Chapter 939 Abandoned
Zhou Zeyao glanced at Chen Yang with a hint of helplessness, finding him too preoccupied.
As soon as Chen Yang noticed Zhou Zeyao's gaze, he blinked his eyes.
As the group ascended the mountain, Que Yitianzun immediately led Luo Xiaohao towards the main peak.
Along the way, Que Yitianzun spoke extensively about his sect.
" My lineage has found its continuation with you. Besides passing on these inheritances, I have another extremely important task for you to undertake."
Luo Xiaohao looked at the illusory figure before him, then down at his own flying body, and couldn't help but swallow.
Even now, Luo Xiaohao still had many unanswered questions.
He could only nod subconsciously to Que Yitianzun's instructions.
Seeing Luo Xiaohao's state, Que Yitianzun could only shake his head helplessly.
"If I had more time, I could explain the reasons behind this to you, but my spiritual energy is already beginning to dissipate."
"The path ahead is one you must walk yourself!"
Upon reaching the main peak, Luo Xiaohao's body involuntarily settled onto a meditation cushion.
Before him stood a statue, its material unknown. The already damaged statue was now covered in cracks.
The next second, Luo Xiaohao fainted.
Luo Xiaohao seemed to have a long dream, where he soared through the heavens and dived into the seas, omnipotent.
Until one day, foreseeing his own death, he fused his lifelong achievements into a scroll.
Named the Que Yi scroll.
The Que Yi scroll had passed through many individuals, some righteous, some wicked.
Until Luo Xiaohao saw his own figure!
The old man in the tomb had been targeting him for a very long time.
When Luo Xiaohao opened his eyes again, he found nothing before him.
Only a faint warmth emanated from his abdomen.
The Que Yi scroll had, at some point, entered his body!
"Am I a martial artist now?"
Luo Xiaohao exclaimed and immediately threw a punch at the ground.
But the floor remained intact, while his hand throbbed with pain.
After searching the hall in vain for Que Yitianzun, Luo Xiaohao could only reluctantly head down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Chen Yang and the others, who had been anxiously waiting, rushed out to investigate when they heard the shouts from outside.
Chen Yang looked at Luo Xiaohao, his eyes scanning the man, and felt a faint surge of internal energy. He gasped, "How can he have internal energy after such a short time?"
Zhou Zeyao, without stepping forward to examine, chuckled and said, "You don't understand. Luo Xiaohao had no prior foundation. If he had received the inheritance through ordinary means, his spiritual energy wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure."
"He could have easily become a madman or an idiot!"
"If it were me, I would have sealed the inheritance within his body, and unsealing it step by step would be the best approach."
Zhou Zeyao could speak with such conviction because he himself might have resorted to such methods.
Before meeting Hu Feng, Zhou Zeyao's spiritual energy had already been severely depleted.
Had it not been for obtaining a physical body that allowed him to slowly recover, this would have been his chosen method of inheritance.
Seeing that the inheritance was no longer relevant to her, Rong Yuqing quickly inquired, "Where is Senior Que Yi?"
Luo Xiaohao said with a troubled expression, "When I woke up, he was already gone. Should we leave now, or wait a bit longer?"
Chen Yang, seeing that Luo Xiaohao seemed to still not grasp the situation, shook his head helplessly and explained, "That was merely Senior Que Yi's spiritual energy. Since the inheritance has been passed to you, it's likely that spiritual energy has already dissipated into the heavens and earth!"
"The heritage of this sect, you must never forget this day."
Luo Xiaohao nodded bitterly. According to Chen Yang, the Senior Que Yi, or rather, his master, was truly "dead."
Rong Yuqing then looked at Luo Xiaohao very solemnly and said, "In that case, this space now belongs to you."
"Allow me to reintroduce myself, I am Rong Yuqing, a steward of Tian Ji Ling Long."
"You cannot defend this space. How about selling it to Tian Ji Ling Long?"
Rong Yuqing certainly didn't believe this place was without value. This space alone was a priceless treasure.
A person who had just become a martial artist would naturally be unable to protect it.
As soon as she left and removed the array that masked their presence, ancient martial artists observing from the shadows would surely come to seize it.
Before Luo Xiaohao could speak, Dong Cang stepped forward and stood before him, his gaze chillingly fixed on Rong Yuqing of Tian Ji Ling Long, "Is that so? Cannot defend it?"
"On what grounds?"
Dong Cang's voice was cold, and everyone could even detect a hint of killing intent.
Rong Yuqing paused, then looked at Chen Yang with a hint of shock.
Simultaneously, she transmitted a message, inquiring, "Chen Yang, what does this War God Dong Cang mean? Is he planning to claim it?"
"I provided the location, and it took considerable effort on my part. He's not planning to make me lose everything, is he?"
Chen Yang stepped between them, smiling amiably, "Alright, alright. We are all friends, why the hostility?"
He also explained the situation to Luo Xiaohao.
These people had originally come to seize this opportunity.
Moreover, Rong Yuqing had borne the brunt of the effort.
Now that the opportunity was gone, they couldn't just leave empty-handed.
"I'm not sure what treasures are in this place. Why don't you take a look around? See if there's anything you can take with you."
Luo Xiaohao was not a naive fool and understood Chen Yang's predicament.
The items here were valuable, but it was clearly not the time to discuss them.
The woman before him looked genuinely fierce.
Furthermore, Rong Yuqing had offered to pay.
As the group explored the space together, he actually found some discarded items.
This had been Que Yitianzun's dojo. The medicinal herbs in the rooms had turned to dust, and items like spirit stones had lost their spiritual energy. Yet, Rong Yuqing still offered her price.
Chen Yang looked at Rong Yuqing curiously, "They've lost their spiritual energy, why do you want these stones?"
Before Rong Yuqing could explain, Zhou Zeyao interjected, "Even though the spirit stones have no spiritual energy left, their material is very suitable for making imprinting stones. You can think of it as recording video. Didn't you mention hearing the great demons talking about it in the snow forest before?"
"The two things are different, but their purpose is the same. Tian Ji Ling Long is quite adept at turning waste into treasure!"
In addition to some "discarded" items, the group also found some special things.
