Great Li Martial God

"When the Meng clan was exterminated, this poor nun was still very young. A senior member of the family sacrificed everything to protect me, and it was only through their efforts that I escaped Qishan and made it within the borders of Great Xuan."

"But that elder was severely wounded in the process, with little time left to live. This poor nun was too young to control the clan's divine treasure, and so they hid it at the bottom of this pool in the Qingxuan Temple."

Daoist Qingyu watched the dark pool before her with an unreadable expression, "After the Great Xuan emperor took this poor nun to the palace, this poor nun slipped away to this place to secretly stir the clan's divine treasure in the pool, allowing it to absorb the true qi of heaven and earth and gradually reawaken its power."

"This poor nun had long since planned that after obtaining the Demonic Patriarch's legacy tonight, I would retrieve the clan's divine treasure. Only..."

Here Daoist Qingyu paused and did not continue.

At those words, Li Musheng's expression became thoughtful, while the large black cat watched Daoist Qingyu with obvious wariness.

She had said a lot just now, and all of it sounded very convincing, claiming the treasure at the bottom of the pool was her family's heirloom. But what had the large black cat been doing down there for so long, then?

Family heirloom or not, the large black cat had no interest in such distinctions. Treasures like this went to those who were destined for them.

It did not care whether the thing in the pool belonged to Daoist Qingyu's family. Once it was in hand, it would be its treasure.
