It was getting late and with Huang Xiang’s sudden departure, the matter was left unsettled.

Within a room in the inn, Long Chen held up the metal slate as he carefully examined it.

That metal slate was the one he had obtained from the Burning Heaven Mountain Plains.

“I have had this thing for a few days, but still haven’t had a chance to carefully a.n.a.lyse it. Xiao Xi, tell me, how do I make use of this thing?”

The fact that even with similar levels of strength, Long Chen still slightly lost to Huang Xiang and that made him feel extremely stifled.

In previous encounters, his martial techniques were always superior to others. He never thought that someone else would come out on top of him, especially when the other party was the one who initially provoked.

Even though he said nothing, Long Chen was in a foul mood.

Ling Xi had always been interested in the mysterious metal slate but never had the time to examine it. Now, she appeared from the Lingxi Sword, her tiny body circling the metal slate on the desk. Finally, she sat on the desk with her hands propping up her frowning face.

“What happened?”

“This is clearly the key to an inheritance, and you must wait until you find this legacy before you can use it. However, there is a trace of a barrier upon it, and it looks as if it hasn’t…”

Ling Xi clasped her delicate chin pondering while Long Chen left her to her thoughts. After a while, Ling Xi suddenly became excited as she exclaimed, “I got it, this is definitely a concealed barrier!”

“What is a concealed barrier?”

“It is a type of barrier that is difficult to detect because it requires concealment. When they laid the barrier only a minute amount of Qi was used. An average person would find it difficult to sense it in a barrier, but I, your Lady, is amazing!“

Ling Xi rolled her eyes at Long Chen.

Long Chen pretending to flatter her entreatingly, “Miss Xixi, you see…. ”

“Do you want me to help you undo it? It’s very simple. You just have to get me some spirit healing medicine. “

Long Chen promptly agreed: “Alright, alright, after I go to Yuanling City, I will immediately go to the Daybreak Merchants Union to buy you some medicines!”

Having gotten Long Chen’s a.s.surance, Ling Xi snorted and focused wholeheartedly on breaking the barrier.

Originally, she liked to act wilfully and caused scenes. However, once she entered the work-mode, she immediately became incomparably serious. Long Chen too dared not disturb her and simply took advantage of this time to practice his cultivation.

After roughly a quarter of an hour, a tiny light formation appeared atop the metal slate.

Seeing the appearance of this light formation, Long Chen knew that the removal of the barrier was mostly done.

“Because it is a concealed barrier, only a small amount of Qi was used so it is relatively easy to remove it. Your lady, I, will be able to finish this in a bit!”

While in the process of carefully removing the barrier, Ling Xi’s lip curled as she smiled smugly at Long Chen, putting on a seemingly spiteful front.

During the Bai and Yang Family’s wedding reception, Long Chen had spoken to her harshly for the first time. Also in the battle over the Soul Diffusion Fruit, he had made her feel like a coward who was afraid of death. At this moment, she wanted to prove to Long Chen that she is still very useful!

“Next time, if you dare to say any more nonsense to me, then your lady, I, will not help you with anything!”

“Yes yes, Great Aunt, I am aware of my mistakes……”

Ling Xi was very easy-going and her eyes lit up as she hurriedly returned into the Lingxi Sword.

Just like the time she broke the barrier on the [Seal of the Dragons], as soon as she was finished she quickly returned to the Lingxi Sword.

“After opening the barrier, I also don’t know what will happen when it opens. Something may burst out instantaneously at that moment, which could be harmful to my soul so I must return immediately. ”

As for Long Chen, he focused intently on the metal slate. Suddenly, the metal slate emitted flames and burnt a large hole through the sandalwood desk. Moreover, the flames continued spreading outwards.

Long Chen’s body tensed; if this metal slate spread its flames explosively, much like in the Burning Heavens Mountain Plains, Yuanyang city would likely be destroyed.

Fortunately, the flames only spread out half a metre before stopping. The metal slate was engulfed by the ball of flame half a meter in diameter, as it floated in midair.

Long Chen wanted to know what was going on when suddenly the ball of flame took the rough shape of a man’s face. An immense yet mysterious aura suddenly surrounded Long Chen’s body.

The man’s image within this flame simply looked at Long Chen and then promptly faded away. However, his voice remained continuously echoing in Long Chen’s ear.

“You could find the concealed barrier… I guess your luck isn’t bad. I hope you will not waste my inheritance….”

This ancient voice gave Long Chen the shivers. Fortunately, it faded quickly, leaving Long Chen filled with doubts.

“Why would a man’s face appear within the flame?”

“Maybe it’s the residual consciousness of the man. He is most likely dead long ago. However, if he were capable of leaving behind a trace of himself on the metal slate, he must have been pretty good when he was alive…”
