But now, the Human Palace's ultimate treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword, had appeared before him.
Looking at the middle-aged man's incredulous gaze, Lu Xue weakly said, "This, this was given to me by my father."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Your father? Then where did your father get it from?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue fell silent.
Ouyang Yanqing and An Xing, who were beside them, simply watched the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man knew he had asked too much, so he coughed lightly and said, "The Legacy of my Human Palace cannot be broken like this. Moreover, you possess the ultimate treasure of my Human Palace. I think no one is more suitable to inherit the Legacy of my Human Palace than you."
The next moment, a Dragon-shaped ancient ring appeared in the middle-aged man's hand.
"This ring represents the supreme status of my Human Palace. From now on, you are the Human Emperor Hall Master."
Looking at the ancient ring, Lu Xue blinked.
It seemed she hadn't agreed yet.
Seeing Lu Xue's expression, the middle-aged man was inwardly startled. As expected of someone with great Luck, she was indeed not so easily fooled.
He then continued, "Inside, it contains all the resources and treasures of my Human Palace. As long as you inherit my Human Palace, all these things will be yours."
He believed that no one would refuse such a good thing that was free for the taking.
What's more, these were all the resources of his Human Palace.
The quantity was absolutely terrifying.
It was impossible for anyone to resist such temptation.
However, Lu Xue's words left him dumbfounded.
"Can, can I not have it?" Lu Xue asked weakly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was utterly stunned.
His Human Palace had actually fallen to such a state.
When his Human Palace was in its glory, countless beings would break their heads to enter the Human Palace, but now, the entire Human Palace was offered for free and still rejected.
For a moment, the middle-aged man's face showed some dejection.
Looking at the middle-aged man's appearance, Lu Xue's expression was a little hesitant, then she turned to look at Ouyang Yanqing.
Seeing this, Ouyang Yanqing sighed and softly said, "Little Xue, just make your own decision."
At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword in Lu Xue's hand began to tremble again.
Noticing the anomaly, Lu Xue asked in confusion, "Little Sword, what's wrong with you?"
And seeing this scene, the middle-aged man's expression lit up.
"Girl, the Xuanyuan Sword is the ultimate treasure of my Human Palace, and it is also where the Luck of my Human Palace lies. It is not complete now, because its power is sealed within my Human Palace."
Back then, after the Xuanyuan Sword disappeared, the Human Palace only declined for a period of time, and then it reawakened. The reason was that although the Xuanyuan Sword had disappeared, its power remained.
That's why the Human Palace was able to continue to maintain its strength.
And now, the Xuanyuan Sword wanted to retrieve its power.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Xue also understood, "Then where is its power?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man did not speak, but merely smiled.
To know that, there were conditions.
Looking at the middle-aged man, and then at the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, Lu Xue sighed, spread her hands, and said, "Alright then, I'll accept this Legacy, is that okay?"
If it weren't for the Xuanyuan Sword, she wouldn't accept any Legacy.
Hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face grew even brighter.
At this moment, he seemed to have already seen the Human Palace's return to glory.
Buzz—
As the middle-aged man waved his hand, a powerful force surged from deep underground in the Human Palace, soaring into the sky.
Immediately, the entire Wanling Realm trembled.
Countless old monsters who had been in deep slumber were awakened, looking at the golden light in the sky with shock.
Human Emperor Qi!
Somewhere in the Wanling Realm.
Ye Qing looked at a white-haired man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The Human Palace was destroyed back then, and now, we finally have hope. Don't you want to avenge the Human Palace?"
Hearing this, the man chuckled, "Revenge, huh, let's forget about it. The Human Palace has long ceased to exist."
Looking at the man's dejected appearance, Ye Qing's expression darkened slightly.
A long time ago, he too looked like this.
But now, he truly saw hope.
However, he hadn't been without gains these past years. Through his persuasion, some of the surviving powerhouses from the three major forces back then were convinced by him and agreed to go to Huang City to investigate.
But this one in front of him was very crucial.
Because this person in front of him was one of the Human Emperor Hall Master's right-hand men back then.
Even he hadn't expected this person to still be alive.
It was just a pity that although the person was alive, his heart had already died.
Ye Qing shook his head, then turned and left.
And at this moment, a golden light suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire Wanling Realm.
Immediately, Ye Qing stopped in his tracks, looked back, and his expression was shocked.
This aura, he was very familiar with it. Wasn't this the unique Human Emperor Qi from the Human Palace back then?
And a long, long time ago, the Human Palace, the Heavenly Court, and the Sacred Gate were one family.
It was only later that a change occurred within the Human Palace, which led to the Human Palace splitting into three.
Beside him, the man also stared blankly at the golden light in the sky.
He was even more familiar with that aura than anyone else.
Human Emperor, Human Emperor Qi!
Instantly, a powerful aura surged from the man's body, surprisingly, it was a half-step Heaven Sundering Realm (strictly speaking, still Heavenly Fate Realm, but much stronger than Heavenly Fate Realm).
"My Human Palace has not lost, has not lost!!"
The man roared, then burst into maniacal laughter.
After a long while, the man turned to look at Ye Qing, grinned, "Brother Ye, are you still short of people?"
At this moment, his fervent heart had been re-illuminated by this golden light.
Hearing this, Ye Qing smiled, "Of course."
...
Elsewhere, within the Human Palace.
That golden light passed through layers of Restrictions and directly surged into the Xuanyuan Sword.
Immediately, the Xuanyuan Sword shone with golden light, and waves of powerful aura continuously surged out. After a long while, the Xuanyuan Sword finally returned to calmness.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man's face showed relief. Back then, if he had this sword, perhaps he wouldn't have lost so miserably.
It was just a pity that he was a person of the past.
"From now on, you are the Human Emperor Hall Master. The important task of restoring the Human Palace is entrusted to you."
Immediately, the middle-aged man didn't wait for Lu Xue to say anything and directly stuffed the ancient ring to Lu Xue.
Looking at the ancient ring in her hand, Lu Xue examined it, and immediately showed a hint of disdain.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched slightly.
Was the Legacy of his Human Palace really that bad?
The middle-aged man shook his head, then said, "Let me send you out."
Having obtained the Legacy of the Human Palace, there was no longer any need to stay in the Human Palace ruins.
However, upon hearing this, Ouyang Yanqing and An Xing looked at the middle-aged man.
Lu Xue had gained something, but they were still empty-handed.
Noticing their gazes, the middle-aged man sighed, then two beams of light surged into their bodies.
Immediately, the two quickly thanked him, "Many thanks, Senior."
Although it wasn't as good as what their City Lord would reward, it was better than nothing. After all, they couldn't have come for nothing.
And at this moment, Ao Qing also reacted, then spoke, "Uh, I,,"
Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man quickly said, "Alright, it's not advisable to stay here for long, lest trouble arise. Everyone, farewell!"
Immediately, a flash of light passed, and Lu Xue and the others directly disappeared from where they stood.
