[Today's fourth update delivered, starting the daily four-chapter outbreak, keeping my word. Where are the votes? Where are the rewards? Where are they?]
"Before the extinction, they went to Buzhou Mountain and brought back something. What exactly was it?" The veiled woman seemed a bit excited and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know. That's beyond what I can know. Perhaps we'll find the answer here!" The old man with the pipe said as he took a puff.
"We still don't know which entrance we should go to. Is there a way to distinguish them?" Ye Tianchen asked.
"No, we can only enter one by one. But it's too dangerous. Such a reckless attempt might lead us to perish here." The old man with the pipe shook his head and said.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, three powerful streams of Martial Arts True Qi rushed towards Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman, startling them. They hadn't expected that apart from them, other martial artists had also entered. It seemed this time getting the Taishi family inheritance was going to be extremely difficult!
Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman each unleashed a stream of Martial Arts True Qi to scatter the Slaughter Aura attacking them. At that moment, three figures appeared. Among them, an old fellow, a middle-aged man, and a young man about the same age as Ye Tianchen—all looked at Ye Tianchen and the others coldly, their eyes filled with killing intent.
"I didn't expect you to beat us to it. Luckily, my speed was fast enough to prevent you from seizing the Taishi family inheritance!" The old fellow said first.
"The True Qi you just used contained an image of a tripod. It seems you are the Supreme Elder of the Tripod Sect." The old man with the pipe said calmly.
"Good eye! But that won't let you survive. You must die!" The old man from the Tripod Sect said viciously.
"We, the Xinyang family, don't like anyone taking a share of our pie either. It's hard for you to survive." The middle-aged man seemed to be a progeny of the Xinyang family.
At this moment, the young man about the same age as Ye Tianchen walked up to them and said very amicably, "I am the Saint Heir of the Wudao Sacred Land—Wudao. I hope for your guidance."
"What? You're the Saint Heir of the Wudao Sacred Land?" The Xinyang family's middle-aged man asked in surprise.
"It's rumored that the Wudao Sacred Land produces a Saint Heir only once every millennium. To this day, even though the inheritance is on the brink of extinction, it still maintains ancient traditions. Looking at you, young Taoist, having achieved the Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm at such a young age, the Wudao Sacred Land is likely to flourish in your hands!" The old fellow from the Tripod Sect said in a bland tone.
"Hehe, you're too kind, senior. I hope for the same!" The Wudao Saint Heir replied humbly.
In this amiable exchange with the Wudao Saint Heir, Ye Tianchen, the veiled woman, and the old man with the pipe all nodded friendly, without saying much. This is a bloody world, a cruel world, a world where the weak are prey to the strong. Perhaps friends by your side might turn into foes in an instant. This is common. With a stranger, whether friendly or unfriendly, exchanging hearts quickly and revealing all your secrets is risky.
"Old man, all six of us here are at Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, none significantly weaker than the other. Instantly killing anyone is impossible, and likely to make oneself a target for others. I suggest you not act rashly, for there are too many unknowns here!" The old man with the pipe said, looking at the old fellow from the Tripod Sect.
"Hmph, who are we, the Tripod Sect, ever afraid of?" The old fellow from the Tripod Sect said forcefully.
"We, the Xinyang family, aren't pushovers either." The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said just as forcefully.
At this moment, the old man with the pipe frowned. Clearly, the old guy from the Tripod Clan and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family wanted to give them a harsh blow in advance. Even if they couldn't kill them, they wanted to make them concede in the process of obtaining the inheritance. Now, they just want to suppress them.
"Alright, since none of you are afraid, why would I be afraid? Then let's have a grand battle here, only those who survive are qualified to seek the inheritance of the Taishi family." The old man with the pipe spoke loudly, and a powerful Slaughter Aura surged from his entire body, sweeping across the entire space, shocking everyone. Ye Tianchen couldn't help but laugh inwardly, this old man with the pipe was indeed no simple character, hiding such formidable cultivation. Now, as he releases it, it would surely astound the dominant old Tripod Clan guy and the man from the Xinyang family.
"Since you want to be forceful and want to kill us, I won't just sit and wait for death, let's have a battle." Said the woman with a veil coldly.
"Alright, can I join?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
At this moment, the old guy from the Tripod Clan and the man from the Xinyang family were also stunned. They didn't expect the old man with the pipe to release such formidable strength in battle. Originally thinking that these three people were easy to bully and could suppress them, who knew, they weren't simple characters, not easily intimidated. Trying to scare them into retreating was impossible, and if a real battle were to occur, it was uncertain who would live and who would die. This situation put the two dominant figures in a dilemma. In reality, the old guy from the Tripod Clan and the man from the Xinyang family had a simple goal, which was to intimidate Ye Tianchen and the others, so they wouldn't compete with them in the upcoming quest for the inheritance. If they could kill them, even better. But now, it seems, killing them isn't feasible. It's uncertain who would kill whom!
"Alright everyone, I'm the youngest here, and I don't really care about snatching any inheritance, I'm just here to have a look. Frankly, the inheritance from the Wudao Sacred Land is enough for me to cultivate for a lifetime, I won't covet other inheritances. Let me say something fair, the Taishi family has already been exterminated, leaving some inheritance, which is masterless. Whoever obtains it can rightfully claim it, and we can comprehend it together, right? I feel this place is still full of dangers, seeking the Taishi family's inheritance is not that easy, we should seek it when we find it. It's too early to say who will obtain the inheritance!" The Wudao Saint Child stood among the people, smiled, and spoke as a mediator.
"Kid, who gave you the right to speak here? Being the Saint Heir of Wudao Sacred Land doesn't mean you can talk, old man will kill you with a single palm." The old guy from the Tripod Clan was strong and ferocious, with a palm striking towards the head of the Wudao Saint Child.
Pah!
Pah!
The Wudao Saint Child also unleashed a palm, meeting the palm wind of the old Tripod Clan guy. Both their palm forces were surging and powerful, colliding together. The entire space trembled, but the force quickly dissipated. The old man with the pipe frowned and said, "Seems like there's some kind of restriction here. The person who created the Inheritance Small World for the Taishi family foresaw that one day people would battle for the inheritance, setting up a formation to disperse forces, preventing the destruction of this place!"
"True elder, don't be so heated, everyone is here for the same purpose. Even if everyone here obtains the inheritance, not everyone can cultivate successfully, since everyone's fate and understanding are different, right?" The Wudao Saint Child continued smiling at the old guy from the Tripod Clan.
"Little thing, do you think you can teach me a lesson? I'll kill you!" The old guy from the Tripod Clan shouted and shot another palm.
Bang!
The Wudao Saint Child calmly made a move, blocking the Power of Slaughter from the old Tripod Clan guy, stunning him. Even though the Wudao Saint Child's cultivation realm was the same as his, they were both at the Mid-stage Martial Saint level, the old guy was older, with a more solid cultivation realm. Even if he couldn't kill the Wudao Saint Child with one palm, he should have at least repelled him. However, the Wudao Saint Child didn't move a single step, his power couldn't be underestimated.
"How about I throw a punch?" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family spoke as he threw a punch towards the Wudao Saint Child.
Boom!
The Wudao Saint Child also met the punch, but this time he retreated two steps. After all, he faced the attacks from two Mid-stage Martial Saints, to withstand without harm was already impressive, a true prodigy making Ye Tianchen, the old man with the pipe, and the veiled woman all alarmed. This Wudao Saint Child was no simple character!
"You two, if you keep attacking like this, it's of no benefit to anyone. Do you want the three of us to battle each other, critically injured and dying, waiting for others to kill us, letting the other three Taoists easily obtain the Taishi family's inheritance?" The Wudao Saint Child spoke with a smile, but his tone held firmness.
The old Tripod Clan guy and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family exchanged a glance without speaking further. The Wudao Saint Child's words had sense, and the recent exchange had already made them uneasy. Although it wasn't a life-and-death battle and hadn't unleashed all potential, the Wudao Saint Child's ability to resist their attacks on his own was no simple feat, truly a prodigy. At this age, achieving such, it would be hard to find another!
"Hmm, once the Taishi family's inheritance is found, anyone who dares compete for it, I will surely kill." The old guy from the Tripod Clan coldly snorted.
"Our Xinyang family experts are guarding outside the Taishi family ruins, I don't need to say more. If you want to live, don't compete with me!" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family also spoke forcefully. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets.
