Conditions

After listening to Xiao Han's explanation, Zhu Kun's expression was complicated, and he gave the former a deep look.

Immediately, his whole body trembled, and the Dragon Emperor's domineering aura was fully revealed. "Boy, I and the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe owe you this favor. This time, I owe you a favor."

However, Zhu Kun quickly changed the subject, "But you should know that I am currently trapped in this Ancient Emperor Cave Abode and cannot get out, so I can't help you much."

At this moment, the Candle Flame, which had been extremely excited, calmed down, looked around, and finally turned its gaze to the few ancient characters deep inside.

He exclaimed in shock, "This... this is the legendary Ancient Emperor Cave Abode?"

There is only one universally acknowledged Ancient Emperor Cave Abode in the Fierce Qi Continent, and that is the cave dwelling left behind by the last Dou Di Tou She Ancient God, ten thousand years ago.

It is said that the secret to Becoming Emperor is hidden within it. Back then, a group of powerful figures fought tooth and nail for this thing, and countless patriarchs and Dou Sheng Expert perished in the process.

In the end, the forces of Central Plains gained nothing from that battle, while the eight Ancient Races only obtained fragments of the keys to enter the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode. As for where the cave was actually located, no one knew.

Thinking of this, the Candle Flame gleamed with fervor. The Ancient Emperor Cave Abode! If only it could be opened...

Zhu Kun only glanced at Candle Flame before he knew what the latter was planning. That was exactly what he had been thinking back then, and now he was kicking himself.

"Don't even think about it. If it weren't for the key to the cave— the Tou She Ancient God Jade —no one could possibly do anything to this cave." As he said this, a look of mixed regret appeared on Zhu Kun's face.

What he regretted was that he had recklessly barged into the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode without leaving any definite message for his clansmen.

As a result, he was trapped in this dark and sunless place for nearly ten thousand years, which also caused the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe to fall apart, and his daughter, who should have been pampered, suffered a lot from a young age.

The one who hates the most is Tou She Ancient God, who left behind such a method. Zhu Kun guessed that the former probably had long anticipated that someone would try to force their way in, so he left this contingency plan so that a powerful person could guard the gate for him.

As the Dragon Emperor, the strongest being at the time, Zhu Kun considered himself unparalleled in the world, yet he was trapped in such a godforsaken place—it was an utter disgrace.

Then Zhu Kun turned his gaze to Xiao Han again, his eyes filled with cunning, and said, "So, if you want my help, you'll have to wait until I'm free first."

"Your Dragon Emperor must just be trapped here, right?" Xiao Han suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Kun asked, frowning.

"I wonder if Your Dragon Emperor could open a spatial passage to the outside world?"

Zhu Kun shook his head and said, "Boy, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can tell you for sure that it's impossible."

Zhu Kun was trapped here for nearly ten thousand years. From being furious at the beginning to struggling to break free and then lying down, he had thought of all sorts of things during that time.

What's most suffocating is the dark space and endless loneliness, which leads Zhu Kun to choose to sleep to ignore the passage of time.

If he had the ability to open up this space, even if he himself couldn't leave, he could still attract some creatures with his methods. Then, even if he instigated them to fight each other, it wouldn't be so boring.

Moreover, if he could truly influence the outside world, he would probably violently demolish the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda the moment it was built on his head.

Although Xiao Han was disappointed, he could only say that he was somewhat prepared. He then made a request. "Could the Dragon Emperor please do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?" Zhu Kun had already said that he could only wander around this cave, so he wanted to see what this young man had to say.

"Help me kill someone when the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode emerges!" Xiao Han's tone was gentle, but the killing intent within it sent chills down one's spine.

"The Ancient Emperor Cave Abode has been revealed?" Zhu Kun seemed to have grasped something, looking at Xiao Han with surprise. "You have the key to the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode?" His eyes gleamed.

Xiao Han denied it.

"Dragon Emperor, there's no need for you to have such thoughts. The Tou She Ancient God Jade was originally divided into eight pieces. Under the strict protection of various Ancient Races, how could I possibly obtain it? You can ask Elder Zhu Huo for confirmation on this point."

Zhu Kun turned his gaze to the Candle Flame, which nodded affirmatively, and Zhu Kun immediately felt relieved.

He was quite clear about the strength of the Ancient Races. Even when he was still alive, the Void Ancient Dragon was only barely on par with those Ancient Races.

Xiao Han's strength is not bad, but if what the other party said is true, then collecting all the fragments is Arabian Nights.

Xiao Han's lips curled up imperceptibly. Even if he did have one, he wouldn't dare to show it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhu Kun can now talk to him calmly; he has also done a great favor for the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe.

But this little thing is nothing in front of the Tou She Ancient God Jade. It is estimated that as soon as he takes out the jade, Zhu Kun can take action on the other side.

Zhu Kun snapped out of his daze. "Then what do you mean by this?"

Is this kid an idiot? He can't leave until he gathers Ancient Emperor Jade. So... Xiao Han's conditions are practically nonexistent.

Has he run into a really kind (or foolish) person?

"Your Dragon Emperor may have some doubts..." Xiao Han smiled, "But I believe that the day you are freed from this predicament is not far off."

Zhu Kun disliked Xiao Han, a riddle-like person who didn't explain himself clearly, but since the other party was so certain, he was probably not lying to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

His tone became much lighter. "Then who do you need me to kill?"

Zhu Kun wasn't worried about running into someone he couldn't afford to offend; he believed that his strength was virtually unmatched below the Dou Di.

He just wanted to confirm the target; killing the wrong person would be a huge loss. After all, Xiao Han was quite strong, and anyone who would make him ask for help was definitely Nine Star Dou Sheng.

Although he could easily defeat such an opponent, it would still take some effort to kill him.

"As long as the Dragon Emperor kills the person who opened the cave, that will suffice."

Zhu Kun didn't refuse. "No problem!"

Xiao Han now wanted to know what the Soul Emperor thought when he opened his cave and encountered Zhu Kun, who was charging directly at him.

"Then thank you very much, Your Dragon Emperor."

"Aren't you interested in this Ancient Emperor Cave Abode?" Zhu Kun asked, puzzled.

Initially, he thought Xiao Han wanted to use this favor on the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode to find out what secrets were hidden inside.

However, to his surprise, Xiao Han did not mention the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode at all from beginning to end, which was quite abnormal!

If he weren't certain that he was the only one in the entire Fierce Qi Continent who knew the secret of Tou She Ancient God, he would have suspected that Xiao Han knew something.

"I am naturally interested in the secret to becoming Becoming Emperor!" Xiao Han said, then changed the subject, "But even a powerhouse like you cannot enter it, so it is even less likely that I will have such an opportunity."

What difference does it make whether you know or not?

Zhu Kun now held Xiao Han in even higher regard.

Previously, he was only surprised by the other party's talent, but now he is shocked by the latter's character.

Everyone knows that only a select few at the very top can obtain the secrets of the Dou Di, yet some still want to try, believing themselves to be favored by the heavens.

This has caused countless bloodshed and turmoil on the continent. Even the Candle Flame from just now, despite having ten thousand years of experience, almost lost its mind the moment it learned of the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode.

Moreover, in Zhu Kun's opinion, if Xiao Han continues to cultivate, he will eventually reach that level, and he doesn't believe that the other party doesn't have that desire.

However, what is most precious is that he was able to suppress this greed in time, which is truly rare.

"However, I think it should be the time for His Dragon Emperor to reunite with his family!" At this moment, Xiao Han's sudden words interrupted Zhu Kun's thoughts, and his imperial majesty trembled for a moment.

"That's right, Your Highness will be brought here immediately." The Candle Flame, realizing what was happening, became excited and immediately returned to the outside world.

Xiao Han followed closely behind.
