It was a hypnotic voice that demanded obedience. Jiers eyes flashed oddly and he raised his foot to go toward the palace, but as he did Feng Wu grabbed his hand.
She didnt know why she did, but her intuition told her that if she didnt then Jier would be in danger.
Her tug imdiately brought him back to his senses. He shook his head, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Damn! He nearly fell for it.
He was an heir to the gods, but he nearly fell victim to so guys voice. That he had to be saved by Feng Wu made him feel even worse. Hed wanted to protect Feng Wu, but she was the one saving him! So sour!
Who are you? Ming Xis eyes were clear and his face was calm. Like Feng Wu, he hadnt been affected by the voice.
An ancient god, the God Calven, was the persuasive reply.
No youre not. A god wouldnt use this kind of trickery, only demons would. Ming Xis voice was confident.
Jier and Feng Wu werent surprised at Ming Xis words.
Regarding Feng Wu, she didnt care about gods or demons, so she didnt think much about the declaration.
Regarding Jier, because his body was lded with a god, he was sensitive to auras from the higher realms. He sensed demon aura before the door had even disappeared behind them. In fact the aura he sensed was that of a high-ranking demon.
He was still learning how to use the Sumr seal he inherited, so he knew he wouldnt have the strength to challenge such a high-ranking demon.
As for Ming Xi, Jier had so guesses about his how strong he was. He could probably challenge an upper-level demon, but the tomb would definitely limit his abilities, so he wouldnt be fighting at full strength. It would be a difficult battle.
Wow. Hahaha! Imagine that. Soone was able to guess my identity so quickly. Pity you guessed it only after arriving here. Do you think you can leave now that youve reached this floor? Really nave. So stupid.
The voice that claid to be God Calven changed from one full of divine aura to one reeking of demon aura.
Really was a demon, whispered Ming Xi softly.
Didnt you already guess? The voice sounded a little doubtful.
I had lots of guesses. The one I said just now was the most probable one. Earlier, Ming Xi had only been sounding the other party out.
Didnt expect this so-called god to confess so quickly.
Ming Xi hadnt been sure if the other party was a demon. The strange situation left him with two guesses.
One: the master of the tomb had been a god and that the spirit he left behind gradually beca corrupted from spending so long in the battlegrounds.
Or two: there was never a God Calven. The tomb was just a trap set up by a demon to lure magicians and sword masters. It wasnt impossible.
With everything just revealed, his second guess had to be correct. This guy had to be one of the demons that survived the ancient war. But he was injured, so injured that he had to sleep for tens of thousands of years. The opening of the tomb must have awakened him.
Ming Xi figured out all that, but he couldnt figure out the demons location.
Vile things! You dare play this Great One for a fool?! The angry voice was filled with killing intent, but within a few short breaths it returned to normal. Whatever. Let tell you, you little rascals, as long as this Great One here remains alive, none of you are leaving! So co on. Stop making this Great One wait. Hahaha!
He cackled madly and soon after his voice disappeared.
What should we do? Jier asked again looking at Ming Xi. It was only at a ti like this that he recognized Ming Xi as a senior.
He wants us to go in, so lets go in. Ming Xis smile was like a spring blossom.
Feng Wu looked at Ming Xis smile and once again thought how much he looked like Master. And Master said she should find soone like him to marry, so therefore, being obedient, she had to marry Ming Xi!
Master would definitely praise her if he saw Ming Xi. The thought put her in a good mood and her eyes curved up in a smile. She wasnt troubled by the dangerous situation they were in the least.
The three of them walked in with Feng Wu in the middle.
The palace was huge and entirely colored red.
An old man they had never seen before stood in the center of the hall in front of an inheritance crystal. The guys who entered before them were standing in front of him.
An inheritance crystal was a common way to pass on an inheritance. It was a one-ti consumable thod that only worked for one person. The crystal disappeared once its internal energy was spent. An inheritance crystal wasnt the only way to pass on an inheritance though.
An inheritance could also be passed on through the bloodline or through written ans. A bloodline inheritance triggered when a persons bloodline awoke. Written transmission was recorded in the form of words and pictures on a magic scroll. The magic in the scroll could preserve it for tens of thousands of years.
Clans and major colleges used the last thod, only those who chose a solitary path would use an inheritance crystal.
The seven people stared intently at the crystal in front of the old man. The gods inheritance was in front of them. They could also one day be gods if they could get the inheritance.
