Invincible Level Up Chapter 165

"Dead?"

Qin Tian was taken aback by the news and could not help (8)but curse, "Dead? Then how can Laozi finish the task? How to get the black pagoda?"

Hongyue's life or death was of no relation to him. However, after receiving Ziyue's task, it became very important. Now that Hongyue is dead, his task could no longer be completd. Hence, the rank four universe realm Ziyue would definitely not give him the black pagoda, what's more,hm being rewarded.

It can't be!

The system would definitely not make such a mistake. Even if the situation changed, only the task's grade would change, it won't cancel.

A problem must have occurred somewhere.

Seeing their pained expression, it did not seem like they were lying to him.

If this was it, then does that not mean that he came in vain?

"F**k, Laozi won't have been driven to a pit right?" Qin Tian grumbled. He asked as he stared at Luo Yue, "Was it someone with the same name? Ziyue can't have asked me to bring back a dead person ah."

"Princess Ziyue only has one sister, which is Hongyue."

"Three hundred years ago, she died."

Luo Yue's face sank as he spoke. Hongyue's death was a huge blow to the tribe. However, after hearing that Ziyue was still alive, hope was once again ignited.

The Luo Shi tribe was once the biggest tribe among the tribes of the ocean tribe. The tribe which guards.

During the tremendous change 3000 years ago, Ancestor Luo Shi did all he could to fight back but was still unable to block Luo Hou's killing. However, the two daughters of the late patriarch were saved.

Ziyue brought a part of the tribe away from the dark ocean territory. She wanted to find a place to rest and break through to the absolute realm. At that time, she would take back her land.

Meanwhile, Hongyue was unwilling to leave. In the end, she lived with her tribesmen at the dark ocean edge territory. As she never cultivated before, she died by having her lifespan depleted.

Hongyue's death pained the Luo Shi tribe, but there was nothing they could have done.

For thousands of years, all of them waited silently for the return of Ziyue.

Though, they were clear that princess Ziyue will probably never return. That year when Luo Hou chased after, Ziyue might be one of those that were killed.

Now, hearing that Ziyue did not die in Luo Hou's hands, they felt (1)excited.

However, Qin Tian was not elated at all. He recalled Ziyue's words again. From her expression, Qin Tian dared to confirm it was not as simple as Hongyue being her sister. There was definitely a greater secret hidden, but what was it?

Not able to understand, Qin Tian opened his system up. The task was not canceled.

For the task to still be ongoing, it shows that Hongyue's death would not affect the progression of the task. Then……Qin Tian was stunned and immediately asked, "Is Hongyue's body still here?"

"What do you want it for?"

Hongyue was the Ocean tribe's princess. Although she is (5)dead, how could they allow outsiders to sully her? Luo Yue raged and killing intent exploded out. The veins on his arms bulged.

"You misunderstood. Nevertheless, I would need to give an explanation to city leader Ziyue."

Qin Tian explained immediately while feeling anxious, "Wanting to bring the body away would not be simple. I'll need another method."

The surroundings became calm.

Luo Yue laughed, "My apologies. Princess Hongyue's body is still here. Hundreds of years had gone by and it hadn't rotted, she still looks like before when she was alive ."

"Indeed."

Swallowing his saliva, Qin Tian revealed an expression like he was in a difficult situation.

"Brother Qin, do you have a hidden trouble which is hard to mention?"

"Go ahead and say. Since you're someone Princess Ziyue sent, we will do our best to aid you."

The old woman looked at Qin Tian and spoke, "If there's anything troubling you, just tell the patriarch."

"There's no use saying……"

"I'm afraid that I would offend the entire tribe."

"Although city leader Ziyue tasked me to bring Hongyue back, now……"

Qin Tian mumbled with an awkward look on his face. He pondered. If Luo Yue agreed to let him bring back Hongyue's body, that would be for the best. But if he doesn't, then what?

Take by force?

Luo Yue's strength wasn't simple, Qin Tian is not his opponent. Moreover, he did not even know where her body was kept at.

However, there was something which he could confirm. That place was accessible, else Luo Yue would not say her body hadn't rotted. If Luo Yue did not check, he definitely would not say that.

Seems like he would need to find out.

Qin Tian contemplated in silence, preparing himself for the worst case scenario.

"Princess Hongyue's body cannot be taken away unless Princess Ziyue personally comes." Luo Yue said firmly.

Such a conclusion, Qin Tian had already expected.

Now, he was more sure that there was something hidden inside Hongyue.

For which Luo Shi tribe's patriarch also knew.

At that moment, Qin Tian did not forcefully request, only sighing, "How should I answer to city leader Ziyue ah."

Qin Tian's sigh made Luo Yue cautious.

About Qin Tian, he did not have a clear understanding. An outside suddenly appeared in the dark ocean territory, although full of injuries, just what was his motive?

Wants's Hongyue's body?

Is he really someone Ziyue sent? Or is he Luo Hou's.

Could it be that he already knew about Hongyue being the dark ocean tribe's saint lady, and wants the Heart of Ocean?"

As Luo Yue thought, his suspicion towards Qin Tian's appearance increased. The Heart of Ocean within Hongyue was the tribe's last hope. If it lands into Luo Hou's hands, then they would no longer be able to fight back again.

Hence, Luo Yue can't help but become cautious.

In the tribe, only the patriarch knew about it. Others did not.

"Brother Qin, when you see Princess Ziyue, tell her Hongyue is in good condition and awaits her return." Luo Yue laughed.

"Good condition and awaits her return?"

Qin Tian repeated his words again and again in his mind, even more, sure that there was a profound secret hidden within Hongyue's body. Something so important that it might even be able to change one's situation around.

"I understand." Qin Tian nodded. For such a matter, it was unsuitable to insist. Insisting would only lead to Luo Yue becoming more on guard. Currently, all he could do was let Luo Yue have more trust in him.

Although he did not deceive Luo Yue, him having this kind of reaction was normal. If he knew a person for less than a day, I would not trust him either.

" Patriarch."

From outside the tent came a voice.

Luo Yue regained his composure and looked at the old woman, "Do not spread the news of Princess Ziyue being alive. Not even Luo Feng should hear it."

"Your servant understands."

Qin Tian nodded too.

"Come in." Luo Yue coughed.

A bulky man with bulging muscles walked into the tent. Seeing Qin Tian, he laughed, "Lad, you're alive?"

Qin Tian felt his aura familiar. Then, he thought about the time before he fainted, "Thank you for saving me."

"Haha……"

The man was Luo Kuang, outspoken, open and does not bother about trifles. However, his temper was naturally explosive. He treats friends well but is ferocious to enemies.

"Luo Kuang, is the bait ready?" Luo Yue asked.

"Ready." Luo Kuang answered and continued worriedly, "I'm afraid the rupture of the core of the rank eight eel would attract more than ten thousand monsters. Can our tribe deal with it?"

"Even if you can't, you must still guard the exit." Luo Yue's expression changed. "Today, the demon knight came and wants us to pay a tribute of 15000 cores in three days. If we cannot pay up, our tribe will be finished."

"What?"

Luo Kuang raged and killing intent emerged. "Big Brother, why don't we just fight it out. 15000 cores, unless we kill every single one of the ocean monsters that would be attracted, we won't be able to gather enough."

"That's why, the exit must be guarded."

"Guard the exit? Use what to guard? Tens of thousands of monsters, both you and me would not be able to withstand too. It is not like you do not know about Luo Feng's injury. This time, killing 2000 monsters is already considered good."

"More than ten thousand ocean monsters?"

Other than those words, nothing else entered his ear. Just hearing 'more than ten thousand ocean monsters' made his blood boil. Ten thousand monsters, how much experience would it be? If he could kill all of them, won't he break through to the ascension realm immediately?

"Great."

Qin Tian was excited.

"To repay the grace of saving my life, I will guard the exit and not allow any monsters to escape."

"You?"

"You?"

Luo Yue and Luo Kuang shouted simultaneously. They stared at him in a daze for a few seconds before ignoring him. The two started to discuss.

Completely ignored.

Qin Tian turned dull, not expecting his strength to be so weak in their eyes.

They did not even look at him seriously.

However, such a beautiful opportunity, how could Qin Tian miss?

Now was the best time to break through to the ascension realm and wield the ascension force. After that, bring Hongyue's body away.

If he were to properly guard the entrance, he would be able to get some of Luo Yue's trust.

At that time, situations might be easier to be dealt with.

Not only that, Qin Tian was also thinking about his sect's task, to collect some 'mysterious flame'. If he could pick some up, exchanging it for some merits would not be bad too.

"Hey……,

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, "Can I join your hunt?"

"You are too weak, not suitable. Stay in the tribe and help granny take care of the injured. Moreover, you aren't someone of our tribe, it won't be good if you get injured." Luo Yue answered and continued to quarrel with Luo Kuang.

He was looked down upon.

Since he came to this world, this was the first time he was so obviously looked down upon.

Qin Tian was so stunned that words could not come out of his mouth. Truly he did want to hide in a corner.

No matter what, he must go.

Such a nice opportunity, won't it be a waste to miss?

Tens of thousands of monsters, a holy place for him. Where else could he find a place like this?

Qin Tian decided to follow in secret……
