Chapter 101: The Slaying of the Black Wind Double Evil

Yi An hadn’t expected Qin Shuang to be so stubborn in her decision to follow him. His gaze flickered, and with a sigh, he said, If that’s the case, then you can follow me for the time being.

Upon hearing Yi An’s words, Qin Shuang was overjoyed, her smile blooming as she said, Thank you, Young Master An. ...Actually, the main reason Qin Shuang so earnestly wished to stay by Yi An’s side, besides her own desire, was her father Qin Zheng’s words before his death, Yi An has a boundless future and immense potential. If you can follow him, one day, our Qin Family will surely see its glory restored. No matter what, you must follow him and ensure our family’s resurgence. Remember this, remember this... These words still echoed in her ears,Father, rest assured, your enemies are dead. I will stay by Yi An’s side and one day, I will surely restore our Qin Family’s glory," Qin Shuang silently vowed.

Sister, since you have decided to follow our great benefactor, we, who have shared life and death together, also wish to follow. Great Benefactor, please accept us as well, Qin Lei and the others also knelt and said. At this moment, they were completely convinced by Yi An, especially after witnessing the combat strength he had just displayed; bowing to him was the least they could do.

Knowing that if he agreed to keep Qin Shuang, Qin Lei, and the others would stay as well, Yi An nodded and said, All of you, rise. You are Big Brother Qin’s daughter and disciples; I will not treat you poorly. Now, it’s not suitable to stay here any longer; let’s leave the city. However, I must ask you to bear with some inconvenience for now.

Young Master An, now that we are yours to command, we are willing to endure any hardship, Qin Shuang said. Yi An nodded, not saying much more. With a wave of his sleeve, he enveloped them with Black Water True Qi and transported them into a spatial scroll. The space inside the scroll was vast and separated by arrays, making it difficult for Qin Shuang and the others to notice anything else Yi An had placed inside the spatial scroll.

Yi An was aware that after the battle in Heavenly Capital City, many experts had noticed his presence and recognized his aura. To avoid further trouble, Yi An decided it was best to leave Heavenly Capital City as soon as possible.

Utilizing the Five Elements Escape Technique, Yi An’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot and headed out of the city. He hadn’t expected to leave Heavenly Capital City so soon after his arrival. Once outside the city, Yi An used Black Water True Qi to alter his appearance again. He carefully concealed his Black Water True Qi to the utmost and headed towards the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range.

Not long after Yi An disappeared, several figures appeared at the site where Yi An had just battled with the Black Wind Double Evil. Although these individuals were strangers to each other, they shared an unspoken understanding. They were hidden experts within the city, daring to reveal themselves only after Yi An had left. Observing the remnants of the battle site, these individuals were somewhat taken aback and quickly departed from the area.

Meanwhile, the young man who had been staying in the high tower of the tavern was still there, murmuring to himself, This person is so powerful. If he could join our Luo Xuan Sect’s ‘Wind and Thunder’ group, our power would surely increase significantly. With his help, we might even be able to contend with Luo Kang’s ‘Da Luo Heaven.’

Luo Kang came to the ancient tomb this time as well, huh. The deputy sect master really does play favorites, allocating all the good opportunities within the family. Without his strong support, how could ‘Da Luo Heaven’ have become so powerful among the disciples of the Luo Xuan Sect? Hmph, this time I must stir up more trouble and ensure that the treasures within the ancient tomb don’t fall into Luo Kang and his group’s hands. Hehe, I was worried about how to cause trouble, but now, with that young man just now, the difficulty for Luo Kang to acquire the true teachings from the ancient tomb has significantly increased. Haha.

...As he spoke, the young man grabbed a wine pot, tilted his head back, and emptied the wine in one gulp, then loudly called out, Waiter, bring me your finest wine...

After leaving Heavenly Capital City, Yi An found a small town and released Qin Shuang and the others from the spatial scroll, instructing them to wait for him in the town because he was headed to an ancient tomb in the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range, which was his mission in coming here. Qin Shuang and the others naturally had no objections, as they knew they wouldn’t be of any help to Yi An in the tomb.

After saying goodbye to Qin Shuang and the others, Yi An immediately headed into the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range. Over the next three days, Yi An spent his time in the mountain range cultivating and occasionally spotting groups or individual experts entering the range. The day when the ancient tomb was to open was drawing near.

The arrival of disciples from the Luo Xuan Sect marked the day of the tomb’s opening. Disciples from a sect like Luo Xuan Sect, if they came to the tomb for experience, would surely make a grand entrance. By then, Yi An would easily be able to track their movements without missing the opening of the tomb. Among these people, it turned out that many were discussing Yi An’s slaying of Han Renyi and the Black Wind Double Evil in Heavenly Capital City. This battle had evidently spread far and wide, causing quite a stir around the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range.

Moreover, the stories being told were quite mystical. Some even said that Yi An’s cultivation level had already surpassed that of a Martial Ancestor, making him uninterested in the treasures within the tomb, so they could search for treasure at ease. Others argued that Yi An would not dare to compete with the disciples of the Luo Xuan Sect for the real treasures after the tomb opened, as, brazen as he might be, he would not dare to become an enemy of the whole Luo Xuan Sect.

Furthermore, it was said that among the Luo Xuan Sect, there was a prodigious talent, a young man named Luo Kang. Rumor had it that he was the most outstanding genius in the Luo Family in hundreds of years. While studying at the Luo Xuan Sect, he even established his own vast influence, named Da Luo Men, creating a sect within a sect. His strength and cultivation level were unfathomable. It was said that he had reached the peak of the Warrior Realm by the age of thirteen. Now, Luo Kang was just over twenty years old. What level of cultivation had he achieved by now?

Nobody knows for sure, but it’s believed that his abilities do not fall below those of a Martial Ancestor. Such geniuses are rare across the entire continent. Some say he ranks among the top fifty young masters of the continent. One should never underestimate being in the top fifty; considering the vastness of the continent, its almost boundless lands, and the incalculable number of humans, which easily surpasses several hundred billion. The term countless truly applies here, and among the youth alone, there are close to several billion. Just imagine, being in the top fifty out of several billion people is an incredibly rare feat, akin to being a rare species!

In fact, those who rank within the top two hundred are considered unparalleled geniuses of their generation, destined to become rulers of their own domains and possess the strength to establish their families. In this world, establishing one’s own family requires absolute strength, at least at the level of a Martial Ancestor. If a family only has a Martial Ancestor-level expert as its highest strength, it’s considered a minor family and insignificant.

Take Yi An’s family, the Yi Family, for example. The ancestors who founded the Yi Family were capable of slaying ninth-order demonic beasts, placing them at the level of Martial Saints, or even the legendary and supreme Martial Emperor realm, at the peak among humans. They were figures standing at the pinnacle of the world, legendary characters. However, the Yi Family has declined, and the current family head, Yi Tianxing, only possesses the cultivation of a Martial Ancestor. Frankly speaking, by the standards of the Heavenly Martial Continent, that’s not very impressive. Among true unparalleled experts, a Martial Ancestor’s cultivation level is considered mediocre and far from the top.

However, as far as Yi An knows, there are still formidable individuals hidden within the Yi Family, shrouded in secrecy. For example, the old man guarding the Yi Family’s scripture hall. Yi An wasn’t sure before, but thinking back, he can confidently say that this person’s cultivation far surpasses the current family head, Yi Tianxing, and stands as the true pillar of the Yi Family!

Once one of the supremely prominent great families on the continent, the Yi Family was among them. But now, despite the protection of that hidden elder, the Yi Family can no longer claim dominance over the Heavenly Martial Continent. The changing of the guard, the loss of their former glory, is indeed lamentable. However, this is the cruel reality of the world: without strength, one is doomed to be eliminated. The current Yi Family is vastly different from what it once was, showcasing a stark contrast between heaven and earth.

Yi An, who had never before placed much emphasis on the Yi Family’s glory, found himself harboring ambitious aspirations in his heart. The brilliance of the Yi Family from ten thousand years ago, and the relentless struggle of countless Yi Family disciples, stirred a fervent passion within him whenever he thought about it. In his past life as a demonic young master, he never settled for obscurity. In this life? He aimed to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and restore the former glory of the Yi Family. This idea grew unconsciously within him in the solitude of the mountains, spurred on by the realization that his strength was continuously growing, bringing him ever closer to his grand ambition.

Now, with the year drawing to a close, the forests were a vast expanse of misty green coldness. Yi An had been meditating for a long time on the branches of a large tree when his gaze suddenly shifted towards the northern sky, alerted by the sound of significant activity.

Concealed among the tree branches, his presence masked, Yi An’s appearance was still altered by the Black Water True Qi. Soon, from the horizon, several massive flying beasts appeared, resembling Spirit Vultures, cutting through the distant sky like shooting stars. On the backs of these Spirit Vultures were small wooden structures, designed for rest. Witnessing this spectacle, Yi An knew that the people from the Luo Xuan Sect had arrived.

As expected of a first-rate sect in the continent, the Luo Xuan Sect really knows how to make an entrance, Yi An thought to himself as he watched the colossal Spirit Vultures fly over him. These beasts were fourth-tier flying creatures.

Spirit Vultures, known for their flight and strength, were specially tamed by some of the major sects for the purpose of transporting people. They could serve as a means of transportation, capable of carrying significant weight. It was possible to build rather large houses on their broad backs for people to rest, providing a level of comfort during travel. Only powerful sects or families could afford to tame and use fourth-tier beasts as a mode of transportation, as capturing and taming them was no easy feat.

Yi An, however, was an exception. His Black Water True Qi could directly seal and tame beasts. Currently, he had four impressive beasts sealed within a spatial scroll: three Yellow Springs Demon Elephants and one Water Qilin, all ancient beasts known for their extraordinary vitality. Ancient beasts possess a natural ability to consume qi, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing them to go long periods without food. This contrasts sharply with many of today’s beasts. In ancient times, when there were far fewer species of beasts, nearly every one possessed incredible powers capable of moving mountains and commanding the seas with limitless might.

Chapter 102: Returning to Sleeping Dragon Mountain

Of course, this doesn’t mean that today’s beasts have degenerated. In fact, many of the current beasts remain incredibly powerful but they have lost some of the unique magical abilities that ancient beasts possessed, such as the ability to consume qi. This very ability is what made ancient beasts so rare and valuable.

After the massive Spirit Vultures flew past, Yi An followed in the direction they were heading. Without a doubt, the ancient tomb was about to be opened!

Deep within the vast Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range, at the outskirts of a gorge, those enormous Spirit Vultures descended from the sky amidst the cheers of many people who had been waiting, the most excited among them being members of the Luo Family who had sealed off the mountain. The family head, Luo Xingkong, was notably present among them.

As the Spirit Vultures landed gently, the wooden cabins on their backs opened, and several young men and women emerged, each more handsome or beautiful than the last, their presences dignified and elegant.

Those waiting were dazzled by the sight, especially by a young man around twenty at the forefront. His aura set him apart from the rest; it was a powerful, innate aura that gave him an air of nobility, as if he were above the mundane world. This young man was Luo Kang, the most outstanding genius of the Luo Family and a disciple of the Luo Xuan Sect.

Dressed in a spotless golden robe, Luo Kang exuded an imposing and sharp aura. His eyes sparkled with an intensity that made it difficult for others to meet his gaze directly.

Following right behind Luo Kang was a procession including a young girl with a delicate figure and graceful poise. Her mere glances attracted many eyes. Standing behind Luo Kang, her gaze briefly swept over the crowd, displaying a hint of disdain. As a disciple of the Luo Xuan Sect, she, like her peers, carried herself with a sense of pride and superiority. Apart from a faint smile directed at Luo Xingkong and other members of the Luo Family, she deemed the others unworthy of her attention.

Kang, you’ve finally arrived, Luo Xingkong greeted with a smile. Luo Kang was his son.

Luo Kang, with a subdued expression, nodded and paid his respects to Luo Xingkong. Father, we arrived late, apologies for making you wait. Had it not been for a magical treasure Master bestowed upon me to refine, we might have arrived a few days earlier, he said, then scanned the crowd gathered not far away. These were people eager to enter the ancient tomb in search of treasures. However, in Luo Kang’s eyes, they were barely worth noticing, akin to glancing over weeds.

Haha, no matter when you arrive, it’s alright. We’ve sealed the ancient tomb, and to enter, one must break the seal in front of it. Now that you’re here, go ahead and break the seal, Luo Xingkong said.

This is my junior sister, Xiao Ru, and the rest are my junior brothers and sisters, all from the Great Luo faction within the Luo Xuan Sect. I’ve brought them out this time for some practical experience, Luo Kang introduced to Luo Xingkong.

Xiao Ru and the others nodded to Luo Xingkong, who already knew they were part of the force Luo Kang had established within the Luo Xuan Sect, the Great Luo faction. Essentially, they represented another power base for the Luo Family. He couldn’t help feeling quite pleased with his son, who had managed to establish his own faction within such a prestigious sect at a young age.

At this moment, various groups previously hidden around the outskirts of the forest emerged. They were well aware that the rightful owners of the ancient tomb had arrived. Although they knew snagging real treasures right from under Luo Kang and his people’s noses would be challenging, they all harbored the hope of possibly stumbling upon something valuable by chance. After all, the ancient tomb was vast and rich in hidden treasures. Some items might be overlooked by Luo Kang and his team but could be extremely useful to the majority of them.

The forest was now brimming with people, many of whom had emerged, eagerly awaiting the opening of the ancient tomb.

Among the crowd was, of course, Yi An. He wore a wide-brimmed hat that cast a deep shadow over his face, effectively concealing his identity. In fact, many others had adopted a similar disguise, donning hats and veiling their faces. It was a common practice among those who preferred to remain solitary.

Yi An had acquired his current attire after overpowering a few individuals in the forest who had attempted to ambush him. His eyes glinted as he observed Luo Xingkong, Luo Kang, and their companions in the distance. This time, once the ancient tomb was open, he would prevent the Luo Family from claiming all its treasures for themselves. With him there, Luo Kang and the others could forget about monopolizing the tomb’s riches.

Father, have there been any unruly trespassers during your time guarding the forest? Luo Kang asked, his gaze sharp as it swept over the teeming crowd.

There have been, of course, Luo Xingkong replied. But we’ve killed most of them. Only one managed to escape my clutches, causing quite a scene and killing several Luo clansmen in the process. Luo Xingkong was, of course, referring to Yi An, and the memory still made him grind his teeth in frustration.

Do you have any information on this person, Father? Luo Kang inquired, his eyes flashing with cold determination.

Yes, our people used an Extension Shadow Crystal Stone to capture his image. Here, take a look. Luo Xingkong retrieved a mirror-like object from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Kang. Its surface was polished to a perfect smoothness.

After Luo Kang received it, he gently brushed the smooth surface of the mirror with his sleeve, channeling his true energy into it. An image appeared before him, showing Yi An transformed into a sallow-faced man, how arrogantly he spoke, how he fought with Luo Xingkong, and how he escaped... The scene of Yi An causing trouble there was vividly displayed.

After watching, Luo Kang turned to the young girl behind him and said, What a cunning thief! Junior Sister Xiao, this man dared to challenge the dignity of our Luo Family and even killed many of our people. Use your ‘Insightful Eye’ to scan and see if this man is hiding among these people. Cold murderous intent flickered in Luo Kang’s eyes.

Xiao Ru slightly nodded her head, stepping forward. Her figure then gracefully lifted into the air like a fairy, her dress fluttering. Almost everyone’s gaze was drawn to her, yet Xiao Ru’s eyes emitted a faint purple glow, making her appear exceptionally enchanting. A three-inch radiance shone from her eyes, transforming her fairy-like beauty into something mesmerizingly glamorous.

Xiao Ru’s gaze slowly swept across the crowd. Yi An felt a sudden nervousness in his heart; it seemed as if Xiao Ru’s eyes possessed the power to see through all deceptions and return things to their original state. Indeed, her gaze could see the truth. Yi An remembered reading about people born with extraordinary talents in this world, like the Wind-Hearing Ear with extraordinary hearing, capable of detecting the faintest sounds within a hundred miles, and the Insightful Eye, which could discern the slightest details, see through any disguise, and reveal the truth! That woman, Yi An deduced, must possess the talent of the Insightful Eye, which does not see the physical form but the essence of a person’s life force. Thus, even though Yi An had changed his appearance during his last disruption, avoiding detection by the Insightful Eye would be incredibly difficult.

At that moment, Yi An began to doubt his shape-shifting ability, realizing the formidable nature of the Insightful Eye - a gift from the heavens, not to be underestimated.

While Yi An was pondering, someone suddenly slipped a talisman into his hand from behind. Startled, Yi An turned to see a sallow-faced man smiling at him, saying, Heaven’s Eye may be powerful, but even the heavens have their blind spots. Feeling the faint energy pulsation from the talisman, Yi An experienced a sense of reassurance.

Yi An didn’t know who this man was or why he was helping him, but he understood that the talisman was out of the ordinary. It might even help him evade the Insightful Eye’s scrutiny. Yi An was not intimidated by the prospect of conflict, preferring not to stir up trouble before entering the ancient tomb. Once inside, whether it came to fighting or killing, Yi An would face it fearlessly.

Just as Yi An was looking at the sallow-faced man beside him, he suddenly felt two gazes sweep over him. Here it comes. Unobtrusively, Yi An remained motionless. Floating in the air, Xiao Ru’s gaze indeed locked onto him, lingering for a moment longer than on others. However, those two gazes eventually shifted away from Yi An.

Yi An understood that the talisman in his hand had taken effect. He nodded slightly at the sallow-faced man, who smiled and said, I witnessed your massacre in Heavenly Capital City. With that, he fell silent.

Yi An’s eyes flickered, thinking, It seems like some of my transformation techniques still can’t escape the scrutiny of certain individuals. He could sense that this sallow-faced man had no malicious intent, but Yi An’s nature made him skeptical of free lunches and favors.

Xiao Ru gently floated down, landing beside Luo Kang. She nodded at him, indicating she hadn’t found the person seen in the Extension Shadow Crystal Stone. Luo Kang’s pupils constricted slightly as he calmly said, I refuse to believe that man won’t come to the ancient tomb. Waiting inside might draw him out. When that happens, we must find him and make him suffer the consequences of provoking our Luo Family. In Luo Kang’s mind, the Luo Family’s authority was inviolable, and its dignity was his.

Let’s open the ancient tomb first, Luo Kang said as he waved his sleeve and walked towards the canyon. At the end of the canyon stood two colossal boulders, forming a door-like opening with faint energy fluctuations.

This ancient tomb must have existed for a very long time. The seals on the tomb’s entrance had weakened, revealing these fluctuations, leading to its discovery. However, Yi An had heard from the Yellow Springs Demon Elephant King that he had discovered this ancient tomb much earlier, demonstrating the incredible perception of beings at his level.

Furthermore, the treasures within this ancient tomb held no interest for the Yellow Springs Demon Elephant King. Naturally, as a formidable demonic beast of the eighth or ninth rank, he would have no regard for the relics buried within. Yet, what the Demon Elephant King considered trash was of immense value to Yi An and the others present. Many were even willing to risk their lives for it. Such was the difference in perspectives; beings like the Yellow Springs Demon Elephant King had already transcended the ordinary.

Chapter 103: Luo Kang, Xiao Ru

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luo Kang, Xiao Ru, and the other Luo Xuan Sect disciples, as well as Luo Xingkong and his men, casually walked through the colossal boulders. Evidently, Luo Kang, Xiao Ru, and the others were accustomed to being the center of attention and didn’t bat an eye at the gazes upon them. However, Luo Xingkong and the other Luo Family members put on airs, holding their heads high and arrogant, demonstrating their supposed superiority.

This seal should have been left by a Martial King. Although the seal has been eroded by time, it’s still formidable, Luo Xingkong said to Luo Kang, his gaze fixed on the energy fluctuations between the boulders.

Luo Kang nodded. Junior Sister Xiao, you and I will work together to break this seal. Father, you and the others can wait outside the ancient tomb while we explore.

Hmm, with you and Junior Sister Xiao here, do I need to worry? Haha, go ahead. I’ll wait right here outside the seal, Luo Xingkong said with a chuckle after hearing Luo Kang’s words. He had complete faith in his powerful son and saw no need to risk his own safety by going inside.

Xiao Ru and the others also floated out and formed hand seals. It was clear that this seal wouldn’t be easy to break. Several powerful streams of true energy surged from Xiao Ru and the others, converging and then bursting forth to strike the space between the two boulders. The Luo Xuan Sect disciples made a concerted effort, unleashing an array that combined their attacks, which was far more potent than their individual efforts.

The fierce streams of true energy slammed into the space between the boulders, causing numerous ancient gray runes to flicker into existence. An aura of antiquity spread out along with waves of energy, affecting the surroundings within a radius of several hundred meters, distorting the space itself. The backlash from the seal was incredibly strong!

Xiao Ru and the others couldn’t help but retreat, but they quickly changed their hand seals and unleashed another round of powerful true energy. Bolstered by their combined array, they once again struck the formidable seal.

Between the boulders, a pitch-black energy portal gradually emerged, but it was still faint. It seemed that even with their combined efforts, breaking the seal would be difficult. At this moment, Luo Kang, who had been standing idly with his arms crossed, finally made his move. His figure suddenly shot into the air, and with a flick of his wrists, a five-meter-long giant sword appeared in his hands. Tyrannical Dragon Sword, break for me!

With a single slash, a massive blade of true energy десятки meters long swept forth, carrying unparalleled might as it slammed into the black energy circle between the boulders. The onlookers gasped in astonishment, and even Yi An and the sallow-faced man standing beside him couldn’t help but be taken aback. The strength Luo Kang displayed in this sword strike was enough to kill a Martial Ancestor of considerable rank. What shocked Yi An even more was that he could tell that Luo Kang hadn’t used his full strength in this attack; it was only about seventy or eighty percent. His true power was indeed not to be underestimated!

Evidently, this sword strike also had a significant deterrent effect. Many people couldn’t help but gasp, and Luo Kang’s image grew taller in their minds. They felt a sense of powerlessness against him. Of course, Yi An was an exception. Since he had come this far, he would fight Luo Kang even if his cultivation surpassed the Martial Ancestor realm. Judging from the strength Luo Kang had just displayed, although it was formidable, it hadn’t exceeded the Martial Ancestor realm. This actually put Yi An’s mind at ease.

With a deafening boom, the black energy circle shattered as if unable to withstand the immense pressure. An entrance appeared between the boulders, revealing a passageway leading to the depths of the ancient tomb.

As soon as the seal was broken, cheers erupted, and Luo Kang led the way into the passageway, with Xiao Ru and the others following closely behind.

After Luo Kang and his companions entered, everyone else surged towards the ancient tomb’s passageway, afraid of falling behind and missing out on the treasures within. The scene was spectacular and unprecedented. Yi An and the sallow-faced man who had given him the talisman that had allowed him to evade Xiao Ru’s Cave Penetrating Eye also mingled with the crowd and headed towards the passageway. Yi An asked the sallow-faced man, Who are you? Why did you help me just now? Looking at the talisman in his hand, Yi An knew that it wasn’t something that could be crafted
