Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 697 - Sneak Attack

Edited by Ea

Although the disciples of the Longyao Clan all looked down on Hai Kuanglang, no one took the initiative to come over and fight them. Not only did they treat Hai Kuanglang this way, but they also treated other disciples like this.

Yan Tianhen asked, “The Dragon Emperor said that only by killing other disciples of the Longyao family and absorbing their energy can one purify their own dragon bloodline; is that true?”

Zhan Fengting answered, “Naturally it’s true, but if you really did brutally murder your clanmates just to obtain the inheritance and bloodline, then which clan member would truly be willing to serve you in the future? Even if you obtain that strength, it will still be useless. Moreover, this is not the only way to get the inheritance.”

“That’s true.” Yan Tianhen nodded, agreeing very much.

The wind and snow were getting heavier.

Seeing Hai Kuanglang and his party walking towards the northeast from afar, Longyao Lingguang frowned and said suspiciously, “How can he go that way? Was it possible that they really stole the map of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land?”

As a Holy Maiden of the Dragon family, Longyao Yizhu was naturally protected by the Dragon God. She could enter the Dragon Tomb Holy Land without chanting and singing sacrificial words. If she does not violate the ancestral teachings and is not convicted of a crime, she will not be infringed by the wind and snow inside the Dragon Tomb.

Longyao Yizhu didn’t waste this identity at all. She entered the Dragon Tomb many times. After years, she actually drew a map of the entire Dragon Tomb Holy Land, which was enough to impress people.

Even if the map was lost, it was drawn by hand after all. The context of the map had long been deeply printed in the mind of Longyao Yizhu, and this time, the Holy Maiden also entered with Longyao Lingheng and others.

Longyao Yizhu narrowed her eyes, looking at the distant figures that loomed further and further away across the frost and snow, and said, “It’s very possible, let’s follow them and take a look first.”

As soon as the other disciples saw the team of Longyao Lingheng and Longyao Lingguang marching towards the northeast, many of them moved to follow them. Naturally, there were also many disciples who deliberately wanted to avoid these two evil gods, so they walked in the opposite direction.

They don’t know how far they travelled. The sea of ice was still boundless. If it weren’t for the magic compass in Lin Xuanzhi’s hand that was unaffected by the magnetic field, they probably would’ve lost their way long ago.

Losing their direction was merely a secondary problem. Right now, Yan Tianhen felt that he was really getting colder and colder. The gusts of wind sweeping the heavy snow kept whizzing past his ears. Even though he had reached Earth Realm’s Major Perfection Stage, his hands and feet were becoming really cold.

“Hiss–” Yan Tianhen was so cold that he jumped and stomped his feet a few times on the ice, then quickly rubbed his hands again and again.

Lin Xuanzhi turned his eyes and looked at Yan Tianhen. “Cold?”

Yan Tianhen said while shivering, “Don’t you guys feel cold? Why am I the only one about to freeze into a popsicle? Does this place have something against me, ah?”

Hai Kuanglang breathed a little misty sigh, he also felt it was strange. “No, this shouldn’t be. Although there is heavy snow and extremely low temperature here, it doesn’t contain much spiritual energy. Even Foundation Stage cultivators wouldn’t feel cold as long as they circulate their spiritual Qi internally.”

Yan Tianhen, “Don’t tell me your ancestors are playing with me on purpose, are they?”

Lin Xuanzhi: “...”

It was hard to say.

Who let Yan Tianhen peel off that Dragon Ancestor’s skin and almost kill the Dragon Ancestor’s entire clan in his last life? Now that the enemy had come to the Dragon Tomb, the Dragon God’s residual soul consciousness would naturally make him suffer some freezing temperatures.

But in any case, of course Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t bear to see Yan Tianhen staying so cold.

“Take this bead with you.” Lin Xuanzhi handed a faint blue bead to Yan Tianhen. “It’s a Wind Flame Bead that I found a few years ago. It can shelter you from the wind and the cold. Taking it with you will make your body warm.”

Hai Kuanglang’s eyelids tightened, staring at the bead. “A few years ago, I heard that a Wind Flame Bead appeared in the West Land’s Yue family, but it was stolen within a few days. Don’t tell me you got this bead from the Yue family?”

Lin Xuanzhi naturally wouldn’t admit that Reincarnation Palace took the deal and snatched it from the Yue family, so he said frankly, “I got it in the black market auction. As for its origin, I also don’t know.”

Hai Kuanglang couldn’t help but utter a ‘tsk tsk tsk’.

Yan Tianhen took the bead and his body suddenly warmed up. He no longer jumped and stomped, let alone shivered. He felt that he could walk hundreds of miles on the ice.

“I have a question.” Yan Tianhen asked, “Why can’t we fly with the sword? Wouldn’t it be faster?”

Hai Kuanglang replied, “I thought you would never ask, not even until you walk out of this place.”

Yan Tianhen: “...”

Zhan Fengting smiled. “There are restrictions in this land. If you fly with the sword, you will never fly out of this ice sea. You can only walk on the ground with your own two feet to the exit.”

Yan Tianhen looked at the vast road ahead and felt a little despair. “How many years would it take to walk out? Maybe my younger brother will already be born by the time I finally walk out.”

Hai Kuanglang was immediately amused. “It’s really hard to say. I only know that it took 30 years for the current Dragon Emperor to go out when he accepted the inheritance.”

Yan Tianhen immediately stared at him blankly. “Why didn’t you tell me this before?”

Hai Kuanglang: “You didn’t ask.”

Yan Tianhen: “...”

Zhan Fengting laughed in a low voice and said, “Don’t listen to your Second Shixiong scaring you. The Dragon Emperor couldn’t leave for 30 years only because he got lost inside the Dragon Tomb and couldn’t find his way out.”

Yan Tianhen sighed in relief, and the weight in his heart was finally gone.

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly said to Zhan Fengting, “You seem to know a lot about the Dragon Tomb Holy Land.”

Zhan Fengting’s eyes were gentle and slightly curved, like the moon hanging high in the sky. “If you were exiled into this Dragon Tomb for several hundred years, you would also know this place thoroughly.”

Hearing this, Hai Kuanglang turned his eyes and looked at Zhan Fengting. His eyes showed deep amazement. “Hundreds of years of exile? When did this happen?”

Zhan Fengting thought for a moment and answered, “Before you came to the Longyao family.”

Hai Kuanglang looked at Zhan Fengting’s gentle facial lines in confusion. For a time, he wanted to say a lot, but he didn’t know whether he should say it in front of Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen.

Just when Hai Kuanglang was hesitating and was full of doubts, a sword Qi suddenly came from behind. Hai Kuanglang quickly turned around and stretched out his hand, pushing forth a spiral water ball, which broke the sword Qi in an instant.

“Launching a sneak attack from behind us; how shameless. Longyao Lingheng, I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for many years, you would do this kind of shameless thing.” Hai Kuanglang showed contempt and looked down at Longyao Lingheng and his party.

”Don’t accuse my Dage!” Longyao Lingguang pointed his sword at Hai Kuanglang. “I released that sword Qi just now.”

“I knew it......” Hai Kuanglang glanced at Longyao Lingguang with an even more contemptuous look. “Such terrible and rotten swordsmanship. If you think about it, it definitely won’t be Longyao Lingheng.”

Longyao Lingguang: “...”

Whether it was tolerable or unbearable, Longyao Lingguang shouted angrily and waved his sword, intending to fight Hai Kuanglang to the death.

Yan Tianhen suddenly laughed happily.

“What are you laughing at?“ When Longyao Lingguang found that Yan Tianhen was laughing at him, he immediately turned his attack, pointed at Yan Tianhen, and said loudly, “Why are you guys walking this way?”

Yan Tianhen said, “This road doesn’t belong to you. Could it be possible that I have to get your permission just to walk on this road?”

“You–” Longyao Lingguang walked towards the other side bitterly and said, “Thief!”

“Who are you talking about? Keep your mouth clean. You can eat irresponsibly, but you can’t make baseless accusations. Didn’t your father teach you?” Yan Tianhen didn’t show any weakness and countered immediately.

Longyao Lingguang was so angry that his face became red and his neck stiffened up. “Aren’t you guys going this way only because you stole the map and saw the route? If not, you will definitely be like everyone else, stumbling around blindly or following us and taking advantage of us, rather than heading straight to the northeast. Say, isn’t it because you stole the map!?”

Longyao Lingguang vowed that he had too much trust in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, thinking that apart from the Holy Maiden, no one else could figure out the road here.

Yan Tianhen had an expression of, “You’re fucking out of your mind.” He just wanted to say a few words back, but was held back by Lin Xuanzhi.

Lin Xuanzhi said indifferently, “I’ve never seen your so-called map. If there’s nothing else, we will leave now. The wind and snow are invading. Why stand here and be blown by the cold wind?”

Longyao Lingheng stared at Lin Xuanzhi for a while. Naturally, he didn’t want to provoke him. Even if he wanted to fight him to the death, it was definitely not at this time. Therefore, Longyao Lingheng said, “Huarong Sword Venerable is right. There are dangers everywhere in the Dragon Tomb. Let’s leave here first for the time being.”

Lord Yuxu seemed a little weak. He was wearing a thick cloak that had been sewn with Dharma symbols. He cast a glance at Lin Xuanzhi through the wind and snow.

“Let’s go,” Lord Yuxu said.

However, Yan Tianhen noticed Fu Li, who had the position of the tiger clan’s priest. There was no need to say more about Fu Li’s appearance. Very few people with high cultivation had ugly faces. It’s just that he didn’t seem to have a strong presence. He didn’t say a word from beginning to end, and his eyes are always closed gently. Yan Tianhen didn’t know whether he couldn’t see or didn’t want to open his eyes. Even Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t tell.

Hai Kuanglang was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by a person.

“Wait.” Longyao Yizhu took a few steps forward and said, “Hai Kuanglang, you are obsessed with seizing this position for your mother. Even if you get the inheritance, I will never marry you. My stance hasn’t changed — if you don’t fight or snatch the position, after Lingheng gets the inheritance and becomes the next Dragon Emperor, I will definitely plead on your behalf so that you can bury your mother in the Dragon Tomb and so that her soul can get the protection of the Dragon God.”

Hai Kuanglang’s gaze coldly swept across Longyao Yizhu. He curled his lips and smiled. “The Holy Maiden doesn’t have to worry about me. Who said I was fighting for this position just for my mother? What I want to see even more is that you people, who were originally so high above me, would crawl under my feet from now on, with faces full of grievances but still be forced to endure silently. Wouldn’t that be cooler?”

“You–” Longyao Yizhu paused, and after a while said, “In that case, then we have nothing more to say to each other. I kindly advise you — the roads on the map are not all true. If you follow the map completely, you will only kill yourselves.”
