Chapter 297: Han Li is too steady, Ye Fan is too insidious

Boom!

A pillar of essence smoke shot straight into the clouds; inside the cave dwelling, Bai Yuekui had already pushed her human physiological functions to the limit.

"Break!"

Within Bai Yuekui's body, the mysterious barrier of life and death located somewhere near her heart was instantly shattered by a massive surge of Qi and blood essence.

Every single cell in her flesh and blood was breathing frantically, greedily devouring the power of heaven and earth.

A Human Immortal, though their lifespan is no more than two hundred years.

Has already begun to comprehend the small universe of the body, endless and cyclical, where the human body and heaven and earth blend together.

There are no gaps anywhere on the body; all major checkpoints of the human body's universe are guarded, and Qi and blood do not leak.

Power permeates the fingers; a flick of the finger brings forth thunder and waves, and the power of a single finger can pierce through mountains.

A casual punch covers a radius of fifty miles, and once the masculine Qi and blood are set in motion, ghosts and evil spirits find it difficult to intrude.

"Hoo."

After advancing to Human Immortal, Bai Yuekui left the cave dwelling; at this moment, she felt her thoughts were clear, her whole body comfortable, as if she were omnipotent.

She walked out of the cave dwelling, now possessing a body without leaks; not a single pore could be seen on her entire body, leaving her skin as smooth as the finest silk.

"Bai Laoban, your temperament is simply Absolute; those who don't know might think you've become an immortal," Ye Fan couldn't help but say.

"So white," Xiao Shi said.

"What a beautiful big sister," Xiao Nannan said.

Wang Wu, that old lecher, went straight over to hug Bai Yuekui and rubbed against her affectionately, feeling that she had skin like ice and bones like jade, incomparably silky and breathtakingly beautiful.

"..." Bai Yuekui.

"Congratulations," Xuanzang said, happy to see a group member take a step forward.

"It is only a slight breakthrough, still far from being comparable to Xuanzang Sheng Seng. Advancing to Human Immortal is only the first step of Martial Dao, just the beginning."

Bai Yuekui said, her demeanor calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impatient, already possessing the style of a Master.

Although her age might not compare to the older generation, her understanding of Martial Dao was in no way inferior to the Martial Artists in the group.

"This is great; with Bai Laoban's breakthrough and Xuan Ge helping out, let's empty out the Demon Emperor Tomb," Ye Fan said.

"No problem," Wang Wu said.

Boom!

At this moment, a more intense rumbling sound came from the firmament of the Eastern Wasteland again.

Looking from afar, it was like a volcanic eruption, with a stream of scorching magma and flames filling the sky like fireworks.

In the Void, one could see a cave dwelling appearing and disappearing, vast and atmospheric, with imperial might spreading in all directions.

"The Demon Emperor Tomb has really appeared," Ye Fan said excitedly.

"It truly lives up to being a Great Emperor's tomb; this spectacle is truly breathtaking," Wang Wu said.

"Let's go," Xuanzang said.

As the words fell, the group turned into a long rainbow and rushed toward the Demon Emperor Tomb.

At this moment, in front of the Demon Emperor Tomb, the first to arrive were the forces of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Race already in the area.

A great battle between the two forces was on the verge of breaking out, while the surrounding loose cultivators gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch the show.

"Humans, get lost. This is the Demon Emperor Tomb of our Demon Race; it is not for the Human Race to touch."

A black minotaur roared, and the terrifying sound wave turned into an air current that forced back many cultivators.

"Monsters, this place is the territory of our Human Race; you are the ones who should get lost, you Demon Race."

An old man wearing a Daoist robe held an Eight Trigrams Mirror and struck out a mysterious light, blasting the minotaur back.

This person was none other than the sect leader of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, Li Zhenren.

"Shameless, this land originally belonged to our Demon Race, and was later forcibly occupied by you humans," the Demon bull said loudly.

"What forced occupation? This Eastern Wasteland has been the territory of the Human Race since ancient times. It was only when Qingdi was alive that you Demon Race occupied this land; now that Qingdi has passed away, is there a problem with us humans taking it back?" an Elder of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven said.

"The Demon Emperor Tomb is a treasure left for the Demon Race; what does it have to do with you humans!"

A bird-man with wings said, its fangs sharp and its aura eerie.

Its speed was also extremely fast, like an aurora, and every time it stopped, it would injure some human cultivators.

"Who says it has nothing to do with us? This Demon Emperor Tomb contains our Human Race's Dao Scripture and Eastern Wasteland treasures; it is time for them to be returned to their rightful owners," the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven said.

Hearing this, the Demon Race's expressions turned ugly; regardless of what they said, the humans were determined to have the treasures in the Demon Emperor Tomb.

There was no help for it; the tomb happened to be under the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, and neither the timing nor the location was on their side.

But they just couldn't swallow this anger!

At the foot of the mountain, Xuanzang's group had already arrived at the outer perimeter of the Demon Emperor Tomb and did not enter immediately.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor Tomb had appeared, but the gate had not yet opened.

"Xuan Ge, what should we do? Should we just grab it directly or?" Ye Fan asked.

"The treasures here are useless to me, so it doesn't matter to me; do as you please," Xuanzang said.

Han Li heard this and said: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. We don't need to take the initiative to grab; when the Demon Emperor Tomb opens, treasures will naturally fly out. Besides, the few of us standing together is too eye-catching; I suggest we disperse."

"Brother Han, you are indeed steady," Ye Fan expressed his agreement.

"Xiaochun, come find another place to squat with me," Han Li said.

"No problem," Bai Xiaochun agreed, feeling very excited inside.

"Ye Fan, you choose a place to squat for treasures yourself; being with us might affect your Qi Luck," Xuanzang said.

"That makes sense, Xuan Ge." Ye Fan also found a corner and squatted silently.

Only Xuanzang, Wang Wu, Xiao Nannan, and Xiao Shi remained at the scene.

Many female cultivators in the vicinity were casting flirtatious glances at Xuanzang, but they were basically ignored by him.

Some cultivators wanted to come over and strike up a conversation with Wang Wu, but Wang Wu took out her Wolf-Tooth Club and knocked them into idiots, stripped off all their clothes, robbed their Storage Bags, and didn't even leave a single hair behind.

Seeing this, many male cultivators who had ideas about her also kept a respectful distance.

"It seems like only small fry have come so far; there isn't anyone particularly wealthy," Wang Wu said.

"No need to rush, more powerful factions should arrive very soon," Xuanzang said.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a deafening screech came from the eastern sky; looking up, one could see dozens of savage beasts resembling Qilin pulling a carriage as they whistled through the air, followed by hundreds of cultivators, each carrying a large black banner, their momentum stern and imposing, with the character "Ji" engraved upon the banners.

This was, shockingly, the ancient clan, the Ji Family. A family that had produced a Great Emperor, with a long heritage and profound foundations.

Two people sat on the carriage pulled by the Qilin-like savage beasts: a black-robed youth with a handsome and dashing appearance, and a quirky, eccentric girl in purple.

These two were none other than the contemporary Divine Son of the Ji Family, Ji Haoyue, and the most favored little Princess, Ji Ziyue.

The arrival of the Ji Family caused the expressions of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Race to change drastically; with such an ancient clan arriving, they would likely only be able to drink the soup.

But that was not all; from another direction, dozens of flood dragons flew over together, followed by a massive carriage filled with cultivators, and the two characters "Yaoguang" came into view.

In the center of the carriage, a man and a woman stood side by side; the man was refined and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament.

The woman was a peerless beauty, enchanting and graceful.

They were the Saint Son and Saintess of the Yaoguang Holy Land!

Before long, from several directions, the Dayan Holy Land, Zifu Holy Land, Xiaoyao Sect, and Yinyang Sect, along with several other major sects, all arrived together.

"..."

The Sect Leader of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven was speechless; who exactly leaked the news, and why did so many major sects arrive together, and with such tacit understanding?

One must know that the tomb of the Demon Emperor had only been unearthed for half a month, and they had previously blocked the news precisely to swallow the treasure alone.

Afterwards, even if these major sects arrived, the opportunities would have already been carved up.

Now, everything was in complete chaos.

"Hehe, this is much more interesting than it was originally."

In the crowd, Ye Fan gave a sinister smile. How could one fish in troubled waters if the water wasn't muddy?

PS: Begging for... I'm a bit stuck.
