Chapter 34: The Seven-Man Group Comes to Seize the Opportunity

Ouyang Qingluo was slightly stunned, blinking her large, watery eyes, before breaking into a sweet, joyful smile.

"Alright then, I'll go out and give them their gifts."

Lin Xuan smiled faintly. This little girl was truly clever; it would be wonderful if he could trick her into becoming his daughter-in-law.

"Good girl. Next time, Uncle will reward you with something delicious."

After speaking with a smile, Lin Xuan handed his key to Ouyang Qingluo and led her out of the tomb.

"Qingluo!"

Seeing Ouyang Qingluo emerge safely, Yu Feng and the others were overjoyed. If anything had happened to her, they truly wouldn't have been able to face the Ouyang family.

"You lot! You're finally out!"

Sun He was furious, yet he dared not speak out in anger. These people were all his superiors!

"Hehe, Elder Sun He, Brother Cui and Brother Luo are still inside collecting treasures. You think you could handle them if they teamed up against you?"

Having finished using his provocation tactic, Lin Xuan flew off directly in the opposite direction.

Watching Lin Xuan depart so abruptly, Sun He was stunned, while Ouyang Qingluo took out the key and tossed it to him.

"Here, it's yours. I don't need it anyway."

Ouyang Qingluo nonchalantly threw the key that Sun He had been pining for.

As Sun He caught the key, he felt somewhat dazed.

"Whether you go in or not is entirely up to you, but I advise you: it's best not to go in. Even Uncle couldn't get a share, let alone you," Ouyang Qingluo said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, do I look afraid? If that waste Xuan Lin couldn't get a share, what does that have to do with me!?"

Sun He was enraged. He, Luo Han, and Cui Yongyuan were originally on the same side; everyone present should get a share. Why shouldn't he get a piece of the pie!?

With this thought, Sun He grabbed the key and entered the tomb directly.

"Qingluo, what is the situation inside?" Yu Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, there are indeed treasures, but they certainly won't be able to enjoy them," Ouyang Qingluo said with a sweet smile.

Yu Feng was about to speak when, moments later, seven figures descended from the sky.

"Qingluo!?"

The middle-aged man leading them had his hands clasped behind his back, and he looked bewildered upon seeing Ouyang Qingluo.

"Daddy!" Ouyang Qingluo cried out in pleasant surprise.

"Greetings, foster father," Yu Feng immediately bowed with cupped hands.

"Why have you two come here?" Ouyang Zhan asked with concern.

"Daddy, someone has already gone in! There are real treasures in the tomb—it's the tomb of the Dragon Sovereign!" Ouyang Qingluo shouted urgently.

"What!?"

Ouyang Zhan remained calm, but the others grew anxious.

"Damn it! Where did these small fry come from, daring to snatch opportunities from this seat!"

A burly man built like a hunk of iron roared and threw a punch at the tomb door, but the door remained unmoved.

"Don't waste your strength. This tomb door was forged by the Dragon Sovereign. Unless you possess the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm, it is futile," Ouyang Zhan said, standing atop a long spear with his hands behind his back, looking quite majestic.

"Blast it! Which son of a bitch dares to steal my opportunity!?" the iron-clad man grumbled in frustration.

The others also wore grim expressions.

"No rush. We will wait for them to help us secure the treasures, and then we can simply wait for the rabbit to come to the tree," Ouyang Zhan said indifferently as he slowly landed before the tomb door.

"Daddy!" Ouyang Qingluo threw herself into Ouyang Zhan's arms.

"You silly girl, don't be so willful next time. The things your great-grandfather gives you can only protect you two or three times. What if you encounter too much danger!?" Ouyang Zhan, a typical doting father, stroked the back of Ouyang Qingluo's head and smiled dotingly.

The other six also landed one after another before the tomb door.

Among the seven newcomers, besides Ouyang Zhan, two were from the Capital and four were from the Eastern Province.

The Capital's Grand General's Mansion, the Capital's Prime Minister's Mansion; the Eastern Province's Lingwu Sect, the Eastern Province's Dongtian King's Mansion, the Eastern Province's Song Family, and the Eastern Province's Governor's Mansion.

Every single one was a superpower!

After the group waited quietly for several hours, three figures suddenly emerged from the tomb door.

"Damn it, you two explain yourselves! Why do you each get three treasures while I only get one!?" Sun He was still cursing loudly.

Meanwhile, Cui Yongyuan and Luo Han looked on with disdain.

Cui Yongyuan was about to say something when he suddenly noticed several figures standing outside the tomb door.

"And who might you all be?" Cui Yongyuan asked cautiously.

"Jie jie jie, we've finally waited for you to come out. Hand over the opportunities, quickly!"

The iron-clad man walked forward slowly, showing no politeness whatsoever.

"Who are you? I am the Second Elder of the Cui Family from Huaqing Prefecture..."

"My ass! What kind of bullshit Cui Family? Never heard of it. Hand it over!"

The iron-clad man was full of impatience, his body radiating an aura of death. Under his gaze, Cui Yongyuan felt as if he had been targeted by the Grim Reaper; he fell to his knees, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Luo Han and Sun He watched this scene, trembling with fear, their faces turning deathly pale instantly.

Ouyang Zhan watched this with a smile, making no move to stop it, while the other five watched as if observing a joke.

Ouyang Qingluo, on the other hand, squinted her large eyes with schadenfreude...

"Hand over the Dragon Sovereign's opportunities, or this seat will have to take them personally!"

...

After exiting the tomb, Lin Xuan moved toward the distance as if he had the wind at his heels.

Not long after he had left the tomb, Ouyang Qingluo had mentioned that her father would arrive at the scene in ten minutes at most, which had scared Lin Xuan into pushing his Dragon Soaring Steps to the absolute limit.

Although he had some acquaintance with Ouyang Zhan, even if Ouyang Zhan didn't make things difficult for him, it was hard to say what the others would do. Furthermore, Ouyang Zhan certainly wouldn't fall out with people of the same level just for his sake.

Of course, Ouyang Qingluo only needed to relay what Lin Xuan had said to her to Ouyang Zhan, and Ouyang Zhan would naturally be able to guess it was him.

However, Lin Xuan had known Ouyang Zhan for twenty years. Ouyang Zhan was an upright and broad-minded man, so there was a high probability he wouldn't come looking for trouble.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if that old fellow Ouyang Zhan really did come after him, Lin Xuan wouldn't blame himself for being thick-skinned enough to go to his master to demand justice!

Deep within Lin Xuan's storage bag lay the Proclaimed Disciple Token of the Jixia Academy!

Lin Xuan had been away from Jixia Academy for twenty-two years, yet the academy had never reclaimed his token, and Master Jiu had never ordered his expulsion. This meant that Lin Xuan was still considered a member of Jixia Academy.

Moreover, because he was a direct disciple of Master Jiu, according to the academy's rules, Lin Xuan was entitled to serve directly as a teacher within the academy!

And Lin Xuan's disciple token had been personally crafted by Master Jiu himself.

A very useful feature of this token was that it allowed for two instances of random teleportation. This was a technique of the True Martial God Realm, and it was the first gift Master Jiu had given to his disciple. Lin Xuan had already used it once, leaving him with one remaining use.

After thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided to stop worrying and simply took a detour toward Baiyin Pass.
