Hello, Demon Emperor Your Excellency
"The Battle Venerable Mingyu?"
Xiao Han stared at the illusory middle-aged figure before him. The figure was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, which accentuated his noble demeanor. His long hair was tied into a ponytail and stood tall and straight. His heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one blue, were mysterious and dangerous, while the warm smile that always graced his lips was like a gentle breeze.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man did not deny it, nodded in agreement, and said with some emotion:
"Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a Lower Earthly Supreme who walked up to me."
Battle Venerable Mingyu's eyes gradually became unfocused, his gaze seemingly drifting to some distant place. He quickly regained his senses, a smile spreading across his face.
"Young friend, are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
"That easy?"
Xiao Han was very surprised and said with a face full of doubt:
"Could this be a scam?"
"Aren't you planning to take over someone's body or something?"
Hearing these straightforward words, Battle Venerable Mingyu said with a wry smile:
"Young friend, please don't joke around. I am now powerless to possess someone's body."
He subconsciously touched his face, somewhat puzzled. Did he have the face of a bad person?
That shouldn't be happening!
Back then, he was considered the dream lover of women all over the continent. So many years have passed, and the aesthetic standards of the Great Thousand World have changed?
Xiao Han coldly observed the Battle Venerable Mingyu before him, whose face flushed and paled incessantly, occasionally revealing a lewd expression. He immediately drew a conclusion in his mind.
"That Battle Venerable Mingyu is definitely not a good person!"
Finally, after a long while, Battle Venerable Mingyu returned to normal and revealed his friendly (and sinister) smile again.
"To be able to break the seal on the Nine Nether Jade Vein, you must be a Spirit Array Master, young friend?"
"And his skill in Spirit Array is quite high?"
"So what?"
Xiao Han's tone was very calm. The Spirit Array seal on the outer layer of the Nine Nether Jade Vein was indeed difficult to deal with. Although his response seemed casual, even an ordinary mid-level Spirit Array Master would be helpless. This must be the standard for the test.
He wasn't worried that the person in front of him wouldn't pass on his legacy. Although the person in front of him might still possess some power, he could simply bypass him and plunder the rest of the place, which would only take some time.
As for the so-called Great Spirit Array Master? He will reach that level one day as well; this inheritance is merely icing on the cake.
It's such a pity that such a large area of Nine Nether Jade Vein is wasted!
Xiao Han looked around regretfully; the icy power within the mine was simply a gift to him.
"How about we try to knock down some and take them with us?"
The idea suddenly popped into Xiao Han's mind and became unstoppable.
Seemingly sensing some kind of malice, Battle Venerable Mingyu felt a chill run down his spine and continued:
"Young friend, it seems you look down on my inherited skills?"
"That's right."
That's so damn straightforward!
Battle Venerable Mingyu's expression stiffened, almost unable to contain himself. If he didn't like it, so be it. He was Great Spirit Array Master.
Who cares...
Hmm... we should still take a look at him; at least this person is the only one we can actually appreciate.
Thinking this, Battle Venerable Mingyu chuckled again and said:
"Young friend, don't you want to know what you will receive after accepting my legacy?"
"Just a heads-up, the wealth isn't limited to just this old man's Ruins!"
Um?!
"Senior Mingyu, you're joking. I was just making a little joke."
"The legacy passed down from our predecessors is so precious, how could I possibly look down on it?"
Xiao Han suddenly smiled broadly and said respectfully:
"Thank you to our predecessors for passing on their knowledge and skills!"
They even take the inheritance upon themselves, leaving no room for regret.
Was he after that little bit of money?
Who doesn't know that he regards money as dirt?
He simply didn't want to waste resources and let the legacy of a Great Spirit Array Master be extinguished, and he also wanted to provide some farmyard manure for his few nutrient-poor plots of land.
Absolutely no other intentions!
Seeing the young man's efficiency and the dramatic change in his attitude, Battle Venerable Mingyu was almost stunned. After regaining his senses, he was blinded by the golden light in Xiao Han's eyes and could not open them. He sighed deeply.
People's hearts have changed!
Every young man in the past was diligent in his training, willing to risk his life for even the slightest increase in strength.
How tragic and lamentable!
These days, little guys are only interested in money!
Fortunately, he still has a little bit of wealth.
"It seems you, young friend, find my humble inheritance worthy of your attention?"
"I like it, I like it." Xiao Han nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly.
"Pity..."
Battle Venerable Mingyu shook his head, saying with considerable regret:
"I still want to see your unruly side."
Xiao Han: "..."
Actually, I can do it too.
After some lighthearted banter, the two got back to the main topic.
"My legacy is not so easily obtained."
Battle Venerable Mingyu's tone was solemn.
"Young friend, you need to help this old man solve a major problem that has been weighing on his mind."
"Senior, are you referring to the Evil Clan within this Ruins?"
Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged, but the long spear he gripped tightly in his hand revealed his inner turmoil.
Upon hearing this, Battle Venerable Mingyu was visibly surprised, and after a long while, he shook his head and smiled:
"As expected, young friend, having cultivated to this level, you also have some understanding of those wicked beasts."
The existence of Extraterrestrial Evil race may be unknown in some remote areas of the Great Thousand World, but it is common knowledge among all powerful individuals who have reached a certain level of strength.
It's not hard to accept that Xiao Han knows about the Extraterrestrial Evil race; in fact, it would be more suspicious if he didn't.
However, Battle Venerable Mingyu did not expect...
"Young friend, could you tell me how you sensed the Extraterrestrial Evil race that I had suppressed?"
"Breath."
Xiao Han said matter-of-factly.
"Senior, you may not know this, but I have also had quite a few dealings with the Extraterrestrial Evil race, and I have some understanding of those guys."
"Moreover, the aura of the Extraterrestrial Evil race has already spread to the outer perimeter of the Ruins. If we don't stop it soon, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Han did not specify the consequences, but Battle Venerable Mingyu's serious expression already indicated the gravity of the situation.
"Has it really deteriorated to this extent?"
Battle Venerable Mingyu sighed softly and said wistfully:
"Five thousand years have passed, and even my old, remnant soul could not withstand it. I never expected it could still stir up trouble."
His eyes were slightly vacant, but his bright gaze held a hint of longing and gentleness.
"Never mind, never mind." Battle Venerable Mingyu suddenly waved his hand, as if he had let go of some idea.
Let's put an end to this today.
"Young friend, I'm afraid we'll need your help this time."
"It is my duty!" Xiao Han's expression was firm, and his tone was powerful. This was not just empty talk, but words from the bottom of his heart.
It's not just the hatred for the Extraterrestrial Evil race that flows in our blood as members of this Great Thousand World, but also our heartfelt respect for Battle Venerable Mingyu, the senior who gave his life.
"Good!"
"In that case, I will pass on all my inheritance to you."
"I believe that my life's learning will not be wasted in you."
Battle Venerable Mingyu's eyes widened, his tone solemn, and with a hint of relief that someone had a worthy successor, he waved his sleeve, and a crystal ball the size of a human head floated in front of Xiao Han.
"Young friend, simply place your hand on it and feel it with your heart."
Battle Venerable Mingyu had a gentle smile on his lips as he looked at Xiao Han with anticipation.
The latter glanced in the direction of Battle Venerable Mingyu, then slowly extended his palm towards the crystal ball.
Yes! That's it!
Battle Venerable Mingyu's eyes burned even more intensely as he tried his best to suppress the trembling of his body.
Xiao Han's palm drew closer and closer to the crystal ball, and then...
Suddenly stopped!
Battle Venerable Mingyu was taken aback, met Xiao Han's gaze in astonishment, and smiled:
"Why are you unwilling to accept the inheritance, young friend?"
"My legacy still contains the location of a treasure from back then."
"Put your hand on it!"
Xiao Han's gaze became increasingly playful.
"Put it up there!" Battle Venerable Mingyu's voice was almost hysterical.
"Why don't you put it up there!"
That warm, middle-aged man has vanished, replaced by a ferocious face.
"I think we should wait a while before releasing it."
Xiao Han chuckled and withdrew his hand, his Spiritual Power circulating throughout his limbs and bones.
"You agree, right..."
"Your Demon Emperor Your Excellency of the Extraterrestrial Evil race."
