"Feng Feng, can you tell me about your experience with the Nameless Emperor's Tomb? I'll assume that you'd advanced deeper than most people since you were able to acquire the Empyrean Overlord— unless this treasure isn't as valuable as I thought." Yuan asked her after entering his room.
"While I can't say that I have traveled further than anyone out there, I did go pretty deep before I found the Empyrean Overlord." Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded the following moment.
"As you know, the Nameless Emperor's Tomb opens for half a year after it opens. It took me almost that much time to acquire it."
"Half a year… What happens when the tomb closes?" Yuan asked.
"Honestly, the hardest part about the tomb aren't the challenges. It's the pressure that threatens to shatter your soul, and the deeper you go, the stronger the pressure."
"A pressure, huh? Sounds troublesome."
Feng Yuxiang would continue to talk about her experience in the tomb as well as the trials that she had to challenge.
"The Nameless Emperor's Tomb is very unique when it comes to trials because most Legacy Tombs will automatically challenge every individual that enters it, but the Nameless Emperor's Tomb allows one to choose their trials, so one can spend the entire 6 months inside without doing any trials. However, this naturally means you won't receive any rewards. Furthermore, powerful beasts and even demons roam the lands there."
"Demons…?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
.me
"Don't worry, they're not real demons. Everything but the treasures within the tomb was created using spiritual energy. With that being said, the demons are as powerful as real demons, and they even have its regenerative ability."
Feng Yuxiang would spend almost the entire day recalling her experience within the tomb.
"And that's how I acquired the Empyrean Overlord."
Once Feng Yuxiang finished, Lan Yingying spoke, "The Nameless Emperor's Tomb sounds a little similar to the Mystic Realm."
"Considering that they're both related to the 'Lord', I'm not surprised." Yuan said.
"Lord... Now that's a persona I haven't heard in a while." A new voice that Yuan didn't recognize suddenly resounded in the room.
"Who's there?!" Yuan snapped his head like a turtle and turned to look at the window, where an old man that he didn't recognize was standing with a smile on his face.
'How long has he been standing there? I didn't sense his presence until he spoke! This person is an expert!' Yuan swallowed nervously. He could instinctively tell at glance that this old man was at a level that he couldn't even comprehend.
"Be careful, Brother Yuan! He's dangerous!" Xiao Hua jumped between him and the old man, even retrieving her weapon without hesitation.
Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying did the same even though their instincts told them to run.
The atmosphere in the room immediately turned cold, and it suddenly felt like they were in a life-or-death situation.
However, the old man appeared completely relaxed, almost as if he wasn't even part of it.
Yuan stood there in silence. Despite the tense atmosphere, he had this inexplicable feeling that the old man wasn't a real threat.
"Let me ask you again... Who are you?" Yuan asked him, breaking the silence.
The old man took a deep breath before speaking, "My apologies, I was so overwhelmed with emotions that I'd forgotten how to act and made things awkward."
He proceeded to move his body and bent his knees.
"Don't move!" Xiao Hua shouted at him.
However, the old man ignored her warning and continued to lower his body until his knee was kissing the floor.
"Dong Ye, commander of the Evil God's Shadow Army. This unworthy subordinate greets the Master."
"Evil God's Shadow Army…? Master?" Yuan muttered in a dazed voice, his eyes as wide as saucers.
"You may not remember now due to your recent reincarnation, but I am your faithful servant. I've been following you since you were the Evil God, and I have been there for all of your reincarnation since then. If you don't mind me asking, how much of your past lives do you remember?"
"..."
Yuan was speechless.
Dong Ye didn't rush things and patiently waited for Yuan to digest the situation.
"Xiao Hua, Feng Feng, Yingying, lower your weapons." Yuan spoke a long moment later.
The ladies reluctantly lowered their weapons, but they were still on high alert and full of suspicion towards Dong Ye.
"So you used to serve the Evil God, huh? If that's true, what was his name? And who was he before the Evil God? Do you have any proof that you served him?" Yuan suddenly asked Dong Ye multiple questions.
Without hesitation, Dong Ye responded in a clear voice, "Master used to be known as the God of War before receiving the title of Evil God, and his true name was Tian Xian. If you still doubt me, allow me to show you some of my memories with you."
"You can share memories?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed. Will you accept my memories?"
Yuan didn't immediately respond and began pondering.
"Brother Yuan, I don't think we can trust him. He's too suspicious." Xiao Hua said.
"His aura is also insanely murderous. I have never seen anything like that before— except when the Young Master gets angry. He's definitely killed a lot of people." Feng Yuxiang said.
Dong Ye smiled, "It is true that I have a lot of blood on my hands. I didn't become the commander of the strongest assassination squad in the Nine Heavens by being a saint."
Yuan took a deep breath and spoke, "It's okay, my instincts are telling me to trust him, so I will do so. If he wanted to harm us, he has more than enough power to do so, and we wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him."
He glared at Dong Ye in the eyes and continued, "Show me."
"As you command, Master." Dong Ye eagerly nodded.
