383: A mysterious old man appeared

Two hours later.

"Alright, we've basically finished exploring the surrounding halls."

"Su Yun, you're amazing!

You even found the Heaven And Earth Treasures hidden so deep.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't have found a single one.

Who would have thought they'd be hidden in those places.

These Shadow Demons are really good at hiding things!"

"You get used to it after seeing it enough.

Many Opportunities are hidden in places like these."

Su Yun smiled faintly as he picked up the several Heaven And Earth Treasures he had just found and put them into his Storage Ring.

He had spent a lot of time just now finding many Heaven And Earth Treasures in the various halls of this area.

Although they were much inferior to the Heaven And Earth Treasures in the inner layer of the Shadow Demon Clan Treasury, they were still extremely precious.

How did he find them?

It was simple: he searched based on his previous experience of plundering Opportunities.

Many Heaven And Earth Treasures were hidden in places that were very conspicuous yet easily overlooked.

Following this pattern...

...he really did harvest quite a few Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Leng Xirou's red lips moved slightly as she continued,

"Then Su Yun, should we go take a look at the hall in the center of this area, or just leave directly?

According to what you said before, the hall in the middle seems suspicious. It would be troublesome if it's a trap."

"Let's go take a look inside that hall!

There might actually be a Legacy inside.

Don't worry, Xi Rou, I'll be prepared."

"That's good. If things don't look right, I'll use a Fox Clan Secret Technique to temporarily boost your strength!"

Leng Xirou's beautiful eyes flickered as she clenched her jade-like hands and spoke with a firm tone.

She was currently inside the space of the fox heart imprint on the back of Su Yun's hand, and with her Realm already at the Soul Emergence Realm, she had many Fox Clan Secret Techniques at her disposal.

All of these Fox Clan Secret Techniques could temporarily increase Su Yun's strength significantly, giving them a better chance of winning even if they encountered danger.

"Alright, Xi Rou, I'll be counting on you then."

Su Yun said softly.

Immediately after, he rushed toward the hall in the very center of this area, making all sorts of preparations for danger along the way.

Soon, Su Yun arrived outside the gates of the central hall and carefully observed its condition.

The hall was continuously releasing powerful Law energy into the air, with endless Devilish Qi surrounding it, making it look exactly like a place where an ancient Legacy or treasure was about to emerge.

He approached the hall gates and with a casual wave of his hand, opened them without meeting any resistance.

The moment the gates opened, a powerful aura gushed out from within the hall, followed by a release of dazzling, misty spiritual light that shone outwards, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.

This area of the hall became incredibly bright, just like daytime.

Heart-palpitating Devilish Qi also emanated from within.

It took several breaths for the various phenomena to vanish.

"This is...?"

Su Yun stepped into the hall.

What met his eyes were various precious Heaven And Earth Treasures, and in the very center, a black statue dozens of feet tall.

From the unique patterns carved on the statue and the scales covering its body, it was clear that this was a statue of a Shadow Demon.

As Su Yun entered the hall...

...countless illusory chains faintly flickered across the statue.

Seeming to sense someone's entry, the illusory chains suddenly flashed with black spiritual light, and then an aged voice echoed through the hall.

"It's... it's been tens of thousands of years. Finally, someone has entered this place.

I can finally be free!"

A phantom suddenly appeared above the statue; it was the phantom of a Gray-robed Old Man of the Human Race.

The Gray-robed Old Man had a kind and benevolent appearance, seemingly not a wicked person, causing one to involuntarily lower their guard upon seeing him.

Furthermore, the Gray-robed Old Man's figure was very illusory and appeared extremely weak, as if he were about to vanish.

"Who are you?"

Su Yun looked at the suddenly appearing Gray-robed Old Man with some doubt.

At the same time, he began to check the Gray-robed Old Man's life script.

"I am...?"

"It's been too long; I've already forgotten who I am!

I only remember that tens of thousands of years ago, I participated in the battle to suppress the Shadow Demon Clan along with other Human Race powerhouses.

Back then, we exhausted all our efforts, so many Human Race powerhouses, just to eliminate the Shadow Demon Clan.

Just as we were about to celebrate, the Shadow Demon Clan's Mahayana Realm ancestor suddenly revived, and his strength was terrifyingly powerful.

The Human Race powerhouses who came with me to suppress the Shadow Demon Clan all fell in battle, but they created an Opportunity for me to use a secret technique to sacrifice my own life and turn it into an ancient Formation, which successfully suppressed that Ancestor Ying Mo."

"Senior is truly righteous, to have actually suppressed Ancestor Ying Mo at the cost of your own life.

If it weren't for Senior, our Human Race would likely have suffered a great catastrophe long ago!"

Su Yun's lips twitched as he spoke in a peculiar tone.

If he hadn't been able to see the life script, he might have actually believed it.

The life script displayed the words 'Ancestor Ying Mo's remnant soul', and his Realm was still Mahayana.

This Ancestor Ying Mo was quite a smooth actor.

This tone of his made it sound so real.

Suppressing himself?

If he hadn't held it in, he would probably have burst out laughing by now.

However, as he expected, this hall was indeed a trap.

Now that Ancestor Ying Mo had started pretending to be a member of the Human Race, he didn't even need to think to know what would happen next.

But he was already prepared and quietly watched Ancestor Ying Mo's performance.

"It's not that exaggerated; I only did what a Human Race Cultivator ought to do."

The Gray-robed Old Man spoke directly in a resonant voice, his gaze looking firmly into the distance.

"Then, Senior, did you suddenly appear because you have some instructions?

If it's something I can do, I will certainly do my utmost to complete it!"

Su Yun pretended to believe him, his face full of admiration as he cupped his hands and spoke in a powerful, resounding voice.

"Little friend, I see that your Physique is excellent; you are a good candidate for Immortal Ascension.

I have no regrets about suppressing Ancestor Ying Mo, but this remnant soul of mine can no longer hold on for much longer and is about to dissipate.

My only regret is that I cannot pass on my Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques.

Now that you've come, little friend, I've finally found a good candidate to pass my Cultivation Techniques to. I wonder if you are willing to accept my Legacy?"

A glint flashed in the Gray-robed Old Man's eyes as he looked at Su Yun with an expectant expression, appearing as though he truly wanted to pass on his life's work.

At this moment, his heart was also filled with anticipation.

After waiting for a full three hours, this Human brat was finally tricked into coming in.

Jie jie jie!

He had wasted so much Divine Soul power during these three hours.

That Divine Soul power would have been enough for him to recover a significant amount of strength.

So, he still felt a bit of a sting from the loss.

He had already secretly made up his mind that once he successfully completed the Possession, he would definitely torment this Human brat's Divine Soul.

He would let this Human brat know the power of Ancestor Ying Mo!
