Jun Yaoyang immediately said, "It's true, not only him, but the person who received the inheritance hasn't appeared yet either."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned, their faces showing confusion.
Li Nian spoke up, "The inheritance wasn't obtained by you?"
Jun Yaoyang's expression instantly turned grim, and he finally shook his head, saying, "We came out early because we didn't receive the inheritance, while the ones who truly received it are still inside."
Man Zun and Li Juejun exchanged a glance, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Nian narrowed her eyes slightly. "Continue."
Jun Yaoyang didn't waste any words and recounted everything that had happened inside the tomb. The only thing he probably didn't mention was his battle with Su Chen.
An overwhelming rage surged within Li Nian, his terrifying aura causing the surrounding space to boil. However, he forcibly suppressed his anger and continued, "Then why wasn't he teleported out?"
Jun Yaoyang said, "I don't know, but I'm sure he's still inside!"
Li Nian fell into deep thought.
Man Zun said, " Li Nian, now that we've investigated, can we leave?"
Li Nian snapped out of her daze and shook her head, saying, "No."
The Man Zun flew into a rage, "Do you really intend to fight my Man Household?"
Li Nian said expressionlessly, "Who knows if what he said is true? None of you are allowed to leave until those three come out!"
Li Juejun then said, "Are you implying that the disciples of my High Antiquity Sword Sect are lying?"
Li Nian calmly replied, "It's not impossible."
Buzz!
A powerful Sword Intent surged from Li Juejun's body. He opened his right hand, revealing a sword, and stared at Li Nian, coldly saying, "Then let's fight."
The Man Zun clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, and his entire body emanated a powerful aura.
Li Nian frowned and fell into deep thought.
Jun Yaoyang suddenly said, "You can leave them here, because they are with those three."
As he spoke, he pointed at Yang Zhenyu and the others.
"You!"
Yang Zhenyu and his companions were furious, their eyes fixed on Jun Yaoyang.
Jun Yaoyang, however, didn't care at all and even let out a cold laugh.
Li Nian looked at Yang Zhenyu and the others.
Yang Zhenyu and the others felt suffocated, their faces turned pale, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.
Li Nian withdrew her gaze and looked at Jun Yaoyang, "Are you sure?"
Jun Yaoyang said, "If I'm lying, you can do whatever you want with me!"
" Yaoyang!" Li Juejun said solemnly.
Jun Yaoyang looked at Li Juejun and shook his head to indicate that he was alright.
Li Juejun frowned. For some reason, he felt that something was wrong with Jun Yaoyang at this moment. Something must have happened in the secret realm, but he didn't say anything.
By the way, Yaoyang has been pursuing Li Ruobing. Could it be because of Li Ruobing's death that...?
Li Juejun frowned, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Li Nian looked somewhat surprised. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Since you've said so, then you should leave."
After speaking, he looked at Yang Zhenyu and the others.
Yang Zhenyu and his Human Heart were startled, and before they could react, a terrifying aura swept over them. They had no power to resist and were instantly suppressed to the ground.
"Ah!"
A terrifying pressure pressed down on them, making them feel as if their bones were being crushed. They were in pain, and cold sweat poured down their faces.
Li Nian said expressionlessly, "You'd better stay here quietly until the three of them come out."
Seeing this, the others dared not hesitate any longer and turned to leave, fearing that if they did not leave, they might be implicated.
Jun Yaoyang glanced at Yang Zhenyu and the others, sneered, then turned and left, coming to Li Juejun and the others' side.
Li Juejun stared at Jun Yaoyang without saying a word.
Jun Yaoyang hesitated and said, "Sect Master..."
Li Juejun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Then he led Jun Yaoyang and the others away from there.
Man Ya returned to Man Zun and the others. He felt heavy-hearted, his mind replaying the words Lin Fan had spoken to him earlier.
An existence above the Immortal Emperor.
Is he truly a being above the Immortal Emperor?
The Man Zun said, "Let's go too."
Man Ya snapped out of his thoughts, looked up at Man Zun, and said, "Clan leader, how about we take a gamble?"
Man Zun and the others frowned.
The Man Ba asked, "What do you mean, kid?"
The Man Ya transmitted their voices to the Man Zun and the Man Ba.
A moment later, an expression of disbelief appeared on the faces of the two.
"Impossible!"
The Man Ba shook his head and said, "There can't be any existence in this world other than the Heavenly Dao."
Man Ya said anxiously, "I feel it's true!"
Seeing that Man Ya didn't seem to be joking, Man Zun fell into deep thought. After a long period of contemplation, he finally said, "You yourself said this is your feeling. If your feeling leads to a mistake and causes us to become enemies with the Li Household, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"I..." Man Ya wanted to say something more.
The Man Zun shook his head and said, "Let's go. No matter what, we can't make an enemy of the Li Household based solely on your feelings."
Man Ya lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Hmm."
Inside the celestial palace, Su Chen and the others sat around a stone table, and Shen Li poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Lin Fan and Youyue held their teacups, their expressions slightly uneasy. Sitting opposite them was Shen Li, the strongest being from millions of years ago. Who wouldn't be nervous sitting next to such a being?
Su Chen took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought. Why didn't they look at me like this? Did they not perceive me as a strong person?
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior Shen Li, didn't you already perish? How come...?"
He stopped there.
Shen Li, however, remained unperturbed, smiling slightly and saying, "I have indeed perished; this is merely a fragment of my divine soul."
Lin Fan and Youyue suddenly realized, "I see."
Shen Li said, "Since you two have arrived at the Immortal Palace at the same time, then you shall both receive my inheritance."
Lin Fan and Youyue were both excited. Could the legacy of the strongest person from tens of millions of years ago be simple? It certainly wasn't!
Shen Li smiled and said, "But before that, you must promise me one thing. Only if you promise will I pass on my legacy to you."
Lin Fan and Youyue were taken aback at first, then glanced at Su Chen.
Su Chen said, "You can make the decision yourselves."
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Senior, what do you want us to agree to?"
Shen Li's expression suddenly turned serious as he said, "Protect the Immortal Realm."
Lin Fan and Youyue were stunned.
Shen Li a deep breath, his expression slightly complicated, and finally sighed, " The Heaven-Forged Holy Land was once the number one power in the Immortal Realm, you know that, right?"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "I've heard about it from others."
Shen Li nodded and said, "Want to know how the Heaven-Forged Holy Land disappeared into the annals of history?"
The two nodded.
