Chapter 2127
Don't you Heavenly Demon Sect want to obtain the ancient inheritance?
After the ancient ruins were discovered, more and more foreign forces entered the Great Zhou Dynasty and came to the capital city.
Most foreign forces head straight for the entrance to the ancient ruins, but only when they find that their own people cannot enter will they go to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to try to gather information about the ruins.
Soon news spread that only Lu Chen, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had entered the ancient ruins; anyone else who went would die.
Upon hearing this news, all the foreign forces set their sights on Lu Chen. Since they couldn't enter, their only chance to obtain the ancient inheritance inside was to rely on those who could enter, namely Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng.
However, considering that Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng are now both at the Heavenly Realm, all forces dare not act rashly.
At this very moment, in a forest outside the entrance to the Great Zhou Ruins, several leading disciples from the Central Plains forces were discussing matters concerning the ancient ruins.
Wu Junwan's gaze fell on the red bridal sedan chair in the distance, around which stood several disciples of the Demonic Sect dressed in black.
Feeling the unpleasant aura emanating from them, Wu Yunwan wanted nothing more than to attack them, but considering that they still had to join forces to deal with the Great Zhou, she forcibly suppressed her inner impulse.
Beside the bridal sedan chair stood a beautiful woman dressed in a light purple gauze dress; Yelü Nanyan had also arrived.
At this moment, Chen Min glanced at everyone present and said with a serious expression, "I believe you all already know about the situation in Great Zhou. Originally, I thought Great Zhou only had two Heavenly Realm experts, but according to the information we have gathered, Lu Chen is also a Heavenly Realm expert."
"Moreover, Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng have already entered the ancient ruins, so you should understand what I mean."
At this moment, a charming female voice came from inside the bridal sedan chair: "Judging from your words, you suspect that the ancient inheritance has already been obtained by those two?"
Chen Min said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Otherwise, how could they have come out so quickly after entering the ancient ruins?"
"According to the intelligence we received, they never went back to the ruins after leaving them. It's an ancient ruin, after all; there couldn't possibly be nothing inside."
"Unless they have already obtained the inheritance inside and are no longer interested in the things in the ruins."
"Both of them are at the Heavenly Realm, and the inheritance inside is of great use to them. They certainly wouldn't give it away to others, especially to us outsiders. But Lu Chen said that anyone can enter the ruins to explore."
Upon hearing Chen Min's words, Wu Junwan fell silent.
Chen Min's words make sense.
After hearing that Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng had entered the ruins, she also wondered if the ancient inheritance had been obtained by the two of them.
But then she thought that it was unlikely that the two of them could have explored the ancient ruins in just one night.
In the past, the ancient ruins they explored, especially those left by ancient powerful beings, would have taken several months or even years to explore all the areas.
The powerful beings who could seal off the entire borderland with restrictions must have left behind a vast expanse of ruins. How could it be possible to explore it all in just one night?
Moreover, the ancient heritage cannot be found so easily. It's impossible for them to obtain the ancient heritage as soon as they enter the ruins, right?
What powerful being would place ancient traditions at the entrance of a ruin?
At this moment, Yelü Nanyan said, "If the ancient inheritance is truly in their hands, with our strength, it would be very difficult to seize it from them."
Two Heavenly Realm experts were already difficult to deal with, and now Lu Chen is also a Heavenly Realm expert. Their side has three Heavenly Realm experts, while their side has none. Even if they use their trump cards, they are unlikely to be a match for them. Most people still think they should wait until the restriction is lifted and let the elders of their respective forces take action personally.
At this moment, Chen Min looked at the sedan chair where Xue Linglong was, and then said, "With our own strength, it is indeed unlikely that we can defeat them."
"But if we use the Blood Refining Sealing Array, it's not impossible to seal them."
Hearing Chen Min's words, Xue Linglong chuckled and said, "Are you sure? To seal three Heavenly Realm experts, you'd need to sacrifice quite a few people. Are you righteous sects willing to kill so many?"
Chen Min said, "Haven't you, the Demonic Sect, killed enough people? A million people is just a number to you."
Upon hearing Chen Min's words, Xue Linglong seemed to realize what was going on, and then said, "Miss Chen, do you mean to make our Heavenly Demon Sect take the blame for your prestigious sects? You've certainly got a good plan."
Chen Min said, "Don't you Heavenly Demon Sect want to obtain the ancient inheritance?"
Xue Linglong said, "There is only one copy of the ancient inheritance. Even if our Heavenly Demon Sect helps you seal those three Heavenly Realm experts, only one force can obtain that inheritance."
"I don't believe that you people are willing to give that ancient heritage to the Heavenly Demon Sect."
For the Heavenly Demon Sect, killing millions of people is nothing, but to be burdened with such a huge stigma while the ancient inheritance is given to someone else is a losing proposition they are certainly unwilling to make.
Chen Min then said, "You know that only one force can obtain the ancient inheritance. At that time, everyone will rely on their own abilities, and no one can say for sure whether the Heavenly Demon Church will seize that ancient inheritance."
"Could it be that Sect Leader Xue lacks confidence in the strength of your Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Xue Linglong said with a smile, "You don't need to provoke me. If you want me to help you, it's not impossible, but I have one condition."
Chen Min asked, "What are your requirements? Please feel free to name them, Master Xue."
Xue Linglong said, "All of you must swear an oath against your inner demons. Before leaving the borderlands, no one from any of your factions is allowed to kill any disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Otherwise, you will be haunted by inner demons and one day be devoured by spiritual evil."
Xue Linglong understood that it was impossible to completely prevent them from attacking the Heavenly Demon Sect, so she made a more realistic request.
Once they actually seal Lu Chen and the other two Heavenly Realm cultivators, a major conflict will inevitably break out between the various forces. With the oath of the Heart Demon, even if a fight breaks out, these people will not dare to kill the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Upon hearing Xue Linglong's request, Wu Junwan's face instantly darkened.
Among the forces present, the people of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty hated the Heavenly Demon Sect the most. After all, many ordinary people of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had died at the hands of those demons of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Originally, she was thinking that once Xue Linglong sealed those three Heavenly Realm experts, she would immediately get rid of Xue Linglong.
Unexpectedly, Xue Linglong made such a request.
Just then, Yelü Nanyan said, "Our people may refrain from killing the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect must not kill our disciples either."
Xue Linglong said, "Of course, I will also make a vow against my inner demons later."
No sooner had Xue Linglong finished speaking than Wu Yunwan interjected, "Wait, you are a member of the Demonic Sect. Even if you are plagued by inner demons, it won't affect your cultivation. On the contrary, it might even help you break through to a higher realm." (End of Chapter)
