I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"Indeed, they are all cunning and deceitful, one cannot be careless, or he would have escaped."

Xu Yan nodded; these remnant souls being able to survive until now naturally wasn't simple.

Fortunately, he had been cautious enough to completely annihilate the other party.

In the Heavenly Cave Ruins, the existence of such remnant souls meant that someone must have encountered them before, and perhaps had been misled by them.

Xu Yan searched the surroundings for a while longer to make sure nothing was missed, then continued his exploration.

The Heavenly Cave Ruins were not considered large, but they were not small either.

A meticulous exploration would take several days to complete.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he discovered a skull buried under loose soil, which was even more bizarre; it was blood-red as if it had been soaked in fresh blood.

With a wave of his hand, the skull floated up.

"Finally, I've been waiting for you!"

A faint red flame flickered within the eye sockets of the skull, emitting a sighing sound.

"I have been in silence for a long time, just waiting for a fated person to inherit my legacy…"

"Are there divine objects among these treasures?"

Xu Yan interrupted the other party and asked.

"Divine objects? What are they worth? Young man, don't set your sights too low. As long as you obtain my inheritance, not to mention divine objects, even the supreme treasures of the domain are at your disposal…"

The skull said proudly.

Xu Yan drew his sword. Surrounded by Sudden Wind Sword Intent, he said calmly, "Stop babbling, don't beat around the bush. Without divine objects, go to your death. As for your inheritance, I'm not interested!"

The skull was taken aback; how could this young man be so impatient and shortsighted?

Could it be that it had misjudged him?

"Young man, do you know who I am? Missing my inheritance will be the greatest regret of your life. All for some measly divine object..."

Xu Yan couldn't be bothered to listen any longer, swinging his sword directly to cut it down!

"Wait!"

The skull hurriedly spoke up.

"Speak!"

Xu Yan's sword stopped less than three inches above the skull.

"There are divine objects; my skull is a divine object. Once you accept my inheritance, you can have my divine object..."

Crack!

The skull was split open by a single strike, and the leaping red flame seemed to show a hint of bewilderment.

Why did the strike come so suddenly?

"What is this?"

He was immediately startled.

Whoosh!

Like a howling gust of wind, the red flame hadn't had the chance to say anything more before it was completely extinguished.

Xu Yan drove his sword into the ground, with the storm of Sudden Wind Sword Intent sweeping across all directions. Only after ensuring that no remnant souls were hiding did he sheathe his sword.

"What's up with these remnant souls?"

Xu Yan pondered.

Whether it was the remnant soul on the small tree earlier or this skull remnant soul, they exerted a kind of seductive power while speaking, aiming to bewilder people's minds.

He thought about the other exceptional talents who had entered the Heavenly Cave Ruins; if they encountered such remnant souls, they might easily be beguiled.

"With Master here, even if I were beguiled, it wouldn't become a serious issue."

Xu Yan continued his exploration.

Above the Evergreen Pavilion, Li Xuan suddenly looked towards the Heavenly Cave Ruins, showing a contemplative expression.

"These remnant souls, how odd it is that they all like to approach Xu Yan?"

No one else had encountered remnant souls like Xu Yan did. Among all the people, only Xu Yan had come across them.

It seemed the remnant souls were specifically targeting Xu Yan.

"These remnant souls don't belong to multiple people, but to one person, and..."

Li Xuan took a deep breath, harboring some speculations.

The remnant souls of the Heavenly Cave Ruins all belonged to one person, and they could not even be called remnant souls, but divided souls!

Some powerful being had divided its soul within the Heavenly Cave Ruins and, after suffering grave injuries, split into multiple remnant souls, existing in a unique way.

Furthermore, these remnant souls could not leave the Heavenly Cave Ruins.

Should they leave the Heavenly Cave Ruins, they would be obliterated by the Heaven and Earth Laws.

"Foreign invaders?"

Li Xuan suddenly became intrigued. If there were remnant souls present, couldn't he just capture one and interrogate it to learn the situation?

"Here comes another one aiming for Xu Yan; so keen on eyeing my disciple, are you?"

Li Xuan reached out with his hand, and a giant palm descended from the sky, aiming for the newly emerged remnant soul.

Xu Yan watched the leaping pearl in front of him, enveloped by the aura of a remnant soul, about to take action and annihilate it, when he saw his master intervene.

Above the Evergreen Pavilion, Li Xuan sat leisurely in a chair.

The small Great Wilderness Physiognomy appeared above his head, and a mysterious aura surged around him.

A pale red pearl hovered in front of him, spinning round and round, and suddenly a human face emerged on the pearl.

The face was filled with shock.

"Who are you?"

The face on the pearl asked in a deep voice.

"Speak, why target my disciple."

Li Xuan, however, looked indifferently at the face and asked.

The face on the pearl tensed up, frowning deeply as he said, "Since he's your disciple, let's leave things as they are, shall we?"

"Ha!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly. "Speak plainly and clearly, there might still be room for negotiation. Otherwise, your soul power won't need to exist anymore."

"Why must you do this, sir? I merely noticed your disciple is quite unique, different from the martial artists of this domain, and thus I was simply curious."

The face spoke with a somewhat cowardly tone.

"Is that all?"

Li Xuan looked at him dispassionately, "Explain properly—identity, background, intentions—all of it."

The face fell silent.

"Sir, I can't afford to provoke you, let's just drop it."

The face suddenly began to disintegrate, disintegrating instantly into nothingness.

Choosing to self-destruct rather than reveal anything, it preferred not to provoke Li Xuan, a presence that seemed unfathomable in its eyes.
