Chapter 718 - Arrival of the Gold Clan

Everyone was disappointed because the treasure was destined to be out of their grasp, but they refused to let such a treasure slip past their hands.

“I’ve heard that Feng Zhilin is betrothed to the young master of the Divine clan, Wu Guangyu. It’s likely that they will get married after they get out of the Ancient Graveyard! They are both the strongest youths of their respective clans. What a match made in heaven!”

“With their strength, status, and good looks, they are destined to be with each other. I fear that Wu Guangyu is the only man good enough for her!”

Everyone was busy discussing while Long Chen listened silently.

Feng Zhilin? Long Chen silently noted the name down. She’s his fiancee? What a coincidence. She is indeed stronger than me. Do I have a chance to obtain the Martial God Tombstone now that she wants it too?

Long Chen refused to just give it to her like that. The treasure was important because it gave him a chance to turn the tides by increasing his cultivation level.

Long Chen also knew about Storage Rings, which could store much more than a Universe Pouch. The Storage Ring was also much sturdier than a Universe Pouch. A regular attack would barely dent it. The other benefit of the Storage Ring was that it could recognize its master by dripping a person’s blood on it. It was actually considered an artifact.

But there weren’t a lot of Storage Rings to begin with. Long Chen never saw anyone with one before. He was certain that his Primordial Realm was much larger than a Storage Ring’s capacity since the Primordial Realm became larger as he became stronger. He wanted to try fitting the tombstone into the Primordial Realm, but if it was too heavy, he would need a bit of time to fit it in. More importantly, the Martial God Tombstone was impaled into the ground. Long Chen wasn’t sure if he had the strength to pull it out, so he dared not act rashly.

Especially since Feng Zhilin was here.

Long Chen looked at her just like the others were. The legendary girl was filled with arrogance, looking only at the Martial God Tombstone and nothing else.

She approached the tombstone and was just ten meters away when she stopped and admired it. Her pink lips parted slightly. “Is this the Martial God Tombstone? What an interesting object ...”

“Young miss, let’s get it into the Storage Ring to prevent any mishaps. The Ancient Graveyard is not a forgiving place ...” the lady in the purple dress commented.

“No need to rush. Let me see what’s so special about this thing ...” She approached the tombstone and traced it gently with her long, white fingers. She traced the words inscribed on the tombstone and frowned.

“What a miraculous object ...”

Long Chen continued holding his breath, waiting for the moment the Martial God Tombstone was loosened. It was the signal for him to move. Feng Zhilin didn’t know he was lying in wait, so there was a chance he would succeed.

The atmosphere was tense when something suddenly happened.

Two golden lights shot down from the skies. They were each as thick as the waist of a regular human. The lights were aimed at the woman in purple!

Golden Eye of Annihilation?! Long Chen was very familiar with that technique. It was the same martial technique that Zhao Danchen had used against him numerous times. He never thought he would see it again here in the Ancient Graveyard. Based on the thickness of the light, Long Chen was certain that the user was leagues above Zhao Danchen.

“Aunt Snow!” Feng Zhilin was too late to notice the threat. Aunt Snow had to protect her life, so she let go and dodged. The two golden lights hit the Martial God Tombstone, causing it to shake a little. It was so sturdy that the Golden Eye of Annihilation left no mark on it.

“The Golden Eye of Annihilation? The people from the Gold clan are here.” Feng Zhilin and Aunt Snow looked above. Aunt Snow was worried, while Feng Zhilin smirked arrogantly.

Another pair of golden lights shot down. This time, two elders appeared in front of them. The elders had golden hair and eyes. There was a mark of a golden circle on each of their foreheads. More importantly, the two of them looked the same!

Is Zhao Danchen from the Gold clan? He had golden eyes as well as the Molten Gold Combat Body and the Golden Eye of Annihilation. These two must be from the Gold clan too.

“I was wondering who would make such a grand entrance. To think that it’s the famous twins from the Gold clan, Jin Xiong and Jin Ba. Why are old men like you working so hard outside?” Aunt Snow was wary of the two, but she soon veiled her wariness with haughtiness.

The twins from the Gold clan were eyeing the tombstone and only looked at Aunt Snow after she talked to them. “Oh, so it's Madam Snow and ... The famous Feng Zhilin, I suppose? The Wind clan’s information is really tightly guarded. If we hadn’t passed by, we wouldn’t have known that there was a treasure here.

“What do you want?” Feng Zhilin interrupted them,

“What else? Treasures belong to the virtuous ones. We passed by and coincidentally saw the Martial God Tombstone. That means we are fated to have it, so it belongs to us. Stop what you’re doing and head back to Giant Metal City!”

The two of them looked down on the two women from the Wind clan. Women were regarded as weaker in battles due to their natural body strength, so they were frowned upon everywhere.

“Stop bullshitting so much if you want to take it from us. The Gold clan lost to us in an attempt to take over Giant Metal City and now you are here to look down on us? I didn’t know the Gold Clan was this shameless.” Feng Zhilin chuckled.
