Chapter 404

Qin Yun had previously heard from Hong Yan that the Royal Sects would bring outstanding disciples to participate in the martial arts competition to fight for the chance to enter an ancient garden.

Qin Yun did not know what benefit’s he would gain by entering an ancient garden.

The reason why all the major powers were paying so much attention to this competition was definitely because of the Ancient Era’s Garden.

“The three Royal Sects of the Northern Region are the Fire King Sect, the Mighty Heaven Royal Clan and the Overlord Sect! They both have some connections to the Totem Pavilion. Especially the Fire King School, their relationship with Totem Pavilion should be the deepest!” Xiao Yuemei said.

When Qin Yun saw the group of people, he clenched his fists and said with a deep voice, “It’s because these fellows are too overbearing that Honglan has become like this! I won’t let them off!”

“Totem Pavilion should only be able to control the Northern Region. After all, the Northern Region is the closest place to the road to Thorn Devil.” Xiao Yuemei was wandering outside and knew many things.

Qin Yun whispered, “Who knows, the disciples of Totem Pavilion might also participate!”

Xiao Yuemei said: “Brother, quickly register! There must be a lot of good stuff inside that ancient garden. If the disciples of those guys were to go in for a year, they can create something good so that they can become stronger in the future!”

Qin Yun nodded and quickly left for the tower.

As he entered the first floor of the tower, he saw many people waiting for him.

As soon as he arrived at the great hall, he saw Hong Mengshu speaking to several well-dressed young men and women. They seemed to be from king level sects or the children of other Martial Kings.

Even though Hong Mengshu was a princess, her attire was rather simple. Right now she was wearing a long, plain white dress with a pair of long ponytail hanging down to her waist. Her charming jade face had a smile along with a hint of arrogance.

She crossed her arms over her chest and chatted and laughed with the handsome men and women. It was obvious that they were on good terms.

Qin Yun did not go over, nor did Hong Mengshu notice him.

There were too many people here and there were also many disciples from famous sects. For the time being, he didn’t want to make too much of a noise.

He entered a room and registered.

When registering, one had to take out the jade token from the Northern Desolate land.

When Qin Yun took out the Nine Extinction Gate’s jade token, the registered elder was slightly surprised.

“Are you called Qin Yun?” After the old man recovered from his surprise, he smiled and asked.

“En!” Qin Yun smiled and nodded. He had walked in wearing a hood, so no one recognized him.

“You have a lot of strong opponents this time! One of them was a disciple of Totem Pavilion. Moreover, he has dual dao core. It is said that he also have very strong totems!” The old man said in a low voice.

“How many disciples are in Totem Pavilion?” Qin Yun asked in surprise.

“One!” The old man said in a low voice, “When you compete with them, you need to be careful!”

The elder made a jade token for him to compete in a martial arts competition. He handed it to Qin Yun and said, “If nothing goes wrong, the disciples sent by the Royal Sects will also have totems on their bodies!”

“They are so powerful, they even have totems!” Qin Yun exclaimed.

The old man said: “It was given to them by Totem Pavilion! Totem Pavilion has a powerful Inscription Master. He can carve totem tattoos on bodies, allowing people to obtain powerful totems.”

“However, not everyone is qualified to receive a totem!”

Qin Yun nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Senior. This child will definitely pay attention!”

“You’re welcome!” The old man smiled, “As long as you are careful!”

Qin Yun left the room and hurried out of the hall. Hong Mengshu was no longer there as well.

In the evening, Qin Yun returned to the small building in the east district. He had also discovered how powerful the sects of the eastern region was!

He entered the hall and saw Wei Zhongzheng sitting on a chair, resting with his eyes closed.

“Sect master!” Qin Yun was slightly surprised as he shouted, “You came back so quickly!”

Wei Zhongzheng had only been out for a few days!

“I used my fastest speed to head to the Sword Profound Mountain!” When Wei Zhongzheng saw Qin Yun, he smiled. “You went to register?”

Qin Yun nodded and hurriedly asked, “Sect Master, then how is the situation with the Sword Profound Mountain?”

“Hmph, the entire mountain was smashed flat by me. There are no longer any sword profound mountains in the Northern Region!” Wei Zhongzheng stroked his long beard and sneered: “Next up is Totem Pavilion and those king level sects!”

When Qin Yun heard that, he was as shocked as a wave!

Wei Zhongzheng had really gone to raze the Sword Profound Mountain flat and in such a short period of time!

Qin Yun suppressed the shock in his heart and sat down. He said, “Sect Master, Honglan’s martial spirit has returned. All that’s left is the Exquisite Profound Fruit! But the Exquisite Profound Fruit is not easy to find!”

“Honglan’s poison can’t be dragged out for too long, otherwise it will spread throughout the body!” Wei Zhongzheng’s expression was grave. “I will let her join our Nine Extinction Profound Gate. This way, I can help her suppress the poison every once in a while!”

Qin Yun said with a frown, “Sect Master, how long can this last?”

“A maximum of two years! That poison came from the Ancient Demonic Spider and only the Exquisite Profound Fruit can completely remove it!” Wei Zhongzheng said, “You should also know that the martial arts competition in the Inscription Royal City is aimed at the ancient gardens, right?”

“Sect Leader, you mean to say that the Exquisite Profound Fruit is in the ancient garden?” Qin Yun’s heart stirred as he hurriedly asked.

“There must be! The Ancient Demonic Spider was a poisonous object from an ancient garden! However, entering an ancient garden requires a garden entrance token!” Wei Zhongzheng let out a helpless sigh, “Even if you can get the right to enter, you won’t be able to do so without the passage token provided by a king level sects!”

Qin Yun hurriedly took out a thin golden token and handed it to Wei Zhongzheng. He said, “Sect Master, take a look!”

“Ancient Garden Passage Order!” When Wei Zhong saw it, he suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Qin Yun in shock. “Little Yun, where are you from?”

“An elder left it for me!” Qin Yun did not elaborate.

“Only Royal Sects would have such a thing! I heard that there’s a total of only about twenty of them!” Wei Zhongzheng looked at it carefully before returning the pass to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun said, “It depends on whether or not I can obtain the qualification!”

“This is indeed not easy because those fellows all have totems! But you don’t have to pressure yourself too much, if not, we’ll think of another way!” Wei Zhongzheng patted Qin Yun on the shoulder and said, “I’m going to rest!”

It was dark now and Xiao Yuemei went back to her room early to rest.

As for Qin Yun, he continued standing in the hall and thinking about the ancient gardens.

Late at night, just as Qin Yun was about to return to his room, he saw Wei Zhongzheng walk out.

“Someone is approaching!” Wei Zhongzheng hurriedly transmitted his voice to Qin Yun and signaled for him to keep quiet and hide.

Qin Yun and Wei Zhongzheng were hurriedly hiding beside tables and chairs in the hall.

Within the quiet hall, the sound of very soft footsteps suddenly rang out, along with a very faint, unique aura.

Then, something suddenly penetrated through the closed door.

It was a black-robed old man and on his arm was a small black snake.

Qin Yun was alarmed. He never expected that the black-robed elder would be able to enter without damaging the door. This was a very miraculous power.

What surprised him the most was that the little snake on the old man’s arm was the Soul Devouring Spirit Snake that Honglan mentioned!

There was a weak light in the hall, allowing Qin Yun to clearly see the old man’s face. His skinny face was covered in wrinkles and his dark green eyes shone with a cold glow.

This old man gave off sinister vibes from head to toe.

The moment the old man entered the small hall, he realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to leave, Wei Zhongzheng suddenly ran out and struck the old man in the stomach with his palm.

Following that, Wei Zhongzheng released a whip of fire and tied up the black-clothed old man. He even grabbed that small black snake.

“You…You are Wei Zhongzheng!” The old man was extremely astonished. “Why are you here?”

Qin Yun walked out as well and said, “Sect Master, it’s this fellow who took away Honglan’s martial spirit. I never expected him to come here!”

Looking at the little snake, Wei Zhongzheng said, “This is a Soul Devouring Spirit Snake. It requires a thousand years to hatch and then it takes two to three thousand years to awaken it’s soul-devouring abilities. However, this is a very precious spirit beast! In the Totem Pavilion, only Soul Refiners can have this kind of spirit snakes!”

Xiao Yuemei also came out of her room at this time. She was extremely excited when she heard that someone had ambushed them.

She took out a few needles, walked over and said, “Old man, quickly hand over the Red Orchid martial spirit! Otherwise, I will insert the poison needle into your body!”

“The Red Orchid Martial Spirit is not in my hands! Don’t mess with me, I’m the only Soul Refiner in the Martial Desolate Land of Totem Pavilion. If I die. Totem Pavilion will not let you off!” The old man said with a panicked expression.

“Then what are you doing here?” Wei Zhongzheng said coldly.

The black-clothed old man’s voice trembled a bit and he said very fearfully, “I…My Spirit Serpent sensed that there were a few very good Martial Spirit’s here, so I couldn’t help but come over to take a look. I have no ill intentions, I just wanted to see those rare and powerful Martial Spirits!”

Wei Zhongzheng glanced at Qin Yun and indicated that he could begin.

Qin Yun took out a flag array and said with a smile, “I’ll set up a soundproofing array first!”

“You can’t kill me! All the elders of the Totem Pavilion are here, they are all Martial Kings!” The black-clothed old man was at the peak of the Xuan Martial Realm but he met Wei Zhongzheng unfortunately.

The black-clothed old man also knew that he couldn’t rush around randomly in the Eastern District. However, he couldn’t help but run over to take a look because of his greedy heart due to the Spirit Serpent’s strong perception of martial spirit.

Qin Yun’s Nether Sun Martial Spirit, Vibration Martial Spirit and Xiao Yuemei’s Mirror Martial Spirit were all extremely powerful and rare. No wonder that spirit serpent was so sensitive.

“What are all of you doing!?” When the black-clothed elder saw Qin Yun set up a sound-insulating array, he was even more alarmed.

After Qin Yun was done, he walked over to the elder and said with a smile, “Senior is a Soul Refiner, right? What a coincidence, this child is also a Soul Refiner. I’ll let senior see if my Soul Refining Art is powerful enough!”

“You…You are Qin Yun? Aren’t you an Inscription Master? How could you still be a Soul Refiner!” The black-clothed old man was so scared that his face turned blue.
