Ye Qiu still did not know that Li Jian’s death had already alarmed the Taichu Holy Lord. Moreover, Li Jian’s master was currently rushing towards the Dragon Burial Nest.
He and Chang Mei Zhenren continued walking deeper into the cave.
The cave was very large and pitch black, but for cultivators of their level, it did not affect their vision at all.
Chang Mei Zhenren said, “Little brat, this cave must have existed for a very long time. Look at the cave walls. They are covered with a thick layer of moss.”
Ye Qiu replied irritably, “Isn’t that obvious? The burial place of the Dragon Emperor must have gone through countless ages.”
Chang Mei Zhenren said, “We should speed up. We do not want others to snatch the Dragon Emperor inheritance first.”
“No rush,” Ye Qiu said. “Those divine sons are all here for the Dragon Emperor inheritance. Once they find it, they will definitely fight each other to the death.”
“We do not need to hurry.”
“When they have fought each other to the brink of death, we will step in and clean up the mess.”
When Chang Mei Zhenren heard this, he slowed his pace and asked, “Little brat, how about we stop here and eat something?”
“Are you hungry?” Ye Qiu asked.
“Not hungry,” Chang Mei Zhenren said with a sly smile. “I just feel like drinking a bit. Last time we looted so much Qingfeng Dew, and I have hardly drunk any. Little brat, do you want to try some?”
Ye Qiu reminded him, “The important matter comes first. Do not indulge in drinking.”
“Fine, I will listen to you,” Chang Mei Zhenren said. His eyes darted around as he added, “Little brat, since I am being so obedient, when we get more treasures later, you have to give me some.”
“Greedy and never satisfied,” Ye Qiu cursed. He ignored Chang Mei Zhenren and continued walking forward.
Chang Mei Zhenren followed behind, muttering, “Who would ever complain about having too many treasures?”
As they walked.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu stopped in his tracks.
“What is it?” Chang Mei Zhenren asked.
“There are people ahead,” Ye Qiu said. He stared forward with deep eyes and then smiled. “I did not expect it to be him!”
“Who is it?” Chang Mei Zhenren looked ahead. The area in front was pitch black, and he could not see any figure. “Where are the people? Why can I not see them?”
“You will know in a moment,” Ye Qiu said as he quickened his pace.
Chang Mei Zhenren followed closely behind Ye Qiu. He hunched his back and lowered his head, looking exactly like a servant.
They did not walk far.
A group of people appeared in Chang Mei Zhenren’s line of sight.
“It is people from the Chaos Holy Land!”
The disciples of the Chaos Holy Land were sitting in a circle on the ground, roasting fish over a fire.
Wu Qinghao sat to one side with his eyes closed, resting.
Chang Mei Zhenren was not surprised but delighted. He said, “Damn it. He was so arrogant outside, and now we meet him so soon.”
“Strange. Aren’t the people from the Chaos Holy Land here for the Dragon Emperor inheritance?”
“Why do they have the leisure to roast fish here?”
Ye Qiu said, “If I guessed correctly, Wu Qinghao is thinking the same as me. He plans to wait until Qi Tian and the others have fought each other to near death before making his move to seize the inheritance.”
“Otherwise, Wu Qinghao would have no chance of obtaining the Dragon Emperor inheritance.”
“This fellow is quite cunning.”
Chang Mei Zhenren said, “That bastard Wu Qinghao is extremely arrogant.”
“Little brat, later you hold Wu Qinghao down for me. I want to smash his head.”
“However, Wu Qinghao is not like Li Jian. He is not suffering from severe vital energy damage. Killing him will probably take some effort.”
Chang Mei Zhenren reminded Ye Qiu, “Little brat, be careful. Do not act rashly without absolute certainty of victory.”
“What, are you scared?” Ye Qiu laughed.
“Scared?” Chang Mei Zhenren looked disdainful and said, “With you by my side, even if the King of Heaven himself comes, I would not be afraid.”
Ye Qiu chuckled.
The two continued walking forward for a short distance.
“Who is there?”
Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out.
Immediately after, the disciples of the Chaos Holy Land who were sitting on the ground roasting fish all turned their heads and looked into the darkness.
Ye Qiu and Chang Mei Zhenren walked out.
“Swish!”
In an instant, the disciples of the Chaos Holy Land jumped up from the ground. They looked at Ye Qiu and Chang Mei Zhenren in terror and shouted, “Are you humans or ghosts?”
Before Ye Qiu could speak, Chang Mei Zhenren started acting like a zombie. He hopped forward two steps and said in a low, eerie voice, “You harmed me. I have come to claim your lives…”
“Ghosts!” The disciples of the Chaos Holy Land quickly hid behind Wu Qinghao. Two of the more timid ones even fell over in fright.
Ye Qiu saw their reactions and felt contempt in his heart.
Bloody hell, a group of cultivators with such small courage. They are not afraid of being laughed at by others.
Only then did Wu Qinghao lift his eyes and look in this direction. When he saw Chang Mei Zhenren and Ye Qiu, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“You harmed me. I have come to claim your lives…” Chang Mei Zhenren hopped forward another step.
“If you dare to pretend to be a ghost again, I will kill you immediately,” Wu Qinghao said coldly.
Hearing this, one disciple from the Chaos Holy Land asked, “Divine Son, are they not ghosts?”
Wu Qinghao cursed, “A bunch of idiots. You cannot even tell if they are humans or ghosts. If this gets out, it will disgrace our Chaos Holy Land.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Chaos Holy Land blushed with shame. They all pointed at Chang Mei Zhenren and Ye Qiu and started cursing.
“You two bastards actually pretended to be ghosts!”
“How dare you scare us? Believe me or not, we will kill you two right now?”
“You really have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard!”
“…”
At this moment, Wu Qinghao’s voice rang out again. “I did not expect you two to still be alive. It really is surprising.”
Ye Qiu said, “Everyone else has gone to look for the Dragon Emperor inheritance, yet you are still here. I find that surprising too.”
Wu Qinghao smiled and said, “What is so surprising about that? This Divine Son is tired and needs to rest here for a while.”
Who are you trying to fool?
Ye Qiu sneered in his heart.
Wu Qinghao changed the subject and asked, “You two clearly performed the sacrifice. How are you still alive?”
Ye Qiu said, “I do not think I have any obligation to tell you that.”
A cold light flashed in Wu Qinghao’s eyes. Then he stood up and said, “Brother Long, earlier outside there was a little misunderstanding between us. I hope you will not take it to heart.”
“How about this? I will give you a spirit pill.”
“Consider it my apology to you.”
After Wu Qinghao finished speaking, he took out a spirit pill and offered it to Ye Qiu.
Heaven-grade mid-tier!
Ye Qiu recognised the grade of the spirit pill at a glance. He thought to himself, “Wu Qinghao is so cunning, yet he is giving me a heaven-grade mid-tier spirit pill. There must be a scheme behind this!”
“However, since he has already taken it out, how could I not accept it?”
“No matter what scheme he has, I have heterogeneous fire with me. There is no need to fear.”
Ye Qiu raised his vigilance inwardly and reached out to take the spirit pill.
“Since Brother Wu is so generous, I will accept it respectfully.”
Ye Qiu reached out. Just as he was about to grasp the spirit pill, Wu Qinghao suddenly withdrew it. His palm flipped, and he swiftly grabbed Ye Qiu’s wrist.
