News of Gu Xuan's Death
The Ancestor Realm master from Ying Tian Sect had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw that there were actually three people coming, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of excitement in his eyes.
The death rate of the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion was simply too high. Sometimes, there would be no survivors at all. This time, the fact that there were three survivors was already quite good.
"How's your harvest?" The Ancestor looked at the three of them and asked expectantly.
"We've all received the inheritances of emperor-level warriors," Xue Feng said in a deep voice.
"They all obtained emperor-level inheritances?" The Ancestor Realm martial artist sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at the three of them with burning eyes. It was as if he was looking at three amazing treasures.
An Emperor-level inheritance could pave the way for a slightly talented person to reach the Zong Realm. Naturally, the disciples who could enter the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion would not be too weak. This also meant that Xue Feng and the other two were already Zong Realm martialists.
"Indeed. We discovered a legacy site. There are a total of three Legacy Stone Talismans. The three of us obtained all of them," replied Pang Yun. However, there was not much excitement in his voice.
They had obtained the inheritance, but the person who had given them this opportunity was already dead.
"Very good, follow me to see the Elder of Imparting Techniques!" The Ancestor Realm martial artist was ecstatic.
"It's a pity that Junior Brother Gu Xuan died." Xue Feng sighed. He seemed to be in low spirits.
"What's the big deal about people dying in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion? Back then, I also participated in the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. That's why I was sent here to escort you disciples into the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion. Back then, aside from me, everyone else died.
The Ancestor Realm martial artist shook his head, not taking it to heart. "The fact that three of you survived and all of you obtained the inheritance is already a great fortune for the sect. Since you chose the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion, everyone has the possibility of dying!"
The Zong Realm martial artist used his essence force to envelop the three of them and soared into the sky.
This time, because there were two fewer people, their speed was 50% faster than before.
When they reached the central region, the elder from Ying Tian Sect was still a little wary of the strange voice from before. However, the administrator's strange voice did not appear again, and that made him sigh in relief.
When Xue Feng and the others arrived at the Ying Tian Sect, the news that the three of them had received the inheritance spread among the upper echelons of the Ying Tian Sect. Many of the upper echelons of the Ying Tian Sect were overjoyed.
Right now, Ying Tian Sect was ranked last among the four small sects nearby. Regardless of whether it was in terms of top-notch combat power or Zong Realm combat power, they were far inferior to Ying Tian Sect. If Xue Feng and the other two could be nurtured, then they would definitely be able to reach Zong Realm and be of great help to the sect.
When the Imparting Elder received the news of Gu Xuan's' death, 'he could not help but sigh. He even felt somewhat vexed. The reason Gu Xuan went to the Flame Demon Ancient Mansion was because of his request. Originally, he thought that with Gu Xuan's strength, he would at least be able to preserve his life even if he failed to shine in the Gu Mansion.
Especially since he had given Gu Xuan a life-saving item. There should have been no problem, but Gu Xuan still hadn't returned.
"Could it be that Gu Xuan wanted to pass my test, so he did not use the life saving item I gave him. In the end, he did not have the time to use it until his death?"
Elder Chuan was full of regret. Gu Xuan's previous performance made him certain that Gu Xuan's talent was not inferior to Yang Yu's, so he had high hopes for Gu Xuan.
However, Elder Chuan had not expected that such high hopes would cost Gu Xuan his life.
The news of Xue Feng and the other two obtaining the inheritance was sealed by the upper echelons. Furthermore, the three of them became disciples of the elders and were heavily nurtured by the sect.
As for Gu Xuan, he had once attracted the attention of the upper echelons. However, many people eventually forgot about him due to his death.
Too many geniuses had fallen. Although Gu Xuan was rather dazzling and received the attention of the Imparting Elder, he was already dead. No matter how dazzling he was, there was no meaning to it.
Aside from the upper echelons of the Ying Heaven Sect, the news of Gu Xuan's death also reached the ears of Han Xinyan and Yang Yu, two people who were familiar with Gu Xuan.
This was especially so for Han Xinyan. When she heard this news, she fainted from shock.
Although Yang Yu's reaction was not intense, he never went to the Imparting Elder to seek advice again.
…
Another twenty-odd days passed. Then, another buzzing sound came from the Flame Demon Ancient Mansion's forbidden land. The number on the inheritance stele finally changed from eight to nine.
The completion of the ninth step of the inheritance meant that Gu Xuan had finally received the complete inheritance of the Flame Demon.
"It's finally completed. I'm still a little regretful. Why didn't I display my strength back then? That way, I wouldn't have wasted so many days here!"
A faint smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face. He seemed a little tired. After staying in this secret room for more than two months, Gu Xuan also felt a little exhausted.
However, for the sake of the huge Flame Demon Ancient Mansion, Gu Xuan resisted the urge to reach the ninth step of the inheritance stele.
"Qing Feng, I've already passed. Come over quickly and let me out," Gu Xuan said tiredly as he stretched his back.
A moment later, Envoy Qing Feng appeared in the secret room. When he saw the number "nine" on the black stele, he was extremely excited.
"Envoy Qing Feng greets Master!"
Envoy Qing Feng looked at Gu Xuan and knelt down respectfully.
"You are …" Gu Xuan was stunned.
Envoy Qing Feng remained kneeling on the ground and said respectfully, "Master, you might not know this, but the reason I was able to exist as a spirit soul for thousands of years was because I was a Martial Emperor in my previous life. Most importantly, I have already become one with the Gu Mansion and become its soul. Now that Master has become the master of the Gu Mansion, you are naturally my master as well."
"So, that is how it is." It was only then that Gu Xuan nodded his head in realization. There was some respect on his face as he respectfully bowed to Qing Feng's envoy. "For so many years, you have been following Senior Flame Demon's last wish to guard again. It has been hard on you.
"Many thanks, Master!" Qing Feng was extremely excited. "It is Qing Feng's fortune to be able to wait for such a talented new master! I will send Master out now. After Master leaves this place, if you reach the Martial King level, you can return to the transportation array directly. I will automatically bring Master back. At that time, Master will truly control the Gu Mansion and obtain the many treasures of the Gu Mansion! "
"Good." Gu Xuan nodded. After cultivating for more than twenty days, he was already close to reaching the peak of Five-Star Venerate. Breaking through to the Martial King level was not that far away.
"Oh, right. When will the Gu Mansion close this time? We won't have to wait too long, right? "Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked in a stunned manner.
Envoy Qing Feng showed a puzzled expression. "The Gu Mansion's test will end in two months. I will just send Master out directly."
