"Fool. Have you heard of Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui? She's that genius girl with red hair. Regretless Sage is her master, and Regretless Sage is currently the most important protected individual of the Dawson Empire. So if we track him, we can gain the maximum benefit from the excavation at Lahong Great Sage's tomb. This is top-secret information, so make sure not to leak it."
"What level of cultivation does Regretless Sage have? Can we capture him?"
"What? Do you want to capture him alive? Don't dream too big. He's a master from Wonderland and is under multiple protections from the Dawson Empire. Let's hope our tracking doesn't give us away."
Guan Yue saw that the four were about to finish their meal and leave, so he quickly transmitted a message to Huangfu Jiayin: "I need to step out for a moment; this information is very important to me. Please wait a moment."
Guan Yue hurried to the only restroom in the hotel, using the noisy environment to secretly activate his Composite Domain and place it on the ground, while maximizing all his abilities, then quietly waited for the four diners to arrive.
As expected, before leaving the hotel, the four diners needed to use the restroom. The two who came with them were not Guan Yue's targets, so he did not take action.
When the disciple who was very familiar with Regretless Sage arrived at the restroom door, Guan Yue suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack!" while releasing his strongest mental interference to disrupt everyone's cognitive sensitivity.
At that moment, Guan Yue transformed Jin Peng inside Sky Peak Tower into its original form as a Green Roc, which immediately attacked that disciple, causing chaos all around.
Taking advantage of the confusion, Guan Yue wasted no time and instantly captured both Jin Peng and that disciple into Sky Peak Tower. Although this exposed some risks, this information was too important for Guan Yue, and he had to take the chance!
The scene at the restroom door was witnessed by Hu Feng and Hexi Wang, but they did not understand that the sudden appearance of the Dapeng and the disappearance of a disciple were due to Guan Yue. They also failed to notice the fleeting presence of Sky Peak Tower!
Guan Yue quickly entered the restroom. There were still many diners outside shouting. Soon after, the hotel guards arrived at the restroom door to investigate what had happened. Everyone agreed that a Green Roc had suddenly appeared and taken away a disciple. However, no one could clarify the details; on one hand, time was too short, and on the other hand, many diners were in a hurry and had no mind to remember their surroundings.
As a result, the hotel guards decided to let it go, but the other three disciples at the table of the missing disciple would not accept this. They kept causing a commotion with the hotel’s innkeeper, insisting that they must find their companion.
After some negotiations, the hotel shifted all responsibility onto the Green Roc. The three disciples did not dare to cause too much trouble; in the end, the hotel symbolically compensated them with a few pieces of Vermilion Jade, bringing this matter to a close.
Guan Yue kept an eye on how things were handled and felt less guilty seeing it resolved so smoothly.
That night, Guan Yue and his seven companions stayed at an inn in town. After spending so long outdoors, they all felt that staying in an inn was truly better.
Guan Yue arranged for seven individuals to have their own rooms, so after everyone had rested, Guan Yue slipped into Sky Peak Tower. Jin Peng immediately greeted him respectfully, saying, "Master, this guy has been unruly and I've already dealt with him. Now he's much more obedient."
Upon closer inspection, Guan Yue saw that the Disciple had been brutally beaten by Jin Peng, with not a single patch of skin intact. He was barely hanging on to life, so of course he was much more obedient now! Guan Yue understood that Jin Peng was trapped in the tower out of necessity and was filled with resentment; this Disciple had become her outlet for frustration.
Guan Yue did not concern herself with Jin Peng's feelings and immediately gave the Disciple a pill to restore his strength. She then began to inquire about the master of Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui. Guan Yue needed all the information she could gather.
After questioning, Guan Yue learned that the master of Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, known as Regretless Sage, was originally a member of a prominent family who had endured many hardships in his early years before mastering his skills. Later on, he became obsessed with researching how to convert Willpower into combat power. His disciples exhibited particularly remarkable performances in this area.
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui was just one of his disciples and the most famous among them because she had once challenged the young Disciples of the Nine Nations using only her Willpower, suffering only one defeat. Thus, she was quite renowned within the Dawson Empire. At that time, she was not yet ten years old.
Due to Regretless Sage's research attracting the attention of the Dawson Empire, he was granted the highest level of protection. Moreover, the royal family sent several princes to study under him. Naturally, these princes had to meet his sole requirement: they needed to possess at least intermediate-level aptitude.
Among the Disciples, ninety-nine percent were of low-grade aptitude. Intermediate-level aptitude was a rare commodity. High-grade aptitude individuals were considered national treasures and could be nurtured with the full resources of a nation. Therefore, Regretless Sage's requirement was not low by any means.
This time, Regretless Sage went to Putian County to participate in the excavation of the tomb of Lahong Great Sage, primarily to search for an item called Lat's Hand.
Lat's Hand? Guan Yue quietly noted down this name.
"Additionally, I heard that the Water Child has also fallen into his hands," said the injured Disciple, feeling much better after taking Guan Yue's pill. He inadvertently added this piece of information.
This statement made Guan Yue shudder; it felt as if she had stumbled upon a significant clue but wasn't entirely sure. She suddenly felt confused.
The Water Child is in his hands? And since Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui possesses particularly strong Water Elemental Will, could it be that she used the Water Child? What about the Little Red Fish? Could it be that the Fire Child is also in his possession and that the Little Red Fish utilized the Fire Child?
In other words, both the Fire Child and the Water Child are in possession of Regretless Sage, or they have already been used on both girls? This thought excited Guan Yue. It seemed she had found a way to enhance her own combat power. Moreover, it could be confirmed that there were at least three Children of Heaven and Earth within the current realm of the Dawson Empire.
However, this still needed verification. All of this was merely her speculation, but it left her incredibly excited. The key now was to find Regretless Sage!
After performing a soul control technique on this Disciple, Guan Yue released him.
After drawing this conclusion, Guan Yue felt a surge of confidence and immediately immersed himself in rigorous training.
The seven of them continued on their journey.
Along the way, more and more Disciples headed towards Putian County. Most of them were Senior Cultivators above the Guardian Realm, and there were even Disciples from the Wonderland and Eternal Realm. They even spotted two Disciples from the Eternal Realm.
As a result, all seven felt overwhelmed. With so many powerful individuals present at the Lahong Great Sage's tomb, their hopes of gaining any benefits seemed slim.
Guan Yue and his companions kept a low profile throughout the journey. Additionally, Huangfu Jiayin, Hu Feng, and Naijia had been deliberately made to look less appealing by Guan Yue, which prevented other male Disciples from taking an interest in them.
Finally, they arrived safely at the Lahu Great Sage's Tomb in Putian County.
The Lahu Great Sage's Tomb was nestled among a range of towering mountains, situated in a depression surrounded by majestic peaks.
There was no land around the tomb, only rocks.
At this moment, the mountains were filled with Disciples, and even in the sky above, many powerful individuals were present. Everyone was quietly waiting for someone to arrive. Despite the presence of over a million experts and Great Powers, the atmosphere remained relatively calm.
It wasn't until noon that a large group of Disciples arrived in massive vehicles from the sky. The enormous vehicles resembled small courtyards and could hold at least hundreds of people inside. These gigantic vehicles flew on their own without any visible means of propulsion. Guan Yue stared at them in amazement for a moment.
Dozens of people descended to the ground, and one person stepped forward and announced loudly: "Today marks the joint opening of the ancient tomb of Lahong Great Sage by the three great families of the Dawson Empire: Hu Family, Zhang Family, and Ying Family. We welcome all fellow practitioners to join us in this grand event. However, we must make it clear that the ancient tomb is fraught with dangers and covers a vast area. If you are willing to risk your lives, you may enter with us and seek your fortunes."
After speaking, the three families cleared all Disciples from the South Side of the tomb and combined their strength to launch a powerful attack at a specific spot, forcing a massive gate to slowly emerge from underground.
The surrounding Disciples began to push forward eagerly, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the Giant Gate's form. Some impatient Disciples were eager to enter the tomb.
At this moment, someone from the three families spoke again: "Everyone, please wait; this gate still needs to be opened before you can enter the ancient tomb. Remain calm."
Then each of the three families produced a large key and together unlocked the entrance to Lahu Great Sage's Tomb.
A loud crashing sound echoed, and a massive three-mile-long opening suddenly appeared at the mountainside of South Side. The entire South Side mountain was a burial ground.
After the graveyard opened, the three major families entered first. Following them, hundreds of thousands of Disciples streamed in one after another. After greeting Guan Yue, Chu Shaotian, Hexi Wang, and Hu Feng rushed into the mountain, eager to seize some benefits.
Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia said nothing but closely followed Guan Yue. Li Xiaohui hesitated for a moment before darting into the cave alone.
Guan Yue said to Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia, "Let's go in as well. But you must stick close to me. Don't get lost."
Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia nodded, remaining silent; they trusted Guan Yue implicitly without needing words.
In fact, before the graveyard opened, Guan Yue and Gao Yuxin had already seen through the entire structure of the graveyard. They could see that all the Disciples were entering along the route designated by the graveyard's builders.
They were actually taking a detour.
With Guan Yue's ability to see through solid objects, he was well aware of this graveyard. He first headed toward the treasure chamber. Along the way, he passed through countless barriers and many seemingly solid walls that appeared to block the way but were actually shortcuts. He made a beeline for the treasure chamber while Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia, with absolute trust in Guan Yue, closed their eyes and charged through those seemingly sturdy walls. Thus, they quickly arrived at the treasure chamber.
Guan Yue carefully examined the area before entering the treasure chamber from below. This was the retreat route for Disciples after placing their Treasures, which was soon discovered under Guan Yue's scrutiny.
As soon as they entered the treasure chamber, their eyes were dazzled by the brightness.
So many treasures! They had never seen anything like it before.
