Chapter 691: 0692 Immortal? (Second Update)

Tang Clan.

Three days had passed, and Tang Feng had yet to return, leaving Tang Heshan laden with heavy thoughts.

Now that Ye Qiu had been captured, the fact that Elder Tang Feng hadn’t come back was troubling. What could be the reason?

The other elders speculated that perhaps something had happened along the way.

"Continue to send people to gather information. Report everything that happens within the ancient lands to me," Tang Heshan instructed, and the Tang clan disciples in front of him nodded in acknowledgment.

Tang Surou’s boudoir.

Huan’er muttered at her side, "It’s been three days, and Elder Tang Feng hasn’t returned. I wonder if Ye Qiu is still with him."

Throughout these three days, Tang Surou hadn’t been able to calm her mind. There wasn’t a hint of progress in her cultivation. She knew her state of mind was in disarray. It was because of an outsider that she had sent Huan’er to secretly eavesdrop on news several times. If her father, Tang Heshan, found out, he would certainly reprimand her.

"What’s the situation with the Ji Clan, Mu Clan, and Shi Clan in the past few days?" Tang Surou asked.

Huan’er immediately replied, "The Ji Clan sent someone once, saying they wanted to see Ye Qiu. The Clan Leader dismissed them, claiming Ye Qiu was taken away by someone from the Shi Clan. As for the Mu Clan... it’s very strange. Among the three great ancient clans, the only one that has not come knocking is the Mu Clan. Could it be that they are not interested in the Emperor Level opportunity on Ye Qiu’s person?"

Tang Surou shook her head slightly. To say that the Mu Clan was indifferent to the Emperor Level opportunity was impossible. Even the Ji Clan couldn’t resist the temptation, so how could the Mu Clan remain aloof? Tang Surou felt there must be some information she was unaware of. However, since even Huan’er, a skilled information gatherer, didn’t know, it seemed certain that the Mu Clan must have hidden something.

It was not surprising that the Mu Clan sent someone, but it was strange that they did not.

"What news has the Mu Clan sealed off?" Tang Surou murmured to herself.

During these three days, apart from the three great ancient clans, people from first-rate ancient clans also visited the Tang Clan. After many ancient clans learned that Ye Qiu was taken away by someone from the Shi Clan, even the Ji Clan headed to the Shi Clan.

The Shi Clan had not brought Ye Qiu back at all. As a great clan, the Shi Clan didn’t want to offer too many explanations. When some smaller ancient clans came to visit, they were sent away directly. But when people from the Ji Clan visited, the Shi Clan had to treat them seriously.

After being told how Ye Qiu was taken away by someone else, the elders of the Ji Clan left the Shi Clan. Many ancient clans speculated wildly, all wondering what news the Ji Clan had received.

The quietest by far was the Mu Clan.

Inside the Mu Clan.

Mu Canshou and Mu Cannan were in the study of the Clan Leader, Mu Tianxing.

"Canshou, how is your injury?" Mu Tianxing asked with concern.

"It’s no longer a serious problem now. Thank you for your concern, Clan Leader," Mu Canshou said respectfully.

"That’s good to hear," Mu Tianxing nodded and turned to look at the bookshelf behind him, speaking indifferently, "Now, most people in the ancient lands believe that the Tang Clan kid fell into the hands of the Shi Clan. The ones who know the truth are probably just the three great ancient clans."

"Clan Leader, the Tang Clan has declared that the fellow is not a disciple of their clan, but a martial artist from the mundane world, named Ye Qiu," Mu Cannan informed.

"Ye Qiu..." Mu Tianxing murmured the name, then spoke with self-mockery, "The opportunity within the tomb of the Great Emperor ended up in the hands of a mere martial artist from the martial world. I’ll let that be. Not only was it a slap in the face to our Mu Clan, but all other ancient clans felt the sting equally. And that’s not the worst of it. What infuriates me the most is that our Mu Clan was actually used by this brat. Our two mythic-level elders became his saviors, only to be outwitted and eluded in the end. The reputation of our Mu Clan!"

Upon hearing Mu Tianxing bring up this matter, both Mu Cannan and Mu Canshou chose silence. When Mu Tianxing learned about Ye Qiu’s escape from the Mu Clan, he became furious immediately upon their return. Not only had Ye Qiu been released, but under the watch of two elders, Mu Canshou had even been heavily injured, nearly causing the Mu Clan to lose a potential powerhouse. How could Mu Tianxing not be enraged? He immediately punished the two elders severely.

The most frustrated of all was surely Mu Canshou. All his belongings had been taken by Ye Qiu, especially the ancient tome obtained from the tomb of the Great Emperor, which he hadn’t had the chance to study before it was stolen. Along with the tome, some crystal stones in his cloth bag, accumulated over many years for a breakthrough to a higher realm, were lost. In an instant, he was back to square one. Such a humiliating event, too shameful to speak of, he couldn’t dare share with anyone and could only bury it in his heart. Otherwise, he would certainly become the laughingstock of the Mu Clan.

Unaware of Mu Canshou’s distress, Mu Tianxing ordered them to focus on cultivation, leaving the pursuit of Ye Qiu to others and sparing them the task.

Within the ancient land, undercurrents surged rapidly. Apart from the three great ancient clans and the Tang clan, the other ancient clans were in the dark, with only people from these four clans frantically searching in the ancient land.

For the past three days, Tang Feng hadn’t engaged with any of the figures that kept appearing. His strength was still in a weakened state and it was not advisable for him to act, as it could damage his origin. Over these three days, he had been focusing on recovery, but unfortunately, the results were insignificant. The spiritual energy he gathered was like a drop in the bucket. To kill Ye Qiu, his final strike had been so powerful that recovering to his peak condition would take at least a year and a half.

After Tang Feng chose a new hiding spot, he threw the cold and hard-as-stone body of Ye Qiu onto the ground.

The reason he was carrying Ye Qiu was that he had made a baffling discovery: Ye Qiu’s body, despite being eroded by the ice Power of Laws, hadn’t shattered. That was beyond Tang Feng’s expectations. Based on past experiences, his ice Power of Laws, once it penetrated an opponent’s body, should have instantly reduced them to debris.

Yet with Ye Qiu, apart from his body becoming as hard as stone, there was still a faint breath. The man was unexpectedly still alive, tenaciously clinging to life.

This discovery shocked Tang Feng. Was the power of his ice Power of Laws not strong enough?

He shouldn’t be alive!

Tang Feng couldn’t understand why Ye Qiu’s life force was so resilient.

"Let’s see how long you can hold on. Enduring the erosion of the ice Power of Laws, even a mythic-level Martial Artist couldn’t bear it and would be tormented to death, let alone a legend-level like you," he said.

Tang Feng wasn’t worried. With his mythic-level power, destroying Ye Qiu was an absolute suppression in terms of realm, giving Ye Qiu no chance to resist. He couldn’t believe that Ye Qiu’s willpower could surpass that of a mythic-level being and withstand the crushing force of the Power of Laws.

Once again, Tang Feng entered a meditative state, beginning his recovery. Spiritual energy gathered around him slowly; he didn’t dare to gather too much, lest he be discovered.

Once bitten, twice shy. Tang Feng didn’t want anyone to locate him like Ye Qiu did.

Ye Qiu lay alone on the ground, appearing like a mere stone, icy cold, breathless, with life force as weak as a flickering candle, ready to extinguish at a puff.

A chickpea-sized white light orb had transformed into countless fine strands of light, spreading throughout Ye Qiu’s body.

At that moment, it began to erode the dantian. Strands of the ice Power of Laws entered the dantian, and just as this power reached it...

The residual eyeball that had been floating in the dantian suddenly burst forth with a ray of light, shining upon the ice Power of Laws.

Ye Qiu’s body trembled slightly, as if waking up from a deep slumber.

Right then, Tang Feng opened his eyes. He felt as if he had sensed a fluctuation in the air around Ye Qiu. However, looking at that moment, Ye Qiu was still motionless, solid as a rock, lying there, while Tang Feng, gazing at the figure a few meters away, couldn’t help but doubt, "Was it an illusion?"
