Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1685: Chapter 1017: The Whereabouts of the Inheritance Item

“Such a significant legacy will most likely be given to the true ruler of the Netherworld.”

“Doesn’t the Netherworld have a ruler?”

Liang Yuan suddenly remembered this question. It seemed he hadn’t asked Meng Ting until now who called the shots in the Netherworld space!

Thinking of this, he quickly closed his eyes and had his avatar contact Meng Ting.

“Meng Ting!”

In the Earth Palace of Wangxiang Terrace, Liang Yuan’s No. 4 avatar suddenly turned his head and looked at Meng Ting beside him.

Meng Ting was startled and quickly said, “Master, what’s wrong?”

“I’m asking you, who’s in charge of you now?”

“Huh? Us? Our Meng Po clan is now all under Shiva Granny’s control.”

“Who is Shiva Granny?”

“Shiva Granny is the current leader of our Meng Po clan. They’re all in seclusion for cultivation now.”

“Because of the Spiritual Energy Revival, our Netherworld has acquired some Spiritual Energy too. The clans within the Netherworld are secretly competing, all focused on cultivation now.”

“Each Earth Palace only dispatches people to guard once a month.”

“It’s my turn this month.”

Liang Yuan asked, “Is Shiva Granny now the manager of Netherworld Cave Heaven?”

“No, she’s just in charge of our Meng Po clan.”

“Then who is the current manager of Netherworld Cave Heaven?” Liang Yuan immediately pursued.

“There is no manager. Over the years, the population of the Netherworld has dwindled rapidly, and those with cultivation talent are very rare.”

“Battles erupted among the clans a long time ago, all to fight for the right to rule the Netherworld.”

“In the end, everyone ended up with mutual damage and decided to manage their own affairs separately.”

“The Shura clan has been declining over the years and barely has any people left.”

“Most of the Shura clan has probably turned into demon monsters.”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but frown and asked, “So when you fight for power among the clans, how exactly do you fight? Is there a symbolic item or some treasure involved?”

Just like the dynastic changes among humans, the battle for the throne where everyone fights for the imperial seal.

So does the ruler of the Netherworld have something like that too?

Maybe that item is related to the refining method of the sword inside the Eight-headed Great Serpent.

Meng Ting paused and scratched her head, “I don’t know about this kind of thing; I’m not qualified to know.”

Liang Yuan thought the same; Meng Ting had been reduced to guarding the Earth Palace, probably without much status in the Meng Po clan.

Liang Yuan decided not to question her further, immediately communicated with his No. 1 avatar, and started asking those old fellows returning from the Starry Sky Ancient City.

These old fellows managed to cultivate enough to leave the Netherworld and reach the Starry Sky Ancient City; surely, they were outstanding figures of Netherworld Cave Heaven once.

They undoubtedly know the secrets within.

Liang Yuan first asked Qin Guang, the True Monarch.

“Qin Guang, is there any special symbolic item for the ruler of the Netherworld?”

“Such as something akin to a Heart Core or Brain Core.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang smiled and said, “Of course, each generation of the Netherworld Cave Heaven’s Cave Master holds the legacy Magic Artifact.”

Liang Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up, “What kind of legacy Magic Artifact?”

“The legacy Magic Artifact of the Netherworld is called the Blood River Sword, passed down by the Blood River Patriarch.”

“The Blood River Sword is the legacy weapon of each generation’s Netherworld ruler. It’s said that this sword contains the inheritance of the Blood River Patriarch, not only involving the defense array secrets of the entire Netherworld Cave Heaven but also recording many of the Blood River Patriarch’s Divine Power and Magic.”

“However, only each generation of the Netherworld Cave Master knows about this. The Cave Master of our generation was Yan Muhua, who received the title of True Monarch Yan. But he deemed himself extraordinary and entered the Starry Sky Galaxy, following the footsteps of the Blood River Patriarch and others.”

Liang Yuan’s heart was stirred: Blood River Sword?

This sounds like it might be related to the sword within the Eight-headed Great Serpent.

Are the two the same sword?

No, if it’s the same sword, someone else couldn’t wield it if it’s inside the Eight-headed Great Serpent.

Liang Yuan asked, “Have you seen this sword?”

“To answer Master, I have seen it.”

“Describe the appearance of this sword to me.”

“Yes, this sword is a Magic Artifact; it can change its size at will, which is a feature of top-tier Magic Artifacts because it’s imprinted with a Sumeru Array and can change according to one’s intention.”

“This sword, in its normal state, is seven feet long, with the blade covered with serpentine cloud patterns, emanating lava-like scorching light patterns, with the handle decorated with chain-like designs.”

“I’ve witnessed Yan Muhua wielding this sword, able to split mountains and rivers with a single strike, extremely powerful.”

Liang Yuan immediately asked, “Where is this sword now?”

“This… I don’t know, but it should still be in the Netherworld, as it symbolizes the Cave Master of each generation. He wouldn’t have taken it to the Starry Sky Ancient City.”

“One must find the Netherworld Cave Master of this generation to find this sword.”

Qin Guang analyzed.

Liang Yuan laughed bitterly, having circled back to the starting point.

He must find the Netherworld Cave Master of this generation.

But where to find the Netherworld Cave Master of this generation?

The entire Netherworld has long shattered, and a Cave Master doesn’t exist.

Seeing Liang Yuan’s expression, Qin Guang naturally speculated: “Could it be that the Netherworld no longer even has a Cave Master?”

He asked in surprise.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, “In the End of Dharma Era, Spiritual Energy has dwindled, and internal strife among the Netherworld clans is constant, and there hasn’t been a Cave Master for a long time.”

“Now finding the Blood River Sword is likely impossible.”

Qin Guang thought for a moment and said, “Master, perhaps you could try to trace back to the last Cave Master and see who that last Cave Master was, where he passed away; perhaps you could find his remains and maybe some clues.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, “Now that’s the only way.”

While the two were talking, suddenly, several coffin lids in the Earth Palace started vibrating simultaneously.

Liang Yuan immediately became spirited and smiled, “Looks like Xue Ming took the bait!”

Qin Guang also smiled and said, “Those left in the Starry Sky Ancient City must have come out en masse; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many awakening at once.”

“Let’s move.”

Liang Yuan got up and said.

Qin Guang quickly helped start opening the coffins one by one.

As soon as the coffin was opened, the person inside saw Qin Guang, their vigilance relaxed, but just as they were about to ask something, Liang Yuan suddenly slapped from behind.

Instantly, this person was directly captured by the Soul Imprisonment Rune and immediately became Liang Yuan’s slave.

Then, the same scene played out in several Earth Palaces.

Quickly, Liang Yuan subdued nearly twenty slaves.

Among these people, the True Monarch named Xue Ming finally appeared.

Xue Ming was the last batch to enter the reincarnation passage.

From this, it can be seen that this person is cautious in nature.

Unfortunately, no matter how cunning he was, he couldn’t escape Liang Yuan’s systematic capturing approach.

Liang Yuan looked at the middle-aged man dressed in ancient attire before him and asked, “Are you Xue Ming?”

Xue Ming, though unaware of what happened, seeing the respect others around him held for Liang Yuan, knew he had already failed.

He then smiled bitterly as he walked out of the coffin lid, saying, “Seems my plan failed?”

Liang Yuan formed a Soul Imprisonment Rune and said, “No need for useless words, I don’t want to waste time, open your Sea of Consciousness yourself.”

“Slave Mark!”

Xue Ming took a deep breath, again looking at the others, already understanding that they had been refined into slaves by Liang Yuan.

He sighed and asked, “Can we negotiate? Without placing the Slave Mark on me, I can make a deal with you.”
