733: Chapter 733: Ancient Emperor-Level Expert (Fourth Update) 733: Chapter 733: Ancient Emperor-Level Expert (Fourth Update) “I wonder if this Black Corpse King has collected any treasures.”

Although the Black Corpse King was in the Early Stage of the Golden Body Realm, it had no value at all.

Long Yan’s gaze fell on the stone fortress ahead.

The rich evil qi emanating from the stone fortress was quite strong.

Even if there were no treasures inside, absorbing that evil qi would still be a great harvest.

Then, Long Yan entered the stone fortress.

“Huh, there’s actually a passage here.”

After entering the stone fortress, Long Yan discovered that there was a passage within.

The passage led to an unknown place, but the deeper he went, the stronger the evil qi became.

It seemed that this passage led to the underground, and something was definitely hidden down there.

Perhaps there were really treasures in there.

“Let’s take a look!”

Long Yan went deeper without any hesitation, but his expression became cautious, as he didn’t know what dangers might lie within.

The passage was very deep, and Long Yan had advanced more than two hundred meters without reaching the end of it.

Almost another hundred meters deeper, Long Yan finally reached the end of the passage.

There should be a relatively spacious underground space ahead.

“Roar.”

Just as Long Yan stepped out of the passage, a roar sounded.

At the same time, a black claw reached towards him.

Long Yan’s reaction was swift, and within a split second, he struck the black claw with his saber, then dodged to the other side.

This Black Corpse King attacking him was stronger than the one outside.

“Five Black Corpse Kings.”

There were five Black Corpse Kings ahead, each one stronger than the one he had killed.

Among them, one was in the Late Stage of the Golden Body Realm, another in the Early Stage of the Great Dao Realm, and the remaining three were at the peak of the Golden Body Realm.

At this moment, the five Black Corpse Kings were all showing their ferocity and had locked him in their breaths.

“It would be a bit troublesome to kill these five Black Corpse Kings.

I might as well let Knife Slave handle it.”

With his strength, it would cost him a lot to kill all these Black Corpse Kings.

But if Knife Slave dealt with them, it could be done in an instant.

In the next moment, Knife Slave emerged from the Azure Dragon Ring and immediately pounced on the headless Black Corpse Kings.

Knife Slave made his move, and naturally, the five Black Corpse Kings were no match for him.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, all of them were beheaded by Knife Slave.

“Is it just a nest of Black Corpse Kings?”

Long Yan looked around and found nothing, which made him doubt.

“Boom!”

However, just then, a stone wall in front suddenly exploded, and a strong momentum burst out from within, sending Knife Slave flying back.

“Ancient Emperor-Level Expert!”

Long Yan’s face changed; that breath was definitely that of an Ancient Emperor-Level Expert.

There was actually an Ancient Emperor-Level Expert hidden in this Black Corpse Gorge.

“Kid, you’ve got guts, daring to kill this emperor’s Black Corpse Puppet.”

An old, gloomy voice came from behind the stone wall, followed by an elderly man who walked out.

This old man was as thin as a stick and somewhat resembled the Black Corpse King.

His hair was completely white and sparse.

He had reached the twilight years, with only skin and bones remaining.

“This Ancient Emperor’s lifespan is near its end!”

Long Yan secretly observed the condition of the old man and found that his vitality was almost cut off, a clear sign that his lifespan was about to be exhausted.

An Ancient Emperor usually had a lifespan of thirty thousand years.

It seemed that this Ancient Emperor and the Kourong Saber Emperor were from the same time period, both being ten-thousand-year-old antiques.

“Kid, you’re quite daring!”

The elderly man stopped twenty meters away from Long Yan, his gaze falling upon Long Yan as he spoke coldly.

“Senior, I didn’t know that you were cultivating in seclusion here.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to barge in.

I’ll leave now, and I promise I won’t reveal your presence here.”

Long Yan slightly bowed to the elderly man, and after speaking, prepared to leave with Knife Slave.

This elderly man was a genuine Ancient Emperor, and he didn’t want to provoke such a powerful figure.

Even if he had a trump card to fight against this Ancient Emperor-level expert, he didn’t want to waste it here.

“Wait!”

However, the elderly man stopped Long Yan.

Upon hearing this, Long Yan’s brow furrowed, and he secretly prepared to use his trump card.

“You’re able to kill a Golden Body Realm Black Corpse at the early stage of the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Realm, and you’ve comprehended Six Parts of Blade Intent.

Kid, you have good talent,” the elderly man seemed to have completely seen through Long Yan’s secret and continued, “Kid, I won’t kill you.

Are you willing to take me as your master?”

This Ancient Emperor actually wanted to take Long Yan as his disciple!

“Um…

I’m afraid I can’t do that!”

Long Yan hesitated for a moment before flatly refusing.

He already had a master, the Beast Emperor.

It was unlikely that a single Ancient Emperor was qualified to take him as a disciple.

“Kid, if you don’t become my disciple today, you won’t leave here alive.

If you do, I can teach you all my unique skills and even help you break through to the Golden Body Realm, or even the Great Dao Realm,” the elderly man threatened and promised Long Yan at the same time.

“Senior, if there is anything you need me to do, I will do my best to help, but I cannot become your disciple.

I already have a master, a Great Emperor!” Long Yan also mentioned his backing, as a Great Emperor was enough to make an Ancient Emperor wary.

“A Great Emperor!”

There was a clear trace of apprehension in the elderly man’s eyes.

Indeed, a Great Emperor was enough of a threat to Long Yan.

Long Yan’s talent and strength were extraordinary, so he must have an extraordinary background.

In addition, Long Yan had a Nie Pan Realm Knife Slave at his side, which only made the elderly man even more convinced of Long Yan’s words.

“Sigh, so be it.”

The elderly man sighed and said, “Kid, I won’t kill you or force you to be my disciple, but you must help me with one thing.”

“What is it?” Long Yan asked.

If he guessed correctly, this elderly man should be here trying to break through the Emperor’s Great Barrier, but his lifespan was nearing its end, making it impossible for him to break through to the Emperor level, just like the Kourong Saber Emperor.

“Help me kill someone.

His name is Mangyang Taoist Master,” the elderly man said solemnly.

When he mentioned the name Mangyang Taoist Master, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Mangyang Taoist Master was undoubtedly his life-and-death enemy.

“Senior, forgive me for asking, but who exactly is this Mangyang Taoist Master?” Long Yan asked, as it was the first time he had heard this name.

“He was once the Sect Master of the Refining God Sect, one of the four major forces in the Southern Wasteland Continent,” the elderly man said solemnly.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan’s expression changed.

He never expected that Mangyang Taoist Master was actually a powerful figure from the Spirit Refining Palace, who had once been the Sect Master of the Spirit Refining Palace.

He was likely already at the Ancient Emperor stage now.

“It seems the Four Major Forces are not as simple as they appear.”

Among the Four Major Forces in the Southern Wasteland Continent, there were at least Ancient Emperors present.

This was the most conservative estimate.
