89: The four Night Owls emerge from the legacy

"Little girl, don't try to argue. Our imperial family disciples from both dynasties personally saw you enter the azure emperor inheritance alone. How could you not have received the inheritance?"

"That's right, little girl. If you think this can calm things down, then you're too naive."

The Ancestors of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty glared at Dugu Nianyu upon hearing this.

Zhao Fei and Nie Yu had personally seen Dugu Nianyu be the first to enter the azure emperor inheritance.

Now Dugu Nianyu was saying she didn't receive the inheritance. Wasn't this insulting the intelligence of two people who had lived for over ten thousand years?

"Nianyu, what exactly happened?" Old Ghost Dugu turned his head and asked, puzzled.

He had watched Dugu Nianyu grow up since she was a child and knew her character thoroughly. She wouldn't speak nonsense at such a critical moment without understanding the gravity of the situation.

"Ancestor...!"

Dugu Nianyu paused, then recounted everything that happened in the Inheritance Hall in front of everyone.

Only this way could she make the two Ancestors of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty believe her.

"What?"

After listening, Old Ghost Dugu pointed at Dugu Nianyu, his expression one of bitter disappointment. "You, oh, you. What am I to say about you?"

Old Ghost Dugu was now both angry and resentful.

He was angry that Dugu Nianyu, at such a time, couldn't discern the situation. How could she dare to harbor thoughts of monopolizing the inheritance when she was at an absolute disadvantage?

If she had understood how to assess the situation and been a bit more generous, The Four Night Owls wouldn't have been so ruthless.

And what he resented was Qing Yunzi, who had promised to pass on the inheritance to Dugu Nianyu but then changed his mind at the last minute. He was truly despicable.

Of course, the only ones he didn't blame were The Four Night Owls.

In that situation, the four of them didn't harm Dugu Nianyu, which was already considered benevolent and chivalrous.

"Ancestor, I..."

Dugu Nianyu lowered her head in shame, knowing she had made a mistake in this matter.

"Haha, good, good, good, Old Ghost Dugu, since the inheritance wasn't seized by your Xuan Yue Dynasty, it has nothing to do with you. Don't try to stop us from snatching the inheritance."

"Wonderful, little girl. If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have been at daggers drawn with Old Ghost Dugu."

The two Ancestors of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty had smiles plastered on their faces.

Since Dugu Nianyu hadn't obtained the azure emperor inheritance, Old Ghost Dugu had no reason to prevent them from seizing the treasures of the azure emperor inheritance.

After all, The Four Night Owls were no longer associated with Dugu Nianyu, so the inheritance could now be considered ownerless.

The Half-step Quasi-Emperor of Wushuang Sect also wore a smile beside them.

The situation was increasingly developing in his favor.

The Four Night Owls had turned the tables, seizing Dugu Nianyu's inheritance, so the Xuan Yue Dynasty had no reason to protect them.

Killing the four to clear Wushuang Sect's name would soon be accomplished.

"Ancestor, what should we do?"

Seeing that after she revealed the truth, all three Half-step Quasi-Emperors were staring at the inheritance exit.

Dugu Nianyu quietly asked Old Ghost Dugu.

"What should we do?"

Old Ghost Dugu showed a cunning smile and transmitted his voice to Dugu Nianyu, "The treasures of the azure emperor inheritance, our Xuan Yue Dynasty absolutely cannot give up."

"Since those four little fellows are within the Xuan Yue Dynasty's territory, I, your Ancestor, still have reason to protect them. Once they come out, you take them and run towards the Xuan Yue Dynasty. I've already informed the Quasi-Emperor Ancestor; as long as you meet up with him, you'll be safe."

He still quite admired The Four Night Owls.

After all, in the deceptive cultivation world, there weren't many cultivators who could still maintain their principles, and he didn't plan to use force against them.

Of course, the biggest reason was that he didn't want the treasures of the azure emperor inheritance to fall into the hands of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty.

As long as there was a reason to prevent the two great dynasties from obtaining the treasures, he would go all out.

As for the treasures on The Four Night Owls, after saving them, he could slowly negotiate for them.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Dugu Nianyu replied happily after hearing Old Ghost Dugu's words.

She had just clarified that she hadn't received the inheritance because she didn't want her own Half-step Quasi-Emperor Ancestor to blame her afterward.

Even though she was the current Emperor's biological daughter, if her deliberate concealment caused harm to the Half-step Quasi-Emperor Ancestor, even her imperial father couldn't protect her.

Now that the Ancestor was actively protecting The Four Night Owls, she bore no responsibility, and it could be considered making amends for the wrongs she had done to The Four Night Owls.

Under the watchful eyes of four Half-step Quasi-Emperors and thousands of Peak Earth Venerables.

Cultivators who had entered the inheritance emerged one by one from the exit.

Seeing so many eyes staring at them, they were all startled, thinking they had come out too late and incurred public wrath.

When they rejoined their respective forces and inquired, they learned that this grand display was actually for The Four Night Owls.

So everyone discussed with schadenfreude.

"Hehe, these four killing gods have dug their own graves. They've even offended the Xuan Yue Dynasty. Who will protect them now?"

"That's right, without the Xuan Yue Dynasty protecting them, they're definitely dead ends."

"Wuwu, Xiao Hei, my good brother, someone is avenging you. Rest in peace."

"Wuwuwu, Dalang, you also rest in peace. They'll be down to accompany you soon."

Some male and female cultivators in the crowd became so emotional while speaking that they started crying.

Among the cultivators killed by The Four Night Owls were their beloved friends and family.

Now that several major forces were waiting for The Four Night Owls to emerge, they definitely had no chance of survival, so they offered prayers in advance so that their beloved friends and family could rest in peace.

Soon, to everyone's anticipation, The Four Night Owls did not disappoint and walked out of the inheritance.

Before they could even clearly see the situation, several voices rang out in their ears.

"Ancestor, it's these four people!"

"That's right, Ancestor, quickly take them down!"

Zhao Fei and Nie Yu immediately pointed them out excitedly upon seeing The Four Night Owls.

And beside the Wushuang Sect Ancestor, a newly emerged disciple also pointed at The Four Night Owls and said,

"Ancestor, these four guys killed Senior Brother Luo, and more than a hundred disciples, including Senior Brother Bai, were also killed by them."

They had originally been searching for treasures separately in the azure emperor inheritance, but who knew that Senior Brother Bai's team had all lost contact.

Finally, after inquiring, they learned it was the work of The Four Night Owls. At first, they didn't believe the news.

After all, four people taking down over a hundred Peak Earth Venerables sounded somewhat fantastical.

But as news spread from the fleeing cultivators of the two great dynasties, they realized how fierce The Four Night Owls were and finally believed the truth.

"What! Over a hundred more disciples died in their hands?"

The Wushuang Sect Ancestor's expression was furious upon hearing this news.

He had thought only one disciple had died at the hands of The Four Night Owls, but now it was over a hundred.

Wushuang Sect couldn't compare to the Three Great Dynasties; they only had a total of over four hundred Peak Earth Venerable disciples. A quarter of them had died in one go. How could he remain calm?

If it weren't for the presence of the Three Great Dynasties' people, he would have been the first to act, capturing The Four Night Owls, then extracting their souls, refining them, and torturing them to death.
