CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 171: A FENG SHUI PARADISE FIT FOR BURIAL

"To seek the dragon, split the gold, observe the winding peaks, one winding peak after another, if there are eight strongholds at the gate, there must be a king or noble buried therein."

After entering Longhua Mountain, Qiu Xiangyuan held a compass in his hand and began to speak mysteriously, "Let me tell you, all mountains east of the Great River and north of the Floodwaters originate here. Therefore, Longhua Mountain is considered the ancestral mountain of this region, and people from Star City call it ’Shaozu Mountain.’

Ye Qingzhou nodded repeatedly as he listened, "So, this place is very suitable for burying people, right?"

"That’s correct. This location, with its undulating mountains and surroundings on three sides, has sentimental winding waters. It is the treasure land for storing wind and gathering Qi, most suitable for burying the remains of ancestors. Through arrays and secret techniques, the earth’s Qi can be transformed, and, connected by bloodline, the descendants can enjoy thirty years of auspicious fortune, turning misfortune into blessings and prosperity."

Qiu Xiangyuan, being a Master-level figure proficient in feng shui and secret techniques, naturally spoke without a single false word.

Ye Qingzhou, with his Flawless Sword Heart, evidently sensed that what Qiu Xiangyuan said was true, so he shouted loudly, "Since everyone has heard, why not show yourselves?"

Qiu Xiangyuan was shocked by these words, nervously glancing around, "Ye Qianlong, it’s just you and me here, could there be others?"

"Dr. Qiu, no need to be nervous; just a few uninvited guests."

"Ye Qingzhou!"

A thundering roar came from all directions, startling the birds in the mountains.

Immediately, five figures suddenly appeared in front of Ye Qingzhou.

The leader was an elderly man with graying hair, yet his face showed no signs of aging, instead appearing rosy and full, with a vigorous spirit.

Especially his eyes, bright and full of killing intent.

Among the other four was a familiar face to Ye Qingzhou, none other than Lii Jian’en, who once tried to bribe him to throw the match during the Sword Fighting Competition.

Upon seeing Lii Jian’en, Ye Qingzhou guessed the identity of the elderly man before him, "Lian City Lii Clan?"

The Lii Family’s delay wasn’t due to patience but because their family’s ancestor had only recently ended his seclusion, giving the Lian City Lii Clan the confidence to seek revenge.

"I am Lii Yaoping, so you, this bastard, crippled my good grandson?"

Lii Yaoping’s tiger-like eyes swept over, and a powerful mental pressure suddenly descended like a tidal wave, pressing heavily on Ye Qingzhou’s shoulders, the overwhelming weight akin to a mountain.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure from all sides, this sense of being opposed to the world made Ye Qingzhou’s expression change, "Qi Penetrating Heaven and Earth, Martial Arts Master?"

At this moment, Lii Yaoping’s Divine Thought resonated with the heavens and earth, and True Qi merged with nature, forming a Bridge of Heaven and Earth. His True Qi directly covered the area within several miles, so with a glance or a thought, he could command the surrounding power of nature, moving mountains and overturning seas, crushing towards Ye Qingzhou.

When he learned Ye Qingzhou sought the Dragon Vein, Lii Yaoping began setting up this deadly trap; Qiu Xiangyuan and Xu Yunxi were unknowingly used by the Lian City Lii Clan.

Now, the Lii Family had mobilized nearly their entire force; one Master, four Professional Level fighters, such a luxurious kill-squad was equivalent to half the Martial Arts Association of Linjiang City being dispatched.

This shows that Lii Yaoping’s arrogance was feigned; to deal with Ye Qingzhou, the Martial Arts Hidden Dragon, he took no chances, setting up a Celestial Net to cut off all of Ye Qingzhou’s vitality.

"Ye Qingzhou, you crippled my grandson’s limbs, and today, I’ll take your worthless life in repayment."

Words full of murderous intent spilled from Lii Yaoping’s mouth.

Lii Jian’en and the other three Lii family experts each took a position at a corner, forming a siege against Ye Qingzhou, allowing him no chance to escape.

After surveying with his gaze, Ye Qingzhou placed his hand on his sword, unable to help but sigh.

Lii Yaoping stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a condescending tone, "To regret your life now is too late. When you laid hands on my grandson, you should have foreseen today’s outcome."

"You misunderstand, I merely heard that the Lian City Lii Clan has no successors, now struggling with only one elder Master. If you, this old man, die here, won’t the Lii Clan be wiped out? I have no deep-seated hatred towards the Lii Family; Lii Wei wanted to cripple my limbs, so I retaliated in kind, and let bygones be bygones. Yet you insist on delivering yourselves to death, ungrateful and ignorant, isn’t it both pitiful and lamentable?"

Lii Yaoping was disdainful of Ye Qingzhou’s audacious words; having roamed the Martial Arts World for decades, he had never seen someone so arrogant, facing death yet unaware of repentance, he sneered, "Just you?"

"Indeed, just me."

Clang~

As the Flame Emperor Sword unsheathed in response, at the moment the words fell, Ye Qingzhou’s figure moved instantly, in almost the blink of an eye, he retrieved the armor made of Unbreakable Iron from the Xayu Treasure Ring and donned it.

Second Gear, activate!

Super Divine Speed!

Fire Separation Fierce Sky!

In less than half a second, Ye Qingzhou accelerated from stillness to twelve times the speed of sound!

Such powerful inertia would shred an ordinary Professional Level Martial Artist to pieces, their internal organs rupturing to death.

But having mastered "Refining True Gold in Fire," the Immortal True Body brought Ye Qingzhou’s physical strength to a level comparable to the Jiao Dragon, even at twelve times the speed of sound, as sparks flew off his skin from the impact, he remained unharmed, wielding his sword forward.

With the Six Techniques Unleashed, the Sword Intent transformed into a True Dragon, forcefully unifying every ounce of power within Ye Qingzhou, extracting every ounce of potential.
