Chapter 375: Yan Ruyu's Request

Ji Haoyue's eyes were cold and stern as he said in a deep voice, "No need. A momentary setback counts for nothing; I will only grow braver with every defeat."

The various elders spoke up in approval: "Good, Haoyue, we are very gratified that you have this mindset. A true powerhouse is strong not only in cultivation but also in an indomitable spirit."

"Let's go, we must continue to track Yan Ruyu."

"She has appeared here, and I fear the various factions will soon catch the scent and pursue. We must hurry."

……

"Yan Ruyu!"

Looking at the Beauty under the moon before him, Yin Qi was somewhat surprised.

He had only just returned to the courtyard when Yan Ruyu and the others came knocking: "The Ji Family is still hunting you down; why have you come to find me instead of fleeing?"

Yan Ruyu bowed gracefully and said, "It is precisely because of that that we have come to you, hoping you can escort us away. Or perhaps, help us evade the pursuit of the various factions."

Yin Qi was noncommittal, merely saying indifferently, "Why should I help you?"

"Good!"

Yan Ruyu smiled, her face brightening, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "There is no need to send you away; as long as we create a bigger piece of news to attract all the factions, you will naturally be safe and can leave on your own."

Yin Qi said: "Of course there is. Don't you find it strange that there were so few divine treasures in that Qing Di Sleeping Palace? Excluding the Emperor Weapon and the Qing Di Heart, its collection is likely not even as good as that of a Saint Lord-level powerhouse."

Yin Qi turned to the side and gestured with his right hand: "Come inside first, sit in the room."

"No need to thank me; I take people's money and resolve their disasters."

Yan Ruyu was half-doubting.

This was a matter concerning the Qing Di Weapon and the Qing Di Heart; could there be anything bigger than this?

Qin Yao and the others were equally puzzled, and they all frowned.

"Good!"

The main room.

Yin Qi's gaze sharpened, and he nodded immediately.

Ever since the Qing Di Sleeping Palace was exposed, various factions had been tracking her whereabouts. She had exhausted all kinds of methods, but in the end, she was still found by the Ji Family and blocked in this vicinity.

Yan Ruyu and the others entered the courtyard.

This was a drop of Imperial Essence Blood from the Qing Di Heart, with a value comparable to an Undying Divine Medicine.

If they could not leave as soon as possible, the various factions would surely swarm in.

"What do you mean?"

Before Yan Ruyu could speak, Qin Yao asked anxiously: "Little... Yin Qi, how do you plan to send us away?"

"Many thanks!"

Yan Ruyu was not surprised and said directly: "A drop of Imperial Essence Blood, a drop of Imperial Essence Blood from our ancestor's heart, how about that?"

By then, even if a Demon King from her Demon Race arrived, they would likely be powerless against the various factions.

Qing Di was the last Great Emperor of the Desolate Era, filled with endless legendary color.

How could his mausoleum contain so little?

"Take the Human Race's supreme treasure, the Desolate Tower, for example. It was part of Qing Di's collection, yet it is nowhere to be seen."

Yan Ruyu's eyes sharpened, and she nodded slowly: "You mean to say that our ancestor had another mausoleum? If so, that would make sense. This fake mausoleum was actually prepared by our ancestor for us descendants, which is why there was a method to open the sleeping palace."

In reality, she naturally had her own suspicions.

It was just that she had already obtained what she wanted most, and being hunted by various factions, hiding here and there, she had no time to think it through carefully.

Yin Qi shook his head: "You are right, but not entirely right."

"I have observed the mountain terrain around the Qingdi Tomb and discovered that what Qing Di laid out back then was a Yin-Yang Grave."

"One Yang and one Yin, holding and guarding the Taiji; the source of power, the heart, is buried in the Yang Grave, while the true cold corpse is buried in the Yin Tomb."

"The Yang Grave governs life and is hidden in the volcano's magma, which is the Ancient Palace we entered."

"The Yin Tomb governs death and is hidden in the Black Pool not far away, which is incomparably cold."

"Therefore, the Yin Tomb is the true Qingdi Tomb, and the Desolate Tower should also be inside."

"As long as this news is spread, the various factions will naturally go to pursue the Yin Tomb, and you will be able to leave at your leisure."

"The Yin Tomb, the Desolate Tower!"

Yan Ruyu's eyes sharpened, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No. That is our ancestor's true mausoleum; we must never let outsiders know, otherwise, wouldn't our ancestor's Imperial Body be desecrated?"

Yin Qi said: "I said earlier that the Yin Tomb governs death and is filled with murderous intent. Even if a true Great Emperor were to arrive in person, it would likely take some effort to open it. Relying on them, no matter how many lives they throw at it, it won't be enough."

"I see."

Yan Ruyu looked at Yin Qi for a long time before nodding slowly: "Good, we will do as you say. However, I hope you can personally escort us away afterward, just in case."

She had seen from afar when Yin Qi swept through the Ji Family.

In the Dragon Transformation Realm, he likely had few rivals.

As for the powerhouses of the Immortal Platform Realm, they would likely all go to the Yin Tomb to join the excitement, so the probability of encountering them was very small.

"That works too!"

Yin Qi thought for a moment and agreed.

Once the matter of the Yin Tomb spread, the Yan Kingdom would once again become the focus of the entire world, and he did not want to be exposed for the time being.

Moreover, he was also preparing to leave.

For example, to go to the Immortal Palace to obtain the Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi within;

For example, to go to the Taixuan Sect to obtain one of the Nine Secrets hidden on Zhuo Peak.

Afterward, he would go to the Northern Region to venture out; his own cultivation also required consuming massive amounts of resources, and he needed to find ways to obtain Source for cultivation. Furthermore, the Northern Region also held many divine treasures and opportunities.

………

The next day.

A sensational piece of news suddenly spread across all parts of Yan.

It turned out that the Qingdi Tomb was divided into yin and yang; the Ancient Palace that appeared earlier was merely the Yang Grave, prepared by Qing Di for his descendants, which was why Yan Ruyu and the others were able to enter and exit it without a sound.

The true Qingdi Tomb was actually the Yin Tomb, hidden within the Black Pool not far from the Volcano.

The legendary Desolate Tower, along with many of Qing Di's treasures, were in fact mostly buried in the Yin Tomb.

Although this news spread somewhat suddenly, as if someone were deliberately guiding it, it did not hinder those with ulterior motives from verifying it, because they had also entered the Ancient Palace, and given the grade of the Ancient Palace, it was truly somewhat unworthy of being a Great Emperor's mausoleum.

Therefore, saying the Ancient Palace was the Yang Grave and not the true Yin Tomb did make sense.

As people personally explored the Black Pool, the matter of the Qingdi Yin Tomb being hidden inside was finally confirmed, because a powerhouse of the Dragon Transformation Realm lost half their life when surfacing, saying that the underground of the Black Pool was covered in restrictions.

Boom!

At this, Yan boiled over, and subsequently, the entire Eastern Wasteland boiled over.

"The Yin Tomb, there is actually a Yin Tomb!"

"This is a Great Emperor's mausoleum, and it is rumored that our Human Race's supreme treasure, the Desolate Tower, is inside!"

"Throughout the ages, this may be the only imperial tomb we can ever come into contact with!"

"Qing Di dominated the world for ten thousand years; who knows how many peerless treasures he collected!"

Yan was already gathered with powerhouses, and major factions had sent experts to hunt down Yan Ruyu, but now they had no heart to continue hunting Yan Ruyu; opening the Qingdi Yin Tomb was more important.

They had all entered the Ancient Palace, and that Ancient Palace's space was narrow, completely insufficient to store a Great Emperor's collection, so the vast majority of Qing Di's divine treasures should be in the Yin Tomb.

The Yaoguang Sacred Land, Wanchu Sacred Land, and others—major factions gathered together.

A Great Emperor's mausoleum would make even a Quasi-Emperor go mad, let alone them.

Several days later.

When the various factions gathered at the Primitive Ruins, Yin Qi left with Yan Ruyu and the others; he used Heavenly Calculation to divine good and bad fortune, and used the spirits of his Acupoints to scout the path in all directions, quickly exiting Yan safely and entering Wei.

According to what Yan Ruyu said, they had a secret stronghold in Wei.

As for the Qingdi Yin Tomb, Yin Qi had no interest in participating.

In the original story, the various factions spent two years here, and in the end, after paying a painful price, they had to leave in dejection.
