NOVPUBAs Xu Zimei’s voice fell, those watching near Extinct Heaven City felt their hearts jolt once again.
No one knew how Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain could have provoked Xu Zimei.
The crowd, changing their usual demeanor, all started to discuss animatedly.
"Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain has got themselves into trouble now."
"This slayer wiped out even the Extinct Heaven Sect, which boasted two emperors; how could their small holy mountain cope?"
"Yes, although Heaven Expanse Sage is indeed a prodigy who has not emerged in ten thousand years following the Mortal Great Emperor,
under his leadership, Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain is certainly not inferior to an average Imperial Rule Immortal Sect.
But still, they are no match for Extinct Heaven Sect."
Ignoring the discussions around him, Xu Zimei, after annihilating Extinct Heaven Sect, came to Extinct Heaven City, ready to leave.
This Shenghua domain is indeed the last journey for many powerful beings to fulfill their destiny.
But he was not ready to stay any longer; there were still matters in the Eastern Continent that he had not dealt with, and there was too much he needed to attend to.
Right after arriving at Extinct Heaven City, Xu Zimei encountered Cai Yueting.
"Young Master Xu, if you’re not busy, Yueting has prepared some light tea, which can help relax body and mind after the great battle," Cai Yueting said with a smile.
Her slender waist, held delicately, bowed slightly as the ribbons of her pale blue dress fluttered in the wind.
Her smile felt very comforting.
Xu Zimei stepped forward and gently lifted her chin with his right hand.
The faint scent lingered between his lips and teeth.
Her eyes stared directly into Xu Zimei’s without any shyness or trepidation.
Instead, they were full of vigor.
"All right," Xu Zimei said with a light smile, "I might as well not leave tonight and stay over. How does that sound?"
Cai Yueting’s expression froze for a moment, then her cheeks blushed slightly.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her head, lifted by Xu Zimei, nodded downward a little.
"It’s all up to Young Master to decide."
Xu Zimei laughed heartily, then lowered his hand and said lightly, "You seem to have been born with this charm.
Unfortunately, women are like light tea to me, and I’m not interested in your family’s tea.
Unless you have something that can make me stronger, mere beauty is not enough."
After finishing his words, Xu Zimei turned and left, leaving Cai Yueting standing there in astonishment.
The Cai Family took a liking to him and wanted to hitch a ride on his ship.
In fact, Xu Zimei was not opposed to this behavior.
But even if they wanted to board his ship, they needed to qualify; mere beauty was definitely not enough.
...
After leaving Extinct Heaven City, Xu Zimei paid no attention to how the affair with Extinct Heaven Sect would ferment and what it would become known as.
He and Styx traveled toward Heaven Expanse Holy Sect.
After several days of travel, they finally arrived outside Liuhuo City.
Just as they reached the city gates, before entering, they saw a young man running towards them.
The youth was dressed in black, with a handsome face and somewhat the aura of a charming young master.
"This must be Young Master Xu," the youth said, hastily greeting Xu Zimei.
"Who are you?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Teng, from Green Peak Sect," the young man quickly responded.
"Green Peak Sect?" Xu Zimei frowned slightly, remembering something about it while spectating the previous events.
It was because of this Xiao Teng that Green Peak Sect was annihilated by Dragon Abyss Prince.
"What do you want with me?" Xu Zimei asked with interest.
"I would like to ask for Young Master Xu’s help with a matter," Xiao Teng responded eagerly.
"Let’s hear it."
"I hope Young Master Xu can help me wipe out the Dragon Abyss Empire," Xiao Teng’s eyes flashed with the flames of hatred.
He said hatefully, "Since he dared to slaughter my entire sect, I won’t let him have an easy time either."
"Do I look like an easy talker to you?" Xu Zimei asked indifferently.
"Don’t get me wrong, Young Master Xu, I am willing to use a legacy of a Great Emperor as payment," Xiao Teng explained confidently.
"A Great Emperor’s legacy?" Xu Zimei was slightly taken aback.
Seeing the skepticism in Xu Zimei’s eyes, Xiao Teng hurriedly said, "Don’t misunderstand.
This legacy, although not on me, was something I came across by chance, and I can tell you whose legacy it is."
"Whose?" Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes.
"The Firmament Emperor," Xiao Teng replied forcefully.
It was rumored that the Firmament Emperor was once a member of the Cai Family, who was later expelled from Cai Mansion due to his inadequate aptitude.
Afterward, he became a Loose Cultivator.
Even after he became Emperor, he never returned to the Cai Family, and naturally, no one knew of his legacy.
"Are you so confident I will help you?" Xu Zimei smiled.
"Who wouldn’t want a Great Emperor’s legacy? It might just be the step needed to ascend to the heavens," Xiao Teng replied with a smile.
"Then why don’t you claim the legacy yourself and seek revenge after receiving it?"
"The legacy land has its trials, and I’m not confident I can overcome them. It’s possible to fail to obtain the legacy and lose my life in the process."
Xiao Teng explained earnestly, "Besides, I now have someone I love.
I just want to live out my life with her, and we don’t want to get involved in the strife of the Martial Path anymore."
"That’s a very nice thought," Xu Zimei smiled slightly, then shook his head, "But I’m sorry.
I’m afraid I can’t help you with this favor."
"Why?" Xiao Teng asked in surprise.
"A Great Emperor’s legacy might be irresistible to others, but for me, it’s just so-so," Xu Zimei shook his head in response.
...
Watching Xu Zimei’s retreating figure as he walked into the city, Xiao Teng’s expression became a bit embarrassed.
He was silent for a long time, and eventually, he too turned to leave.
Just as the two had entered the city gate, Styx couldn’t wait to ask, "That’s a Great Emperor’s legacy, though.
Are you really just going to give it up?"
"A Great Emperor’s legacy really isn’t all that impressive to me, unless it’s the legacy of some designated Great Emperor," Xu Zimei replied indifferently.
"However, since it’s meat delivered to my lips, why not eat it when it’s free?
You follow him quietly later and see if he goes to any unusual places soon," he continued.
Styx nodded slightly.
"By the way, after I resolve the matter with Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain, I might have to leave Shenghua Domain for a while," Xu Zimei said.
"What about me?" Styx asked, somewhat perplexed.
"You’re free, aren’t you happy?" Xu Zimei smiled.
Styx was silent for a long time, looking down without saying a word.
At first, he truly didn’t want to stay with Xu Zimei, but everything he experienced along the way made him realize.
Perhaps staying by Xu Zimei’s side was the best decision for the rest of his life.
"I’ll wait for you in Shenghua Domain," Styx replied and then,
with his aura surging powerfully, left Liuhuo City to follow Xiao Teng.
Watching Styx’s departing figure, Xu Zimei smiled and shook his head.
Another little brother conquered by my personal charm.
...…
Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain wasn’t too far from Liuhuo City.
As the overlord around Liuhuo City, the fame of Heaven Expanse Holy Mountain was indeed resounding in this piece of heaven and earth.
