Chapter 669: 0670 Appears! (Second Update)

In the underground dark river for a month, Ye Qiu had stayed in the underground world. Now, leaving the dark river and seeing the scenery before him, he felt as if he had been reborn.

During this time, Ye Qiu had practiced the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique to an even more profound degree. His current location attracted considerable thunder and lightning, leading some ancient clans to think a great opportunity had emerged. They dug up the ground three feet deep. Ye Qiu timely ceased the operation, changed locations, and continued to activate it. After several repetitions, he was not discovered by anyone.

Now, with a single thought, the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique operated automatically. The sky no longer brought down lightning, and he could use the Twelve Heavenly Tribulations Technique at will.

Apart from that, Ye Qiu organized his martial arts, firmly memorizing the insights of Tai Chi, knowing that once he left the Great Emperor’s Tomb, his Tai Chi domain would soon form, and his strength would become much stronger.

From a flask of Spiritual Liquid inside the Sumeru Bag, Ye Qiu took only a sip, which refreshed his bones and caused his blood to surge. The black flame power within his Dantian surged wildly again, showing that it was more potent than a first-rate Crystal Stone; it could also restore his strength. Unfortunately, there was not much left in the flask, so Ye Qiu put it away.

As for the six stone statues in the Sumeru Bag, excluding the two from which he had taken the eyes and the power Crystal Stones, the remaining four were intact, like giant sculptures, responsive to his commands.

"I wonder how Fat Jin is doing; I promised to lend him the stone statue to study." Ye Qiu smiled as he thought of Jin Shanshun, that expert in bizarre skills who’s whereabouts were unknown.

"After so long, no one should be looking for me anymore," Ye Qiu rubbed his temples. After all, he had been gone for a month, and even people like Ji Lingchen couldn’t be searching for him every day.

With all distractions put away, Ye Qiu started on his way. He wanted to check out the current situation inside the Great Emperor’s Tomb and he also felt that the three-month deadline was approaching.

Ye Qiu walked slowly out of the river valley alone.

"We’ve been guarding here for a month and haven’t seen a single person. If I had known this, I would have been better off going somewhere else to find opportunities," a young clansman grumbled.

"With our strength, wandering around now could easily get us killed and stripped of everything. Only by working for Ji Lingchen can we ensure no one dares to touch us. As the closing of the Emperor Level gets closer, some people are going mad. Without a big tree to lean on, how could we little clansmen survive until now?" replied another person next to him.

"That’s true, but here we are squatting daily. How lucky would we be to spot the Masked Man? Do you think he might be hiding away cultivating? That’s an Emperor Level opportunity, after all. His strength is already on par with the top three talents. If he integrates the Emperor Level opportunity, wouldn’t he become the foremost among the young generation?"

"Impossible. Emperor Level opportunities are not so easy to cultivate. Don’t think too much about it. Let’s just take each day as it comes. When the closing date arrives, we can leave this cursed place safely, without worry anymore about others attacking us. Once we are out of the Great Emperor’s Tomb, those with ulterior motives won’t dare attack blatantly, lest it leads to a great clan war," the person talked on, unaware that the man beside him was staring dumbfounded at a figure approaching not far away, wearing a mask. Wasn’t that the person they were searching for?

"It’s him... him..." the person gaped.

The youth next to him, still rambling, huffed, "What him, him, him?" and smacked him on the shoulder, loudly asking, "What’s the matter?"

The dumbfounded expression of his companion made the man also follow his gaze. In his vision entered a young man, slowly approaching, wearing a rigid mask.

It was the Masked Man whom Ji Lingchen wanted to find.

The man who had seized the Emperor Level opportunity, a figure unknown to none inside the Great Emperor’s Tomb, and the fourth greatest talent among the younger generation.

Had he truly appeared?

The two were just here to appease Ji Lingchen, seeking safety for themselves. Like many weaker clansmen, they had done the same.

Ji Lingchen knew Ye Qiu had infiltrated the dark river, so after leaving the cave, he and Mu Cannan sent people to search for places with rivers, suspecting Ye Qiu might appear from such locations.

The two of them guessed right, Ye Qiu indeed emerged from a river valley, but he hadn’t gone far when he saw two descendants of the ancient clan on stakeout.

Finally seeing people, Ye Qiu went straight up to them and asked proactively, "How many days until the Great Emperor’s tomb closes?"

Startled by Ye Qiu’s inquiry, the two were taken aback, and the youth who had first noticed Ye Qiu said fearfully, "Ten days left."

"Only ten days left?" Ye Qiu murmured to himself for a while.

This was the guy who had escaped from the pursuit of the two prodigies, Ji Lingchen and Mu Cannan!

The two descendants of the ancient clan trembled with fear, worried Ye Qiu might kill them both with one strike, given their strength was no match for him.

Seeing their frightened expressions, as if they had seen a ghost, Ye Qiu laughed and said, "Do you know me?"

"We do!"

"No... we don’t!"

The two spoke inconsistently, clearly terrified by Ye Qiu’s reputation. Seeing their genuine fear, Ye Qiu inquired further about recent events before slowly walking away.

Ye Qiu’s figure moved away.

"We’re still alive..." the two looked at each other, marveling that the masked man had not attacked them and had instead been very gentle.

"Quick, quick, let’s report to Lord Ji Lingchen that we found the masked man."

"But we let him go! Lord Ji Lingchen won’t blame us, will he?"

"Are you daft? Were we ever his match? Just being alive is lucky enough. Such a strong figure should be dealt with by Lord Ji Lingchen."

The two quickly left the river valley and headed towards Ji Lingchen’s location.

As Ye Qiu walked out of the river valley, a smile still on his face, even though he could still hear the two reporting, he did not stop them or take action. Random killing was not his liking, and not all ancient clan descendants were involved in the destruction of the Dugu clan; besides, Ye Qiu did not consider the two a threat, so he simply let them go and report.

"Letting Ji Lingchen and Mu Cannan know of my presence is good, and it’s time to test my strength," Ye Qiu slowly stopped, looked ahead at the boundless scenery, and thought of the first step towards avenging the Dugu Clan: to eliminate the descendants of the ancient clans who had once taken action. This was a plan that needed to move forward.

With the power Ye Qiu now wielded, putting aside his own ability, just a few stone statues and a giant sculpture were enough to handle these ancient clan descendants.

Revenge would start within the Great Emperor’s tomb, and Ye Qiu’s eyes gradually shifted from a smile to a cold glare.
