Chapter 539

The leading assassin, Luo Sha, let out a heart-wrenching roar that reverberated within the stone sword. At this moment, he felt a sense of despair, as if he would rather die.

The Heavenly Kill Alliance had prepared for tens of thousands of years to find a way to break the seal. As soon as the relic was opened, the barbarians came. This was a coincidence, a stroke of luck. He could only accept it.

In a short period of time, all his subordinates had been killed by the barbarians. He was furious, but the barbarians were strong. For the sake of the Heavenly Kill Alliance's inheritance, he had to accept it.

However, a monstrous assassin like him had been injured by a barbarian in the middle stage of the Zephyr Realm. Moreover, he had been suppressed since the beginning of the fight. This was a great humiliation. However, for the sake of the inheritance, he had to accept it.

He had to accept everything, just to obtain the inheritance here. Therefore, he had sacrificed all his subordinates to fight for a chance of survival. This chance of survival allowed him to enter the stone sword first. Logically, he would be the first to obtain the inheritance.

However, looking at the small stone sword in front of him, Luo Sha was in despair. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He was in so much pain that he felt like dying. He even had the urge to kill himself immediately.

Inside the huge stone sword was an empty hall. In the center of the hall, there was a small stone sword. There were obvious grooves on both sides of the stone sword, which should be where some kind of artifact was placed or where the inheritance was.

However, at that moment, the stone sword's surroundings were completely empty. There was no inheritance at all. Furthermore, after the stone sword released its last burst of killing intent, it became ordinary and unremarkable, becoming an ordinary item.

The Heavenly Kill Alliance had spent tens of thousands of years and generations of geniuses searching for various ways to break the seal before finally opening this place. They did not expect that it would be an empty inheritance.

Tens of thousands of years of hard work had gone down the drain.

However, this was not the most infuriating thing. What made Luo Sha the most infuriated and pained was the line of ancient words on the stone sword that was only tens of thousands of years old. He recognized it at a glance and read it.

"Ao Baichuan was here."

This line of words seemed to be lamenting, but it was more like a taunt. This was the source of Luo Sha's agitation.

Others might not know who Ao Baichuan was, but as an assassin of the Heavenly Kills Union, Luo Sha knew very well, especially the leader who had opened the ruins.

This remnant had been discovered by Ao Baichuan and the Heavenly Kill Union's assassins. Both sides had even fought because of it. Who would have thought that Ao Baichuan's strength would be so extraordinary? After that battle, the Heavenly Kill Union's assassins had all died except for one monstrous genius who had escaped with serious injuries.

When the monster killer returned, he even mocked Ao Baichuan. So what if he found the ruins? He only had a chance once every thousand years. He, Ao Baichuan, had no hope of coming here again. Moreover, Ao Baichuan was a loose cultivator with no power behind him. He was destined to have no fate with the ruins.

For the past 65,555 years, the assassins of the Heavenly Kill Union had always wanted to open this place and obtain the lost ancient inheritance of the Heavenly Kill Union. However, they had never expected that this inheritance would have been taken away by the other party 65,555 years ago.

"Ah." Luo Sha screamed. His voice was shrill and he could not help but cough up a mouthful of blood. He almost fainted.

The monstrous genius senior's joke 65,555 years ago was a little too much. It was a huge blow to Luo Sha. All his hopes were dashed.

In the outside world, Zi Chen and the rest did not know what was going on. They thought that the other party was in trouble. After all, there were inexplicable dangers in the remnant. Therefore, they were all on guard and slowly rushed in.

Monk maintained his strongest defense and walked in front with the Sword of Light in his hand. Zi Chen followed closely behind and looked around vigilantly.

However, after entering, they did not find any danger. They did not even see Luo Sha's figure. All they saw was a pool of blood.

"Be careful." Zi Chen said and signaled everyone to guard the entrance. He then looked around.

This place was completely empty. It was clear at a glance. Everyone's gazes finally landed on the small stone sword.

However, when they saw the words on it, they were dumbfounded. Those ancient words were not very old. Those who had a little knowledge of ancient words could recognize them.

"Ao Baichuan was here."

Seeing this almost joking handwriting, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became even more strange.

"Ao Baichuan. Could it be Ren Tu?" Wang Qiong's expression changed. He was a little stunned. He had been to Ao Baichuan's burial ground before.

"Master, could it really be Master's words?" Lv Peng and Zhang Haotian were also shocked.

In their memories, they only knew one person called Ao Baichuan, who was the famous Human Butcher. His strength was unbelievably strong, and he had once stopped a riot in the land of savages by himself. He was almost the first person in the land of savages after the Wuji Sect was destroyed.

Seeing the words on the stone sword, everyone finally understood why the leader of the killers let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Obviously, the inheritance was long gone. It was obtained by Ao Baichuan.

While everyone was gloating, they could not help but feel disappointed. This was an ancient inheritance, and it was gone just like that. However, when they thought about it again, if the two Ao Baichuan were the same person, then the inheritance here was indirectly obtained by them.

Lv Peng obtained Ren Tu's formation inheritance, while Zhang Haotian obtained the assassination path.

Since the Heavenly Kill Union's people were so nervous about this place, perhaps this inheritance was related to the Assassination Dao. An inheritance related to the Assassination Dao, coupled with Ao Baichuan's name, if this was not a coincidence, then this Ao Baichuan was the famous Butcher.

It was just that Ren Tu was only flying back then.

"There's a stone door there. Perhaps the inheritance is inside." Suddenly, the devil ape transmitted. He had been hiding in the dark and did not show himself.

Behind the stone sword, there was a stone door that was already open.

"Let's go and take a look."

There was clearly no inheritance here, and there were no traces of the leader of the killers. Since the stone door was open, the leader of the killers should have barged into the stone door. Everyone followed.

The order was the same as before. The monk with the strongest defense was in front, followed by Zi Chen, and the others followed behind.

After passing through the stone door, the group found a stone passageway. On both sides of the passageway, there were several stone doors. Among them, the stone doors closest to the group had already been opened. Moreover, they could vaguely hear the sounds of the stone doors opening in the depths.

"It must be the leader of the killers. I'll go and kill him."

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes as he rushed forward. At the same time, a silver light flashed in his hand, and the Silver Soul Spear appeared.

Now that Shangguan Qixiang was dead, the Silver Soul Spear no longer had an owner. Zi Chen could take it out and use it without any qualms. As soon as Zi Chen left, everyone felt a gust of cold wind blow past them. The Devil Ape's figure flashed and followed after him.

The devil ape had the Delusion-breaker Eye, which could see through all illusions. He could see all traces of the killers. In front of the devil ape, the killers had nowhere to hide. Moreover, with the devil ape going with Zi Chen, the chances of the leader of the killers surviving were not high.

The monk watched as Zi Chen's figure disappeared. Then, he looked at the Sword of Light in his hand and felt upset. After all, he still had to return the Sword of Light to Shangguan Bingxi, but he didn't have to return the Silver Soul Spear.

"I was the one who killed Shangguan Qixiang."

The monk mumbled until Zi Chen's figure disappeared completely. Then, he retracted his gaze and swallowed his saliva unwillingly.

Beside him, Wang Xian 'er pursed her lips and laughed secretly. Seeing such a greedy monk, Shangguan Bingxi also smiled.

Then, under the monk's lead, everyone walked towards the stone doors.

Behind every stone door was a stone room. In the past, there seemed to be some items placed in the stone rooms, but now, they were empty.

They searched eight stone rooms one by one, but they didn't find anything. Every stone room was very clean, as if they had been carefully cleaned. They couldn't even find a speck of dust.

"How could this be? Could it be that Ao Baichuan took all of them?" The monk was unwilling to give up and continued searching.

After searching the sixteenth stone room, they still didn't find anything. At this moment, they heard the sound of energy waves coming from the depths of the room.

Apparently, Zi Chen had caught up with the assassin, and both sides had started fighting. Wang Shan and the rest were shocked and wanted to rush over. After all, he was the enemy who killed their brother. Even if they didn't do anything, they had to watch him die.

"With Zi Chen and the Demon Ape, this sneaky guy will definitely die. You should stay here," the monk said, trying to persuade Wang Shan.

Wang Shan nodded and dismissed the idea of going over. Apparently, Zi Chen could easily deal with the leader of the assassins, but it also meant that Wang Shan could easily deal with him. If the latter rushed over, the leader of the assassins might want to drag him down with him.

After searching all the stone rooms and finding nothing, the group was completely disappointed. Many of the stone rooms were closed, and the leader of the assassins didn't open them. However, there was nothing inside. Apparently, Ao Baichuan had taken them away.

The battle was still ongoing. The group continued to move forward and found traces of blood on the ground. Apparently, it was left behind by the previous battle.

After a while, the battle ended. Zi Chen returned with the Silver Soul Spear, but he didn't look happy.

"Why, he didn't die?"

"He ran away." Zi Chen was depressed.

"He ran away? Is there an exit in this place?" The group was surprised.

"There is a transmission array. Elder Mo has confirmed that it leads to the outside world."

Zi Chen said unhappily. Seeing that the assassin was about to die, who knew that he would be so lucky. He stepped into the array and disappeared.

"Leads to the outside world." The monk frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that it leads to the inheritance?"

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Impossible. Elder Mo has confirmed that it is the transmission array that leads to the outside world."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, Elder Mo also said that if he guessed correctly, the entrance we came from should have been sealed."

After that, the group began to return. When they reached the hall, they found that the entrance was indeed sealed.
