Chapter 639: 0640 Grinding the Donkey (Third Update)

Six people stepped into the Shooting Moon Cave, with Ye Qiu becoming the vanguard, used by the five Guan clansmen as a pawn to scout the path.

"Ye, don’t think about playing tricks. It will take at least ten days to half a month for your strength to recover. The giant statue carving cannot enter here, so you won’t be able to take on the five of us. Just honestly scout ahead."

Guan Yue wanted Ye Qiu to recognize the reality and did not want Ye Qiu to harbor thoughts of dealing with them, so he appropriately issued a warning to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu did not speak and moved forward slowly, wary of the killing intent that could arise at any moment within the cave.

They hadn’t walked far when everyone saw the cave widen ahead into a circular stone cavern, which was very large, like a huge stone room.

In the center, there was a stone seat, likely where the master of the cave used to sit in meditation.

Beside the stone seat, there was a stone table with a teapot and teacups on it, along with a book and a cloth bag beside them.

For safety reasons, Guan Yue motioned for Ye Qiu to pick them up and check for any dangers. After all, Ye Qiu was now in their hands, unable to escape, and he was not worried about Ye Qiu taking these items for himself.

Ye Qiu picked up the ancient book, which was covered in a layer of dust. After wiping off the dust, its true face was revealed.

It was a book of cultivation methods!

Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, and he randomly flipped to a page and glanced at it. He discovered it was filled with martial arts experiences, a handbook of a mighty warrior.

Seeing that Ye Qiu was unharmed, Guan Yue laughed, "Brother Ye, give that to me, that item doesn’t belong to you."

Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly threw the ancient book over. Guan Yue caught it, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes grew brighter, feeling that the martial arts experience recorded inside was of great help to him.

Ye Qiu’s gaze then fell on the nearby cloth bag, a brown bag, the size of a palm, seemingly able to contain some small items. However, when Ye Qiu picked it up, it felt somewhat heavy, but he felt there were things inside.

"You can put things down there, now everything here belongs to us, just stand aside and watch."

Seeing that Ye Qiu was unharmed, Guan Yue coldly commanded while coming over and snatching the cloth bag from Ye Qiu’s hands. Not feeling it was any good, she threw it back on the stone table.

However, a teapot nearby caught Guan Yue’s interest. She opened the teapot and sniffed it, her eyes suddenly sparkling, and she hurriedly said, "Everyone, come here, this contains something great. I sniffed it, and I felt a lot of my strength returning."

Guan Shan came over, and a few people gathered around the stone table, also sniffing the liquid in the teapot.

"Could this be filled with some kind of heavenly elixir?" another Guan clansman remarked.

Gleeful expressions appeared on both Guan Shan and Guan Yue’s faces, feeling incredibly refreshed just by smelling the liquid in the teapot, it definitely was something extraordinary.

Treasure!

By now, the five of them surrounded the stone table, leaving Ye Qiu to one side.

"An ancient book, a pot of miraculous liquid, indeed it wasn’t in vain coming here. I feel like if I drank the liquid in this teapot, my strength could instantly recover," said Guan Yue.

"Yue’er, don’t drink the liquid in this teapot yet. This thing is greatly beneficial for improving cultivation and shouldn’t be wasted here. If we take it back to our clan and let father drink it, he might even break through, and at that time our Guan clan could definitely become a high-ranking ancient clan," Guan Shan realized the extraordinary nature of the content in the teapot. Although it was only a small half a pot, it was definitely valuable.

At that moment, a young member of the Guan clan whispered in Guan Shan’s ear, "Guan Shan, we have taken all the treasures, what should we do with this person from the Ye clan?"

Since there was no danger inside the cave, it didn’t matter whether Ye Qiu stayed or not.

"Him?" Guan Shan’s gaze shifted to Ye Qiu, "Brother Ye, unfortunately, there’s nothing dangerous here, and now that we have what we need, it seems you are of no use anymore."

"Brother, just kill him. Keeping this man will eventually be a disaster. If word gets out that our Guan family has obtained a strongman’s secret manual and this treasure, many ancient clans will definitely target our Guan family," Guan Yue said coldly, as Ye Qiu was no longer of any value to them and she was ready to dispose of him.

"Brother Ye, how about this, tell me the method to control the giant statue, and I will give you a way to survive," Guan Shan said, ignoring the others’ suggestions and smiling instead.

Ye Qiu sneered inwardly. If it weren’t for the giant statue, he believed that Guan Shan would definitely have agreed with the others’ suggestions to kill him.

"You mean as long as I tell you the method to control the giant statue, you will let me live and leave?" Ye Qiu asked indifferently.

Guan Shan shook his head, "I only said I’d give you a way to survive, not that you would leave alive. As long as you are willing to tell me the method to control the giant statue, I won’t kill you. I will just break your limbs and throw you into the dark river. Whether you can survive or not will be up to your luck."

"Hehe... Is that your idea of a way to survive, Brother Guan?" Ye Qiu chuckled coldly.

"Brother Ye, a man must know his limitations. If it weren’t for the fact that you did contribute and brought a giant statue, you’d be dead already," Guan Shan said with a smile, yet his tone was utterly cold. "Now that you don’t have a better option and being a wise man, you should know how to choose. At least by telling me the method, you still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, this cave will be your grave!"

"Hehe, then I really ought to thank you, Brother Guan..."

"Brother Ye, I don’t have much time for you to think, speak or die?" I’m only giving you three seconds.

"One, two..."

"Fine, I’ll tell you the method!" Ye Qiu clenched his teeth, showing a resentful expression. Seeing his look, Guan Shan knew Ye Qiu had chosen to compromise.

"Smart, I knew you’d make that choice. Now you may speak!" Guan Shan exclaimed in excitement, his control over the giant statue would even give him the confidence to compete with the geniuses of the three great ancient clans.

"If you don’t want others to hear the control method, come close to my mouth, I’ll only tell you," Ye Qiu said coldly, showing a look of extreme disgust but also a compromise.

Guan Shan laughed and raised an eyebrow, "Good."

He truly came close to Ye Qiu, ready to hear the method of controlling the giant statue from Ye Qiu’s mouth.

Just as Guan Shan bent over, Ye Qiu suddenly erupted, landing a fierce punch on Guan Shan’s back, immediately flooring him.

This scene was beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Weren’t you out of strength? It’s impossible for you to recover so quickly," Guan Yue stared at Ye Qiu as if she had seen a ghost.

Guan Shan, struck by Ye Qiu’s blow, spat blood, nearly having his chest pierced through.

Ye Qiu stepped on Guan Shan’s arm and swept his gaze over the remaining four, said, "Who told you I was out of strength? Did you think I didn’t know about your intentions to use me to enter this place and covet my giant statue?"

"This act should end now."

Ye Qiu’s aura suddenly erupted powerfully. He stomped fiercely, breaking Guan Shan’s arm and charged towards the four.
