Talisman Emperor
Chapter 968 The mysterious ancestral treasure
Gu Tian's!
This guard commander who had been escorting Cui Qingning all the way had left him alone long ago in Rahu City, and he left the jade slip ten days later. At that moment, Chen Xi even felt angry because of Gu Tian's death.
Yet now, Gu Tian was standing alive and far in front of his eyes!
Chen Xi's eyes instantly narrowed, and she stared at Gu Tian for a long time before she said, "You have your own difficulties, and I have my own principles. Good luck."
His voice was calm and did not carry any emotions, and he left with big strides as soon as he finished speaking.
Bei Ling did not even glance at him before she followed behind Chen Xi and left.
Gu Tian's entire body stiffened while he laughed bitterly, and then he recalled the instructions from the Ancestor and hurriedly followed up on them before he said, "Brother Chen Xi, Miss Bei Ling, please, My Clan Ancestor requested your presence …"
His voice had not finished echoing in the air when Chen Xi and Bei Ling had already disappeared without a trace.
Gu Tian sighed sadly when he saw this, and he muttered. "I'm helpless in my position!"
He knew that from today onwards, he might not be able to regain the forgiveness from Chen Xi and Bei Ling.
…
Outside the Cui Clan Estate, Chen Xi could not help but take a deep breath as she looked up at the sky.
His good intentions have been repaid with schemes and scams. He could not be said to be extremely angry, yet it was impossible for Chen Xi to face all of this with his previous attitude.
"I'm really worried that you'll kill him early," Bei Ling said from the side.
"Why should I kill him? I can only blame my own strength for not being enough. If I was a figure like the Netherworld Emperor, then would anyone dare to include me into their scheme? ”Chen Xi shook her head, and she sighed endlessly in her heart. Regardless of whether I was used by the Cui Clan Ancestor, after all was said and done, it was still because my strength was not strong enough.
"Let's go."
"Where?"
“The Kings of Hell. Let's meet the Second King of Hell, King Chu Jiang, whose status and strength are even greater than that of the Ancestor of the Cui Clan. "
"Good."
…
But just when Chen Xi and Bei Ling were intending to leave, the space shook as it fluctuated, and then a mighty figure suddenly appeared before them.
It was a fat old man with red cheeks and a docile expression. He had a smiling appearance while his figure flowed with the mysterious energy of Laws that aroused horror in the hearts of others.
Clearly, this was a terrifying existence that at least had cultivation in the Eternal Celestial Realm!
"Young man, has my Cui Clan treated you badly in any way?" The old man smirked as he spoke, and he carried a docile attitude.
Chen Xi was stunned, and she clearly realized in her heart that she had no choice but to meet the Ancestor of the Cui Clan this time around.
"Senior, please lead the way," Chen Xi said directly.
The fat old man never seemed to have expected that Chen Xi would become so direct, and he was a little surprised before he laughed out loud and said, “Good! The young men of today really have character. Not bad, not bad. "
As he spoke, he brought Chen Xi and Bei Ling along while executing a teleportation technique, and he instantly disappeared on the spot.
The ancient limestone sacrificial altar was mottled with signs of age, and it was overwhelmed by the heavy aura of time.
Right now, the square before the sacrificial altar was completely empty, and it was extremely difficult to imagine that the entire clan of the Cui Clan had gathered here not long ago. Moreover, intense confrontations and battles had taken place here.
At this moment, there was only one tall, thin, and mighty figure standing proudly on the sacrificial altar. His hair looked as gray as silver, while golden strands of Laws energy surrounded him, causing a rain of light to fall, and he looked like a saint who descended into the world.
This person was naturally the Ancestor of the Cui Clan, Cui Zhenkong!
A supreme figure who possessed monstrous authority and admired the world.
When Chen Xi and Bei Ling arrived here, the fat old man had already left without making a sound, and only the three of them remained standing in the entire area before the sacrificial altar.
When they saw the huge and mighty figure on the sacrificial altar, the hearts of Bei Ling and Chen Xi did not carry the slightest bit of respect, and their feelings were only enveloped by complications.
"Listen, Qingning has entered a secret world within the ancestral ground, and she will begin to understand the legacy left behind by the first ancestor." Cui Zhenkong did not turn around. He flicked his sleeves and caused a passageway to faintly appear in the space above the sacrificial altar, and there was a delicate and graceful figure walking in it.
Inside the dimly lit hallway, that delicate and small figure was as if it would be completely engulfed by the darkness around it in the next moment. But he seemed to be unaware of all this, and his footsteps were firm and calm, making it seem as if he was crossing a flat land.
“The bloodline that Qingning has is extremely rare, and best suited to Judgment Dao Insight. In the history of my clan, only fewer than seven or eight people in total possess such unique natural abilities as him. ”
"So only he had the qualifications to replace the Patriarch position and control the entire Punishment Bureau. I can even estimate that a Judgement Queen with extraordinary abilities will definitely appear in my Cui Clan a hundred years from now! ”
When he spoke here, Cui Zhenkong suddenly turned around while his eyes were like a golden-coloured sharp blade that swept across Chen Xi and Bei Ling, and then he said, "Do you two know the name of my clan's first ancestor?"
“Cui Jue's. A million years ago, he was a prominent figure in Netherhell, and he held a book of life and death and brushed the soul as he controlled the entire Six Paths of Hell. He was the most outstanding and monstrous figure in the Netherworld other than the Netherworld Emperor, and he was called Judge Cui and was famous throughout the three dimensions. ”Although he was a little curious about why Cui Zhenkong would ask this, Bei Ling still answered a light voice.
Cui Zhenkong nodded and said, “Fright. But what the two of you don't know is that since the first ancestor left, my Cui Clan's forces in the Netherworld gradually decreased as time went on. Not only has my Cui Clan lost control of the Six Paths of Hell, even its status is much lower than before. Moreover, even the Nether Spring Hall, Granny Meng Hall, and other such powers vaguely showed signs of being superior to my Punishment Bureau! ”
His voice carried a lump of anger that could not be held back.
Chen Xi and Bei Ling were silent, yet they did not really touch their hearts. The river of life flowed without end, and there were countless forces that were even more prosperous and formidable than the Cui Clan, and there were countless others, yet they were swept away along with the boundless age and obliterated amid the record of time.
Comparatively, the ability of the Cui Clan to survive until now could be considered not bad.
Cui Zhenkong suddenly shook his head and said, "Actually, this is not anyone's fault, and a mistake can only be placed on my Cui Clan for not having capable numbers, either, so it is impossible for the mantle left by the first ancestor to inherit. So how can we control the Six Paths of Hell? ”
When he spoke to here, his spirit rose while his gaze became deep, and they looked like two burning suns in his eyes as he said, "Fortunately, heaven did not betray the long wait of me and the Cui Clan, and we ended up waiting for the arrival of someone who could inherit the mantle of the first ancestor! Moreover, my Cui Clan finally has hope of rebuilding the supreme glory of the past! This person is Qingning! "
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed, and they saw Cui Qingning inside the light screen that appeared in the air already walking to the end of the passageway to arrive before the peerless ancient Dao Platform.
The Dao platform was round like the Tai Chi symbol, and it was completely pitch-black, dim, and largely covered. Just glancing from afar caused others to feel an aura that was like an ancient burst attacking their faces.
On the Dao Platform was a strangely shaped and dark treasure floating and spinning there. It looked like it was shaped like the top of an axe, yet it also looked like a sharp blade or an irregular cut.
Cui Qingning sat cross-legged on top of the Dao Platform and seemed to have formed a slight connection with the nameless treasure, and she held her breath in concentration while she fell into a deep level of understanding.
Coupled with what Cui Zhenkong said, ripples could not help but appear in Bei Ling's heart as she looked once more at the young lady inside the light screen who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Dao Platform.
A bloodline inheritance that was extremely hard to come by?
The only hope for the Cui Clan to prosper?
The future Queen of Judgment in the Netherworld?
Before all this, who could have imagined that a young lady of around twelve like this would actually have such a brilliant halo around her?
But Bei Ling did not feel envious because she was sure that she was not inferior to Cui Qingning. The reason for this was as long as he persisted in his cultivation, then he would sooner or later be able to regain his glory and become an existence like Ghost Emperor Sheng Lin from the past.
Bei Ling only sighed slightly with emotion in her heart. Was the act of fully placing the fate of an entire clan on a young woman right or wrong?
At this moment, regardless of whether it was Bei Ling or the Ancestor of the Cui Clan, Cui Zhenkong, the two did not notice that Chen Xi's expression at this moment carried a hint of astonishment, confusion, and uncertainty …
Because the mysterious treasure on the Dao Platform on the light screen actually gave him a very familiar feeling!
After which, he finally understood exactly what the treasure looked like, and the corner of his mouth could not help but reveal a strange expression that quickly disappeared in an instant.
"See that? Qingning received the cleansing of the Ancestral inheritance, and only someone with a natural endowment like hers was able to withstand such an inheritance. "Cui Zhenkong had an excited expression, and the pride between his eyebrows was impossible to hide.
"Senior, if there's nothing else, then we'll take a leave of absence." Chen Xi spoke calmly.
It didn't matter if the Cui Clan suffered a setback or regained its former glory, everything related to the Cui Clan had no relationship with him at all.
Most importantly, it was impossible for him to evoke a slight good impression of this old man with peerless strength and peerless status after he had experienced the previous events.
"Go?" Cui Zhenkong was a little surprised, and he felt a little displeased being bothered by Chen Xi. But when he thought about how Chen Xi had helped Qingning a lot in the end, he did not get angry and just glanced at Chen Xi indifferently before he said, “Young man, he did not, everything from before was just a game. You should understand that even if some people wanted to join, they would be completely ineligible to do so, let alone personally given an audience by me. "
The meaning behind his words was that Chen Xi should be honored that he could enter Cui Zhenkong's plan and personally be given an audience by him. So Chen Xi was really a little disrespectful and did not know what was good for him by actually daring to take the initiative to mention his intention to leave.
Chen Xi was naturally able to discern this, and she was extremely curious in her heart. Where exactly did he get such a great feeling of superiority? This so-called accepting me is something that you took the initiative to invite me over, right? When have I ever made such a request?
Not to mention Chen Xi did not care about receiving an audience like this because he had even killed the clone of the Golden Immortal while even an Immortal Realm expert had once been his bodyguard. So how could he care about this kind of formal audience?
"I still have urgent issues to resolve, so I won't continue to bother Senior." Chen Xi thought for a moment and still decided to leave.
Cui Zhenkong's brows united even more tightly, and he even emitted an imposing aura that was suppressing. He looked like a tall figure who looked down on an ant in the world as he said in a calm and indifferent voice, "If not for Qingning mentioning her desire for me to gift you, then, You've died countless times to dare speak like this to me. "
Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up, and she stared directly at Cui Zhenkong as she said, "If it wasn't for Young Miss Cui, I wouldn't be staying here for another moment."
"Oh?" Cui Zhenkong's aura changed suddenly, and his gaze was like a cold lightning strike that locked onto Chen Xi. At the same time, a terrifying pressure enveloped like the anger of a Saint!
