Chapter 101 Surging Undercurrents

After leaving the Prince of Chen Nan's Mansion, Jun Wushuang went straight back to the Azure Cloud Martial Dao Academy. He sought out Mo Xingyun and inquired about the matter.
"You want to go on a tomb adventure?"
Mo Xingyun frowned slightly.
It was not that he did not want Jun Wushuang to go, but this journey was far too dangerous. The Nether Poison Emperor was a terrifying poison cultivator. His tomb would inevitably be extremely perilous, filled with countless traps and relentless poisons. Even the Prince of Chen Nan had been poisoned twice and was on the verge of death. Jun Wushuang was only at the God Sea Realm, and going there would be a matter of nine deaths and one survival. Moreover, Jun Wushuang was different from others. Among the Four Great Families, he had already offended the Nangong Family and the Eastern Family. If Jun Wushuang participated in this tomb adventure, these two families would never let go of this opportunity to seek revenge. And as a Heavenly King Realm powerhouse, Mo Xingyun could not participate and thus could not protect Jun Wushuang. Apart from that, the Black Demon Cult was a notorious immortal faction; their disciples were extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, they were proficient in poisons and hidden weapons, making them impossible to guard against.
"I just learned about this matter not long ago, but I originally had no intention of letting you go. With your talent, you can surpass most geniuses without needing this tomb's opportunity, and even climb onto the Heaven's Pride List!" Mo Xingyun said earnestly. He held high expectations for Jun Wushuang and did not wish for him to take risks.
"Academy Master, if it were anything else, I would not go either. But this tomb is located underground in Jiangning City, where my family resides and where my father is. I have reasons that compel me to go!" Jun Wushuang shook his head. Without personally returning, he could not feel at ease. After all, his father was his only blood relative!
"Very well, since you say so, then I shall have no choice but to agree." Since it involved Jun Wushuang's father, Mo Xingyun could not persuade him further.
"I will try to secure a spot for you, but you must be cautious. Outside the tomb, the Nangong Family and Eastern Family will not make a move against you, but once inside the tomb, I am afraid they will target you first!" Mo Xingyun reminded him. Jun Wushuang had killed Eastern Li and Nangong Tianxuan, placing him in a life-and-death feud with the Nangong Family and Eastern Family. This time entering the tomb meant that even if they killed Jun Wushuang inside, no one would know about it.
"Academy Master, rest assured, I have my own considerations!" Jun Wushuang smiled. Although the Nangong Family and Eastern Family may be powerful, in my eyes they are nothing but chickens and dogs.
"Academy Master, these past few days I will not leave the academy. I plan to close off for cultivation, first breaking through to the ninth layer of the God Sea Realm, then using the Spirit Pool Baptism quota to break through to the Heaven and Human Realm." Jun Wushuang spoke again.
"Good, the matters of the tomb quota and the Spirit Pool Baptism quota leave it to me. I will go handle them for you, so you can rest assured and cultivate in seclusion!" Mo Xingyun agreed without hesitation, as it was not a difficult matter for him. Jun Wushuang nodded. He did not inform Lin Mengyao and Liu Yiyi about this, to avoid worrying them. Returning to the Wushuang Hall, Jun Wushuang immediately began his seclusion cultivation.
"This time, by devouring a considerable amount of Yin Poison Dead Qi, and with that ghost spirit, it is sufficient for me to break through again and impact the ninth layer of the God Sea Realm!" Although Jun Wushuang did not have abundant cultivation resources in his hands, this time treating Jiang Hongru's illness yielded him a substantial harvest. Yin Poison Dead Qi was an indestructible poison for others. However, Jun Wushuang possessed the Devouring Heavenly Demon Art, which allowed him to devour and refine all things. At this moment, within Jun Wushuang's body, there was a yin poison dead qi the size of a fist. Simply in terms of energy, it was comparable to millions of spiritual stones. Moreover, this time Jun Wushuang had also swallowed that ghost spirit. This was left behind by a Heavenly King Realm powerhouse. Although a significant amount of spiritual energy was consumed, what remained was enough to allow Jun Wushuang to break through two realms consecutively.
"The Nether Poison Emperor's tomb?" "More poisons, before me, are merely things to be devoured and refined!" Jun Wushuang was not blindly arrogant. Since he dared to venture into the tomb adventure, he naturally had his own means to rely on. The Devouring Heavenly Demon Art was his greatest reliance. Others feared the indestructible poisons left by the Nether Poison Emperor, but Jun Wushuang could ignore them. This was his greatest advantage!
...
Just as Jun Wushuang was engaged in his seclusion cultivation, the news of the tomb adventure began to spread in the upper circles of the Imperial Capital. The Nether Poison Emperor! This was a powerhouse at the Martial Emperor Realm. Within his tomb were his life's collections, of priceless value. Not to mention the Ten Thousand Poison Magic Pearl, a half-sacred artifact, which was an irresistible temptation for anyone. In an instant, all the great families rubbed their hands in anticipation, eager to try.
Nangong Family. At this time, Nangong Qing had summoned all his children to him. Nangong Xiong, who had one arm severed, was also present. Although he had been imprisoned by the Prince of Chen Nan, under Nangong Qing's orchestration, he had been released.
"The news of the tomb adventure, you have all already heard." "This time, there are a total of fifty quotas, and only five have been allocated to our Nangong Family." "My intention is to dispatch all five as Peak Master Realm powerhouses." "Xiong'er, this time let you lead the team." Nangong Qing placed his hopes on Nangong Xiong. Although Nangong Xiong had lost an arm, his strength remained intact, and as the eldest son, he would inherit the position of family head in the future. Leading the team would be both justified and proper. The Nangong Family had numerous members, including direct descendants and branches, totaling several thousand. Selecting five Peak Master Realm powerhouses was feasible.
"Father, rest assured, your son will definitely exert his utmost effort!" Nangong Xiong responded respectfully.
"I have received word that Jun Wushuang will also attend this tomb adventure. This time, I hope you can kill him in the tomb to avenge Tianxuan!" Nangong Qing spoke sternly. Originally, he had pinned his hopes on a life-or-death duel, but never imagined failing and also losing Nangong Tianxuan's life. A blood sea hatred must be avenged!
"Father, I will definitely personally dismember him into ten thousand pieces!" The hatred in Nangong Xiong's eyes was thick.
Eastern Family. At this time, Eastern Wuji was also gathering the clan members to discuss the tomb adventure.
"Eastern Ming, since you are to lead the Imperial Martial Dao Academy, then our Eastern Family will be led by Eastern Tianlang!" Eastern Wuji looked at the two men before him and made his decision. Eastern Tianlang was a middle-aged man wearing a red robe, with a gloomy and stern face like a vicious wolf that chooses whom to devour. Moreover, he was not only the eldest son of Eastern Wuji but also the father of Eastern Li.
"Father, I heard that that little beast Jun Wushuang is also participating in this tomb adventure. I want to personally kill him to console Li'er's spirit in the heavens!" Eastern Tianlang's eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he gritted his teeth and said. Eastern Li was not only the heir of the Eastern Family but also the son in whom he placed his greatest pride and in whom he invested all his hopes. But now, Eastern Li had died at Jun Wushuang's hands, making it impossible for him not to hate.
"Big brother, rest assured, our Imperial Martial Dao Academy is also at odds with him. Combined with the Nangong Family, the three parties can secretly ally to encircle and kill Jun Wushuang." "I don't believe that this time he will be able to escape alive!" Eastern Ming spoke with hatred from the side.
"Very well, then as Eastern Ming said, this time we must kill Jun Wushuang!" Eastern Wuji nodded and pronounced Jun Wushuang's death sentence!
