Chapter 2167: The Start Of The Storm (1/2)

Going northward was useless for the ginseng while being under the ray of the mirror.

“No, it’s going for the abyss!” An older expert was startled after this realization: “It’ll be problematic if it hides there!”

“Come, we’ll cut it off, let’s surround Ivory Gap Mountain first.” Silver Fox and Grand Tutor stopped chasing behind the ginseng and decided to lead their legions ahead.

In just a short time, many legions appeared right after the set of mountains. Silver Fox and Grand Tutor’s groups were blocking the entrance resembling the missing tooth, waiting for the ginseng to come.

Not even water could get through this blockade. Some sects were placing traps for the ginseng to come in.

“It’s here!” People could see the ray of the mirror following something in the distance; a strand of blood would occasionally flash. Their speculation was correct - the ginseng was indeed heading for the abyss with Chu Qingling right behind it - h.e.l.lbent for a successful capture.

The troops outside became tense. They focused up, ready to capture it.

“Buzz.” Suddenly, the strand of blood disappeared altogether. Even Han Feng who has been watching it the entire time was surprised. He swept his ray across the area again but finally failed this time around.

“Something is strange, a more powerful ent.i.ty is blocking my mirror, way too mighty.” Han Feng told Chu Qingling: “This mirror is left behind by Ancient True Emperor, not too many things in this world can stop it.”

The speaker was nonchalant about the statement but the listeners were astounded. Han Feng was only casually telling Chu Qingling but this shocked the ancestors from the great powers.

Who was Ancient True Emperor? The number two in the system outside of Insane Ancestor. This could only mean one thing - something even more powerful than him was stopping his artifact.

There was only one person in history that matches this description - Insane Ancestor!

The lost primordial treasure! These ancestors all thought about this item. This was their goal for coming here.

“Set up camp!” They gave the order to Grand Tutor and Silver Fox in order to seize the best locations first.

Once the treasure showed up, they would use any means necessary to take it.

On the other hand, Chu Qingling wasn’t that interested in the primordial treasure and remained focus on finding the ginseng.

“It must be hiding around here, set up camp then go search.” The other legions also followed suit.

However, unlike these legions, the troops from Upper Faction and Sacred Inst.i.tution remained in waiting. Their goal was the primordial treasure; the ginseng was just the icing on top if possible.

“Bam!” Suddenly, a person leading a group jumped to a particular mountain and broke its side, revealing a cave inside.

“It’s the Peng Clan Master!” The troops occupying this mountain immediately recognized this group.

So it turned out that Shengping who was guarding the cave became scared after seeing so many legions. He secretly used a method to hide it.

He was afraid that any disturbance might risk Li Qiye to qi deviation. However, his method was not enough to fool a few people, especially those who were purposely trying to find Li Qiye!

The Peng Clan was certainly one of them. Their young lord died to Li Qiye so they swore to never give up, especially the clan master. He wanted nothing more than to kill Li Qiye then sacrifice his corpse to his dead son.

His hatred made sense since he only had one son, and the boy was conceived during his later years. Thus, he pampered the boy but now, his son had died to a n.o.body. How could he not seek out revenge?
