At the moment of life and death, Yi Yun did not have the time to think about who the voice belonged to, nor did he consider if it was a trap. Without any hesitation, he flew straight towards the source of the voice.
This change in direction allowed the humanoid creatures behind him to get closer to Yi Yun.
"Roar!"
The humanoid creature in the lead let out an explosive roar as it slashed at Yi Yun. The saber was still a great distance away from Yi Yun, but the saber wind it stirred still slashed at Yi Yun's protective Yuan Qi, shattering it. The clothes on his back were torn apart as blood splattered everywhere!
However, at this moment, Yi Yun saw an elder appear in front of him. The elder had a head of white hair and his clothes were tattered. As he approached Yi Yun, he held a pile of jade pieces threaded with golden threads in his hand. When he came in front of Yi Yun, the elder wrapped the jade pieces around Yi Yun's body without a word.
It was a set of jade clothes!
After the jade clothes landed on Yi Yun's body, Yi Yun felt his aura suddenly be concealed. Following that, the elder pulled Yi Yun's arm and dodged to the side.
Following that, a scene that alarmed Yi Yun happened. The three to four meter tall humanoid creatures behind him seemed to be blind as they charged past Yi Yun, as if they were chasing after air.
In just a moment, these humanoid creatures disappeared from Yi Yun's vision.
I'm saved!
Yi Yun exhaled heavily as he felt like he had just recovered from the shock.
He looked at the strange clothes he was wearing. They were made of thin jade pieces that were threaded with golden threads. It was the Gold Jade Burial Suit.
It was just that this kind of gold and jade clothing was usually used as funerary objects by high officials and nobles among mortals. How could a real living person wear such cumbersome clothing?
Yi Yun looked at the elder again. He was thin and his skin was gray. His Yuan Qi was extremely weak. His eyes were somewhat turbid, as if he was on the brink of death.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life." Yi Yun bowed. He could sense that the elder's cultivation level was not considered profound, but he was able to survive in the dangerous underground world and even save Yi Yun. This surprised Yi Yun greatly.
"There's no need to thank me. It is fate that brought us together here," the elder waved his hand before turning around to leave. "Follow me, this place is too dangerous …"
In the darkness, the old man walked in front. His skinny body was also draped in a gold-jade robe. His body was trembling, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
He led Yi Yun through a stone forest and into a cave.
The entrance to the cave was narrow, but it was very spacious inside. The cave was covered with hay and fur, and there was an everlasting lamp.
"Take a seat."
The old man casually pointed at a stone bench.
Yi Yun respectfully sat down and cupped his fists. He asked, "Senior, I wonder if you can tell me what's up with the golden-jade garment I'm wearing? Also, what is that humanoid creature? Why is it so scary? "
A set of clothes had completely concealed his aura, preventing those humanoid creatures from detecting him. This was simply too bizarre.
The elder waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that first. You have something on you. Can you tell me how you obtained it?"
The moment the elder said that, Yi Yun came to a realization. In fact, Yi Yun had already guessed it beforehand. With a flip of his hand, a dark golden metal disk appeared in his palm.
It was the Heaven Secrets Disk!
The elder looked at the Heaven Secrets Disk and felt mixed emotions. He touched his interspatial ring and took out another Heaven Secrets Disk. It was extremely similar to Yi Yun's Heaven Secrets Disk, but it was bigger.
This was the mother Heaven Secrets Disk.
The mother and child Heaven Secrets Disks had an inexplicable connection, and now, they had finally merged.
The elder was likely Ji Shuiyan's grandfather. He was not dead!
"How did you obtain it?" The elder looked into Yi Yun's eyes.
"It was given to me by Miss Shuiyan …" Yi Yun immediately recounted his encounter with Ji Shuiyan to the elder.
Upon hearing that Ji Shuiyan had been coerced by the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, the elder sighed heavily. In fact, he had already expected such a possibility, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Trapped in the underground world, the elder was mentally and physically exhausted, but he was helpless.
"According to what you said, you are Yan 'er's benefactor, but … how can I believe that what you said is true? That the Heaven Secrets Disk in Yan' er's hands was not snatched away and used by you, or that you are from the Seven Star Dao Palace?"
The elder's voice was calm as he looked into Yi Yun's eyes. He knew his present physical condition and that he was no match for Yi Yun. Previously, when Yi Yun dodged the humanoid creatures' attacks, his actions were not something an ordinary Dao Manifestation realm warrior could do.
However, the elder remained fearless. He looked at Yi Yun with turbid eyes that were as calm as an ancient well.
Yi Yun fell silent for a moment before saying, "Senior, please wait a moment. You can ask him yourself."
With a thought, a tiny pagoda flew out of Yi Yun's body and slowly spun in mid-air. Following a flash of light, two girls were teleported out. They were none other than Xin 'er and Yue Xiao.
Both of them were Ji Shuiyan's personal maidservants.
When the two girls came out, they were still clueless about the situation. They saw a grayish-faced, skinny elder sitting in front of them.
Although the elder's looks had changed drastically, they were still able to recognize him at a glance.
"Master!?"
The two girls were pleasantly surprised. Ever since their master disappeared, the Divine Secrets Trading Company had been in a state of decline. It was constantly in danger. If not for Yi Yun's appearance, the Divine Secrets Trading Company would have long been finished.
They had been saved by Yi Yun yesterday, and today, they saw the old chairman of the Divine Secrets Trading Company alive and well. It made them cry tears of joy. Was this a dream?
"Senior, if you have any doubts, you can ask them."
"Young Master Yi, not only did you save Miss and us, you even saved Master?" Xin 'er said excitedly.
Yi Yun felt a little ashamed. He had been saved by the old man.
"That's enough. There's no need to ask. You are the benefactor of my Divine Secrets Trading Company." As the elder spoke, he got up and bowed at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun hurriedly helped him up. The elder was too weak, so when Yi Yun reached out to help him, he found that he was only bones.
"Senior, there's no need for that. You have also saved my life." Upon saying that, Yi Yun recalled the question from before. "Senior, you have yet to tell me what the humanoid creature was. What's the deal with the jade burial suit?"
"Golden-jade garments …" The old man sighed. "You've probably guessed it. These are supposed to be burial goods. In fact, these garments have other uses for the Heaven's Mysteries Gate. Our Heaven's Mysteries Gate says that we look at feng shui, but that's just a nice way to put it. In fact, our ancestors were grave robbers. Many of the graves of almighty experts have all sorts of strange things. The purpose of these golden-jade garments is to conceal our auras and allow us to walk through graves."
The elder's words left Yi Yun somewhat stunned. So the Heaven Secrets Chapter was originally a tomb raiding sect. Indeed, there was a connection between Feng Shui and tomb raiding.
