C51 (2/2)

”Oh, oh, okay. I'll try.” Lin Xiao realized that this was a chance for him to obtain the inheritance of great power.

With a casual wave of her hand, a spatial door suddenly appeared. He was the first to enter, and Ye Qinglin and Xiao Yun followed closely behind him.

This was a cave made of strange black stones, stalactites and stalactites were everywhere in sight.

The three of them arrived at the foot of a flight of steps. Yuan You pointed to the stone platform at the top of the nine steps and said, ”Once you get there, you will be able to obtain the inheritance of the Lord.”

You can obtain the inheritance just by going up the stairs? Lin Xiao was secretly happy in his heart. Wasn't this way too simple?

Lin Xiao could not help but walk up, but he was soon unable to cheer up. As he reached the second step, he felt as if there was a mountain on his back. The pressure of a thousand jin caused him to lower his head.

He did not want to give up. Flames ignited from all over his body, and using the flames to offset some of the pressure, he successfully stepped onto the sixth step. When he tried to step onto the seventh step, the pressure was like a flood.

Ye Qing hurried over to Lin Xiao's side and hugged him. At this moment, Lin Xiao was bleeding from his nose and mouth. His expression was extremely tired, but his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

”If I were a little stronger …”

”It's useless,” Yuan You shook his head, ”The nine steps don't depend on one's strength, but on one's aptitude and fate. One must have both in one's body in order to climb up.”

Lin Xiao heard these words and felt a bit helpless. It seemed that his own talent wasn't high enough.

”Girl, go and try.” Yuan You looked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was stunned, he pointed at himself in disbelief: ”You're talking about me?” It was Lin Xiao who had trapped her, so how could she have the chance to try it out?

”That's right, you.”

After receiving her confirmation, Ye Qing nervously and excitedly came to the front of the nine flights of stairs. Both Lin Xiaoyuan and Ye Qing nervously stared at her.

Ye Qing took a deep breath and stepped onto the first step. There was no reaction. She went up to the second step, and the third step still felt no pressure.

At this moment, Yuan You's eyes were burning with passion.

”Continue.”

Hearing Yuan You's urging, Ye Qing once again took a step forward. It was only when she finally stepped on the ninth step that she felt an overwhelming pressure. She hastily circulated her cultivation to resist, but it still didn't work.

At this moment, she jumped up to the ninth step and waved her hands, causing the pressure to disappear without a trace.

”Although it is a bit unsatisfactory, at least you've passed. You can obtain Lord Ze Shui's inheritance.” Yuan You's words rang in Ye Qing's ears, causing her to feel as though she was in a dream.

After the trial had ended, Lin Xiao followed Ye Qing to the ninth floor. Ye Qing was still in a daze, unable to believe that she had truly obtained the inheritance.

”Thank you, thank you, Lord Netherworld.” Ye Qing thanked Yuan You excitedly after a long while.

”This is your own opportunity. It has nothing to do with me, so there's no need for you to thank me. However, if you obtain the inheritance, you must do something.” Hate appeared in Yuan You's eyes.

”What is it?” Ye Qing asked, while Lin Xiao made a guess. The hatred in Yuan You's eyes allowed him to see something.

”Kill the eight generals!” ”In the past, it was precisely the eight generals who were shameless and fought in groups. Only after that did Lord Ze Shui leave behind some hidden injuries, and after one round of cultivation, those hidden injuries receded, and he finally passed away. The eight generals are the main culprits, so after obtaining Lord Ze Shui's legacy, you have to avenge him.”

Ye Qing was put in a difficult position. The inheritance of an almighty figure like Ze Shui was definitely not a small temptation, but the eight generals were from the Demon League. Killing him would become an enemy of the Demon Court, and in the future, there would never be a peaceful day for them.

”Is this the final wish of Lord Zishui?” Lin Xiao suspiciously looked at Yuan You.

Yuan You gave a cold humph. ”Naturally, it's Lord Ze Shui's last wish. Brat, are you suspecting me?”
