Chapter 360: Surging Undercurrents

Hearing this voice,

Lu Li couldn't help but look up.

The visitor had low-hanging eyebrows, and strange spirit light flickered in his muddy eyes. Under the cover of a blue-purple robe, he was unfathomable, making it impossible to see any expression or thoughts.

"I am Ling Yao of Linghui Peak. Like Elder Lu, I am one of the eighty-one peak elders of this Saint Martial Profound Sect." The old man smiled.

"You were waiting for me?" Lu Li asked.

"Hehe, a few days ago, the movement of Elder Lu opening that inheritance of thousands of years in the Treasury Pavilion alarmed the entire Saint Martial Profound Sect." Elder Ling Yao said with a light smile.

"Are you here for that inheritance?" A sharp edge flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

"It seems that Elder Lu doesn't welcome me very much." Ling Yao's smile remained unchanged, "Doesn't Elder Lu want to hear the conditions?"

"No need."

Lu Li snorted coldly.

"You should know that this inheritance belongs only to me."

"Of course."

Elder Ling Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Above the Emperor realm, one can pass on the inheritance through the Great Dao Profound Sound. Before Elder Lu breaks through to the Emperor realm, this inheritance cannot be engraved and extended to pass to others. Even a sect like the Saint Martial Profound Sect has no means to take it out of your body. However..."

"However what?" Lu Li asked.

"However, for some factions, these are not problems. As long as Elder Lu is willing to agree, everything is easy to talk about." Elder Ling Yao looked over with a calm voice.

Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

Great Dao Profound Sound!

Formed by borrowing the power of the Great Dao!

Before becoming an Emperor, it is fundamentally impossible to grasp.

And this is also the reason why Lu Li couldn't extract the Xuan Shui True Sect's inheritance from Ouyang Xue's mind, and why Yuan Cheng couldn't extract the Nine Li Wild Person's inheritance from his body.

But there is nothing absolute!

As long as one possesses Emperor-realm means, all of this is not a problem.

But the problem is, the current Saint Martial Profound Sect clearly has no Emperor-realm powerhouses!

"Interesting!"

Lu Li smoothed his eyebrows, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face: "Then I don't know which faction Elder Ling Yao was bought by? There are not many factions in the Sheng Xing Court that possess Emperor-realm powerhouses."

"That is not something Elder Lu needs to worry about. Elder Lu only needs to say whether you agree or not." Elder Ling Yao waved his hand, refusing to answer.

"But in that case, don't you think it's too much of a child's play?"

Lu Li shook his head.

"Asking me to hand over a peerless inheritance without letting me know which faction I am trading with—for me, there is no guarantee at all."

"You only need to know that your so-called guarantee doesn't exist. As long as you hand over that inheritance, the faction behind me can protect your life." Elder Ling Yao said.

"My life doesn't need you to guarantee it." Lu Li said faintly.

"Heh, that's because you still don't know the situation of the Saint Martial Profound Sect."

Elder Ling Yao sneered.

"The Saint Martial Profound Sect has been declining for hundreds of years and has long been targeted by major factions. If it were in normal times, they would still restrain themselves a bit, but now that the great war between the Sheng Xing Court and the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Nest has started, do you think they can still hold back?"

"You broke in recklessly and obtained that peerless inheritance. If you don't seek my protection, I'm afraid you will finally perish together with this Saint Martial Profound Sect."

"So what?" Lu Li asked back.

"In that case, you are not prepared to hand over that peerless inheritance?"

A sharp light flashed in Elder Ling Yao's eyes.

In his body,

powerful origin surged up.

"Why, angry from embarrassment, preparing to take it by force?" Lu Li remained unmoved.

"Then don't blame me. Suppressing you at this moment, I can also get the response of the faction behind me and leave calmly."

Elder Ling Yao finished speaking,

and the origin in his body was immediately raised to the extreme.

Between this cave abode, terrifying power surged out, wind and clouds rolled, transforming into thousands, a giant palm cut across the long sky, blocking the entire cave abode, brilliant and intense, blooming with incomparable terrifying power, making it impossible to resist.

"Saint King, huh?"

Lu Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

On the ninety-nine eighty-one peaks of the Saint Martial Profound Sect, besides Li Shenxian, the sect master's personal disciple, the sect elders all had cultivation above the Saint realm. In Lu Li's perception, this Elder Ling Yao clearly exceeded the limit and reached the Saint King realm.

However...

"This little power wants to suppress me; it's too confident."

Lu Li made no move.

Just at the moment the giant palm fell, a point of Jiemie starlight appeared. The starlight was ruthless in killing, like the ultimate light of the universe, piercing through the palm with a speed that no one could resist.

"Whoosh!"

The palm print was destroyed.

In Elder Ling Yao's eyes, there was full of incredulity.

Lu Li's background!

He had investigated it clearly long ago.

He only broke through to the Saint realm not long ago. Although he fought one against three in the fierce beast battle in the Third Realm of the Sheng Xing, it was only a battle between Saint-realm people. With his Saint King realm cultivation, it shouldn't be easy to take him down.

Originally!

In his imagination!

After instantly suppressing Lu Li, he would immediately activate the layout of the faction behind him and escape the Saint Martial Profound Sect.

Just helping the faction behind him obtain this inheritance,

everything done before was worth it.

But now!

He hadn't even completed the first step!

"How could this be?"

In his heart,

a big question arose.

At this time, Lu Li walked slowly to his side and shook his head lightly: "Strength is not just what the naked eye sees. A mere Saint King realm, you are not worthy of acting wildly before me."

"Besides, I also hate those who betray the sect."

As the words fell,

Lu Li slapped his palm casually, causing his entire body to collapse and disappear completely.

And just after he finished all this, outside the cave abode gate, several figures appeared one after another: "Elder Lu, we sensed origin fluctuations here. Did something happen?"

"Come in."

Lu Li let everyone in.

The leader!

Was Yuan Cheng's personal disciple, Li Shenxian.

Lu Li looked over and recounted everything that had just happened.

"What, Elder Ling Yao has already betrayed the sect?"

"How could this be? Elder Ling Yao joined the sect a hundred years ago and is one of the few Saint King-realm powerhouses in the sect!"

"How could such a person suddenly betray the sect?"

Everyone was shocked and discussed.

Their gazes all fell on Lu Li again.

According to what Lu Li said,

the battle just now!

Happened between him and Elder Ling Yao.

That Elder Ling Yao had already died in his hands.

And according to what they knew, that Elder Ling Yao had broken through to the Saint realm for decades, far from being comparable to ordinary powerhouses. But judging from the spirit power fluctuations just now, the battle lasted for only an instant.

If they hadn't been nearby, it would have been very difficult to perceive.

This Elder Lu only just entered the Saint realm!

How could he possess such powerful means to instantly kill a Saint King-realm powerhouse!

Everyone was suspicious.

At the very front, Li Shenxian's voice came over.

"All elders, go back. I will handle this matter."
