Chapter 2275 - 2275 2265 General's Tomb

2275: Chapter 2265: General’s Tomb 2275: Chapter 2265: General’s Tomb The move by Ling Yutian was quite intriguing, especially knowing that there was a conflict between the two sects, Tian Shu couldn’t help but overthink.

Firstly, the two sects were at odds, and Long Yan and Wang Lei even more so regarded each other as rivals.

This made the idea of an opponent growing stronger quite the matter indeed.

“I wonder what relics will be unveiled this time.”

The voices of the two discussing the relics were not quiet.

Long Yan had heard them talking about the relics while he was still outside the hall.

As for what Ling Yutian was truly thinking, Long Yan did not care in the slightest.

Such matters could be addressed when they arise, by blocking the warriors and covering the water with earth.

“Sect Leader Ling!”

Long Yan simply greeted Ling Yutian with a fist salute, as an acknowledgment of the ceremony; after all, Long Yan was only a disciple, while Ling Yutian was the leader of a sect, and in terms of status, much higher than Long Yan.

“The site to be opened this time is the General’s Tomb.”

Ling Yutian slightly narrowed his eyes, and Long Yan’s heart leapt in shock, for the site that was to be opened was actually a Death Domain.

As mentioned before, among the Death Domains, the True Dragon General Tomb is considered a relic.

It contains countless dangers, but still, cultivators march toward it, one after another, every time it opens.

Success would elevate one to a higher status, a temptation difficult for cultivators to resist.

But Long Yan felt a chill in his heart, especially since he still bore a grudge against Elder Xuehe in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Voluntarily stepping into the enemy’s territory was nothing short of a death wish.

Of course, it was impossible for Ling Yutian to know such things, let alone the existence of Elder Xuehe.

Now, it wasn’t easy for Long Yan to determine what exactly Ling Yutian’s motives were.

“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you choose to give up, after all, Seven-Star Hall is a newly founded sect.”

If before Ling Yutian appeared as a kind and honest elder, now he resembled a cunning old fox.

If Seven-Star Hall refused to participate, who knows, Ling Yutian might just widely spread information about Seven-Star Hall being cowards.

“Truly a masterful calculation.”

Seeing the teasing gaze in Ling Yutian’s eyes, it appeared that this trial was unavoidable.

Seven-Star Hall was at the height of its fame; the higher one climbs, the harder one falls, and there were countless people waiting to see Seven-Star Hall’s downfall.

“Since Sect Leader Ling has invited us, we will certainly be there.”

Tian Shu looked like he wanted to say more, but Long Yan shook his head covertly at Tian Shu, causing the latter to sit back down.

Hearing what Long Yan said, Ling Yutian smiled contentedly, his purpose had been achieved, and there was nothing more to say.

“Then, in one week’s time, I and others will be waiting at the General’s Tomb for the people of Seven-Star Hall.”

After speaking, Ling Yutian waved his hand and began walking towards the outside of the hall, for Long Yan had taken the bait, and what followed would be his own operation.

This time, Long Yan was sure to die in the General’s Tomb.

Ling Yutian was not worried at all that Long Yan wouldn’t come.

For the sake of Seven-Star Hall’s reputation, Tian Shu would definitely send Long Yan, otherwise, the slightest mishap could cause Seven-Star Hall’s reputation to plummet.

“Sigh, why did you agree to him?”

Tian Shu deeply knew that Ling Yutian’s visit was ill-intentioned.

He had intended to use ongoing missions as an excuse, but Long Yan’s sudden arrival had thrown off all his plans.

Seeing Tian Shu’s expression, Long Yan understood that Li Ruowei had seen Ling Yutian come into the Great Hall, Tian Shu and Ling Yutian start to fight, so she had fetched Long Yan to assist Tian Shu.

It was an act of kindness that backfired.

However, Long Yan harbored not the slightest bit of resentment in his heart; after all, this was also an opportunity.

Within the unrestricted relic, Long Yan could finally have a proper showdown with Wang Lei.

“It seems you already have a plan in mind, so I won’t say more.

Remember, be extremely cautious in the relic seven days from now.”

Tian Shu sighed helplessly.

Matters had reached this point, and further complaints were useless.

Everything now depended on Long Yan himself.

“Oh, that move you used in your last sparring match.”

All of a sudden, Tian Shu straightened up, looking at the expression on Long Yan’s face.

Ever since Long Yan had used the Star Sword Technique, Tian Shu had been looking for a chance to ask him about it, but had never found the time.

Taking advantage of today, he decided to inquire.

Long Yan did not conceal anything and recounted to Tian Shu how he learned the sword technique within the Demon Suppressing Tower.

However, he did not mention his experiences in the inner world, as the thought of battling Battlefire Demonic Beasts was indeed terrifying to hear.

“It’s fate!”

After Long Yan finished speaking, Tian Shu let out a long sigh.

When he noticed Long Yan’s inquiring gaze, Tian Shu slowly began to recount a piece of the Seven-Star Hall’s secret history.

It turned out that before its current existence, there were records of the Seven-Star Hall, even before Tian Shu had taken over as Sect Leader.

The current Seven-Star Hall was originally the Five Elements Sect, and it was someone who rebuilt it after the dissolution of the Five Elements Sect.

All the unique techniques and moves currently in the Seven-Star Hall were passed down from that time.

As for the Nine Star War Dragon Decision, it was adapted from the original martial arts practice of the Five Elements Sect.

Of course, it was slowly modified to become the Seven-Star Hall.

The old man who imparted the Star Sword Technique to Long Yan was the previous Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect.

In a sense, he could also be considered Long Yan’s mentor’s ancestor.

Long Yan didn’t mention that he had already become the Sword Soul of the Lu Xian Sword.

He was unsure of how Tian Shu would react if he knew his mentor’s ancestor had become Long Yan’s Sword Soul.

Of course, as for the issue of whether to pass on the Star Sword Technique’s mantra or not, Tian Shu was adamantly against it.

The current Seven-Star Hall did not need the legacy of the Five Elements Sect, as its present foundation was more than sufficient.

Long Yan couldn’t help but feel moved; the Seven-Star Hall turned out to be the successor to the Five Elements Sect.

The Demon Suppressing Tower, guarded by Feng Tianlu, turned out to be something guarded by his ancestors as well—it was indeed a cycle.

The Seven-Star Hall had ultimately become the new Five Elements Sect.

As for such matters, Long Yan was not too concerned; whether it be the Seven-Star Hall or the Five Elements Sect, as long as he was present, the Seven-Star Hall would not fall.

Long Yan had made his preparations for the upcoming relic.

As for the composition of his own Domain, Long Yan also had a good idea and couldn’t wait to try it out.

Today, the Hundred Thousand Mountains were exceptionally bustling, as the emergence of the True Dragon General Tomb attracted most of the cultivators in the world to this place, each harboring the dream of rising above others.

“Long Yan, what exactly is inside this relic that people know is a field of death, yet still wish to enter?

Isn’t it a bunch of idiots?”

Long Yan glanced at Luo Pin, who included both of them in her insult.

This woman really was something…

Seemingly realizing that her words were somewhat inappropriate, Luo Pin stuck out her tongue in a cheeky manner.

Of course, the Shengdao Alliance had also received an invitation from Ling Yutian, but upon seeing Long Yan, Luo Pin felt an inexplicable sense of relief and simply started bickering with Long Yan.

“Are you sure you want to follow me?

It could be dangerous.”

Long Yan softly spoke, not to scare Luo Pin, but this time it was evident that Wang Lei was up to no good.

However, compared to Elder Xuehe, Wang Lei was trivial.

“Of course, I’m following you!”
