The Ancient Underworld and the Ancient Heavenly Court
The Ancient Underworld and the Ancient Heavenly Court
Qin Yu could not help being slightly startled. He looked at the black void that was slowly disappearing in front of him and quickly recognized this technique. It was none other than Xiao Sheng's Rashomon!
Soon, Xiao Sheng, who was dressed in a long robe with long hair, walked over from a short distance away.
His steps were quite slow, and the internal qi on his body was not particularly powerful. It was impossible to tell that he was a top-notch cultivator.
"Meddling in other people's business?" The young man said with a cold expression .
Xiao Sheng did not say anything. He walked to Qin Yu's side and stopped.
"You... Why are you here?" Qin Yu could not help his surprise at Xiao Sheng's appearance.
Xiao Sheng did not say anything. He just looked at the two people opposite him.
"What do you mean by this, sir?" the old man asked.
Xiao Sheng smiled lightly and replied, "To save someone."
"Save someone ? Do you know who we are?" The old man said with a cold expression.
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "No matter who you are, this is Nanzhou."
"What? Do you think that Nanzhou is your territory?" The young man said with palpable anger.
Xiao Sheng put his hands behind his back and continued, "You can say that."
"I think you want to die!"
The young man shouted as he charged straight at Xiao Sheng!
Xiao Sheng was unhurried as he raised his hand to meet the attack.
Boom!
A terrifying airwave spread out in an instant. The young man was actually forced back a few steps by Xiao Sheng!
The old man's expression became even colder. He looked at Xiao Sheng in front of him and said, "Sir, do you really want to make us your enemy? Have you considered the consequences?"
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "I am definitely saving him. You can try if you like."
"You!" The young man gritted his teeth, but he did not act impulsively. He only smirked as he said, "You will regret what you did today."
"Perhaps." Xiao Sheng was not flustered in the least.
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "You will definitely pay the price for going against us today."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yu and sneered, "I'll let you keep the thing for me for the time being. We will get them back. See you later."
After saying that, both men turned around and left. They acted very decisively without wasting another second.
After they left, Qin Yu looked at Xiao Sheng and said, "Thank you."
Xiao Sheng shook his head and didn't say anything else.
Qin Yu said worriedly, "These two did not appear to be from Nanzhou. I'm afraid they have some background behind them. You..."
Qin Yu didn't finish his words, but his intention was very obvious.
If they took revenge on Xiao Sheng, it would probably be a disaster.
"No worries, don't think so much," Xiao Sheng replied.
Qin Yu smiled bitterly. He cupped his hands to Xiao Sheng and said, "I will never forget the favor of saving my life."
Xiao Sheng glanced at Qin Yu and smiled without saying a word.
He raised his hand and patted gently on Qin Yu's shoulder. Then, he turned around and left.
Looking at Xiao Sheng's back as he left, Qin Yu had mixed feelings.
Xiao Sheng was truly an odd man. No one could figure out what he was thinking.
I hope they won't come too early, Qin Yu thought to himself.
Qin Yu didn't dare to linger any longer and hurriedly turned around to leave himself.
He planned to find a place to study the connection between this token and the Venerable Fifth Mountain.
...
Meanwhile, in North Plain.
The dead river became narrower and narrower. It was more than a hundred feet wide at the beginning, but now it was only a few dozen meters.
The speed of change was too fast, making it impossible for people not to worry.
Sima Bei and He Teng stood on the edge of the dead river and quietly looking at the other side.
"With this speed, the dead river will disappear in no time,"Sima Bei said quietly.
He Teng, who was next to him, said nonchalantly, "Now that you have already stepped into the Reversion Void Stage, I want to conquer Nanzhou, and there was not even the need for the master to get involved."
Sima Bei 's expression altered slightly. He glanced at He Teng and said, "I will not make a move against Xiao Sheng."
"Why? Are you afraid of him? You are now at the Reversion Void Stage, you know," He Teng smiled faintly.
Sima Bei said nothing. Naturally he had the thought of challenging Xiao Sheng.
Even when he first stepped into the Reversion Void Stage, his first thought was to go to fight Xiao Sheng.
But when he heard about Zhao Jing's defeat by Xiao Sheng, that thought immediately disappeared without a trace.
"How is Yong Ji now?" At this time, Sima Bei suddenly changed the topic.
He Teng smiled and replied, "Yong Ji is, after all, once the top cultivator in Nanzhou; his talent needs no further description. Besides, he works extremely hard. I think it won't be long before he can step into the Reversion Void Stage."
Sima Bei did not speak, but the expression on his face was somewhat strange.
He Teng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and immediately added, "You plan to let Yong Ji take action?"
"Indeed," Sima Bei did not hide his thoughts.
"Hasn't he always wanted to prove himself? I will give him this opportunity to do just that."
After saying this, Sima Bei turned around to leave.
He Teng, however, was laughing inside, and no one knew exactly what he was thinking.
...
Qin Yu found an inn and temporarily settled there.
He pointed with his finger, and a ray of light fell on the door, which sealed the room completely.
After that, Qin Yu took out the Shen Tu token from the Spatial Magic Artifact.
At this moment, the token was extremely quiet, but it was indeed emitting a strong dark energy.
Qin Yu sniffed it real hard. The purity of this dark energy was something that Qin Yu had never encountered before.
"Could it be that the ancient underworld really exists?" Qin Yu couldn't help but frowned.
There were many legends regarding Shen Tu on earth, but the timing didn't match at all.
Shen Tu was just a figure from a few thousand years ago, but this Shen Tu token probably had a history of tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years.
Following that, Qin Yu took out the Venerable Fifth Mountain.
He placed the Venerable Fifth Mountain and the Shen Tu token together, and in an instant, both the token and the Venerable Fifth Mountain began to emit light.
The two streams of light interweaved, as if forming some kind of connection, and it seemed as if they were going to be resurrected on their own!
Qin Yu was instantly shaken to his core. He sat on the side, not daring to move, quietly watching the interaction between the two.
But this light continued for a long time, with no intention to proceed to the next step.
"What's going on?" Qin Yu frowned slightly. He wanted to find a connection between them, but he had no clue whatsoever.
Qin Yu tried to activate the token, but unfortunately, it had no effect.
"This Shen Tu token... how should I activate it? Why does that young man want this token so badly?" Qin Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a long time.
"Could it be... that this token is the key to the ancient underworld?" A bold idea suddenly popped up in Qin Yu's mind!
This was because the Venerable Fifth Mountain itself was related to the underworld, and the Shen Tu token could be connected to it. This made him highly suspicious!
This was just Qin Yu's guess, but he was sure that the ancient underworld truly existed!
As for where it was, no one knew.
"If the ancient underworld exists, then what about the ancient Heavenly Court? Could it be true as well?" Qin Yu couldn't help but startled by this train of thought. All sorts of rumors he had heard on Earth and what the Heavenly Court should look like quickly appeared in his mind.
