Chapter 135: Seeing Death as Home
On the other side, Chen Xuan and Clay were still sitting on the reef by the sea, Clay's mood had stabilized, and the two of them were quietly blowing the sea breeze, unaware that one behind them was slowly approaching.
"Humph!"
Hecote-Chaoshan snorted coldly, startling the two who were relying on each other.
"Daddy. ”
Chen Xuan and Clay hurriedly stood up, and then quickly returned to the shore, Heket Chaoshan did not speak, but just looked at Clay with a serious expression.
"Uncle, let's talk, I'll go over there and have a look......"
Chen Xuan casually found a reason and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Clay's outstretched hand, neither to go, nor to stay, so he could only laugh in place.
"Do you remember that 'Shengjin Ancient Cave'? You used to play around there when you were a kid. Heket-Chao Shan ignored Chen Xuan and asked directly.
"Remember, that is the place where the most powerful ancestor in the history of our clan fell, and it has been sealed for thousands of years, and it is said that it contains the treasure left by the Eighth Soul Master to his descendants. Clay said these words in a tone as if she were reciting scriptures, and she could see that she had heard or said them many times, almost to the point of reciting them backwards.
"The Eighth Soul Master has been down for more than a thousand years, and I haven't seen his descendants come to break the seal, so I guess that legend is not true at all. When Clay mentioned the Eighth Soul Master, his face was full of admiration, and he could see that this Eighth Soul Monarch had an extraordinary status among the Amethyst Scorpion Clan, and it was probably not an exaggeration to say that he was a god.
"It's because I didn't tell you before, there is one soul master every thousand years, and now it is exactly a thousand years since then, that is to say, in this world, there is already a ninth soul master. Hecote-Chaoshan said.
"What does that have to do with me, I ...... I don't know him well, he just came to take the treasure left to him by the Eighth Soul Master, what does it matter to me?" Clay replied nonchalantly.
"No, the Ninth Soul Master has already come to our island, and you know him well. Heket Chaoshan said lightly.
"What a coincidence? The Ninth Soul Master has also landed on the island. I have long heard that there is one soul master every thousand years, and each of them is a big devil who destroys the world and endangers the common people, I don't know if I have a chance to see it? However, why does Ah Cai call the soul master 'adult'? Could it be that this is the remnant power of the previous generation of soul masters?......" Chen Xuan on the side had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it.
"I'm very familiar with him, how can it be? Dad, don't laugh, hehe......" Clay suddenly felt ridiculous, he had very few human contacts, and there were only two people who had a deep relationship: Chen Xuan and Mo Ying.
"I'm not joking, and you brought him here. Heket Chaoshan said with extreme seriousness.
"This ......" Hearing this, the smile on Clay's face slowly stopped, Clay knew that his father, Hecote Chaoshan, was not a person who liked to joke.
"Could it be...... Mo... Elder brother... Brother?" Clay turned his head to look at Chen Xuan and asked in disbelief.
"Hmm. Hecote-Chaoshan replied solemnly.
"Oh my God! Brother Mo...... It turned out to be ...... Lord of the Ninth Soul Master!"
At this time, Clay was completely stunned, and he couldn't believe that Brother Mo, who had been with him for so long, was actually the Ninth Soul Master.
"What's going on? Isn't the Ninth Soul Protector the Young Hall Master of the Divine Fall Continent Hades Temple? How could it be Wolf Nima?"
Also stunned was Chen Xuan, unlike Clay, who lived on the island all year round, Chen Xuan was an orphan and had traveled the world all year round, so he had heard many, many rumors about the Soul Master.
One of the most well-known ones is that the Ninth Soul Emperor who was born today is the young hall master of the Divine Fall Continent Hades Temple! And the Hades Temple is one of the most powerful sects today, and its overall strength will not be lost to the Holy City in people's hearts - Cloud Sky City, and even surpasses Cloud Sky City in some aspects, such as being dominant in the Hades Temple in the Divine Fall Continent, and Cloud Sky City has never been dominant in Feiyun Continent. It is precisely because of the protection of such a powerful Hades Temple that the Ninth Soul Master was able to grow and did not let everyone in the world hunt down.
It is even rumored that the Temple of Hades has been passed down for 10,000 years, and every soul master who appears during this period will be the master of the contemporary Temple of Hades after they grow up.
"Why is this happening?" Chen Xuan, whose face did not change, secretly clenched his fists.
"Now, the Ninth Soul Emperor is about to enter the Holy Golden Ancient Cave, the Holy Golden Ancient Cave is extremely dangerous, according to the instructions of the ancestors, he must be accompanied by a clansman who is no more than thirty years old to ensure his safety. Hekote-Chaoshan continued.
"If you want to ensure Brother Mo's safety, why don't you send an elder from the Supreme Realm, but instead send a young clansman who is no more than thirty years old, and only one person?" Clay asked puzzled.
An Amethyst Saint Scorpion under the age of thirty is not a powerful existence, even if its personal cultivation talent is against the sky, it is only an ethereal realm after all.
"Because, this person may be sacrificed for the sake of the Soul Protector at any time, and I, I want you to go. At this point, Hecote-Chaoshan finally said the purpose of his visit.
"I, why should I be the one who died?"
At this time, Clay only felt that his heart was breaking, originally Clay only thought that his father was just a little unreasonable, but he didn't expect that his father didn't care about his life or death at all.
"Hmph, I just want you to go, I didn't say that you have to go! The ancestors had a testament, and the person who accompanied the Soul Protector to the Shengjin Ancient Cave must be the first person of the younger generation, and you are not yet! However, if you don't go, your brother Mo is likely to die inside, I don't think other clansmen will sacrifice their lives for a human they have never met, do you understand when I say that?" Hecote-Chaoshan ignored Clay's heartbroken appearance, but turned his back and said extremely coldly.
"Huh...... Hahahaha... You're trying to sacrifice me to save the Soul Protector—" Instead of crying, the heartbroken Clay laughed maniacally.
"That's right, the Eighth Soul Master saved our clan, and we need to repay our kindness. Heket Chaoshan said coldly.
"Haha, in your eyes, I'm just a waste that can be sacrificed at any time, okay, just repay the kindness you say, I'll go!" Looking at the indifferent back of Hecote Chaoshan, Clay had tears on his cheeks.
"Come with me if you want to go, and see if you yourself are qualified to die now that you have entered the Ethereal Realm!" Heket-Chao Shan still said in the same cold tone, and walked away.
Completely in despair, Clay stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and followed behind Hecote-Chaoshan, his eyes full of determination to see death as if he were at home.
"I'm sorry, Lord Soul Master, for keeping you waiting. ”
The picture returned to the main pavilion, when Mo Ying was bored, Heket Chaoshan walked in from outside alone, smiling, and his tone was quite respectful.
"Senior, just call me Mo Ying. ”
Hecote-Chao Shan's attitude towards Mo Ying has changed from being aggressive at the beginning to being quite respectful now, and this change in attitude makes Mo Ying feel uncomfortable all of a sudden.
"Old man, there is a reluctant request...... "Heket-Chao Shan did not beat around the bush, and said directly to Mo Ying.
"Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say. Mo Ying hurriedly replied.
"The ancestors had a testament, we have to send a clansman who is no more than thirty years old to accompany the adult into the ancient cave, this person is better to be the first person of the younger generation in the clan, but the little girl's spiritual cultivation should not reach the level of the first person, so ......"
Mo Ying didn't answer, but quietly waited for Heket-Chao Shan to finish speaking.
"The old man wants to ask the Lord of the Soul Master to directly order the little girl to go with him, and the testament of the ancestors did not say that it must be the first person, plus there is the hand-picked of the Lord of the Soul Master at this moment, and the other clansmen will never have any objections. After Heket finished speaking, he bowed to Mo Ying.
Heket-Chaoshan is a powerhouse of the Supreme Realm, and he actually salutes a junior of the Ethereal Realm, if it is not for a certain reason, this is basically impossible.
"The seniors are serious, Sister Clay and the two of us are like brothers and sisters, and we will definitely help if we can. Mo Ying, who understood this, hurriedly agreed.
Mo Ying felt that there must be something hidden in this Holy Golden Ancient Cave that was also very important to the Amethyst Holy Scorpion Clan, otherwise Hekte-Chao Shan would not be so dignified.
Unfortunately, Clay casually glanced inside as he passed by the main attic, and happened to see Hecote-Chaoshan making a fuss at Mo Ying.
"Is Dad begging Brother Mo? begging the Ninth Soul Master to let me die? Brother Mo shouldn't know that I will be sacrificed, right? It doesn't matter, my life was saved by Brother Mo, even if I have to sacrifice, I am willing!" Hercote-Clay said secretly in her heart, and the back of the person who turned away looked even more resolute.
"That's good, that's good. Then please come with the old man, the old man has gathered the clansmen in the square, and the master of the soul master only needs to order the little girl in front of everyone, and then he can go to the Shengjin Ancient Cave. Hecote-Chaoshan said.
"Uh...... All right. Mo Ying hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Because the candidate for the escort has already been decided, the gathering of the clansmen is just a matter of passing the scene and making a show, but it is still necessary to do this, otherwise other clansmen will inevitably gossip, and may even protest, saying that the patriarch is using the public for personal gain or something, and the delicate-minded Mo Ying naturally understands this.
So, Mo Ying followed behind Heket Chaoshan and walked slowly, and it took a while to come to a huge square.
Wow!
At this time, the square can almost be said to be a "human" mountain and a "human" sea, Mo Ying can clearly perceive that every "person" on this square is formed by the amethyst holy scorpion, they obviously hate human beings, but at this time, they all turned into human appearances, all thanks to the eighth soul master.
"How much they worship the Eighth Generation. Mo Ying smiled a little ashamedly.
Swish!
The moment Mo Ying's abyss appeared, almost at the same time, countless eyes on the square quickly converged on Mo Ying's body, forming an invisible momentum, and Mo Ying only felt that he was walking a little unnaturally.
