Chapter 1671: Chapter 1703: Giant Spirit Clan Corpse
On the Lei Family warship, swirls of gray mist arose, obscuring what was happening inside.
Yet, the mist vanished within seconds, and upon the scene clearing, the twenty or so cultivators on the deck had all had their throats slit, not a single exception, and Wu Dazhuang had unknowingly returned to the Qin Family warship.
The faces of Qin Bai and the others turned ashen, too afraid to speak; only now did they finally understand why Qin Shuang insisted on docking the ship over.
These four were masters, and their methods were so sophisticated that they left everyone bewildered. Had the big sister not pointed it out, they might have still been in the dark, thinking these were just some lucky underlings.
Recalling their earlier taunting words towards Li Xiaobai and his group, they felt a bit flustered, for if truly faulted, they might not survive to walk out of the Secret Realm.
“Slaying a bunch of insignificant beings hardly brings any joy to us.”
“Young Miss, we should go seek treasures, to have some gains sooner.”
Wu Zhi and his group showed impatience, intending to take this chance to see Li Xiaobai’s methods, but found nothing; the opponent could resist everything with just their physical body, leaving them unable to fathom this inscrutable young man.
“It ought to be so, thank you, gentlemen, for lending a hand. Little did I expect such a young master to come to the Abyssal Domain. Once things are settled, please do come to my residence; a new batch of Enlightenment Tea Leaves has just arrived, perfect to share with you, sirs.”
Qin Shuang smiled softly.
“It’s a deal!”
Wu Tianlong’s eyes lit up as he agreed.
At the side, the familiar voice of Wu Tianlong whispered its way to Li Xiaobai and the other three.
“Plan change: protect this little girl; once out of the Secret Realm, follow her into the Qin Family!”
Wu Tianchou’s voice came too: “We can proceed on two fronts: one marries Qin Xiufang, and another captures Qin Shuang. Thus, both sons-in-law are our people, and this increases our chances of successful assassination.”
Li Xiaobai and Wu Dazhuang nodded subtly; it was indeed a good plan. Once they became honored guests of Qin Shuang, the four of them could move freely within the Qin Family.
“Where did you gentlemen come from? Your skills don’t seem to be those of cultivators from Abyssal City.”
The procession continued as Qin Shuang appeared to make idle chatter, but was actually trying to figure out the origins of the newcomers.
“Just beings from the wild, hardly worth mentioning.”
“Rustics, we heard there was something lively happening in Abyssal City, so we came to see.”
“On another note, why is your family’s young miss suddenly deciding on a martial competition for marriage, attracting even Forbidden Area’s Child, Wang Changsheng, such is her apparent allure.”
“I hardly question my sister’s affairs; she has her considerations with the martial competition for marriage, all I can do is support and give my blessing.”
They laughed and chatted on and off.
After a while, the warship was hindered by a mysterious force, unable to advance further. This force was strong yet gentle, softly keeping the ship at bay like a breeze.
“We’ve reached the treasure vault!”
Qin Shuang showed no panic, for this situation was within her expectations.
“The treasure itself is sentient, floating in the air is seen as provocation.”
“Disembark, let’s walk through!”
“A big haul is up, judging by the aura, it seems to be the remains of a strong figure from the Ancient Battlefield. Qin Tian is bold to leave such things for juniors’ trials, he surely is invested in the Abyssal Domain.”
Wu Tianchou muttered a few words. At his level, a slight sensation allowed him to discern the type of this treasure.
Led by Qin Shuang, they easily bypassed the mysterious force.
The Qin Family had indeed well-informed sources; they must have been thoroughly familiar with the route through this treasure trove.
Minutes later.
The group witnessed the remains of an Ancient Strong Being, a giant wall stretching endlessly.
Li Xiaobai poked the wall, finding it soft and dented.
“This is an arm, the hand’s to the right.”
“An unimaginably horrific war once erupted here!”
“Who is this person, with a body so immense!”
Not only Qin Shuang and the others but even Li Xiaobai and the Wu Clan Clan Leaders were shocked. Such colossal remains, filled with terrifying vitality, it was unimaginable what kind of existence this was in life.
“Does Qin Tian even leave such existences unchecked?”
“The blood of a formidable being shouldn’t be wasted!”
Wu Tianlong’s eyes glimmered with greed as he took out a wine jar and slashed out a blade, intending to draw blood from the corpse.
The body remained unharmed; his attack couldn’t even break the surface.
“Brother Heavenly Dragon, understand this first. This corpse must have had cultivation beyond the Dao Fruit Realm, thinking to breach its defense with a simple strike is too naive.”
Wu Tianchou ridiculed ruthlessly.
“Lend me your space talisman, and I’ll exchange it with a secret technique.”
Wu Tianlong threw over a small booklet and said.
Cultivation Technique is useless to me…
Li Xiaobai almost said, but seeing the bold title on the cover, his thoughts changed immediately.
“Five Hundred Years of Secrets in the Celestial Realm”!
This was a chronicle recording various events that occurred in the Immortal Gods Realm over a millennium. Despite appearing taciturn and unsociable, Wu Tianlong was surprisingly aware of what Li Xiaobai most urgently needed.
Without further ado, he flipped his wrist to take out the Exchange Charm and attached it to Wu Tianlong’s back.
“Brother Heavenly Dragon, I’ll send you into its heart.”
Golden light flickered, and his entire figure disappeared without a trace.
“What skill! No matter how many times I see it, it’s always so perfect and magical!”
Wu Dazhuang couldn’t help but praise. Each time the traces of Dao Rhyme flowed within the talisman were beyond his grasp. The young man’s use of the Power of Laws of Space had reached a whole new height.
“This is Law of Power!”
Qin Shuang and others saw it, astonishment filling their hearts, screaming within that this was the power of Space Law, comprehensible only by cultivators in the Immortal Gods Realm, and its comprehension was even the second-ranked offensive means!
Just like the power of laws wielded by that master five hundred years ago!
What is this young man’s background, among today’s younger generation, the highest cultivation is merely the Four Parts Obversation Realm Great Perfection, how could anyone be at the Immortal Gods Realm?
This was a realm only an Elder of a sect could possess in their cultivation!
“If this expert known as Li Xiaobai is of the Immortal Gods Realm, wouldn’t the other three with him also be…”
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Shuang, no longer daring to think further.
“Sister Qin Shuang, what is the origin of this corpse? I see you are well aware of the external barrier, you must know much.”
Li Xiaobai looked at Qin Shuang with a smile.
“I only heard bits and pieces from the elders in the clan. This corpse belonged to a great being from the Ancient Battlefield, a member of a tribe known as the Giant Spirit Clan. This clan was sparse in number, but born with Divine Power, capable of lifting mountains.”
“Fallen on the battlefield here, who knows what kind of existence could have slain it.”
“This Giant Spirit Clan great being must have treasures on them. You gentlemen possess unfathomable cultivation; why don’t we join forces, and with my information, I implore you gentlemen to seize the treasures?”
