The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood Chapter 849 - 850: The Origin of the Tomb

Ye Mo saw the opened stone door and patted the little girl on the head, expressing his approval. The two did not hesitate and passed through the stone door, only to find another tunnel.

"Why are there so many tunnels?"

As they moved forward, Ye Mo felt sowhat puzzled.

"Brother Ye Mo, there’s another stone door ahead, and it’s not closed."

The little girl pointed ahead and said.

The two of them didn’t hesitate any longer, and with a swift movent, they slipped into the stone door, finding yet another empty tomb inside, with a gigantic athyst coffin. The athyst coffin was already open, with a corpse lying beside it.

Ye Mo approached, noticing that inside the athyst coffin was a corpse, completely intact. Yet Ye Mo knew this corpse had been dead for a long ti, preserved only because of its powerful cultivation in life, which kept the flesh intact over ti.

"Who is this? Li Hun!"

Hong Ling saw the person in the coffin and imdiately exclaid.

"Who is Li Hun?"

Noticing Hong Ling’s excitent, Ye Mo vaguely guessed that this person was exceptionally formidable in life.

"He, along with the Heavenly Snare Blood Lady, were peak Wheel of Reincarnation powerhouses and owners of the seven Ancient Evil Weapons. They battled three tis, and the Blood Lady never won."

Hong Ling said calmly.

"What? She never won?"

Ye Mo was slightly surprised; the Heavenly Snare Blood Lady had a significant impact on him. Even if she wasn’t the strongest on the continent, her reputation was enormous, not inferior to the three ancient Divine Venerates. Yet, she lost to Li Hun.

"Yes, because the weapon in Li Hun’s hand is the second-ranked of the seven Ancient Evil Weapons, the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword. The Blood Lady lost to him because the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear couldn’t match the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword."

Hong Ling said calmly.

One could say the Blood Lady lost to Li Hun, or rather, that the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear lost to the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword.

Ye Mo also knew the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear was ranked third, above the Blood Fiend Saber.

"Hong Ling, don’t worry. I’ll make the na of the Heavenly Snare Blood Spear echo across the entire continent. I’ll grow stronger with you."

Ye Mo said earnestly.

This was a promise he made to Hong Ling.

Both weapons, at their peak, were Middle-grade Immortal Artifacts, while the four beneath them were all Lower-grade Immortal Artifacts.

Of course, the Lingwu Continent had more than just these Immortal Artifacts. Still, their fa paled compared to these seven, leaving them unnoticed.

"Don’t say such sentintal things; I’ve planned to stay with you my entire life."

Hong Ling said.

"So, how did such a powerful person like Li Hun die?"

Ye Mo continued to ask curiously.

"Only a Divine Venerate could kill Li Hun. Li Hun had a hundred wives and wanted to marry the Blood Lady, too. Wait, a hundred wives?"

Hong Ling recalled the hundred stone coffins in the outer tomb.

"It seems Li Hun was fatally injured, knowing he was dying, and built this tomb, taking his hundred wives along for the grave."

Ye Mo speculated.

"Since he was buried with them, his Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword should be here too."

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up as he searched around but couldn’t find the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword. Instead, beside the nearby corpse, he found a blood-stained letter.

Ye Mo opened the blood letter, reading the huge characters painted with blood.

"I am Liu Xinghai, Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Society. I discovered a mysterious tomb in the Southern Spirit Sea Domain and realized it belonged to the strong practitioner, Li Hun. I found the second of the seven Ancient Evil Weapons, the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword, in his tomb and was ecstatic, only to be ambushed by the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sect. My Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword was taken, but I severely injured him, and he will need ten years of seclusion to recover, while I succumbed to my injuries and perished here. If a strong practitioner finds this, I hope they can save the Heavenly Sword Society from peril."

Upon reading this, Ye Mo sighed deeply.

"So he was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Society. Perhaps not even the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Society or Liu Qingtai know her father is already dead."

If the disciples knew this, it would cause chaos. Whether it was Du Feng or so of the teachers and Elders of the Heavenly Sword Society, they might fight for the Sect Master position.

"Since Liu Xinghai is dead, why hasn’t the Divine Wind Sect attacked the Heavenly Sword Society?"

Ye Mo furrowed his brow slightly.

"Isn’t it obvious? The Divine Wind Sect Master likely doesn’t know Liu Xinghai is dead, and the letter ntioned he was severely injured, needing ten years of seclusion to heal."

The little girl said.

"Ten years? Senior Sister Qingtai ntioned her father also secluded for ten years, aning the Divine Wind Sect Master might soon co out, and the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword will appear with him."

Ye Mo speculated internally.

If the Divine Wind Sect Master truly breaks through, he might co wielding the Hei Hun Zhan Gui Sword, intending to destroy the Heavenly Sword Society.

However, Nanling has three Third-rate Forces; besides the Heavenly Sword Society and the Divine Wind Sect, there’s the Chui Xue Sect, rumored to be composed entirely of won. The three Third-rate Forces have ford a tripartite stand in Nanling. Even if the Divine Wind Sect wants to destroy the Heavenly Sword Society, they must consider their options, as there are plenty of masters in the Heavenly Sword Society.

"Keep reading; let’s see what else is ntioned."

The little girl said, and Ye Mo continued reading the blood letter.

"The Heavenly Sword Society doesn’t know I’m dead. Chief disciple Du Feng always harbored ulterior motives. If soone with fate finds this, please go to the Heavenly Sword Society and help my little girl protect it."

"I possess a Top-grade Celestial Weapon nad Star Sea Sword, embodying the identity of the Sect Master. Ordinary people cannot wield this Star Sea Sword; only those who have cultivated the Star Sea Technique can. If you can give it to my little girl, she will surely reward you handsoly."

After reading everything, Ye Mo sighed slightly. Liu Xinghai, even in death, worried about his daughter. If it weren’t for Hsiao Hai’s antics, sending him here on a mission, he wouldn’t have discovered this tomb or Liu Xinghai.

"If you knew your daughter almost fell prey to treacherous people, I wonder how you’d feel. Considering your daughter helped once, I’ll lend a hand."

Ye Mo said, then searched Liu Xinghai’s body, finding a sky-blue Longsword by his left hand, its blade shimring with the blue of the Star Sea, hypnotizing anyone who glanced at it.

"Alright, then let’s head back."

Ye Mo had no intention of disturbing the two corpses. He took the blood letter and left the tomb, surfacing and flying toward the Heavenly Sword Society.

Soon, the Heavenly Sword Society ca into view.

"Here we are!"

Ye Mo accelerated, swiftly entering the academy, intending to find Liu Qingtai and tell her about her father. Even if he had to force his way in, he must get through; if tomorrow’s duel started, the Heavenly Sword Society would completely fall under Du’s control.
