Chapter 773: Sword Tomb

Overbearing aura, heaven-made!

Although this statement is overconfident, even bordering on arrogance, yet coming from her mouth, it inexplicably convinces people.

Feng Xianyin raised her eyebrows high, a gleam flashing in her eyes, then she smiled, saying, "I'll be waiting with bated breath!"

Ye Qingran and her group followed Feng Ying all the way deep into the black forest.

Suddenly the earth trembled, a flash of lightning-like brilliance pierced the dense black forest, shining into everyone's eyes.

"The Sword Tomb has appeared!"

A member of the Yun Tribe whispered, excitement showing in their eyes.

Everyone knows that in the Duan Hun Sea's Soul Realm, there is a Sword Tomb that lies hidden underground year-round, hard to find. Occasionally it emerges from underground; whenever this happens, it is the liveliest time in the Duan Hun Sea, because the swords within the Sword Tomb are real, and if one has sufficient ability and opportunity, they can obtain a sword from it.

Know this: none of the swords in the Sword Tomb are mundane.

I never expected that this time they'd be so lucky; the Sword Tomb has reappeared!

Before Ye Qingran came to the Duan Hun Sea, she naturally had learned about the Sword Tomb. She had even imagined the Sword Tomb appearing, even if the probability was low.

"I never thought I'd actually encounter it!" Ye Qingran thought to herself.

She turned her gaze, noticing Feng Xianyin beside her; the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she weren't surprised by the Sword Tomb's appearance.

Do you know the Sword Tomb will appear this time?

Feng Xianyin glanced at her sideways, "I don't know. I just guessed."

Ye Qingran smiled, unsure whether she believed it or not.

"Do you know?" Feng Qingyin suddenly lowered her tone.

"Whenever the Sword Tomb appears, the King of Ten Thousand Swords may also manifest; though the hope is slim, there is still hope, isn't there?"

Ye Qingran didn't know what Feng Qingyin wanted to say, but she listened patiently.

"The one who pulls that sword has a chance to fulfill a wish."

The appearance of the Sword Tomb drew people from every corner of the Soul Realm to gather there.

Ye Qingran glanced toward the Sword Tomb, then at the direction Feng Ying pointed, her brows furrowing.

Lu Yunfeng is in the direction of the Sword Tomb?

Exiting the black forest, the Sword Tomb lay ahead.

A round mound, with thousands upon thousands of swords planted in it; even after ten thousand years, they still gleam with cold light, and one can immediately feel the chilling sword qi.

A blend of sword qi and dead qi condensed into a gray mist that swirled around the mound, permeating among the myriad treasure swords scattered across the hills.

By now, hundreds or even thousands of people had already gathered around the Sword Tomb, with more still streaming in.

Many had already begun to clench their fists, eager to try.

"How about it, can you pinpoint Lu Yunfeng's location?"

Standing at a distance from the Sword Tomb, Ye Qingran asked Feng Xianyin.

Feng Xianyin shook her head, "I can't be certain, but he is somewhere near this Sword Tomb."

"If he can evade Feng Ying's pursuit, your friend is likely to stir up big trouble."

Ye Qingran's brows slightly furrowed; what Feng Xianyin said was exactly what she was thinking.

"Miss, why don't we split up to look around nearby? Perhaps Lu Yunfeng is nearby."

Leng Yue spoke up.

"Little sister, you're naive; before you find him, Feng Ying has already found him."

Meaning Feng Ying can't even find Lu Yunfeng, let alone these people.

"Don't worry, Mother; Brother Feng, a fortunate person, will have heavenly favor."

"Exactly, I see Brother Feng as a blessed person; nothing will happen to him."

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen felt Ye Qingran's worry and both spoke to comfort her.

Ye Qingran gave the children a smile. She was indeed worried about Lu Yunfeng, because his identity is different from others—he is her brother Yun Feng from Huaxia; she had already lost Yun Feng once and cannot lose him again!

"Mother is fine."

The crowd surrounded the Sword Tomb, selecting their favored swords; some prepared individuals had already entered the Sword Tomb, attempting to pull out the swords they liked.

The swords in the Sword Tomb appear loosely stuck in the soil, but they are actually as heavy as a fortune, impossible to pull out!

"These swords all have sword spirits; brute force won't work. Even if one can communicate with the sword spirit, it will reject the vast majority of people; throughout history, those who can draw a treasure sword from the Sword Tomb are few and far between, and not all of them are unparalleled figures. This largely depends on fate and opportunity."

Feng Xianyin said this leisurely. Everyone looked at her in surprise, feeling she seemed to have come prepared.

Bai Zifeng arrived at the Sword Tomb; before he could even choose his favored sword, he saw Ye Qingran not far away.

At this moment, having sworn an oath to become Ye Qingran's slave for three years, he dared not scold her, fearing punishment.

He chose to sneak away to a place far from Ye Qingran.

He thought he had done it flawlessly, but in fact he was already under Ye Qingran's very nose.

"Bai Zifeng, seeing me, won't you come over to pay respects?"

Ye Qingran deliberately raised her voice so it reached the ears of those around.

Bai Zifeng?

"Who in Nan Yin Zhou hasn't heard the name Bai Zifeng?"

"Bai Zifeng, the younger brother of Bai Zichuan, the once-in-several-centuries genius of the Bai Tribe!"

"Bai Zifeng? The Bai Tribe has come as well?"

Everyone quickly pinpointed Bai Zifeng's location, then began to wonder, given his status, why would he need to pay respects to someone?

"Whose face is so big?"

Bai Zifeng wished he could dig a hole in the ground.

"If possible, he would rather not have entered the Duan Hun Sea today!"

A single misstep brings eternal regret!

However, unable to resist the oath binding him, Bai Zifeng could only stiffly turn around, looking at Ye Qingran not far away, and gave an embarrassed smile, "Oh, it's you..."

"You? Tell everyone, what am I to you?"

Most of those present had no idea what had happened in the Scorching Fire Domain; seeing Bai Zifeng's attitude so good, they were instantly curious.

Who doesn't know Bai Zifeng of the Bai Tribe, arrogant to the extreme, yet he actually bowed and scraped before a woman?

"... Master!"

After a long time of mental preparation, Bai Zifeng finally spoke.

"What?"

Everyone doubted they had misheard.

Bai Zifeng actually said that this woman was his master?

The Bai Tribe's esteemed genius, actually willing to be a slave?

"I know, Bai Zifeng lost a bet to Ye Qingran in the Scorching Fire Domain; according to the agreement, he must serve Ye Qingran as a slave for three years!"

"Ye Qingran? You couldn't be referring to the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit, could you?"

"Besides her, who else could it be?"

In an instant, everyone's gazes toward Ye Qingran burned with fervor.

She is the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit?

"I thought you had forgotten." Ye Qingran spoke lightly, "Since I didn't let you go that far, come stand obediently by my side."

Bai Zifeng surely doesn't really think this slave identity is just talk, does he?

Even if Bai Zifeng had ten thousand unwillingness, he had no choice but to comply. His obedient demeanor left everyone stunned, and they all began to inquire about what had happened earlier in the Scorching Fire Domain.

Those who had witnessed the truth first began to embellish and spread it by word of mouth; soon everyone knew of Ye Qingran's and her children's achievements in the Heavenly Thunder Domain and the Scorching Fire Domain, sighing with emotion.

At that moment, the Sword Tomb suddenly emitted a strong light, ejecting those inside.

At the center of the Sword Tomb, the earth split open, black light leaked out, and a pitch-black treasure sword slowly rose from the ground, hovering above the Sword Tomb.
