Chapter 2039 - 2039 Pursuit

2039 Pursuit

Tang Ke.

Chu Liuyue was naturally familiar with this name.

Tang Ke was once the top armory refinement master in the world! No, to be precise, after Tang Ke, there had been no one comparable to him for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, he was the strongest one!

!!

Of course, there was also Mr. Su. However, Mr. Su came and went in a hurry. Apart from his battle with Tang Ke and refining five holy weapons, there was no other relevant news circulating in the world.

They didn’t even know Mr. Su’s name, so how could they find an opportunity to investigate?

Therefore, in comparison, the people of the world knew more about Tang Ke and respected and yearned for him.

“Tang Ke’s tomb? Didn’t he disappear not long after the battle back then? Why are you suddenly saying that you found his tomb now?” Chu Liuyue was very shocked.

Shangguan Jing sighed. “That’s right! Back then, Tang Ke was a world-shaking talent. He was so awe-inspiring in the entire God Residence Realm! Unfortunately, after that shocking battle, he didn’t make any more movements. Not long after, he disappeared without a trace. It was said that even the Tang family didn’t know his whereabouts. He didn’t appear even when the Tang family was in chaos. After that, everyone finally believed that he should have died.”

“As for when he went and where he was buried, no one knows. It was only not long ago that there was news that someone found Tang Ke’s tomb.”

Chu Liuyue asked, “Then… where is that person’s tomb?”

“According to the rumors, it seems to be near Qinggu Slope.”

“Qinggu Slope? The Wei family’s territory?”

Chu Liuyue remembered this place. It was Wei Xiping’s family, and it was also a famous first-rate family in the God Residence Realm.

Shangguan Jing nodded his head. “Once this matter is out, the entire God Residence Realm will be shocked. Now, many armory refinement masters should already be planning to go.”

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. “Will the Wei family be willing?”

After all, it was their place.

Moreover, Tang Ke’s tomb… Who knew if there would be any treasures left behind by Tang Ke inside?

This was extremely tempting to any cultivator.

Shangguan Jing placed his hands behind his back and chuckled. “Of course, they won’t be. However, the news has spread all over. How could they?”

Chu Liuyue understood.

That’s right. After Tang Ke disappeared, the Tang family fell apart. Countless aristocratic families joined forces to kill them just to obtain the treasure or inheritance left behind by Tang Ke.

Now that Tang Ke’s tomb had appeared, who wouldn’t be tempted?

There were probably many people who wanted to participate in this competition. No matter how powerful the Wei family was, how could they go against everyone’s wishes?

“The Wei family is quite smart. They know that they can’t monopolize it, so they decided to compete openly. In half a month, everyone who wants to investigate Tang Ke’s tomb will gather at Qinggu Slope and act together. At that time, whoever has the ability to open Tang Ke’s tomb and obtain the treasures or inheritances left behind will belong to them!”

Chu Liuyue laughed. “The Wei family’s desire to live is quite strong.”

Comparatively speaking, being so open and fair was indeed the best solution. No matter how unwilling they were, this was all they could do.

“So this time, I plan to go personally,” said Shangguan Jing seriously.

Chu Liuyue raised her eyes. I rarely see such an expression on her ancestor ‘s face. That’s right—it is Tang Ke’s tomb after all!

Ancestor is an Armory Refinement Master, so he naturally can’t resist such temptation.

“But… will this trip be too dangerous?” questioned Chu Liuyue after some deliberation. “The benefits are tempting. It’s hard to guarantee that no one will have any crooked ideas—”

“It’s inevitable. How can the path of cultivation be smooth-sailing forever?” Shangguan Jing laughed, quite open-minded.

“Girlie, you also know that I have been stuck at the supreme Armory Refinement Master realm for too long…”

“But that’s because you’ve been sleeping in the middle—”

“No matter what the reason is, this is the reality.” Shangguan Jing shook his head and interrupted her. “Now that you’re the master of Peach Blossom Dock and can hold your own, I can rest assured. Yue’er, I really want to take a look this time.”

Chu Liuyue lightly heaved a sigh of relief.

Actually, she knew what her ancestor was thinking. After sleeping for a thousand years, there was only a wisp of soul waiting alone in the long period in between.

Now that he had finally woken up, he naturally wanted to go to the next level.

Besides, how proud was her ancestor back then? Tang Ke’s tomb was too tempting for him.

“Why don’t I go with you?”

Shangguan Jing laughed and rejected her. “Girlie, you’ve just returned, and now is the time to recuperate. How can you rush around? Moreover, there are many things in Peach Blossom Dock that need your attention.”

He patted Chu Liuyue’s arm. “Don’t worry. Apart from myself, there are a few others accompanying me this time.”

Chu Liuyue understood in her heart. Those who are going with him must be the few Armory Refinement Masters who have a close relationship with Ancestor.

She hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow.”

Chu Liuyue wasn’t surprised.

It would indeed take some time to travel from Peach Blossom Dock to Qinggu Slope. It was just right to set off tomorrow.

“Then, be careful,” Chu Liuyue exhorted seriously.

Shangguan Jing looked at his descendant and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile. “Ancestor has also explored the God Residence Realm before. Girlie, just rest assured!”

She keeps reminding me like I’m a child.

“Oh right, Chu Ning and Shangguan You should be here soon.”

When they came to Peach Blossom Dock previously, the two of them were at the critical moment of breaking through. Thus, they didn’t bring them along.

Chu Liuyue knew about this.

She nodded lightly.

...

…

The arrival of those people and fiends made Peach Blossom Dock livelier, especially those fiends.

Due to the previous chaotic environment in Peach Blossom Dock, fiends rarely appeared, and legendary fiends were even rarer.

Now that Chu Liuyue suddenly brought back a large batch, it naturally attracted the attention of the entire city.

According to Chu Liuyue’s instructions, Cen Yi specially chose a mountain area for them and ordered that no one was allowed to go near and disturb them for a month. After all, they had to recuperate.

Chu Liuyue’s idea was very simple. She would open the mountain region after they had all recovered.

At that time, if any cultivators wanted to contract fiends, they could give it a try.

If they were really capable, these fiends would naturally submit willingly.

After hearing Chu Liuyue’s words, everyone suppressed the excitement in their hearts and went back to cultivate.

In short, the cultivation atmosphere in the entire Peach Blossom Dock was in full swing.

…

...

In the evening, Chu Liuyue came to the realm gate again.

Wu Yao and Yu Jiu were guarding this place.

Ever since what happened last time, Cen Yi had changed to other people. Now, only the Thirteen Yue Guards were in charge here.

The duo already knew that Chu Liuyue and the rest had returned, but they didn’t expect her to come here not long after she returned.

“Master?” The two of them looked at each other worriedly.

They didn’t want the same thing to happen again.

Chu Liuyue waved her hand in response. “I just came to take a look.”
