Chapter 468: Speculation

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Wang Wuyou felt quite relieved to hear Bei Feng’s answer. The Minor Dark Sky Breathing Technique was a legacy that he’d left behind anyway; after all, he did not dare to guarantee that his rebirth plan would be successful.

“Since you’ve already seen This King’s coffin earlier, why didn’t you try to destroy This King’s body while This King was still asleep?” Wang Wuyou asked with interest.

“Hur hur, I was afraid,” Bei Feng said directly without any reservations as he took a light sip from his cup. This cup of tea could be considered quite luxurious by Earth’s standards.

He did not feel the slightest bit embarrased to speak his mind. Towards a person that was so vicious to even himself, Bei Feng did not believe that this Wang Wuyou did not have any abilities to tell if he was lying. It would be even more dangerous to treat the latter like a fool.

“Not bad.”

Wang Wuyou also took a light sip from his cup. As he nodded, it was not clear if he was praising Bei Feng or the tea.

“You’re not afraid of me?”

Wang Wuyou looked at Bei Feng with a light smile.

“Of course I am. Your strength is too great after all. However, I have my trump cards as well.”

Bei Feng set down his tea cup and looked at Wang Wuyou, slightly sensing the huge pressure radiating off the latter’s body.

“Interesting, interesting, This King is quite curious about what kind of trump card it is that gives you so much confidence.”

Numerous pieces of illusory black scales that flickered in and out of existence began to appear on Wang Wuyou’s fair skin. His pupils also turned into slits and his iris became dark red in color, as if a sea of corpses and blood were reflected in his eyes.

A heavy pressure landed on Bei Feng’s body, causing the stone stool under him to emanate creaking sounds.

At this time, a bright pearl that alternated between clear and dark suddenly appeared in Bei Feng’s hand. Countless wisps of black electricity dashed along its surface, and from a distance, it looked as like the countless cracks on a ripped space.

“Not a bad trump card.”

Wang Wuyou’s lips twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the pearl. At this moment, he felt like he’d been reverse-f*cked while trying to bully someone. By rights, he should have no opponents in this current era—apart from nuclear weapons, there wasn’t anything that could threaten him. But right now, it felt as if he had been smacked viciously on the face.

Wang Wuyu and Bei Feng both refused to budge. Nobody made a move first, and none of them dared to make a move.

At this time, Wang Wuyou was resentful in his heart. Was his rational mind retained too perfectly? Otherwise, in this situation, he would have directly attacked regardless of the consequences normally.

“We’ve found a way to leave this world.”

After some time, when Wang Wuyou’s irises turned even darker red, Bei Feng flipped his hands and the pearl instantly vanished.

“What?! Are you speaking the truth?!”

Wang Wuyou suddenly became agitated, and his aura blasted out chaotically. The entire mountain seemed to be wrapped in a violent storm as countless branches and peach trees were broken apart.

Bai Xiang, the Cerberus and Mystic One did not hesitate and placed themselves in front of the mansion, forcefully blocking the wild aura. Only then did the villa managed to escape unscathed.

“Don’t be too agitated, it’s just a possibility that’s not confirmed yet.”

Bei Feng laid everything out in advance in case Wang Wuyou became too enamored by his words. Also, if the entire matter turned out to be nothing but false hopes at the end of the day, Wang Wuyou’s rage would not be pleasant to suffer.

Wang Wuyou gradually calmed down and said with interest, “When This King was sitting on the throne and sweeping through the lands with my Wu Kingdom’s army, we’ve already tried to search for three whole years for a way to leave this planet. In the end, This King was still forced to use this method to forcefully advance in the martial path. This King is very curious as to how you plan to leave this planet.”

“The First Qin Emperor’s mausoleum!” Bei Feng replied seriously.

“So that’s the case. Indeed, there might really be a passage out in the First Qin Emperor’s mausoleum.”

Wang Wuyou nodded his head with understanding. That was the first emperor of China! No matter how conceited Wang Wuyou was, he did not dare to compare himself to Qin Shihuang.

The Qin Dynasty had been incomparably glorious back then, but it’d actually collapsed in such a short time. No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem possible. As for Qin Shihuang, had he really died already? Wang Wuyou did not really believe it.

The might of the Qin Dynasty was extremely overbearing back then. Qin Shihuang’s army had swept through the lands in all directions in an unstoppable manner, and the dynasty was extremely stable. There were countless experts in his army; Void Gu realm and Transcendent realm experts were as common as clouds. Even experts of higher cultivation realms were quite abundant.

The most likely possibility for that powerful dynasty to crumble so quickly was that Qin Shihuang had brought large numbers of the Qin Dynasty’s experts and left the earth. The ones remaining were only mere puppets!

The Qin Dynasty army’s battle prowess was incredibly high. One had to know that after the Qin Dynasty unified the six major states, even during their most glorious era, even their newly recruited army was not a bunch of rookies that’d not seen blood.

If Xiang Yu 1 had been too powerful, then perhaps the outcome could be justified. But Liu Bang’s 2 army had been formed with a bunch of random soldiers which even the weakest Qin army unit could crush with ease!

“This King had looked into this matter as well in the past. We found out that the Qin Dynasty’s collapse had been far too rapid, and the suspicious points are too great to ignore. But if there’s really a passage in the Qin Emperor’s mausoleum to the outside world, that would explain everything: Qin Shihuang brought large numbers of elites with him and left the world,” Wang Wuyou said softly as a hopeful look flashed through his eyes.

“If it was in the past, This King wouldn’t have been able to enter the Qin Emperor mausoleum even if we’d found it. But it’s different now; the Heavens and Earth have changed drastically, and Lingqi is extremely thin. Most of the formations in the mausoleum should have broken down already. There might actually be some hope now!”

Wang Wuyou’s mood was currently very good. The moment he came out, he’d already received such good news.

Bei Feng nodded and said, “We just happen to be moving out tomorrow for the Qin Emperor mausoleum. You can rest here today if you want to, and we’ll go together tomorrow.”

The Qin Emperor mausoleum was constantly shifting its position, so even if someone told him that there weren’t any dangers inside, he wouldn’t believe it no matter what. Under such circumstances, an additional powerful aid would instead let him relax even more.

“Sure,” Wang Wuyou agreed directly without thinking much.

Bei Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed in the direction of the villa. A huge pot immediately flew out of the villa, following which, a few plates and chopsticks also appeared on the table.

“Poof!”

The moment the blood and Qi energy that Bei Feng had laid over the large blue pot was released, a large amount of steam and mist that not even the wind could disperse burst out of it, forming a figure of a huge toad that was raising its head and croaking at the sky!

Only after a long time did the toad-shaped-mist in the sky disappear and rush back into the pot.

A unique fragrance surged out, causing the spirits of those who smelled it to tremble slightly. The smell was somewhat similar to potent ginseng, opening the pores on the body.

“What a strong medicinal energy. This beast is not ordinary, is it? I didn’t expect that this level of mutant Demonic Beast still exists in this era!”

Wang Wuyou’s eyes lit up as he looked at the boiled toad in the pot.

“This Demonic Beast is not ordinary at all; it has a tiny bit of the Heaven Devouring Toad’s bloodline in its body, and its strength is incredible. It wasn’t easy to catch this fellow. This Demon Python Vine is also an extremely rare thing. I’m a person who only loves delicious food, and will go to great lengths to procure the ingredients. I’ve incurred your ridicule,” Bei Feng introduced pretentiously. There was no way he could tell Wang Wuyou that the food had been fished over from another world.

Bei Feng’s hands did not stop as he spoke. With a wave of his hand, a few small bowls appeared on the table. Then, he picked up a ladle and scooped out a bowl of clear yellow soup. A thin layer of oil floated atop the soup, along with some lycium chinense.

The soup looked clear and light, but as soon as the ladle broke through the layer of oil on top, a thick meaty fragrance rose out.

Three large porcelain plates were carried out by Mystic One and the rest and laid out on the table.

Following that, Bei Feng scooped out the Demonic Beast meat and placd them on the plates that’d been prepared.

Wang Wuyou looked at Bai Xiang and the rest who were standing on the side, sighed and said, “Forget it, This King’s kingdom has already fallen, and there’s no need to put on airs anymore. Since we’re all cultivators on the same path, let’s sit down and eat together.”

Bei Feng’s eyebrows twitched lightly when he heard that. If any outsiders were here, they might still think that Wang Wuyou was the owner and host of the place! Still, the open-mindedness of this fellow had been far beyond his expectations.

The Cerberus was still very fearful of Wang Wuyou. The latter had stared at it in such a way that all its hair had stood up on its ends earlier. It did not doubt that this human was seriously considering eating it just then!

With a plop of its butt, the Cerberus sat down on a chair and looked at the Demonic Beast meat before it with wide eyes. The only thing it was lacking was a mouthful of drool.

Wang Wuyou’s face stiffened immediately. Damn his grandpa, this dog really did not stand on ceremony! No matter what, he was a proper king! To think that he would fall to the point of having to share a table with a dog one day.

Wang Wuyou’s nose nearly went crooked with rage, barely controlling himself from smacking that idiotic creature to death with a single slap. It was one thing to let the other two humans eat at the same table as him, but what the hell was the deal with this dog!?

Luckily, before Wang Wuyou had finished deciding whether he wanted to slap the dog to death, Bei Feng picked up a bowl, scooped a large serving of meat and passed it to the Cerberus. In an instant, it picked up the bowl and ran far away.

An animal’s instinct was much more sensitive than humans’. The Cerberus could feel a strong danger, as if someone wanted to do it harm. And apart from Wang Wuyou, everyone else were familiar faces. Since it could not defeat its opponent, it could only tuck its tail in and run away!

The meal continued with Bai Xiang and Mystic One both sitting on the edges of their seats, not daring to eat too loudly. This fellow was simply too strong. And from the look of it, he didn’t seem like a nice person as well.

The toad’s leg meat had been cut into thumb-sized chunks, and each piece was incredibly tender and smooth. With a light bite, the juice in the meat exploded in the mouth.

The snow-white Demon Python Vine was crunchy, but the more one chewed, the more of countless fine powderish particles would be unleashed on the tongue. Somehow, the particles did not create a sticky texture.

Both ingredients were extremely nutritous, and even when compared to the delicacies in Wang Wuyou’s era, this dish could be considered a rare treasure!

The soup was just a simple clear base, but the toad’s meat did not have any raw or fishy taste at all. The Demon Python Vine was also extremely light, easily merging with the soup.

“How is it? Is there any movement from that person? Or did the people from Kunlun’s side make contact with him yet? Tell them to hurry up!”

In the conference room, the large numbers of old high-ranking officials were in a terrible mood. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were filled with fatigue. Cigarette smoke shrouded the conference room.

The strength that Wang Wuyou had shown was simply too great. His identity was also a question mark, and he seemed to be an unpredictable character. Most importantly, a 50 km wide area had been completely destroyed when he’d first appeared. This strength was the reason that everyone was so anxious!

That person was like a humanoid nuclear weapon, and such strength was enough to wipe out a city everywhere he went!

Nobody knew if that level of attack was executed by Wang Wuyou himself, but nobody dared to bet otherwise. What would they do if the other party really had control over such power?

After all, to them, Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts already seemed like very overpowered characters. They were people that could only be controlled by nuclear weapons. So, it didn’t seem like such a ridiculous notion that a human could create that level of destruction.

A middle-aged man stood up and said in a firm tone, “Chief, according to our latest intelligence, that person is now at the outskirts of Qingcheng, at a place called Blue Spirit Mountain Villas. There aren’t many people there, and it’s over 20 km away from the city. There’re also large mountains acting as a natural barrier. If we drop a small-scale nuclear bomb there, it wouldn’t affect the city much.”
