Chapter 530: Price (1/2)
In an instant, Ye Chuan was teleported outside the Great Monarch grave, returning to the tall mountain shrouded with dense mist.
He looked all around, but this place with mist spread all over was very quiet. This tall mountain with ancient graves everywhere in itself resembled a huge grave.
His wounds of stomach and shoulder were dripping with blood. Ye Chuan looked down and examined his wound and felt lucky. If the wound was a bit deeper, then he feared that the blade of Qing Tianhou might have cut him into two. But, he didn’t have time to waste, he immediately put away the golden sarcophagus and left without even wrapping the wounds.
Caught unprepared, the people were confused by the conch sound, but after a short time, they would wake up. If he didn’t leave now, then perhaps, he would instantly be surrounded.
The complexion of Ye Chuan was stretched taut. The 18 Demongods Banner was the earliest treasure sealed inside this Great Monarch grave and it might be the most valuable treasure there. Thus, people will not easily give it up. Sure enough, just after he left, many figures appeared outside the Great Monarch grave. Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were also among them.
“Chase, that kid is seriously injured, he has definitely not run far!”
“There is the blood trail on the ground, follow it, quick!”
Everyone shouted and spread out all over, wanting to kill Ye Chuan. Many ordinary loose cultivators also joined the ranks to chase Ye Chuan.
In the Great Monarch grave, numerous experts had been eyeing the golden sarcophagus, so they thought that it was even harder than reaching the sky to seize the golden sarcophagus. But now, it was different, experts had spread out all around, so there was a comparatively smaller number of experts to compete. In addition, they had the cover of mist. If they find Ye Chuan, then they might successfully obtain the golden sarcophagus. Ye Chuan was severely injured, so now, it was not whose cultivation was higher, rather who was luckier. If one was lucky, then they could seize the golden sarcophagus without anybody knowing!
The loose cultivators and devils that rushed out from the Great Monarch grave quickly went into action. Among them, there was no lack of very experienced yao beast hunters. They followed the blood trail of Ye Chuan in the midst of the thick mist. But, after chasing for a while, this blood trail disappeared.
Everyone worked together to search this mountain, but they still gained nothing. Even Qing Tianhou and Jiang Tunsheng, these two super experts, were also at their wits’ end. They could sense neither Ye Chuan’s aura nor his spirit fluctuation as if the latter had already left the racial holy land of Sea Demon Clan. Or perhaps, he fell into some kind of abyss and died. Even after searching again and again for several hours, and even searching the foot of the mountain, they gained nothing, so they had no choice but to climb up the mountain.
But the more they climbed up, the denser the mist, and the more powerful the restriction fluctuation was, thus it got harder to advance. But on the mountain, perhaps, there were more Great Monarch grave that no one had ever entered with many treasures sealed inside, so people gave up the chase and left in succession. But, Qing Tianhou and State Teacher Jiang Tunsheng were still standing opposite to each other in the midst of the dense mist. Don’t know when they met, but they were watching each other with a cold gaze as if they were about to fight to the death.
“At that time in Great Monarch grave, you obviously could have killed that brat, why did you let him go?”
Qing Tianhou fiercely glared at Jiang Tunsheng and his killing intent soared.
Caught unprepared, he was affected by the conch sound and felt dizzy for a moment, but he still severely injured Ye Chuan with his blade. At that time, although Jiang Tunsheng had also a chance to make a move, he just aimed at the Ye Chuan and let Ye Chuan escape without releasing his arrow. He just watched Ye Chuan disappearing into the time and space gate. This made Qing Tianhou hate Jiang Tunsheng, and he also was unable to understand his purpose.
“Qing Tianhou, since you didn’t have the ability to kill him even though you were so close to that kid, who else can do it? Moreover, at the last moment, you wanted me to shoot that heavily injured kid so that you can take advantage of that moment, and seize that golden sarcophagus?” Jiang Tunsheng sneered and paused for a moment, then added, “The thing I cannot obtain, don’t think that you can obtain it!”
“You……”
