Chapter 615: Blessing in Disguise

Hearing this voice, everyone from the Dao Yi Sect felt it was very familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before, but they couldn't recall it for a moment.

Meanwhile, the others were busy breaking the seal on the gate.

One side had already been completed; they only needed to break the other side to successfully open the gate.

As for the black shadow inside the main hall, sensing that the people outside showed no sign of stopping, it also grew somewhat panicked.

As it paced back and forth, the tiger clan stripes on its body could be faintly seen.

"Damn it, are these people deaf to words?"

"We can't let them open the gate; we can only continue to speak stiffly."

"You all retreat at once, or else I won't be polite."

The voice sounded again, but this time everyone simply chose to ignore it. "Impolite? Ha, how could a Great Emperor still exist in this emperor's tomb?"

"Moreover, even if there really were a Great Emperor, would it need to spout such nonsense?"

"Having been offended like this, the Great Emperor would have already struck out; even with so many Great Saints present, they probably couldn't stop him."

So the crowd not only had no intention of stopping, but on the contrary became even more anxious.

Because, at some unknown point, a mysterious figure had suddenly appeared in the main hall; who knows whether he had obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance.

If someone got there first, we'd probably all end up crying to death.

Even the Great Saint of the Yunluo Holy Land sped up his pace at this moment.

Stars were restored one by one to their remembered positions; as the formation diagram was perfected, two beams of light lit up, and the seal on the gate vanished instantly.

Afterward, under everyone's gaze, the gate slowly opened.

"It's open."

"Good."

At last they had succeeded; the crowd cheered, and then the people of the Yunluo Holy Land rushed in first.

The others followed closely behind, except for the Great Saint of the Celestial Dragon Holy Land, who wore a strange expression and looked around.

Why haven't they arrived yet? Where did the other folks from the Celestial Dragon Holy Land run off to?

Seeing no sign of them, the Great Saint of the Celestial Dragon Holy Land also entered with a grim face.

This emperor's tomb is a demon emperor's mausoleum; compared to other forces, the Celestial Dragon Holy Land places greater importance on it.

After all, the demon emperor's inheritance is absolutely a tremendous aid to the cultivation of the demon race.

Therefore, despite the strange situation, the Great Saint of the Celestial Dragon Holy Land still had no intention of giving up; having come this far, how could he shrink back at the final step?

Meanwhile, the Dao Yi Sect side followed along without showing any emotion.

As the crowd entered the main hall, the originally quiet and dark hall instantly became lively.

Everyone curiously surveyed their surroundings.

However, the main hall seemed to have nothing special; it was very spacious and lacked much decoration.

Only deep within the main hall lay a skeleton, white and eerie.

This is...............

Soon, everyone's eyes fell upon the skeleton, their faces full of shock.

This turned out to be the remains of a Great Emperor; judging by its appearance, it should be of the tiger clan.

Great Emperor's remains...............

The Great Saints of the Yunluo Holy Land, the Undying Holy Land, and the Celestial Dragon Holy Land all spoke up.

They were probably the only ones present who had seen a Great Emperor's remains before; although it wasn't their first time, they were still utterly stunned.

Merely a corpse, yet the aura it emanated still made their scalps tingle.

As they kept looking, someone noticed something off; a Great Saint of the Undying Holy Land's face turned strange.

"This remains isn't right—where is the Emperor's Pearl? Why isn't there an Emperor's Pearl?"

A Great Emperor's body always condenses an Emperor's Pearl, and the Emperor's Pearl is also where his lifetime's inheritance gathers after his fall.

In past emperor's tombs that appeared in Zhongzhou, the Great Emperor's remains always contained an Emperor's Pearl.

But the Great Emperor's remains before us lack an Emperor's Pearl; the only explanation is that someone got there first and took it.

Someone has already obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Saints of the Yunluo Holy Land and the Undying Holy Land, everyone present was stunned.

They had come here with great effort, only to be told that the Great Emperor's inheritance was gone, making it hard for many to accept.

Although, under normal circumstances, even if the Emperor's Pearl were still present, it wouldn't be their turn.

But now it's gone in a muddled way—what are we to think?

Everyone's face was grim, when suddenly someone spoke.

"Just now there was someone inside the main hall—could it be him?"

"He must be that thief; everyone, find him."

"Not bad; after we entered the main hall, no one has come out yet, so he must still be hiding inside."

Recalling the earlier voice, the crowd was certain that the mysterious person had obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance, for there was no one else.

Saying that, they began to search all around; just then, a sudden clamor of fighting came.

Then came a miserable scream; immediately afterward, everyone saw a black shadow dash toward the hall's exterior at great speed.

Seeing this, the Three Holy Lands reacted fastest, and their Great Saints instantly moved to act.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"This person has obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance; there's no way we'd just let him leave."

Under the concerted blockade of the many Great Saints, the black shadow was soon intercepted and then fell into a siege by numerous Great Saints.

As they fought, the Great Saints discovered that this person was actually only a Demon King.

A Demon King actually obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance; this really made them furious.

"Speaking, is the Great Emperor's inheritance with you?"

He attacked while questioning.

"No, I'm just passing through."

"Passing through?"

You damn think we're three-year-olds? This hall was damn full of restrictions; even getting them in took a lot of effort, and you damn tell me you just passed through?

How could you possibly pass through here?

"You crafty little thief, catch him first and talk later."

Regardless, having concluded that the Great Emperor's inheritance must be on this person, the group of Great Saints directly planned to move in and suppress him.

But, facing the multitude of powerful beings from the Three Holy Lands, this guy was extremely weird; by dodging left and right, he actually wasn't captured.

This is absurd; logically, a demon king, let alone facing a group of Great Saints, even a Demon Emperor, one-on-one could be suppressed in an instant.

But now, the Great Saints of the Three Holy Lands all attacked simultaneously, yet they could do nothing against this guy.

And as the fight went on, the true appearance of this mysterious guy was finally revealed to everyone.

But as soon as the Dao Yi Sect people saw this guy, they immediately killed him.

"Holy shit, how could it be this stupid tiger?"

Xu Jie was the first to speak; the unfortunate soul currently being besieged by the group of Great Saints was none other than the Sha Hu from Huling, formerly a lackey of the Heihu Yaowang.

But back then, what level of cultivation did it have? After such a short time without seeing it, it has already broken through to the Demon King realm.

Having recognized Sha Hu, the Dao Yi Sect people became even more certain that this guy must have obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance; otherwise, it would be impossible for his cultivation to break through to the Demon King realm in such a short time.
