Chapter 1320: Chapter 705: Instant Kill

Wei Yushuang bit her lip, fists clenched, as Su Jie’s words dealt her a heavy blow.

Such face-to-face taunting was a first for Wei Yushuang, the Eldest Princess.

"Calm down, the most important thing now is to find the true culprit who destroyed Dragon Sleep Mountain."

Qin Yushang grabbed Wei Yushuang’s arm, fearing she would impulsively confront Su Jie again, only to suffer further.

Wei Yushuang took a deep breath, knowing that the current Su Jie was not someone she could deal with; he could even kill her.

"The true culprit who destroyed Dragon Sleep Mountain probably entered that underground Dragon Vein Crack. The Director went in first and should be tracking them. We must catch up quickly."

Pointing at the abyss-like Dragon Vein Crack at the original site of Dragon Sleep Mountain, Qin Yushang pulled Wei Yushuang away, worried that if she stayed any longer, Wei Yushuang might provoke Su Jie again, with potentially fatal consequences.

Su Jie first looted all the treasures on the battlefield, completing unfinished business, and then beckoned Ning Xinyue.

"Maid Ning, let’s go in and take a look too."

"Yay, let’s go, let’s go."

Ning Xinyue was even more excited than Su Jie, eagerly following his lead.

Su Jie stood on the edge of a Dragon Vein Crack hundreds of meters wide, where dense, golden light surged forth like stardust.

This Dragon Vein power could not be utilized by ordinary people; it was more related to natural seasons and the destiny of the Dynasty.

The interference of this Dragon Vein power severely oppressed the Divine Sense, making accurate exploration impossible.

"Follow me closely."

Su Jie took a step forward, his body descending into the depths of the crack.

Ning Xinyue followed closely, her bright eyes curiously scanning the surroundings.

"Hey, hey, Su Jie, do you think Emperor Tianwu’s corpse might turn into a zombie? If it does, we better run."

"I heard that the Dao Treasure Ten Thousand Dragon Pearl is buried here too. If we could grab it, we’d be rich; it’s even better than the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus."

"What! I’m not scared. If my sister were here, no matter how strong the enemy, we’d flatten them. Of course, Su Jie, you’re not bad either."

Like a joyful lark, Ning Xinyue chirped around Su Jie, seemingly having a lot to say to him after not seeing each other for a long time.

After a few steps, Su Jie caught up with Wei Yushuang and Qin Yushang.

Wei Yushuang’s expression was quite unpleasant. Being Dragon Sleep Mountain, representing the Grand Ancestor Emperor Tianwu’s tomb, non-royals entering it was undoubtedly a desecration.

In the past, she would have surely fought Su Jie to the death.

But after the previous lesson, she understood she couldn’t win against Su Jie, nor stop his actions.

"Let’s see what’s going on, it’s Emperor Tianwu’s tomb. The Emperor’s presence is grand, and there must be many treasures buried with him."

"Hehe, if there are good things, let’s play the tomb robber for a while."

Ning Xinyue and Su Jie’s conversation drifted over, making Wei Yushuang’s face darken.

"This is the Grand Ancestor’s mausoleum. What are you planning to do? This is desecration."

Wei Yushuang barely restrained herself, but eventually, she couldn’t help but speak out.

Su Jie glanced at Wei Yushuang, indifferent, and said: "Desecration? The fact that the Tianwu Tomb wasn’t well-guarded is your Royal Family’s responsibility. I bet if Emperor Tianwu resurrected and saw the chaos you’d brought to the Da Li Dynasty, he’d choose to strangle you unworthy descendants first."

Ning Xinyue nodded repeatedly, chirping: "Exactly, the treasure belongs to those with virtue. Since your Royal Family can’t guard it, it’s better entrusted to those who can better utilize it."

Both of them, one a Demon Cultivator with no psychological burden on committing murder and plundering, and the other influenced by her company, also shared a flexible moral compass.

"Su Jie, together?"

Having interacted more with Su Jie, Qin Yushang turned and waved to him.

She didn’t know who the enemy was, but given they could breach Dragon Sleep Mountain, quickly break the Great Taoist Formation, and defeat Wei Jun, it showed the formidable adversary infiltrating Dragon Sleep Mountain was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, uniting with Su Jie seemed more prudent, as he wouldn’t attack them directly.

"See, there are still sensible people."

Su Jie chuckled, ignoring Wei Yushuang’s unhappy gaze, and led Ning Xinyue deeper into the Dragon Vein Crack.

As they ventured further, the underground passage narrowed, and the emanating Dragon Vein strength became more intense, the golden light painting Su Jie and his group like golden statues.

Whoosh!

After about ten minutes of walking, the sound of battle suddenly echoed from ahead, with energy waves pulling back and forth.

Su Jie couldn’t help but quicken his pace. Moments later, the passage brightened suddenly,

and they found themselves in a wide underground space.

In front of Su Jie was an underground cave, with countless purple crystal jades hanging from above, and at the center was an underground lake.

But the lake didn’t contain water; instead, it was a mass of flowing cloud energy.

The cloud was a bright gold, resembling golden cotton candy, faintly forming into a dragon shape, and pure Dragon Vein power surged endlessly—this was the Da Li Dragon Vein.

The combatants included Li Daozhong leading aristocratic family experts and a team of Exotic Realm Cultivators, all being Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators.

Also present was the sole, besieged Director Zhang Qingcang from the Heavenly Patrol Department, a late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator now heavily injured due to being surrounded by several Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Zhang Qingcang’s strength was quite formidable, for despite being alone, he managed to entangle the attacks from several Purple Mansion Cultivators with difficulty.
