”Do you have a grudge against this old monster?” Ye Tianchen asked Hu Gao, who appeared extremely furious.

”It’s more than a grudge; the hatred is so deep it can never be reconciled. I must kill him!” Hu Gao was trembling all over, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, wishing he could immediately rush forward to annihilate the Golden Elder.

The Golden Elder was momentarily taken aback, then seemed to recall something, and his eyes widened as he looked at Hu Gao, asking in a deathly tone, ”Are you that little bastard who kicked my weak spot twenty years ago?”

”You finally remember. Give me back my father’s life!”

Hu Gao roared loudly, charging madly at the Golden Elder. The Jade Rope in his hand unfurled swiftly, aiming to bind the Golden Elder, while at the same time Hu Gao threw a punch at the Golden Elder’s head, intending to completely obliterate him.

Even though Ye Tianchen had only recently met Hu Gao, it was the first time he saw Hu Gao so enraged. This guy was naturally a carefree person, occasionally lewd and nonsensical, but rarely held grudges or got angry. It seemed the enmity and hatred between Golden Elder and Hu Gao were indeed significant.

Bang!

The Golden Elder also seemed to have deep hatred against Hu Gao. The Golden Mace blocked Hu Gao’s Jade Rope, while simultaneously delivering a palm strike that sent Hu Gao retreating. Hu Gao’s cultivation was only at the Early-stage Martial Venerate, rather less than the old monster Golden Elder. Moreover, this old monster had lived for a longer time than Hu Gao. In terms of combat strength and experience, Hu Gao couldn’t compare, making it very difficult to kill the Golden Elder.

Despite being struck back by the palm, Hu Gao disregarded his life and rushed forward again with an aura that startled Wuji Taoist and others. It was a reckless fighting style, as if he wanted to perish with the Golden Elder. What kind of deep-seated hatred existed between Hu Gao and the Golden Elder? Everyone present felt a bit puzzled.

Thump!

Splatter!

This time, Hu Gao was sent flying, spitting blood from his mouth, yet he disregarded everything and attacked the Golden Elder again, losing a bit of his sanity. Ye Tianchen frowned at the sight and rushed in to block Hu Gao.

”Boss, step aside. Today, I must kill this old monster.” Hu Gao shouted at the Golden Elder, driven to the extreme of fury.

”Little bastard, if you’re not afraid of death, then come at me. I’ve been looking for you for a long time too!” the Golden Elder snarled viciously at Hu Gao.

”Hu Gao, calm down. Don’t worry; whenever there’s a chance, I’ll definitely help you kill this old monster, but not now.” Ye Tianchen whispered to Hu Gao.

”Boss, this old monster killed my father back then. My hatred with him is to the point of life or death. I’ve been searching for this old monster all these years, and now I’ve finally found him. How could I pass up this opportunity?” Hu Gao said, clenching his fist tightly.

”With our current cultivation strength, even if we join forces, it doesn’t guarantee that we can kill this old monster. Even if we could, do you think those four people over there will just sit back and do nothing? They’ll definitely seize the opportunity to strike while we’re fighting the old monster, and then we’ll all die.” Ye Tianchen said seriously to Hu Gao.

”Even if I die, I still want to kill this old monster. Boss, this is my personal vendetta; you shouldn’t get involved!” Hu Gao said to Ye Tianchen.

”What nonsense are you talking about? We’re brothers. Your matters are my matters. Your irreconcilable grudge with this old monster is equivalent to my mortal enmity with him. But if you want to perish alongside him, I won’t allow it. It’s simply not worth it; killing him doesn’t have to happen at this moment!” Ye Tianchen said resolutely.

”Boss...” Hu Gao was stunned, feeling that Ye Tianchen made some sense, but still couldn’t quell the anger in his heart.

”Rest assured, as soon as there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely kill this old monster!” Ye Tianchen said solemnly.

Whoosh!

A golden light rushed in, and Elder Jin Huang saw Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao whispering and wanted to suddenly strike as an assassin to kill Ye Tianchen and Hu Gao together. Ye Tianchen had already predicted the ruthlessness of this old monster and immediately punched forward, the Vajra Divine Fist surging with powerful fist energy, blocking Elder Jin Huang’s Golden Mace.

”Old man, don’t you actually want to enter this Martial Saint Tomb?” Ye Tianchen coldly asked Elder Jin Huang.

”Are you threatening me? Overestimating yourself!” Elder Jin Huang said coldly.

”What if I’m threatening you? Old man, you’re already a hundred years old, on this Earth, which is unsuitable for cultivation, you don’t have many years left. This ancient Martial Saint Tomb is a rare opening, your only chance, while I’m still young, I can wait, or not enter this Martial Saint Tomb. Based on both our cultivation strengths, fighting three hundred rounds might not decide a winner. Do you want to battle, or let others gain the advantage?” Ye Tianchen smiled at Elder Jin Huang.

Elder Jin Huang furrowed his brows, looked at Wuji Taoist and the others nearby, put away his Golden Mace, and said coldly, ”You’re right, all grievances will be resolved after I return from the Martial Saint Tomb.”

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and didn’t speak. He knew that an old fox like Elder Jin Huang would understand the stakes with a little hint. The Martial Saint Tomb was about to open, perhaps the only chance to enter. If they fought here now, the biggest beneficiaries would be the Wuji Taoist, the man in silver armor, the knife-wielding man, and the bald monk. They would certainly be the first to rush into the Martial Saint Tomb and might even strike brutally at Ye Tianchen and him at a critical moment, leading to an unjust death.

”Old monster, I will personally kill you to avenge my father’s murder back then.” Hu Gao roared angrily at Elder Jin Huang.

”Humph, little bastard, you kicked me in the vital spot back then, causing my Infant Heavenly Skill to dissipate. For more than twenty years, I couldn’t advance even a step further. I will definitely avenge this hatred!” Elder Jin Huang said viciously to Hu Gao.

It turns out that Elder Jin Huang practiced a demon skill called ”Infant Heavenly Skill,” a sinister Cultivation Technique that requires the essence blood of ten Yin Infants with each deeper level, stacking layer upon layer, extremely wicked and evil. It was a legendary spell capable of rejuvenating youth every ten years. Ironically, Hu Gao inadvertently kicked Elder Jin Huang in the vital spot at a critical moment while practicing, causing a frenzied leakage of Elder Jin Huang’s essence energy, nearly reducing him to ashes.

Hu Gao, who escaped, was hunted by Elder Jin Huang, and at that moment, Hu Gao’s father arrived to battle Elder Jin Huang but was killed, unable to resist. If Hu Gao’s grandfather, Hul Le, hadn’t arrived in time, Hu Gao would have been killed. Elder Jin Huang disappeared for nearly twenty years, and all these years, Hu Gao lived with his grandfather, always remembering his deep hatred, constantly searching for the whereabouts of the old monster, Elder Jin Huang, unexpectedly meeting here.

”Old monster, let’s wait and see. I won’t waste time on you being a yin-yang person now. After you come out from the Martial Saint Tomb, I’ll kill you!” Hu Gao said disdainfully.

”You...” Elder Jin Huang was nearly furious enough to spit blood, Hu Gao publicly calling him a yin-yang person in front of everyone, making him lose face in the entire Ancient Martial World.

Rumbling!

Suddenly, the entire Fire Head Hill trembled. Wuji Taoist, the man with a knife on his back, the bald monk, the man in silver armor, including Elder Jin Huang, exchanged glances and quickly retreated to occupy the most advantageous positions. Ye Tianchen rushed up, standing by the man in silver armor, also solemnly looking below. Below was a tower-like structure, the center point sealing the Fire Head Hill Martial Saint Tomb, which was now trembling, seemingly due to the loosening of the seal after many years.

”Everyone, this Great Formation seal has loosened. I think we should join forces to open it. Whether we can gain the inheritance in the tomb depends on our own means, what do you think?” The man in silver armor asked everyone.

”Good, depends on one’s own means, I agree!” The knife-wielding man said domineeringly.

”I have no objections either.” The bald monk still had a kind and gentle look saying.

”Since none of you have objections, count me in.” Wuji Taoist glanced at Ye Tianchen.

”I won’t give up on the inheritance within the Martial Saint Tomb, and I’ll contribute my strength!” Elder Jin Huang said disdainfully.

”And you?” The man in silver armor asked Ye Tianchen.

”Same!”

Wuji Taoist, the man in silver armor, the knife-wielding man, the bald monk, Elder Jin Huang, Ye Tianchen, these six strong individuals in the Mid Martial Venerate Cultivation Realm, all had exceptional talent. They understood that now, with the seal of the Martial Saint Tomb loosening, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Rushing in first would be a great fortune, as there were still some powerful old figures in the Ancient Martial World, possibly even more powerful individuals, already on their way to Fire Head Hill. If they continue to wait and don’t break open the entrance to the Martial Saint Tomb, only stronger martial artists and more unknown challenges await them. By then, not only might they be unable to enter the Martial Saint Tomb, but there’s also the possibility of being killed by stronger practitioners... (To be continued.
