Chapter 473: Chapter 473: The Saint’s Inheritance
Elder He and Elder Qin departed, taking Tang Wushuang with them. His mind had been utterly consumed by the Black Heaven Blood Pill, a condition Du Ying was powerless to treat. Only Elder He and Elder Qin could help him now.The events at Celestial Eagle Valley remained unknown to the outside world. Meanwhile, inside the Saint’s Relics, Lin Yun’s group rested for about an hour. After ensuring the more seriously injured were settled, they finally made their way to the entrance of a pavilion.
"Someone beat us here?" Xi Zijin remarked coolly, staring at the pavilion’s open doors.
"Let’s go in and see," Wei Yunhang suggested quietly in response.
And so, the remaining members of the three factions—leaving the injured behind in the plaza—followed Lin Yun, Wei Yunhang, and Xi Zijin into the pavilion.
The moment he stepped inside, Lin Yun spotted two familiar figures from behind—it was Lu Bingning and Lan Xi. Seeing that they were unharmed and had somehow arrived at the pavilion even before him, the worry in his heart finally subsided.
"Please don’t disturb them," Lin Yun said, bowing to Wei Yunhang and Xi Zijin. He knew the two women were receiving the Saint’s inheritance. "Since the succession has already been decided, I hope that Brother Wei and Miss Xi will do us the kindness of letting it proceed."
"Well, I never thought the Flawless Palace would be the one to obtain the inheritance," Wei Yunhang said with a faint smile upon hearing Lin Yun’s words. "But so be it. Since things are already settled, my Taiqing Academy certainly won’t do anything to interfere."
Xi Zijin said nothing, only giving a slight nod to show that the Spiritual Light Pavilion would not interfere either.
The disciples from all three factions looked on with envy at Lu Bingning and Lan Xi, who were sitting quietly beneath two stone statues. The future benefits of receiving a Saint’s inheritance were self-evident.
With the Saint’s inheritance already claimed, the three factions naturally turned their attention to the treasures within the pavilion. To be fair and prevent further conflict, Wei Yunhang spoke up with a smile. "You two, since the inheritance has been claimed, shall we handle the treasures in these relics according to the old rules?"
Xi Zijin nodded in agreement. Lin Yun, however, didn’t know what the "old rules" were, and only understood after Wei Yunhang explained.
The rule was simple: finders keepers. Any treasure discovered within the relics belonged to whoever found it. The only condition was that there would be no backstabbing or killing along the way.
Lin Yun had no objection to this. The three factions immediately began their search of the pavilion. A sweep of the first floor revealed nothing aside from the two stone statues. It seemed this level was solely for the passing of the Saint’s inheritance.
Finding nothing on the first floor, the group naturally proceeded to the entrance of the second floor. However, it was sealed tight by a Restriction. Wei Yunhang and Xi Zijin attacked it repeatedly but were unable to break through.
