My Master Knows It All

1369: Chapter 329_4 1369: Chapter 329_4 “Let’s go, into the other burial mounds!”

The members of the Great Teachings who had been prepared to act earlier suddenly turned around and flew toward the other burial mounds.

Although Xiang Ziyu had taken all the treasures from the burial mound of the Heaven Prayers Sect Hierarch, there were still other burial mounds here.

Watching the others move, Xiang Ziyu naturally followed suit, flying toward one of the burial mounds.

Mid-flight, he heard Immortal Bi Yue’s voice transmitting directly to his mind.

“Where is your master?” Immortal Bi Yue was filled with confusion, wondering why Cao Zhen had not appeared.

“My master…

My master is hiding not far away right now,” Xiang Ziyu hastily replied, already plunging into one of the burial mounds.

Immortal Bi Yue grew even more baffled.

Cao Zhen is hiding?

Why would he hide?

Although puzzled, she couldn’t afford to ask further questions at the moment, as she also needed to compete for the treasures within the burial mounds.

Previously, when everyone fought over the resources of the various treasure vaults, the battles were fierce.

But now, during the contest over the burial mounds, direct physical clashes were not as frequent.

After all, there were far more burial mounds than treasure vaults, and besides, the resources within the burial mounds couldn’t compare to those inside the treasure vaults.

Of course, the burial mound of the Heaven Prayers Sect Hierarch might be an exception, but no one knew how many treasures were hidden there.

Being cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, none of them had personally set up a burial mound like those experts did.

They simply speculated that treasures in burial mounds belonging to the True Immortal Realm could be extraordinarily precious, but there was no way to determine just how valuable they might be.

Moreover, no matter how precious those treasures were, they could never compare to the Heaven Prayers Sect’s greatest treasure vault, which housed the accumulation of 1.4 million years of history!

Xiang Ziyu quickly departed from the burial mound.

Just as he was about to head into another one, a disciple of the Cloud Reaching Sect hurriedly reminded him, “Elder Xiang, all the burial mounds have already been excavated.

At this point, unless you’re ready to face someone directly in combat and snatch the treasures they’ve already taken, you won’t gain anything.”

So many burial mounds had already been looted?

Xiang Ziyu was momentarily stunned, but seeing the actions of the crowd around him, he quickly realized what was happening.

No matter how many burial mounds there were, they couldn’t outnumber the cultivators present here.

Earlier, when the commotion broke out, the vast majority of cultivators—especially disciples from various Great Teachings—had rushed over.

He was only one person, but others operated in packs.

While he could seize one burial mound at a time, a single Great Teaching might have taken five, six, or even as many as ten burial mounds in one swoop!

“If the treasures have already been taken, there’s no point in going back.” Xiang Ziyu quickly returned to the burial mound, dismantled its formations, and placed the remaining useful resources into his Qiankun Bag before leaving.

Outside the burial mound, Immortal Bi Yue saw Xiang Ziyu emerge and immediately asked, “What’s going on with your master?

Why is he hiding?”

Xiang Ziyu had no intention of withholding anything from Immortal Bi Yue and immediately transmitted his voice directly, “My master is injured.

He was previously on the Burial Mound Mountain, where everyone else died; only my master survived.

But my master is severely weakened, so I hid him away.

“I plan to dig him out once others leave…”

“What?

Your master is injured?

Where is he?” Immortal Bi Yue’s urgency spiked upon hearing about Cao Zhen’s injuries.

She even forgot to transmit her voice discreetly and shouted directly, “He’s injured, and instead of helping him heal, you hide him?

Bring him here immediately!”

Immortal Bi Yue understood that hiding Cao Zhen was, under the circumstances, the wisest choice Xiang Ziyu could have made.

But now the situation had changed.

She was present, and she wanted to see who would dare to touch her people.

Immortal Bi Yue’s voice was loud, and she made no attempt to conceal her words.

Everyone nearby clearly heard what she said, and instantly, their gazes turned toward Xiang Ziyu.

Hearing Immortal Bi Yue’s anxious tone, Xiang Ziyu ceased hiding and immediately flew toward the spot where Cao Zhen was concealed, with Immortal Bi Yue following closely behind.

In the next moment, Xiang Ziyu struck the ground, causing clouds of dust to rise and revealing a figure lying there.

His body was covered in blood, and his wounds were smeared with dirt.

Before Xiang Ziyu could take any further action, Immortal Bi Yue had already rushed forward, scooped Cao Zhen into her arms, and pulled out a bottle of pills, quickly feeding him two pills.

The surrounding cultivators looked at Immortal Bi Yue cradling the blood-drenched Cao Zhen in her arms, their expressions growing increasingly strange.

That Cao Zhen had sustained such severe injuries was shockingly evident.

And to think that Cao Zhen had been lying underground not far from them all this time!

Xiang Ziyu…

he truly had nerves of steel.

What if someone had discovered Cao Zhen earlier?

Didn’t he fear that someone might strike and kill Cao Zhen outright?

Furthermore, what if they’d found Cao Zhen and used him to threaten Xiang Ziyu?

Could Xiang Ziyu have been forced to hand over all the treasures he’d acquired?

Unfortunately, it was too late now.

Cao Zhen was already in Immortal Bi Yue’s arms.

Seeing how protective she was, anyone bold enough to harm Cao Zhen now would certainly face her wrath.

Cao Zhen, having been buried in dirt for so long, even had sand coating his eyelids, obscuring his vision slightly as he opened his eyes.

Yet he could distinguish that he was being held in Immortal Bi Yue’s arms.
