Chapter 36: The Immortal Realm Cultivator’s Inheritance

Based on the trail of blood and the color of the corpses at the scene, the massacre had likely taken place one or two days ago.

The bodies belonged to those who had either entered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to train or those who accompanied them.

Initially, Qin Yu thought that they had encountered some terrifying beasts and were slaughtered by them. Upon examination, their wounds were not caused by monsters or beasts but by human attacks. They had actually fought against each other. A few corpses lay in close proximity to each other. They perished together. One man’s knife hacked into the other’s head while the other man had his sword lodged into the other man’s chest.

What caused this terrible massacre? There could only be one answer—these men found incredible treasures here.

It was normal in the Ancient Continent of Wu for cultivators to turn against each other and kill in order to obtain treasures.

This fact was undeniable. Not far away, in a cave that was half caved-in, there were more corpses on both sides where the trails of blood were even more prominent.

Currently, Ye Siyu stood in front of the cave and stared at it indifferently. Her gaze swept over the bodies with contempt as she laughed sardonically.

“Splitting their scalps open over a mere Immortal Realm Cultivator’s inheritance, how pathetic!”

It was indeed funny to her since there wasn’t an obvious difference between an Immortal Realm Cultivator and an ant. In her eyes, his inheritance was equivalent to trash.

However, it never occurred to her that an Immortal Realm Cultivator was viewed as a God by these cultivators. They would go crazy and fight to the death over the inheritance even if it was some useless, spoilt sword.

“Hmph, I came here for nothing. What a waste of my time!”

The reason Ye Siyu personally came here was because she felt something was taking place at this particular location. She wanted to see for herself what it was, however, who knew it would turn out to be such a letdown!

With disappointment, her fair and slender finger swiped through the air. No booming sound threatening to rock the earth and sky sounded. Nor were there any sparks of light. The only sound caused by the movement was the sound of air being torn apart.

Soon, a rumbling noise sounded as the cave quickly crumbled. The opening of the cave was soon covered and sealed tightly. From then on, the remains of the Immortal Realm Cultivator’s inheritance would be buried underground.

Qin Yu and Murong Yue stared as Ye Siyu buried the site of remains and could only sigh helplessly.

After burying the abode, Ye Siyu spun around and cast her indifferent gaze on Yi Fei who laid on the ground, unconscious. She then turned toward Qin Yu with a strange grin which made Qin Yu’s heart and liver quiver. What the hell? What did she want to do?

“Young lad, you wanted to save her, so I brought her above ground. Now, do what you need to do.” The smile continued to hang on her face as it changed from a creepy one into a sinister one.

Qin Yu thought to himself, If I have to take care of the remaining things myself then so be it. Is there a need to grin like that? This woman. Based on his understanding of this woman from his past, once she started smiling like that, there was bound to be something problematic. Hence, he hesitated before he spoke.

“Is there a problem?”

“A problem? You will know in the future. Haha!” Ye Siyu laughed without precedent, causing Qin Yu to feel rather uncomfortable. He subconsciously stole a glance at Yi Fei who was still in a coma. What was going on with this woman?

“Fine, I’ll stop teasing all of you. I’m leaving now so you should take ample care of yourselves. Little girl, bear in mind the assessment to become my true disciple in one year’s time! I will constantly check up on you. Young lad, take care of that girl on the floor. Haha~!”

Her figure had already disappeared while her laughter still resounded in the air. It echoed within the forest and made Qin Yu and Mu Rongyue rather uneasy.

“Hey! Wait…!” Qin Yu remembered that there was something they still didn’t understand yet. Where did the Yin Demon’s Qi from the forbidden area originate from? Ye Siyu would definitely know the answer to this. Sadly, she had already left. No one could stop her anyway, so Qin Yu could only shake his head helplessly.

Mu Rongyue was worried about Yi Fei. “Da Ge, according to Senior, it seems as if something might happen to Yi Fei Jie Jie.”

Qin Yu grunted as he spoke with disdain. “Hmph, that neurotic woman! Don’t mind her, let’s bring Yi Fei back before discussing anything.”

He could only bring Yi Fei back underground since she was brought above ground.

“En,” Mu Rongyue agreed.

*Sigh* Qin Yu let out a depressed sigh as he said, “I hope we can return in time.”

Mu Rongyue paused for a moment. With her intellect, she could guess Qin Yu’s thoughts almost immediately.

“Da Ge, are you referring to the Martial Examination’s pre-selection? It’s fine even if you can’t make it in time. With your abilities, I can acquire you a spot as a seeded player so you can directly proceed to the King City’s finals.”

As a princess, this was the least she could do for him.

However, Qin Yu was reluctant to rely on the connections of others. He wanted to prove himself using his own abilities in order to rid himself of his shame.

At Luosang City, there was a very famous street near the Governor’s Hall named “Street of the Talented.”
