Chapter 3710: The Statue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Who was Du Zhan? He was one of the strongest Supreme Elders in the 10,000 Devils Sect. A big shot in the sect that even the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect was respectful to. Hence, even if his grandson was a good-for-nothing, no one would dare to provoke him.
“I didn’t expect you to be Supreme Elder Du Zhan’s grandson,” Yue Qi said bitterly as his eyes shone with regret, “If I knew about your ident.i.ty earlier, I wouldn’t even enter the Divine Sanctuary with you.”
After all, entering the Divine Sanctuary with a person with such an ident.i.ty was no different from looking for trouble.
“It’s too late,” Du Qian Jun said nonchalantly.
‘When Yue Qi recalled that Du Qian Jun had addressed Chu Han as ‘Young Master’, he asked, “What about him? Is he also from the 10,000 Devils Sect?”
Du Qian Jun looked at Chu Han with a smile and asked, “Young Master Han, do you want to tell him or should I do it for you”
“You can tell him,” Chu Han said indifferently.
Du Qian Jun looked down at Yue Qi whom he was trampling beneath his feet and said with a scoff, “Young Master Han isn’t from the 10,000 Devils Sect. There are no rudimentary Kings of G.o.ds in the 10,000 Devils Sect who are worthy of my respect.”
Yue Qi’s expression changed slightly upon hearing these words. “Then who is he?”
Yue Qi shuddered when he thought about what kind of ident.i.ty Chu Han had for someone like Du Qian Jun to be so respectful. He regretted coming to the Divine Sanctuary even more at this moment.
“Young Master Han’s real name is Chu Han. He’s a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect, an emperor-rank sect. His master is an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect,” Du Qian Jun said in a raised voice, “In fact, his master is my grandfather’s senior brother, who originally came from the 10,000 Devils Sect.
His master was a proud prodigy of our sect when he was young.”
Yue Qi’s face turned pale upon hearing Du Qian Jun’s words.
A disciple from the Flying Dragon Sect? The Flying Dragon Sect was the emperor-rank sect that ruled over the three lord-rank sects in the area.
At this moment, Yue Qi finally realized why Du Qian Jun had joined forces with Chu Han. As it turned out, the duo had such a relations.h.i.+p. In terms of seniority, Du Qian Jun even had to address Chu Han as ‘junior uncle’. However, Chu Han thought the form of address made him sound old so he told Du
Qian Jun to address him as ‘Young Master Han’. After all, he was few hundred years younger than Du Qian Jun.
“T’ve already answered all your questions. Now, tell me, which path did Wu Yi Shan and his companion take?” Du Qian Jun asked as he looked down at Yue Qi coldly.
Yue Qi inhaled deeply before he spat out a mouthful of blood. A strange smile appeared on his face before he said, “Fools, now that I’ve tricked you, I can die in peace.”
Du Qian Jun was briefly stunned by Yue Qi’s words. His expression changed drastically when he regained his senses.
Yue Qi had mobilized his Divine Energy, preparing to self-destruct.
Boom!
Yue Qi exploded in just a blink of an eye.
The cave shook violently.
Du Qian Jun hastily protected himself and easily deflected the force of the explosion. After all, Yue Qi was weaker than him, to begin with. Coupled with Yue Qi’s injuries, the force of his explosion was easily dealt with by Du Qian Jun due to his quick reflex.
“d.a.m.n it!” Du Qian Jun stomped his foot, frustrated.
“That’s enough. Why stress yourself out over a n.o.body?”
Du Qian Jun inhaled deeply to calm down. Then, he forced a smile on his face as he said, “Young Master Han is right. I got carried away. What should we do now?”
Chu Han flew toward the two paths, pacing back and forth in front of them. He shook his head as he looked at the ground and the walls of the cave. Then, he said to Du Qian Jun, “There’s no dust on the ground and entrance. There are no traces at all. It’s impossible for us to tell which path they took. Since
there are two paths, the four of us should split up into groups of two and take a path each. There are only Wu Yi Shan and his companion left anyway. Since his companion is just an advanced G.o.d, it’ll be easy for any of us to kill them. If four of us take the same path, we might miss them.”
“Lagree,” Du Qian Jun said. In fact, he was reluctant to take the same path as Chu Han. After all, Chu Han’s strength was not only on par with him, but more importantly, Chu Han had a higher status than him. If he traveled with Chu Han, he would definitely have to give in to Chu Han and suffer a loss if
they come across any treasure. Hence, he was very agreeable to Chu Han’s suggestion.
Chu Han said with a smile, “In that case, you can choose which path you want to take. Junior Brother Chen and I will take the other path.”
“No, no, Young Master, you should choose which path you want to take,” Du Qian Jun said. It was enough that he did not have to travel with Chu Han so he did not care which path he took. Moreover, he had to show respect to Chu Han since Chu Han was his junior uncle.
“Stop refusing me. It’s the same. You can choose first,” Chu Han said as he shook his head.
Since Chu Han insisted, Du Qian Qun and the middle-aged man simply chose a path. The path he had chosen was not the one Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian had taken.
After the duo vanished down the path, Chu Han called out to the red-clad young man, and they both walked down the other path.
Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng continued walking. They had no idea where the path was leading them. It was so dark that they had to conjure up a small flame to light the way.
Since Duan Ling Tian had also comprehended the law of fire. He easily conjured up a small flame that would not drain his energy to maintain.
“Junior Brother Duan, I feel like it’s the calm before the storm, It shouldn’t be so quiet in the Divine Sanctuary,” Wu Feng said solemnly. He slowed down as they were approaching the end of the path.
“Tm prepared for it,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded and smiled, “After all, it’s only by overcoming obstacles in here that we’ll be able to obtain the treasures. Since the powerhouse who left the Divine Sanctuary here didn’t place his treasures in a Spatial Ring before burying it, it shows that he didn’t
want people to easily obtain his treasures. It’s likely that we’ll encounter our first obstacle at the end of this path.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed with antic.i.p.ation when he finished speaking.
After all, Du Qian Jun, the disciple from the 10,000 Devils Sect, had somewhat confirmed that the Divine Sanctuary was left by an Emperor of G.o.ds. The treasures of an Emperor of G.o.ds would definitely not be quotidian.
“Well, we’ll know once we reach the end of the path,” Wu Feng said before he picked up his pace.
Soon after, the duo arrived at a s.p.a.cious hall.
There was an eye-catching statue in the center of the hall. The statue was of a middle-aged man dressed in a loose long robe. His eyebrows made him look heroic and valiant, and he had a firm expression on his face. His right hand was lifted, pointing a sword in the direction of his gaze. The statue’s
craftsmans.h.i.+p was very good considering how life-like the statue was.
“Is the statue of the powerhouse who created this Divine Sanctuary?” Wu Feng muttered to himself as he stood in front of the towering statue and looked at it with bright eyes.
“Who knows?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Then, he began to inspect his surroundings as he moved around. Apart from the opening where they had exited, the entire place was enclosed. There was nothing in the hall except for the statue.
“Senior Brother Wu Feng, do you think there are treasures hidden in the statue? I can’t check what’s inside with my Divine Consciousness,” Duan Ling Tian said after he returned to Wu Feng’s side. He circled the statue as he continued to say, “Why don’t you try probing the statue with your Divine
Consciousness instead? Perhaps, you’ll have more success than I did.”
“Alright.” Wu Feng nodded. He looked at the statue with a solemn expression. After a few moments, he shook his head and said, “I can’t probe it as well. There must be a Formation blocking our Divine Consciousness..”
