Inheriting the Estate

A few days later, Xia Ping and Jiang Yaru left Treasure Island aboard the Moon Goddess and returned to Giant Island.

The ship didn't have enough energy to initiate a spatial jump, so he had no choice but to fly at a slower speed. Nothing happened along the way, and they arrived safely in waters under human control.

But as soon as he stepped off the ship at Giant Island's airport and parked it, a crowd immediately surrounded him.

Xia Ping looked around. Among them were four or five kings from Giant Corporation, a large number of grandmasters, and even people from the Huo Family. They had all come to see him.

Over the past few days, word had spread everywhere that the Five Great Demon Kings and the human king Huo Yongming had perished together on Treasure Island. Countless people had heard the news, and it had shocked the human leadership.

They wanted to learn the truth immediately. After all, a Demon King had fallen—and at human hands. In the Cloud Sky Realm, that was a momentous event.

For the Huo Family, it was even more devastating. Their family's ancestor was dead, and their pillar had fallen. They simply couldn't accept it, so they had all come to demand an explanation.

"Xia Ping!"

An elder of the Huo Family immediately roared at him, "What exactly happened? Why did our ancestor die on Treasure Island and perish alongside the Five Great Demon Kings? Did you do something behind the scenes? Confess everything at once!"

He demanded furiously.

He would never believe the version of events in the rumors. He knew what kind of person their ancestor was. He was certainly no selfless martyr. If he could save his own life, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice anyone, even his own family.
