"Eh, Brother Ku, why did you bring two juniors?
You don't want them to go in, do you? "Xie Ahua looked at Ku Pu in surprise.
Everyone else looked at Ku Wei.
The pressure on Ku Wei suddenly increased, and he subconsciously smiled in fear.
Ku Pu replied, "Speak for yourself."
Ku Wei coughed and walked forward, showing his hand. "Seniors, brothers and sisters, my apologies. My family sent a disciple to the Outerverse to carry out a mission, and I accidentally found the Yu bloodline. An elder from the Yu family gave me a spot to enter Progenitor Chen's tomb, so … cough cough, my apologies."
Everyone looked at Ku Wei in shock.
Xia Yi's tone was gloomy. "You found the Yu bloodline?
Who's still alive? "
Ku Wei was afraid of Xia Yi, as the Xia family's patriarch was a ruthless character. Ku Wei had heard of him before, and he hadn't even let his own son off. "No, I don't know him. He's an old man who could freeze himself at any time."
"You learned the Yu Secret Art?" You Kexin asked as she looked at Ku Wei.
Ku Wei shook his head and gulped. "No, I just received a spot."
"How did Lu Yin learn the Yu Secret Art?" Xie Xiaoxian asked.
Ku Wei shook his head. "I don't know."
"You don't know Lu Yin?" Xie Xiaoxian was puzzled.
Ku Wei carefully replied, "I know him. I'm the captain of the Great Yu Empire's Tenth Squadron."
"Don't talk about such embarrassing things," Ku Pu barked.
Ku Wei was startled, and he didn't dare say anything else.
"Are you close to Lu Yin?
Then you should know that he also learned the Plan Secret Art. How did he learn it? "Ce Jiu asked.
Ce Lao turned around and glared at Ce Jiu. "You talk too much."
Ce Jiu lowered his head.
Ku Wei pretended not to hear anything.
Xia Jiuyou looked at Ku Wei curiously. "Brother Ku, based on your understanding of Lu Yin, he was captured by the Neohuman Alliance. Can he escape?"
Everyone looked at Ku Wei when they heard this.
Even if Lu Yin was a junior, his existence had affected too many things. Not only had he unified the Outerverse, but he also had the shadow of Everlasting Island behind him. He was also a disciple of the Hall of Honor, and he also had Master Yuan's support. Furthermore, he had only cultivated for twelve years to reach his current level. Even a fool would not believe that there was no top-tier powerhouse behind him. Even the various family leaders of the Seven Courts had paid special attention to him.
The pressure on Ku Wei increased as everyone stared at him. He was hoping that Lu Yin would appear and help him share some of the pressure. Back then, they had clearly agreed to come to Progenitor Chen's tomb together and take down Ku Lei. The two brothers would then work together to kill everyone, but now, he was the only one left.
Ku Wei coughed once more and looked around. He saw Ku Lei's disdain, You Qin's disregard, Xie Xiaoxian's teasing, and Xia Jiuyou's arrogance, and he felt quite annoyed. His courage suddenly exploded, and he straightened his face. "Nonsense, of course I can escape."
Xia Jiuyou raised his eyebrows and looked at Ku Wei with an unfriendly gaze. This person's words were asking for a beating.
The rest of the people were surprised. How could a cowardly guy dare to speak like this?
Ku Wei regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He had offended Xia Jiuyou, but who told this guy to be so arrogant? Did he really think that he was invincible just because he had cultivated the Nine Clones Technique?
Furthermore, he could not stand the women's disregard, nor could he stand Ku Lei's gaze. He, Ku Wei, had relied on his own ability to obtain the opportunity to enter Progenitor Chen's tomb.
Ku Pu looked at Ku Wei in astonishment. He had originally looked down on this disciple, but at this moment, he somewhat admired him. At the very least, he had the courage to speak so loudly, which was quite good.
"Alright, I've asked what I wanted to ask. Come back," Ku Pu said.
Ku Wei returned to Ku Pu's side, somewhat excited. He had seen the family head's encouraging gaze. After so many years, the family head had never looked at him with such a gaze. The family head only had Ku Lei in his eyes, and even Ku Wei, who was second only to Ku Lei, was useless. But now, Ku Wei had seen some sort of hope, and he suddenly felt as if he had been unshackled.
Ku Lei's tone was gloomy as he said, "Once we enter Progenitor Chen's tomb, if anyone dares to hinder me, help me stall them. I won't mistreat you in the future."
"Go play somewhere else. Brother Wei wants to obtain the greatest inheritance," Ku Wei subconsciously replied.
Ku Lei was furious, and he glared at Ku Wei. "How dare you speak to me like that?"
Ku Wei pursed his lips, feeling a little flustered. However, he had already said those words, so he braced himself and looked away. That She Clan's descendant was so beautiful and dressed so skimpily. She was shameless, but Brother Wei liked her.
The more Ku Lei looked at Ku Wei, the angrier he became. "Just you wait. Don't think that you'll be reborn after entering Progenitor Chen's tomb. You'll always be beneath me."
Ku Wei was unhappy when he heard that. "Brother Wei likes women. Go play somewhere else."
Ku Wei clenched his fists and snorted.
Ku Wei had already said those words twice, and he was no longer afraid of Ku Lei. He turned around and sneered, angering Ku Lei so much that he almost attacked him.
"Although no one will come to the burial garden this time, the Hall of Honor will," Xia Yi said from afar, his tone still gloomy.
Xia Yi's words shocked Ku Wei and the other juniors. The Hall of Honor could actually send people into Progenitor Chen's tomb?
Why?
The Seven Courts had joined forces to resist the Hall of Honor. Now, they were actually allowing the Hall of Honor to enter. This was strange.
However, the various family heads were not surprised.
"There's no other way. We need that spot," Hui Zhi said.
You Kexin looked at Hui Zhi. "Is it worth it?"
Hui Zhi answered seriously, "It's worth it."
"Tell me more," Ku Pu said.
Hui Zhi smiled. "I can't say."
Ku Pu was unhappy. This was the same situation again. The family heads did not know about the Mountain and Sea Realm, and they also did not know what the Hall of Honor's spot was for. They only knew that there was a spot for observation, and the oldest powerhouse of the family had ordered that someone be placed on the list. However, they did not know what this list was for.
Ce Lao was helpless. Hui Zhi was still so tight-lipped.
"Although I can't say much, there is one thing I can tell you." Hui Zhi looked around and said solemnly, "Those who are not on the list have almost zero chances of reaching the Progenitor realm. Those who are on the list have more than a one percent chance of reaching the Progenitor realm."
Xie Ahua was shocked. "So we have a chance?"
"The Sixth Mainland's sky has changed, so we all have a chance." Ku Pu was unhappy.
Hui Zhi smiled. "That's why I said the chances are almost zero. If the Sixth Mainland's sky is still here, then none of us will have a chance of reaching the Progenitor realm. However, those who are on the list still have a one percent chance of reaching the Progenitor realm."
Xia Yi and the others were shocked. This meant that the list was not under Heaven's control.
How was that possible?
Hui Zhi calmly said, "For the sake of a nearly impossible possibility, the Hui Clan is willing to bet everything on it. That watch list doesn't just include the Human Domain, but also the Technocracy and Astral Beast Domains. Do you all understand how important this is?"
No one said anything else. If they did not understand, they would be fools.
The simplest meaning was that the list was for the entire Fifth Mainland, not just for the Hall of Honor. Only the Hall of Honor could make it.
This was the Hall of Honor, the ruler of the Human Domain.
Over the countless years, the Seven Courts had worked together, but they had also competed with each other. Many conflicts had accumulated, and Ce Jiu, Ku Lei, and the others had fought against each other in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
During the few days that Progenitor Chen's tomb had been opened, the various clan leaders had been mocking each other, making oblique accusations. Ku Wei and the others were stunned, as they had never thought that the usually serious clan leaders would have such a side to them.
Only when the Hall of Honor's representatives arrived did they stop.
In front of outsiders, they were definitely working together, especially when facing the Hall of Honor.
The Hall of Honor had sent Mu En. The Head of the Radiant Virtue Tribunal was quite popular, and he smiled at everyone he met. Everyone felt comfortable around him.
Following Mu En were the Tearful Lady and Shu Jing.
This was not outside of the Seven Courts' expectations. The Hall of Honor's top disciple, the Prime Clear, cultivated the Three Yang Ancestral Qi, so there was no need for her to enter Progenitor Chen's tomb. The Tearful Lady was slightly lacking, but not by much. As the third disciple, Shu Jing was much weaker than the Tearful Lady and the Prime Clear, so it was only natural that she would be sent to Progenitor Chen's tomb.
The Tearful Lady looked at Xia Jiuyou as soon as she arrived. During the battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm, she had been beaten quite badly by Xia Jiuyou, but she had not been able to harm him at all.
Xia Jiuyou also looked at her with a serious expression.
Although he had defeated the Tearful Lady, her strength was not to be underestimated.
"This is Progenitor Chen's tomb?" Mu En looked at the crack in front of him and was quite surprised.
Hui Zhi smiled. "Head of the Tribunal, Mu En, please wait for a moment. The tomb will open soon."
"No rush, no rush." Mu En smiled. It was rare to have the opportunity to enter the tomb.
Another two days passed, and as a cold air swept through the sky, the crack suddenly expanded. Behind Xia Yi, Xia Jiuyou's gaze turned cold, and he immediately charged out. Ku Lei transformed into a flash of lightning. Ce Jiu and the others were not slow either, and they all rushed towards Progenitor Chen's tomb.
The Tearful Lady and Shu Jing were also very fast, following closely behind the others. They were at a disadvantage in Progenitor Chen's tomb, as they did not know anything about it. Thus, Mu En had asked them to keep an eye on one of the successors of the Seven Courts. They would definitely find something good.
The Tearful Lady kept an eye on Hui Santong. The Hui Clan's successor was very smart, and he should have obtained many good things.
As for Shu Jing, his target was Xie Xiaoxian. He wanted to strengthen his physical body, and the She Clan was also very strong in this aspect.
The group rushed into Progenitor Chen's tomb through the crack. What they saw was a dark dome. This really was a tomb. Suddenly, there was a whistling sound, and Xia Jiuyou quickly dodged. The void where he had been standing twisted, and a huge club swept past him. He looked up and saw a thousand-meter tall giant in front of him.
"It's the tomb guardian giant!" Hui Santong shouted. Above his head, the club smashed down, and his gaze turned cold. A golden meteor appeared under his feet and sent him flying.
The club did not only attack once. The tomb guardian giant roared and wildly swung the club to attack.
You Qi was the first to be hit, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Ku Wei and Xie Xiaoxian did not escape, including Shu Jing. He flew in a straight line and was too easy to hit. The club almost knocked him out.
Ku Lei transformed into a flash of lightning and easily dodged it.
Ce Jiu used the Ce Secret Word and disappeared.
