God Emperor

An old man who wore a long green robe was riding a goat that was almost equivalent to an elephant in size. He came from afar and rushed to the Tomb Forests entrance.

He had a very impressive winning streak in sword fighting duels. He was a lord of influential families of saints and was now 400 years old. He was very famous throughout East Region.

However, the old man was attacked by a peculiar force at the entrance and was pushed backwards. He did not manage to get past into the Tomb Forest.

Seeing this happen, those who planned to go in immediately stopped.

“What happened?”

The power of Tomb Forest was supposed to prevent the dead souls from getting out but why was it different now? In fact, the force was stopping the mortals from getting in.

…

Zhang Ruochen and Han Xue also stopped and hid somewhere near the entrance of the Tomb Forest without anyone else knowing.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the old man on the goat and recognized him immediately. He said softly, “This person must be the clan lord of the Tao Saint Clan.”

“Tao Saint Clan was one of the saint clans in the Fallen-Gods Mountain Range and had thousands of years of history. This incident alerted them and it is not surprising for the clan lord to be here.”

Han Xue asked, “Master, what is the clan lord doing here?”

“This place was named Tomb Forest and was a relic area. It was a dangerous place in the past where no one could escape from once they entered.”

“But now,” he continued, “the dead souls that were here all went out to attack Yin and Yang Sect. Therefore, it is less dangerous compared to before. There must be some treasures hidden in this Tomb Forest and thats why they are here. The clan lord has only a few years of life left and thus, this might be the reason why he is here; to find a chance to live longer.”

The clan lord emitted a strong Holy Qi and his gray hair was blowing in it, as if thousands of knives and swords floated around him. The sword-like hairs hit each other, resonating a high pitched sound.

“I have been living for four hundred and eleven years. As a super saint, I dont believe I cant break the layer of Ghost Kings shield. The ghost kings inside the Tomb Forest never wanted the outsiders to enter. This means that there must be holy medicine that can allow people to be resurrected from the dead.”

The clan lord opened his Holy Eyes wide and used rules of saintly way to strike his palm into empty air.
