In the dark cave, there was only a ball of flame burning. The red light illuminated Lu An's side profile. Beauty Yang looked at Lu An from the side, feeling a little worried.
Lu An was really angry.
Lu An was a very calm person. She had known Lu An for so long, and the number of times Lu An got angry could be counted on one hand. However, the consequences of each time he got angry were very serious.
Listening to Lu An's undisguised threat, the man kneeling on the ground trembled. His face was full of panic. However, he also knew that he could not escape today. Yao was right in front of him, and he could confront her at any time. If he wanted to live, he really had to tell her everything.
"My strength … was not cultivated by me, but I received the inheritance." Shao Xu's voice trembled. His tone was panicked, and he did not dare to look at Lu An. He said, "The inheritance … I stole it from Sengoku."
As soon as he said that, not only Lu An and Beauty Yang, but even Yao's body trembled. They looked at Shao Xu in shock.
That's right, Sengoku did have many records about the Land of Inheritance. After all, Sengoku often went out to destroy evil in the past 13,000 years. It was reasonable for them to encounter the inheritance. However, Sengoku did not use these inheritances, but Sengoku still recorded the locations. The books that recorded these locations were not in the Sutra Depository. The Sutra Depository could not store things about the inheritance of other clans. They were all placed in another wooden storage house.
"When did you steal it?" Yao finally opened her mouth and looked at Shao Xu.
Shao Xu looked at Yao with pleading eyes and said, "One day, we went to the bamboo forest to play. I found the wooden house. You told me that the location of the inheritance was stored in it. Then, one day, we played hide-and-seek in the bamboo forest. I pretended to run into the wooden house, but in fact, I stole a map and hid it on my body. "
"…"
Yao's body swayed. She looked at Shao Xu in disbelief.
"In other words, it was because of this inheritance that you decided to leave Sengoku?" Lu An's thoughts were not in a mess as he asked coldly.
"Yes …" Shao Xu's body trembled, and he didn't dare to look into the distance again. He said in fear, "Even if I have Divine Qi, I know my own limits. I don't have the talent for cultivation at all, and I can never compare with the people in Sengoku. But there is no limit to the inheritance, so I want to leave Sengoku. "
Lu An's eyes turned cold when he heard this. This also explained his previous doubts. Why would an ordinary person leave a place like Sengoku after finding it? This did not make sense at all.
"But that's not the only reason." Shao Xu lowered his head and continued, "Although Sengoku is beautiful, it's really too boring. There were too many rules, and he couldn't eat and drink to his heart's content. If you can't enjoy the pleasures of the world, what's the use of having great strength? "
"…"
Lu An frowned but didn't say anything. But he knew that this was indeed the thinking of most people. Whether it was strength, wealth, or power, they were all useful in order to enjoy a better life.
"Then you could have left by yourself. Why did you bring Yao with you?" Lu An asked coldly.
"Because … I was afraid. I needed a talisman." Shao Xu trembled as he said, "I was afraid that if someone found out that I lost a map and went to catch me, I would definitely die if I was caught. But if I brought the princess with me, even if I was caught, the princess would plead for me. "
"…"
Yao's face was pale, and her heart ached. She didn't expect that her past feelings would only be exchanged for such an answer. Beauty Yang looked at Yao, her eyes full of worry.
"Why did you run away in Nanhai City?" Lu An continued to ask, his eyes cold.
"Because … the inheritance is underground outside Nanhai City." At this point, Shao Xu no longer had anything to hide, and said, "I was in a hurry to accept the inheritance. If I brought Yao with me to accept the inheritance, she would definitely find out that I stole the inheritance map. This way, everything would be exposed, so … so …"
Lu An looked at Shao Xu with cold eyes, and said, "So you abandoned Yao and left without a word, right?"
"…"
Yao's body swayed, and she lowered her head and closed her eyes. Finally, everything that she didn't understand all this time was answered. Why did this man bring her away from Sengoku to elope, and then abandon her in Nanhai City? So the meaning of her existence was nothing more than a talisman that could be discarded at any time.
Although Lu An didn't turn around to look at Yao's emotions, he could clearly sense it. He didn't turn around to comfort her, because he couldn't do so now.
Lu An looked at Shao Xu, and asked again, "What's up with those women? Why do you need so many women? "
"This …" Shao Xu's face was pale, and his eyes were flustered. He didn't know how to answer.
"Speak!"
Lu An's sudden shout gave Shao Xu a huge fright. He hurriedly opened his mouth, and loudly said, "Because … Because I really like Yao, so I want to find her. I also want to find women based on her appearance and personality!"
The moment these words came out, Lu An's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Back then, after I received the inheritance, I hid deep in the mountains to stabilize my realm. I was also adapting bit by bit, and learning the Heaven Arts within the inheritance. Later on, when I finally learned everything, I realized that the surrounding countries had undergone huge changes. I was already a level seven Heavenly Master, so I gathered the Sect Masters of these Sacred Grounds. I felt that with Yao's personality, she might not have returned to the Divine Island, so I wanted to find her, and gave that order. "
"…"
Lu An's brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. That's right, what Shao Xu said wasn't wrong at all. If he hadn't met Yao on the ship back then, she might not have been able to return.
Yao eloped from Sengoku, and at that time, she didn't have any thoughts of returning. She felt that her actions had let down her family, and she didn't have the face to return. Furthermore, there was a group of treacherous people on the ship who wanted to make a move on Yao. If he wasn't there, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was no wonder that the order required the women to be of noble birth, with outstanding looks and a gentle personality. All of these were selected based on Yao's standards.
"After searching for more than a year, I realized that I couldn't find Yao, and I was a little disappointed. However, among these women, there were indeed some who looked a little similar to Yao, so I kept them." Shao Xu said very fearfully, looking at Lu An, he didn't know if he should continue speaking.
Hearing this, Lu An finally understood why the palace was filled with Sengoku clothes, and why those women had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Everything made sense now.
"Then what about the other women?" Lu An asked coldly, "With so many women, the number of women in your palace is far from enough. Where did the rest go?"
"This …" Shao Xu was obviously a little hesitant, he didn't know if he should continue speaking.
"Speak!" Lu An bellowed, and instantly, Shao Xu's body trembled!
"They … have all been locked up by me." Shao Xu hurriedly said, "There's a dungeon below the palace, and all of them are inside!"
"Dungeon?" Lu An's eyes turned serious, and asked, "Why did you lock them up?"
"…"
Shao Xu went silent once again. Just as Lu An was about to urge him again, Yao suddenly spoke up from behind him.
"You want to practice the Heavenly Yin Immortal Art?" Yao bit her lips and asked.
Heavenly Yin Immortal Art?
Lu An was stunned, and turned to look at Yao, and asked softly, "What's that?"
"It's one of Sengoku's dark immortal arts." Yao looked at Lu An, and said with a pained expression, "Just like the immortal art that Qi used back then, the Heavenly Yin Immortal Art can absorb the cold Yin energy in a woman's body. This immortal art was originally used to treat cold Yin injuries, but it can also absorb the cold Yin energy for one's own use, and can greatly increase one's lifespan. "
Lu An's heart sank, and said, "Does it affect the women?"
"Yes." Yao nodded and said, "Every time it's absorbed, it will severely damage the women's internal organs."
"This kind of injury can be recovered!" Shao Xu hurriedly interrupted their conversation, and explained, "Every time, I let them completely recover, and even let them rest for a few days before continuing to absorb. Their bodies are fine, and they are all living well in the dungeon! Their lifespan did not decrease, and I even used immortal energy to stabilize their internal organs, so their lifespan is much longer than ordinary people! "
"…"
Lu An frowned when he heard that and turned to look at Yao Yuan. Yao nodded slightly, and said, "If immortal energy is used to make up for the lost cold Yin energy, it can indeed heal the injuries. However, the pain will not be offset, and these women's bodies will also undergo changes. As for whether it's good or bad, I am unable to guess. "
Lu An frowned even more, and said, "I will inform the Sacred Ground's Sect Master of this news in a while, and let them rescue everyone."
The two women nodded, the fact that the women did not die could only be considered as a blessing in disguise.
Following that, Lu An looked at Shao Xu, who was kneeling on the ground, and took a deep breath, and said to Yao, "You decide how to deal with him."
