NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 52
Chapter 52 The Objective is to Make Good Friends, Xiao Yan’s Plan (4)
“Yes, yes, I understand… That elder from the Huan Yan Ancient Sect said I have some kind of Immortal Spirit bloodline. I’ll definitely become very powerful in the future.”
“Hehe, when we were in the Fallen Dragon Valley, I secretly hid that dragon bone. I’ll definitely become a great cultivator who can fly and move mountains, then I’ll find the immortal brother…”
Zhao Shao Yue’s eyes turned into crescents, revealing her small tiger teeth, looking very happy after hearing Wang Yu’s words.
“These mining slaves died because of us. Let’s bury them properly so they can rest in peace.”
“While it’s still dark, we should leave here as soon as possible. The Huan Yan Ancient Sect won’t let us go and will definitely send more people after us…”
Wang Yu sighed, looking at the many corpses around them.
Today’s events had further solidified her resolve to pursue the Dao.
The vast and mysterious world was just beginning to reveal itself to her.
The elder from the Huan Yan Ancient Sect had concluded that she couldn’t cultivate, saying that even if she broke through the Flesh Body Realm, she wouldn’t be able to open her Spirit Sea, and that her physique wasn’t suitable for cultivation in this era.
Even ancient dao lineages and supreme sects wouldn’t waste resources on her.
But Wang Yu didn’t believe it. When she accidentally swallowed that dragon egg, she felt a brilliant golden sun ignite within her, illuminating the dark depths of her Niwan Palace.
Eventually, it settled into silent nothingness.
She felt her physique wasn’t simple; the human body held great secrets, waiting to be uncovered.
“A legendary dragon egg, its value unimaginable and rarely mentioned in ancient texts. Even the most powerful cultivators wouldn’t dare refine it. Yet, as a mortal, I managed to swallow it…”
“There are many questions. My fate is mine to decide, not anyone else’s.”
Wang Yu’s gaze was firm, her delicate and beautiful face filled with determination.
Soon, under the moonlight, she and Zhao Shao Yue buried the corpses around them and then headed out of the Shenxu Ancient Mine.
They planned to hide in a small sect for a while, gain some strength, and then consider their next steps.
When they accidentally entered the Fallen Dragon Valley, they found several map-like fragments and ancient weapon shards with strange engravings, possibly recording something.
They planned to revisit those after settling down.
Meanwhile, after leaving the mining area, Jiang Minghan led his followers back to Blackstone City to rest for the night, planning to return to Nanque Sacred City the next day.
On the way, Qing Xuzi had confirmed the location of the ancient mining area dug up by their ancestor 50,000 years ago.
Jiang Minghan had seen it himself but didn’t intend to take the risk.
A Divine Source Master’s tomb contained many treasures but also many dangers.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan was there to break into the tomb first, so Jiang Minghan could reap the benefits later.
Everything was going according to Jiang Minghan’s plan.
As for Wang Yu and Zhao Shao Yue, Jiang Minghan put the matter aside, no longer concerned.
Earlier, when Wang Yu faced a life-threatening situation, Jiang Minghan had sensed a surge of power within her, ready to explode.
So, even if he hadn’t saved her, she likely wouldn’t have died.
For children of fortune, breaking through or having a surge of power in critical moments was normal.
Jiang Minghan had merely earned some goodwill and formed a good relationship, with a goal of making friends and being kind.
At this moment, Nanque Sacred City was brightly lit.
Palaces and pavilions stood along the streets, shrouded in mist, exuding grandeur.
After much persuasion and reassurance from Xiao Yan, Xiao Ling finally agreed to take him to meet the team leader.
They walked along the streets, both in simple disguises.
Even those familiar with them would find it hard to recognize them.
Xiao Yan was very cautious, worried that Jiang Minghan had people watching him. He used secret techniques to alter his height and build.
He also concealed his aura, making it hard for anyone but the strongest cultivators or those skilled in soul techniques to detect him.
“The team is called the Hongxiao Squad. The leader’s name is One-Eye, and he has four powerful subordinates, all at the King Realm. There are also others at the Marquis Realm and Dharma Statue Realm…”
“If you really want to work with him, you must think it through,” Xiao Ling said seriously, looking worried.
Xiao Yan looked at her, nodded, and promised, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. I won’t let the team leader harm you…”
This was his promise to Xiao Ling. After all, Xiao Ling had accidentally learned One-Eye’s secret and had been hunted because of it.
Returning now would be like walking into a trap.
Despite Xiao Yan’s assurances, Xiao Ling still looked worried.
Soon, they reached an old, dilapidated house in the inner city, a desolate and abandoned area.
Sensing their approach, two figures jumped out of the darkness, holding knives and looking fierce.
“Who goes there? How dare you trespass on Hongxiao’s territory?”
They were at the Divine Ability Realm, staring coldly at Xiao Yan and Xiao Ling, ready to strike at any moment.
“It’s me, Xiao Ling.”
Though clearly fearful, Xiao Ling stepped forward and said, “I want to see the leader.”
“Hmm?”
“Well, well, you dare come back? Aren’t you afraid of being killed by the leader?”
Seeing Xiao Ling, the two figures sneered, their words filled with mockery.
“And who’s this? Your lover?”
They pointed their knives at Xiao Yan, eyeing him suspiciously.
“He’s my companion. We have important business with the leader. If you don’t want to be punished, don’t waste time…” Xiao Ling said coldly, taking a deep breath.
Hearing this, the two men hesitated and then allowed them to pass, not daring to delay.
Soon, they reached the dilapidated house and met One-Eye, the team leader.
Sitting on a large tiger-skin chair, One-Eye was burly and imposing, with a scar running across his face, leaving him with only one eye.
His half-step False God Realm aura was oppressive, making Xiao Yan’s expression change slightly.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Xiao Yan planned to discuss excavating the ancient tomb outside the Shenxu Ancient Mine with One-Eye.
“You dare come back? Haha, aren’t you afraid of death?”
One-Eye sneered at Xiao Ling, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, saying, “Is this the person you said could help me?”
Xiao Ling’s face turned pale, struggling under the pressure of the False God Realm aura.
“Yes.”
She gritted her teeth, putting her hope in Xiao Yan.
“Oh?”
One-Eye looked at Xiao Yan with interest, “A Flesh Body Realm? Haha, are you joking? How can this guy help me?”
He was disdainful, not taking Xiao Yan seriously.
“Haha, a Divine Ability Realm weakling, bringing a Flesh Body Realm guy, saying they can help the leader? Are you trying to make us laugh to death?”
The other Hongxiao Squad members laughed, openly mocking them.
