Chapter 613: 0614 Enters the Ancient Land! (Third Update)

"You’re busy doing nothing, as you’ve practically trampled the entire martial world under your feet," the old lecher scoffed, glancing disdainfully at Ye Qiu. He coughed twice and continued, "I’ve called you here because I have an idea that I’d like to discuss with you."

Ye Qiu murmured to himself, sensing that the old lecher wasn’t likely to discuss anything positive with him today; that old fellow must be scheming something again.

"Alright, go ahead."

Seeing the old lecher feign a serious demeanor, Ye Qiu relaxed and decided to see what tough problem the old man had set for him this time.

"My good disciple, look... your strength now stands at the pinnacle of the martial world, and you are regarded by many members of the Dragon Group as the top master."

"Your master and I are getting on in years, and although we have reunited, our time left is not much. Your master and I have discussed, and decided to hand over the Dragon Group to you to manage, while we enjoy our retirement and go on a honeymoon," the old lecher said earnestly.

Ye Qiu was caught off guard, as if he would have spit out his drink had he been drinking water.

Honeymoon!

And that they wanted him to manage the Dragon Group...

"I know you’re afraid you’re not up to the task, no worries, I’ve already spoken to him. With his support, no one can stop you from becoming the leader of the Dragon Group. Your contribution to Huaxia this time was immense, and with that merit, you’re fully capable of taking over the Dragon Group," the old lecher assured.

Veins popped on Ye Qiu’s forehead.

The old lecher did not stop there, continuing, "As for the current members of the Dragon Group, I’ve rigorously trained them. With your strength, you can certainly assert control. Most of them admire you, so you wouldn’t reject this great responsibility from your master, would you?"

Ye Qiu inwardly groaned, as this was less of an idea and more of a burden being placed on him. Managing so many people and such a large base was overwhelming to think about. It was true that his strength was formidable, but he was not invincible. Moreover, he still had many things to attend to, including avenging the Dugu’s.

The old lecher was unaware of Ye Qiu’s past, and to avoid truly hurting his feelings, Ye Qiu decided to reveal his origins to him.

Ye Qiu did not refuse the old lecher and began to relate his background.

After a long pause, the old lecher’s brow furrowed deeply. He hadn’t expected such a background for his disciple, burdened with the vengeance of annihilating his clan. What shocked him the most was that Ye Qiu was actually a descendant of the Dugu family. Recalling Ye Qiu’s unique perspicacity, the old lecher realized that such eyes were a unique trait of the Dugu family, and he had even previously asked Ye Qiu to search for the Dugu family. It seemed that fate had played a huge joke; Ye Qiu was a descendant of the Dugu family.

Even though he now knew his disciple’s background, the old lecher’s expression remained grave, understanding the formidable opponents Ye Qiu would face—the legendary ancient lands.

Ye Qiu was to contend with such giants, and his path was bound to be anything but smooth, filled with deadly violence.

"I understand now, no wonder you have concerns; you have too many things to handle," the old lecher showed a rare seriousness, putting away his casual demeanor and continued, "But the Dragon Group was single-handedly founded by your master, and in today’s Huaxia, only you can truly enhance the power of the Dragon Group. If handed to someone else, I fear the Dragon Group would soon decline."

Ye Qiu could tell how much the old lecher valued the Dragon Group and understood that Mei Huiling, his master, couldn’t bear to hand it over to someone else. Ye Qiu took a deep breath and after a long pause, said, "All right, after my trip to the ancient lands, I will come back and take over the Dragon Group."

The old lecher nodded, "Good, I will rest easy knowing it’s in your hands. The Dragon Group is Huaxia’s sharp blade; in your hands, it will never rust."

Before long, Ye Qiu left the Dragon Group, while the old lecher remained alone in the room, showing a trace of worry. He could clearly sense the depth of Ye Qiu’s words.

The journey to the ancient lands was fraught with extreme dangers. If Ye Qiu could return alive, he would naturally not refuse to take over the Dragon Group, but if he were to perish...

The old lecher sighed deeply, "I’ve grown old and can no longer protect my own disciple."

The term ’ancient lands’ weighed heavily on the old lecher’s heart, like a massive mountain suffocating him. His disciple, now seeking to level such a mountain, faced an uphill task indeed!

"Master believes you will create a miracle and restore the glory of the Dugu family!"

...

Ye Qiu hurriedly left the Dragon Group base because Tang Surou’s people had arrived to pick him up and head to the Tang family, preparing for the entry into the Great Emperor’s tomb.

After returning to the villa, Ye Qiu did not find Tang Surou or Huan’er, but an old man standing in the hall.

"Are you the Ye Qiu mentioned by the miss?" the old man asked.

"Indeed," Ye Qiu nodded. He felt the old man’s aura was terrifying, as if a primordial beast lurked within his body, calm until it erupted, shaking heaven and earth.

"Then follow me. The master and the young miss are waiting for you at the clan," the old man said coldly, showing no fondness for Ye Qiu. This condescending attitude irritated Ye Qiu, but he did not show it; a venerable being from an ancient land might never regard a martial world’s so-called genius with respect.

"Elder, please wait a moment. I’ll get ready, and then I’ll accompany you," Ye Qiu quickly ran upstairs and put on the mask that Mr. Mo had given him before descending to the second floor.

The old man glanced at the mask on Ye Qiu’s face, snorted as if in ridicule, and without turning back, he pushed open the door first.

Ye Qiu gave Bai Xiong a quick instruction and immediately followed.

Once outside the villa, the old man lightly said, "Keep up, otherwise if you get lost, I won’t take responsibility."

Having said this, the old man’s figure flashed and quickly disappeared from sight; anyone witnessing his speed would have seen a blur, and then he was gone.

Ye Qiu remained silent, seeing that the old man genuinely didn’t care about him, a disdain deep in his bones. Ye Qiu didn’t care, now was not the time to create enmity with this man.

Ye Qiu activated the power of the Black Flame, and his figure also flashed, vanishing instantly.

The old man moved swiftly, but Ye Qiu was quick to catch up. Seeing Ye Qiu catch up so quickly, the old man uttered a light exclamation, surprised that this young man could keep up with his speed.

Whether intentionally making it difficult for Ye Qiu or not, the old man’s speed increased, seemingly trying to shake Ye Qiu off.

Ye Qiu wouldn’t just let him have his way and embarrass himself. Though not a man from the ancient lands, he was a descendant of the Dugu family, and he immediately summoned more Black Flame power to catch up.

The two sped along rapidly, leaving the city behind and entering the mountains within a few breaths, until half an hour later, the old man stopped in front of a stone wall, and Ye Qiu slowed down as well.

"Soon, follow me inside," the old man said without looking at Ye Qiu, his hands forming a complex seal and placing it instantly on the stone wall.

Suddenly, ripples emanated from the wall, as if a water gate had been opened.

The old man entered first, and after a moment of awe, Ye Qiu stepped closer to follow.

As he stepped through, a completely different world appeared before him.

Endless spiritual energy filled the air, and Ye Qiu breathed deeply, feeling refreshed and gazing at the huge mountains, a world of ancient lands as different as a fairyland from the modern world.

Ye Qiu’s body trembled involuntarily, his heart pounding with excitement.

Ancient lands, Ye Qiu was here!
