Bang!
The sound of fight from behind could be heard. Right afterwards, large volume of water spurted out from the lake as if it was a fountain. Three battered Foundation Establishment people were shot out in very unpleasant manner.
*cough* *cough*
"What in the world is that ugly thing? I can't believe that in the place where we're supposed to find Emperor Inheritance there's that ugly monster?!"
The woman's curse spread further in the quiet area. There was no sign of beasts nearby and only her scream along with the other two's displeased expression were left. They all stared at the lake, fearing that the beast they saw would follow them out.
"I'm going."
The one sentence that uttered calmly shocked the other two. The woman and Liu Gang were looking towards the third person with confusion."What are you talking about?"
"You want to give up after reaching this far?"
The man didn't immediately answer. His tranquil expression didn't leak out anything. However, it was clear that he was staring at the lake."Only those with the Emperor's bloodline can ever hope to gain the inheritance."
It was not a secret. Everyone knew this. There were several emperors in the entire land but each of them governed different areas. At the same time, there were also several Emperor's Inheritance and only those who possessed the Emperor's lineage could ever hope to get it.
Those who wished to snatch the inheritance from other people would only be a joke!
The woman's face turned awful."What? You actually believe that superstition? You will never know whether you can get the inheritance or not before you try it."
"And beat that monster?"
Liu Gang opened his mouth and wanted to speak again, but even his expression turned worse. Based on what he had seen, the monster could only be beaten if they had reached Golden Core Stage or even above it. As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would be seeking death if they tried to get close to the monster.
"You...."
"I'm leaving." This time the tone was firmer than before. The woman and Liu Gang were unable to say anything else when they saw the back figure of the third person. They looked at each other.
"Do you want to leave too?"
"Are you kidding?" the woman scoffed. She looked at the lake as greed appeared from within her eyes. After all, she wanted to get the inheritance no matter what, but how in the world could she get the Emperor's Bloodline?
Changing someone's bloodline was not impossible, but it was forbidden. Not to mention, the art was deeply guarded since no one wished for their powerful bloodline to be stolen by other people.
Those who were found to be learning this wicked secret art would be admonished and chased to be killed.
Liu Gang shook his head."Finish the examination first. We'll report to our respective sect afterwards."
"Fine."
Even though she was unwilling, the woman knew that with her current strength, it was impossible to enter the cave. Unless she wished to dig an early grave for herself, she shall not come to the lake ever again.
...
Splash!
While the three of them have their own dispute, Wenren Yu and Lin Xiao swiftly returned back in their old home. They crossed the river and could see the village from a distance away.
"Do you think we're already save now?"
"Are those three disciples still waiting near the river?" Wenren Yu asked.
Lin Xiao was stumped. He had completely forgotten about those three. If not for Wenren Yu reminding him, he might not even be able to recall their existences anymore. Scratching the back of his head, he smiled sheepishly.
"I don't know."
"There didn't seem to be anyone."
Wenren Yu has higher rank compared to Lin Xiao, so he could sense that there were no one near them faster than Lin Xiao. But when it came to traveling in the forest, it was clear that Lin Xiao would surely outdo him.
As someone who was very familiar with this area, Lin Xiao knew everything like the back of his hand.
"In that case, we should return back. Yun must have been very worried." Lin Xiao recalled his younger brother and felt a bit bad for forgetting to tell the other party about his delayed return.
"Are you sure he's worried?"
"Yes?"
"Didn't you always leave him in the house every day?"
Lin Xiao: "..." well, that's true.
Now, Lin Xiao felt a bit lost. He always travelled here and there without bringing his younger brother along because it was too dangerous. But Lin Yun had already reached Body Training Rank 5 not long ago, so it would be weird if he didn't bring his younger brother along with him.
Probably Lin Yun might even reach Body Training Rank 6 soon.
Wenren Yu studied Lin Xiao's expression as they traveled in the forest. He could see that the person before him was contemplating."Are you jealous of your brother?"
"Jealous? Why should I jealous?" Lin Xiao asked in confused tone.
"Because he can advance through easier method than you."
"Easier?" Lin Xiao shook his head."You're wrong. Lin Yun has sickly body and have to consume a lot of medicine since you. The pain from medicine shouldn't be any worse from the pain from training. Why should I be jealous of him? He's my brother and naturally I'll be happy if my brother is an accomplished person."
Hearing that, Wenren Yu was stumped. Seeing Lin Xiao pure expression, he had the feeling that Lin Xiao was a very simple person. He was good to those whom he considered to be his people and ruthless to his enemies.
Recalling how he himself often felt jealous of his senior, Wenren Yu felt a bit ashamed. He was older than Lin Xiao, but he felt that Lin Xiao's worldview was more easygoing than him.
The two of them arrived near the house. Upon seeing the footsteps and also the opened door, Lin Xiao's face changed.
"Something is wrong."
Bang!
