Chapter 1652

"Yes, we need to think of a way to deal with these troubles," Seeing Xiao Yifeng said.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of loud laughter.

"Hahaha, the people of Wangu City really have some skill, to actually be able to drive back so many of us." A middle-aged man in a black robe stepped out, looking at the two with a cold smile as he spoke.

"Who are you?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked warily.

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is whether you can leave here today," the black-robed man said.

"What do you want?" Bai Susu asked coldly, her fists clenched tight.

"I want to make a bet with you. If you win, we'll leave here immediately and never trouble Wangu City again," the black-robed man said.

"What kind of bet?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked.

"Each of us picks one person to compete. Best of three wins," the black-robed man said flatly, looking at the two.

"And what if we lose?" Bai Susu asked.

"If you lose, that depends on my mood," the black-robed man said coldly.

"Fine, let's compete!" Seeing Xiao Yifeng said without hesitation.

"Very well, pick your people," the black-robed man said.

After a brief discussion, the two decided that Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu would each face one of the opponent's two people. Once the contest began, the two sides went back and forth, launching into an intense battle. In the end, the match concluded with Seeing Xiao Yifeng's victory and Bai Susu's defeat.

"Dammit, we lost!" Bai Susu said angrily.

"Don't be discouraged, we still have a chance," Seeing Xiao Yifeng said to comfort her.

The black-robed man looked at the two with a cold smile. "Now that you've lost, prepare to face the consequences!"

Having said that, the black-robed man was about to leave with his subordinates. At that moment, a voice suddenly came from afar:

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing this, the black-robed man immediately stopped in his tracks. Everyone also looked toward the direction of the voice. They saw an elder walking over from afar, and everyone hurriedly bowed in greeting:

"Greetings, Elder!"

The elder nodded and, looking at the black-robed man, said, "You've lost this wager. You may leave now."

The black-robed man was taken aback. "And you are?"

The elder said calmly, "I am the Second Elder of Wangu City, and also one of Emperor Jiuxiao's disciples."

The moment the black-robed man heard the four words "Emperor Jiuxiao," a fanatical gleam immediately appeared in his eyes. "You're a disciple of Emperor Jiuxiao? Then you must possess Emperor Jiuxiao's fortune?"

The elder said calmly, "Yes, I possess Emperor Jiuxiao's fortune, and I once received his inheritance."

Hearing this, the black-robed man's gaze grew even more fervent, and his tone became even more respectful. "Then might I ask if you could also impart Emperor Jiuxiao's fortune and inheritance to us?"

The elder said calmly, "Emperor Jiuxiao's fortune and inheritance cannot be imparted casually. Only those who possess the golden pearl can truly receive his inheritance."

The black-robed man was somewhat disappointed, but still unwilling to give up. "Then we could become your disciples as well. Could you take us in?"

The elder said calmly, "I will not teach you the Nine Heavens Martial Dao, because I cannot casually impart Emperor Jiuxiao's inheritance to outsiders."

The black-robed man was somewhat unwilling to accept it. "Then could you give us some fortune?"

After a moment of contemplation, the elder said, "I can give you some fortune left behind by Emperor Jiuxiao, so that you may better cultivate the martial dao."

Hearing this, the black-robed man immediately became excited. "Really? Then thank you so much!"

The elder took a small bottle from his bosom and handed it to the black-robed man. "This is fortune left behind by Emperor Jiuxiao. It can make it easier for you to comprehend the martial dao."

The black-robed man took the small bottle, examined it carefully, and then left with his subordinates.

Watching the black-robed man's retreating figure, the elder said calmly, "I hope you can grasp this opportunity well and not make the wrong decisions again."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu also looked at the elder with some surprise. "Laozu Sect, why did you help them?"

The elder said calmly, "Although these fellows are ruthless, they are not entirely without conscience. Moreover, if they can truly grasp the essence of the Nine Heavens Martial Dao, it would also be a good thing for Wangu City."

Hearing this, Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu also felt it made sense, and said no more.

A month passed quickly, and Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu successfully completed their mission of guarding Wangu City. During this time, the two went through many trials and obtained quite a bit of fortune.

"It's finally over!" Bai Susu said with emotion.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng also nodded and said, "Yes, this past month has been far from easy."

As the two were reflecting, they suddenly heard a burst of footsteps.

"Who's there?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu immediately asked warily.

They saw an old man in a blue robe slowly step out, looking at the two with a faint smile as he said, "Congratulations on successfully completing this mission."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu did not let down their guard. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The blue-robed old man said calmly, "I have come to send you away from here."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu exchanged a glance, knowing full well the other party was no ordinary person. "Who are you? Why do you want to send us away?" Bai Susu asked.

The blue-robed old man said calmly, "I am Emperor Jiuxiao's junior martial brother, and also the guardian of Wangu City. I know you have already obtained Emperor Jiuxiao's fortune and inheritance, but I would still like to give you one more gift."

As the blue-robed old man spoke, he took a small golden box from his bosom and held it out before the two.

"What is this?" Bai Susu asked, looking at the small box with some confusion.

"This is the last gift left behind by Emperor Jiuxiao, and also his most precious possession," the blue-robed old man said.

Hearing this, Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu immediately became immensely excited. They carefully took the small box and examined it closely. They saw that the small box was engraved with some complex runes, emanating a faint golden glow, looking very mysterious.

"What's inside this box?" Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked.

The blue-robed old man said calmly, "Inside this box is a wisp of Emperor Jiuxiao's divine soul. He left behind his final inheritance and fortune."

Hearing this, Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu immediately opened the small box. They saw a small golden pearl inside, emitting a faint glow.

"What is this?" Bai Susu asked, looking at the small pearl with some confusion.

The blue-robed old man said calmly, "This is Emperor Jiuxiao's Inheritance Brother Brother Zhuzi. It contains the martial dao essence and cultivation insights of his entire life."

Hearing this, Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu could not help but feel immensely shaken. They had not expected Emperor Jiuxiao's Inheritance Brother Brother Zhuzi to be so precious.

The blue-robed old man continued, "This Inheritance Brother Brother Zhuzi will only be passed on to those who possess the golden pearl. Only those who possess the golden pearl can truly receive Emperor Jiuxiao's inheritance."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng and Bai Susu immediately held the Inheritance Brother Brother Zhuzi in their palms and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Laozu Sect!"

The old man in the green robe nodded slightly, "You two must cultivate diligently and strive to become true heirs of Emperor Jiuxiao soon."
