Tell the inheritance, the Nine Netherworld is in danger

After listening to Shen Fan's narration, Li Waner fell into deep thought.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and asked, "What Legacy did the Corpse King pass on to you?"

Seeing this, Shen Fan quickly asked the Corpse King, "You said, if I tell them about the Heaven and Earth Puppet Score and the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails, will they make me hand them over?"

The Corpse King said, "Li Waner definitely won't, but the current power holders within the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect probably will make you hand them over."

"Then do you have any way to prevent them from forcing me to hand over these things?"

The reason Shen Fan told Li Waner was actually because he wanted to use these things openly.

Otherwise, if he didn't tell them and used them secretly, once discovered, he would definitely be suspected, and then the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect would certainly regard him as a thorn in their side.

...

The Corpse King mused, "You can also tell them about the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails. This is my natal Magical Artifact. They usually won't do anything to you if they know, unless there are people who defy this king and want to forcibly take it. Then there's nothing that can be done.

However, if you encounter such a situation, you can summon the gold, silver, and bronze zombie corpse puppets. When they see this, they should be wary."

Shen Fan frowned slightly and said, "But these zombie corpse Puppets are all dead now. I can't even control them!"

Shen Fan had been studying how to use these Thirty-Six Gold-Armored Corpse Puppets, Seventy-Two Silver-Armored Corpse Puppets, and one hundred and eight Copper Armor Corpse Puppets for a while, but he had gained nothing.

The Corpse King's answer was that they had not been maintained for over three hundred years, which led to their disrepair and inability to be used.

These things are actually like machines; if not maintained, they are just scrap metal.

The Corpse King said, "These zombie corpse Puppets have existed for anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand years. To revive and use them, they can only be nourished with vital essence to restore their vitality, but vital essence is precious, as you know!"

"Only vital essence?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan's eyes immediately lit up.

"What? Are you going to use your own vital essence to nourish them?"

The Corpse King faintly sensed that something was amiss.

"Heh heh, I have plenty of this stuff!" Shen Fan said with a laugh.

However, now was not the time to try.

Facing Li Waner's question, Shen Fan directly confessed, "The Corpse King gave me the sect's highest secret method, 'Heaven and Earth Puppet Score,' and his natal Magical Artifact, the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails!"

"Re... really?"

Upon hearing this, Li Waner began to tremble all over.

Then her expression changed, and the way she looked at Shen Fan immediately became respectful and submissive.

Immediately after, she straightened her clothes and tidied her hair.

Then, she knelt on one knee before Shen Fan and said, "Li Waner, fourth-generation Disciple and current Senior Sister of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, greets the Corpse King's Legacy recipient!"

"Ah? This!"

Shen Fan was immediately confused by this turn of events.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Shen Fan quickly helped Li Waner up.

Li Waner explained, "You don't know, the Corpse King once left instructions that whoever accepts his Legacy shall become the successor of our Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect. Since the Corpse King is still alive, and our sect has a Saintess overseeing the big picture, logically speaking, even the Saintess must hand over authority to you."

"No, no, no! This is too troublesome, I don't want this!"

Shen Fan waved his hands repeatedly, refusing.

"This is not up to you. Unless the Saintess agrees, I will truthfully report this matter to the Saintess and all the Elders. You should be prepared!"

At this point, Li Waner's gaze towards Shen Fan suddenly became incredibly sorrowful.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Seemingly sensing Li Waner's thoughts, Shen Fan asked in confusion.

"Actually..." Li Waner bit her lip lightly, as if she had made a decision, and sighed.

"Sometimes I feel quite guilty. Your gaining the Corpse King's Legacy is indeed not a good thing for you. Once the news of the Corpse King's Legacy reaches the Elders and the Saintess, they might become greedy and might ask you to hand over the Legacy and the Corpse King's natal Magical Artifact!"

"What if I don't give it?"

Shen Fan hadn't expected Li Waner to say such words to him.

This couldn't help but make Shen Fan develop a slight fondness for Li Waner.

"If you don't give it, your life might be in danger, unless they can remain loyal to the Corpse King and let you manage the authority of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect!"

Li Waner said this, then laughed self-deprecatingly.

"But, over three hundred years have passed, and rescuing the Corpse King has become a distant hope. How could they possibly do that?"

Seeing this, Shen Fan comforted her, "Senior Sister, I know you're worried about me. Here, I sincerely thank you. In fact, if it weren't for you, I would probably be dead by now. I will always remember your help to me, so I still want to call you more intimately, Waner-jie!"

"Really?"

Li Waner's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, and her gaze towards Shen Fan held an unimaginable emotion.

"If you're willing, call me that from now on. I also think it sounds more intimate. So, we have a deal, from now on, you're not just my Junior Brother, but also my younger brother, okay?"

As Li Waner spoke, she pulled Shen Fan into her embrace without question.

Shen Fan was immediately startled, then he felt his head enveloped by something soft, making it even difficult to breathe.

In this enjoyable yet challenging process, Shen Fan quickly broke free from the embrace.

"Uh, Waner-jie, if they want this Legacy, I can give it to them, but you might not know that this Legacy was taught by the Corpse King's Divine Soul, and it's all in my mind. Whether they can comprehend it depends on their Comprehension Ability!"

Are you kidding me!

The Heaven and Earth Puppet Score, even the Corpse King cultivated it for an unknown number of years to reach the third layer. If Shen Fan orally taught it to them, what could they possibly comprehend!

Without the Heaven and Earth Puppet Score, they couldn't use the Thread Puppets.

Furthermore, the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails also require the Six Paths Soul Burial Art to control them.

It's very difficult to take them away no matter what.

If they try to take them by force, then Shen Fan wouldn't mind summoning the gold, silver, and bronze zombie corpse puppets to give them a shock!

"Oh, right, Waner-jie, do you want to learn this Corpse King's Legacy? I can teach it to you now!" Shen Fan suddenly said.

"Let's not!"

Li Waner waved her hands repeatedly, refusing.

This thing had already become a fatal curse within the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect.

If she coveted and learned it, she might be directly stripped of her Divine Soul by the Elders.

"Alright then! You go tell the higher-ups of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect about this. I'll head back to Tianxuan Sect first. I want to see what kind of place Zhan Yue Peak is!"

Seeing Shen Fan preparing to leave, Li Waner quickly called out to him.

"Uh, that Senior Sister from your inner sect came again last time. She might be preparing for the Four Sects Tournament and is a bit short on money, so she plans to do another business deal. This is a good thing, why don't you take advantage of it?"

"This? Is it appropriate?"

Shen Fan couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

In his mind, Qiao Linger's long, beautiful legs immediately appeared.
