Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 668: Chapter 202: None Are Innocent, Invading the Divine Tomb

The White Deer Clan, bustling and lively...

Beyond, the Wolf Riders stand vigil, patrolling all around.

Li Yuan sat in front of the bed, looking at the frail woman on it, then glanced at the flickering firelight reflected on the brown leather tent.

Warmth came in from outside, making the tent feel like spring.

He said gently, "It’s bright here.

Sister Xue, rest for a couple of nights first, and once you’re feeling better, I’ll take you there."

Xue Ning softly replied, "Okay."

Just as they were speaking, the Barbarian King’s booming voice came from outside the tent, "Distinguished guest, is it convenient?"

Li Yuan said, "Barbarian King, please come in."

The cloth curtains lifted, and a man over six feet tall, with bulging muscles and eyes like stars, exuding an intense evil qi, stepped in, then stood somewhat awkwardly before Li Yuan.

He glanced at the elderly woman on the bed, then averted his gaze.

Li Yuan gestured to the tea table beside him, saying, "Have a seat."

The Barbarian King obediently sat down.

Li Yuan sat directly opposite him, his lips moving as if trying to speak, but found it hard to begin... the usual small talk seemed inappropriate for such an occasion.

The Barbarian King felt the same.

They sat silently, not speaking.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan broke the silence and said, "How is the practice of the ’Nine Yang Scripture’ going?"

The Barbarian King replied, "The Nine Yang Qi Tai has been mastered. This power seems tailored for me. My father, the most beloved of the Divine Mother’s eldest son, indeed brought all the power suited for Nine Flames."

Li Yuan glanced at the "3952~21600" beside the Barbarian King, smiling, "The Divine Mother’s most beloved child, actually isn’t her eldest son, but you."

"Really?"

The Barbarian King showed an expression of excitement.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then, realizing the Barbarian King wasn’t joking, he fell into silence.

This son seemed to be the typical "muscles developed, brain simple" type...

No!

Perhaps he was too immersed in the role.

He was deeply immersed in the sun civilization, holding the Taiyang Goddess in great reverence, and was convinced that he was indeed the eldest son of the Taiyang Goddess.

But then, the Barbarian King shook his head and solemnly said, "It’s not me, it’s Father... Mother said, every word in the ’Ancient Yang Scripture’ is the truth."

Li Yuan didn’t argue further and stood up, smiling, "Want to spar a bit?"

"Sure."

The Barbarian King was delighted.

He whispered, "It’s been a long time since I’ve sparred with Father."

The last time they sparred, he was just a slightly stronger kid...

At this moment, the tent flap suddenly opened, and a quiet woman with a long ponytail walked in.

The newcomer was Xiaozhao.

She no longer needed a cane, as every strand of her hair hid a Wu Ya, all of which were eyes, and she had completely adapted to normal walking.

Xiaozhao softly called, "Dad."

The Barbarian King turned his head at the sound, recognizing the woman.

However... the king’s dignity made it hard for him to acknowledge any family other than his father, at least not verbally.

Li Yuan said with a smile, "Xiaozhao’s here, just in time to watch me spar with the Barbarian King."

Xiaozhao nodded, blinking as she looked at the Barbarian King with curiosity.

The Barbarian King merely glanced at her, saying nothing.

A while later...

Outside the tent, in the icy depths away from the White Deer Clan’s ’fire’,

Li Yuan held a wooden staff, while the Barbarian King slowly drew out the shining Barbarian King’s Axe, facing Li Yuan.

This was the Barbarian King’s respect for his father.

Though, he didn’t think his elderly father could be his match.

Even if the Divine Mother’s favored eldest son, he was ultimately old...

Then, Li Yuan waved and said, "Huang’Er, come on."

The Barbarian King charged.

The two began to spar.

Li Yuan didn’t dominate the Barbarian King as he did with Li Ping’an, but engaged in a balanced battle, all while watching for flaws and weaknesses in the Barbarian King’s strength, then carefully guiding him to notice and correct mistakes, allowing for growth.

A very long time passed...

And more passed...

Li Yuan intentionally gasped and said, "Can’t do it... can’t do it anymore..."

The Barbarian King happily ran over, saying, "Father, sparring with you made me feel I’ve improved a lot. If it weren’t for your slower moves, I felt I might have lost!"

Li Yuan was breathing heavily but with a smile said, "I compiled the ’Nine Yang Scripture’, so perhaps the way I used my power inspired you?"

"That’s how it is."

The Barbarian King was very happy and fully believed his father’s words. He approached his father, gently patting his shoulder, helping him catch his breath.

The distance between father and son was slightly closed.

Li Yuan said, "Huang’Er, I hope you called the Wolf Mother, has she come?"

The Barbarian King replied, "She will definitely come, and based on the outside time, she should arrive in about half an hour, let her wait when she arrives."

Li Yuan said, "Let’s head back then."

The Barbarian King paused in silence, feeling a bit reluctant.

He knew that once they returned, he would no longer be a son but a leader.

Li Yuan said, "Walk back slowly."

The Barbarian King joyfully replied, "Okay!"

Immediately, he walked alongside his father, with Xiaozhao on the other side.

As they walked, they chatted about casual everyday topics, like "what do you usually eat, what do you like" and such.

Upon returning to the camp, the Wolf Mother had already arrived.

The woman, whose eyes flickered with a mysterious and enchanting light, entered the tent, then greeted Li Yuan and the Barbarian King slightly and asked, "Son of the Taiyang Goddess, great Barbarian King, what do you wish of this servant of the Divine Spirit?"

Li Yuan returned the greeting, then straightforwardly said, "A family member of mine is gravely ill, and we hope she can have a place for her coffin in the Divine Tomb."

The Divine Tomb has a total of 6,974 coffins, of which 6,174 are currently occupied, leaving a full 800 vacant.
