Chapter 8: Plunder

  This Taishangmen master was secretly delighted, this guy didn't even chase after him, he knew that with his strength, he couldn't deal with this ethereal young master at all. He even had a feeling that this wasn't the man's true strength. What he found even more strange was when did the Qiankun Empire produce such an incredibly powerful cultivator of the body refinement realm? This was almost comparable to that demonic genius from the Xuanmen sect.

  But now he can't think that much, after all, the demon is catching up with him, and it's hard to get rid of it. No matter what, he is a mediocre king, but being scared by a famous general like this, in the future, even if everything goes smoothly, he will still be haunted by demons, and his cultivation will not progress. However, he would rather be haunted by demons than die like this.

  "An enterprise of several tens of thousands, destroyed in an instant." His heart sighed with emotion, feeling that he had finally escaped danger, but just then, he heard the demon behind him say a sentence "Ruhua, it's your turn now."

  He was being weird, when suddenly a terrifying aura enveloped him, giving him an inescapable feeling. The seven major forces surrounded him in space, sealing off his retreat and making his heart beat faster, his spirit trembling.

  "Hmph!" A cold hum came, and a woman dressed as a maid appeared in the distance. The momentum around her was triggered by her, and her eyes showed disdain, staring at the demon in the distance with killing intent. However, he still couldn't escape. Upon closer inspection, it could be discovered that this so-called maid was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful face, slender waist, and an air of dominance.

  "King Xiu Shi!!!" The master of the Tai Shang Men was shocked and pale, never expecting to encounter a King Xiu Shi. He wasn't foolish enough to think that this king had come to save him. He recalled what the demon said earlier, calling himself the "Ethereal Young Master", he didn't believe it then, but now he was certain that it was indeed the demon of the Mystic Gate.

  Now he believes it, and look, a maid has come, who is also a nun.

  "I am willing to give up everything, all my treasures, and become your servant." The arrogant master hurriedly begged for mercy, that demon he couldn't even handle, let alone the king in front of him. He had seen kings before, but those kings were far inferior to this one, it was simply impossible to mention them in the same breath. He was certain, this was at least a top-notch king.

  "Do you know how to beg for mercy now?" Qin Hao's voice came: "Where did you go just now?"

  "Elusive gentleman, you are a man of great importance, I know your status is extraordinary, how could you possibly bother with someone as insignificant as me, the master of a small sect? Killing me would only sully your hands. Spare my life and I will be your servant, do whatever you want me to do. Ah, yes, I have a secret, that's right, a secret, just spare my life and I'll tell you."

  "Oh." Qin Hao pretended to be hesitant, now the entire Tianlong Gate was sealed by his demonic eye, no one could escape. This Taishang Sect Master obviously took him for some kind of royal prince, in the cultivator world, only princes from the Zhongtu kingdom would bring a powerful servant like this.

  "This secret is related to Ming Wang's tomb." The master of the Taoist temple continued, deeply afraid that Qin Hao would accidentally kill him.

  "King Ming's tomb?" Even Huayang Madame was somewhat surprised, how could the master of this medium-sized sect have news about King Ming's tomb? However, there are no coincidences in the world, maybe it's really true.

  "Old man, you're not telling me that the thing I'm looking for is in the hands of that demon from your country of Chūyún, are you?" Qin Hao said coldly: "If so, then there's no need to say more. I already know his location and was just about to go kill him."

  As he spoke, Qin Hao was about to take action, but at this moment, the master of the Tai Shang Men suddenly became flustered and said: "No, no, it's not him, absolutely not because of him."

  "Who is that?" Qin Hao immediately felt a sense of possibility.

  "You just agree to let me go and I'll say it." The master of the house said afterwards.

  "Alright, I'll let you go, as long as you're willing to speak out and swear an oath to heaven. Otherwise, let me suffer the consequences of being struck by lightning." Qin Hao said without hesitation, and as soon as he made the vow, a powerful contractual force descended upon him.

  This superior master seemed to have felt something, and his expression suddenly calmed down a bit: "Feng Yezi, in fact, the tomb of Ming Wang is located within the borders of Chuyun Country. The Great Teaching's divination couldn't find it because the tomb has an array that reverses heaven and earth. In theory, except for that insignificant ant from Xuanmen, basically no one should be able to find it... but..."

  "What is it?" Qin Hao's face remained calm and his heart didn't skip a beat.

  "But there is one place where it can be found, and that is at Izumo Gate." The master of Tai Shang Men said.

  "Out of the clouds?" Qin Hao thought of that little princess, mischievous to the extreme.

  "What makes you think so?" Madame Hua Yang also spoke up.

  As soon as this was said, the master of the Taishangmen immediately became flustered and hastily said: "That is because Ming Wang's tomb, in fact, is the ancestral tomb of the Yún Mén!!"

  "What!!" Lady Huayang was shocked. The Cloud Exit Country and the Cloud Exit Gate were related to the monarch's lineage, but no one knew that the Cloud Exit Gate was actually where the Ming Wang inheritance lay. If this secret got out, it would likely be a disaster for the entire Cloud Exit Gate.

  "Indeed, Izumo Gate can become a top-notch gate, and it's not without reason. It seems that the water in Izumo Gate is quite deep. I suppose it won't be long before the Nine Gates Alliance is formed, and at that time, the Mystic Gate will also attend. I'll just take a trip to Izumo Gate then." Qin Hao smiled, his ambition burning brighter than ever, determined to claim the Ming Wang's Tomb.

  "Alright, let him go." Qin Hao said, turning around and walking towards the Tianlong Gate. However, as soon as he turned around, a miserable cry echoed through the air. Qin Hao didn't even turn his head back, but instead continued to walk away with light steps.

  "You're going to be struck by thunder...". This was the last voice left in the mortal world by this arrogant and overbearing master. The next moment, his entire body, as well as everything else, turned into a pile of ashes, not even leaving behind that peerless divine weapon.

  "I said let you go, but this woman wouldn't listen to me." Qin Hao smiled as he gazed up at the sky. This time, he hadn't actually broken his promise; he had indeed said he would let this arrogant man go, but Lady Huayang had insisted on killing him instead.

  At this time, the remaining disciples of Yunmen Gate were all trembling with fear, and some were even so scared that they wet their pants. Qin Hao shook his head, fear is a normal human emotion, but wetting one's pants is not something to be proud of. He lightly raised his hand and slapped down, and the famous senior who had wet his pants instantly turned into flying ash.

  Qin Haosheng felt a sense of emotion, and the folding fan reappeared in his hand. At some point in time, he was an ant in front of the king, but now these people were all ants in front of him.

  "Hand over all your valuable items, those who don't want to die stand on the left, and those who want to die stand on the right. Put the valuable things in the middle." Qin Hao said loudly, he knew that killing these people was useless, as all the cultivators had been turned into purple gas by him, but it was just a small group anyway. Killing these unaccomplished disciples wouldn't bring much benefit either.

  It is said that one should spare others when possible, in reality, killing these people would not gain much, it's better to let them go, and after they hand over all the yuan stones, scatter like birds and beasts.

  "Poverty, it's really poverty. With so many people, there's only a thousand mid-grade yuan stones, and high-grade yuan stones are almost non-existent." Qin Hao felt greatly disappointed, then searched the entire Tian Long Men, finally entering the treasury, but inside, there wasn't a single thing that caught Qin Hao's eye, apart from a few mid-grade human dao weapons, there was nothing else.

  However, he found more than a dozen top-grade yuan stones here, which made him ecstatic. Lady Huayang only glanced at the treasure room and then stood at the door with a disdainful expression.

  Qin Hao was carefully searching for something, this wasn't the usual stuff, he took all these things without hesitation. He thought to himself, if there's a mysterious beast skin here too, that would be great. He really liked the secret techniques in that mysterious beast skin, it was absolutely a combination of secret methods and techniques. It's just that he hadn't collected them all yet, but even just the first move was so terrifying, the king of the human world was severely injured.

  It was just used once, the consumption was terrifying, even the little sprout fell asleep, and I myself suffered a severe internal injury. Later on, if it wasn't for my timely breakthrough, with my vital energy surging out, I'm afraid that time would have been my downfall.

  "What are you looking for?" Madame Huayang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

  "There's nothing." Qin Hao smiled, apparently he didn't gain anything this time. Not every treasure trove had a mysterious beast skin, although it seemed a bit disappointing, but not without surprises.

  "Are you feeling that Yuan Shi is not enough?" Madam Huayang suddenly said.

  "Hmm? Do you have a way? We can't just go to the Grand Temple to get it, right?" Qin Hao said.

  "Hmm." Madame Huayang's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said in a low voice: "You've extracted the dragon veins of the Tianlong Gate, so you can naturally refine the yuan stones. The Tianlong Gate is not bad, with nine dragon veins, all of which are middle-grade human dao. As long as you find the core of the dragon veins and bring out the great dragon, you can definitely refine the yuan stones of the human dao's ultimate realm. Nine pieces should be enough for your use."

  "Only nine?" Qin Hao's face was unsatisfied, he didn't know that the Dragon Vein could actually transform into Yuan Stones, but he knew one thing - once the Dragon Vein was extracted, this entire region of heaven and earth would become a dead land, with an area of tens of thousands of miles becoming desolate and devoid of human life.

  Even a Feng Shui master can only borrow, but not extract the dragon vein. Borrowing can be endless, but extracting is completely different.

  Mojin School Lieutenant has a rule, no matter what tomb is stolen, the ancestral grave cannot be destroyed cleanly, and when taking things, several must be left behind. Things can't be done to the extreme, otherwise, if people don't kill you, heaven will destroy you.

  As for the ancestral tomb of Xuanmen, it was purely accidental and destined. Xuantian Feng built the tomb in a bad location, right on top of the Gate of Life and Death. This is simply a suicidal act. Qin Hao just followed the will of heaven and destroyed the ancestral tomb. Even if he wasn't afraid, one day someone would follow the will of heaven and break it open anyway.

  "The nine Congenital Spiritual Stones are equivalent to the top-grade cultivation of 900 people. Isn't that enough?" said Madame Huayang.

  "My goodness......" Qin Hao was slightly moved, thinking back and forth, and finally decided to withdraw a few of them...
