183 The Descendant of a Martial Emperor
“He Qingng… It sounds like a na an Immortal would have. What a good na,”
Liu Yuan complinted her out of habit before smiling. “My na is more vulgar. I’m Liu Yuan, also known as Junxuan.”
His real na was indeed very common. After all, his family was not a family of scholars, so he could not co up with any elegant na. He simply hoped for a bright future.
… He was probably considered quite ambitious now.
He then introduced the little foxes and Zhiying behind him. In the end, he did not forget to introduce the demon dragon to her in a very solemn and serious manner amidst Chuichui’s constant ow-ing protests.
Chuichui was extrely concerned about her dignity as a Scarlet Mist Flowing Scaled Wrym.
However, introducing Chuichui like this in her cat form was very suspicious.
He Qingng watched as the round orange cat arrogantly ordered Liu Yuan around. The latter even seriously described the cat as a fierce demon beast, as if he were particularly doting on the cat, until the cat revealed a satisfied expression.
She covered her mouth and curved her beautiful eyes. She felt that her savior was a child-like person, full of fun, and the cat was also particularly intelligent.
He Qingng blushed at the thought of his praise, and she said shyly, “My father was a businessman. Later, by chance, he learned the teachings of an expert and studied so scriptures and classics. He was especially fond of the way of Immortal cultivation, so he gave this na. He also made so pills at ho, but most of them were useless. I didn’t expect that I would benefit from this misfortune and be able to see a real Immortal.”
Her gaze would occasionally fall on the Su Sisters’ ears and tails, but she probably treated the two little foxes as Liu Yuan’s pets, so she did not show the fear that ordinary humans had towards the demon race.
Although their spiritual power had been sealed, in the minds of mortals, only Immortals were able to control the demon race.
Not to ntion that Zhiying’s shocking combat power was not sothing that mortals could have.
Liu Yuan asked for more information and learned that she was born in a wealthy rchant family in Central Plains. The family’s business was one of the best among mortals. They ran a joint organization called the fair mountain Chamber of Comrce and often ca into contact with lower-level Immortal cultivators. They would also hire them to escort so valuable goods.
However, even if he had managed to hire so of the cultivators he had contacted to act as He Qingng’s bodyguards, they would still be defenseless in front of the people from Bi Luo Mansion. Furthermore, there were no guards around her at the ti of the incident.
She had not even t him and she had been kidnapped.
He reckoned that He Qingng’s father was still begging people to find his daughter. Perhaps so kind Immortal cultivators would tell him not to waste his efforts, as she was from the Bi Luo Mansion.
Or perhaps he would continue searching until he gave up.
Mortals were just so helpless in front of cultivators.
In the letter that Liu Yuan had received, it was written that the people from Bi Luo Mansion had kidnapped the Martial Emperor’s descendant and then ca to the Martial Emperor Tomb in search of the Martial Emperor’s inheritance.
Since He Qingng had indeed been kidnapped by the people of Bi Luo Mansion, it ant that she was a descendant of a Martial Emperor.
Even though she did not know what a Martial Emperor was, she only knew from the people who kidnapped her.
It was a sad story. A thousand years ago, the Martial Emperor He Junhao, who had sanctified his mortal body, not only had his descendants beco mortals, but there was also no trace of martial arts. Instead, they went into business.
Thinking about it, it made sense. His inheritance was in his own tomb, and it was extrely difficult for him to find a suitable successor for his martial arts. Other than the lady boss, even Liu Yuan could not think of anyone.
“They said they wanted to use your blood to open the door of inheritance?” Liu Yuan was a little surprised by He Qingng’s words. “It seems like they already know that the bloodline of the Martial Emperor’s descendant is the key to opening the Secret Realm.”
However, even though they knew these clues, they still underestimated the danger of the Martial Emperor’s Tomb.
They had lost more than half of their n on the way, and the casualties in the puppet formation were even more severe. Only the two leaders and He Qingng had found another exit and entered this place.
In the Secret Realm on this Island, the two of them and He Qingng were ambushed by many puppets. However, the two leaders had high cultivation, so they could deal with them at first.
However, the scariest thing was that they encountered so monsters that were still alive, with only half of their bodies and bones left.
Under the claws of these undead creatures, the two leaders had a hard ti dealing with them. He Qingng had taken the opportunity to escape, but she had encountered the giant spider puppet in the area of the palace, and had been saved by Liu Yuan and the others.
“Zombies? Undead? Resident Evil?”
Liu Yuan made a few wild guesses in his heart. Could this island be the Martial Emperor’s secret human experint base?
Actually, there was a very high possibility of this…
If he thought about it carefully, in this world where cultivators were rampant, He Junhao was the only person in history who could use his physical strength to the extre as an ordinary person. He must have been looking for a breakthrough.
Or perhaps, he wanted to seek a path for those mortals who did not have the talent for cultivation to rise to the top.
In Liu Yuan’s understanding, since the Immortal cultivation spells and techniques did not work, there was only one way left, which was to transform the human body through the scientific and physical thods!
In addition to that, there was also a person who was well-versed in puppet creation and had a deep understanding of the human body. Furthermore, the final product was Hong Luan, who was basically no different from a human. If these two people were pursuing such a thing, it would not be strange at all.
And the cause of his and his wife’s death, could it be because of this?
“Ahem, ahem…” Liu Yuan coughed dryly and put away his imagination. He asked Hong Luan to treat He Qingng’s injuries. Although he didn’t have any dicinal pills that targeted internal injuries, external injuries could still be effectively treated. “Where did the people of Bi Luo Mansion encounter those monsters? Do you still rember?”
He guessed that if it had not been for his group’s interference, He Qingng would probably have died here and beco the background of the Martial Emperor’s Tomb instance dungeon. That was why she did not appear in the subsequent plot.
However, there was another possibility. She might have been trapped in this Secret Realm and obtained the true Martial Emperor’s inheritance, but she had been in seclusion.
The players fought in the tomb, but they only managed to obtain the fake cultivation technique inheritance from the Body Demon.
The n from Bi Luo Mansion had co in from the Body Demon’s side, which was how Liu Yuan found out about the secret door.
However, Liu Yuan felt that the bronze cauldron he had seen in the secret room was the most official entrance. After all, the white stone tablet was the first thing he saw. It looked like a boundary stone or a coordinate.
It also seed to have a strong connection with the Nine Cauldrons.
The other entrances seed to be where the two little foxes and others ca in from. They should be relatively remote places, but he didn’t know if there was any difference.
“I walked out from the thicket over there. Along the way, there were traces of running and falling. We should be able to find it if we follow the trail.” He Qingng recalled.
