Chapter 2437 - 2127: Don’t Your Sky Demon Sect Want to Obtain the Ancient Inheritance?

After the ancient ruins emerged, an increasing number of Outer Domain forces entered Dazhou, arriving in the Great Zhou Capital.

Most Outer Domain forces would head straight for the entrance of the ancient ruins, but when they discovered that their people could not enter the ruins, they would then head to the Great Zhou Capital to gather intelligence about the ruins.

Soon, news spread that only Lu Chen, the Emperor of Great Zhou, and the people from Zhen Nan Prince Manor had entered that ancient ruin; anyone else who went would die.

Upon hearing this news, all the Outer Domain forces set their sights on Lu Chen. Since they couldn’t enter, if they wanted to obtain the ancient inheritance inside, they could only rely on those who could enter—namely Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng.

However, just thinking about how Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng were now both in the Heavenly Realm, none of the factions dared to act rashly.

At this moment, within a forest outside the entrance of the Dazhou ruins, several leading disciples from the Central State Powers were discussing the matters of the ancient ruins.

Wu Junwan’s gaze fell on the red palanquin in the distance, surrounded by several Demon Sect disciples dressed in black.

Sensing the unpleasant aura of blood emanating from them, Wu Junwan couldn’t help but feel the urge to act against them; however, considering that they still needed to join forces to deal with Dazhou, she forcibly suppressed her inner impulse.

Beside the palanquin, there was a beautiful woman in a purple gauze dress—Yelv Nanyan had also arrived.

At this time, Chen Min scanned everyone present and said seriously, "I believe you’ve all heard about the situation in Dazhou. Initially, I thought that Dazhou only had two in the Heavenly Realm, but based on our gathered intelligence, Lu Chen is also in the Heavenly Realm."

"Furthermore, Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng have already entered the ancient ruins, you should understand what I mean."

Then a charming female voice came from the palanquin, "From what you’re saying, are you suggesting that the ancient inheritance might have already been obtained by the two of them?"

Chen Min said, "We can’t rule out that possibility."

"Otherwise, how would they have exited the ancient ruins so quickly after entering?"

"Based on our intelligence, after they left the ruins, they’ve never gone back. After all, it’s an ancient ruin, it can’t possibly have nothing inside."

"Unless they’ve already obtained the inheritance within and are no longer interested in the other things inside."

"Both of them are in the Heavenly Realm, and the inheritance inside holds great value to them. They certainly wouldn’t give such an inheritance to others, especially us from the Outer Domain. Yet Lu Chen said that anyone could enter the ruins to explore."

Hearing Chen Min’s words, Wu Junwan fell into silence.

Chen Min’s words were not without reason.

She too had suspected that Lu Chen and Ji Yunmeng might have obtained the ancient inheritance after hearing that they had entered the ruins.

But then she reconsidered; it seemed unlikely that just one night would suffice to explore the entire ancient ruins.

In the past, the ancient ruins they explored, especially those left by Ancient Great Powers, required several months or even years to thoroughly explore all areas within.

The ruins left by someone capable of sealing the entire Border Wilderness with enchantments should be vast. How could they possibly be explored in just one night?

Moreover, the ancient inheritance couldn’t possibly be so easily found. They couldn’t have just entered the ruins and immediately obtained the ancient inheritance inside, could they?

No Great Power would place the ancient inheritance right at the entrance of the ruins.

At this moment, Yelv Nanyan said, "If the ancient inheritance is indeed in their hands, with our current strength, it’s likely difficult to seize the inheritance from them."

Dealing with two in the Heavenly Realm is already challenging; now that Lu Chen is also in the Heavenly Realm, their side has three in the Heavenly Realm, while we have none. Even using trump cards, we’re probably not their opponent.

Most people think it’s best to wait until the restrictions are lifted, allowing the elders of their respective factions to act personally.

At this moment, Chen Min’s gaze shifted to the carriage where Xue Linglong was, then she said, "With our own strength, attempting to defeat them is indeed unlikely."

"But if we were to use the Blood Refining Seal Array, it’s not impossible to seal them."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong chuckled softly and said, "Are you sure? To seal three Heavenly Realm strong individuals would require quite a few sacrifices. Are you Righteous Sects willing to kill that many people?"

Chen Min said, "Haven’t you Demon Sect killed enough people? A million lives, to you Demon Sect, are just numbers."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linglong seemed to have realized something, then said, "Is Miss Chen suggesting that our Sky Demon Sect should take the blame for your Righteous Sects? You certainly plan well."

Chen Min said, "Doesn’t the Sky Demon Sect want to obtain the ancient inheritance?"

Xue Linglong said, "There is only one ancient inheritance, and even if our Sky Demon Sect helped you seal those three in the Heavenly Realm, only one force could obtain that inheritance."

"I don’t believe you people would willingly hand over the ancient inheritance to the Sky Demon Sect."

For the Sky Demon Sect, killing a few hundred thousand people means little, but taking the blame while the ancient inheritance went to someone else is a losing bargain they are unwilling to make.

At this point, Chen Min said, "You know as well as I do that only one faction can obtain the ancient inheritance, and when the time comes, everyone will rely on their own abilities. Who can say for sure whether or not the Sky Demon Sect will seize the ancient inheritance?"

"Could it be that Sect Leader Xue lacks confidence in the strength of the Sky Demon Sect?"

Xue Linglong said with a smile, "You can’t provoke me into action. If you want my help, it’s not impossible, but I have one condition."

Chen Min asked, "What condition? Sect Leader Xue, please feel free to propose."

Xue Linglong said, "All of you must swear a Heart Demon Oath, that before leaving the Border Wilderness, none of your faction’s people will kill any Sky Demon Sect disciple, or you will be haunted by a Heart Demon and ultimately suffer a spiritual evil backlash."

Xue Linglong also understood that expecting them to completely refrain from acting against the Sky Demon Sect was impossible, so she set a more practical requirement.

By the time they truly sealed those three in the Heavenly Realm, fierce battles would surely break out among the various factions, and with the Heart Demon Oath, even if fighting breaks out, these people wouldn’t dare to kill a Sky Demon Sect disciple.

Hearing Xue Linglong’s demand made Wu Junwan’s face instantly turn dark.

Among all the factions present, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty despised the Sky Demon Sect the most, as many commoners of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty had died at the hands of the Demonic Sect’s Demonic People. Wu Junwan had initially thought that once Xue Linglong sealed those three in the Heavenly Realm, she would immediately deal with Xue Linglong.

Unexpectedly, Xue Linglong put forward such a condition.

At this time, Yelv Nanyan said, "Our people can refrain from killing Sky Demon Sect disciples, but the disciples of the Sky Demon Sect must also not kill our disciples."

Xue Linglong said, "Naturally, I too will take a Heart Demon Oath shortly."

As Xue Linglong finished speaking, Wu Junwan immediately said, "Wait, you are already a demonic person from the Demon Sect. Even if you are haunted by a Heart Demon, it won’t affect your cultivation; it might even help you reach a higher realm."
