Chapter 938 Difference
Rong Yuqing of course understood Chen Yang's meaning.
Whether this missing Celestial Venerable before them was real or not was still a matter of debate!
Did they expect to stop just like that with a single sentence or two?
"Since we juniors have disturbed senior, we will now offer our apologies here." Rong Yuqing's tone held a hint of reluctance.
The spiritual power of the Missing Celestial Venerable nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing these words.
The Missing Celestial Venerable initially thought these people would give up. However, to his surprise, Rong Yuqing continued, "However, senior has only left behind a wisp of spiritual power for inheritance. Our Tianji Linglong faction actively seeks heroes from all walks of life. If this inheritance can remain with Tianji Linglong, I believe we can find the most suitable person for it in advance."
At this statement, everyone's eyes turned to Rong Yuqing.
Even Zhou Zeyao, standing beside her, couldn't help but glance at Rong Yuqing more than once.
To present the matter of vying for inheritance with such a seemingly logical and well-founded argument, coupled with such thick skin, was truly remarkable.
The spiritual power of the Missing Celestial Venerable, instead of getting angry, let out a chuckle. "If you had been born a few years earlier, even your ancestor would not have been your match!"
The Missing Celestial Venerable had thought that Pavilion Master Rong of Tianji Linglong was already quite skilled, but he never expected her descendant to surpass her.
"However, you do not need to trouble yourself with this matter. I have already chosen my successor."
"If you truly wish to contend for it, then be careful."
"Although my strength has greatly diminished, I can still shatter this space with all my might and take you all down with me!"
The spiritual power of the Missing Celestial Venerable fluctuated, and it was evident that he was suppressing his inner rage.
A flicker of fanaticism ignited in Rong Yuqing's eyes.
An inheritance from a Celestial Venerable, if it could truly be preserved…
Even if the recipient of the inheritance did not absorb all of its power, they would still be far stronger than ordinary martial artists.
In this current turbulent era.
Rong Yuqing knew that with each additional strong individual, her chances of winning, or her opportunity to survive, would increase.
Although the two had not yet exchanged blows, the palpable tension of a standoff, like two armies facing each other, was clearly felt by everyone present.
At this critical juncture, Rong Yuqing suddenly looked at Chen Yang and shrugged helplessly, "You win, I don't dare to make a move."
Everyone looked at Chen Yang in confusion.
Chen Yang and Rong Yuqing had been communicating via telepathy just moments ago.
The others had not heard a word.
But Rong Yuqing had genuinely spoken it aloud…
Chen Yang's face darkened. He was being set up to take the blame!
Chen Yang had indeed intended for Rong Yuqing to test the remaining strength of the Missing Celestial Venerable's spiritual power.
However, now that Rong Yuqing had given her answer, Chen Yang had to respond.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Since that is the case, senior, please proceed!"
The Missing Celestial Venerable's eyes narrowed. He had sensed the fluctuation emanating from the young man moments ago, and it was clearly from a telepathic exchange.
Rong Yuqing's sudden probe seemed to be related to this fellow!
"Since you have all traveled a great distance, and you are not enemies, you should be considered guests. If you don't mind, please wait for a moment on the Left Peak?"
The Missing Celestial Venerable's spiritual power did not possess much sense of security. After all, he was not acquainted with these individuals.
Even if they were acquainted… one could not be too careful!
The Missing Celestial Venerable had seen too many insidious and cunning individuals.
On the way to the Left Peak, Dong Cang, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke to Chen Yang in a low voice, "Chen Yang, aren't we going to guard him?"
Rong Yuqing and Zhou Zeyao did not understand the meaning of Dong Cang's words.
Guard him?
What was there to guard here?
But Chen Yang's heart was clear as day.
Guard Luo Xiaohao!
In the eyes of Rong Yuqing and Zhou Zeyao, Luo Xiaohao was merely an ordinary person, with an insurmountable gap between them.
But in the eyes of Chen Yang and Dong Cang, Luo Xiaohao was indeed an ordinary person.
However, for years, they had been protecting these very ordinary people.
The vast majority of these ordinary people did not even know of the existence of martial artists.
Yet, Dong Cang was willing to sacrifice everything for this cause.
And many of the martial artists he had trained had already sacrificed themselves for it.
What Rong Yuqing and Zhou Zeyao considered meaningless, was the very reason for Dong Cang's existence.
The martial arts contest between the great sects and the inheritance of a Celestial Venerable were the most meaningless matters to Dong Cang.
Now, to suddenly put an ordinary person in the face of a Celestial Venerable's spiritual power.
Dong Cang was naturally worried.
Chen Yang shook his head, "I asked Luo Xiaohao before we entered. This is his choice."
"If you were to follow him, the Missing Celestial Venerable would absolutely not bestow his inheritance upon Luo Xiaohao, because he would not trust you and me."
"This is a chain of suspicion."
"Of course, if Luo Xiaohao were to truly die here…"
Chen Yang's tone suddenly changed at this point, "Then this place would cease to have any reason to exist!"
At this moment, Zhou Zeyao and Rong Yuqing finally understood the worry in the two men's hearts!
They were concerned about such an ordinary person?
Rong Yuqing looked at Chen Yang strangely, "I was very curious just now, why did you bring such a person in? Could it be that you know him?"
Rong Yuqing thought for a long time but couldn't understand. Chen Yang had always been with her.
The first time Chen Yang and Luo Xiaohao met, they clearly didn't know each other.
Yet, this stranger, whom Chen Yang not only wanted to give the inheritance to but also valued his life so highly?
Could it be some sort of homosexual affection?
"Of course, the two of us don't know each other. This is also the first time I've met Luo Xiaohao."
"Can a treasure truly open that huge stone gate?"
"Without internal energy to activate it?"
"I suspect the Missing Celestial Venerable's spiritual power has already been tested by Luo Xiaohao, which is why he has this intention."
Chen Yang explained a couple of sentences, but Rong Yuqing still didn't fully understand.
However, just as Rong Yuqing was about to ask further, Zhou Zeyao, standing beside her, stopped her.
Unlike Rong Yuqing, Zhou Zeyao had awakened much earlier and had absorbed a significant amount of memories, always acting as Zhou Zeyao.
He had a deeper understanding of the current world.
There was a significant difference between the martial artists in the world today and those from their era.
If one had not personally experienced it, Rong Yuqing would not be able to comprehend it.
Zhou Zeyao now finally understood why Chen Yang was doing all of this.
Although it seemed to offer no benefit, it achieved the most important thing in the hearts of Chen Yang, Dong Cang, and the others!
