Chapter 1411 - 1408: Tonghai Area

Saint Fang Yun, standing behind the Fire Nation Lord, was left speechless upon seeing the two words and hurried forward to console Saint Fang Yun.

"National Protector, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter for you," said the Fire Nation Lord.

Saint Fang Yun was trembling with rage, roaring: "Who did this? I want their life, ahhh!!"

That day, yet another Sanctuary was enraged to the point of madness.

The Shanhai Platform reported the news, alarming countless people.

"This tomb robber is so brazen, even daring to rob the ancestral tombs of two saints; aren't they afraid of retaliation?"

"Shivering in fear, they're crazy to dare rob the ancestral tomb of the Fire Nation, absolutely not something an ordinary tomb robber could achieve."

"Previously it was Cloud Sea Saint, now it's Saint Fang Yun; could there be some connection?"

"It seems there is a connection; both saints recently appeared in the Secret Realm of Purple Summit Mountain."

"Tch tch... I'm going to make a guess, could it be Chu Hao?"

"Impossible, although Chu Hao has the strength of the Heavenly Master Realm, does he know how to rob tombs?"

"Why not? Do you not know Chu Hao's background? He might just be a tomb robber in Sin Abyss."

Chu Hao saw people speculating it was him on the platform, so he quickly analyzed the situation, steering the conversation.

"It can't be Chu Hao. First, he doesn't have enough strength; there are many traps within the Ancient Tomb, and no Heavenly Master Realm can possibly overcome them."

"Second, if I were Chu Hao, I'd be too busy cultivating Ancient Technique now to have any time for tomb robbing, at least I'd need to disappear for a few years before coming back."

"Third, a professional tomb robber is undoubtedly the one responsible."

Chu Hao successfully steered the conversation, persuading many.

Poor tomb-robbing families bore the blame again.

The Fire Nation soon focused their attention on the tomb-robbing families, putting pressure on them.

Those families were also puzzled; could someone within their ranks have done it?

Tomb robbing stirred up quite the mystery.

However, even the tomb-robbing families weren't to be trifled with; the Fire Nation didn't dare act against them, only requesting their assistance in investigating. Many were astonished at how terrifying these tomb robbers could be.

Most surprisingly, the tomb-robbing family used this turmoil to introduce their young members.

A man named Wang Yi emerged, claiming he would locate the Ancient Tomb of King Taiqi.

This person spoke of King Taiqi Gu Mu, from Taiqi Country.

Taiqi Country had long since perished, and after King Taiqi's death, it was rumored his mighty weapon was buried with him in the Ancient Tomb, but the tomb's location remains a mystery to this day.

Countless people were dumbfounded.

This tomb robber was utterly outrageous, shattering everyone's understanding of tomb robbers.

Chu Hao was also surprised, especially because the name Wang Yi made a certain fat figure appear in his mind.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Soon, someone came forward and demanded Wang Yi leave, else face death; this was the Taizong Saint Heir calling out.

Taizong Holy Land used to be a great nation, known as Taizong Kingdom, but it became recognized by the Shanhai Alliance due to its strength, declaring itself a Holy Land.

Despite Taiqi Country being destroyed, Taizong Holy Land's people didn't want the ancestral tomb of Taiqi Country, who once stood shoulder-to-shoulder with them, to be robbed.

Wang Yi shouted back: "What Taizong Holy Land? Meet young master me, and you'll be wiped out in seconds."

Soon, the Beiming Holy Land's Saint Heir also spoke up, saying it's best not to let him encounter Wang Yi as he detests tomb robbers most in life.

Wang Yi retaliated with his shout.

"Who do you think you are? Come over here and let young master teach you some manners."

That member of the tomb-robbing family was quite audacious.

The Beiming Saint Heir simply replied: "Just wait!"

Soon, many young people came forward to criticize Wang Yi, asking why a tomb robber was so cocky; such people easily incur divine retribution.

Wang Yi's response was simple, challenging everyone to come forward; he'd beat them so their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

More and more people mocked Wang Yi, and shortly, others jumped in to support Wang Yi, disdaining the Saint Heirs of these so-called Holy Lands.

The Shanhai Platform became lively, transforming into a hangout for the young.

Many forces announced the emergence of their young geniuses and heirs, making every effort to cover them and boost their fame.

There's no need to think too hard to understand what these major forces intend to do.

Tradition always needs to be handed down, and the older generation must eventually be replaced; it's time for the young to showcase their talents.

A self-proclaimed Little Tyrant emerged today.

The day after tomorrow, a Bull Demon King appeared.

Two days after that, a Cannon King jumped out.

All kinds of chaos emerged.

The Shanhai Platform was rapidly conquered by the young, with the arguments extending across the provinces.

Claiming: "Cross-province challenge!!"

"Don't dare come, stop blabbering."

"You pay for travel, and I'll appear in a moment."

The older generation sighed, saying the young are indeed filled with energy, except travel expenses aren't cheap, and crossing provinces isn't easy.

Eventually, the Mysterious Sect stopped the battle of insults among the young, announcing the establishment of a battle ranking in three days.

Every province would have a battle ranking.

The top hundred on the battle ranking were recognized as the strongest.

Soon, countless young people were saying: "See you on the battle ranking."

This storm finally subsided.

Chu Hao left the Fire Nation's borders, heading to Yucheng City; although robbing tombs might infuriate his enemies, continuing could lead to discovery, and some already suspect him.

A week later, departing the Fire Nation, he finally reached Tonghai Yu City's area.

This city, located at the border of Tianqiong Province, is very close to Desert Province.

Tonghai Yu City is renowned, comparable to the capitals of the Three Sacred Territories of the Celestial Dome State.

Because many fleeing convicts and serious offenders choose Yucheng City as their first refuge.

Facing the ocean to the east and Desert Province to the west, it's an easy escape.

Therefore, the majority of residents in Yucheng City are criminals or murderers.

In this region, it's survival of the fittest.

There's another reason many people come here; towards the ocean, there are numerous mineral resources underwater, with many Yangyuan Stones as well.

And in the direction of Desert Province, there are Ancient Kingdom ruins rumored to be home to countless ancient tombs, frequented by many tomb robbers.

Thus, people are more inclined to stay near the Yucheng City area.

This has led to Yucheng City's current state, a chaotic mixture of fish and dragons, never ceasing for thousands of years.

Some say it's a heaven for criminals.

Upon reaching Yucheng City, Chu Hao didn't know where to find Qin Ming, but since they said he's in Yucheng City, he must be.

"Dog Ignored Baozi, fresh out of the oven, delicious and cheap."

"Candied Hawthorn..."

This wasn't Yucheng City; there was still a distance to the capital area of Yucheng City, but there were small towns visible.

The term "small town" actually refers to an old city, conveying the movements of people.

Chu Hao, the Toad, and Hai Mingyue walked along the street, admiring the local customs and architecture.

As for the Divine Tea Tree, it was certainly not allowed to appear, or it might be hunted, so Chu Hao kept it in his herbal garden where it seemed to enjoy the Yu Ling Tree.

"It's so lively!"

Hai Mingyue's smooth skin sparkled; she was very happy, with a candied hawthorn in her left hand and a meat pastry in her right, finding it a little overwhelming to eat.

The Toad, wearing just shorts, was full of energy, constantly fawning, saying: "Ming Yue sister, this is tastier than the pastry you're holding."

"Really?"
