Chapter 932: Repeated Misfortunes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Jue Qingzi heard those words, he began to frown slightly, which he had never done before. Although his benevolent heart made it difficult for him to refuse the requests of others, especially the requests of Leng Yan who had provided him three extra spaces in the quota of people entering the night pearl small world, what they were confronting at that moment was was corpse demon of an ancient god.

Its strength was even more formidable than that of a god.

Although he belonged to the lineage of sword immortals and his formidable strength allowed him to challenge enemies above his realm, there was a limit to how tyrannical his power could be. He could barely resist an initial stage true immortal, so there was no way that he could be an enemy for an ancient god’s corpse demon.

Jue Qingzi turned to look at Li Yunmu lying next to the coffin, but he couldn’t sense any vitality from the man’s body. His brows creased, for he had no idea what exactly the golden immortal almighty was thinking of doing.

If a true immortal went up against an ancient god’s corpse demon, they would be killed instantly, but if an ancient god’s corpse demon went up against a golden immortal powerhouse, they would be crushed straight away.

So what was Li Yunmu doing? He had observed the lid of the coffin and even lifted the hand of the ancient god’s corpse demon. But even if that was forgotten, he was a golden immortal powerhouse. His cultivation was similar to that of the corpse demon before he died and their physical bodies were both at ancient god level, so how could Li Yunmu have lost consciousness after being hit by a single slap from the corpse demon.?

Jue Qingzi did not believe it.

An energy fluctuation flashed at the corner of his eyes, and Jue Qingzi saw a thread of black mist rise from Li Yunmu’s body. It flew in Leng Yan’s direction and coiled around his legs, then rose up, forming a pair of black hands at his waist. The next instant, the key fragment of god ruins appeared in the hands of the black mist.

Every god ruins required a key to enter, and the key fragment in the hands was precisely that. Leng Yan had one, just like the people of Yin Manor and Nine Palaces’ disciples. Without the key fragment, they would be trapped inside the cave due to their tribulation passing stage cultivation.

The black mist hand swallowed the key fragment and returned to the body lying prone on the ground.

Jue Qingzi was watching from beginning to the end, but Leng Yan as well as Yang Kong and the two maids did not anything amiss since their attention was completely focused on the corpse demon.

“Oi, idiot, you shouldn’t agree and continue acting as their lackey, don’t you know that? This metal attribute’s godhood is for you, since I made a promise to your younger apprentice sister. Now take your junior disciples to the side and use this key fragment to leave!”

Jue Qingzi followed the order of the voice and saw a transparent Li Yunmu handing him the key fragment while his main body was still lying on the ground without anyone paying it any attention.

After hearing Li Yunmu’s words, he nodded in agreement.

Before them was an ancient god’s corpse demon, so how could he possibly continue helping Leng Yan as his lackey and go to fight against the corpse demon? He really couldn’t continue acting as usually for it would be pure idiocy. He had already been Leng Yan’s lackey several times over the years. Considering that Leng Yan had provided him with three extra slots, he had already repaid his kindness long ago.

Leng Yan’s gaze shifted from the corpse demon after he noticed that there wasn’t any response from Jue Qingzi. He turned to look and saw Jue Qingzi pulling Yan Wanqiu and the twins behind him while they retreated to the edge of the cave with a key fragment.

Leng Yan subconsciously opened his spatial ring to take a look and found that the key fragment he owned had disappeared. When he looked up to see the key fragment in Jue Qingzi’s hand once more, the faint smile on his face disappeared, and he gloomily said, “Brother Jue Qingzi, when did Profound Sword Pavilion teach you stealing? If you hand over the key fragment right now, I can pretend that this matter never happened. But if you continue persisting with your way, then you should think about your sect.”

When Yan Wanqiu saw the key fragment in Jue Qingzi’s hand, she was slightly startled. But without waiting for her to ask about it, Jue Qingzi looked at Leng Yan and said calmly, “Brother Leng, come out of here alive before threatening me.”

He then turned the key fragment in reverse, creating a white light which pulled them inside.

The white light had only been present for an instant, and Jue Qingzi and his fellow disciples disappeared without any trace, returning to the mountain outside.

In the cave, Leng Yan and his two maids were looking at the place where Jue Qingzi disappeared with a dumbfounded expressions. The three of them hadn’t realized that Jue Qingzi this time was different compared to the past.

Yang Kong looked at the ancient god’s corpse demon, and his complexion went pale. He could sense the strength of the corpse demon. Yet the only way to leave the god ruins, the key fragment, had disappeared, which drove him crazy.

“Without the ruin fragment, we will all die here!” Yang Kong shrieked as he continued tapping his foot against the ground.

“Young Master Leng, what should we do now?” The two maids frowned while looking at the corpse demon walking in front of them. “What about that restriction destroying seal bestowed upon you earlier!”

Usually, without the key fragment, those without the strength of a true immortal or above didn’t have any way to leave the god ruins. That was because when the Alliance created the god ruins, they had intentionally sealed them off from all around.

But the two maids of Leng Yan were clear that Leng Yan had secretly used his authority in the clan as well as the higher position in the Alliance to come, so he wouldn’t have entered the god ruins with just a key fragment. He also had to have an even higher level restriction breaking seal which could open the sealed god ruins.

The restriction breaking seal was bestowed by the upper echelons upon him because they knew that the god ruin this time was different from other ones. The godhood concealed inside it was an extremely precious godhood of an ancient god.

“Oh right, I still have the restriction breaking seal.”

After being reminded by the two maids, Leng Yan recalled the restriction destroying seal bestowed upon him by the upper echelons. With this restriction destroying seal, he wasn’t very anxious. He should first think of a way to obtain the ancient god’s godhood stored in the corpse demon.

He shifted his gaze to the corpse demon in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

“We four will try our best to get our hands on the godhood inside the corpse demon.”

Leng Yan saw that the two maids seemed to be at a loss and that he sense of crisis in Yang Kong’s heart had made him go crazy.

“If you all want to leave, then attack it with me.”

Li Yunmu had concealed to the side while listening to the conversation between Leng Yan and the two maids. Upon hearing about the way they were going to leave, his eyes flashed. He wanted to take a look at it, and he entered Leng Yan’s spatial ring and grabbed the restriction destroying seal. Without it, there was no possibility of Leng Yan and the others leaving the god ruins.

From the time they entered, Li Yunmu had felt nauseous after seeing Leng Yan’s face as he used hypocritical reasons to compel Jue Qingzi to act as his lackey. It was why he had awakened the ancient god’s corpse demon, then pretended to lose consciousness and took the key fragment from Leng Yan. He then gave it to Jue Qingzi to let him leave in order to conveniently settle the problem of Leng Yan and his group.

After coming to the night pearl small world, the first person he had encountered was Jue Qingzi. The talkative Jue Qingzi and the timid yet earnest and a fan of chicken ribs Yan Wanqiu as well as the twins who cultivated the secret technique and kept their mouths closed had left a good impression on him. Before them, he had believed that everyone from beyond the heavens was the same as yin son of heaven.

In the end, since Jue Qingzi and others gave him a good impression, Li Yunmu naturally wouldn’t let them get into trouble.

Another reason for his actions was that Ancient God Ru Shou was buried alive in the coffin, so his heart was filled with resentment. As a god of the Origin World, Li Yunmu wanted to offer the four disciples as a sacrifice to Ancient God Ru Shou.
