2026-02-01 14:36:41After counting them, Mu Qiu carefully put away the Fire Wolf Cores.
Then, he took out a few items from his bosom.
These were loots from the bodies of the three disciples of the Blood Poison Sect.
The most familiar among them was the antidote for the Blood Poison Pill.
Unfortunately, it was of no use to him.
Apart from that, there were the crystals in the crystal bag.
Mu Qiu counted. There were a total of thirty-six.
Of these, six were second-rate, and thirty were third-rate.
Whether it was martial arts techniques, or elixirs and treasures, or crystals, they were all divided into nine ranks.
Each rank is further divided into lower, medium, and upper grades.
Take the crystals, for example; the higher the rank, the richer the spirit within.
"Six second-rate and thirty third-rate, that's quite a harvest."
In his delight, he also examined the remaining items, all of which were useless.
Surprisingly, what embarrassed Mu Qiu the most was a book of erotic pictures. The provocative poses depicted within heated his body involuntarily.
However, just as he thought to destroy the erotic book, his gaze suddenly solidified.
The intertwined scenes depicted in the book were not simple!
It seemed that this book of erotic pictures might actually be a book of martial arts!
The poses of the men and women depicted were extremely unique, similar to a Yin-Yang Harmony Technique.
Mu Qiu flipped through a few more pages; the more he looked, the more extraordinary he found this method to be.
After some thought, he couldn't bear to tear it up, and decided to put it away.
You should know, the Art of Yin-Yang Harmony was different from the Yin Conduction Method.
The Yin Conduction Method only benefited men and harmed women.
However, the Art of Yin-Yang Harmony was beneficial to both men and women.
It could be considered a righteous method of dual cultivation!
Mu Qiu didn't destroy it, not because he wanted to dual cultivate with a woman in the future, but merely because he felt it's a waste to tear it up.
"Huh, what is this?"
After stowing away the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, his eyes fell upon a jade slip.
Out of curiosity, he pressed the jade slip to his forehead to examine its contents.
Upon looking, he revealed an expression of surprise.
Pulling back his consciousness, Mu Qiu curved his lips into a profound smile and muttered to himself: "Zhao Liqing..."
On the jade slip was clearly a message from Zhao Liqing to the disciples of Blood Poison Sect: 'Burial Spirit Ancient Tomb will be opened soon. At that time, all clans of the Divine Dynasty and the four holy lands are expected to arrive. To ensure the plan doesn't change, I need a large quantity of Blood Essence Pills to boost my cultivation. I hope your sect would not be stingy—Zhao Liqing!’
"Unexpectedly, this Zhao Liqing has been in collusion with the Blood Poison Sect!" Mu Qiu shook his head, somewhat surprised. No wonder Zhao Liqing was able to ascend the Inner Sect Leaderboard in such a short period! He had been using the Blood Essence Pill to enhance his cultivation all along. The Blood Essence Pill is made by the Blood Poison Sect by forcibly extracting the fresh blood and vitality of living people. Although ruthless, it can quickly boost cultivation. However, it comes with a great hidden risk and instability in cultivation levels. For orthodox sects like the Hengshan Sect, the Blood Essence Pill is a forbidden drug. If he were to hand over this jade slip to the sect... "Not yet, I can't hand it over!" Thinking about it, Mu Qiu shook his head secretly. Given his current standing within the sect, even if he truly handed over the jade slip, no one would believe it. Moreover, this jade slip doesn't explicitly state Zhao Liqing's intention to harm the Hengshan Sect. Thus, Zhao Liqing could have a lot of explanations later. Considering all these factors, Mu Qiu decided to wait until the time was ripe, and then hand over the jade slip as evidence.
"That's right, what exactly is the Burial Spirit Ancient Tomb?"
Even though Mu Qiu has never heard of the Burial Spirit Ancient Tomb, he could guess its significance.
This tomb, it must be no ordinary place.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiu carefully puts away the jade slip.
Then, he takes a look at the situation outside and notices that the entire pack of wolves has left.
"Return to the sect."
With this thought, Mu Qiu turns around and leaves the inheritance space, rushing to Hengshan Sect overnight.
...
The next day, noon.
As soon as Mu Qiu is back at Hengshan Sect, he makes his way to the task hall.
"Look, Mu Qiu is back!"
"He actually didn't die in the Fire Wolf Valley?"
"Heh, I guess he just went for a leisurely trip down the hill and didn't really go to the Fire Wolf Valley."
Inside the hall, many disciples are pointing and whispering about Mu Qiu.
Mu Qiu doesn't care about them and ignores their words.
He arrived directly at the place to return the mission.
However, the next moment, he slightly furrowed his brows, looking both up and down.
His identity token was gone!
"Darn it!"
Mu Qiu was dumbfounded!
In this manner, it confirmed the suspicion of the other disciples that he hadn't gone to Firewolf Valley.
Otherwise, with his power level, how could he return alive?
"I am saying, have you completed the mission or not?" The one responsible for the task contribution was a rather beautiful outer sect girl; seeing Mu Qiu like this, she couldn't help but wave her hands and urged, "If you have not completed it, then leave quickly! There are other disciples waiting in line! This is not a place for you to make a spectacle!"
Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment, just about to open his mouth.
But suddenly, a voice came from behind.
"Elder sister, did you just say that someone was making a spectacle?"
The voice was sweet and made everyone present divert their gaze.
There she was, a young girl in a purple dress, walking slowly into the hall with her hands behind her back and her chest out.
The girl in the purple dress looked at Mu Qiu fiercely, revealing two little fangs.
"Junior brother Mu, benefactor Mu!"
Under all eyes, she walked up to Mu Qiu, flaunting the token in her hand before his eyes, tilting her chin up, and said triumphantly, "It seems that we are quite fated, aren't we?"
"Uh…"
Mu Qiu was taken aback. He already knew that she was also from the Hengshan Sect.
But he didn't expect to meet her again so soon.
Sweat!
How careless!
He didn't even realize when he dropped the identity token!
Luckily, this silly woman picked it up!
Otherwise wouldn't all those hunts for the fire wolves be in vain?
"Th... Thank you!"
Taking the token back, Mu Qiu expressed his gratitude to the girl in the purple skirt.

Yet these were the resting places of the demon race's past emperors. Suddenly, Mu Qiu remembered — earlier, the old man had mentioned that these demon emperors, once revered for their great deeds, had all met with ill omens in their twilight years. A chill crept down Mu Qiu's spine. He shook his head sharply, as if to dislodge the thought. His curiosity was getting the better of him — and that never ended well.However, the moment he pondered deeper, a bone-chilling dread crept through his entire body. He dared not think further. Trembling fear. Burning curiosity. Two conflicting emotions tangled within him, tearing him apart."Hey, kid." The disheveled old man — who had been focused on scattering dirt ahead — suddenly halted and turned around. His voice was soft but deliberate. "Take a look at this soil. Doesn't it strike you as unusual?"Snapping back to reality, Mu Qiu froze for a moment. The old man had actually spoken to him first. This was unexpected — Mu Qiu had grown accustome

The vicissitudes of time. Mu Qiu felt as though an eternity had passed.As he stepped out of the wooden cabin, just like any other day, his clumsy figure suddenly froze.Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?Endless questions flashed through his mind. A glimmer of clarity pierced through his long-dulled vacant eyes. His gaze sharpened, growing clear once more."How did I end up here?"Mu Qiu lowered his head, murmuring to himself. A pensive expression settled over his face. And in that very moment, Mu Qiu — who had been numb and indifferent for so long — finally awoke. His three ethereal souls and seven earthly spirits seemed to snap back into place at once. A turbid breath escaped his lips. A sharp glint flashed from his eyes.Before him, reality blurred into illusion, as if he were drifting through clouds. He saw things that had once been invisible to him. Like those spine-chilling graves — before, they had merely appeared as ordinary mounds of earth. But now, squinting, he noticed

By the time the slovenly old man's movements roused him again, it was already daylight the next day. Mu Qiu followed the old man down over a dozen different paths, witnessing no fewer than a thousand graves of demon emperors. Yet all these tombs shared one common trait — even the newest headstones had been erected tens of thousands of years ago. In the last fifty millennia, not a single new grave had appeared.After trudging along various paths for over ten more days with the disheveled old man, this time the elder finally didn't lead him down a new route. Not that he was really leading Mu Qiu — because Mu Qiu was starting to suspect that the scruffy old man genuinely hadn't noticed his presence. Following the elder onto a familiar path, Mu Qiu recognized every single tombstone along the way. Was he doomed to repeat the same tedious routine?Sure enough, the old man resumed his monotonous tasks — scattering soil where it was due, ranting when the mood struck. A flicker of frustration
Chapter 207
Mu Qiu noticed that despite the old man's words, there were glistening drops in his murky eyes — as if tears were about to fall. Mu Qiu walked over to the tombstone in question. He waved his hand in front of the indescribable liquid, its foul stench assaulting his senses. Then, with some effort, he made out the name carved on the weathered stone tablet: Demon Emperor Xunkong.No doubt, this had once been a mighty demon emperor who shook the heavens and earth. Alas, time is the most merciless of all. No matter how peerless one may have been in life, there inevitably comes a day when even the strongest grow feeble with age.Mu Qiu, of course, couldn't be as disrespectful as the old man. In the end, he still scooped up a handful of yellow earth and added it to Demon Emperor Xunkong's grave — a gesture of reverence. For the strong, no matter the era, deserve the respect they are owed.After walking for a long time behind the disheveled old man, the elder suddenly turned and hurried back t

Unable to resist, two streams of bitter tears rolled down Mu Qiu's face in regret. Why on earth had he followed that wretched old man in the first place? Tears fell from his eyes, and his heart bled in anguish. Powerless to fight back, Mu Qiu felt his heart shatter into pieces. In that instant, his thoughts turned to Tang Ying. If he somehow survived this ordeal, how could he ever face her again? This humiliation was unbearable for any man. Mu Qiu would rather die than endure such torment.After a long internal struggle, an unusual sensation suddenly arose from his rear. Slowly, he closed his eyes. His heart turned to ashes. If escape was impossible... then let the storm rage even fiercer.Just as he was bracing himself to endure the cruel twist of fate with bitter resignation —Smack!A sharp, crisp sound suddenly rang out. The searing pain that exploded across his backside nearly made Mu Qiu cry out. Mu Qiu was furious now. He was already about to be humiliated by these damned spect

The footsteps grew louder. At first, they had been scattered and chaotic. But now, they fell into perfect, rhythmic unison — like a well-trained army on the march.This time, Mu Qiu finally saw what lurked beyond the window. Emerging from the endless darkness was a mighty demonic legion. Their tattered armor and rusted weapons left no doubt — these were undoubtedly demons. The army moved with eerie precision, cutting through the howling, frigid storm as if it were nothing. The leading general held a long halberd, its blade heavily rusted. Some of the soldiers carried broken spears, their weapons shattered and useless. Their eyes were hollow, devoid of life. They didn't seem to be living beings at all.As they drew closer, Mu Qiu could distinctly smell a foul, rotting stench — utterly repulsive. The demonic soldiers emitted a faint, eerie green glow as they marched forward in perfect formation, their destination unknown. A procession of ghostly soldiers. Though Mu Qiu had never witness
