Chapter 509: As long as I dig fast enough

Following Hong Zun's words, everyone hurriedly climbed to the top of the tomb, and at a glance they were dumbfounded.

The huge tomb had already been cleared out, leaving it empty, without a person.

Not to mention treasures, even the corpses were gone.

When we previously cracked the Jinhai Yingdi, the aquatic tribe indeed dug up the remains of dozens of their ancestors.

But now this ancestral tomb actually contains hundreds of graves, yet they are all empty.

"Damn it, who the hell did this?"

If it were grave robbing, taking the treasures would be enough; there's no need to haul away the bones as well.

The situation has completely deviated from the plan; with the aquatic tribe's ancestral tomb gone, what do they have left to lure the aquatic tribe out?

Hong Zun, speechless, contacted Qi Xiong.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior Brother, a small situation has arisen."

"What situation?"

"The aquatic tribe's ancestral tomb has been dug up."

"Huh??? Who did it?"

"I don't know."

"With the bait gone, there's no point fishing for anything."

Not long after, Qi Xiong personally rushed over; after a thorough inspection, there really was nothing left.

Looking at the aquatic tribe's ancestral tomb before him, already utterly destroyed, Qi Xiong said helplessly.

"Let's go, we'll talk after we get back."

Given the current situation, the plan definitely can't proceed; all the way back to Jinhai Yingdi, seeing everyone return in just a few Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing also wondered aloud.

"You came back that fast?"

"Don't mention it; I don't know which bastard dug up the aquatic tribe's ancestral tomb first."

Zhao Zhengping retorted in annoyance; hearing this, Ye Zhangqing also froze, thinking, "Digging up an ancestral tomb—competition is this fierce?"

But after a moment's thought, who could get through Jinhai Yingdi to enter the Eastern Sea?

Suddenly, Ye Zhangqing thought of a possibility, and Lu Youyou said.

"Could it be that the aquatic tribe did it themselves?"

"Huh???"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, then they explained that it seemed possible, after all the aquatic tribe had this precedent.

Hadn't they themselves dug up the remains of their own old ancestor before?

Now repeating the old trick, digging up the entire ancestral tomb is not impossible.

"But digging them all up—wouldn't that be going too far?"

It's possible, yet hard to believe.

Meanwhile, the new Dragon Palace in the deep sea, having been hastily relocated, still appeared extremely shabby.

Several aquatic tribe members came rushing to see Long Aotian.

"What's wrong?"

"Dragon King, the Dao Yi Sect has indeed entered the Eastern Sea, and it looks like they're heading toward the ancestral tomb."

Hong Zun and Qing Shi of Divine Sword Peak, together with Elder Shi Song, appeared and also entered the Eastern Sea, heading for the ancestral tomb.

They sent this news back immediately, not daring to delay in the slightest.

However, Long Aotian was utterly unsurprised, and even smiled confidently.

"Heh, just as I expected."

"Huh???"

Hearing Long Aotian's words, several aquatic tribe members were stunned; due to their status, they hadn't been able to access many of the aquatic tribe's secrets.

Moreover, Long Aotian's earlier order to dig up his own ancestral tomb had been carried out secretly, so they didn't know about it.

Seeing the several aquatic tribe members with their strange expressions, Long Aotian chuckled lightly.

"Rest assured, I made preparations long ago; the ancestral tomb was already dug up by me personally beforehand."

"Huh???"

His eyes full of disbelief, the Dragon King wondered what he had just said—did he personally dig up our aquatic tribe's ancestral tomb?

"No, you damn well dug up your own ancestral tomb, and yet you're strutting around here proud of what?"

"Shouldn't this make you feel guilty, ashamed, and indignant?"

Seeing what these several aquatic tribe members were thinking, Long Aotian let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, ignorant—if the ancestors remained in the old ancestral tomb, they would eventually be harmed by the Dao Yi Sect."

"I had long anticipated that the Dao Yi Sect would resort to such despicable tactics as digging up ancestral tombs, so I took precautions early, seeking a new home for the ancestors—this is a matter of life and death."

"You can't even understand this; you've truly disappointed me."

Dazed, the several aquatic tribe members at that moment only felt their heads buzzing.

"You damn well listen to what you're saying—talking about the old ancestral tomb and finding a new home for the ancestors, as if the forefathers should thank you."

"Um, may I ask, Dragon King, where are the ancestors' remains now................. "

"Hmph, how so—are you questioning me?"

"I dare not."

Seeing Long Aotian's grim expression, several aquatic tribe members shook their heads repeatedly, indicating they dared not; seeing this, Long Aotian didn't say much more, seemingly uttering a casual remark.

"I have naturally already found a safe haven for the ancestors—in the Heavenless Deep Abyss."

Huh????

Abyss of No Heaven? That damn isn't a deep-sea trench in the deep sea? Dark and sunless, so the Water Tribe calls it the Abyss of No Heaven, because you simply can't see the sky.

You damn moved the ancestors to where? And you even said this is a guarantee?

"The Abyss of No Heaven is bottomless; the ancestors are here, so the Dao Yi Sect can no longer harm them—this is also for the ancestors' peace."

I'm completely speechless; just because of this, you've moved all of my Water Tribe's ancestors to the Abyss of No Heaven?

Looking at the several Water Tribe members standing dumbfounded, Long Aotian casually waved his hand.

"Go, you don't need to worry about the ancestral tomb."

Hearing that, the several Water Tribe members turned and left with vacant eyes, their minds in a mess.

But before they could leave the hall, they heard Long Aotian proudly say from behind:

"As long as I dig fast enough, the Dao Yi Sect won't be able to catch this king."

The several Water Tribe members' mouths twitched wildly—what the hell are you saying?

Just after those several Water Tribe members left, Long Zhan Tian rushed in, looking anxious.

"Aotian, the Dao Yi Sect's reinforcements have arrived, and they even went to the ancestral tomb—we must hurry to help, for the ancestral tomb is where our Water Tribe's forebears lie asleep; how can we let these vile humans desecrate it?"

Long Zhan Tian was very anxious; apparently he didn't know about the ancestral tomb matter.

Seeing that, Long Aotian, as before, spoke with a calm expression.

"I've already made arrangements for the ancestral tomb; big brother, you don't need to worry."

"Huh??? Arrangements? What arrangements?"

"This king dug first; even if the Dao Yi Sect goes, it's useless."

Huh???

After being stunned for a few seconds, Long Zhan Tian came to, his eyes wide, looking like he'd seen a ghost.

"What are you saying? You dug up the ancestral tomb?"

Seeing Long Zhan Tian's excited state, Long Aotian nodded.

"Hmm, wasn't the decision to migrate the whole tribe to the deep sea? Naturally that includes all the ancestors."

"You............."

Looking at Long Aotian in disbelief, Long Zhan Tian blurted, "Damn migrating the whole tribe to the deep sea—you even counted the ancestors?"

Who the hell would dig up their own ancestral tomb? Besides, you damn migrated, just migrate—why drag the ancestors into it?

"Big brother, rest assured, everything is under my control; the Dao Yi Sect still tries to threaten my Water Tribe with the ancestral tomb, but too bad this king dug up the ancestors first, hehe."
