Chapter 417: The Inheritance of the Demon King
Since Ling Xiao was rewarded, it meant that Elder Jin, the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall, had already somewhat dissatisfied the higher-ups of the sect. Not losing his position as the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall was already his fortune. Now, it could be estimated that he posed no threat to Ling Xiao for the time being.
In addition, this decision made the faction of Meng Yuan and Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy very gloomy.
Beyond their imagination, the death of Hei Suo in the hands of Ling Xiao was in vain.
But the most outrageous thing was, Ling Xiao was actually rewarded with so many contribution points.
The amount of contribution points even made the elite inner disciples jealous. Not to mention others, even Meng Yuan was a little jealous.
After getting this news, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was so angry that he vomited blood. The injuries that had barely recovered, opened again.
“White Cloud! White Cloud! Damned White Cloud! He actually had such a disciple, but this seat unexpectedly didn’t notice it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy already had killing intention towards Ling Xiao, and with this incident of Ling Xiao killing Hei Suo, his killing intent increased even more.
In the past, it was just Meng Yuan wanting to kill Ling Xiao to please Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
However, this time, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy personally gave Meng Yuan an order——
“Meng Yuan, kill that Ling Xiao before this Master recovers from injuries, then this Master will accept you as a true disciple! Your treatment will be the same as Ming Tian!”
After receiving this order, Meng Yuan was very excited. And at the same time, he began to make plans to kill Ling Xiao.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao made a shocking decision on the other side.
He reported the sect, saying that he had something precious with him, but he wanted to personally hand it over to the Sect Master!
Ling Xiao had planned this for a long time. He planned to give the key to the ‘True Demon Empire’s Treasury’ to the sect.
That thing was a useless thing for him at present, but for the Moonlight Sect, it was definitely a treasure.
In addition, there was another thing, the Demonic Seal of the Plague Demon King!
This seal had no special effect. It was just a symbol of status. It was also useless for Ling Xiao to keep it with him.
Therefore, he might as well use it to exchange for some benefits.
He believed that as long as he offered these two things, his position in the sect would be more stable, and it would be more difficult for Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy to kill him.
Even if the Head of the Law Enforcement Hall wanted to deal with him, it would be very hard.
Besides, these two things would definitely give him a lot of sect contribution points.
On that day, the Sect Master of the Moonlight Sect finally showed up. This person turned out to be a beautiful woman.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao was disappointed. She was not that blue-robed woman he had encountered in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.
Originally, Ling Xiao had thought that the Sect Master of the Moonlight Sect was that woman. Therefore, he insisted on meeting her, but now that he saw the Sect Master, he was somewhat disappointed.
However, disappointment was disappointment, what should be done should still be done.
Along with the Sect Master of the Moonlight Sect, the five Law Enforcement Elders of the Law Information Hall, Jin (Metal), Mu (Wood), Shui (Water), Huo (Fire), Tu (Earth), also came in person.
There were also Golden Light Celestial Worthy, Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy, Stainless Celestial Worthy, Desperate Tower Master, Inner Moonlight Tower Master, Medicinal Hall Master Yang Danlin, and others.
Basically, practically all higher-ups of the Moonlight Sect had come.
Because they all heard Ling Xiao say that he had two treasures that concerned the rise and fall of the Moonlight Sect, and he wanted to offer them to the sect. As the seniors of the Sect, how could they not participate in this matter?
“Ling Xiao, this Sect Master has come in person. What do you want to hand in, feel free to take out. If it’s truly a valuable treasure, this Sect Master will naturally give you appropriate rewards. However, if you were just talking nonsense, then don’t blame this Sect Master for punishing you!”
Although the voice of the Moonlight Sect’s Sect Master, Chang Yueying, was not loud, it showed absolute majesty.
“This disciple understands!”
Ling Xiao didn’t waste time talking nonsense. He just raised his hand and a pouch appeared on his hand.
He then slowly opened the pouch and took out two distinct things.
An imperial seal made with the best-quality spirit stone.
And a jade token that didn’t look anything special.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple found these two things from the Plague Demon King’s body after this disciple killed him. Among them, one is the Plague Demon King’s imperial seal. This disciple felt that its implications are profound, so this disciple thought to offer it to the Sect Master in person!”
While Ling Xiao was speaking, someone had already brought this thing to Chang Yueying.
Ling Xiao had not mentioned the jade token yet.
Just the imperial seal of the Plague Demon King, the implication of this thing alone was so big that the seniors present actually stood in succession after hearing Ling Xiao’s words, and they attempted to see if the imperial seal was real or not.
“Yes! This is indeed the Demon King Seal of the Plague Demon King!”
Chang Yueying carefully observed it for a while and announced solemnly.
“It’s actually real!”
The heartbeat of all the seniors suddenly accelerated. They were very experienced and knowledgeable, but they had never seen the real Demon King Seal.
Merely, according to the most secret records in the sect, the Demon King Seals actually contain nine types of martial soul inheritances of the Nine Great Demon Kings.
Not only was it a symbol of status, but it was also a symbol of strength.
For tens of thousands of years, in order to find those Demon King Seals, the twelve sects had practically turned the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent upside down.
However, it was a pity that those Demon King Seals had intelligence, and they chose their own owner. They couldn’t be obtained just because someone wanted them.
“Ling Xiao, does any outsider know about this Demon King Seal?”
Chang Yueying asked suddenly.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple has not leaked this matter. Only everyone present here knows about this matter.”
Ling Xiao replied.
“Very good, you have done a great job in finding the Demon King Seal this time. Rest assured, this Sect Master will keep the promise! Later, this Sect Master will definitely give you a generous reward!”
Chang Yueying was so excited that she was unable to maintain her usual calmness.
What did the Martial Soul Inheritance of the Nine Great Demon Kings signify? She was clearer than anyone else.
“Sect Master, can you take a look at this thing?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Isn’t this just an ordinary jade token?”
Perhaps, Chang Yueying was too excited to see the Demon King Seal, she ignored the jade token, which was placed beside the Demon King Seal.
At that time, she held the jade token and poured her soul power into it. Then, she was shocked beyond words!
“Sect Master, what exactly is it?”
Elder Jin hastily asked.
Chang Yueying calmed down after a long time, then said slowly: “Have you all heard about the True Demon Great Emperor’s Martial Soul Inheritance?”
“No way, Sect Master, is this jade token True Demon Great Emperor’s Martial Soul Inheritance?”
It was simply like a thunderous explosion, which made everyone dizzy.
The Martial Soul Inheritance of the Nine Great Demon Kings was already very terrifying. What did the True Demon Great Emperor’s Martial Soul Inheritance signify?
“That’s not it.”
Chang Yueying shook her head and said: “This is one of the nine keys that open the True Demon Empire’s Treasury. And according to the rumors, The True Demon Great Emperor’s Martial Soul Inheritance along with a lot of martial art secrets and divine weapons are stored in it. In terms of value, this jade token might be ten times more precious than the Demon King Seal!”
Chang Yueying tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but her voice was still trembling.
Because she was too excited.
She was so excited that she could no longer express her feelings normally.
The treasury of True Demon Empire!
The inheritance of True Demon Great Empire!
Furthermore, countless martial art secrets and divine weapons!
All the seniors looked at each other in endless shock.
Because they knew what exactly this meant.
In any case, this thing was too valuable for the sect.
