Chapter 565 - 551: Empress’s Weapon
The cloaked elder heard this, his gaze intently fixed on Xiao Ye, then suddenly he threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound of his laughter always tinged with a hint of desolation, which evoked a sense of sorrow in Xiao Ye’s heart.
"You, young fellow, are quite clever, and you also maintain a cool composure. It seems that this old man did not misjudge you." The laughter of the cloaked elder ceased, and his eyes were blazing as he looked at Xiao Ye, feeling somewhat helpless deep inside.
If Xiao Ye had actively asked to enter these four palaces, then it would have been natural for him to state his demands.
But Xiao Ye remained remarkably calm and unswayed, taking control of the initiative, forcing him to be the one to make a move instead.
So now, it appeared as though he was pleading for Xiao Ye to enter, which meant the terms he could propose were naturally not too demanding.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye let out a slight smile. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Although this mysterious elder had saved him, he still maintained a sense of vigilance in his heart.
After all, no matter how appealing the treasures might be, what use are they if one has no life to retrieve them?
"Elder, whatever your requests are, please feel free to make them known. If this junior is capable, I will do my utmost to fulfill them," Xiao Ye said, clasping his fists.
The cloaked elder nodded then continued, "This is my Emperor Martial World. These four palaces also contain fine treasures. Even as a disciple of the Taiyi Palace, you would surely be tempted."

"Although I am a warrior of the Emperor Martial Realm, I am now merely a sliver of spiritual sense, thus guarding these treasures is futile." The elder’s voice carried a hint of sadness as he spoke, seemingly falling into memories, mourning his own fate.
