Chapter 178

In order to be absolutely safe, the cultivator guarding Xiao Yue Mei would definitely be in the Martial Dao Realm. That was why Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng did not meet any martial dao realm cultivators when they went to Xiao Yu Villa.

“I’ll help you guys check. You definitely can’t mess around! Next up, saving Xiao Yue Mei will be even more difficult. You guys have already alerted them, maybe even I won’t be able to find out where she was moved to.” Duan Qian sternly warned them before hurriedly leaving the Divine Inscription Palace.

Qin Yun brought Xie Wufeng and company to his spacious suite. Their faces were filled with disappointment as they sat in the hall in silence.

Xie Wufeng broke the silence, took out the key he got from Xiao Yu Villa and said, “This key is in Xiao Yu Villa and there is someone watching over it. It definitely isn’t simple!”

Qin Yun took the key and probed it with his mind energy. He said with a nod, “This key is placed on a table that is filled with spirit marks. It seems to be gathering energy for the key.”

“My grandfather said before that Xiao Yu Villa is a dark place and it is extremely cold all year round. It is very suitable for storing demon beast meat and so on.” Meng Fei Ling suddenly said.

“The key should be very important to the Tian Xiao Empire. What are they going to use it for after gathering Yin Qi in such a place?”

Xie Wufeng stood up and walked back and forth meditatively but he did not say anything.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, “The key to gather Yin Qi should be used to open the mausoleum! Could it be that this is the key to the main entrance of the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb?”

Upon hearing Xie Wufeng’s conjecture, Qin Yun and company were moved. They looked at each other in shock.

The Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb! This was the place where the heroes of the Tian Xiao Empire were buried. The people who were buried here were either members of the royal family or those who had contributed greatly to the Tian Xiao Empire.

Murong Daren’s eyes lit up and he said, “Xiao Yang Long from the Tian Xiao Empire is so hateful, how about we go dig his ancestral grave?”

Meng Fei Ling chuckled and said, “Since you want to let me know about this interesting thing, I will definitely participate!”

Huo Zhong also nodded.

Xie Wufeng said, “We have to consider this matter carefully. First, we have to determine whether or not this key can open the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb and then we need to have the strength of at least the eighth level Martial Body. If the Tian Xiao Empire lost their key, they would definitely send even more powerful warriors to guard the Imperial Tomb.”

Qin Yun agreed and said, “Let’s plan this matter in the future!”

Murong Daren said with a smile, “You can’t tell Chief Duan about this!”

Meng Fei Ling said, “Since the Tian Xiao Empire lost this precious key, they definitely wouldn’t reveal it then. This is an extremely embarrassing matter and Chief Duan wouldn’t know about Xiao Yu Villa losing the key.”

If Duan Qian knew that these brats were going to dig up the ancestral tombs of the Tian Xiao Empire, his beard would definitely be twisted in anger.

At daybreak, Duan Qian came to Qin Yun’s suite.

Qin Yun and company did not rest as they waited in the hall for Duan Qian’s news.

Duan Qian replied, “The things you’ve done are very big and angered the Tian Xiao Empire. Right now, the entire street is filled with guards from the Tian Qin Empire and there is a bounty of one hundred million crystal coins to capture the person who did this to Xiao Yu Villa.”

The reaction of the Tian Xiao Empire was huge, which confirmed the importance of the key. As Meng Fei Ling had expected, the Tian Xiao Empire did not tell the world that they lost the key. They were only looking for the person who did it.

Duan Qian continued, “I heard some news that a few carriages left Xiao Yu Villa yesterday afternoon and headed towards the Tian Xiao Pavilion. It is said that most of the experts who were guarding Xiao Yu Villa left with it at that time.”

This was also the reason why Xiao Yu Villa was so easily breached. They had transferred most of the experts away, allowing Qin Yun and company to take advantage of them!

From the looks of it, the Tian Xiao Empire had people plotting to obtain the key to the Imperial Tomb. That was why they could took the opportunity to take it when they were careless.

Xie Wufeng replied: “In that case, Xiao Yue Mei should be inside the Tian Xiao Pavilion. The Tian Xiao Pavilion is located in a large villa which is also open to the public.

“Wait until night, I will go in and investigate. I must find out where Yue Mei is hiding before I can make my move.” Qin Yun said.

He was able to blend into the darkness at night, making it easier for him to infiltrate. Furthermore, he was proficient in formations, allowing him to see through traps and formations.

Duan Qian warned, “You must be careful! There are a lot of powerful people in the Tian Xiao Empire and most of them are not only from the Tian Xiao Empire but also joined blue star palace.”

“Alright, I’ll go and disguise myself now. We’ll move out tonight.” Qin Yun nodded.

“I’ll help you disguise yourself!” Meng Feiling followed him into the room.

After painstakingly putting on makeup, Qin Yun turned into a middle-aged man. There were some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and in order to prevent others from recognizing him from his gaze, Meng Fei Ling had turned his eyes red, as though he had been wounded.

When he saw Qin Yun coming out, Murong Daren said with a smile, “It’s really difficult to recognize him. You can rest assured and go to the Tian Xiao Pavilion!”

Xie Wufeng nodded his head, “I can’t sense your aura either, it should be enough. Moreover, they all thought that if you died, even if someone found out you were sneaking around, they wouldn’t have thought it was you.”

Duan Qian also felt that there was no problem, so he nodded his head.

In the evening, Qin Yun left the Divine Inscription Palace and headed for the Tian Xiao Pavilion alone.

The Tian Xiao Pavilion was built in a villa in the center of the imperial city, very close to the imperial palace.

In normal times, anyone could enter the Tian Xiao Pavilion to drink, eat and live. However, during this period of time, there was a certain limit to entering and leaving the Tian Xiao Pavilion.

For example, one would need a million crystal coins to enter. This was because the buildings in the Tian Xiao Pavilion and the hotel had all skyrocketed during this period of time and it was also a good opportunity to earn some money.

After Qin Yun changed his appearance, he had changed his name to Yuan Bin. Taking out Purple Coins from his Storage Artifact, it proved that he was a wealthy person because not everyone had a Storage artifact.

It wasn’t difficult for him to enter the Tian Xiao Pavilion and head towards the inner hall.

“It was so easy to get in. Is YueMei really here?” Qin Yun was no longer confident. He could only take things one step at a time. He planned to look for Xiao Xuanqin.

Xiao Yue Mei had told him before that Xiao Xuan Qin was very good to her and felt like a family member.

It had to be known that within the Imperial Family, this kind of family was very precious, so he decided to take a gamble. He only bet on Xiao Xuan Qin and was not willing to see Xiao Yue Mei and Xiao Yue Lan being traded as items.

Qin Yun felt that it was extremely likely that he would win the bet. Because Xiao Xuanqin had nearly been sold previously, she hated the behavior of the imperial family.

Qin Yun had a storage spirit artifact, so many distinguished people came over to toast and chat with him at various gatherings in the hall.

It wasn’t until late at night that the several nobles’ banquets in the Tian Xiao Pavilion finally ended.

Qin Yun had also wasted his time eating and drinking. His greatest gain was the information he had gathered regarding Xiao Xuanqin’s residence.

Xiao Xuanqin did not live in the Tian Xiao Pavilion but in a small house in the hotel area.

“Xiao Xuan Qin’s house is in a rose garden. It should be easy to find!” Qin Yun used the unique power of his Black Sun Martial Spirit to cover his body and merge with the darkness.

Suddenly, a group of patrolling men passed by. Qin Yun hurriedly hid in the sparse grass but was not discovered.

Not long after, he found that beautiful garden filled with roses. In the middle of the garden, there was a three-story building with lights shining on the second floor.

Qin Yun carefully approached it and used his mental force to lift his body up into the air. He entered through an open window on the second floor. There were no lights or people in the room.

He hid in this room to investigate the activity on this floor and see who was there.

After a thorough investigation, he discovered that there was a secret room next door. Although it’s aura was very weak, he could still sense that there was someone inside.

“Could it be that Xiao Xuan Qin is cultivating inside?” Qin Yun thought to himself. He had no plans to head there. Normally, the training rooms were very secure so it would be difficult to enter.

He patiently waited in the room.

Not long later, someone suddenly appeared outside the room. Qin Yun was alarmed as he hurriedly jumped onto the beam above the room to hide his presence.

After the door was opened, the Night Light Pearl was lit up by spiritual energy.

The one who came in was a woman, it was Xiao Xuan Qin!

She wore a simple and loose white dress and her face was extremely beautiful. She was elegant and dignified with every movement she made and on her mature and beautiful oval face, there was a tinge of weariness. She was taking off her dress…

Only now did Qin Yun realize that he was in a bathing room with a small pond.

“This is very immoral. I can’t watch it any longer!” Qin Yun closed his eyes. His mind was in a state of chaos as he jumped around in a variety of ways. His eyelids were itchy and he wanted to raise them….

It was precisely because of his unsettled state of mind that he accidentally leaked out a little of his aura.

Xiao Xuanqin suddenly felt a bit of aura coming from the ceiling beams. She suddenly looked over but didn’t see anything.

Qin Yun knew that he had leaked a bit of his aura and his heart was racing. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Xuanqin taking off her outer robes. She was still wearing her underwear.

After all, Xiao Xuan Qin was at the ninth level Martial Body. She was very sure of her senses, so after frowning and thinking for a while, she gently waved her lily-white hands at the beam, releasing an extremely strong tornado of inner strength.

“Crap!” Qin Yun was secretly alarmed before he was swept underwater with his inner force with a “splash”.

Xiao Xuanqin was also frightened to the point that her face lost color and quickly put on a coat. Just as she was about to release a burst of inner force, she saw that the person who stood up from the pool looked extremely familiar.

She raised her jade-like palm and hovered in mid-air. Her face was filled with surprise as she exclaimed, “Qin Yun! Are you a human or a ghost? ”

Previously, she could not see anyone on the beam but Qin Yun was there. Furthermore, she felt that Qin Yun had already died, which was why she felt so.

Furthermore, she felt extremely guilty for Qin Yun’s death. She believed that Qin Yun had turned into a ferocious ghost to find her.

Especially when she thought of the hate in Xiao Yue Mei’s eyes, her heart felt even worse.

Therefore, when she saw Qin Yun, she was pleasantly surprised. She truly wished that Qin Yun wasn’t dead. Only by doing so could she stop Xiao Yue Mei from hating her.
