Chapter 813: Chapter 47 Jiuli Tomb Guard [Combined]

Jiuli Supreme God?

This title surprised Chu Liang somewhat because normally, when mentioning the existence of Jiuli, it was often the "Jiuli’s Evil God" that came up. Considering the Iron Eating Beast as the mount of the Evil God, could it be that this elder was a descendant of the Jiuli’s Evil God?

Originally, seeing him gravely injured and close to death, Chu Liang had thought of offering healing. But now that he had spoken, Chu Liang couldn’t help but hesitate.

He didn’t respond but asked in a heavy voice, "Are you a descendant of Jiuli?"

"No..." the elder replied weakly, "I am a loyal follower of the Jiuli Supreme God, the guardian of the Tomb in the Supreme God’s Legacy... Tan Qingfeng."

Supreme God’s Legacy?

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang felt a surge of excitement.

In ancient times, the Jiuli Tribe under the command of the Evil God excelled in taming beasts and Artifact Refining. They possessed a special heritage of Jiuli Divine Weapons and had created many secret realms to store treasures and weapons. Over the long passage of time, these secret realms were buried within the dust of history, each one a treasure trove.

Over the years, several Jiuli treasures had been unearthed, often accompanying overnight riches.

This so-called "Supreme God’s Legacy" sounded like an even more high-end secret realm.

So he asked again, "How did you end up in this state?"

"I..." The elder opened his mouth and let out two rough breaths, suddenly becoming rigid, as if he was about to expire at any moment.

The Iron Eating Beast hurriedly passed the newly picked Spirit Plant to the elder, but the elder seemed no longer able to eat and remained motionless.

If he were to let him die, it would be terrible. Helpless, Chu Liang still stepped forward, grabbed the Spirit Plant from the Iron Eating Beast’s claws, and prepared to refine it to feed the elder, to hang on to life for a while longer.

Who knew that as soon as he approached, the elder, who seemed at death’s door, suddenly grabbed his wrist with a flip of his hand, his fingers still as hard and strong as forged iron.

"You are not the Jiuli Supreme God..." Struggling with his last breath, the elder asked, "Who are you? Why do you carry the presence of the Supreme God..."

It must be related to the Jiuli Soul Armor, right?

Chu Liang pondered in his heart and replied, "Regardless of who I am, I mean no harm. I was led here by the Iron Eating Beast to save you."

"Heh... heh..." The elder looked at him warily, perhaps due to the pressure of the approaching death, finally closed his eyes, and chose to trust Chu Liang against his better judgment.

Having seen the figure of his grandmother beckoning him with closed eyes just before, he was finally being rescued, so it wasn’t the time to ask too many questions.

Chu Liang refined the Spiritual Medicine into a ball of Primordial Qi and slowly fed it into the elder’s mouth. Without time to refine it into an elixir, this was a more efficient use of the Spirit Plant. Moments later, the elder reopened his eyes, and this time there was finally some spirit in his gaze.

However, his wound in the chest was still there, and the Spirit Plant was merely keeping him alive.

Chu Liang could have used an Elixir to treat his injuries, but that would have to wait until the man’s identity was confirmed.

"Elder Tan," Chu Liang said upon seeing him awake, "although your Primordial Qi is hanging by a thread, your injuries are too severe. You must return with me to Shu Mountain for healing. But before that, I need to confirm your identity. What does this ’Supreme God’s Legacy’, ’Guardian of the Tomb’... mean?"

Now that the man was awake, it was impossible to deceive further, so he simply asked directly.

"What are you talking about?" The elder suddenly turned his head, "I don’t understand."

"What you just said?" Chu Liang looked into his elderly eyes with a slight frown.

"I was at death’s door just now, babbling nonsense. I didn’t even know what I was saying," the elder said flatly.

"Alright then," Chu Liang nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, please forgive me for not being able to rescue you. Let’s go."

After saying that, he began to drag the Iron Eating Beast beside him to leave.

The little one clearly wanted to stay by the elder’s side. However, with Chu Liang pulling on the scruff of its neck, it was powerless to resist and whined in anxiety.

"You can’t take it away!" the elder said in a panic, but his injured body was too weak to move, and he pounded the ground heavily.

"I forgot to say earlier," Chu Liang said, "This Iron Eating Beast took three Spirit Plants from me, and they weren’t given for free. I see that aside from holes, you don’t have anything valuable on you, so naturally, I’ll take this Spirit Beast as collateral. Don’t worry, elder, I’ll treat it well, ensuring it gets a bowl of water per day, food every three days, and I’ll try my best not to beat it to death..."

As he spoke, he kept pulling the Iron Eating Beast, which was completely resisting.

"Stop! Stop!" The elder sighed, "Ask what you want to know, I’ll tell you everything, just don’t take it away..."

His face was full of helplessness.

The Shu Mountain boy takes advantage of my weakness to take the Iron Eating Beast back to the mountain.

Too outrageous.

...

"My Tan Family ancestors have all been followers of the Jiuli Supreme God. Inside the Supreme God’s Legacy, we guard everything left by the Supreme God, waiting for the day of his return. Our family ancestors have thus been known as the Guardians of the Tomb," the elder said slowly.

"Wait a minute..." Chu Liang asked, "The Jiuli Supreme God you mentioned, is he the same one that the legends say was born in the Southern Region as an Evil God?"

"The Supreme God is not the Evil God!" Elder Tan suddenly grew agitated, "He is the god of the Jiuli Tribe, and under his rule, Jiuli lived harmoniously with the Human Clan. The so-called Evil God legend only emerged after his fall, a shameless rumor!"

After his recounting, Chu Liang finally understood the old man’s background.

Just like every Ninth Realm Godly presence once left something behind for themselves, that ancient Jiuli Evil God also left a way out for himself.
