Chapter 305: Chapter 306: Legacy (Part 5)
“If there’s a chance, I will make a trip to the Xiao Family,” Mu Ruyue nodded.
The cultivation of martial artists is endless; the stronger the person, the longer their lifespan. Therefore, if those people from back then had broken through to another stage, they would still have a few hundred years to live.
Unfortunately, Elder Xiao’s life is coming to an end, and he has only a few days left…
“However,” Mu Ruyue’s eyes slightly shifted, and she silently smiled, “Elder Xiao, I believe you would prefer to witness in person the regret of those who drove the Ancestor out of the Xiao Family.”
Elder Xiao was startled for a moment, then helplessly shook his head: “I can’t wait that long.”
“No, you can!” Mu Ruyue lifted her head to look at Elder Xiao, her gaze filled with determination, “Although at my current level as an Earth-grade Peak Alchemy Master I can only extend your life by three years, once my strength breaks through, I’ll be able to create a ten-year lifespan elixir. Afterwards, even a hundred-year lifespan elixir, so I will definitely let you wait until that time! To witness with your own eyes the remorseful expressions of the Xiao Family in the Central Province.”
In fact, Mu Ruyue held great respect for Elder Xiao.
This old man truly devoted his life to the Holy Realm Xiao Family, and in the end, to protect the people of the Xiao Family, he didn’t hesitate to give up his own life. Even for the sake of her parents, she would help Elder Xiao extend his life.
“To witness those people’s regret in person?”
Elder Xiao slowly closed his eyes…
In this moment, before his eyes seemed to emerge the sycophantic faces from when the Ancestor, as a genius, was in his prime. After the downfall, they ridiculed and mocked him; truly, a tiger fallen to the plains, prey to dogs. Back when the Ancestor dazzled the world, those people couldn’t lick his boots enough, yet in the end, they kicked him while he was down…
If he could see their regretful expressions, even if he were to enter the netherworld, he would be able to tell the Ancestor about it.
It must be said, Mu Ruyue’s words struck a chord in his heart and kindled a new hope within Elder Xiao, who had been intent on dying…
“Young Miss, I must admit, you surpass the Ancestor in excellence.”
Perhaps once she entered the Central Province, the Central Continent would surely be turned upside down by her…
“I, too, wish to see those people’s regretful expressions, so, I accept your proposal,” Elder Xiao’s heart relaxed as he spoke with a faint smile, “Let’s begin receiving the inheritance left by the Ancestor now, you just need to walk over to that pillar, and a single drop of your blood on it will suffice…”
Mu Ruyue looked up at the stone pillar not far away, took slow steps towards it, and following Elder Xiao’s instructions, let a drop of fresh blood into the pillar. Suddenly, a blood-red light spread out, and with a buzz, a powerful force surged directly into Mu Ruyue’s mind, and a series of scenes emerged before her eyes…
“Welcome, my descendant.”
An aged voice seemed to fall into Mu Ruyue’s mind from nowhere, as if from a distant place, yet as though right next to her ear…
Mu Ruyue did not speak, because that ethereal voice once again echoed in her mind.
“I do not know how long it has been since my passing, nor do I know who you are. This is merely a piece of consciousness I left behind before I died. Just now, Elder Xiao must have told you about the past of the Xiao Family. I hope you can avenge me, but remember, always prioritize the safety of the Xiao Family. I do not wish for you to bring danger upon the Xiao Family in your quest for my revenge…”
