The Mysterious Elder and the Ancient Ruins' Inheritance

Upon seeing the old man, Ao Run's face lit up with joy. He quickly ran over, respectfully performed a junior's greeting, and then said with a smile, "Ao Run greets Senior!"

"Hmm!" The old man nodded with a smile, then said to Ao Run with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, you've grown so Dazhuang now, much stronger than before."

Hearing the old man's praise, Ao Run scratched his head a little embarrassedly, chuckled, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, senior."

"Haha, don't be so polite!" Seeing Ao Run's honest smile, the old man laughed heartily, then gave Ao Run a thumbs-up and said, "Seeing you like this now, I can finally rest easy."

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run was taken aback, a look of confusion on his face. He looked at the old man and asked, "Senior, what is this...?"

The old man chuckled and explained, "I overheard you talking to that human just now. I've heard about it too. That human seems to be a Dragon Race. I wonder what he said to you that caused you to end up like this."

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Senior, don't let this kid's usual carefree appearance fool you. Actually, he's a complete schemer. Not only is he incredibly cunning and treacherous, but he also has a sharp tongue. I even suspect that he was trained by the Dragon Race Chief since birth."

"Oh? Is that so? So you have a grudge against him?" The old man asked with a smile after hearing Ao Run's words.

After listening to the old man's words, Ao Run nodded and said, "That's right, there is indeed a grudge, and a very deep one at that. Senior, you don't know, I, Ao Run, have served under the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor for a long time, so I know him best. This human is simply full of evil intentions, so this time, I will definitely not let him off so easily."

Upon hearing Ao Run's words, the old man frowned slightly, then asked with some worry, "Ao Run, I've heard that human is immortal. If that's the case, killing him will be quite troublesome."

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run chuckled and said, "Senior, you don't need to worry. Although that kid is indeed very cunning, he is only one person. Besides, I brought so many Demon Race cultivators with me this time. I don't believe he can fight against so many of my Demon Race cultivators by himself."

After hearing Ao Run's words, the old man nodded and said, "If that's the case, then things are much easier. Immediately send these Demon Race cultivators to the Cloud Spirit Kingdom. I will send that human friend and his companions along. I want them to witness this scene, so they will know how he died at our hands."

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said to the old man, "Yes, senior, I understand!"

With that, Ao Run turned to the Demon Race cultivators and shouted, "Alright, do as I say immediately. In a moment, wait for my order. I want those Dragon Race cultivators to see the consequences of offending the Demon Race."

After hearing Ao Run's order, the Demon Race cultivators all obeyed and left. Ao Run also turned around and sat down in the seat he had just been sitting in.

"Ao Run, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you this time." The old man sitting in the seat said to Ao Run with a serious expression.

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run smiled and nodded, saying, "Senior, please rest assured. I feel much more at ease with your words. Senior, I will send them there now. I will let you see them reduced to ashes under my attack, and let them know who is the number one person in the Heavenly Origin Realm!"

As he spoke, a cruel expression involuntarily appeared on Ao Run's face.

"Hmm, not bad!" After hearing Ao Run's words, the old man nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Ao Run, "Don't worry, as long as you handle this matter well, the Dragon Race will definitely appreciate you, and you will certainly be given an important position."

After hearing the old man's words, Ao Run quickly replied with a smile, "Thank you, senior. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

"Alright, don't be too arrogant. He's just a mere human. Once we eliminate him, this Heavenly Demon Domain will be yours for the taking." The old man chuckled as he looked at Ao Run.

"Yes, senior!" Ao Run replied with a smile after hearing the old man's words, but his face still held a deep gloom.

Seeing Ao Run's appearance, the old man didn't say anything more, just nodded and closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, in a mountain valley 5,000 kilometers away from Azure Cloud Mountain.

A young man sat cross-legged on a branch of a large tree on a hillside. Behind him was a giant sword, its entire body emerald green, emitting a faint glow.

At this moment, the young man formed a hand seal, and an immense magical Law Power was continuously poured into the giant sword. Subsequently, runes continuously emerged from the blade of the giant sword and merged into it, making the giant sword's light shine brighter and brighter.

Before long, the light of the greatsword became even more dazzling, like a ball of flame burning fiercely around it, turning the entire space a bright red, and even the surrounding space seemed to be scorched, appearing extremely hot.

At this moment, the man was Han Zhongli, and in front of him was Han Zhongli's master, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King.

At this moment, Han Zhongli's master suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Han Zhongli, and said with a smile, "Li'er, you're preparing to refine that treasure, aren't you? Don't worry, as soon as it's finished, we'll immediately set off to rescue Cloud Spirit Sect Yun Lingzi."

Han Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Master, however, I still have many things to refine, so let's go to the Cloud Spirit Sect after I finish this treasure."

After hearing Han Zhongli's words, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Li'er, I'm afraid that if you do this, you'll push that old man too far. What if you fail to refine the treasure? What will we do then?"

After hearing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King's words, Han Zhongli couldn't help but laugh and say, "Master, don't worry, I'm absolutely confident that I can successfully refine this treasure. I just want to test the power of the various Divine Ability abilities I've been practicing lately."
