She hated that woman with such madness but she could not do anything about it!
…
In the inheritance chamber.
There was a portrait hanging on the stone wall.
The portrait depicted a woman. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall while her eyes and brows were as pretty as a picture. Her expression was grim and decisive while a longsword stood erect in front of her. Gu Ruoyun had immediately recognized the sword at first glance – it was the Nine Emperors that she now possesses!
“This woman holds the Nine Emperors in her hand. This must be the woman that I’ve seen many times in my dreams. The only thing was, her face had been blurred out each time. This is the first time I’ve ever seen her likeness. I never thought that she would turn out to be such an unsurpassed beauty.”
However, when she remembered the relationship this woman had with Qianbei Ye, Gu Ruoyun’s heart sank.
“We seem to have been brought together by fate. You were the last Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda and I am the second Master. Besides, the Divine Weapon that I had accidentally obtained was also created by you. Therefore, in an unseen world, I’ve received your help once again. However, while I don’t know what relationship you have with Xiao Ye, I trust him just as he trusts me. I also believe that the person who had pointed his sword at her can’t possibly be him at all!”
At this moment, Gu Ruoyun remembered the vision she had seen in her dreams and a sense of determination flashed through her grim eyes.
In the dream, she had witnessed Qianbei Ye stabbing a sword through the woman’s chest, fully intending on snatching the Ancient Divine Pagoda away. However, she did not know why but she was certain that the man was not him at all.
Gu Ruoyun lifted her hand and gently stroked the portrait on the wall.
From a faint distance, some sort of power was calling out to her, filling her heart with warmth.
“Don’t worry, I will find the true murderer and avenge you.”
She will never forget how powerful the woman was in her dream! A powerful cultivator like that had been defeated by such a sinister plot! Hence, whether it was for the sake of the Ancient Divine Pagoda or the Divine Weapon, the Nine Emperors, she would avenge this woman!
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the portrait on the wall. A white light dispersed throughout the inheritance chamber and enveloped Gu Ruoyun’s body.
A somber voice rang out from nowhere, entering her ears.
“You’ve finally arrived?”
I’ve finally arrived?
Gu Ruoyun was shaken. Had this woman been waiting for me?
She began to search frantically all over the place at the thought of this but she could not even find that woman’s shadow.
“I know that you must be looking for me. There’s no need, I’m already dead. All that’s left behind is a remnant of my thoughts! I don’t know what dynasty it is now nor do I know where the inheritance that I’ve created has been placed. All I know is that I had left this inheritance before I died to await your arrival.”
“In order to lure you here, I’ve separated a part of my own power. As a result, anyone who gets near to this inheritance will receive a thread of power! They could even use this power for a breakthrough! I had hoped to use it to attract your attention to me.”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes flashed. If Elder Tianren’s words were accurate, the person who had brought the inheritance to the Secret Order should be Qianbei Ye.
It was likely that this woman had not had the time to prepare all her future arrangements and had hurriedly set up this inheritance! To protect this inheritance from falling into the wrong hands, Qianbei Ye had left this inheritance to the Secret Order and asked them to help protect it.
As Gu Ruoyun was in the midst of deep thought, the woman’s somber voice slowly rang out, “I’ve placed a seal on this inheritance. Others may be able to accept a thread of its power but they can never fully grasp the abilities of this inheritance. Only you, the Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda, can break the seal and receive the inheritance!”
