"Hey, I'm here, hurry over." Ren Pingsheng glanced at Chu Yanran, and with a few flashes, he arrived in the distance. He then turned back and called out, immediately attracting Cheng Batian's attention.
"Haha, kid, you can't run away this time. Your strength is impressive; let's have a good fight." Cheng Batian rushed over from afar, his face full of excitement. He had just fought with Situ Kong, and although there was no clear winner, his momentum was already high.
"Very well, since you want to fight, I'll see how strong you really are!" He chuckled lightly and stepped forward. With a shake of the Azure Wind Sword in his hand, countless Sword Qi poured down, directly enveloping Cheng Batian.
"Don't underestimate me; you'd better show your true abilities." He shouted lightly as the Sword Qi was swept away by his Long Sword. At the same time, a blade of light sliced through the air towards him. Ren Pingsheng gently waved the Azure Wind Sword and instantly clashed with the blade of light three times. Both of them staggered back a step.
"Haha, very good! Your strength is indeed impressive; it's enough for me to enjoy a good battle." Instead of being surprised, he was delighted. With a swing of his Long Sword, his aura reached its peak. Ren Pingsheng was taken aback; Cheng Batian's strength was not inferior to Yun Xingzi's. Having just fought with Yun Xingzi, he could clearly feel it.
Not daring to be careless any longer, the two began to battle fiercely without holding back. Where they passed, Sword Qi swirled and blades flashed. The ground collapsed under their feet, and dust filled the air. The two figures intertwined as countless sparks flew.
Chu Yanran watched from a distance and was stunned by the overwhelming aura. She quickly put away the Inheritance Seed and rushed toward the exit. At the same time, she was shocked by Ren Pingsheng's strength. She had never realized that Ren Pingsheng was so powerful; no wonder he could obtain the Heritage.
Thinking about the Inheritance Seed in her possession, her heart surged with emotion. This was the Heritage of a King-Level Expert; as long as she fused with this seed, she would quickly become a King-Level Expert if nothing went wrong along the way. She just needed to comprehend everything about this Inheritance Seed and understand it thoroughly. There would be no need for years of hard struggle in cultivation.
She had previously thought about becoming a King-Level Expert and was confident in her talent. However, this trip to the Sword King Tomb made her realize that her talent was only slightly better than average people’s; compared to those geniuses, she still fell far short. For the first time, she lost confidence in becoming a King-Level Expert and felt a greater desire for strength.
Recalling past events—her father's concerns about the Evil Sect, her mother's life being constantly threatened, her brother's helpless retreat—she even faced obstacles in being with the person she liked. Everything revolved around strength; if she had powerful strength, she wouldn't be threatened and could do whatever she wanted.
At this moment, her heart held an infinite desire for the Inheritance Seed. It seemed as if there was a voice full of temptation within her that continuously urged her to fuse the Inheritance Seed into herself.
"The Wood Attribute Inheritance Seed and Wood Attribute techniques—could it all be coincidence?" Chu Yanran murmured to herself in confusion as she stood at the exit. She practiced Wood Attribute techniques; this Inheritance Seed was perfectly suited for her.
"I can't do this; this is what Brother Ren entrusted to me." After struggling for a long time, she still managed to suppress her desires and stepped forward into the exit.
"Yes, someone is coming out." Many martial artists outside the Sword King Tomb were stirred. Their eyes were fixed eagerly on the Light Gate, where a glow indicated that someone was about to emerge.
"It's the princess; the princess has come out." Two elderly men changed their expressions and quickly positioned themselves to block several martial artists who were ready to act. They exuded an aura belonging to Supreme Experts, which immediately subdued many people.
"Qiao Lao, you have arrived." Chu Yanran, initially a bit nervous, felt relieved upon seeing them. However, turning around and noticing that many martial artists were still eyeing her covetously, she had no choice but to say, "I did not obtain the Heritage; you have seen my strength. I didn't even pass the test of the Inheritance Tower."
Then, regardless of whether others believed her or not, she walked aside with the two elderly men accompanying her, showing no intention of leaving. This dispelled many martial artists' suspicions, and for a moment, no one targeted her. The key was that with two Supreme Experts protecting her, they were simply not opponents.
"Princess, what you just said..." The elder named Qiao Lao could not help but ask softly.
"Yes, it's true. However, at least four people obtained the Heritage inside. When I came out, many were still fighting. Moreover, it seems that a King's Artifact has appeared; my strength is just too low," Chu Yanran said quietly. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it still caught the attention of many attentive martial artists.
"Four portions of Heritage and a King's Artifact has appeared." These revelations made their eyes widen in shock and immediately caused a huge stir among the martial artists.
"Girl, are you serious? There really are four portions of Heritage? And a King's Artifact has appeared?" The speaker was also a Supreme Expert who showed no fear of the two elderly men beside Chu Yanran.
"That's right. However, most of the King's Artifacts should have fallen into the hands of the Five Major Forces. I only caught a distant glimpse of it and am not particularly clear," she replied.
"The emergence of a King's Artifact and the Five Major Forces? Hehe..." The Supreme Expert's eyes gleamed as he smiled meaningfully.
"By the way, princess, we have received some bad news; the National Mother has been injured. It seems that the Evil Sect has been anxious due to not receiving a response from you," Qiao Lao said with a somewhat grim expression.
"What? Is my Empress Mother seriously injured?" Chu Yanran's expression changed dramatically as she angrily asked.
"Don't worry, princess; her injuries are not severe. The Sovereign was very angry upon learning this and is preparing to negotiate with the Evil Sect. However, given their formidable strength, we fear something unexpected might happen. They have changed their conditions: as long as we kill Ren Pingsheng, they will release the National Mother. As for the marriage matter, they said they would give you time to consider."
"What? How can this..." she said painfully.
"Princess, but this concerns the safety of the National Mother. Why go to such lengths for a man with no real power? The Evil Sect is stronger than our Great Chu Dynasty; it's just unavoidable."
"Just because they are stronger than us, does that mean they can do whatever they want?"
"Yes, if our Great Chu Dynasty were also at the third rank, why would we fear them? Unfortunately, becoming a King-Level Expert is too difficult. Our Great Chu Dynasty has been around for thousands of years and has yet to produce a single King-Level Expert."
"King-Level Expert? If one becomes a King-Level Expert, can they be free from all constraints? Can they no longer be threatened?" Chu Yanran murmured to herself. She needed power; she needed great power. At that moment, her last line of defense finally crumbled, and there was no more hesitation. She wanted to merge the Inheritance Seed; she wanted to become strong so that no one could threaten or coerce her in the future.
"Princess, what should we do now? If you find it difficult, we can take action."
"I want to save my Empress Mother; I cannot let her be in danger." She lowered her head and said hoarsely, completely obscuring her expression.
"Alright, I know what to do. Don't worry, Princess! I'll go make some preparations." Qiao Lao's face flashed with a hint of joy before he turned and left.
The Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, Tian Xie, ran away without thinking after seeing Ren Pingsheng unleash his power. He was worried that Ren Pingsheng would not let him off and fled directly from the Sword King Tomb. At that moment, he was accompanied by two elders, angrily saying something. Opposite him stood the elder named Qiao Lao, who had just left Chu Yanran's side.
"You are the one sent by Chu Mingxuan to handle this matter?"
"That's right; I am the one sent by the Third Prince to handle this matter. I wonder what instructions Young Master Tian Xie has?" Qiao Lao asked with a smile.
"Hmph, when Chu Mingxuan came to find me initially, he promised me a marriage with your princess before I agreed to support him. However, there is a new task for you to undertake this time. This is your chance to demonstrate your sincerity because I could easily accomplish this matter myself."
"Hehe, may I ask what Young Master Tian Xie wants us to do?"
"Hmph, go kill that brat named Ren Pingsheng and bring his corpse to me intact," the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, Tian Xie, said fiercely.
Upon hearing this, the old man named Qiao Lao's eyes flickered. He didn't expect it to be the same as the Third Prince's request. It seemed that no matter what, this Ren Pingsheng was doomed to die.
"This damned brat not only killed my most loyal guards in the Sword King Tomb but also stole a large batch of Spirit Stones we discovered. I must tear him to pieces."
After hearing this, Qiao Lao understood. So that's how it is. He had some doubts before, but now it made sense; no wonder this guy was so furious.
"Rest assured, Young Master Tian Xie, we will definitely bring Ren Pingsheng's corpse back. We won't touch anything on him," Qiao Lao assured.
"Hehe, good. I hope you can do it; otherwise, we will take matters into our own hands. If it delays your Third Prince's grand plan to seize the throne, don't blame me then."
"We will definitely succeed. We are not so old that we can't deal with a Martial Mastery warrior," he said before taking his leave.
"Hehe, Ren Pingsheng, you dare to steal my heritage? The moment you show up is your death sentence. No matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than a respected master?" Tian Xie laughed sinisterly. Everything that happened in the Sword King Tomb haunted him.
"A King's Artifact? That brat has the Demon Emperor with him; perhaps he really does have the fortune to obtain it. If that's the case, that would be wonderful—Demon Emperor's Legacy, King's Artifact." Li Yun whispered to himself from the back of the crowd.
"As for that Third Prince, he's just a prince. Even if he becomes Sovereign, what difference does it make? Since he also wants to deal with Ren Pingsheng, I might as well curry favor with him first. Once I obtain the Demon Emperor's Heritage, not just the Great Chu Dynasty but even this Snow State Land will be at my mercy."
Unbeknownst to them, a net had been cast outside—a deadly net that could claim lives at any moment. Everyone was quietly waiting for Ren Pingsheng.
