News of the Nine Secret Techniques spread quickly. Groups upon groups converged on Licheng, turning the city inside out.
Ye Fan and Black Emperor had also arrived. After meeting up with Duan De, they began searching for the Nine Secret Techniques under the Wicked Daoist's guidance.
Their specific task was: grave robbing.
"Why isn't Qin Immortal with us?" Ye Fan asked in confusion.
Black Emperor rolled his eyes. "He's comparable to a Great Ability. He only needs to make a move when the final treasure appears. Theoretically speaking, everything we're doing now is just preparing a wedding dress for people like him."

Duan De nodded. "Qin Immortal is probably chatting and laughing with those Saint Lords right now."
Ye Fan was left speechless. He looked at his mud-covered hands from digging graves, then thought of Qin Sheng possibly drinking spiritual tea and eating immortal fruits with the Saint Lords...
"I hate Beidou!"

Ye Fan looked over and saw that Big Moon and Little Moon had arrived as well, lifting his spirits somewhat.

"They've already met in battle. This fight may well be called an Emperor Qualification Battle."
