Chapter 735: Chapter 0736: Return to the Jin Clan! (Second Update)

Challengers came in an endless stream, and those of lower strength were dealt with by Jin Shanshun. When Jin Shanshun couldn’t defeat them, it would be Ye Qiu’s turn to step in. Each time, Ye Qiu ended the battle with a narrow victory, and the two of them managed to acquire a fair amount of herbs and weapons over time.

"This guy is too odd. Some challengers are clearly weak, but he still seems to struggle so much during the fight. Could he be faking it?"

Some people noticed Ye Qiu’s strangeness. Logically, after battling continuously for so many days, Ye Qiu’s strength hadn’t seemed that impressive, but somehow, he always came out on top. Once or twice might be dismissed, but time and again, it became too suspicious.

The descendants of the ancient clans were no fools and soon detected something odd. Upon further thought, someone remarked, "Have you noticed that those who come to challenge him are always from the middle and upper ranks of the various clans? As for the top geniuses, not one has shown up."

Hearing this, some recalled and realized that it was indeed the case. The geniuses from the three great ancient clans, Ji Lingchen and Mu Cannan, hadn’t even made an appearance, which was very peculiar. Surely, after Ye Qiu repeatedly defeated the descendants of the clans, these geniuses should have shown up, but the reality was quite the opposite. Not only did they not appear, but they also didn’t utter a word.

The top geniuses from the three great ancient clans were too quiet.

Their silence was thick with odd implications, and someone said, "Have you noticed that after the initial challenges from the descendants of the three great ancient clans, there haven’t been any more challenges from them? It’s all been descendants from the other ancient clans."

"Now that you mention it, I do have a recollection of it. These days, indeed, no descendants from the three great ancient clans have come to challenge Ye Qiu. Earlier, I heard that they would get a reward if they defeated Ye Qiu, but now, I guess the situation has changed."

The discussions didn’t stop, and the challenges continued. With some attentive people keeping track, a surprising discovery was made—Ye Qiu had won every single battle, defeating almost all the descendants from the other ancient clans.

When this news spread, many finally realized that Ye Qiu might have been feigning weakness, and his actual strength was very formidable.

Some refused to believe it and continued to challenge him, almost depleting their family’s herbs, but they still ended up defeated, while Ye Qiu earned a great deal of respect.

"Tricks, this guy’s tricks are too deep!"

Someone came to their senses, cursing themselves for being foolish in the dark alleys. They not only sent their family’s herbs to Ye Qiu but also got beaten up.

"Such a person is too shameless, simply a swindler, duping my innocent heart."

"Damn it, all the medicine my family gave me for my recovery is now won by this guy. I really feel like dying now."

There were too many with similar experiences, only able to console each other. Once Ye Qiu’s true nature was revealed, the number of challengers plummeted, leaving Ye Qiu standing in the courtyard, looking on eagerly.

"Well then, well then, it looks like these people won’t come to challenge anymore," Ye Qiu said with a shrug and sat back down in the stone chair.

Jin Shanshun was practicing his boxing shirtless in the courtyard. He hadn’t lacked opponents these days, fighting descendants from various ancient clans. This was a valuable experience for Jin Shanshun, making his martial techniques more and more proficient. In less than a month, his body had undergone such a transformation—from flabby flesh to solid muscle—that even Jin Shanshun himself found it hard to believe.

As for his passion, mechanics research, he had also made significant progress of late, attempting to create golems powered by Crystal Stones.

Seeing Ye Qiu’s somewhat disappointed expression, Jin Shanshun stopped his training. While walking over and wiping the sweat from his body, he said, "Brother Ye, our scheme to lure people in works well at first, but as time goes by, more and more people see through it. I reckon no one is going to bring herbs to challenge you anymore."

Ye Qiu, nonchalantly touching his nose, didn’t care much about sparring with the challengers; it was just a form of exercise. His only regret was that he could no longer receive the various old herbs.

In these days, the medicinal herbs he had won were numerous, enough for him to refine several types of elixirs. Coupled with the medicinal herbs occasionally sent by Yun Shang Palace, Ye Qiu felt that given a few days, he could refine several furnaces of elixirs, which would certainly enhance his strength significantly.

The month was about to end, and Wu Yang the Venerable would be leaving this place. If he couldn’t strengthen his ability before Wu Yang’s departure, he was likely to be captured by people from the three ancient clans and be at their mercy.

"Shanshun, we will return to the Jin Clan later. I want to seclude myself for a few days," Ye Qiu suddenly said.

Jin Shanshun also hadn’t returned to the Jin Clan for days and had wanted to go back to check on things. Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, he did not hesitate and immediately started packing.

Less than half an hour later, the two of them left the courtyard and headed to the Jin Clan, while Wu Yang the Venerable, like the wind, remained hidden in the void, unseen, guarding around Ye Qiu.

Upon their arrival at the Jin Clan, many of the ancient clan’s descendants showed surprise at Jin Shanshun’s return.

At this moment, Jin Shanshun was a controversial figure within the Jin Clan.

These days, the news of him following Ye Qiu at the courtyard provided by Yun Shang Palace and accepting challenges from the descendants of various ancient clans had already spread to the Jin Clan.

Many said that a remarkable figure had emerged from the Jin Clan, whose strength now far exceeded his past stature, having defeated the talents of prominent ancient clans several times, vastly different from the Jin Shanshun of the past.

But there were also those who felt that Jin Shanshun, disregarding the face of the Jin Clan and instead, following Ye Qiu and making enemies of various ancient clan descendants, could potentially implicate the Jin Clan and bring down repression from the larger clans.

The two viewpoints had caused an uproar within the Jin Clan. Jin Shanshun’s father, Clan Leader Jin Wanshan, had been dragging his feet on this matter and had not dealt with his son. But now that Jin Shanshun had returned, those who had a prejudice against him demanded punishment, insisting on solitary reflection to prevent him from bringing disaster upon the clan.

Jin Wanshan was under great pressure.

"Clan Leader, I urge you to make a decision soon. Although Jin Shanshun is your son, if we continue to let him act recklessly, it’s our Jin Clan that will suffer," said Elder Jin Jinmu.

"Indeed, we are simply a minor ancient clan, always at the mercy of others and living under the major ancient clans. And now, with Jin Shanshun being so daring, it’s very likely that he will bring catastrophe upon our Jin Clan. I suggest that we restrain him first, then capture Ye Qiu and hand them over to the three great ancient clans to atone for his actions. Only by doing so can our Jin Clan avoid calamity," Elder Jin Shui seconded the motion.

Just as Jin Shanshun was about to enter the hall, he overheard several elders debating with his father, and his brows furrowed.

"Do you need help?" Ye Qiu asked.

Jin Shanshun shook his head: "I can handle it myself."

Then Jin Shanshun’s voice rose from behind everyone: "Elders, are you concerned that I will implicate the Jin Clan? Today I will give you an explanation!"

Whoosh.

Many from the Jin Clan turned to look at Jin Shanshun and Ye Qiu, who were slowly approaching.

Jin Zhimo looked at Jin Shanshun and whispered softly, "Brother..."
