Chapter 118: Chapter 109: Kowtow to
"Nie Yun, why don’t you take all these things? We can’t carry them anyway. We can sort them out for safekeeping once we’re back in Luoshui City!"
Luoo Zhanhao walked over, smiling as he gestured around the room.
Everyone had long seen Nie Yun as their leader, so no one had an issue with him taking everything! After all, items like cultivation techniques and weapons couldn’t be mastered or refined overnight, even if they had them in hand. It was better to wait until they returned to Luoshui City to study them carefully!
"Alright," Nie Yun agreed. He knew that none of the others had unlocked a Storage Dantian, so he didn’t refuse. With a chuckle, he walked around the hall, collecting every valuable item in sight into his Dantian.
In truth, while these items were incredibly precious to others, they were nothing special to Nie Yun, who had lived two lives. He had no intention of embezzling them.
"My descendants, it seems you have collected all the treasures I left behind. I hope you will make good use of these things, bring glory to our family, and restore the honor of the Luoo Family!"
Just as he finished clearing out all the treasures in the hall, Luoo Qu’s deep, resonant voice echoed through the chamber once more.
"Rest assured, Ancestor Luoo Qu, we will certainly use these treasures well to resist the Demon Race and uphold the na of the Luoo Family!" Even though he knew the voice couldn’t hear him, Luoo Zhanhao couldn’t help but kneel before the stone coffin, his expression solemn as he spoke.
Everyone had noticed the stone coffin as soon as they entered. It stood in the very center and likely contained the body of Luoo Qu. Luoo Qu was Luoo Zhanhao’s ancestor, so no matter what, after taking an ancestor’s belongings, kowtowing was the proper thing to do.
"Worthy of being my descendants. Since you are grateful to , then kowtow ten tis before the coffin!"
Luoo Qu’s voice continued to resonate in the air.
"Er..."
Even though they knew this was just a recording from Luoo Qu that couldn’t possibly know what they were saying, everyone still looked bewildered when the voice didn’t match up with Luoo Zhanhao’s words.
"We’ve taken so many of Ancestor Luoo Qu’s things and disturbed his rest. There’s no harm in kowtowing!"
Seeing everyone’s strange expressions, Nie Yun just smiled, walked up to Luoo Zhanhao, and knelt.
This world placed great importance on bloodline, status, position, and rules. Since they had co to the Luoo Qu Tomb and taken all the treasures and Talismans Luoo Qu had left behind, there was certainly nothing wrong with kowtowing to his remains.
After all, when you really thought about it, they were the ones who had profited imnsely!
"Ancestor, I am your descendant, Luo Qingcheng. I kowtow to you here, and I hope you will bless ..."
Luo Qingcheng also walked over, knelt beside Nie Yun, and glanced at the young man nearby. For so reason, a blush crept onto her face.
"Yeah, we should kowtow too!" Nie Xiaotian was also very respectful of his seniors. Hearing Luoo Qu’s recorded voice tell them to kowtow, he felt no resistance to the idea. He nodded, walked forward, and knelt on the ground.
Yangg Yan and Feng Xiao also knelt, and the group of six knelt together before the stone coffin.
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"
Just as everyone knelt to kowtow, a sharp whistling sound suddenly filled the room. Imdiately after, they felt gusts of wind rush over them as countless sharp Wind Blades swept past just above their heads!
The Wind Blades appeared at a height of just over a ter, passing right over the heads of the kneeling group. Each blade carried the full force of an attack from an Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouse. If they hadn’t knelt, a single one of those blades could have sliced them in two! Not even a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Sect could have survived!
"This..."
Realizing this, sweat imdiately poured from their foreheads. Even Nie Yun’s heart pounded with fear!
"Haha, if you survived, it proves you are truly my descendants, and your respect for
cos from the heart—not that you killed my descendants and used their blood to open the seal!"
Just as their hearts were racing in fear, Luoo Qu’s voice echoed through the air once again.
"How ruthless..."
Hearing this, everyone’s expression turned ugly.
If they had let the treasures go to their heads and simply grabbed the items and left instead of kneeling, it was likely that after that volley of Wind Blades, their survival rate would have been practically zero!
How terrifying!
’Worthy of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse. So ruthless and decisive. Kneel or die. He didn’t care if they were his true descendants or not—if you didn’t show respect, you would die completely!’
"Since you are truly my descendants, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I’ll give you the most important treasure!"
RUMBLE!
As soon as the voice faded, the coffin before them suddenly began to open slowly, and a sharp Treasure Sword gradually rose from within.
’A Treasure Sword? Could what Luo Yu and Luo Ning said about the Seven Swords be true? Does such a thing really exist?’
Seeing the Treasure Sword appear so suddenly, Nie Yun instantly recalled the conversation he had eavesdropped on, and his brow furrowed.
’In my previous life, I never heard of the Seven Swords. I don’t know what they are, but if they could attract the attention of the Divine Wind City’s Luo Family, they must be sothing extraordinary!’
BUZZ!
The Longsword slowly floated up, its cold light glinting. Judging by its sharpness alone, its quality was likely no less than that of a Royal Family’s Top Grade weapon!
A Royal Family’s Top Grade weapon!
No wonder Luoo Qu’s ssage said there was one item here that was worth more than everything else combined. Nie Yun and the others had thought he was referring to the Talismans, but it turned out to be this!
A Royal Family’s Top Grade Treasure Sword could double a person’s strength. If Nie Yun were to refine it, he would stand a fighting chance even against King Ning and King Tong!
"This is called the Phecda Sword. I found it by chance in so ancient ruins. Its quality is no less than Royal Family’s Top Grade, making it incredibly precious. It also seems to be linked to a great secret. Now, I give it to you!"
Luoo Qu’s voice continued.
"As my descendants, you are both brave and clever, and you respect your ancestor. I am very pleased. There is no corpse of mine in this stone coffin. Although this is called the Luoo Qu Tomb, it is not my burial place. After you leave, there is no need to return, and no need to pay respects. I ca from the heavens and the earth, and I shall vanish into the heavens and the earth. Haha!"
The voice, full of unrestrained and heroic spirit, grew louder and louder before fading away completely.
"Ancestor Luoo Qu isn’t buried here?"
Hearing the content of the ssage, Luoo Zhanhao looked disappointed, but after a mont’s thought, realization dawned on him.
’There are so many seals here. The ancestor could naturally enter before he died, but once he was dead, who could have moved his body in here? Besides, even if soone had managed to bring his body in, they probably would have taken all the treasures for themselves. How could they possibly have been left for us?’
’In the end, everything was within Ancestor Luoo Qu’s calculations. Worthy of an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse—even in death, he could make it impossible for people to distinguish truth from fiction!’
"Let’s take this Treasure Sword and go!"
Nie Yun had also co to this conclusion. He shook his head and was about to stand up when he suddenly saw a figure dash out from nearby, snatch the Longsword, and rush outside in a flash!
"Haha, I’ve finally gotten my hands on this Treasure Sword!"
