Chapter 81: Meeting Chu Tiange Again {Ninth Update}

8 min read1,923 words

Suddenly, four experts at the Life Seizing Realm and many Qi Sect disciples arrived, and Yang Qi and his four companions instinctively took a step back.

However, how sharp were Chu Tiange's eyes?

In an instant, he spotted Yang Qi.

"It's you?"

He had a deep impression of Yang Qi. Back in the ancient city, Yang Qi defeated Song Haishan, who was at the Qi Transformation stage of the Eighth Level of Qi Gong. Chu Tiange had once promised Yun Hailan that if she owed him a favor, he would kill Yang Qi. However, Yun Hailan did not agree and had other plans.

Because of this, as soon as he landed, his gaze locked onto Yang Qi.

In fact, he didn't know that Yang Qi was the person who fought and defeated him during his battle with Jing Wuxue. If he knew, he might have spat blood.

That day, amidst the heavy snow, Yang Qi used the Four Seasons Sword Technique, the Winter Snow Qi Gong, and the Armor of the Dark God, making it impossible to discern his true appearance. Even his aura was that of a hellish demon, and no one could recognize that this student of the Outer Academy of the Heaven Position Academy was the mysterious person from that day.

"How about it? Chu Tiange, do you recognize this student? They're just a group of Outer Academy students. Let's go. We need to enter the Corpse Mountain Range and find the twisted space-time to enter the Heavenly Corpse Graveyard. The zombie tide is about to break out, and when those zombies attack, it will be a major event."

An elite student at the Life Seizing Realm glanced at Yang Qi and the others and said to Chu Tiange.

"These students are like ants to me, not worth mentioning. However, don't underestimate this one. He defeated a Qi Sect student at the Eighth Level of Qi Gong and has a deep connection with Yun Hailan. Now, Yun Hailan is a rising star in our Elite Academy, receiving the cultivation of the Crown Prince and about to break through to the Life Seizing Realm. It's rumored that the Crown Prince has even given her three drops of the Life Spring."

Chu Tiange pointed at Yang Qi, his face half-smiling, half-serious.

"Senior Brother Tiange, all the senior brothers, we greet you. We dare not delay your important matters."

Hua Yinhu saw that Chu Tiange seemed to have ill intentions toward Yang Qi and hurriedly tried to leave.

"Hold it!"

Chu Tiange suddenly spoke in a sinister tone.

Yang Qi's heart stirred, and he stopped. He knew that Chu Tiange was a very deep person and had never had a good impression of him. He was probably going to make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through Yang Qi's mind, Chu Tiange said, "Yang Qi, you defeated Song Haishan, a Ninth Level Qi Sect student, when you were at the Eighth Level of Qi Gong. Now that you've advanced to the Qi Sect, you must be even more powerful. I've heard you've taken the Air Absorbing Divine Grass. Why don't you show us what level you've reached and if you have potential? If you have potential, the three experts of the Gentlemen's Party here wouldn't mind taking you as a member."

"Hmm?"

The three leaders of the Gentlemen's Party looked at Yang Qi with interest. "You've taken the Air Absorbing Grass and could defeat a Ninth Level student at the Eighth Level. You seem to have potential. Show us your Qi Gong. If it satisfies us, we'll assign you some tasks to test your loyalty, and then you can join the Gentlemen's Party."

"Assign some tasks to test loyalty and join the Gentlemen's Party!"

Yang Qi almost instantly understood what Chu Tiange was up to.

The Gentlemen's Party is the second largest party in the Heaven Position Academy, second only to the ***. Joining it can bring many benefits, but the assessment is extremely strict. After joining, one must undergo various trainings, which Yang Qi was unwilling to be bound by.

Moreover, he now knew that joining the Gentlemen's Party required passing very harsh tests.

Clearly, Chu Tiange wanted Yang Qi to be tested and then killed during the test. Although he was not a member of the Gentlemen's Party but a member of the ***, his words still carried weight. It was highly likely that the Gentlemen's Party leaders would listen to his suggestion and conduct the test in the Corpse Mountain Range.

If Yang Qi refused to join, it would be like openly slapping the Gentlemen's Party in the face, making his future in the academy very difficult.

It was a double-edged sword. With a casual word, Yang Qi was put in a difficult position.

Moreover, as Chu Tiange spoke, his eyes flickered with deep plots. Yang Qi was almost certain that he had ulterior motives.

"Yang Qi, I'm recommending you to the Gentlemen's Party because I see potential in you. What do you think? Many students in the academy would give anything to join the Gentlemen's Party." Chu Tiange said lightly.

"Sorry, I don't want to join the Gentlemen's Party. I'm used to being free."

Yang Qi's heart was filled with cold laughter as he spoke, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became tense.

"Kid, have you got the courage of a lion?" A Gentlemen's Party Inner Academy student, a Qi Sect expert, shouted, "Don't be ungrateful. The three elite senior brothers at the Life Seizing Realm are far above you. They look at you favorably, and you dare to be disrespectful."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the three Life Seizing Realm experts of the Gentlemen's Party had their faces turn dark, as if they were about to act. However, one of the men spoke, "Since that's the case, we won't force it. A mere disciple, if he doesn't want to join, so be it. Let's go. We don't want to waste time on this small fry."

As he spoke, the three men flew into the air, coldly snorted, and their voices were like thunder, directly pressing down on Yang Qi and his four companions.

Immediately, the five of them retreated, each sitting on the ground. Yang Qi's face was pale, and the others spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Yang Qi was naturally faking it, while the others were genuinely injured by the sound waves.

"Kid, you better think carefully. I gave you a chance, and you've thrown it away. In the future, you'll realize how foolish you were." Chu Tiange flew up, like a meteor, piercing through the dark "Corpse Mountain Range" and entering the depths.

After a long time, Yang Qi got up from the ground, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent. He pointed his finger, and four streams of pure, heavy true qi entered the bodies of the four, easing their injuries.

"Yang Qi, this Chu Tiange is despicable. With just a few words, he made us offend the Gentlemen's Party. Our future will be tough." Li He shook his head, his lips seeming to contain a bitter herb, his face full of sorrow.

"Don't worry, Chu Tiange will eventually reap what he sows." Yang Qi's body trembled, and the mud and dirt on his clothes were all shaken off.

Here, close to the Corpse Mountain Range, the ground was already polluted by the corpse poison, emitting a rotten, foul smell.

The ground was covered in clumps of rotten mud, like decayed meat, and the stench made one want to vomit.

Occasionally, one could see some white bones floating in the mud, belonging to people from unknown eras who had died in these mountains. Yang Qi recently learned that every time, a massive zombie tide would erupt from these mountains, with a vast army of zombies emerging to plunder the living, converting their flesh and blood into more zombies, making the corpse qi in the mountains increasingly dense.

With the experience from the Black Corpse Mountain Range, Yang Qi knew that the mountains were actually ancient tombs, where many prominent figures were buried. These tombs contained many treasures, but they were filled with traps, and many students from the Heaven Position Academy had died inside them.

"Wave Shield!"

After composing themselves, the five of them headed into the mountains. Each of their bodies was enveloped in a transparent, egg-like aura shield, a typical Qi Gong of the Heaven Position Academy. Once activated, the true qi formed an egg-like shell, completely enveloping the body, protecting against all evil.

As they flew, the sha qi, poison qi, and corpse qi became increasingly dense.

Strangely, there were trees growing in the mountains. However, these trees were bizarre, with no leaves, and their trunks were bone-colored, like bone trees.

"These are the unique bone trees of the Corpse Mountain Range. Be careful, don't get too close. Some bone trees can suddenly shoot out bone spines, which can penetrate protective true qi. Many students from the Heaven Position Academy have died under these bone trees."

Hua Yinhu saw Yang Qi approaching a large bone tree to examine it and immediately warned him.

Before he finished speaking, the bone tree, which was several people wide, suddenly trembled, and dozens of bone spines, like long spears, shot out from the tree.

The bone spines were spiral-shaped, spinning at high speed, creating a sharp, piercing sound, like meteors streaking across the sky.

Strangely, from the rotten mud on the ground, several bone hands emerged, reaching out to grab Yang Qi's feet, trying to pull him into the ground.

Bang!

Yang Qi released his Qi Gong, shattering the bone spines. With a stomp, the bone hands exploded. At the same time, his body rose, and from a high vantage point, he struck a palm, causing the bone tree to shake. Then, with a powerful grip, he uprooted the entire bone tree, revealing a large hole in the ground.

The hole was deep and dark, with black qi seeping out, seemingly leading to an unknown place.

"Go to the distant mountain and check the situation. I feel that this bone tree was just now manipulated by a mysterious force. This mysterious force comes from a tomb underground, possibly a powerful Corpse King. I'll go and investigate to see what dangers and treasures lie in the depths of the tomb." Yang Qi called out, pointing to a distant mountain: "There's a large tomb there, and the mysterious force just now came from that tomb."

"Alright, Brother Yang, go and investigate."

After a brief discussion, Yang Qi directly flew into the dark, deep hole, while the other four flew off in the distance.

Buzz!

As soon as Yang Qi entered the dark hole, he immediately felt a cold wind that made his hair stand on end. It was a long tunnel, leading deep underground, winding and twisting like a maze, clearly the passage of a tomb.

Deep underground, the ground was no longer rotten but hard rock, a tomb built by a prominent figure from an unknown era.
