85: Qingyunzi

"Wow, so many treasures! We've really struck it rich this time."

"Hehe, with so many things, it truly lives up to being the core of the entire azure emperor inheritance!"

Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing looked at the treasures above their heads with excited expressions.

These treasures, each encased in a spherical bubble, densely covered the entire hall.

Although they didn't emit any aura, anything found in the inheritance hall wouldn't be bad.

If they could collect all these treasures, their trip wouldn't have been in vain.

Night Owl's expression was calm, not paying much attention to the items above.

Since they had entered, and Dugu Nianyu hadn't collected these treasures yet, they were already theirs for the taking, so there was no need to pay too much attention.

"You... how did you get in?"

At the innermost end of the hall, Dugu Nianyu was sitting cross-legged on a futon, staring wide-eyed at Night Owl and the others with a shocked expression.

Beside her stood a phantom Middle-aged Man in a green robe, who was also curiously observing The Four Night Owls.

"Heh heh."

Night Owl chuckled and replied calmly, "Both sides have been driven back by us; no one will attack the inheritance hall anymore, so we came in to search for treasures."

"Hiss, driven back?"

Dugu Nianyu gasped, her expression turning ugly.

Of course, she understood what Night Owl's words meant.

Now that the four of them had acted and driven back the people of the Sheng Tian Dynasty and the Ao Shi Dynasty, there were no enemies, and her agreement with them was terminated.

Now, the four of them could go anywhere to search for treasures, and even competing with her for the inheritance would not be a breach of promise.

This was not what she had expected.

In her imagination, The Four Night Owls should have been outside, fighting to the death with the two dynasties until she obtained the inheritance.

But now, in less than an hour, the people of the two great dynasties had been driven back.

She really couldn't imagine how The Four Night Owls had managed it.

The Sheng Tian Dynasty and the Ao Shi Dynasty had over ten thousand Earth Venerables combined. Even if The Four Night Owls were powerful in combat and had the cooperation of the Xuan Yue Dynasty cultivators, it shouldn't have been this fast.

"What to do, what to do?"

Dugu Nianyu was so anxious she was almost crying.

Now, The Four Night Owls had no agreement with her. If they wanted to monopolize the entire inheritance hall, she would be completely helpless.

Seeing Dugu Nianyu on the verge of tears,

Night Owl found it somewhat amusing, so he spoke up, "You don't have to worry. We won't snatch anything from you. Everything in this inheritance hall that you can take belongs to you."

"That's right, Ninth Princess, don't worry, we won't harm you or take your things."

Gu Chen and the other two also assured her from the side.

"Really? As long as I obtain it, you won't snatch it?"

Hearing Night Owl and Gu Chen's assurances,

Dugu Nianyu stopped her tears and asked somewhat blankly.

The reason why there were still so many treasures above The Four Night Owls' heads was that in the time she had been in the inheritance hall, she hadn't focused on those treasures, but rather on finding Qing Yunzi's inheritance.

Because all those treasures were encased in small formations, it would take an unknown amount of time to break them one by one.

However, once she obtained Qing Yunzi's inheritance, all these treasures would automatically become hers.

Therefore, the phantom beside her and the futon she sat on were precisely a wisp of Qing Yunzi's will and the artifact for receiving the inheritance.

If The Four Night Owls hadn't burst in just now, Qing Yunzi would have already infused the inheritance into her body.

If what Night Owl and the others said was true, then the moment she obtained the inheritance, everything in the inheritance hall would belong to her.

"Of course, we people of Qingtian Sect always keep our word." Night Owl replied earnestly.

"Good, I hope you can keep your promise."

Dugu Nianyu nodded and looked at the phantom beside her, saying, "Senior Qing Yunzi, we can continue with the inheritance."

After Dugu Nianyu finished speaking, she closed her eyes, ready to receive the inheritance.

Qing Yunzi had just praised her as a one-in-ten-thousand genius and had already decided to pass on the inheritance to her, so she wasn't worried at all that The Four Night Owls could snatch it.

Seeing Dugu Nianyu about to receive the inheritance,

The Four Night Owls said no more and walked to a corner, preparing to use brute force to break the formations and collect the treasures suspended in the air.

"Young friends, do you want these treasures in the hall?"

Qing Yunzi's phantom will did not infuse the inheritance into Dugu Nianyu; instead, he asked The Four Night Owls with a smiling expression.

"Sen... Senior, what do you mean by this?" Qing Yunzi's words startled Dugu Nianyu, who suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a panicked expression.

Qing Yunzi not infusing the inheritance into her, and instead saying such words to The Four Night Owls, even a pig would understand the meaning.

He was taking a liking to Night Owl and the others, preparing to pass the inheritance to them.

Facing Dugu Nianyu's questioning, Qing Yunzi, in his phantom state, did not get angry; instead, he replied with a smile.

"Little girl, earlier only you came in, so this old man had no choice. Now that there are other candidates, this old man naturally has to choose the best one."

After Qing Yunzi finished speaking, he looked at The Four Night Owls with a hopeful expression.

When he first entered the hall, only Dugu Nianyu was there alone. Seeing that Dugu Nianyu had good talent, he didn't want to wait any longer and was prepared to pass the inheritance to Dugu Nianyu.

But now that Night Owl and the others had come in, the situation was completely different.

Because the talents of Night Owl and the others were such that any one of them was stronger than Dugu Nianyu, how could he still choose Dugu Nianyu?

The Four Night Owls looked at Dugu Nianyu and Qing Yunzi, their expressions somewhat troubled.

They weren't fools; they naturally understood the meaning behind Qing Yunzi's actions.

However, they had just said they wouldn't snatch anything from Dugu Nianyu, and now, in the blink of an eye, Dugu Nianyu's inheritance was about to change hands.

Although this was all Qing Yunzi's voluntary choice, they still felt a little embarrassed.

So, Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing spoke up to refuse.

"We'll take the treasures ourselves; you should still give your inheritance to her."

"That's right, we'll take the treasures ourselves. Your inheritance is dispensable to us."

Night Owl and Qin Fei'er didn't speak, but their calm expressions said it all.

Hearing that Gu Chen and the other two actually refused Qing Yunzi,

Dugu Nianyu's small mouth dropped open in shock; she couldn't believe it was true.

This was a quasi-emperor inheritance!

Gu Chen and the other two refused it just like that. One should know that although there were many treasures in this inheritance hall, the most precious was Qing Yunzi's inheritance.

Even if Night Owl and the others obtained those treasures, they would only gain some top-grade Saint Realm and quasi-emperor realm natural treasures. Whether they could break through to the quasi-emperor realm in the future was still unknown.

But if they obtained Qing Yunzi's inheritance, as long as they absorbed it completely, there would be a high chance of breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm, which was far stronger than some natural treasures.

She couldn't understand whether Night Owl and the others simply didn't know, or if they truly disdained the quasi-emperor inheritance.

If it was the latter, that would be truly terrifying.
