Xufu sat down solemnly in the vast and wide golden hall. His originally tightly shut eyes were opened by a sliver. Apart from surprise, there was a bit of killing intent.

So quick! 10 years and he was the overlord of the Cloud World. As expected, he wasn’t stupid. However, did he really think he didn’t dare to kill him?

The light in his eyes flashed brightly. However, his killing intent was suppressed in the end.

Zhongxuan, who sat behind him, said in confusion, “The artifact in the north has already been snatched. Why isn’t Master stopping him?”

Beside the other Avici Throne was a man in black armor who was looking at Xufu with a sharp gaze, his eyes filled with questions.

This guy was different from the other corpse generals; he seemed really young, and his skin was not deathly grey. Instead, it was transparent like white jade, no different from a living person.

“After all, Zong Shou is the Ruler of Great Gan, the current Saint Ruler. Great Shang Emperor’s Dragon Energy is weakening, and the Dragon Formation is already breaking apart. I can only capture this kid for his Dragon Energy but I have no confidence in doing so. If this person escapes, then it will be a problem.”

Xufu explained. Naturally, this reason was far from enough.

“Since this person could kill Daoxuan, naturally he can harm me. At this moment, since we don’t know how strong he is, it isn’t smart to attack him! I am in charge of the revival of the Qin Emperor. Even if I make a small mistake, the outcome could be catastrophic. I really don’t dare to take such a risk!”

That was the only possible reason.

The black-armored general thought about it for a moment before he scoffed coldly, “There will be no next time! We can’t lose any of the last eight artifacts! If not…”

He didn’t continue, holding onto his six feet sword, guarding the corpse of the Qin Emperor like a piece of stone.

Zhongxuan smiled. He asked not because he didn’t understand, but because he was coordinating with Xufu.

He had guessed the reason why Xufu didn’t attack.

With the strength of Common People’s Path, not offending them was one reason. If the Qi Cultivators wanted to become strong, then the more chaos in the world, the better.

If he killed Zong Shou, then wouldn’t the Shang Family or the Shi Family monopolize everything?

After the Qin Emperor revived, for the few of them to leave here safely, they had to borrow his strength too.

One or two of the nine artifacts had to be destroyed.

There were many random reasons. One could say that Zong Shou had really attacked at a perfect time.

If it was some other time, he wouldn’t have been so lucky.

Xufu was really calm, not worrying about the threat from the black-armored teen. He said calmly, “General Li is too suspicious. Today, concerns my life and death, so how could I not be careful? The true danger will be in an hour from now. Xufu would be totally focused, so I can only depend on general!”

“I know that!”

The black-armored teen didn’t move. His aura was like stale water.

Zhongxuan looked over with a pitiful expression. If Xufu hadn’t personally said those words, who would have known that famous general Li Xin, who swept a country 10,000 years ago, would have been buried and trapped in a tomb along with the emperor, turning into a vengeful corpse?

Actually, that final battle wasn’t his fault. Due to the chaos at the back, the grain-line had been broken, resulting in defeat. It didn’t have anything to do with his strategy and skills as a general…

At this moment, Xufu looked behind him only to see that Yinyu had already woken up and was staring at the corpse of the Qin Emperor on the tomb. His eyes were filled with craving intent as well as crazy excitement.

Xufu’s lips instantly curled up.

Interesting… this Great Shang Emperor really wasn’t an ordinary person. He followed Zhongxuan here for a real reason.

However, today, with so many experts gathered here, it would be tough to say whether or not he could get what he wished for…

He shook his head slightly and continued to focus. He adjusted his energy meridians and drew from his life force.

With a loud explosion like thunder clapping, the surrounding spiritual energy started to move.

The bloodline within the Qin Emperor’s tomb started to move. The entire Dragon Formation became his body, giving off a shocking aura.

Only when the beating of his heart was no different from a normal person would the Qin Emperor, who unified the Cloud World 10,000 years ago, wake up.

※※※※

At the same time, Zong Shou’s heart stopped once more and started to twitch again.

He had gone through it twice, so Zong Shou had barely adapted to it. This time, he used just a dozen breaths to recover and adjust, reverting back to normal.

“The time intervals are getting shorter. His aura is becoming stronger and stronger…”

Maybe because he was not truly revived, the vast emperor aura and majestic soul power surged about like a mountain.

However, Zong Shou couldn’t be bothered anymore. He had obtained the revival artifact and had gone all out to do so.

As for what happened next, it was up to destiny. He was only going to wait for the outcome.

If the Taoist and Confucian Factions working together couldn’t get one artifact, then the world was going to be in chaos and the Qin Emperor would rise up once more.

At this moment, there was another riddle in the tomb that awaited him to unravel.

“Xue’er, do you still sense something?”

Zong Shou retracted his spiritual sense. At this moment, within 10 miles, even a slight movement wouldn’t go unnoticed from his eyes and ears.

Chuxue shook his head, “It disappeared when the Heaven Essence Wuji Ring was stolen. However, Xue’er still feels really uneasy. Let’s not stay here for too much longer…”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed. Then, he temporarily suppressed the questions in his heart.
