Chapter 636: 0637 Acting! (Fourth Update)

Having distanced themselves from the giant statue, Tang Hao and the other two breathed a sigh of relief; they had narrowly escaped death at its feet moments ago.

"Are you okay, Su Rou?" Seeing Tang Surou in a daze, Tang Hao ran over, asking with concern.

"I’m fine!" Tang Surou shook her head. She was still puzzled why the giant statue didn’t attack her like it did before in the ancient city, where it attacked indiscriminately. Despite racking her brains, she couldn’t figure it out.

"As long as you’re fine, that’s good, that’s good." Tang Hao chuckled, then his expression turned cold. "Li Clan, Xiang Clan, I, Tang Hao, will remember this grudge!"

Tang Hao and Tang Lu rubbed their arms. Clashing with the descendants of the ancient clans had left them with minor injuries. They echoed, "If it hadn’t been for their greater numbers, we wouldn’t be afraid of them. Luckily, heaven was on our side and the appearance of the giant statue carving allowed us to escape."

"Was it really a coincidence?" Tang Surou frowned.

...

Whistling and chewing on a grass root, Ye Qiu sat leisurely atop the giant statue.

His encounter with Tang Surou and the others was indeed a coincidence, but Ye Qiu had not shown himself. Instead, he had controlled the giant statue to drive away the people from the Li and Xiang Clans, resolving the crisis for Tang Surou and the others. As for saving Tang Hao and the two others, he simply didn’t want Tang Surou to venture into the Great Emperor’s tomb alone.

At the very least, Tang Hao and his group were much safer than the others from the ancient clans, and they wouldn’t make a move against Tang Surou.

As for why he didn’t show himself, Ye Qiu had his own thoughts. With Tang Surou and Tang Hao around, he couldn’t act without restraint. Many of his methods couldn’t be revealed. Furthermore, he was still thinking of dealing with Ji Lingchen. Being with them would surely hinder his actions.

He was far less restricted on his own!

As the giant statue carved advanced, a vast Withered Forest appeared ahead.

Ye Qiu ordered the giant statue to come to an abrupt halt. The forest was filled with an aura of death, not seeming like a good place.

Nevertheless, Ye Qiu didn’t stop. After all, this was the closest route to the land of opportunity.

He continued forward.

The giant statue took large strides, constantly moving forward. Soon, Ye Qiu noticed five figures moving ahead, and the five also heard the footsteps behind them.

"Huh? A giant statue carving?" The five of them were taken aback.

"Look, there’s even a person standing on top of it!"

The five quickly noticed Ye Qiu.

"The giant statue doesn’t harm him? Could he be controlling the giant statue carving?" Among the five, there were clever individuals. Seeing Ye Qiu standing safely atop it, they knew he was no ordinary person.

The five exchanged glances; then the leading man cupped his hands and said, "Brother, may you come down for a talk?"

"What is it?" Ye Qiu stood above, unmoved, looking down at the five people.

The man didn’t get angry and spoke in a very friendly manner. "It’s clear that you possess great strength and have this puppet, the giant statue carving at your command. We’ve come across a place of opportunity, and we would like to propose collaboration with you. Are you interested?"

"Oh? Sounds good!" Ye Qiu laughed and promptly jumped down from the giant statue.

Seeing Ye Qiu come down, the faces of the five brightened.

"Brother, I am Guan Shan from the Guan Clan, and this is my sister, Guan Yue, along with a few other clan members," Guan Shan immediately introduced.

Ye Qiu scanned the five. Guan Shan had an average build but cut a fine figure, his face always adorned with a smile.

Among the five, Guan Yue stood out, with a voluptuous figure and long braided hair, although her looks were just average, not quite beautiful.

"Let’s talk about this opportunity first!" Ye Qiu said directly.

"Brother, there’s no hurry, we still don’t know which ancient clan you hail from?" Guan Shan said with a smile.

"Me? Haha... the Ye Clan!" Ye Qiu declared magnanimously.

The Ye Clan?

The five exchanged glances. There was such an ancient clan in the ancient lands? How had they never heard of it? However, seeing that Ye Qiu wasn’t willing to reveal more about his identity, Guan Shan didn’t press further, saying, "Then I shall address you as Brother Ye."

"Brother Ye, the opportunity at hand is quite tricky to seize. The five of us have exerted a great deal of effort, yet failed to succeed. Fortunately, we happened upon you, Brother Ye. I believe with your addition, we will surely obtain it," Guan Shan said.

"Oh? How do you know it will work out with my involvement? Could it be that Brother Guan Shan is aware of this Ye’s capabilities?" Ye Qiu asked with a laugh.

Guan Shan said, "Brother Ye jests. A person who can stand atop a giant statue is surely no weakling; therefore, Brother Ye must be a master. With that in mind, Brother Ye, if we are able to obtain this fortune, shall we divide it equally between us?"

"No problem. I’ve been wandering around the Great Emperor’s tomb for several days without any gains. If I can cooperate with you all and snag some treasures, why not!" Ye Qiu declared.

"Excellent, I knew Brother Ye was a straightforward man. How about this, we rest here tonight and set off together tomorrow?" Guan Shan suggested.

"No problem!" Ye Qiu nodded in agreement.

As the night fell within the Great Emperor’s tomb, everyone gathered some firewood and encircled the flames.

"Brother Ye, may I ask a presumptuous question? I hope you won’t take offense."

"Go ahead."

"This giant statue, I’ve seen it, and it’s incredibly powerful. How did you manage to make it obey you?" Guan Shan asked.

At Guan Shan’s words, Guan Yue and the other three from the Guan clan all turned their attention to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu chuckled, "Quite simple, ’Blood Pact Recognition’."

"Blood Pact Recognition?" Guan Shan nodded, giving Ye Qiu a thumbs-up: "Brother Ye is truly formidable, even defeating a giant statue. It seems that tomorrow’s opportunity will not slip by."

After chatting with the members of the Guan clan for over an hour, Ye Qiu returned to rest atop the giant statue’s head.

Meanwhile, Guan Shan and Guan Yue, along with the other three, pretended to sleep against a withered tree.

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, all five eyes opened.

"Brother, you’re not seriously thinking about taking him there, are you? Only we know about that place. Although this man from the Ye Clan seems strong, we shouldn’t just hand over half of the opportunity to him!" Guan Yue said, confused.

Guan Shan laughed, "Silly little sister, do you think I would really give him half?"

"So, you just want to use his strength to get in?" another member of the Guan clan said.

Guan Shan glanced at Ye Qiu atop the giant statue and whispered, "Of course. With the strength of the five of us, it is naturally insufficient to enter, but we can’t casually disclose the place to other ancient clans, as that would only lead to trouble. However, this man from the Ye Clan is different."

"Look at him, he’s alone. His strength is at most Legendary level. With the five of us, can’t we handle a single person?"

"Once the opportunity is in our hands, we can ’discard the millstone after the milling.’ Not only that, but we can also turn the giant statue he controls into our tool."

Listening to Guan Shan’s words, the four others’ eyes lit up, thinking it was a good plan. Guan Yue frowned, "But I feel that what he said about ’Blood Pact Recognition’ is a lie. What do we do about that?"

"When the time comes, we just force him to tell us. The Ye Clan must be a very small ancient clan, so insignificant that we’ve never heard of it. This Ye must have controlled the giant statue by sheer luck. Don’t worry—if he enters, all the opportunities will belong to our Guan clan!" Guan Shan said with a cold laugh.

The low discussion among the five did not escape Ye Qiu’s ears. He appeared to be resting above, but he hadn’t slept a wink. From the moment Guan Shan had initiated the conversation and made various inquiries, Ye Qiu had sensed a conspiratorial air.

"Since they want to play a game, I, Ye Qiu, shall indulge them and play it out to the end." Ye Qiu turned over, a smile playing on his lips as he left his back to the five people down below.
