Chapter 4316: The Mystery of Inheritance

Ye Bufan frowned slightly; he had experienced a lot and possessed more information about Immortal Saint Ancestor's Reincarnation than Ku Xuzi.

He had already accepted the Ancient Medical Sect's triple Legacy, so what did that have to do with Immortal Saint Ancestor's Legacy?

Could it be that there was some unique Legacy power within that statue? Could it be that when Immortal Saint Ancestor fell back then, he sealed his Cultivation within the statue?

Or was the Legacy itself a fake, a scam, with someone hidden behind it using other means to identify the Legacy holder?

Seeing him remain silent, Ku Xuzi asked, "What? Are you afraid?

The truth is, if he truly is the Reincarnation of Saint Ancestor, even if he doesn't participate in the Saint Spirit Convention, he won't be able to hide in this Chaotic Saint Realm.

Sooner or later, those people will discover him, and by then, he won't have any chance at all."

Ye Bufan naturally understood the Dao he spoke of. "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely participate in the Saint Spirit Convention, and I must see the statue."

Only then did Ku Xuzi nod in satisfaction. Ye Bufan asked, "Master, according to the information you have, who exactly attacked Saint Ancestor back then? Is there any specific direction?"

Ku Xuzi sighed deeply and shook his head slightly. "When Saint Ancestor was alive, although Yunhai Sect was powerful, my Cultivation was low, and my status wasn't high enough, so I had very little access to core information.

Later, when Saint Ancestor fell, Yunhai Sect was severely targeted. The powerful experts within the Sect either died or were crippled, suffering extremely heavy losses.

Ultimately, Sect Leader gave me the remaining resources within the Sect, telling me to stay far away from the Ninth Layer Chaotic Holy World, preserve Yunhai Sect's Bloodline, and await the day of its resurgence.

For so many years, I haven't dared to delve deep into the Ninth Layer Chaotic Holy World, so the information I've gathered is very limited.

There are two prevailing rumors in the Jianghu: one is that Saint Ancestor encountered an attack from an unknown powerful expert, and the other is that Saint Ancestor was assassinated by his wife, who is now the Palace Master of Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace, Linghu Li Ge."

Hearing the name of the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace Palace Master, Ye Bufan's heart stirred. "Master, have you ever met that Linghu Li Ge? What kind of person is she?"

"I met her before when I participated in the Saint Spirit Convention."

As Ku Xuzi spoke, he raised his hand and waved it in mid-air, drawing a portrait of a woman.

Although Ye Bufan was mentally prepared, he was still slightly shocked when he saw the woman's appearance; she truly looked exactly like the White-Clothed Woman in the Dragon King Palace.

This meant there were two possibilities: either the current Linghu Li Ge was fake, or the one in the Dragon King Palace was fake. In any case, only one of them could be the true Saint Ancestor's wife.

It had to be said, Linghu Li Ge was absolutely a rare beauty. Seeing Ye Bufan's expression, Ku Xuzi thought he was shocked by her beauty.

"As the saying goes, 'as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, but with a heart like a snake.' If what happened back then was truly her doing, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will take her down with me!"

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not reveal the information about the White-Clothed Woman. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ku Xuzi, but rather that it wasn't necessary; everything could wait until after he had seen the Saint Ancestor statue.

"Alright, I'm going to recover from my injuries. You should also seize the time to Cultivate.

Without Old Man by your side, don't run around recklessly lately. The situation is too dangerous."

Ku Xuzi gave his instructions, then returned to his room, seizing the time to circulate his Cultivation, absorb the medicinal power, and recover from his injuries.

Ye Bufan entered his Cultivation room, set up a Restriction, and then entered the Dragon King Palace.

On the other side, in the main hall of Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Palace, the White-Clothed Woman sat in the center, while the middle-aged scholar beside her had a gloomy expression, far from his usual leisurely demeanor.

A Black-Clothed Man stood before them. The middle-aged scholar said coldly, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The Black-Clothed Man looked nervous, his head bowed. "News just came back from the front: the Five Elements Essence is gone!"

"That's impossible!"

The middle-aged scholar stood up abruptly. "This was a trap I meticulously set; how could it fail!"

This news truly infuriated him. He knew that for this fishing expedition, he had brought out treasures he valued immensely.

He originally thought these things would eventually return to his hands, but he never expected the Five Elements Essence to be lost.

"Victory and defeat are common in war. Don't be anxious yet."

The White-Clothed Woman comforted the middle-aged scholar, then looked at the Black-Clothed Man. "What exactly happened? Explain clearly."

"It's like this: the person who bought the Five Elements Essence was stronger than expected and killed Gui Fengzhen, who was following…"

The Black-Clothed Man had just said this when he was interrupted by the middle-aged scholar.

"Even if she died, didn't I send Ghost Swordsman? He's Primal Ancestor Eighth Grade; he wouldn't fail, would he?"

"Ghost Swordsman did indeed kill that masked fellow, even forcing out his True Spirit World…"

The Black-Clothed Man briefly and concisely explained what happened, concluding, "That's how it is. Someone snatched the fruits of our labor from behind, not only taking the Five Elements Essence but also the True Spirit World.

Ghost Swordsman searched for a long time but still doesn't know who did it."

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

The fishing failed, and the bait was lost, which infuriated the middle-aged scholar.

The White-Clothed Woman said unhurriedly, "It's a small matter. There's no need to get so angry. After all, our main mission this time is to assassinate Ye Buxiu's Reincarnation.

Everything else is just a minor interlude; it's nothing to worry about."

"That's true…"

The middle-aged scholar's expression softened, and just then, another Black-Clothed Man responsible for reconnaissance rushed in from outside.

"Palace Master, news from the front: the mission failed, and the heavenly pure divine fruit is lost…"

"What? What are you saying?"

This time, the middle-aged scholar was truly enraged. With a grab of his hand, the Black-Clothed Man fell directly into his grasp.

This time, he had personally overseen the entire situation and made two plans. The failure of the first was nothing, but if the second also failed, it would be a complete loss.

Feeling the monstrous rage, the Black-Clothed Man trembled all over. "Lord, please calm your anger…"

The middle-aged scholar suppressed the anger in his heart. "Quickly tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"

"It's like this…"

The Black-Clothed Man quickly recounted the events, finally saying, "The appearance of that Ku Xuzi disrupted the plan and snatched the heavenly pure divine fruit…"

The middle-aged scholar said angrily, "Where's White Blade? Didn't I send him out? Didn't he oversee the entire situation?

With him, a Primal Ancestor Ninth Grade Peak expert, how could such a thing be allowed to happen? How could Ye Junxie be allowed to escape?"

"White Blade did indeed make a move, but Ku Xuzi killed Black Blade. To avenge his brother, he gave up on Ye Junxie and went after those two, Ku Xuzi and the other person. To this day, they are neither seen alive nor dead…"

"You scoundrel! How dare you ruin my important plans!"

The middle-aged scholar abandoned his usual elegance, his killing intent soaring. "That damned White Blade! Even if he doesn't die, I will tear him into ten thousand pieces!"
