Chapter 14982 Tiger Demon and Bai Yuxue
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a grand hall.
This hall is more magnificent than any others we've seen along the way, and even though it's long since dilapidated, you can still see its former grandeur.
The main hall's doors were wide open, revealing a pitch-black interior that seemed bottomless, like a black hole that swallowed everything, exuding a faint, ancient aura.
"This is it." Jian San stopped in front of the main hall and slowly turned around. "The core inheritance of the Sword Emperor Sect is located at the deepest part of this main hall. Inside, there is not only the sect leader's lifelong insights into the sword path, but also the Sword Emperor Sect's most treasured artifact. Whether you can obtain it depends on your fate."
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!" Ling Xiao cupped his hands in greeting and was about to go in with Long Muyu when he suddenly froze.
“Someone’s here, and more than one! Based on my experience, these two are not martial artists from the Tianlong Kingdom. They are likely outsiders, and it seems they are after the secret realm. Miss Long, doesn’t your Tianlong Kingdom have guards outside? How could you let outsiders in so easily?”
"Moreover, these two are both quite strong. They are probably a man and a woman. One has a rough and violent aura, while the other is cold and holy. But they both exude the same kind of greed!"
"As for strength, she's probably no match for Miss Long, but she's not weak either. We'd better be careful."
Long Muyu nodded, glancing at Ling Xiao with some surprise. Although her cultivation was higher than Ling Xiao's, she hadn't noticed anything unusual. She hadn't expected Ling Xiao to be the first to discover it.
“If they were as strong as me, they wouldn’t have been able to break in. The guards outside wouldn’t have been killed so easily, not even my father could do it.”
Long Muyu analyzed.
At this moment, she also sensed the two auras, and immediately, two figures descended and landed in front of the main hall.
The two stood side by side, their cold gazes sweeping over the soul forms of Ling Xiao, Long Muyu, and Jian San. Their eyes were filled with greed and hostility.
On the left is a young man, burly and broad-shouldered. His face is covered with several hideous scars, crisscrossing and adding to his fierce appearance. His eyes are eerie dark gold vertical pupils, like those of a wild beast, radiating a bloodthirsty glint that sends chills down one's spine.
It seems they've been through quite a few battles.
Just as Ling Xiao had analyzed, this person's aura was rather rough, almost like a wild beast!
“Barbarian Clan, Tiger Demon! What brings you here? Although my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom and the Barbarian Clan are not enemies, we are not so close as to share a secret realm.” Long Muyu recognized the man at a glance. After all, the Barbarian Clan was once a powerful clan, and even had some dealings with the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom. Long Muyu naturally recognized him.
Ling Xiao was a little confused. Although she had heard of the Wildlands, she knew very little about the Wildlands tribe and had no idea who Hu Xie was.
"Do you know him?" Ling Xiao asked Long Muyu curiously.
"The Barbarian Clan has always been fierce and warlike, with formidable strength. I never expected them to have found this secret realm. Brother Ling, you must be careful. This Tiger Demon is a typical Barbarian Clan warrior; he'll definitely fight anyone he doesn't like."
Long Muyu reminded him.
Ling Xiao smiled wryly: "Am I really that unpleasant to look at? Am I too handsome? But you can't blame me for that! By the way, who is the other person? He's quite good-looking, isn't he?"
It was a woman, dressed in pristine white, as immaculate as snow. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently in the breeze. Her aura was serene and otherworldly. Her skin was so white it was almost translucent, as if it could shatter at the slightest touch. Her features were like exquisitely sculpted works of art, flawless and without a single imperfection.
Her eyes were cold and icy, devoid of any warmth. They exuded an air of haughty superiority, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye.
She seemed like a goddess from the heavens, untouched by the dust of the world.
"That's the Holy Race's White Jade Snow!"
Long Muyu replied, "The Holy Clan has always acted in secrecy and possesses formidable strength. They maintain a neutral stance, yet I never expected them to appear here as well. Clearly, they are also here for the inheritance of the Sword Emperor Sect."
"Is there any connection between this Holy Race and the Holy Temple?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
"It shouldn't be related, I don't know the specifics. You'll have to ask them. Even if it is related, it must be a core secret of the Holy Race, which we have no way of knowing."
Long Muyu shook her head.
At this moment, they looked at Hu Xie and Bai Yuxue, while the two of them were also observing them.
Hu Xie's gaze swept over Ling Xiao and Long Muyu like a wild beast. His rough fingertips traced the beast teeth on his armor. A sneer, undisguised, curled at the corner of his mouth. "Oh, I didn't expect someone to arrive before us. Saves us the trouble of finding our way."
Bai Yuxue remained silent, her white robes appearing like fresh snowflakes against the dim mist. Her gaze fell indifferently on Ling Xiao. Her clear, icy eyes flickered slightly, as if scrutinizing his aura. She lingered for only a moment before abruptly looking away.
Finally, the message landed on Long Muyu: "I never imagined that the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom's hundreds of years of effort would finally lead to the breaking of this secret realm today. Well then, let's share it together."
"You two must have had a long and arduous journey!" Long Muyu stepped forward, her voice as cold as an icy pool. "However, this is a secret realm first discovered by the Tianlong Kingdom, and it falls within their sphere of influence. You came uninvited and trespassed recklessly. Shouldn't you give the Tianlong Kingdom an explanation?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xie immediately burst into laughter: "Tianlong Kingdom's territory? Miss Long, that's a rather domineering statement! Secret realms are naturally formed and belong to those with the right destiny. Why should it become yours just because your Tianlong Kingdom discovered it?"
"Besides, you probably don't know this, but your father, the ruler of the Tianlong Kingdom, specially invited the two of us. You're just a princess; surely you don't have more say than your father?"
Bai Yuxue said calmly, "We were just passing by when we sensed an ancient spiritual energy fluctuation here. So we came in to take a look, and we had no other intentions."
"Moreover, just as Hu Xie said, our arrival was permitted by the King of Tianlong Kingdom. Miss Long, even if you are a princess of Tianlong Kingdom, you have no right to drive us away."
Just passing by?
Long Muyu sneered inwardly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
Such a flawed and illogical story wouldn't fool even a three-year-old, let alone him.
The Holy Race has always acted in secrecy and with caution; if it weren't for premeditated planning...
How could one possibly just happen to "pass by" this extremely hidden secret place?
It can even pinpoint the location of the main hall?
Ling Xiao didn't care. It was just two more people. In this world, opportunities are meant for you, and those that aren't meant for you, you can't obtain even if you go in.
He smiled and said, "Miss Long, since you two are both here, let's let them go in together to avoid any unpleasantness. They also said that your father has already agreed, so there's no need for us to hold a grudge."
