Chapter 2247 - Threatened

The short old man’s voice was very sharp, it resembled the sound of an electric drill and caused goosebumps when people heard it. In addition to his appearance, it was very horrifying. The pressure of his Emperor’s strength was released slightly and the people around him bent slightly from their waists. However, this didn’t include the two of them.

The short old man stared at Wu Qi Yao and Wu Xiao Dao with sharp eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly: These two Divine Rank people didn’t even change their expressions under the pressure of his Emperor strength.

Wu Xiao Dao felt that this was a close call. She had only just mentioned that she wanted to capture two Emperors for research and they met one immediately. Also, it was obvious that the other party had heard their conversation.

As for the coercion of his Emperor’s strength, she didn’t feel it at all. She and Wu Qi Yao were used to situations like this.

“I’m asking you something, is it true what you said about there not being an Eminent’s mausoleum here?” The short old man asked again.

“Yes.” Wu Qi Yao replied.

“Why are you so sure?” The short old man looked at him, the young man’s ability was not weak, not only did he know that the Eminent’s mausoleum wasn’t here, he could also withstand his coercion. He wondered which family’s Young Master had come out to play.

At this thought, he withdrew his coercion.

Wu Qi Yao didn’t hide anything, he told him that he had analysed the whole central area of the Sacred Deer Mountain and continued: “With feng shui like this, an Eminent wouldn’t choose this place.”

The old man didn’t speak after he heard his words, his sharp eyes were fixed on him, as if he were trying to distinguish whether he was telling the truth or not. Wu Qi Yao was not in a hurry, nor was he afraid and allowed him to stare at him in that manner. After nearly a minute, the short old man said: “Since you are so sure, do you know where the mausoleum is?”.

“No, I only know this because of coincidence. I didn’t analyse it myself. As for whether there really is an Eminent’s mausoleum here, I don’t know.” Wu Qi Yao said honestly.

Obviously, the old man didn’t believe what he had said. He looked around and all those who were watching the fun had fled in horror. Soon, there were just the three of them left.

“I believe you when you said there is no Eminent’s mausoleum here. What you have to do now is find the Eminent’s mausoleum in the Sacred Deer Mountain for me.”

“Why?” Wu Xiao Dao touched the back ring on her hand, she was thinking of calling them out.

“Because your two little lives are in my hands right now!” The short old man snorted coldly, “If you can find it, you live. If you can’t find it, I’m afraid you will become fertiliser for this Sacred Deer Mountain.”

“You’re threatening us?” Wu Xiao Dao raised her eyebrows. She had never been threatened before all her life. This first time was quite refreshing. But now was not the time to show her excitement. She paused, and her face sank: “What if there isn’t one here at all? Do you think we can conjure up one for you?”

“There must be one here, but just like you said, it is not in the centre of the mountain.” The short old man said decisively. There was someone to rely on now.

The short old man saw the clear looks on their faces but didn’t explain anymore.

He had reliable information in his hand that there was an Eminent’s mausoleum in Sacred Deer Mountain. At first, he along with everyone else thought that it was in the centre of the mountain. However, he had searched for months, and after he had carefully compared the information he had on hand, he dismissed the idea.

Sacred Deer Mountain was very big, the mausoleum was buried underground but he didn’t know which area it was in. In order to obtain more information, he had purposely created a commotion here, then spread the news of the Eminent’s mausoleum in order to attract more people to come and see if they could find anything.

He hadn’t expected that after waiting for so long, the people who came just walked around the centre of the mountain range and didn’t find anything else. Just as he was reflecting on his inappropriate behaviour under the big tree, he heard the conversation between those two people.

Unexpectedly, the two people were very young, but they revealed the secret of the Eminent’s mausoleum in one sentence. Since this person could tell at one glance that the Eminent’s mausoleum was not here, he could discover the real location of the Eminent’s mausoleum. What’s more, their strength was not high and there were no powerful people around, so it would be easy to control them.

It would be easy to kill them if they were to resist. The news that the Eminent’s mausoleum was not in the centre of the mountain mustn’t be spread!

Wu Qi Yao never showed a trace of panic. He pulled Wu Xiao Dao behind him, then looked at the old man calmly and said: “You are going to kill us after we find the mausoleum for you, aren’t you?”

“Hehe, you may be young, but you are quite smart.” The short old man smiled strangely,” You’re right, you only have two options now. If you insist on defying me, then I will make sure you keep this secret forever.”

Having said that, he stared at the two of them with murderous eyes, with the meanign that he would kill them if he had to repeat himself again.

Wu Qi Yai hesitated for two seconds, then he nodded: “I will take you to find it.”

The short old man was not surprised by his decision. His figure flashed and he appeared behind the two of them like a ghost. He grabbed one of their hands each, then disappeared with them from the spot.

Sima You Yue was sitting on a branch of the tree that the short old man had appeared from. If the short old man was there, he would have been surprised.

How had someone managed to get so close to him and yet he didn’t notice it!

Sima You Yue called out Little Roar. Before she could speak, Little Roar said hurriedly: “Yue Yue, the two children have been abducted, why are you still sitting here leisurely?”

“Don’t worry, their lives are not in danger for the time being.” Sima You Yue was not worried at all. Since that person had kidnapped them for the purpose of finding the mausoleum, he wouldn’t change his mind so quickly. Even for a Seeker Spirit Master like her, finding the mausoleum wasn’t something that could be done in a short time.

Therefore, that short old man would give them some time. Besides, the way Wu Xiao Dao was twisting her fists earlier, she was afraid that she was probably still immersed in the novelty of being kidnapped. She hadn’t experienced enough yet and she would be unhappy if her Mother had rescued her.

Even Wu Qi Yao didn’t show any signs of fear, she wondered why he had agreed to go to find the mausoleum with the short old man.

Little Roar understood what she said and didn’t pester her. Instead, she asked: “Yue Yue, is there really an Eminent’s mausoleum here?”

“That’s why I asked you to come out.” Sima You Yue rubbed his body twice and said: “You are usually the most eloquent, so this time I want you to inquire with the spirit beasts in the mountain and find out what is so special about the Sacred Deer Mountain.”
