Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1109: Xufu Qin Emperor

“We have found him!”

In the depths of the palace, behind a certain red-robed person, there were two blue-eyed cultivators who gave out surprised exclamations.

Between the two of them was a foot-long little bug with wings that were flapping and crying out.

One of them was using spells to suppress and control this bug. The other person was listening to what it was saying.

The bug was fierce and vicious, so there were very few people in the world who were able to deduce what it was saying. Out of 10 million people, there was only one.

“That’s weird, the location it sensed is above...”

“Above? The fake tomb?”

Hanqing was really surprised.

Who knew that when the Qin Emperor Tomb was about to be opened and the 12 Copper Men were about to appear to the world, that Zong Shou and the others had retreated?

“He probably sensed something.”

The red-robed man gave out a weird smile, “This kid has the Book of Eon and can accelerate time. Since he sensed danger, he would probably use the book to prepare some other methods to face us.”

While speaking he looked toward the black-skinned Night Demons and those people whose bodies were just floating there.

One of them laughed coldly, “Our Night Demons have to kill him!”

His tone changed, “However, the Yuan Demon Saint Venerable will be clear about whether or not we will be able to kill Zong Shou. He won’t let us down?”

“Of course!”

That red-robed man nodded his head and retracted that arrogant attitude.

“All of you should know that Zhongxuan belongs to the Taoist Faction and he also obtained the legacy of Xufu the Qi Cultivator?”

The people around knew much about what was going on in the Cloud World and so none of them were surprised by what he said.

“Then, do you all know that before Xufu left, he was restricted by the Qin Emperor.”

That red-robed man said calmly, “10,000 years ago, Xufu was someone who was even more talented than Dragon Shadow. Since Dragon Shadow was able to enter End Realm, then he naturally would be able to do so. However, as long as the restrictions aren’t removed, his life and death are still controlled by others. During these 10,000 years, he hadn’t shown his face.”

Hanqing roughly understood what he meant, “Senior Master Chi is saying that Yinyu came for those 12 Copper Men but Zhongxuan might have come for another reason?”

When that red-robed man heard this, he smiled, “It is rare that you are smart for once.”

Hanqing’s face turned green in unhappiness but he could only suppress it.

The red-robed man had limitless potential and was the second most probable person to become End Realm Saint Venerable after the Blood Saint Demon Lord.

Usually, the Saint Venerables allowed internal battles in the Demon Path but now that they were in danger and their foundations were damaged, they really couldn’t allow such losses of talent.

Wushang Yuan Demon wouldn’t allow any of such internal fighting.

The people around were deep in thought.

“To remove such a restriction needs King Path Energy. However Zhongxuan has always been loyal to Great Shang. He doesn’t look like someone who makes use of his Ruler?”

The red-robed man broke into a laugh, his voice was still really dark, “This is what is good about the Soul Training Spirit Splitting Technique. The soul that is split out, although it is part of himself, it might not have the same personality. Moreover, how would you know that when Zhongxuan is serving Great Shang, if he didn’t have his own selfish reasons? When one dies, the coffin is sealed. We wouldn’t be able to know what he plotted when he was alive.”

That person was stunned and then asked curiously, “What does Zhongxuan’s plan have to do with us killing Zong Shou?”

“Of course it is connected!”

That red-robed man replied expressionless, “It is just two dragons fighting against one another. One is alive and the other is about to die. I am actually looking forward to it...”

Actually, there were other things they could do but there was no need to say it out. That was a last resort. After all, the Ten Thousand Spirit Yuan Body was really rare in the world. Over a few thousand years, the Demon Path had only found one.

Just as he was thinking, a confused expression appeared in his red eyes.

The only thing he felt weird about was what was the reason that person was willing to pay such a high price to kill Zong Shou here?

※※※※

When he entered the main Qin Emperor Tomb once more, the five of them felt that the situation was much different from the day before.

The entire formation was activated and the Spiritual Formations that were destroyed were fixed.

However, maybe because a large amount of its power was focused on the main tomb room, but when they walked about the passageways, it wasn’t as dangerous as the day before.

Strong spiritual energy fluctuations spread forth from the direction of the main room.

Even if they were hundreds of miles away, they could still sense it.

However, Zong Shou was now holding a talisman and was in deep thought.

The talisman was sent by Zhang Huai, carrying a secret message over a thousand miles, forcefully passing through the dragon formation and entering his hands.

Just thinking about it, one knew that Zhang Huai had to have paid a huge price.

Inside it was, apart from his analysis of the situation, Kong Rui’s words.

Looking at the Heaven phenomenons, there would be a tribulation...

Tribulation? Zong Shou’s trip to the Qin Emperor Tomb would be one where he might die?

After which were some words of apologies. Kong Rui was only able to notice it when the thing occurred and he had failed his role.

He even suggested something, that if he retreated it might be a catastrophe but if he headed in, it would be a tribulation.

If he retreated, he might be able to keep his life, but it might cause a calamity.

Great Shang might be the first to be hit, but Great Gan wouldn’t be able to avoid it too.

It would be a problem for the entire world.

If he proceeded, it would be his own tribulation, and he might not be able to stop that catastrophe from occurring.

In other words, it was all his own choice.

Zhang Huai also had the same thoughts, he said that he didn’t know the situation within and couldn’t give him advice. He just relayed to him what his sect had told him.

However, the news might seem useless but it was of great help for him.

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, Xufu, Qin Emperor...

What exactly happened 10,000 years ago when Qin was wiped out?

Could that Qin Emperor really come back to life and rule the world once more?

Was this the storm that the butterfly that shouldn’t have appeared caused? 10,000 years ago, this didn’t happen.

Although the situation was dangerous, knowing all this now was at least better than being caught off guard later on.

He knew where the danger was going to come from, so he knew how to handle it.

First was Shiyue. He didn’t believe that this person hadn’t heard about anything at all. Since he knew, then he definitely wouldn’t sit around and do nothing.

So where was he hiding? He was the only person in the tomb, apart from his allies, who he could be helped by.

However, what should he do now?

He shook his head and stopped his thoughts. He wasn’t good at planning and strategizing. He was best at using brute force.

*They want my life? Then, try to take it! *
