Chapter 1137 - Rebirth of the Old Monster
Astral Pet Store
âI just inherited the legacy. According to the ancient deityâs last wish, I have to run an errand for him, so that I could gain control of this residence and his treasures.â
Su Ping said the excuse he had thought of. He then spoke to Shen Huang, âMaster, I cannot carry out the task alone; I hope you can help me.â
âOf course.â Shen Huang readily accepted, not bothered that Su Ping wasnât using a courteous title.
Su Ping was already a Celestial State peer; he didnât really care about manners anymore.
âMaster, wait for me there,â said Su Ping telepathically. He then sent the coordinates of the spot in the extension of the ancient treeâs root to Shen Huang. âIâll be there soon.â
âBut if we both go, what about your residenceâ¦â Shen Huang frowned, and thought that Su Ping was too young and overly confident. He didnât think it was wise for the latter to have publicly said he was going for an errand, or why he was doing it.
Everybody learned that Su Ping had yet to acquire the treasures in the residence, and that he only inherited the power.
âItâs all right,â replied Su Ping with confidence via telepathy.
Shen Huang thought for a moment but chose to stay silent, seeing Su Pingâs relaxed attitude.
After all, Su Ping was no longer just a disciple of his; he would have lectured him in the past. He had to carefully consider the relationship between them at that moment. They had been master and disciple for only a few years; most of his other disciples had been with him for tens of thousands of years. The other Celestials were confused when they saw Shen Huang leave. Su Ping said, âIâm off to do that errand. Please watch over my residence for now; I will open it and release your disciples when I come back.â
Su Ping then teleported himself back into the ancient treeâs root through the Hollow Array.
Then, Su Ping rushed along the root and soon reached its end, which was already in the deep space beyond the residence.
Black light flashed on Su Pingâs body; the old man appeared and examined the darkness carefully. Soon, he said, âThatâs right. Your master is already outside.â
âOkay.â
Su Ping was relieved.
The old man instantly opened the channel for Su Ping and reminded him, âThere are chaos-based laws and disruptive power outside. Itâs difficult for you to survive there; youâd better ask the cauldron to look out for you, or you may get exposed easily.â âI would do that even if you didnât say anything,â said the cauldron woman with a snort in Su Pingâs body.
The old man didnât say anything else; he entered Su Pingâs small world as a wisp of smoke.
Su Ping was quite solemn; he knew the real life-and-death test was about to begin. He took a deep breath and walked out of the teleportation array; he felt that a power surged out of his second small world and enshrouded him the moment he stepped out. Su Ping then saw his master waiting for him in the deep space.
Shen Huangâs eyes glittered when he saw his disciple safely standing in that environment. He nodded and said, âYouâre here. How did you pick this place with such ease?â. âThis placeâ¦â
Su Ping was about to say somethingâthe residence behind him suddenly started to tremble, and a furious roar resounded. âWho did this? Which son of a bitch did this?â
He sounded extremely furious, and somehow familiar. Su Ping suddenly remembered it was Lin Xiuâs voice, whom he had annihilated.
Is the man not dead yet?
Also, his voice carried all the way here?
âHuh?â

Shen Huang also heard the roar and was slightly stunned by it. The roar came from the ruins, which were protected by the barrier; even the Celestials would have difficult to send their voices into the ruins; they certainly couldnât shout as loudly.
They wouldâve explored the ruins with echo devices if their voices could enter the residence.
Lin Xiu isnât dead? How is it possible? Could it be⦠Su Ping thought quickly, and his heart pounded when he came up with a terrible speculation. Did Lin Xiu somehow pass the second test, sneak to that place, and end up being possessed by Old Monster Ye?
Otherwise, he couldnât have uttered such a loud voice with a mere Star Lord cultivation!
Su Ping confirmed his theory as he felt the anxious urge from the old man and the cauldron in his second small world. He quickly said, âMaster, thereâs not enough time. Letâs get out of here.â
Shen Huang seemed puzzled; he looked at Su Ping thoughtfully and said, âIf youâre in any
my best to help you. I placed my hopes on Qianhou earlier because I wanted to protect you; I hope you can understand me.â
âThereâs a great devil being suppressed inside; I must accomplish the task right now to figure out a way to keep him suppressed,â said Su Ping quickly. He didnât care about his masterâs explanation anymore.
It was impossible for his master to make up for what he did anyway.
Shen Huangâs eyes glittered. He asked, âWhatâs this devilâs level?â
âCelestial State.â
âThen why donât you open the residence? Weâll kill him together,â suggested Shen Huang.
Su Ping said with a bitter smile, âThe devil is too ferocious; I fear he might kill someone at the cost of his own life.â
âYou underestimate Celestial experts; nobody can escape or kill any of us if all the twelve of us work together,â said Shen Huang peacefully.
Su Ping slightly changed his expression; he realized that his master had noticed the flaw in his excuse and figured out he was in a rush to leave that place.
âSir!â
Su Ping took a deep breath and stared at Shen Huang. It was the first time he had stared at a Celestial expert as a man of equal status. âDo you trust me? If you do, please come with me!â
The expertâs expression grew thoughtful as he gazed at Su Ping for a moment. In the end, he gave a slight nod and said, âFine, Iâll go with you, no matter where youâre headed!â Su Ping felt relieved, âSir, Iâm eternally in your debt!â
Shen Huang put on a smile. âOne day a master, always a master. Letâs go. Where to?â
âTo Rhea, in the Celestial Court,â said Su Ping. He stopped using excuses, since everything had reached that point.
It was no longer necessary to cover things up. His master had realized that his previous claims were untrue; he wouldnât be safe until he returned to his store.
Shen Huangâs eyes glittered. He nodded, no longer pressing for answers.
He opened a teleportation channel in the void and stepped in; Su Ping trailed behind.
Hardly had they left when a man with unkempt hair dashed out of the residence. It was none other than Lin Xiu whom Su Ping had killed earlier.
The shabby manâs eyes were full of brutality and ferocity when he saw the Celestial experts outside the residence.
Those Celestial State experts were considering whether or not they should just break in and look for treasures, since Su Ping and Shen Huang were gone; some thought that Su Ping had purposefully lured them to do that. So, they were still giving it a thought.
When Lin Xiu appeared out of nowhere-one of the Celestial experts was both stunned and delighted. âLin Xiu, is that you? Tell me what happened. Did Su Ping claim the legacy?â âSu Ping? The legacy?â
Lin Xiu felt dazed. Then, his bloodshot eyes emitted a dangerous vibe that didnât belong to the previous Lin Xiu; however, he lowered his eyes and covered up the effect.
So, that brat did all this!
place? I will surely erase your consciousnesses and refine you when I catch you! âLin Xiuâ roared crazily in his heart.
But his expression was back to normal when he raised his head. He said calmly, âMaster, I have the legacy; Iâve passed the test. Why do you think that brat claimed the legacy?â
