Chapter 558 - 555 Xing Yi

Green water is indeed rare!

Especially green water that emits a fragrance is even rarer.

"Since we've encountered it, we definitely can't let it go," Gao Fei said as he filled his gourd and sealed the lid, then put away the gourd: "There might be a use for it later on."

"What if there's no use for it?" Immortal Master Huang asked.

"No big deal, just consider it collecting a souvenir," Gao Fei laughed.

"Are we done here? Can we go now?"

"Let's go, right now."

The two stepped past the pond and walked deeper into the cave dwelling.

"Look! What's that!" Gao Fei exclaimed, his expression extremely excited.

Immortal Master Huang hurriedly looked up: "Damn! Am I seeing things? How can there be so many? Nearly blinded me!!!"

What did the two see? Why were they so excited?

The mystery was quickly revealed... Not far ahead, there was a pile of amethysts, yes, amethysts, emitting a purple halo, looking dreamlike and enchantingly beautiful!

"We're rich! We're rich!" Gao Fei laughed heartily, there were not many things in this world that could excite Gao Fei to this extent, and amethysts were one of them.

Immortal Master Huang was also brimming with excitement: "There must be at least several hundred thousand pieces... As expected of the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator, so rich."

When the two calmed down, they started to divide the loot. Before entering, it was agreed that Gao Fei would take sixty percent, and Immortal Master Huang forty percent... After seeing the mountainous pile of amethysts, Immortal Master Huang regretted it, his guts turning blue with regret, but he ultimately kept the promise, giving sixty percent of the amethysts to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei needed amethysts for cultivating, and so did Immortal Master Huang.

"Not bad! Really not bad!" Gao Fei smiled so widely his mouth wouldn't close: "This trip wasn't for nothing! Let's go on, see if there's anything else inside." Gao Fei walked enthusiastically inside, with Immortal Master Huang closely following.

Soon, they reached the end of the cave dwelling.

"That's it?" Gao Fei's smile slowly faded: "How can there be nothing more?"

"Yeah, how can there be nothing?" Immortal Master Huang also looked disappointed.

In the end, the two were just too greedy. They had taken several hundred thousand amethysts but still weren't satisfied, still hoping for other treasures. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"This is really frustrating," Gao Fei said undeterred, knocking and tapping on the stone wall, to see if there were any hidden chambers, knocking until his wrist ached, but he found no secret rooms.

"There are characters here." Immortal Master Huang's voice came from behind.

"Characters?" Gao Fei walked over, puzzled: "Where are the characters?" After a few steps, Gao Fei saw a stone wall covered in writing, strange characters that Gao Fei did not recognize: "What are these characters? Why do they look so strange?"

"These are the writings of the Demon Race," Immortal Master Huang stared at the stone wall without blinking: "The language of the Demon Race from the Ancient Times..."

"No wonder they look so strange, it turns out to be the writing of the Demon Race," Gao Fei said, his face showing a look of realization. The language created by the Demon Race was bound to be different from that of the Human Race. Gao Fei leaned in closer and asked, "Do you recognize these characters? Can you translate them for me?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Ah."

"I'll translate for you, but you have to give me one hundred thousand amethysts."

"Dream on!" Gao Fei glared fiercely at Immortal Master Huang.

"Haha... Just kidding, look how tense you are," Immortal Master Huang laughed, "I'll translate for you now..." Clearing his throat, he began to recite, "I roamed through life, defeated countless formidable enemies, garnered innumerable glories, and at last, ascended to the throne of the Demon Emperor..."

"Demon Emperor?" Gao Fei was startled. "Are you sure you read that right?"

Immortal Master Huang scrutinized the characters on the Stone Wall for a few moments and then shook his head, "No mistake, it's 'Demon Emperor'! Absolutely no error!"

"Damn it," Gao Fei's face twitched violently as he shouted, "This place is actually the lair of a Demon Emperor."

"Indeed, it's quite surprising," Immortal Master Huang nodded.

"Keep reading," Gao Fei urged, his interest piqued upon learning the owner of the lair was once a Demon Emperor.

"After becoming the Demon Emperor, I led the Demon Race in battles across the lands. My ambition was great, always dreaming of uniting the Elysium, but sadly, I never succeeded. Later, I took in a disciple and taught him painstakingly, imparting all my skills, but as time went by, I gradually realized Xing Yi was narrow-minded, harsh and ruthless, carrying out many evil deeds behind my back. In a fit of rage, I wanted to destroy his cultivation. Xing Yi kneeled on the ground, clutching my legs and crying loudly, begging for another chance. Seeing him in tears, my heart softened. But just then, Xing Yi suddenly leaped up and ambushed me. Catching me off guard, I fell into his trap and just at that moment, a group of people in black charged in, none of them weak in their cultivation. After they stormed in, they began to attack me. Severely wounded by Xing Yi's betrayal, I stood no chance against these men in black. I fought with all my might to break out of the encirclement and then escaped..." As he spoke, Immortal Master Huang suddenly stopped.

Gao Fei was thoroughly enjoying the story and grew anxious when he saw Immortal Master Huang stop. "Go on, don't stop! Keep going."

"Xing Yi... do you know who Xing Yi is?" Immortal Master Huang asked in a serious tone.

"No idea," Gao Fei shook his head.

"The current Demon Emperor is called Xing Mietian."

"Xing Mietian, Xing Yi... Are they..."

"Xing Yi is an ancestor of Xing Mietian."

"Damn! I didn't expect that connection," Gao Fei's eyes widened in shock.

"There have been rumors before, claiming that Xing Yi betrayed and killed his master, then seized the throne of the Demon Emperor with ruthless methods. I always thought it was merely gossip, but it turns out to be true."

"Forget about that for now, keep reading the inscription to see what else is written," Gao Fei said.

Calming his emotions, Immortal Master Huang continued to read, "Though I escaped, I was spent and wouldn't live much longer... I have left a book inside this lair, which contains all my lifelong learnings, placed under the Stone Wall... I hope that the one who finds this book will avenge me, kill Xing Yi... And if Xing Yi is dead, then kill his offspring..."

"Why aren't you reading anymore?"

"That's all there is," Immortal Master Huang replied.

"You just said... there's a book under the Stone Wall?" asked Gao Fei.

Immortal Master Huang nodded, "Yes."

"Then hurry up and dig it out," Gao Fei urged.

"Easy to dig it out, hard to fulfill the promise," Immortal Master Huang sighed.

"Promise? What promise?"

"To unearth the book, I must help the former master seek revenge."

"You really are stubborn," Gao Fei laughed. "You get the book, and if you don't help him avenge, so what? Can he come back to life and kill you?"

"Yes, I could do that," Immortal Master Huang nodded. "But... it would cast a shadow over my heart, and I would never be at peace for the rest of my life."

"Then help him seek his revenge," Gao Fei said. "The fact that the lair's owner was powerful enough to dominate the ranks and ascend to the Demon Emperor's throne proves his might. Whatever he left behind must certainly be extraordinary..."
