Chapter 87: Entering the Coffin Burial Site, the Murderous Plot Unveils

Chapter 87: Entering the Coffin Burial Site, the Murderous Plot Unveils

Kang Fulu gazed at the two remaining corpses on the ground and spoke in a deep voice, "They were from the Qingyang Sect. This morning, they came to pay their respects to us."

Qi Yuan also remembered this pair; they were siblings.

When they visited this morning, they brought some spirit soup.

The taste was good, just a bit salty.

"We must be cautious in this Dragon Seizure," Kang Fulu said, his face darkening. "Anyone who dares to harm our Divine Light Sect's allies is asking for death!"

"How could there be someone among the princes with such deep concealment? This person's Retribution Dragon Hand has reached a high level of mastery, instantly killing three Foundation Establishment cultivators," Dong Xian wondered.

The princes of the Great Shang Kingdom were not particularly talented.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sought external help from Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The fact that a prince and two Foundation Establishment cultivators were instantly killed by a single strike indicated that the murderer was not ordinary.

"There's no need to ponder who the murderer is; we'll eventually encounter them and deal with them then," Qi Yuan said from the side.

In the cultivation world, Qi Yuan didn't want to think either.

If he could take action, why bother thinking?

"Hmm, let's continue deeper into the Dragon Heaven Realm," said Kang Fulu, his white hair flowing.

...

Two days passed, and Qi Yuan, along with Kang Fulu and Dong Xian, had traveled a considerable distance further into the mystic realm.

This time, they discovered six more corpses in the depths of the mystic realm.

These corpses, like the ones Dong Xian had seen before, were all killed by the Retribution Dragon Hand.

Kang Fulu's face turned extremely grim: "The Retribution Dragon Hand again, instantly killing six Foundation Establishment cultivators. Could there be such a powerful prince in the Great Shang Kingdom's royalty?"

Even Kang Fulu himself couldn't achieve the feat of instantly killing six Foundation Establishment cultivators, including two at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

This was at least the strength of an Essence Core cultivator.

Qi Yuan looked at the six corpses, and for the first time, a serious expression appeared in his eyes: "This killer is quite formidable."

His eyes could see more.

【He was an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator who died at the hands of an unorthodox Divine Infant cultivator.】

The remaining five corpses didn't reveal any useful information.

How could a Divine Infant enter the Dragon Heaven Realm? At the entrance of the Dragon Heaven Realm, there was even Taoguang Zhenjun.

Moreover, to reach the Divine Infant stage within a hundred years is too exaggerated in terms of talent.

Even for an unorthodox Divine Infant, it's still exaggerated.

"In your Great Shang Kingdom, how many royals have cultivated to the Divine Infant stage?" Qi Yuan asked.

Dong Xian was taken aback, unsure why Qi Yuan was asking, but he still answered honestly.

"In our Great Shang Kingdom's royalty, there are only two Divine Infant ancestors, but both of them... passed away several years ago," Dong Xian said with a hint of desolation.

The decline of the royalty was also greatly related to the passing of these two Divine Infant ancestors.

Nowadays, in the Great Shang Kingdom, the Divine Infant venerables in the royalty were no longer of royal blood.

"Is that so?" Qi Yuan didn't ask further.

There was an unknown Divine Infant elder who had somehow infiltrated and was hunting down Foundation Establishment cultivators who entered the Dragon Heaven Realm.

For some reason, Qi Yuan smelled a conspiracy.

At this moment, Kang Fulu suddenly spoke: "There's a battle ahead, it seems to be someone from the Floating Mountain. Let's go take a look."

"Good," Qi Yuan said with some anticipation.

Was his White Moonlight among them?

The three of them hurried toward the direction of the battle.

Before they arrived, Qi Yuan saw countless swords flying in the air and trees being continuously cut down.

Clearly, the battle ahead was intense.

"Heavenly Gold Sword Art!" Kang Fulu's eyes revealed a serious expression. "One of the Seven Great Sword Arts of Floating Mountain, truly powerful!"

The three of them rushed forward, and at the front, Lei Wen and Miao Li were fighting against a strong cultivator in a python robe.

This cultivator in the python robe was fighting alone against two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Floating Mountain and wasn't at a disadvantage.

This was extremely terrifying.

Dong Xian, upon seeing the cultivator in the python robe, showed a hint of shock in his eyes: "The Second Prince!"

The cultivator in the python robe was indeed the Second Prince.

The Second Prince, his second brother, had become so formidable that he could fight against two direct disciples of Floating Mountain.

At this moment, Lei Wen's voice echoed: "Senior Brother Kang, help me! This person has killed at least three princes in the Dragon Heaven Realm with his Retribution Dragon Hand!

Several disciples from Departed Sorrow Sect and the Great Assembly have died at his hands!"

"Is it him?" Kang Fulu was furious. "Deliberately targeting us, let's show him the might of the Divine Light Sect's Sect Master's son-in-law and the direct disciple of the Five Lights Peak Master!"

He also saw three princes die at the hands of this unknown strong cultivator.

It seemed that the Second Prince was indeed killing indiscriminately.

And this Second Prince specifically targeted those related to the Divine Light Sect and Floating Mountain.

Kang Fulu raised his whisk and swiftly joined the battle.

Five Lights Holy Law!

Kang Fulu's first move was his most satisfying Five Lights Holy Law.

Qi Yuan didn't take action because Lei Wen didn't call for him.

Moreover, he felt that with Kang Fulu's help, the Second Prince wouldn't be a match.

How could he, a Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment cultivator, casually take action?

He needed to maintain his style.

Indeed, when Kang Fulu took action, combining the Five Lights Holy Law with the Heavenly Gold Sword Art.

Trees flew horizontally, and colorful lights continuously appeared.

It was like a chaotic anime with random special effects.

Qi Yuan watched from the side, feeling extremely bored.

Dong Xian watched with trepidation, his forehead occasionally beading with sweat.

"Ah, it's indeed more exciting to watch a battle with music. It's so uninteresting," Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when watching anime or browsing short videos,

the video might be ordinary, but once the music started, the entire atmosphere would change.

It could even energize people and evoke various emotions.

Dong Xian stood next to Qi Yuan, looking bewildered.

At this moment, Qi Yuan took out a jade slip from his storage bag: "Fortunately, I have some music stored.

Since the current battle didn't have music, he would provide his own.

Indeed, when the music started, Qi Yuan found the battle much more engaging.

"I am a Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment cultivator. From now on, I must have background music during battles to match my style.

Qi Yuan contemplated deeply.

BGM could instill in him an invincible spirit.

Back then, when facing nearly three thousand foreign demons at Di Jue, if he had a BGM, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries, and the pain wouldn't have been as agonizing.

At this moment, the battle was nearing its conclusion. Miao Li, engaged in combat, glanced at Qi Yuan, who was playing some light tunes, and glared at him.

While others fought, he was playing music.

"Excellent music!" Kang Fulu felt invigorated and believed that his junior disciple truly understood him.

Qi Yuan's figure flashed, and the Five Lights Holy Law descended upon the Second Prince's chest.

"Die!"

The powerful Five Lights Holy Law surged into the Second Prince's chest.

Blood gushed from the Second Prince's seven orifices, and his aura rapidly plummeted, but his face wore a crazed smile. "Insulting the royal family, you... will all die."

As he spoke, a blood-red flower appeared in his hand, which he proceeded to crush.

His aura vanished at that instant.

Qi Yuan's eyes widened in shock. "What a loss!"

Just a moment ago, his eyes had caught sight of that flower.

A prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Soul Remembrance Flower: Crushing it allows the complete transmission of the deceased's witnessed scenes to the flower's holder.

If not crushed, only fragments of memories can be transmitted.

Soul Remembrance Flower: Also the main ingredient for refining the Split Soul Pill, consumption enhances the strength of the divine soul.]



Qi Yuan's figure flashed, appearing before the Second Prince's corpse, picking up the crushed Soul Remembrance Flower with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Miao Li, with her flat chest, glanced at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with indignation.

"Junior disciple, what have you discovered?" Kang Fulu asked.

Lei Wen stood beside them, curiosity and confusion etched on his face, wondering what Qi Yuan had found.

"This is the Soul Remembrance Flower. After crushing it, the scenes we witnessed here will be transmitted to the flower's holder.

Therefore, the Second Prince likely has accomplices." Qi Yuan saw no need to conceal this information.

Kang Fulu's expression darkened. "It seems this matter is not as simple as it appears."

Miao Li couldn't help but speak up. "Even with accomplices, could their strength possibly surpass that of the Second Prince? It's a minor issue."

Lei Wen also acknowledged this.

Taoguang Zhenjun was stationed at the entrance. Even if someone managed to sneak in, it wouldn't be on a large scale.

At this moment, Qi Yuan spoke. "Senior brother, I might have to part ways with you all."

Since the Soul Remembrance Flower existed, and the Second Prince had accomplices, it was highly likely that his accomplices also possessed the Soul Remembrance Flower.

The current Qi Yuan lacked the most was the strength of his divine soul.

With a weak divine soul, he couldn't even enter the game.

Qi Yuan had been searching for ways to enhance his divine soul.

Consuming the Soul Remembrance Flower could increase his divine soul's strength.

Additionally, it could be used to refine the Split Soul Pill.

He was in dire need of it.

With an enhanced divine soul, he might be able to enter the second game.

That provocative game constantly teased him, yet denied him entry.

Qi Yuan had long wanted to enter and dominate the game, improving his strength.

Kang Fulu pondered for a moment. "Junior disciple, be careful."

He didn't inquire about Qi Yuan's reason for leaving.

In a sense, the entire Divine Light Sect and the Seven Color Peak had an equal relationship.

The chief disciples of the other peaks had to show respect to Kang Fulu, but Qi Yuan was exempt.

Miao Li spoke up. "Leaving alone might be dangerous."

Qi Yuan had mentioned accomplices, and even if they weren't strong, it was still a concern for the Great Shang Ten Paragons.

In her opinion, Qi Yuan, having just broken through to Foundation Establishment, was indeed in danger within the Dragon Heaven Realm, especially if he encountered Broken Wolf.

"Rest assured, I have my plans," Qi Yuan assured them.

After bidding farewell, Qi Yuan ventured alone into the depths of the Dragon Heaven Realm.

Along the way, Qi Yuan transformed into a stream of light and flew inward.

69BookBar

Qi Yuan muttered to himself. "According to Ice Mountain Tyrantess, Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment bestows good fortune, making one's words into law, causing gods to fall with a single utterance.

Why is my Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment so weak?

Could it be that during my Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment, in my dream, I didn't defeat that guy and signed an unequal treaty?

Did that weaken my strength?"

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the angrier he became.

It was just an accidental entry into that guy's wooden house.

Yet, he had to come and attack me! Qi Yuan refused to back down, and even though he couldn't win, he still managed to beat that guy until he was bruised and swollen.

In the end, Qi Yuan reached an agreement with that guy and stayed in the wooden house.

Qi Yuan felt that this agreement was likely the reason his Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment strength was inferior to others.

"Therefore, for Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment, one must completely suppress the guy in the wooden house to truly achieve what Ice Mountain Tyrantess described, making one's words into law.

I've suffered because I didn't have a teacher. If someone had told me this, I would have put all my effort into defeating that guy!"

As Qi Yuan thought this, he halted his steps.

Before him, a river appeared.

The river's water was still, and no life could be found within it.

【This is the Soul Loss River. If ordinary cultivators cross it recklessly, their divine souls will fall into the river.

Does this river divide the Dragon Heaven Realm into two halves?】

It was clear that the other side of the Soul Loss River had denser spiritual energy.

Qi Yuan sent out a wisp of his divine soul, extending it across.

The Soul Loss River, which could trap divine souls, had no effect on Qi Yuan.

"Indeed, my Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment has transcended that of ordinary cultivators.

This Soul Loss River won't cause my divine soul to fall into it."

Qi Yuan's courage grew, and he flew into the river.

...

Deep within the Dragon Heaven Realm, an old man shrouded in a purple robe with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, his entire body exuding dense death energy.

"Someone has crossed the Soul Loss River?" Surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Soul Loss River also existed in the first Dragon Heaven Realm.

After a century of secret research by the Great Shang Kingdom, aided by a mysterious senior cultivator's funding, they discovered a loophole in the Soul Loss River, leading to the deepest part of the Dragon Heaven Realm, the Coffin Site.

Unexpectedly, someone else had also entered this place, surprising the Purple Robed Elder.

"Liang Ye," the Purple Robed Elder murmured.

A man in soft armor appeared, his eyes burning with fervor as he faced the Elder. Astonishingly, this man in soft armor exuded a powerful aura, that of the Essence Core stage! With the True Monarch Taoguang guarding this area of the Dragon Heaven Realm, Essence Core cultivators were not allowed entry.

If Kang Fulu were to see this, he would be shocked. How did an Essence Core cultivator manage to enter?

"There's an intruder from the northeast direction. Go and deal with him quickly," the Elder commanded.

Currently, he was plotting to gain complete control over the Dragon Heaven Realm. No one must disturb him. Anyone who did would face death without mercy.

"Yes, sir!" Liang Ye respectfully replied.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could easily suppress the intruder.

He quickly retreated and headed northeast to deal with the intruder.

The Purple Robed Elder remained seated, his face contorted with a sinister expression, "Soon, soon, in ten days, the Dragon Heaven Realm will truly belong to our Great Shang royal family.

Little Two, rest assured, I will avenge you! Once this matter is concluded, I will personally behead Kang Fulu, Lei Wen, Miao Li, and Qi Yuan, offering their heads as a tribute to you!

The Divine Light Sect and the Floating Mountain deserve to die!

Our Great Shang royal family is the true royalty of Great Shang!"

His deadpan eyes revealed a manic expression.

Once this place is refined, the coffin from the Coffin Site will appear, and unlike before, it won't escape. Obtaining that coffin, the Purple Robed Elder dared not imagine the kind of opportunity it would bring.

...

"Qi Yuan?" The man in soft armor was surprised to see someone intruding into the Coffin Site.

"Do you know me?" Qi Yuan looked at him, but his eyes didn't reveal any useful information.

"I remember all the young talents from the three major sects!" Liang Ye said, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. "Today, I will sacrifice you with your blood and begin my Great Shang's grand journey!"

As Liang Ye spoke, he slowly approached Qi Yuan.

If he encountered someone like Kang Fulu, one of the Great Shang Ten Paragons, he would still feel a bit of apprehension.

But for Qi Yuan, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't consider him a threat.

"Qi Yuan, remember my name, Liang Ye.

In the future, this name will be legendary in the Great Shang cultivation world!"

Liang Ye's eyes burned with fervor, filled with aspirations for the future.

"The villain is always the villain. Before even finishing three sentences, you want to kill me?" Qi Yuan said.

Qi Yuan took out a kitchen knife, intending to create a false impression.

"This knife is a treasure bestowed by my master, a Divine Infant-stage treasure.

I can barely activate it, but it's enough to kill you!" Qi Yuan said, brandishing the knife and furiously attacking Liang Ye.

The knife's might was terrifying, emitting a chilling aura. Being struck by this knife seemed to inflict severe injuries.

Sensing the terrifying aura, Liang Ye's face changed slightly, "How can you be so strong?"

He clearly felt that with the support of that treasure, Qi Yuan's strength surpassed that of the Great Shang Ten Paragons.

However, he was still able to suppress Qi Yuan.

"After you die, this treasure will be mine!" Liang Ye's face was filled with greed as he stared at Qi Yuan's knife.

Qi Yuan's face, on the other hand, revealed a suppressed expression, "How can you be so strong?

This won't do. I must use a secret technique, or else..."

Qi Yuan's heart hardened, and he silently recited something.

His movements suddenly sped up, and on the patch of grass, one could only see a flash of white blade light.

The white blade light was extremely sharp, capable of slicing through an Essence Core cultivator.

"No!" Liang Ye's face revealed a terrified expression, but he had no chance to resist.

With a single slash, Liang Ye's entire body was split in two.

Qi Yuan, the victor, looked pale, "Pffft."

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, his face turning as white as paper, and his steps became unsteady.

"No wonder it's an Essence Core cultivator. Using the heavy treasure bestowed by my master, I exhausted most of my spiritual power to kill him.

I must quickly recover my spiritual power here. Otherwise, if another enemy comes, I won't be able to activate that ultimate treasure."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he took Liang Ye's storage bag and placed the Soul Remembrance Flower from his waist into it.

His weak appearance gradually faded.

"My performance just now should be enough to get that... White Jade Orchid Award, right?"

"You're truly a genius!"

When facing Liang Ye, Qi Yuan could have instantly killed him with a single move.

But he didn't do so.

The Soul Remembrance Flower on Liang Ye's body could transmit their words to Qi Yuan.

So, he pretended to defeat Liang Ye with the help of the treasure bestowed by his master.

He also feigned being severely injured.

Currently, he appeared to be recovering his spiritual power, and the mastermind behind the scenes would eagerly send more people to kill him.

After dealing with the small fry, the big shots will come. After dealing with the big shots, the old masters will appear.

If that happens, an endless supply of Soul Remembrance Flowers will fall into his hands.

Otherwise, if he reveals his true strength and scares off his opponents, what should he do?

Qi Yuan thought about his plan and couldn't help but feel proud of his intelligence.

Suddenly, his face changed.

"Oh no, this is bad!"

His face revealed a terrified expression, "I forgot to play the background music earlier. Without the accompaniment to enhance my performance, I won't be able to win the White Jade Orchid Award."

Qi Yuan regretted his oversight.

He decided that the next time an enemy comes, he will first play some passionate battle music.

After the battle, he will play some sentimental music.

"It's a pity I don't have 'Plucking Plum Blossoms'. Otherwise, after the battle, playing that song while I spit blood would have a better effect."

Qi Yuan thought to himself.
