"I don't know the specifics either," Chu Xifeng shook his head.
Then his eyes shone with a strange light. "Even if it's just a small inheritance, it's still a rare opportunity for you and I. We're both in the False Spirit realm right now, so if we get the inheritance here, we might even be able to step into the Void Spirit realm."
Li Mu Yun calmed his mood and turned his thoughts away from the illusory sky. He smiled and said, "Back in the day, when you and I were still Houtian masters, we fought many times without a clear victor. I didn't expect that today we would return to square one and have to compete again as Houtian masters."
Chu Xifeng laughed and was about to speak when he suddenly gave a start.
A moment later, their eyes turned cold as they spoke in unison, "There's still someone else?"
At the same time, Yang Xuan received a notification.
It was a set of coordinates that indicated the number of people still in the central area: four.
There were still four people left.
But that wasn't strange. The problem was that the final coordinates were the mountain peak he was standing on right now.
The earth trembled as rocks flew from the peak. Soon enough, a tall metal door appeared in front of Yang Xuan.
The metal door didn't have a leaf, but a ball of blue light in the middle. Occasionally, arcs of electricity would streak across it, making it look very mysterious.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes. The material used to make this door was obviously the same as the Qingxue Country ruins and the tall tower at the entrance.
Presumably, this was the final location of the inheritance.
In that case, as long as he stepped into the blue light, he'd know the secrets of the ruins. Perhaps he could even unlock the secrets of the black pearl in his body.
He even had a premonition that he'd learn a thing or two about Little Snow's secrets once he entered.
With the door right in front of him, Yang Xuan didn't hesitate to step into the blue light.
Boom!
Just as he neared the blue light, a powerful force rebounded him, causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.
I can't get close?
Yang Xuan's mind spun as he realized what was going on.
Only the final existences were allowed to enter, but there were still four people left in the central area.
In other words, if he wanted to enter the light door, he'd have to kill the other three as well.
Swoosh!
Just as Yang Xuan was deep in thought, two figures suddenly rushed over from the foot of the mountain. Before they even landed, a cry of surprise was heard.
"Bai Qi, you're not dead?"
Yang Xuan slowly turned around, his gaze resting on Chu Xifeng and Li Muyun.
Chu Xifeng stared at Yang Xuan in astonishment. He didn't understand why Yang Xuan wasn't dead.
Li Muyun, on the other hand, looked at the blue door of light behind Yang Xuan, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Anyone who saw it would know that this light gate was the final location of the inheritance.
Chu Xifeng examined the door a few more times before his surprise vanished. His gaze rested on Yang Xuan again, his eyes cold.
"Bai Qi, are you going to do it yourself, or do you want us to send you out?" he asked calmly.
Both he and Li Muyun were at the pinnacle of Stage Ten, so they were confident that they could defeat Yang Xuan, who was at Stage Nine Internal Force.
Yang Xuan ignored him and continued to survey his surroundings.
There were still four survivors left. If he'd killed three of them, then where was the last one?
Li Muyun saw that Yang Xuan was ignoring them and said impatiently, "Brother Chu, what's the point of talking to him? Just send him out and kill the last one. It'll save time."
Chu Xifeng nodded and didn't say another word. His feet paused for a moment before he threw himself at Yang Xuan.
"Bai Qi, then let me send you on your way," he said coldly before slapping down with his palm.
In the next instant, his smile froze on his face.
"That's impossible!" A moment later, he let out a roar as he stared in disbelief at the icicle protruding from his chest.
He didn't feel any pain, but his eyes were already starting to blur.
"Bai Qi, I'll wait for you outside. I'll tear you to shreds. Bai Qi … "Chu Xifeng's roars stopped abruptly as he vanished from his spot.
He'd been eliminated. Yang Xuan had cut off his chances. From now on, he and Yang Xuan would never rest until one of them was dead.
Li Muyun was stunned. He hadn't seen how Yang Xuan had killed Chu Xifeng, but Yang Xuan hadn't even moved from his spot.
He wouldn't have found it strange if this was outside, but they were in the illusory realm of the ruins. He and Chu Xifeng were both at the peak of Stage Ten, so could it be that Bai Qi had broken through to the Xiantian realm?
But that was impossible. Bai Qi's aura was clearly at Stage Nine Internal Force, not Xiantian.
"How did you do it?" Li Muyun narrowed his eyes as he asked in a low voice.
Yang Xuan was too lazy to pay him any attention. Since the door only allowed one person to enter, the rest of them had to be eliminated. There was no room for discussion.
Li Muyun's expression gradually turned gloomy. If Bai Qi could kill Chu Xifeng in one blow, then he was no match for him. It was very possible that he'd follow in Chu Xifeng's footsteps.
"Bai Qi, listen to me for a moment," Li Muyun's eyes flickered.
Li Muyun's eyes flashed as he said in a low voice, "You eliminated Chu Xifeng, which means you've completely offended the Celestial Lake faction. If you eliminate me as well, then I can tell you that the Cloudy Palace will hunt you down until you're dead. Offending two sacred grounds at once? No matter how powerful your immortal sect is, I don't think it'll be enough. "
Seeing that Yang Xuan didn't speak, Li Muyun paused, then continued, "If you can give me the inheritance, I'll owe you a favor. After we leave, I'll mediate between you and Chu Xifeng. Perhaps you can turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk. In the end, you and I are just fighting over the inheritance. There's no deep hatred between us. Think it over and you'll see that my words aren't wrong. "
Actually, Li Muyun wasn't wrong. If he obtained the inheritance, he'd have to share it with Celestial Lake. In that case, as long as he sincerely mediated, he might be able to quell Chu Xifeng's anger.
However, all of this was based on the fact that he was sincere in mediating the situation.
"Are you done?" Yang Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Muyun, his face expressionless.
Li Muyun felt stifled before his expression turned extremely gloomy.
Anyone who could cultivate to the Spirit Realm was a genius gifted by the heavens. As soon as Yang Xuan looked over, he knew what Yang Xuan's decision was.
"Yang Xuan, you'll regret this!" Li Muyun stared fixedly at Yang Xuan as he spat out word by word.
In the next instant, he rose from the ground, a long blade appearing in his hands as he swung it at Yang Xuan.
His cultivation was at the peak of the tenth level of internal energy, so it was no small matter. His blade seemed to split the air in half, its power astonishing.
Just as the blade was about to hit Yang Xuan, a crescent moon suddenly appeared in Li Muyun's eyes.
It was a bright, golden crescent that was exceptionally beautiful. As soon as it appeared, it slashed across Li Muyun's neck.
"You'll definitely regret this!" Li Muyun's eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke his last words before disappearing.
Yang Xuan looked at the scattered orbs of light on the ground, but he had no intention of absorbing them.
After a moment of silence, he spoke up.
"Come out. It's just the two of us left here, so there's no need to hide."
As soon as he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in yellow robes slowly revealed himself.
He wore a slight smile as he cupped his hands towards Yang Xuan. "This one is Shen Yulou. Hello, Brother Bai!"
