…

She was wearing sneakers, her fair ankles exposed. She was very fast and arrived in front of Ye Xiao in two to three steps.

It was obvious that she had used some movement techniques.

“Ye Xiao, long time no see.”

Ye Xiao raised his head and glanced at her before nodding.

“You’ve returned from the starry sky?”

The person who had come was none other than Qin Yuyan.

She nodded her head gently.

“Yes.”

Then, she could not help but ask,

“There was an old man who had just left. Did you notice what he was doing here?”

Ye Xiao knew that Qin Yuyan was asking about Beitang Ce.

After all, Beitang Ce could be considered a celebrity.

She had definitely heard of him before.

Regarding that, Ye Xiao shook his head.

“I didn’t see it. I’ve been reading just now.”

“Alright then.”

Qin Yuyan was slightly disappointed, but she quickly returned to her normal mood. Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket.

“Hey, as I said before, I’ll give you some reward for helping me learn the method to steal the divine tomb.

“This is a medicinal pill that I found in the starry sky. It’s some imperial pills. The spiritual energy inside is very rich, so I’ll give it to you.”

Imperial pills were already quite a generous reward.

It could be seen that Qin Yuyan was very practical.

“There’s no need to be so polite. Take it back. It’s just a small matter for me to help you. Imperial pills are too expensive.”

Qin Yuyan smiled speechlessly.

“It’s you who shouldn’t be so polite. I obtained a lot of good things in the starry sky this time.

“The imperial pill isn’t that precious to me now. I still have a lot of it. You can keep it.”

Ye Xiao could not be bothered to decline. He nodded and accepted it.

“Thank you then.”

The reason why he accepted Qin Yuyan’s things was mainly that he felt that Qin Yuyan and he were not on the same side.

She was not like Senior Beitang Ce and the others, who could only be considered ordinary friends with him.

Therefore, there was no need to be so polite between the two of them. They had to be more business-like.

Although he had taken Qin Yuyan’s gifts, he would also give her advice when she came to look for books in the future.

It could be considered as taking what they needed.

Ye Xiao noticed that Qin Yuyan’s cultivation had advanced another realm, reaching the strength of Xiantian eighth grade.

That made Ye Xiao unable to help but have some doubts.

That was because, under normal circumstances, Qin Yuyan’s cultivation speed should be on par with Beitang Ce and the other seniors. At most, she would only be slightly better than them.

However, her cultivation speed had increased, and it was clearly much better than the other seniors.

It was very puzzling.

Ye Xiao used his mental energy to probe Qin Yuyan and suddenly discovered some strange differences.

The blood essence in Qin Yuyan’s divine blood was slightly thicker than others’ divine blood. It was almost the same as his own.

The difference could not be said to be too great, but under Ye Xiao’s precise spiritual fluctuations, he could see it at a glance.

The problem was that the reason why Ye Xiao’s divine blood essence was so strong was entirely because he had absorbed a large amount of divine blood before transcending the tribulation and becoming a god. Many people had passed their divine blood to him.

Regardless of whether it was King Zhou, the Emperor’s Spirit Steele, or the divine blood of the ancestors, all of them had been absorbed by him.

When he finally advanced, it was equivalent to gathering the divine blood of dozens of people together, compressing, refining, and purifying it.

Only then did he obtain such vigorous divine blood.

However, Qin Yuyan did not do anything and was already close to reaching her own level.

Could it be that she had eaten some kind of natural treasure?

However, natural treasures should not have such a powerful effect.

Perhaps, it could be… Someone in her lineage’s ancestors had raised their cultivation base to a very powerful level, and as a result, she had indirectly benefited from it.

However, that theory did not work either.

That was because he was the same as Qin Yuyan. They were all descendants of the Xuan Yuan clan, and they were all the same ancestors.

There was no reason why the ancestors of any of the branches had enhanced. Her blood essence had increased, but Qin Yuyan’s blood essence had not.

“Why are you staring at me?”

Qin Yuyan was a little puzzled.

She did not think that Ye Xiao had a good impression of her. She knew that he was not that kind of person.

He was not as dirty as those other men. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would have some bad thoughts.

Ye Xiao retracted his gaze.

“It’s nothing. Since you’ve just returned from the starry sky, it’s better for you to rest a little more to prevent your state of mind from fluctuating.”

“Yes, you’re right. I’ll go back and rest in a while. Help me find two books. They still have to be related to arrays. I want to understand more about them.

“In that case, even if I encounter some tombs of a higher level, I can still give it a try.”

Ye Xiao said indifferently,

“There are three books in the lower-left corner of the seventh row, a few books in the middle of the ninth row and the fifth floor, and two books in the upper right corner of the fifteenth row.

“They are probably all arrays within the scope of the imperial array. It seems like you have already advanced to the divine sect, right?

“With your cultivation, you should be able to understand by borrowing these books. Furthermore, you should also be qualified to lend them out.

“Those of a higher level might require stronger strength.”

“These are enough. Those divine tombs in the starry sky don’t have any divine arrays either. At most, it’s just an imperial array.”

She took the books and Ye Xiao helped her with the borrowing procedures. Qin Yuyan bade farewell and left.

Ye Xiao continued reading.

…

At the same time, in the starry sky, in the temporary command center that the three god clans had jointly constructed, the atmosphere was solemn and revealed a hint of gunpowder.

“Recently, the Xuan Yuan clan’s movements are getting bigger and bigger.”

“This group of Xuan Yuan clan is really too greedy. They are even ranked 19th in the starry sky. In the end, they are just like dogs that have never eaten meat. They eat so barbaricly!

“They really don’t even care about their face.”

Everyone spoke one after another, their words revealing many unkind complaints.

However, Katsumer was staring at the starry sky outside, deep in thought.

“Don’t you think this is a little abnormal? If I remember correctly, when the Xuan Yuan clan first arrived, they didn’t have much speed compared to us.

“Moreover, there are so many tombs in this starry sky. We won’t be able to finish them in a short time. Under such circumstances, the Xuan Yuan clan doesn’t need to show such urgent ambition.”

Another martial arts expert of the Giant Gorilla clan, Babulu, said,

“Do you suspect that the Xuan Yuan clan has found something good?”

Katsumer shook his head.

“I’m not sure about this, so I don’t dare to make a conclusion. My opinion is more like that they have found something good, but they haven’t found it yet. Right now, they are looking for it.”

“No matter what, the Xuan Yuan clan’s strange movements are worthy of our vigilance. We must investigate this matter clearly.”.

“I heard that the Xuan Yuan clan recently changed a group of excavators. The Xuan Yuan clan has arranged a majority of their disciples in the starry graveyard. Their ground defenses are very weak.”

Everyone looked at each other. They already had an answer in their eyes.

Since the Xuan Yuan clan’s ground defense was weak and there were excavators who had just been replaced, they could find out something that might be of great benefit to them.

…

On Ye Xiao’s side, they continued to mine, and the progress had already gone from 3/1000 to around four percent.

Based on that situation, Ye Xiao estimated that it would still take at least two more years to completely dig through the entire dragon vein and completely open up the Divine Kingdom’s treasury.

That period of time was really too long. Just how many divine crystals did he need to dig out to be enough?

The divine crystals in the jade seal had long been piled up into countless mountains. Ye Xiao himself could not even count how many divine crystals were inside.

His daily life was still two points and one line. It was extremely simple.

Until that day… Two figures quietly entered and arrived at Jianghai city.

“This is Jianghai city, where the Nine Provinces’ human race lives. It’s currently one of the five great gathering places of the Nine Provinces’ human race.”

“There are also quite a few excavators heading to the starry sky over at Jianghai city. Our secret agents found a list of names from a dead excavator of the Xuan Yuan clan.

“There are quite a few excavators in Jianghai city. Some are called Liu Chengxun, some are called Piao Jiansheng, and some are called Du Changfeng. One of them, who recently came down, is called Qin Yuyan.

“She should know some information.”

“Let’s go and find someone to inquire about her identity and whereabouts.”

The two figures slightly turned their faces, and in the blink of an eye, they became two other people. They looked no different from the Xuan Yuan descendants below.

Obviously, the two of them had used a disguise technique.

The two of them arrived on the ground in the blink of an eye. No one around them paid attention to them. In the society of martial artists, it was already common for them to fly.

The two of them wandered around the streets and soon spotted a young man with a book in his hands.

“It’s him.”

“Let’s go up.”

The two of them followed, and that figure walked forward expressionlessly.

He was none other than Ye Xiao.

He had already sensed the two of them and had already sensed their identities. One was from the Winged God clan, and the other was from the Thunder God clan.

It was them who had disguised themselves.

Ye Xiao could roughly guess the reason why these two gods had come to Jianghai city.

Recently, because they had discovered news of the Godly King’s tomb, Ning Zhiyuan had gotten the Xuan Yuan clan to speed up the excavation.

That would definitely encroach on the rights and interests of the other gods, which would also make the others feel worried.

Under such circumstances, it was normal for the three unknown clans to send people over to investigate.

However, were those two people not a little too discerning?

After arriving there, they actually did not look for anyone and directly targeted him.

That made Ye Xiao feel very puzzled.

Did he look rather unlucky? He realized that many times, such matters would look for him instead of looking for someone else.

That sort of thing had already happened several times. Ye Xiao could not completely believe that he was simply saying that his luck was bad.

Well, if he remembered correctly, there was a small alley in front. He would just interrogate them there.

He will have to see what those two fellows were there for.
