84: Enter the Hall of Inheritance

"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Gu, everything is done. Shall we go treasure hunting?"

Seeing Night Owl emerge from the Slaughter Mist, Qin Fei'er quickly spoke up.

They had promised Dugu Nianyu to go all out once, and now that the agreement was fulfilled, they were no longer bound by the promise.

"Yes, it's time for us to find treasures for ourselves."

Mu Xueqing nodded, echoing from the side.

"Alright, let's go."

Gu Chen replied, preparing to fly away from the Inheritance Hall to search for treasures elsewhere.

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er were also ready to follow closely.

"Stop, I say, Junior Brother Gu, and two Junior Sisters, if you want to find treasures, why are you flying away? Isn't the highest-level treasury of the azure emperor inheritance right before your eyes?"

Night Owl stopped Gu Chen and the two women, pointing to the Inheritance Hall in front of them.

Since they had fulfilled their promise, they had no more connection with Dugu Nianyu. If Dugu Nianyu could enter this Inheritance Hall, then of course they could too. Why seek far and wide for treasures elsewhere?

"Senior Brother Ye, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Gu Chen hesitated.

In his opinion, Dugu Nianyu had already entered the inheritance, and it would be somewhat improper for the four of them to go in again.

If they were to clash with Dugu Nianyu inside, should they kill her or what?

"That's right, Senior Brother Ye, Ninth Princess has already gone in. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to snatch things from her?" Mu Xueqing also chimed in.

Qin Fei'er didn't speak, but judging from her expression, her thoughts were similar to the other two.

"I say, why are you three so pedantic? We've fulfilled our promise, so there's no more employment relationship with her. Treasures and opportunities belong to the capable. Why shouldn't we go in?"

Night Owl looked at the three of them, displaying an expression of disappointment.

Their relationship with Dugu Nianyu was originally one of mutual utilization.

Now, the three of them were still unable to let go of their sense of propriety, truly valuing face over treasures.

They had to remember, if they hadn't entered Qingtian Sect, they would probably have to risk their lives to contend for the azure emperor inheritance. How could they have time to chat idly here?

"Senior Brother Ye is right, we were being pedantic."

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and felt that Night Owl's words made sense.

Since their employment relationship with Dugu Nianyu had ended, there was no longer any need for propriety, and they shouldn't give up on the treasures they ought to seek.

They couldn't miss out on so many treasures just for a bit of face.

"Alright, then let's go in and take a look."

"Mm, but we should still try our best not to clash with Ninth Princess."

Mu Xueqing and Qin Fei'er were also persuaded by Night Owl and agreed to enter the Inheritance Hall.

"Hehe, as long as she doesn't deliberately cause trouble, we won't bother her. If she's unreasonable, then we'll just have to make her face reality."

Night Owl chuckled and walked towards the Inheritance Hall.

Gu Chen and the two women followed closely behind, ready to enter the Inheritance Hall together.

"You... you can't go in. This inheritance already belongs to my Xuan Yue Dynasty."

The Xuan Yue Dynasty royal man guarding the entrance stammered when he saw Gu Chen and the three approaching.

Everyone from the Xuan Yue Dynasty behind him looked nervous, staring at the four.

Some were even ready to flee if a fight broke out.

The four had spoken without concealment earlier, and they had heard everything clearly.

Knowing that the four no longer belonged to the Xuan Yue Dynasty's side, if a fight started, they didn't know how long they could last.

Now they could only pray that the royal man in front of them would back down and not clash with The Four Night Owls.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to follow the example of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty people.

"Either move aside, or die!"

Night Owl spoke coldly.

A terrifying killing intent emanated from him, causing the nearby Xuan Yue Dynasty people to retreat sharply.

Although they had just been on the same side, since there was no longer any relationship, he would not be polite.

The royal man closest to Night Owl faced his killing intent directly and was so scared that he slumped to the ground.

With a terrified expression, he shouted at the people around him.

"Move aside, move aside, let them in!"

Originally, he had wanted to die for his country, to block The Four Night Owls for a while, so that Dugu Nianyu would have more time to acquire things from the inheritance.

But as soon as he felt the killing intent from Night Owl, he immediately changed his mind.

Because the mere killing intent from Night Owl was almost suffocating him, he couldn't imagine how ferocious Night Owl would be if they actually fought.

So he felt it was better for him to stay alive. As for Dugu Nianyu in the Inheritance Hall, that would depend on her own fortune.

After all, Night Owl had said that as long as Dugu Nianyu didn't provoke him, nothing would happen.

"Yes, yes, quickly move aside, quickly let the young masters and young ladies in."

Hearing the royal man's words.

The surrounding Xuan Yue Dynasty cultivators happily cleared a path.

They didn't want to stop Night Owl and the others in the first place, so now that the royal man had spoken, why would they block the way?

Seeing everyone wisely make way.

The Four Night Owls didn't say anything more, walking straight through the crowd towards the Inheritance Hall's door.

Under the gaze of several thousand people, they slowly pushed open the main door and walked inside.

"Bang!"

The heavy door closed with a loud thud.

"Phew, those killing gods finally left."

"It's good that they left. If we fought them, our thousands of people wouldn't stand a chance."

Seeing the Inheritance Hall door close, the several thousand Xuan Yue Dynasty cultivators guarding outside all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dugu, isn't what we did inappropriate?"

"That's right, if Ninth Princess finds out that we let them in directly, she might report it to His Majesty. Then we'd still be dead, and our families might even be implicated."

Several sons of Xuan Yue Dynasty ministers spoke with concern beside the royal man.

According to the laws of the Xuan Yue Dynasty, harming a direct royal family member could lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

By letting The Four Night Owls in, Dugu Nianyu was constantly in danger.

They had saved their lives for now, but if Dugu Nianyu came out and truly held them accountable, they would still die, and perhaps even more miserably.

The royal man also looked worried, "What can I do? If I didn't let them in, I'd die now. If I did, there's still room for alleviation. I hope Ninth Princess can understand our difficulties."

He actually didn't have as many worries as these sons of ministers. If he were truly executed, only he would die.

As a collateral member of the royal family, the extermination of nine generations wouldn't apply to him, so he wasn't as afraid.

"Alas, that's all we can do. I hope Ninth Princess can understand our plight."

The others sighed helplessly.

They could only blame The Four Night Owls for being too terrifying in combat. They couldn't bring themselves to rush to their deaths, even knowing it was futile.

Inside the Inheritance Hall.

The Four Night Owls stood on a floor paved with top-grade spirit stones.

Around the hall, glowing treasure pearls were embedded in the pillars, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

And above the heads of the four.

Pieces of top-grade saint realm treasure and quasi-Emperor level treasures floated in the air.
