Just What I Want
"Who is it?"
The sudden appearance of this ghostly voice made Ye Zichen's heart skip a beat. He stood up and looked around the armory a few times before finally seeing a shadow cast on the wall, illuminated by the lamplight.
His heart skipped a beat. After a long while, he swallowed his saliva and pointed at the shadow on the wall.
"You were the one talking just now."
The flames on the torches in the room swayed a few times, and the shadows on the walls also became distorted by the swaying light.
"That's right."
It really was the ghost on the wall. Ye Zichen had seen his fair share of ghosts in the Modern Realm and the Lower Three Realms. But this was his first time seeing a ghost in this form, and in this sort of atmosphere.
He couldn't quite figure out the ghost's origins. He gulped again, then a ball of fire appeared in his palm. He took a few steps back.
"You're the Five Elements Great Emperor?"
"You don't need to know who I am." The ghost on the wall flickered a few times, then said, "I heard everything you said just now. I'm here to ask you: what do you want?"
Ye Zichen couldn't see its face, nor could he sense its tone.
He didn't know what the ghost wanted, but if it really was the Five Elements Great Emperor's soul, then he hadn't said anything good about the Five Elements Great Emperor. Perhaps it was here for revenge …..
"My apologies, my apologies. I didn't think I'd alarm you. In truth, I don't want anything. The treasures here belong to the fated, and I'm afraid I'm not the fated. How could I possibly want the treasures here? How about this: you stay here and rest. I won't disturb your cultivation any longer. I'll be on my way. "
At a time like this, greed was the worst thing to do. If he really let his greed get the better of him and excitedly said what he wanted … Who knew? Perhaps the Five Elements Great Emperor's ghost would find an opportunity to kill him.
He'd rather lose the divine artifact than stay alive.
As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope. So long as he was alive, he could obtain anything he wanted.
He laughed drily and tried to leave the armory, but at that moment, the door slammed shut.
"Boss, I said something wrong before. I apologize to you. No matter what, you are one of heaven's chosen Twin Emperors, one of the leaders of the God World. You can't be so petty, right? "
As he watched the metal door close, Ye Zichen's face contorted into a bitter melon. He had even closed the door. He was definitely looking for trouble.
He must've overheard me badmouthing the Five Elements Great Emperor.
If he was dead, then he was dead. Why did he have to leave a wisp of his soul here? Was it to scare the people who came here in the future, or was it to say that he wanted to keep this soul to find a suitable successor?
If that really was the case, Ye Zichen could only say that it was too late for regrets.
He should've continued to sing praises of the Five Elements Great Emperor, and continued to act like a young man with ambition and ambition.
This was great. Not only did he not obtain the inheritance, he even lost his life here.
Of course, it wasn't over yet. Ye Zichen couldn't give up so easily.
"Senior, when I saw your landscape painting, the fire in my heart burned fiercely. The God Emperor pretended to be benevolent and righteous, actually plotting against an upright person like you, Senior. After I saw it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. I believed that avenging you was an urgent matter, and that the God Emperor's mask had to be exposed as soon as possible. That's why I endured many hardships to find the other two possessors of the painting. I opened the world within the painting in search of good fortune and revenge for you! "
"Perhaps this Junior is too passionate about avenging you, or perhaps this Junior is too slow-witted to be able to enter your eyes. It's been a long time since I've received your inheritance, and I'm a bit angry. That's why I said such things. But you must believe that my heart is on your side. "
"I trust that you're a righteous person. Of course, if I've truly angered you, you're welcome to kill me. However, I hope that you'll leave my soul behind, so that it may reside within this mausoleum and serve you. "
He was retreating in order to advance!
These words were absolutely enough to move anyone, especially that last line about leaving his soul to serve him. This was a direct reflection of his respect and fanaticism for the Five Elements Great Emperor.
In the face of such a sincere and sincere junior, the Five Elements Great Emperor would most likely spare his life, unless he wanted to kill him.
"Alright, that's exactly what I wanted. Then stay here and keep me company."
To everyone's surprise, the ghost in the armory said these words. Even Ye Zichen's expression, which seemed to hold no regard for life or death, stiffened.
"Senior, you …."
Afraid he'd misheard, Ye Zichen couldn't help but ask again.
"Didn't you say you wanted to stay here and keep me company? It just so happens that I've been here for far too long. I'm lonely. Having someone stay behind and keep me company isn't bad. "
All of a sudden, the ghostly figure emerged from the wall. Ye Zichen could almost see the fangs in its mouth ….
"Senior, I'm not good with words, and I'm clumsy. If I stay, I'll definitely make you unhappy."
"That's fine. If you provoke me, I'll just have to destroy your soul."
The ghost seemed determined to kill him. Ye Zichen's palms blazed as he stood in front of him and shouted.
"Senior, I'm here to avenge you!"
"Senior, just like you, I'm one of heaven's two chosen emperors!"
"Senior, I also cultivate the Dao of the Five Elements!"
"Senior, this junior doesn't want to die!"
The ghost in front of him had a smile on its face, and then it returned to the wall.
"Why didn't you just say that from the start?"
Ye Zichen curled up in a corner of the armory. His heart was about to leap out of his chest. When he heard the ghost say that, and then return to the wall, he understood that it was just trying to scare him.
It seemed acting was useless sometimes. In front of this crafty old fox, his little acting skills were far too exaggerated.
"Senior, you scared me to death."
Ye Zichen clutched his heart and laughed bitterly. He sat powerlessly on the ground and panted heavily.
"You're scared just like that? How are you going to get revenge?" The ghost sighed. "Earlier, you said you wanted half of the weapons here?"
"No, no, I was just joking …."
Asking for half was pure nonsense. It was already clear that he wasn't one of the Five Elements Great Emperor's successors.
If he were, the ghost would've seen it all and the seals would've dispersed.
Since he wasn't the successor, he still wanted half ….
Use his head?
"Even if you really want it, I can't give it to you. However, I can let you choose any weapon you like, but you can only choose one! "
So that's what the ghost on the wall said. Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
