Capítulo 2031: Chapter 2020: Eeriness! Partiality!
In one of the great halls within the tomb, six volus of the Five-Star Secret thod appeared.
As Chen Yuanhua and Wan Gaoyi also arrived inside the hall.
Outside the tomb.
The entrance was still blocked by the barrier set up by Qin Zhou, and cultivators from other Sects were patiently waiting.
Yang Haotian and Su Bingyun, along with others from the Qingyue Sect and Snow Moon Valley, never took their eyes off the entrance for a mont.
People from the Yangs clan on the Profound Continent and those from the Xus were also waiting here!
The siblings of Yang Haotian’s father, Yang Chengzhou, Yang Chengli, Yang Chengkong, and Yang Miaoli, walked to a place not far from Yang Haotian. They looked at Yang Haotian with disdain, having long ceased to regard him as one of the Yangs.
Yang Chengli said indifferently, “Yang Haotian, although the competition of the Heavenly Profound Festival is paused, the combat power of that kid from the Qingyue Sect is indeed not bad. However, the genius Gu Hui from the Gus has not yet shown his true strength! Moreover, you have offended four of the five major forces all at once. Your Qingyue Sect will surely be destroyed, and fortunately, you’re no longer one of us of the Yangs.”
Yang Haotian felt the disdainful gazes from his elders and, upon hearing Yang Chengli’s words, clenched his hand into a fist beneath his sleeve, continually suppressing the fury in his heart.
At the sa ti, Xu Yuanliang and Chang Baiping, this couple, also walked over. They were clearly lackeys of the Gus, Xu Yuanliang unceremoniously said, “Yang Haotian, this is your level of accomplishnt; you’re indeed unworthy of my daughter. Your death is imminent. When the Heavenly Profound Festival resus, the boy from the Qingyue Sect will surely die on the stage. Gu Hui’s strength is sothing that boy cannot compare to.”
Yang Haotian’s father, Yang Chengzhou, could only watch all this unable to intervene, his chest heaving violently.
Unbeknownst to the Yangs and the Xus, the Gu Hui they were referring to had long been dead.
And just when the Yangs and Xus were humiliating Yang Haotian,
Suddenly, a powerful energy surge burst forth from the tomb’s entrance, directly shattering the barrier there, followed by an alluring Spiritual Energy spreading out from the tomb.
When the barrier broke and the Spiritual Energy dispersed, the cultivators present imdiately began to chatter noisily.
“What’s going on? Could it be that a peerless treasure has appeared in the tomb?”
“This refreshing Spiritual Energy surely indicates sothing extraordinary has appeared. Are we just going to wait around here?”
…
As the saying goes, human greed has no bounds.
Upon seeing this change, so cultivators with unstable willpower took the lead. A specific Spirit God realm cultivator whose level was around the fifth tier suddenly dashed into the entrance.
With soone leading the way, other cultivators from the various Sects could not wait anymore. After all, it indeed seed like a treasure had arrived, and they had long discarded Qin Zhou’s words. Previously, they listened to Qin Zhou for three reasons: firstly, because no treasure aura emanated from the entrance; secondly, because of Qin Zhou’s significant identity; and thirdly, because Qin Zhou had set up a barrier at the entrance, they couldn’t enter even if they wanted to.
Crowds competed to hurry into the passageway, and due to insufficient strength, Yang Haotian, Su Bingyun, and others could only get squeezed at the entrance. The Yangs and Xus, with their not-so-strong powers, also did not imdiately rush into the tomb.
However.
After many cultivators squeezed into the tomb,
“Ah! Ah! Ah!—”
A sudden series of horrifying screams echoed from inside the tomb, and the Yangs and Xus, who were about to step in, imdiately withdrew their steps, while Yang Haotian and Su Bingyun, who had wanted to enter, could only continue to wait outside.
Inside the dark corridor of the tomb.
The incoming cultivators unexpectedly burst one after another. Their blood spilled onto the ground and quickly seeped below.
So cultivators, realizing sothing was wrong, attempted to leave, but it was too late; all who entered the tomb were dood to explode and perish.
The vast amounts of blood from these cultivators seeped into the ground, converging in a trough-like duct below, with much of it flowing continuously along the duct to the great hall where Ye Chenfeng and the others were located.
Why didn’t Ye Chenfeng and the others’ bodies explode when they entered the tomb earlier? No one has yet been able to answer this question.
Likewise, Ye Chenfeng and the others were oblivious to what had just happened. Below the floor of the great hall, there was also a duct, but they hadn’t noticed the vast streams of blood flowing beneath them.
At this mont in the great hall.
Not long after Chen Yuanhua and Wan Gaoyi arrived,
Zhou Santong from the Artifact Refinent Pavilion also entered the great hall.
anwhile, a line of golden text appeared in the air: “Six volus of the Five-Star Secret thod; only six can obtain them. Only by killing all others besides these six will the energy surrounding these secret thods dissipate. Should one attempt to forcibly acquire them, the secret thods will self-immolate.”
The aning of this statent was quite clear; only when there were only six people left alive in the great hall would these six volus of the Five-Star Secret thod fall to the ground.
It seems that the tomb’s owner had anticipated that more than six people would reach this place.
Upon seeing these words, Yu Zhiming and others cast their eyes on Ye Chenfeng and his group.
Yu Zhiming, Qin Zhou, Gu Hongwen, Jin Liangpeng, Wan Gaoyi, and Chen Yuanhua were exactly six people; if they could kill Ye Chenfeng, Zhou Santong, Xue Wanqing, Zhao Bo, and Li Bo, wouldn’t Yu Zhiming and his group be able to obtain the six volus of the Five-Star Secret thod?
Noticing the malicious gaze from Yu Zhiming, Zhao Bo, Li Bo, Xue Wanqing, and Zhou Santong imdiately shielded Ye Chenfeng, as his strength appeared to be the weakest.
Zhou Santong’s unwavering action puzzled Yu Zhiming and others, as well as Xue Wanqing’s group. Zhou Santong seed willing to sacrifice his life for Ye Chenfeng.
Qin Zhou, observing the situation, said to Ye Chenfeng, “You all should leave here first! You have already comprehended the ancient painting; let us have the opportunity here!”
Asking Ye Chenfeng and his group to leave would conveniently leave the six of them, allowing them to obtain the Five-Star Secret thods, would it not?
But just as Qin Zhou finished speaking,
Yu Zhiming’s face turned slightly sour. He was constantly yearning to kill Ye Chenfeng and addressed Qin Zhou, “Old Qin, I have a personal grudge against this brat. Please allow to settle it here, and you need not intervene; it’s our personal affair.”
“Old Qin, the words floating in the air make it very clear that we need to kill all but six people. It didn’t ntion letting others leave. If we don’t follow the instructions, we might never obtain the Five-Star Secret thods.”
Gu Hongwen imdiately added, “Exactly, Senior Qin, we must follow the words’ implication. Furthermore, we wish to resolve the feud between us and them; you really don’t need to participate.”
Subsequently, Jin Liangpeng, Wan Gaoyi, and Chen Yuanhua also expressed their thoughts, giving Qin Zhou an out; they speculated that even Qin Zhou couldn’t resist the allure of the Five-Star Secret thods.
After his face changed expressions several tis, Qin Zhou finally said, “Alright! I won’t interfere in your feuds, resolve them yourselves!”
In the end, Qin Zhou failed to resist the Five-Star Secret thods’ allure. He claid he wouldn’t intervene, but by not supporting Ye Chenfeng’s group, he implicitly favored Yu Zhiming and others. Rember, his identity was an Emissary for the Heavenly Profound Festival, and he was truly in charge of the Profound Continent’s Heavenly Profound Festival. Since the festival wasn’t over, watching Yu Zhiming and others take action ant he effectively sided with them.
After hearing Qin Zhou’s words,
Yu Zhiming and company had broad smiles on their faces, while the expressions of Ye Chenfeng, Xue Wanqing, and others tightened slightly. Even if Qin Zhou didn’t join the fight, Yu Zhiming possessed Heavenly God Realm strength, while their side had no Heavenly God Realm experts.
