Chapter 788: Jiuli’s Tomb Guardian (I)
High God Jiuli?
The title of "High God" caught Chu Liang by surprise. When people spoke of Jiuli, they usually called him "Evil God Jiuli." Given that Evil God Jiuli's mount had been an iron-eating beast, could this elderly man be a descendant of Evil God Jiuli?
Initially, when Chu Liang saw that the elderly man was gravely injured and on the brink of death, he intended to offer aid. However, the elderly man's words made him hesitate.
Instead of answering the elderly man's question, Chu Liang asked solemnly, "Are you one of Jiuli's descendants?"
"No..." the elderly man weakly replied. "I am a devoted follower of High God Jiuli, the guardian of the High God's Legacy... My name is Tan Qingfeng."
The High God's Legacy?
Hearing that, Chu Liang's interest was immediately piqued.
During ancient times, the Evil God had a tribe of people under his command—the Jiuli Tribe. They were known for their mastery in beast taming and tool-making. They also had a special legacy, the Jiuli Legendary Weapon. The Jiuli Tribe had created numerous hidden realms to store valuable treasures and weapons. Over the course of the Great Dao of Years, those hidden realms had been buried under the sands of history, turning each one into a treasure trove.
Several of those treasure troves had been unearthed in recent years, usually turning the finders of the treasure into affluent people overnight.
The High God's Legacy sounded like a hidden realm that was filled with items much more precious than those other treasure troves.
Chu Liang asked, "How did you end up like this?"
