Chapter 366

"Who are you?"

Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed; although her voice was grave, it was still as melodious as heavenly music.

Looking at the youth standing in the courtyard, her whole body tensed, because she saw in him the demeanor of one who looks down upon all living beings, as if a supreme Heavenly Emperor had descended to the human world.

This youth looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in ordinary clothes; no matter how one looked at him, he was just an ordinary mortal.

But his eyes were as brilliant as the sun and moon.

Seeing their group, he was not only not the least bit flustered, but instead was examining her with great interest, as if he already knew their identities and the secret of their arrival.

Yan Ruyu was secretly startled, and the people behind her were equally shocked; two old women quickly shielded her behind them.

Upon seeing Yan Ruyu, Yin Qi almost subconsciously performed a calculation.

Yan Ruyu, descendant of the Green Emperor.

She smiled and said, "Little friend, where are your elders? This is the depths of the primitive ruins, with many demonic beasts; it is very dangerous. Be good, call your elders and go back with them."

This was Yin Qi; if they captured him, they might be able to obtain the sacred fruits and divine spring.

If it were an adult man, standing with hands behind his back would naturally have a certain demeanor.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the original work, the emergence of the Demon Emperor's tomb was clearly driven by the demon race led by Yan Ruyu, with the goal of obtaining the Green Emperor's heart within, as well as the Green Emperor's extreme imperial weapon, the Chaos Green Lotus.

Truly the woman from the original work who dared to constantly provoke Ye Fan; she really dared to say anything. Didn't you see that your mistress and the others were all looking as if they were facing a great enemy?

Yin Qi hummed lightly and said, "I can enter and exit the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land without hindrance, let alone here. If I am not mistaken, you are Qin Yao. As for this one, she must be Yan Ruyu, descendant of the Green Emperor."

Since he knew Yan Ruyu's identity, the purpose of their trip was naturally clear.

Qin Yao was graceful and charming, with a red mole between her brows that added a touch of allure to her.

Qin Yao exclaimed, "You have actually been staying here the whole time? We all thought you had gone to other domains long ago."

Before Yan Ruyu could speak, Qin Yao behind her laughed first.

Actually, thinking about it, it was normal; the tomb of a Great Emperor was something even a Quasi-Emperor would not dare to covet. Only Yan Ruyu, as the descendant of the Green Emperor, could possibly break the restrictions on the Demon Emperor's tomb and make it emerge.

"Pfft!"

"Yin Qi... wait, you are Yin Qi, that visitor from beyond the heavens?"

It was the two old women in front of her whose eyes flashed with a bright light, staring straight at Yin Qi, eager to try.

A look of surprise flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes.

Yin Qi's mouth twitched, almost breaking his composure.

Yin Qi said indifferently, "It doesn't hurt to tell you; my name is Yin Qi."

Qin Yao was also startled; this little brat actually knew them, and even said he could enter and exit the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land without hindrance. This couldn't be empty boasting, could it?

Only, there was one point Yin Qi was very puzzled about: why did Yan Ruyu want to make such a big fuss about letting the Demon Emperor's tomb emerge?

Wouldn't it be better to sneak in secretly and keep the treasures all to herself?

Yin Qi stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: "I have been living here for almost a year. You rushed here rashly, and yet you ask me who I am? Shouldn't you first introduce yourselves and apologize to me?"

But a twelve or thirteen-year-old youth, with fuzz still on his chin, imitating the way 'big shots' speak, looked ridiculous no matter how one looked at it.

Yan Ruyu's expression was cold as she asked again.

It was just that they were a bit unsure of Yin Qi's cultivation, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and their mission was of great importance, so it was not suitable to create extra complications.

The thoughts of the two old women naturally could not be hidden from Yin Qi.

He just swept a glance at them, and the two old women tensed up, fear flashing in their eyes, almost fleeing for their lives.

In the original work, the old woman beside Yan Ruyu couldn't even defeat Ji Haoyue.

Yin Qi looked at Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao again and said indifferently, "The most dangerous place is often the safest place. This place is rarely visited by people; they won't find their way here."

Qin Yao was easy-going and asked enthusiastically, "By the way, it is rumored that you have three sacred fruits and four bottles of divine spring. Have you finished taking them, and what effects did they have?"

She was purely curious and had no intention of coveting them.

Yin Qi said somewhat helplessly, "Of course I used them up. Actually, there wasn't any major effect; it just cleansed the marrow and improved my constitution."

"Hiss, cleansing the marrow and improving the constitution—and you say the effect isn't major!?"

Qin Yao was shocked.

Yan Ruyu and the others were the same.

One must know that in the Zhetian world, constitution is king.

Anything about the mortal body being the strongest is a joke.

Even Ye Fan had to accumulate nine lifetimes of effort to prove the Dao with a mortal body.

The stunningly talented Ruthless Empress also created the "Swallowing Heaven Devil Art" independently, and only after devouring the origins of countless divine bodies did she transform into a Chaos Body to prove the Dao.

Yin Qi ignored their shock and asked directly, "Are you here for the Green Emperor's tomb?"

Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice, "You know?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "I know a little, especially after you appeared, everything became clear."

"What do you want?"

Yan Ruyu asked in a deep voice, feeling a headache.

This person was too mysterious; although he came from beyond the heavens, his cultivation was profound, and even she felt immense pressure.

If they were to act, they would all be wiped out.

But if they didn't act, the other party clearly knew her goal, and it became impossible for her to lay out her plans calmly.

Yin Qi asked in confusion, "Since you can lure out the Green Emperor's mausoleum, why can't you enter it?"

He asked the question that had always existed in his heart.

Since Yan Ruyu could lure out the Green Emperor's mausoleum, why make such a scene that the whole world knew?

"You even know this!"

Yan Ruyu was truly shocked. She steadied herself and said, "I know the method to break the Great Emperor's restrictions around the ancestor's mausoleum, but the ancestor's mausoleum remains impregnable. With our current strength, we cannot open it."

Yin Qi asked, "But your demon race is not lacking in experts."

Yan Ruyu said indifferently, "My demon race is not lacking in experts, but there are very few I can trust."

Yin Qi nodded in realization; he finally understood.

When he read the novel, he was puzzled: this was a Great Emperor's mausoleum, and even small fries like the sect master of the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven dared to attack it and came out unscathed—it was simply a miracle.

Hearing Yan Ruyu say this, everything made sense.

An innocent man is guilty of his own treasure.

The demon race has always emphasized the law of the jungle; without people she could fully trust, Yan Ruyu naturally wouldn't take the risk.

The Green Emperor had disappeared for ten thousand years, and there were not many demon clans that still honored her lineage.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi said solemnly, "Rather than making various arrangements with all sorts of uncertainties in the future, why don't we join forces? The Green Emperor's weapon, the Green Emperor's heart, and even the Desolate Tower—I can give them all to you; I only want other things."

The Green Emperor's weapon and the Green Emperor's heart were tempting.

But the Green Emperor was still in the world; even if he obtained them, it would be very difficult to utilize their full potential.

As for the Desolate Tower, it was indeed obtained by the Green Emperor, but it was not in this mausoleum of his, because the Green Emperor had not truly passed away, but had suppressed the spirit of the Desolate Tower and opened up a small divine domain within it.

One must know that the Desolate Tower was an immortal artifact.

The Green Emperor wanted to evolve it into an Immortal Domain, but ultimately failed.

However, rumors in the world said that after the Green Emperor passed away, it became his funerary object.
