87: Three half-step quasi-emperors

She tidied up her emotions.

Dugu Nianyu also walked out of the main hall.

Since the azure emperor inheritance had found its inheritor, this space would soon collapse and disappear.

Taking advantage of the remaining time, she wanted to lead the Xuan Yue Dynasty people to search for treasures in the houses outside.

After all, she hadn't obtained a single item from the Inheritance Main Hall, and if she didn't find some treasures outside, she would gain nothing from this trip.

"Ninth Princess, we..."

Seeing Dugu Nianyu emerge,

the Xuan Yue Dynasty royal men guarding the entrance stepped forward, wanting to explain why they didn't stop The Four Night Owls.

But before they could finish speaking, Dugu Nianyu waved her hand, cutting them off.

"Alright, no need to explain. I know you had difficulties, and I won't report it to His Majesty to punish you."

The reason she didn't blame these people was that the matter was already set in stone. Killing all of them would be meaningless and would only cause unrest in the Xuan Yue Dynasty.

Actually, The Four Night Owls entering the inheritance didn't pose a threat to her. It was her own greed that led to the current situation, so she couldn't blame others.

"Thank you, Ninth Princess!!"

A group of people, grateful to the point of tears, bowed to Dugu Nianyu.

They hadn't expected Dugu Nianyu to be so understanding, forgiving their transgressions without even a word of reprimand.

It seemed The Four Night Owls got along very well with Dugu Nianyu in the Inheritance Main Hall.

"You may all rise!"

Dugu Nianyu lightly raised her hand and continued, "The inheritance now has an owner, and this space is about to collapse. You all should form teams and go treasure hunting while there's still some time."

"Yes, Ninth Princess!!"

Everyone happily bowed upon hearing this.

Then they split into teams and scattered in all directions.

Only a portion of the Xuan Yue Dynasty's core members remained by Dugu Nianyu's side.

They didn't care who obtained the inheritance, because no matter who it was, it wouldn't benefit them at all.

So, finding treasures themselves was the only way to be well-fed and clothed.

"Let's go too!"

Seeing most people leave,

Dugu Nianyu, looking depressed, led the remaining Xuan Yue Dynasty core members in a random direction, preparing to hunt for treasures.

Although she said she was going treasure hunting, Dugu Nianyu had no interest in making a move.

Throughout, it was the Xuan Yue Dynasty's core members who were acting, while she merely watched from the side.

After all, having missed out on so many top-tier treasures in the Inheritance Main Hall, how could she still be in the mood to seize these lower-grade items?

As time passed,

the entire inheritance space began to collapse from the edges.

The Southern Domain cultivators, who were treasure hunting, all flew towards the exit when they saw this scene.

After The Four Night Owls plundered a two-story building, they also took the two Earth Venerables from Mu Xueqing's family and flew at full speed towards the exit.

Their gains from this azure emperor inheritance journey were immense; they even obtained Qing Yunzi's inheritance.

There was no need to risk staying here for these few treasures; it was better to leave early.

At the same time,

outside the inheritance space, above Azure Light City.

Zhao Fei and Nie Yu, and even the disciples of Wushuang Sect, each stood behind a Half-step Quasi-Emperor Elder.

They were scrutinizing every cultivator who emerged from the inheritance.

They were searching for the figures of The Four Night Owls.

Having been humiliated by The Night Owls in the secret realm, they had left early and reported the events inside to their respective Half-step Quasi-Emperors.

The Half-step Quasi-Emperor of Wushuang Sect had originally come to kill The Four Night Owls, but by the time he arrived, the group had already entered the secret realm, so he had to wait outside.

Under the gaze of the crowd,

one by one, cultivators from the Three Dynasties emerged from the inheritance entrance, but The Four Night Owls were nowhere to be seen.

However, soon, Dugu Nianyu emerged with a host of core Xuan Yue Dynasty members, making several people's eyes light up.

"Old Ancestor, those four guys are Dugu Nianyu's subordinates. She must know how to contact them."

"Yes, those four guys killed so many people from our two dynasties. We can't let them off easily; Dugu Nianyu must hand them over."

Zhao Fei and Nie Yu immediately became agitated upon seeing Dugu Nianyu emerge.

The invincible figures of The Four Night Owls had long become their nightmare, but now with a Half-step Quasi-Emperor present, their confidence began to swell.

After all, no matter how heaven-defying The Four Night Owls were, what kind of waves could they stir up under a Quasi-Emperor?

Of course, they weren't doing this entirely for The Four Night Owls, but rather for the azure emperor inheritance.

Dugu Nianyu entering the Inheritance Main Hall must have meant she obtained everything inside. They wanted to use this as an excuse to make Dugu Nianyu hand over a portion of the treasures, preventing the Xuan Yue Dynasty from monopolizing the azure emperor inheritance.

The Half-step Quasi-Emperor of Wushuang Sect remained silent, merely watching from the side.

Each of these three dynasties possessed true Quasi-Emperor Experts, which he couldn't afford to provoke at the moment.

The reason he was guarding this area was to kill The Four Night Owls and restore Wushuang Sect's reputation.

He knew that Dugu Nianyu had recruited The Four Night Owls, but now that the azure emperor inheritance was over, The Four Night Owls were useless.

He believed Dugu Nianyu wouldn't offend a power that rivaled the Three Great Dynasties for the sake of a few useless individuals.

"Hmph, why are you several families blocking here? Do you intend to harm my Nianyu?"

Seeing the people from the two great dynasties and Wushuang Sect trying to surround Dugu Nianyu and her group,

the Half-step Quasi-Emperor of the Xuan Yue Dynasty instantly appeared beside Dugu Nianyu, coldly sweeping his gaze over the three parties.

"Old Ghost Dugu, the people your Xuan Yue Dynasty recruited killed so many Earth Venerable elites from our two dynasties. You must give us an explanation, right?"

"That's right, Old Ghost Dugu, it's not that we want to harm this young girl. We just want an explanation."

The Half-step Quasi-Emperor Experts from Sheng Tian Dynasty and Ao Shi Dynasty said with smiling faces.

Of course, they wouldn't openly state that they wanted a share of the inheritance treasures obtained by the Xuan Yue Dynasty, but if the elder was unreasonable, they would certainly not let the matter rest.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Dugu, those four wantonly killed my Wushuang Sect disciples. My Wushuang Sect also requires an explanation."

At this moment, the Half-step Quasi-Emperor of Wushuang Sect also spoke up from the side.

However, he spoke politely, unlike the Half-step Quasi-Emperors of the two great dynasties, who rudely called the elder 'Old Ghost'.

Although he was of the same rank as the elder, there was still a gap between Wushuang Sect and the Xuan Yue Dynasty, so he couldn't be so casual.

"Heh heh, an explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?" Old Ghost Dugu sneered as he looked at the three.

How could he not know their intentions?

Aside from the Wushuang Sect people, who genuinely wanted to kill The Night Owls for revenge, the other two dynasties were after the inheritance treasures.

He had learned from those who emerged that Dugu Nianyu had entered the azure emperor inheritance.

And the people from the two great dynasties were chased and scattered by The Four Night Owls, with not a single one entering the inheritance.

If nothing unexpected happened, the azure emperor inheritance was already with Dugu Nianyu.

Now, with both parties wanting to use The Night Owls as an excuse to stir up trouble, how could he let them have their way?
