The night was as dark as ink, and the ancient Tengshe Mansion gleamed under the lights.
Perhaps it was the weather that was uncooperative, or perhaps the celestial phenomena here were being interfered with by external forces, but the sky above Qingping City remained shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and now a light drizzle was beginning to fall.
Chu Sui'er took a light breath, trying to calm her agitated state of mind. "..."
Considering her own plans and strength, she and Ye Li followed closely behind the Blood-robed High Priest, then asked the young man in a slightly trembling voice:
"Friend, speaking of which, I haven't yet asked your name."
From the conversation just now, she learned that this Baiyi True Person also didn't have much affection for the so-called Divine Demon Kingdom, and could even be said to have some dislike for it.
It's rare to encounter such a strong person who dares to speak their mind so frankly.
Chu Sui'er felt that it would be better to know the other person's name before she died.
"Ye Li."
Ye Li did not hide anything. His name was renowned throughout the Eastern Continent, and also widely known in the Central and Western Continent. However, he was not well-known in the Abyss of Gods and Demons, which was basically isolated from the world.
It's a really reassuring place.
"Then I'll call you Brother Ye..."
Chu Sui'er laughed, gazing at the majestic mansion approaching ahead, and asked, "I wonder what Brother Ye's cultivation level is?"
"Fifth level of the Divine Connection Realm"
Ye Li first briefly recalled his performance at the altar, and then answered the question directly.
Even with this level of cultivation, he's still the strongest among the geniuses present, and his words will carry weight.
As expected.
Upon hearing this, the Tianyuan warriors behind them all widened their eyes, their heartbeats quickening. Martial Dao expert of such high cultivation level actually wanted to compete with them for the Snake God's Inheritance?
Even without the status of Inheritance, they would probably still enjoy considerable privileges in front of the Demon God.
Chu Sui'er forced a smile and said, "I... am at the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm."
He then gritted his teeth and said, "But in terms of age alone, I should be a bit younger than Brother Ye."
"Therefore, I will go in first to receive the Inheritance."
As the eldest daughter of the Chu family finished speaking, before Ye Li could reply, the blood-robed bishop at the forefront turned around, his voice hoarse:
"The Divine Lord has instructed that both of you enter together."
In fact, there is still some time before the start of the [Snake Sacrifice] in the past.
But as the saying goes, it's better to enjoy happiness alone than to enjoy it with others.
The other two Divine Lords would take some time to arrive, and in order to enjoy this hard-won delicacy all to himself, Tengshe naturally planned to take advantage of the break and enjoy the main dish by himself first.
These are not things that the high priest needs to care about; he only knows how to convey the original commands of his Family Head.
"High Priest, this..."
Chu Sui'er frowned deeply; she had never heard of two people having to undergo the so-called [power Inheritance] together!
Ultimately, entering the mansion one by one to endure the dual torment of mind and body from the Tengshe Divine Lord was a rule it had set for itself.
Now, seeing Human Body Great Elixir at the Divine Connection Realm, they've completely abandoned all sense of shame!
"If we don't leave now, the Divine Lord will be angry. Don't say any more."
Before Chu Sui'er could finish speaking, the high priest casually uttered a sentence, silencing her.
Not only that, Chu Sui'er also felt countless reproachful and urging gazes coming from behind her, clearly treating this so-called Divine Lord Inheritance as a lifeline.
The reasoning is very simple.
In this demonic cave that calls itself the "Divine Demon Kingdom," these few divine Divine Lord are the most authoritative beings.
The rule of thousands upon thousands, the tragic deaths of countless people who attempted to rebel... all of this only amplified the majesty of the Great Demon.
But some people did not give up, and some survivors still had their spirit!
"I hope the Snake God will devour my body first, otherwise Brother Ye is likely to be in grave danger..." Chu Sui'er silently gritted her teeth.
It wasn't that she had any deep feelings for Ye Li, but she felt it was a real pity that such an outstanding compatriot had died here.
So she wanted to change all of that.
Or rather, she came here to change all of this!
The Tengshe Mansion.
It is evident that this place was converted from an ancient palace, and its grandeur is extraordinary.
Unfortunately, this ancient building, which sits in the heart of the city, is now like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, its gilded and dazzling maw wide open.
A group of figures filed in through the outermost gate, drawing envious glances from residents in nearby high-rise buildings, who could only see the vermilion gate closing again.
Splash--
The rain intensified, and the air grew increasingly cold.
But it did nothing to extinguish the flames burning in Chu Sui'er's heart.
Just as the Blood-robed High Priest had said earlier, she and Ye Li were considered the first to receive the Inheritance and were now surrounded at the front of the procession.
They bid farewell to the many excited prodigies and took the lead in passing through the numerous buildings, approaching the magnificent mansion that stood out in the entire Qingping City.
"Brother Ye, are you nervous?"
Just before stepping into the courtyard, Chu Sui'er, her breathing rapid, couldn't help but turn her head and ask the Baiyi True Person beside her.
"Fine."
Ye Li remained calm and told him the truth without hesitation.
Compared to usual, he did feel somewhat uneasy and nervous at this moment.
However, the origin of this emotion is probably quite different from what the other person imagines.
"I'm fine too..."
Chu Sui'er clutched her chest, took a deep breath, and then looked resolutely ahead with her brown eyes. "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Li nodded slightly.
Soon, the two passed through the rain as planned and entered the mansion that others longed for.
The main hall doors opened by themselves without any wind, and the stench of blood solidified and slapped against Chu Sui'er's face.
Under the gloomy sky, a refined-looking man in blue robes stood with his back to them in the hall, only turning around when the two stepped into the main hall.
"They've arrived?"
True Lord Tengshe had gentle features and a smiling voice. On the table behind him was a half-finished piece of calligraphy.
Putting aside the strong bloody atmosphere of this place, it really does resemble a kind and gentle elder who has read the classics.
"Sui'er greets the Divine Lord."
Chu Sui'er bowed respectfully. Years of experience together had taught her what to do and when to do it, and she showed no sign of hatred towards the Demon Lord.
She glanced at Ye Li, only to be surprised to find that he had simply found a chair and sat down, his movements as casual as if he were at home.
Brother Ye, this is the Divine Lord's Mansion!
What are you thinking...? Chu Sui'er's breathing hitched slightly, and even her gaze towards Tengshe became somewhat fearful.
Fortunately, Tengshe didn't seem to care about this at all.
It first nodded slightly to Ye Li.
He then looked directly in Chu Sui'er's direction, but before the latter could truly relax, True Lord Tengshe's voice echoed in the main hall, gentle and smiling, yet it instantly chilled Chu Sui'er's passionate heart:
"Speaking of which, how long have you been nurturing the Treasure Medicine in your Qi Sea, Sui'er?"
"...?"
