Chapter 930: Yang Kong’s Sense of Crisis

The majority of the gods of the Origin World walked the path of close quarters combat, and Ancient God Ru Shou’s physical body was also at ancient god level, so even after perishing and becoming a corpse demon, he was still a formidable existence. Unless one was in the god realm, they could not fight against him.

In the small world, apart from Li Yunmu who was disguising himself as a pig to eat the tiger, whether it was the white-gowned people or those in black mist, all of them were at best half gods.

Once the corpse demon came out, beyond the heavens’ younger generation would probably die. Only Jue Qingzi’s group, which was under Li Yunmu’s protection, would escape safely.

Everyone moved around the coffin but no one dared to open it. Who knew what sort of arrangements the Alliance had made for the god ruins of night pearl small world to ensure that the younger generation gained experience to pass the tribulation and become immortals. There were always many dangers in the god ruins, and only after crossing the final step could they obtain the godhood.

In the god ruins they had just entered, there was an illusion at the beginning. After it was eliminated, they arrived in front of the coffin. By following the predetermined path, they had arrived at the final juncture, so now they needed to open the coffin and take out the godhood.

But there had to be something wrong with the situation. No one could believe that the Alliance would let them obtain godhood so smoothly.

Leng Yan looked at the white-gowned people and those in black mists, then said with a smile, “What do you intend to do about this deadlock?”

The white-gowned people and the black mist people didn’t reply as if they were mute.

Yang Kong, who was standing behind Leng Yan, extended his head toward Jue Qingzi and said with a sinister smile, “Since Nine Palace and Yin Manor’s people aren’t willing to go, then we should allow Brother Jue Qingzi to go and take a look. After all, for many years now, Brother Jue Qingzi has been acting as a lackey of Young Master Leng. This time should also be the same.”

Leng Yan did not say anything as if it wasn’t related to him. The two maids by his side, in the meantime, revealed coquettish smiles as if looking at a good show.

Yan Wanqiu took a step forward and stood in front of Jue Qingzi before speaking up with hands on her waist. “Aren’t you also Leng Yan’s lackey?! Then why are you asking my senior apprentice brother to go? Why don’t you go yourself?”

A smile appeared on Yang Kong’s grotesque face, and he said unhurriedly, “If I walked the path of sword immortal, then I would go without saying anything. Younger sister, you must know that I practice poison attacks. Everyone should handle their jobs. I will do my job, while Jue Qingzi should do his. Jue Qingzi, what do you say?”

“You!”

Just like Yang Kong said, everyone entering the god ruins had their job. Yang Kong was an expert in the field of poison and good at removing poison from corpses. The white gowns were experts in spell formation, while the people in black mists could subdue evil creatures. The two maids from Bell Sound School could use sound waves to confuse beasts buried in the tombs.

And Jue Qingzi was the best at walking in the front. In terms of strength, no one on the scene could beat a sword immortal’s bloodline. Such a formidable ability was most suitable for opening the path. After all, even if they encountered a dangerous situation, he could still retreat by relying on his strength.

At ordinary times, Jue QIngzi only needed to follow Leng Yan through the god ruins to obtain a godhood, but who knew what sort of transformation might happen after opening an evil-looking coffin.

If Jue Qingzi was injured, then Leng Yan’s side would only say a few words to comfort him, so Yan Wanqiu wouldn’t allow her sect’s senior apprentice brother to go up for such a bad deal.

After a long time, everyone’s gaze returned to Jue Qingzi.

Yang Kong, who still stood at Leng Yan’s side, revealed a hint of hesitation and slowly said, “Jue Qingzi, you should know that your junior disciples were only able to come to the night pearl small world because of Young Master Leng’s assistance. Otherwise, how could you have obtained so many places with your declining Profound Sword Pavilion?”

The moment he said that, Jue Qingzi moved Yan Wanqiu, who was standing in front of him, to the side and said in calm tone, “Junior apprentice sister, step aside. I will assist fellow dao friends in opening the coffin.”

Just as he took a step forward after saying that, his left arm was pulled by a powerful force. Jue Qingzi turned around to take a look to see that Li Yunmu was pulling his arm. Li Yunmu shook his head, and pointed at himself, then at the coffin and himself once more.

“…”

Jue Qingzi was somewhat confused when Li Yunmu pointed around instead of saying anything.

Next to him, Yan Wanqiu’s gaze flickered, and she quickly took a step forward to bring him aside. “Senior apprentice brother, let junior apprentice brother go. He is also from the sword immortal’s lineage.”

After saying that, she winked at Jue Qingzi to remind him of their pretense. It took Jue Qingzi a moment to recall that the person standing in front of him wasn’t his junior apprentice brother, but rather an expert of the Origin World possessing the strength of a golden immortal.

“En, this time I will let you, junior apprentice brother, go,” Jue Qingzi said with a solemn expression.

Li Yunmu choked down a smile, then nodded and slowly walked toward the coffin. Leng Yan and the others who were standing on the sides turned silent, and the smiles on their faces also froze. Everyone felt strange. They had thought that Jue Qingzi would go to open the coffin himself, but who would have guessed that the mute junior apprentice brother who practiced the secret technique of Profound Sound Pavilion would volunteer himself to be the one to open the path.

Did that junior apprentice brother of Profound Sword Pavilion who was only releasing a foundation stage presence want to make people laugh?

Li Yunmu slowly walked forward until he reached the coffin. He then opened the lid, revealing the corpse inside. It was a man with his eyes shut. An enormous tiger was under his legs, while two refined black dragons were curled around his shoulders. A weak golden light was being emitted from the man’s chest, but apart from that, there was no presence coming from his body.

It was Ancient God Ru Shou who had perished a long time ago. There were no abnormalities even after he had changed into a corpse demon. He retained his original appearance and seemed to be like a living person who was sleeping.

After sensing the presence of godhood, Leng Yan, who was standing by Yang Kong’s side, grew cheerful and shouted loudly, “Younger apprentice brother, quickly take out that godhood.”

Li Yunmu pretended to not have heard it. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that there were countless scratches on the inner side of the coffin lid and softly flipped it over to carefully observe it. The countless scratches were made by grabbing at the back of the coffin lid, so could it be that Ancient God Ru Shou had been sealed inside before he died?

But with Ancient God Ru Shou’s strength, was it possible that someone could even seal his cultivation, which would have resulted in Ru Shou becoming an ordinary person possessing an ancient god’s body? It was the only way for him to be tortured to death until his vitality was exhausted.

Li Yunmu threw the coffin’s lid to the ground, which resulted in an incredibly loud sound.

Leng Yan was shocked by how tyrannical the Profound Sword Pavilion’s junior apprentice brother suddenly became. If he could throw away the coffin’s lid just like that, how formidable was the strength stored in his foundation stage body?

Why was he cultivating in the Profound Sword Pavilion with such a tyrannical nature?

“Junior brother should’ve finished watching. Now quickly take out the godhood,” Yang Kong said anxiously without knowing why he was feeling a sense of crisis even though nothing had happened after opening the coffin. According to common sense though, after opening the coffin, the god’s corpse inside should spew out the poison stored inside it.

But even after the lid was removed, there wasn’t any corpse poison or any other type of danger. Because of that, a sense of crisis rose in his heart, and he grew restless. He wanted Profound Sword Pavilion’s younger disciple to take out the godhood so they could leave as soon as possible.
