Chapter 185
Chapter 185 - Descendant of the Martial Emperor
“Hee Mengyao, this is the Green Rock Dream. It has a bit of immortal Qi, a good name.”
Guo Fan habitually praised her first before he smiled and said, “I am a bit vulgar. Guo Fan, the word Xiaobo.”
His real name was indeed very common. After all, his family was not a well-educated family. He could not come up with any elegant name. He just simply hoped that his future would be bright.
… Now it could be considered quite big.
He introduced the little foxes and Yijun behind him in succession. In the end, he did not forget to give her a very grand and serious identity as a Demonic Dragon in the protest of Hammer, Meow, and Meow.
Hammer was very concerned about his dignity as a Constructing Fracture of Scaled Dragon.
However, in the introduction of cat form like this… it was very suspicious of him acting cute.
Hee Mengyao looked at the round Orange Cat arrogantly ordering Guo Fan. The latter even seriously described this cat as a ferocious demon beast. It seemed to be especially fond of this cat until the cat revealed a satisfied expression.
She covered her mouth and curved her beautiful eyes. She only felt that this saviour was a person full of fun and childishness, and that the cat was also exceptionally intelligent.
Thinking of his praises, Hee Mengyao's face turned slightly red. With a bit of shyness, she said softly, “My father is a businessman. Later, he was coincidentally broadcasted by an expert. He also studied some scriptures and classics, especially those that liked the path of cultivation. That's why he gave me this name… He would also randomly refine some pills at home, but most of them were useless. I didn't expect that I would be able to benefit from misfortune and meet a true Immortal.”
Her gaze would occasionally fall on the Su sisters' ears and tail, but she would probably treat these two little foxes as Guo Fan's pets. As such, she didn't display any fear towards the demon race.
Although their group was currently sealed with Spiritual Energy, in the impression of mortals, only Immortals could command demons.
Moreover, Yijun's extremely shocking combat strength wasn't something that mortals could possess.
Guo Fan asked for some more information and found out that she came from a wealthy family in the Central Plains. Her family business was considered one of the best among the ordinary people. She ran a joint organization called the Pingshan Chamber of Commerce. She would often come into contact with lower level cultivators and hire them to escort some valuable goods.
However, even if they invited those cultivators who were in contact to be Hee Mengyao's bodyguards, they would naturally not be able to resist in front of the people of the Snowflake Mansion. Furthermore, she did not have any guards by her side in the event of the incident.
She was even kidnapped before they met.
He estimated that Hee Mengyao's father was still looking for his daughter outside. Perhaps there would be some kind-hearted cultivators who would tell him not to waste his energy. Those were the people of the Snowflake Mansion.
Or perhaps he would continue to search until he gave up.
In front of cultivators, mortals were helpless.
The letter that Guo Fan received previously stated that the people of Snowflake Mansion had kidnapped the descendant of a Martial Emperor. After that, they had come to Martial Monarch Cave to search for the inheritance of a Martial Emperor.
Since Hee Mengyao was indeed kidnapped by the people of Snowflake Mansion, it meant that she should be the descendant of the Martial Emperor.
Although she didn't know what a Martial Emperor was, she only knew after hearing the words of the people who kidnapped her.
Speaking of which, it made people sigh. A thousand years ago, the dignified Martial Emperor Hee Junhao, who became a saint with the body of a mortal, was not only a mortal but also had no traces of martial arts. Instead, he had become a merchant.
Thinking about it, it made sense. His inheritance had been placed in his tomb, and it was extremely difficult for him to find a suitable successor for his martial arts. Apart from looking at his mother, even Guo Fan couldn't think of anyone else.
“They said that they want to use your blood to open the door of inheritance?” Guo Fan was a little surprised by Hee Mengyao's words, “It seems like they already know that the bloodline of the descendant of Martial Emperor is the key to opening the secret realm.”
Although they knew about these clues, they had underestimated the danger of Martial Monarch Cave.
As a result, more than half of the people died in the process, and the casualties in the puppet formation were even more severe. Only the two leaders and Hee Mengyao found another exit and entered this place.
And in this island's secret realm, these two people and Hee Mengyao were ambushed by many puppets. However, the cultivation of the two leaders were also very high, so they were still able to deal with them in the beginning.
But the most terrifying thing was that later on, they encountered some monsters that were only bones and half of their bodies were still alive.
Under the claws of these monsters, the two leaders were unable to resist. Hee Mengyao took the opportunity to escape, but she encountered the huge spider puppet in the palace area and was saved by Guo Fan and the rest.
“Zombies? Zombies? Resident Evil Eight?”
Guo Fan made some wild guesses in his heart. Could this island be the secret human experimental base of the Martial Emperor?
Actually, there was a very high possibility.
Because after thinking about it carefully, in this world where cultivators roamed freely, Hee Junhao, as the only person in history who used his physical strength to the extreme as a mortal, must be looking for a breakthrough.
Or, it could be said that he wanted to seek a path to the Soaring through the Clouds for those mortals who didn't have the talent to cultivate.
In Guo Fan's understanding, since Xuan Huan's immortal cultivation technique couldn't do it, then there was only one path left, which was… scientific physical transformation of the human body!
In addition, he was proficient in the creation of dolls, so he had a very deep understanding of the human body. The final product was a Puppet Master like Qingfu, which was basically no different from a human being. If these two people were pursuing this kind of thing, it would not be strange at all.
And the cause of death for him and his Puppet Master wife, could be because of this?
“Cough cough…” Guo Fan coughed twice and put away his imagination. He let Qingfu treat Hee Mengyao's injuries. Although there was no Medicine Pill that targeted internal injuries, external injuries could still be treated effectively. He asked again, “Where did those people from the Snowflake Mansion encounter those monsters? Do you still remember? “
He guessed that if it wasn't for his group of people stepping in midway, Hee Mengyao would probably have died here and become the backdrop of the Martial Monarch Cave Instance Dungeon, so she did not appear in the following storyline.
However, there was another possibility. She was trapped in this secret realm and obtained the true inheritance of the Martial Emperor. She just stayed in seclusion and did not come out.
The players who fought in the tomb only obtained the fake inheritance of the cultivation technique given by the Body Demon.
The people from the Snowflake Mansion had entered from the body demon. Only then did Guo Fan know that there was another secret door there.
However, Guo Fan felt that the bronze cauldron he saw in the secret room should be the most formal entrance. After all, the white stone tablet was the first to appear. It looked like a World Monolith or some sort of coordinates.
It seemed to have a great connection with the Nine Cauldrons.
The other entrances were like the places where two little foxes and the others entered. It should be a relatively unorthodox place. He didn't know if there was any difference.
“I walked out from the bushes over there. Along the way, there were traces of me running and falling on the way. I should be able to find it if I follow the trail.” Hee Mengyao carefully recalled.
