Chapter 677: 0678 Bigger Crisis! (Second Update)

Mu Cannan slowly rose to his feet, not looking at Ye Qiu anymore. Glancing over at Mu Canshou and the others, he said, "Let’s go."

Mu Canshou wanted to say something but seeing the expressionless face of Mu Cannan, he swallowed his words back.

The members of the Mu clan left, leaving Ye Qiu standing there alone.

What’s going on?

Did Mu Cannan admit defeat? Why is he not fighting anymore?

Many were confused and didn’t understand why Mu Cannan, with a grim look, left. He didn’t seem to be completely exhausted!

It was Ji Lingchen, not far away, who touched his chin and figured it out.

"Has Mu Cannan’s strength been completely depleted?"

He could tell that Mu Cannan had no power left, as if his Dantian were dry, whereas Ye Qiu’s breath was robust, not at all like someone who had just been in a great battle.

The contrast between the two men was stark, and he understood why Mu Cannan would leave with such an ugly expression, no longer willing to fight.

If they continued to fight, he would just be taking hits, powerless to counterattack. Exposing this scene to everyone would be worse than leaving with dignity.

Otherwise, he would really lose all the face of the Mu clan.

"He won... Does that mean he’ll take over Mu Cannan’s position as the second of the three great prodigies, becoming the one closest to Ji Lingchen?" someone exclaimed.

"I never thought Mu Cannan would lose to him. I wonder how Ye Qiu compares to Ji Lingchen in strength!"

As Mu Cannan and his people quickly left, it also meant that they had no intention of competing for the chance that Ye Qiu possessed. Another prodigy, Shi Qingbing, had been struck in the Dantian by Ye Qiu, and his martial prowess was unknown at the moment. It seemed that Ji Lingchen was the only one left who could possibly contend with Ye Qiu now.

"Will he challenge Ji Lingchen?"

The focus of many turned to Ji Lingchen, with a lot of people hoping he would make a move.

Ye Qiu didn’t look towards Ji Lingchen; instead, he showed a faint smile at Mu Cannan’s departure.

"This Mu Cannan is quite decisive, not acting on impulse. What a pity... If he had continued to fight, I was confident that I could have thoroughly knocked him off his pedestal," Ye Qiu mused to himself, watching Mu Cannan’s retreating figure. He found this guy somewhat difficult to deal with, who retreated immediately upon sensing danger without stubbornly persisting for the sake of his own face.

This kind of person is very frightening!

Although Mu Cannan had lost to him, in Ye Qiu’s mind, he was a formidable adversary, much more challenging to handle than Shi Qingbing.

He had defeated Shi Qingbing, and in the end, Shi Qingbing was willing to risk it all to bring him down. Perhaps many would find Shi Qingbing’s determination fearsome, having the resolve to burn his boats.

But in Ye Qiu’s opinion, it was not Shi Qingbing who was fearsome, but Mu Cannan, who could swallow the bitterness of defeat in front of everyone. This kind of forbearance is rare.

From beginning to end, this was someone careful and clear-headed.

Watching Mu Cannan disappear, Ye Qiu knew that in the Great Emperor’s tomb, this man had no chance to make a move against him anymore.

Ye Qiu’s gaze gradually moved away as he sensed Ji Lingchen’s presence, who was not far and had been watching him all along.

"Does he want to make a move?" Ye Qiu thought to himself. Standing opposite Ji Lingchen was not much of a challenge for him at the moment. Taking advantage of the moment Mu Cannan left, he had already quietly used a top-grade Crystal Stone to recover his strength.

Ye Qiu watched Ji Lingchen, with many people anticipating their fight. However, after a long while, Ji Lingchen turned around instead. He didn’t move towards Ye Qiu but intended to leave the place.

What in the world is happening?

Between the two of them, there was obviously a full-blown intent to fight, so why hadn’t they come to blows?

Many people were puzzled and could not understand Ji Lingchen’s actions.

However, Ye Qiu felt uneasy about Ji Lingchen’s sudden retreat. He was certain that the shallow smile at the bottom of Ji Lingchen’s eyes when he last left was not because the latter was afraid of him or had given up the Emperor Level opportunity on him.

Instead, it held a deeper meaning.

A sense of crisis slowly permeated his heart, Ji Lingchen’s departure sticking like a thorn in his throat.

Ji Lingchen’s move was beyond Ye Qiu’s expectations, and it left the crowd wondering who was the stronger or weaker one between the masked man and Ji Lingchen.

"Young Master, I have a question I don’t understand," a disciple of the Ji clan couldn’t help but ask aloud beside Ji Lingchen.

"Speak."

"Why didn’t you make a move to fight that guy and decide a winner? If you had won, you could have taken the opportunity directly from him." After asking this question, Ji Chuan next to him also looked towards Ji Lingchen, wanting to hear his answer.

Ji Lingchen slightly slowed his pace, his gaze returning from afar, and said to the few people, "Who do you say I am?"

The few were taken aback by Ji Lingchen’s question, and the Ji clan disciple who had asked the question said, "You are the pride of our Ji clan, the number one person in the ancient lands, Ji Lingchen!"

Ji Lingchen smiled faintly, "And him?"

The few knew that Ji Lingchen was referring to the masked man when he said ’him.’ The same Ji clan disciple said, "He is just a guy with no reputation to speak of."

"Then do you understand?" Ji Lingchen said no more, concluding his words before continuing forward, ready to leave the Great Emperor’s tomb.

The Ji clan disciple who had voiced his confusion was still perplexed, failing to understand when Ji Chuan indifferently said, "What Lingchen means is, that guy is simply not qualified to fight with him. He doesn’t want to make the same mistake as Mu Cannan. Winning might allow him to seize the Emperor Level opportunity, but losing would only turn him into a stepping stone for others, boosting their reputation."

"But Ji Lingchen won’t lose!" the Ji clan disciple was still unconvinced.

"Lingchen will not lose, but who is he, Ji Lingchen? The number one pride of the ancient lands, it’s not just anyone who wants to fight can fight him, and regardless of winning or losing, there’s not much of a benefit for Lingchen," Ji Chuan said.

"How is that possible, if he defeated him, the Emperor Level opportunity would fall into our Ji clan’s hands," the Ji clan disciple still couldn’t grasp the idea.

Ji Chuan frowned and said, "Do you think that if Lingchen doesn’t act, the Emperor Level opportunity could escape?"

"In the ancient lands, there has been nothing my Ji clan has wanted and not obtained. He, being at the Legendary realm, can’t escape in the end and will have to hand over the Emperor Level opportunity to my Ji clan willingly." When Ji Chuan said this, the Ji clan disciple finally came to a realization.

Indeed, what need was there for Ji Lingchen, the Ji clan’s heavenly pride, to personally deal with every matter? Since they were just about to leave the Great Emperor’s tomb, the moment they returned to the ancient lands, even if the masked man was unwilling a thousand times over, he would have to obey in front of the number one ancient Ji clan, or else there would be only one outcome, death!

"No wonder the Young Master is known as the number one person in the ancient lands, his every move is a model for our generation to learn from!" This Ji clan disciple, looking at Ji Lingchen’s retreating back, had his eyes shining with admiration. Even among his peers, Ji Lingchen was a mythical existence in the eyes of the many Ji clan disciples.

Without the strongest descendant making a move, many showed a look of disappointment. With the departure of Mu Cannan, Ji Lingchen, and others, some people also began leaving, preparing to leave the Great Emperor’s tomb.

At this moment, some of the intelligent children of the ancient tribes understood Ji Lingchen’s actions. Why he hadn’t made a move, because having a showdown with Ye Qiu was meaningless. As soon as they left the Great Emperor’s tomb, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to escape from the Ji clan’s influence.

This calculation was probably something many realized after Ji Lingchen left indifferently, and by then, many people looked at Ye Qiu with pity and schadenfreude in their eyes.

Ye Qiu himself stood in place, pondering for a long while, more or less guessing the reasons behind Ji Lingchen’s departure.

Next, he would be facing the coveting of the entire Ji clan, or to put it more precisely, the Mu clan wouldn’t give up either, and neither would the Shi clan. Shi Qingbing had been crippled by him, and as soon as they left the Great Emperor’s tomb, the three great ancient clans would be the first to come looking for him.

A sense of crisis quickly took root and sprouted at the bottom of Ye Qiu’s heart, causing his brows to furrow deeply.
