I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 498 The First Martial Emperor's Tomb

When Chu Qing saw the shepherd boy, she was momentarily taken aback.

Why is she here?
In a moment of surprise, the shepherd boy was about to fall.

Chu Qing swayed, moving towards her direction, but it was too late. Fortunately, he still had the evil prince in his grasp. He flicked his hand and gave a soft shout:
"catch!!"

The shepherd girl had already seen Chu Qing, and in fact, she had already reached out her hand without Chu Qing saying anything.

He grabbed the evil prince by the hair.

The poor, wicked prince was already severely injured, and when the shepherd boy grabbed him, he let out a shrill scream.

However, the shepherd boy's fall was unusual; falling from such a height was far beyond what the evil prince's hair could withstand.

His body slowed down for only a moment before a tearing sound was heard, and the evil prince's entire scalp was ripped off.

The person continued to fall downwards with screams of "Ahhh!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Qing reached out and the shepherd boy felt his body freeze for a moment, and then involuntarily flew towards Chu Qing's hand. Finally, Chu Qing grabbed his shoulder and stabilized his body.

She was still in shock, feeling as if she had crossed countless gates of hell along the way.

After recognizing the person beside her, she instinctively threw herself into Chu Qing's arms:
"I thought I was going to die!!!"

Chu Qing frowned slightly. It was one thing for a beautiful woman to throw herself into his arms, but the problem was that this girl was also holding a bunch of hair and the evil prince's entire scalp.

Covered in blood, he then went back and got himself covered in it again...

Despite fighting the Ghost Emperor's Tomb Prince for so long, he remained completely unscathed. Even though they had pierced through so many stone walls and crossed countless tombs sealed for many years, he was still completely unharmed.

Now I'm covered in blood...

"Why don't you throw away that piece of junk you're holding before you try to take advantage of me?"

Chu Qing's tone was full of disdain.

The shepherd boy was taken aback:
What's in my hand?

She was in such a hurry that she didn't even notice what she had just received.

Now, upon closer inspection, he gasped in shock and threw it away with a flick of his wrist.

"gross."

"Asshole!!!"

The evil prince was truly enraged:

"You pulled my hair and tore my scalp, and you still complain?"

"You bastard, you better pray you don't fall into my hands, otherwise I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"Who is he? Why is he so arrogant?"

Upon hearing this, the shepherd boy frowned, looked at the wicked prince, thought for a moment, and said:
"So that hair you saw earlier was his?"

"This is the Evil Prince, one of the Twelve Holy Kings of the Heavenly Evil Cult. His martial arts are extremely formidable... If you fall into his hands, you will indeed suffer greatly."

"The good news is that you are unlikely to fall into his hands, but rather he will fall into my hands."

As Chu Qing spoke, he looked down.

Although he was talking to the shepherd boy and the evil prince, he was always on guard against the Ghost Emperor showing up.

This person truly deserves to be one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; his strength is extraordinary, and his cultivation is extremely profound.

My sword strike just now could knock them down, but I'm afraid I'm not strong enough to kill them.

Why haven't they come up yet after so long?
"That's fine, that's fine."

The shepherd boy kept rambling on and on:

"You have no idea, I was looking for the tomb of the First Martial Emperor up there when I lost my footing and fell into the tomb robber's hole."

"The tunnel led to an ancient tomb below, but when I stepped onto solid ground, there was an empty pressure plate underneath. I stepped on it and broke it, falling back into the abyss."

"I thought I was truly doomed, but I never expected to see you here..."

"Damn it, I'm so scared I'm about to shrink back!"

"What?"

Chu Qing looked at the shepherd boy in astonishment. Was this something a young lady from a wealthy family should say?

"It's alright, it's alright. Even if you asked me, I wouldn't dare say it a second time. Anyway, I'm still shaken..."

"But how did you end up here?"

"They were attacked by the Ghost Emperor."

"You really fought the Ghost Emperor? Has that old man gone mad? Why did he fight you?"

"where is he?"

The shepherd boy searched in all directions.

Chu Qing gestured with his eyes:
"He's right down there, but I can't find him."

"Ok?"

The shepherd boy followed Chu Qing's gaze, then frowned slightly:
"It looks like the roof of a building... There's probably something strange up there, should we go down and take a look?"

"We can't just leave you there, but before that, we'll send you up..."

"No."

The shepherd boy shook his head resolutely:
"The situation down here seems rather strange. I need to go with you to take a look. What if it is the tomb of the First Martial Emperor?"
"If you send me up there and I miss such a great opportunity, I'll fight you to the death."

Chu Qing's lips twitched:
"You? What makes you think you can compete with me?"

"Looking down on me?"

The shepherd boy sneered:
"I'll give you some drugs, make it a fait accompli, and then I'll give birth to ten or eight big, fat boys for you."

"???"

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"and then?"

"Then I took them all away, leaving none for you. I fed them leftovers every day, and whipped them whenever I had free time."

"Let's see if you feel sorry for them if they're abused for ten or eight years."

The shepherd boy spoke in a sinister tone.

Chu Qing sighed:

"It seems that after this trip, it will be necessary to make a trip to the Valley of Abandoned Gods."

"What are you going to Abandoned God Valley for?"

The shepherd boy immediately became alert.

"Naturally, we should go and find His Majesty the Xuan Emperor to ask him how he usually teaches his daughter."

"To think that he would raise his daughter to be so...so unconventional."

"mean!"

"In this respect, the shepherd girl seems to be no less capable."

After Chu Qing retorted with that remark, he led the two people down toward the rooftop.

As soon as they got close, Chu Qing and the other two's expressions changed.

Where is my internal energy?

The shepherd boy cried out in alarm, and Chu Qing also felt his inner energy being suppressed by something unknown, to the point that he could hardly maintain his posture and began to fall rapidly downwards.

The evil prince, however, felt that his wounds, which were healing rapidly, had suddenly stopped healing.

The three individuals were in different situations, but overall, their internal energy had dissipated.

Just now they were less than two zhang away from the roof, but now they fell and landed on the roof in the blink of an eye.

But the moment they landed on it, the roof collapsed, and the three of them tumbled down into another space.

In the rush, Chu Qing didn't have time to look around. She was trying to regulate her internal energy when she suddenly felt that her internal energy had been fully restored.

He subconsciously looked up at the roof; this strange thing probably happened above his head.

But just looking at it gave me a shock.

The sky above was dotted with stars... This was not a natural formation, but rather a man-made creation.

Two thumping sounds reached Chu Qing's ears, and he hurriedly looked down to look.

He had just regained his footing in mid-air when both the shepherd boy and the evil prince were released.

There was a river below, and both of them fell into it.

The shepherd boy struggled to get out and shouted:

"Help! Help!!" Chu Qing didn't have time to look around. In a flash, he was already beside the shepherd boy and pulled him out of the river.

With another sway, he landed on the riverbank and threw her to the ground.

The shepherd boy hurriedly looked around:

"Where is that evil prince? That old bastard fell down with me, where did he go?"

"The river is flowing, so he must have run away in the direction of the river's flow."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Hurry up and use your internal energy to dry the clothes."

"That wicked prince is quick to seize the opportunity... he even escaped underwater, isn't he afraid of drowning?"

The shepherd boy frowned:

“That man is quite skilled. You shouldn’t have saved me just now... You should have killed him first.”

"Killing him won't be easy."

Chu Qing shook his head:

"Have you forgotten the 'Good People's Sutra' and the 'Record of Evil People' that Prince Shan mentioned?"
"If you want to kill him, you have to kill Prince Shan at the same time. Only when they both die together will they be truly dead. Otherwise, who knows what might happen..."

As he said this, he glanced at the shepherd boy again.

She was soaked through, her clothes clinging to her body, revealing her figure in an instant.

This girl was already stunningly beautiful, and her figure was even more impressive, which made Chu Qing marvel at her.

The shepherd boy seemed to notice his gaze and smiled:
"What? You want me to repay kindness with enmity? I might as well."

"I'm just curious, why aren't you using your internal energy to dry the clothes?"

"...I don't have that much skill."

The shepherd boy snorted.

"So what if you don't have it? What are you so proud of?"

Chu Qing took a tinderbox from his bosom and tossed it to her:

"Look around and see if there's anything you can burn. Start a fire and dry the clothes."

"Let me see if we can get out from up there."

This place is located on a very high elevation; the roof is at least ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) above the ground.

This height is simply insurmountable for ordinary people.

But for Chu Qing, it was by no means a difficult task.

Chu Qing lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure soared upwards. However, after crossing eight zhang, the internal energy in his body began to decline rapidly.

Although not completely lost, one can only utilize one-tenth of their full martial arts skills.

It was even more difficult for him to maintain his posture in mid-air, and he could only fall down... But when he was about eight zhang above the ground, his internal energy naturally recovered.

He didn't try again and landed back on the ground.

"No wonder the Ghost Emperor and the Tomb King didn't go back up after they came down."

"There's something strange about this roof."

Chu Qing muttered to himself.

The shepherd girl gathered some broken pieces of wood around her, wood that had weathered countless years of wind and rain, and lit them. A faint fragrance of wood immediately filled the air.

She glanced at Chu Qing, then began to take off her clothes.

Chu Qing was taken aback and immediately turned around.

By the light of the fire, one can observe the surroundings and discover that this is a rather large architectural space, with a river flowing through the middle and normal stone chambers on both sides.

Inside the stone chamber were many pieces of rotten wood and some remnants whose original shape was no longer discernible.

Then the shepherd boy said:
"My internal energy has been suppressed, and I only have about 30% left."

"You only have 30% of your strength left?"

Chu Qing was taken aback:
"How can it be suppressed so strongly?"

"Chu Qing, have you ever heard of the 'Zhenyuan Stone'?"

The shepherd boy suddenly asked.

Chu Qing shook his head:

"I've never heard of it before, what is it?"

"One of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth".

The shepherd boy said:
"Internal strength is the essence of a martial artist's life. The simplest and most direct way to destroy it is to sever the meridians that circulate it and break open the sea of ​​qi that gathers within it."

"But in doing so, one's martial arts skills would be rendered useless."

"Besides that, there are very few things in the world that can suppress a person's internal energy."

"Moreover, they are all poisons... Only by swallowing them can one suppress or dissipate one's internal energy."

"There is only one exception, which is the Zhenyuan Stone, one of the nine treasures of heaven and earth."

"However, this item has been extinct in the martial arts world for a thousand years."

As the shepherd boy finished speaking, he instinctively tried to stand up, but when he looked down, he quickly squatted down again.

He coughed once, and seeing that Chu Qing didn't turn around, he continued:

"In the past, the Great Qian Dynasty searched for the nine treasures of heaven and earth, and obtained seven of them..."

"There are only two things that I have not been able to get my hands on, one of which is this Zhenyuan Stone."

"Legend has it that the Zhenyuan Stone fell into the hands of the First Martial Emperor and became his burial object."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly:
"So, you mean this is the tomb of the First Martial Emperor?"

"I think... that's it."

The shepherd boy said in a suppressed voice:

"Chu Qing, we're going to be rich!!!"

"..."

Chu Qing was speechless for a moment:
"Compared to making money, how to get out of here is probably the biggest problem, isn't it?"

"That's not a problem."

The shepherd boy said:
"With me here, there is no place in this world we can't get out of."

"So you almost got trapped and died in an ordinary ancient tomb?"

Chu Qing recalled how scared this guy looked after surviving the ordeal, and couldn't help but poke at her lungs.

"Just tell me whether I came out or not!!!"

The shepherd boy's tone turned somewhat ferocious.

"Alright, alright, you're out. Miss Mu is invincible, where can you possibly be confined?"

Chu Qing rolled her eyes:
"So, are the clothes dry yet? My neck is a bit stiff, I want to stretch it out."

"Stop turning!"

The shepherd boy quickly said:
"It can't be that fast... If you see everything later, I'll really be repaying kindness with enmity!"

Chu Qing smiled:
"People of the martial world are not bound by formalities, but I didn't expect Miss Mu to be so wary of others. It seems she doesn't consider me one of her own."

"Seeing how loving you and Miss Wu always are, I thought you were a true gentleman. How come you've shown your true colors now?"

"Hmm? Are you provoking me, Chu?"

"No no!"

The shepherd boy quickly said:
"It's my fault, I admit defeat, please forgive me."

"That's pretty much it..."

Chu Qing stopped arguing with her. After what she said earlier, Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Since this place is the tomb of the First Martial Emperor, and there is a Zhenyuan Stone above his head, it will be difficult for him to get out for the time being. The Ghost Emperor and the Tomb King will probably not be able to get out either.

He thought for a moment, then took something out of his pocket and held it up:
"Miss Mu, you are very knowledgeable, do you recognize this item?"

The shepherd boy glanced up casually, then his expression changed instantly:
"Where did you get it?"
