Pingjiang City.
On the surface, everything was quiet.
Except for sending some scouts to pay attention to the movements within the Stone Gate, there were almost no figures around the cemetery. It seemed that they were already scared by what happened last time.
But under the surface, the wind and clouds were surging.
More and more top masters rushed over and hid in Pingjiang City, waiting for the mechanisms to be exhausted before going to seize the treasures.
Qingshan Gate.
Lu Qingshan and Yun Xianque sat in the great hall.
"Miss Yun, how about staying at my Qingshan Gate?" Old Ancestor Qingshan asked gently.
Having escaped from the Ghost Gate Pass, Yun Xianque lost some of her sharpness. She lowered her head slightly to Old Ancestor Qingshan and said, "Thank you, Elder Lu, for not holding past grudges. I also apologize for my disrespect last time. If I had listened to your advice at that time, I'm afraid Uncle Lin would not have ended up like this..."
Speaking of this, Yun Xianque's face darkened and she looked very lost."What's wrong? Is Elder Lin in bad shape?" Old Ancestor Qingshan hurriedly asked.
"Mm!"
Yun Xianque nodded and said, "Although we sent someone to take him back to Wind and Cloud Valley in time, the damage caused by the phantom beast was still beyond expectation. Although he barely survived, Uncle Lin fell from the Martial Venerable Realm to Martial Emperor, and has no chance of further cultivation in this life!"
Lu Qingshan opened and closed his mouth complicatedly, not knowing what to say.
For a Martial Venerable to directly fall to Martial Emperor, it was actually no different from being crippled.
The more he thought about it, the more Old Ancestor Qingshan felt awe towards Yi Feng.
If it hadn't been for the teacher's reminder...
He, Old Ancestor Qingshan, would probably have been in big trouble too!
Although everyone knew that there must be risks in the tomb, Yi Feng's words to him were obviously a reminder that there were risks beyond their limits in the tomb.
And the fact was indeed so.
"Elder Lu, I actually came this time to ask who is so powerful that he could predict the dangers in the tomb beforehand?" After a slight pondering, Yun Xianque asked again.
She had been very curious about the person Elder Lu had mentioned.
"Miss Yun, the teacher has returned to an ordinary life to experience the mundane world, and does not like to be disturbed." Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "So I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
"Alright, alright!"
Yun Xianque nodded disappointedly.
"At the same time, I also advise Miss Yun not to investigate the teacher privately. Although I know Wind and Cloud Valley is very powerful, if you incur the teacher's displeasure, I'm afraid Wind and Cloud Valley won't have the ability to withstand the teacher's wrath!" Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and warned solemnly again.
Yun Xianque was not angry, but very surprised.
It seemed that the person Elder Lu was talking about was even more powerful than she had imagined!
Otherwise, Lu Qingshan, as a half-Saint master, would not have said such words.
She nodded.
Since Lu Qingshan was unwilling to say more, she did not ask further, but changed the subject and said, "Elder Lu, the other two Martial Venerables of my Wind and Cloud Valley are on their way here. The purpose is to obtain the holy objects and other resources. Now that the dangers in the tomb have passed, we just need to compete with other forces. So I invite you again to ally with me and Wind and Cloud Valley. What do you think?"
"After all, you must have also heard that in addition to the holy objects, there are many other resources on the altar in the main hall. This should be very important for your Qingshan Gate, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan fell into thought.
To be honest, he was really moved.
Because the danger had indeed passed, and the teacher's words had come true. This also meant that there should be no great danger left in the tomb.
However, he did not immediately agree, but thought about it and said, "How about this, Miss Yun. Anyway, there is still some time before the exhaustion of the mechanisms in the tomb. No one will be able to take the lead before that, so allow me to think about it for a day or two before making a decision?"
"Alright, I'll wait for your message."
Yun Xianque got up and left.
"Should I go or not?"
After Yun Xianque left, Lu Qingshan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before deciding to go ask the teacher.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host, your calligraphy has reached the level of comparing with the divine!"
In the martial arts hall, Yi Feng put down the brush in his hand and heard the voice in his mind. He showed a satisfied smile.
Among the four skills of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, except for chess, the other three had finally reached the level of comparing with the divine!
As long as he could also improve his chess skill to comparing with the divine, this mission of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting would be considered complete.
Of course.
He was completing the missions only to avoid having the martial arts hall recalled, not that he had the slightest expectation for the rewards at all.
Mount?
Humph!
Let alone expecting it, it even gave him a bit of a headache.
Because one annoying skeleton was already almost too much, if there was another similar one, who knows when he might get a heart attack.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan's voice came from outside the door.
He saw Lu Qingshan carrying several jars of fine wine, seemingly even better than last time.
"You old man, just come as you want, and even bring things." Yi Feng said with a smile, but his hands quickly took over the several jars of good wine.
"How can the teacher say that? These are all what I should do. And I have to thank the teacher for the reminder last time." Lu Qingshan said gratefully.
"What reminder last time?" Yi Feng was a little confused.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan was shocked. The Tomb of the Martial Saint, the teacher didn't even have it in mind at all!
So he explained, "It's about the ancient tomb we talked about last time. Just as the teacher predicted, big troubles happened, many people died, and thanks to the teacher's reminder, I didn't go, which saved my life."
"Oh, so it was this matter. As expected."
Yi Feng waved his hand with a laugh. In fact, this was not something that needed thinking at all. How could a cultivator's tomb not have any dangers!
Seeing Yi Feng's nonchalant manner, Lu Qingshan showed admiration.
Perhaps only the teacher could say it so calmly.
"Uh... Teacher, actually I came this time to ask about the tomb again. Since the dangers in the tomb have already occurred, would there be no great dangers if one enters again?" Old Ancestor Qingshan asked again.
"You still want to go in?"
Yi Feng looked at him in surprise.
Old Ancestor Qingshan nodded embarrassedly.
After all, according to the news Yun Xianque had brought, in addition to the holy objects, there were also many herbs and cultivation methods in the tomb. Although they might not be of much use to him, Old Ancestor Qingshan, they were indispensable for the development of a sect.
"Ai, you..."
Seeing that Old Ancestor Qingshan really intended to do so, Yi Feng shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Yi Feng sigh, Old Ancestor Qingshan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What does the teacher's sigh mean?"
