151: Su Meir comes out of confinement

Human Emperor’s inheritance?

The memories he possessed were of the first Human Emperor, and the Xuanyuan Sword was the first human emperor sword.

Therefore, the Human Emperor’s inheritance appearing in the Ancient Domain at this time must not be from the first Human Emperor, but from a Human Emperor of a later period…

When fellow practitioners meet, the less skilled one gets embarrassed.

Seeing Mu Wuchen show an interested expression, the officer immediately brightened and continued.

“Sir, guess what, the Human Emperor appearing in the world has been recorded several times in ancient texts, but this time it’s a bit special.”

“Oh? How is it special?”

“In all previous instances of the Human Emperor appearing, the inheritors were all men. This time, according to rumors, it’s a female Human Emperor!”

Oh, wow.

The Human Emperor is the supreme being of the human race; prestige and strength are both indispensable.

But most of the time, this role is held by males, and female Human Emperors seem to be very rare.

The appearance of a Human Emperor often signifies a great change about to occur, or the re-emergence of the human race.

However…

There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two masters among men.

Although he had no intention of becoming this Human Emperor, the Xuanyuan Sword was, after all, the treasure sword of the first Human Emperor.

Since he already held it, he could not tarnish its prestige.

Even if he didn't become this Human Emperor, no one else could.

So, regardless of whether she was a favored daughter of destiny or not, she could not become this Human Emperor…

Just then, Mu Wuchen’s heart stirred.

A long-unseen graceful figure once again appeared before Mu Wuchen’s eyes.

The beautiful woman’s slender waist swayed gently, her thin lips were exquisitely alluring, her pink eyes were misty with water, her charm was profound, and her gaze held deep longing…

As soon as the beautiful woman appeared, she flashed and merged her body into Mu Wuchen’s embrace.

Mu Wuchen reached out and tightly embraced her waist, then sealed her lips…

“Master…”

After a long while, hearing the long-missed soft voice, Mu Wuchen smiled faintly.

Su Meier had finally emerged from her seclusion in the System Divine Hall.

By this time, more than ten years had passed since Su Meier entered seclusion, and those ten-plus years in the System Divine Hall would equate to several millennia in the outside world…

The gap between a Demon Emperor and a Demon Venerable is a huge chasm, even far greater than the small realm differences within the Demon Venerable stage; a single word difference signifies a qualitative leap in strength.

A powerhouse at the Venerable realm is capable of influencing the existence of an Immortal Domain.

In the Heavenly God Domain and Ancient Domain, the strongest individuals openly known are only at the peak of the Emperor realm; as for whether there are any Venerable realm experts, it is unknown.

But even if there are, they are most likely outsiders.

The strength of an Immortal Domain determines the ceiling of its top powerhouses; in the Heavenly God Domain, the peak of the Emperor realm is basically the limit that its resources can support.

However, at this moment, a great Demon Venerable, an existence whose mere gaze could make all powerhouses in a domain tremble, was nestled in Mu Wuchen’s embrace, like an obedient kitten, gently receiving Mu Wuchen’s caresses…

But with the little fox’s return, it seemed his cheap master was no longer needed…

After a long while, the two finally separated.

Several days later, Ancient Domain Xiao Family.

Originally, it would have taken Mu Wuchen over a month to reach the Xiao Family, but with the little fox’s breakthrough, their speed had increased significantly.

Moreover, with Su Meier leading the way, Mu Wuchen could focus on cultivation, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The Ancient Domain is different from the Heavenly God Domain; the Heavenly God Domain’s territory is composed of various dynasties, with countless dynasties self-governing and only needing to regularly submit resources to the major sects. The sects’ management of the various dynasties is also more relaxed.

The Ancient Domain, however, is different; it is ruled by numerous aristocratic families, giving these great families greater and more centralized power. Their industries penetrate every core area of the entire Ancient Domain.

Auction houses, elixir pavilions, and various high-quality resources are all firmly controlled by these major families…

Led by Xiao Ziyan, Mu Wuchen and the others proceeded unimpeded, quickly arriving at the heart of the Xiao Family.

Along the way, Mu Wuchen was surprised to find that the members of the Xiao Family seemed to have an extreme fondness for the color purple. Over eighty percent of the core members wore purple robes and purple garments, with a very unique “Xiao” character embroidered on their chests. Even non-core members had special purple patterns on their clothing…

“Grandpa Xiao Lei, please inform father that Ziyan has returned.”

Upon seeing Xiao Ziyan return, an old gatekeeper immediately rejoiced, then transformed into a streak of purple lightning and vanished with a “whoosh.”

About ten minutes later, the old man returned and spoke to the group.

“Come on, your father is waiting for you in the hall.”

“Miss, who are these two?”

Halfway there, the old man named Xiao Lei looked at Mu Wuchen and Su Meier and asked in confusion.

Xiao Ziyan paused slightly, then secretly glanced at Mu Wuchen before replying.

“Grandpa Xiao Lei, this is…”

Then she paused.

“My man.”

But upon hearing Xiao Ziyan’s words, the old man Xiao Lei’s expression changed somewhat. He became serious and then spoke.

“Miss, please be careful with your words. You are the little princess of the Ancient Domain Xiao Family, the future heir of the entire Xiao Family. Even if you truly fancy someone, they should marry into the Xiao Family. Do not say such things again.”

Xiao Ziyan was noncommittal and did not reply to Xiao Lei.

The current her was no longer the her of the past.

She was no longer Xiao Ziyan of the Ancient Domain, nor even Xiao Ziyan of the Xiao Family.

But her every word, every action, every move, affected the fate of the entire Xiao Family.

Xiao Ziyan had long seen that Mu Wuchen had a strong personality and would never be threatened by anyone.

Even someone as powerful as Su Meier was as docile as a cat in front of him, never even revealing her cultivation in Mu Wuchen’s presence, and even more so, not daring to defy that man…

Xiao Ziyan vaguely had a feeling that if Mu Wuchen wished, he could even snap Su Meier’s neck at any time…

Xiao Ziyan estimated that if she were to rely on the Xiao Family’s power at this moment and fail to position herself correctly, putting pressure on Mu Wuchen, the entire Xiao Family could very likely be led into an irredeemable situation by her…

“Miss, please go in yourself. Your father is waiting for you inside. Remember, do not say those words again.”

Xiao Lei reminded her with a serious expression.

His meaning was clear: he wanted Xiao Ziyan to go in by herself, and Mu Wuchen to wait here for now.

He wanted to use this method to remind Mu Wuchen that this was the Ancient Domain, and this was the Xiao Family.

However, upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyan’s expression grew colder.

“Elder Xiao Lei, please mind your status. This is a private matter of my Xiao Family’s direct lineage. You, an outer elder, should not interfere…”

Only then did her demeanor truly resemble that of the Xiao Family’s little princess, the future heir of the Xiao Family…

Immediately, Xiao Ziyan respectfully stood behind Mu Wuchen and smiled slightly at him.

“Brother Chen, let’s go in.”

She had no formal title and didn’t know what exactly to call Mu Wuchen, so she simply called him “Brother Chen,” which was both intimate and appropriate.

Mu Wuchen glanced at Xiao Ziyan, nodded slightly, and stepped into the Xiao Family’s main hall…

The Human Emperor’s inheritance?
