Chapter 1815: Leave or Die!

Whoosh!

Just as a sound of wind-breaking reached his ears, Xue Qi, who was supposed to be suffering from the poison according to Yun Xiao’s expectations, suddenly dashed towards the exit of the Murong Tomb.

The sudden and unexpected change caught Yun Xiao unprepared, let alone the other cultivators who were merely bystanders. They were all dumbfounded.

Today’s battle was truly full of twists and turns. The young man in coarse clothes, Yun Xiao, had successively slain the elders of the Murong City Emperor Palace, even killing the chief Tan Qizong.

Who would have thought that at such a moment, another super genius from the Canglong Emperor Palace Headquarters would appear? A formidable practitioner in the Holy Vein Hua Xuan Realm, surely he couldn’t be defeated by that kid, right?

Yet this genius from the Canglong Emperor Palace Headquarters was ultimately toyed with by Yun Xiao in a bizarre way. Such Poison Meridian Skill was truly dreadful and terrifying.

No one knew how any of this happened, but the fact was that Xue Qi was poisoned by Yun Xiao and almost lost his life. However, at this moment, another unforeseen change occurred.

The talent from the Canglong Emperor Palace, who was on the verge of being crippled by the poison, inexplicably gathered strength and swiftly escaped from the danger zone.

Watching that graceful silhouette turn into a thin line and disappear in the distance, many felt a sense of unfinished expectation, as if watching a grand drama that had ended without closure.

Yun Xiao’s expression was naturally not any better. A situation that was supposed to be completely under control was unexpectedly broken. Clearly, he had once again missed the chance to kill Xue Qi.

"The energy that exploded from within her body just now seemed somewhat like the Emperor Dragon Qi!"

But since he could no longer catch up, Yun Xiao decided not to make futile efforts. After pondering for a moment, he recalled the obscure sensing from earlier and became thoughtful.

"It seems that the Emperor and Empress of Canglong really do dote on this traitor from the Hidden Dragon Continent!"

Understanding the crux of the matter, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but flash a cold smile, thinking to himself how Xue Qi was indeed formidable, earning the favor of Emperor Canglong and Lu Qinwan as a forsaken daughter of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

With Yun Xiao’s past experience and his relationship with Emperor Canglong, he naturally knew what the so-called Emperor Dragon Qi was. It was an exclusive mutant energy belonging to Emperor Canglong.

Combined with the aura of the Canglong at the Canglong Emperor Palace, Emperor Canglong could become the overlord of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, partly due to the unique Emperor Dragon Qi cultivated within him.

Such Emperor Dragon Qi was even considered fundamental to Emperor Canglong. Even losing a small part might take years or possibly decades to recover.

From this, it could be seen how much Emperor Canglong cherished Xue Qi, even at the cost of consuming his own Emperor Dragon Qi to help Xue Qi achieve some creation, and also saving Xue Qi’s life at this very moment.

Given Yun Xiao’s intelligence, he naturally realized that Xue Qi’s successful breakthrough to the Holy Rank Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage within a year or two was most likely owing to that trace of Emperor Dragon Qi.

These thoughts flashed through Yun Xiao’s mind, yet he didn’t dwell on them since he knew there was no use in doing so now, especially since he couldn’t directly chase after Xue Qi and kill her at this moment.

Despite this battle, even though Xue Qi had already broken through to the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, Yun Xiao didn’t have much apprehension towards her, not to mention he still had many cards left unplayed.

Therefore, in the next moment, Yun Xiao’s gaze returned to the small plaza where an elderly figure sat cross-legged, staring at him intently.

"Now, do you believe me?"

Yun Xiao’s face also broke into a smile, then he saw Murong Sou brush his hand across his waist, where a cold gleam appeared, and swiftly flew towards him.

With Yun Xiao’s sharp eye, he could naturally see that it was a Waist Storage imbued with the Water Attribute. Upon witnessing this scene, he couldn’t help but feel both surprised and delighted, thinking that this journey to the Murong Tomb, despite its dangers, was indeed worthwhile.

"So it really is those things!"

Receiving the Waist Storage, Yun Xiao immediately infused it with Meridian Qi to explore, and moments later, a look of elation appeared on his face. He thought to himself that many of the items he had given to Xu Tongshi in his previous life were indeed inside this Waist Storage.

Among these, there were even several Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of Holy Rank Low Level, which Xu Tongshi knew he couldn’t refine until he broke through to the Holy Vein Three Realms.

Xu Tongshi was aware that the Canglong Emperor Palace had been searching for him, and perhaps one day his identity would be exposed. By then, these items might all become insecure.

By sheer chance, Xu Tongshi encountered Murong Sou in Drunken Immortal City. Having followed the Long Xiao Battle God to Murong Family several times, he naturally knew this top expert of the Murong Family.

Thus, Xu Tongshi entrusted those items to Murong Sou, who, though not particularly interested in them, thought about the common enmity they all had towards the Canglong Emperor Palace, and thus accepted them without hesitation.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Xu Tongshi dared not refine are now extremely suitable for Yun Xiao, who believes that as long as he can refine a few of them, breaking through to the Heavenly Realm Peak won’t be difficult.

Reaching the Half-step Holy Rank might also be possible, but all this may only be achieved after refining the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; it’s not something that happens overnight.

"Everyone, there are no treasures in the Murong Tomb, you should leave!"

After securing the Waist Storage, Yun Xiao suddenly turned and addressed the many cultivators, his tone carrying an indescribable sentiment.

Upon hearing Yun Xiao’s words, many had a subtle change in expression. Was he trying to drive them away? But they hadn’t even explored the depths of the Murong Tomb yet.

"Leave or die!"

Yun Xiao wasn’t a person with a gentle temper. Kind words hadn’t persuaded anyone, and in an instant, his face turned dark as he uttered these four words, causing everyone to shiver.

If this had happened a day before, when Yun Xiao hadn’t yet displayed his skills, his words would have only drawn ridicule and mockery.

But now, all the elders of the Emperor Palace were killed by him, including Chief Tan Qigong, and even the genius from Canglong Emperor Palace Headquarters at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage fled in disarray under Yun Xiao’s overwhelming power.

Such a terrifying young man, saying these words now leaves no room for disbelief that he might start a massacre. Joking aside, if he fears not even Canglong Emperor Palace, how could he care about these small fry?

Given the overwhelming power of the situation, after weighing things internally, everyone could only turn sulkily and leave. As for the treasures in the depths of the Murong Tomb, even if they could be found, one would have to be alive to enjoy them.

Moreover, on their way here, many people had entered the Spirit Hall, only to be shot dead by the Unfeathered Arrow or buried alive after disturbing the skeletons, leaving nothing worthwhile to be gained.

Some were secretly cursing, thinking the Murong Tomb had such a reputation, but inside it turned out to be nothing but some worthless scrap iron pieces, just playing with people!

In a flash, only two living persons remained around the plaza. As Yun Xiao turned to gaze at Murong Sou, their eyes filled with a peculiar emotion.

"Who are you really?"

Murong Sou admired this roughly dressed young man immensely but couldn’t help asking now, perhaps harboring a suspicion in his heart.

"Are you a descendant of the Nangong, Ouyang, or Situ families?"

Murong Sou hadn’t voiced this question, but on this Hidden Dragon Continent, possessing such talent and such hatred towards Canglong Emperor Palace, it could only be the remnants of the Four Great Families.

"You can consider me the heir of Long Xiao Battle God!"

Upon hearing Murong Sou’s inquiry, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed brightly. He didn’t want to reveal his greatest secret, so he chose to express his identity in this way.

In truth, Yun Xiao wasn’t wrong to say this, albeit with slight deviation from the facts. After all, the soul rebirth was too bizarre; even if spoken, no one might believe it.

But being the heir of Long Xiao Battle God provided many explanations; one could say they were the disciple taken inadvertently by Long Xiao Battle God, or a fortunate person who received the hidden inheritance from somewhere.

Thus, even if Yun Xiao later knew many things about Long Xiao Battle God, there would be an explanation. Little did they know, saying this almost shocked Murong Sou enough to leap out from the plaza.

"Long Xiao Battle God? Didn’t he have only Xu Tongshi as a disciple?"

This was Murong Sou’s biggest question. Throughout Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, it was known that Long Xiao Battle God didn’t take disciples; Xu Tongshi was a special exception.

If not for Long Xiao Battle God agreeing with Xu Tongshi’s father back then, how could he take someone with such dull talent as his disciple?

At that time, countless extraordinary geniuses wished to apprentice under Long Xiao Battle God, but were unable, and when the news came that Xu Tongshi had been accepted as his disciple, it caused many to beat their chests, wishing they could take his place.

Later, it was proven that Xu Tongshi indeed lacked talent, lingering in the Earth Rank Third Realm for years, truly unworthy of Long Xiao Battle God’s name.

What happened afterward made people all the more sigh; those who longed desperately to enter had a sudden fear, thinking if they were really taken as a direct disciple by Long Xiao Battle God, even their family sect might be uprooted due to entanglement.

Pasts are bygone, and Murong Sou knew well about these old stories, so Yun Xiao’s explanation greatly shocked him.

The space deep within the Murong Tomb suddenly fell into silence, with no sound for a long time.
