384: I have a question, but I don't know...

Seeing this, Ancestor Ying Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Had he been exposed?

That was unlikely!

Generally speaking, it should be impossible for his disguise to be seen through.

One must remember that he was once a Shadow Demon of the Mahayana Realm. Even if only a remnant soul remained and his strength was far below what it used to be, his disguise was not something a black-clad kid in the Body Dao Integration Realm could see through.

Where exactly did the problem lie?

Could it be that there was something wrong with what he just said, causing this black-clad kid to have doubts?

But that was also impossible!

Except for the final part about suppressing himself being false, everything else he said was true.

The Gray-robed Old Man he had disguised himself as was also a Mahayana Realm Human Race Cultivator he had killed in the past.

Ancestor Ying Mo hurriedly spoke again:

"Little friend, do you have some doubts?"

"You can speak freely."

"Furthermore, the Cultivation Technique I plan to teach you is an Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique. Accepting my Legacy will not disappoint you."

"With your Aptitude, you will be able to become an Immortal sooner or later."

"I ask for nothing else, only that someone can inherit the Cultivation Technique I practiced."

"Senior, I have a question, and I wonder if I should ask it."

Su Yun rubbed his nose, speaking with what seemed like a bit of embarrassment.

"Oh? Little friend, feel free to ask!"

"If this old man knows, I will certainly tell you."

Ancestor Ying Mo said in a gentle voice.

As long as it wasn't a refusal, it was fine. He wanted to wait until Su Yun came before the Shadow Demon Statue to perform the Possession.

Direct Possession was also possible; as long as he entered this hall, it was his territory, and a mere Body Dao Integration Realm Cultivator could not escape his palm.

But doing so would consume a significant amount of Divine Soul power.

After all, he should have died long ago; it was only through a secret technique and the Shadow Demon Statue that he had preserved this remnant soul.

The Shadow Demon Statue he was currently possessing was made of special Artifact Refining Materials that could nourish the Divine Soul and prevent its power from dissipating.

Therefore, as soon as he left the Shadow Demon Statue, his Divine Soul power would be greatly consumed, and the further he was from the statue, the more power would be lost.

If he hadn't created the phenomena around the hall earlier, he might have considered direct Possession.

But now, he had given up on that.

It was simply to save some of the Divine Soul power he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

At this moment, Su Yun paused and said directly:

"Senior, you said this is the hall where Ancestor Ying Mo is suppressed, but why are there so many Heaven And Earth Treasures placed on the shelves in this hall?"

"It doesn't look like a hall for suppressing Ancestor Ying Mo; it looks more like a treasure vault."

"Could it be that after you suppressed Ancestor Ying Mo, you specifically tidied up the hall?"

"Uh..."

"It's... it's like this."

"These are some Heaven And Earth Treasures this old man collected in the past. I put them out because suppressing Ancestor Ying Mo requires too much spiritual energy."

"That's why I put those Heaven And Earth Treasures out in advance, so they can be refined in time to reinforce the Seal at any moment."

Ancestor Ying Mo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly regained his composure and answered directly.

Why was this kid so troublesome?

What was there to ask about this?

Wasn't it just to lure this kid over?

Otherwise, why would he put so many Heaven And Earth Treasures on the shelves near the hall entrance?

If the kid saw there was nothing in the hall, what if he ran away?

But thinking about it now, it was indeed somewhat illogical and inconsistent with what he had just said. Had he known, he wouldn't have put those treasures out; he almost let this kid see a flaw.

Dammit, why doesn't this kid follow the script? When others see a Legacy, who wouldn't rush over happily to accept it? You, on the other hand, just keep asking questions.

"So that's how it is. I understand."

Su Yun nodded, as if suddenly realizing.

"Then, little friend, have you decided?"

Ancestor Ying Mo rubbed his hands excitedly; if there were no more problems, it was time to move on with the process.

He could not wait to possess him and then teach this kid a harsh lesson.

"I... wait, I still have a question!"

A trace of doubt appeared on Su Yun's face again.

"Then I... no, little friend, what other questions do you have?"

Ancestor Ying Mo looked frustrated, the words he wanted to say getting stuck in his throat.

What was this kid doing?

Another question?

Why so many questions!

I—

At this moment, inside the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Pearl, Leng Xirou couldn't help but cover her red lips with her jade-like hand, almost laughing out loud.

When she had learned from Su Yun that the Gray-robed Old Man before them was Ancestor Ying Mo, she had been extremely worried.

After all, even the remnant soul of a Mahayana Realm Shadow Demon Ancestor was still at the Mahayana Realm.

She had almost performed a Fox Clan Secret Technique to help Su Yun escape.

But under Su Yun's persuasion, she had stopped the technique.

When she saw Su Yun conversing with Ancestor Ying Mo with superb acting skills, she felt relieved.

Su Yun would definitely only do this if he was certain of success.

As expected of Su Yun, even when facing Ancestor Ying Mo, he could remain unperturbed and calmly act out his part.

It truly made her admire him immensely.

As expected of the person who had utterly defeated her; he was truly formidable.

Su Yun gave a faint smile and continued:

"Senior, what you said just now doesn't seem quite right."

"You said that after tens of thousands of years, someone has finally come, but these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins have been opened many times."

"Many people have also entered the deeper areas of these Shadow Demon Ruins."

"I've even heard that some Demon Sects have obtained Shadow Demon Clan legacies nearby."

"There are still traces left behind by those Demon Sect Cultivators around here."

"Senior, have you never seen the people who came before?"

"Isn't this a bit contradictory?"

"This... *cough cough*."

"Presumably, when the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins were open before, this old man had consumed too much energy and happened to fall into a deep sleep."

"Because I have to suppress Ancestor Ying Mo, this old man falls into a deep sleep every once in a while."

"Perhaps it was for this reason that I didn't see the other Cultivators who came in."

Ancestor Ying Mo's smile stiffened, and suppressing the anger in his heart, he answered in a gentle tone.

Dammit!

Those words earlier were just something he had made up on the fly.

Why did this kid have so many questions?

Could he be doing it on purpose?

Had this kid recognized his identity?

Impossible!

It was likely that this kid just had this kind of suspicious personality.

"Little friend, do you have any more questions?"

"If you do, feel free to ask!"

Ancestor Ying Mo steadied himself and spoke with a face full of smiles again.

"Oh, no more, I have no more doubts."

"Thank you, Senior, for clarifying."

Su Yun cupped his hands, the look of doubt on his face dissipating.

"Then, little friend, are you willing to accept my Legacy?"

Ancestor Ying Mo's voice trembled slightly as he continued.

Finally... finally he could perform the Possession.

From the moment he discovered this kid, he had waited for several hours, and the opportunity for Possession had finally arrived!

He had to admit, this kid was truly difficult to deal with!

Immediately, he looked at Su Yun, only to find that Su Yun had turned around directly.
