The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 400 The God-Emperor'S Legacy Is Real!

Chapter 400 The God-Emperor's Legacy is Real!

The representatives of various sects were already terrified after their leaders were defeated, to the point that they forgot about escaping. Plus, Azure Fang and his group had been keeping a close watch, so everyone, except for the Morse family members, remained rooted in place.

"Let them go!" Billy waved his hand.

Most of these people were ordinary disciples of the major sects, and it was not feasible to kill them all.

"Thank you for your mercy!" Upon hearing Billy's words, everyone quickly bowed and expressed their gratitude, then helped their injured comrades descend the mountain.

"Stout, check if he has any poison or such in his mouth!" Billy pointed to Ink Pavilion's elder, Inkforge, and instructed.

"Sure thing!" Stout responded and approached Inkforge. He rummaged around in Inkforge's mouth.

Poor Elder Inkforge, aside from being able to move his eyeballs, he couldn't budge at all and had to endure Stout's probing, almost vomiting several times. If looks could kill, Stout would have been executed long ago.

"Boss, nothing!" After a while, Stout wiped his hands on Inkforge's robe and spoke.

Watching his actions, Ivy Chandler, Night Orchid, and Frostblade, the three female companions, were left speechless. Stout was intentionally making things difficult. With his skills, there was no need for such a meticulous inspection.

"Remove the silver needles from his body!" Billy ordered.

"Understood!" Stout nodded and swept his palm, pulling out several silver needles from Inkforge's body.

As soon as his confinement was released, Inkforge bent over and vomited vigorously, as his stomach churned.

"Answer two questions, and I'll make it quick for you!" Billy spoke calmly.

Inkforge had already lost his cultivation, and even if Billy didn't kill him, he only had about a month left to live, so sparing his life was inconsequential.

"First, tell me the location of Ink Pavilion's headquarters."

"Second, tell me what Ink Pavilion has discovered in this mountain range."

Billy had heard the conversation between Inkforge and the others earlier. Initially, he had thought that the so-called God-Emperor's Legacy was just a fabrication by Ink Pavilion, but after hearing their discussion, he vaguely felt that it might indeed be possible.

Inkforge let out a heavy sigh. He knew he had no choice. In his current condition, Billy could easily force him to spill the beans.

"After my recent arrival in the Eastern Region, I was assigned a mission by the Sect Master himself. He knew about my situation, so he would definitely relocate the headquarters. The headquarters itself doesn't hold much, and changing the location isn't a big deal. Originally, even without any incidents, Ink Pavilion changes its headquarters every three years. It's one of the reasons why Ink Pavilion has lasted for thousands of years."

"Is there anything else? Are you really hiding something up in these mountains?" Billy shifted the conversation away from Ink Pavilion's headquarters, as Inkforge's information appeared to be truthful. "Yes!" Inkforge nodded. "The God-Emperor's Legacy is real! Two years ago, we obtained an incomplete map by chance, rumored to lead to the legacy site."

"For the past two years, we explored areas within our territory that resembled the incomplete map, and in the end, we found this mountain range. Over the past few months, we've had people searching within this range, and we did discover the Legacy site."

"Since you've found it, why didn't you act on it?" Billy asked.

"The Legacy site is not that simple. We've tried many times but failed. So, we thought of enlisting the help of the major sects to join forces." Inkforge replied.

"Lead the way!" Billy said sternly.

Following Inkforge's guidance, the group headed southeast.

"Billy, we shouldn't trust this guy completely," Ivy Chandler said as they walked.

"Hmm," Billy replied with a faint smile. "Let's see for ourselves."

Half an hour later, they crossed a dense primeval forest and arrived at a cliff shrouded in mist.

"We're here." Inkforge announced.

"Here?" Judge looked around but couldn't see anything except for towering trees and rocks.

"Yes," Inkforge walked to the edge of the cliff and pointed below. "It's right down there."

"Are you trying to deceive us into jumping off the cliff?" Judge sneered.

"About 20 meters below the cliff, there's a protruding platform with a cave. That cave is the Legacy site. Inkforge explained. "If you don't disperse the mist, you won't see the platform. That's why the other sects couldn't find it."

"Are you serious?" Soul Chaser asked skeptically.

"You'll see when you go down." Inkforge nodded.

"Boss, let me go down first." Vermilion Bird said as he walked towards the cliff's edge.

"Wait!" Billy's voice echoed.

Billy reached the cliff's edge. He first used his spiritual power to probe the area below. Then, he drew his Bloodshadow Fury blade and rapidly slashed sending waves of energy towards the area below. As the energy passed, it dispersed the mist, revealing a platform about twenty meters below where several people could stand.

"What an old devil, you Ink Pavilion! To find even a place like this. Impressive!" Judge exclaimed. "Is there any danger down there?"

"No," Inkforge shook his head.

"You'd better not be lying to us, or your fate will be worse than death!" Azure Fang warned sternly.

"I'll go down first, and you all can come down later." Billy said as he prepared to jump.

"Boss, let me go down first!" Casey and a few others spoke simultaneously.

"No," Billy replied. "Wait for me up here."

"I'll go with you. We don't know what's down there." Ivy Chandler said.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Billy reassured her with a smile.

With that, he leaped down. Twenty meters in height posed no problem for him. In fact, any warrior above the Battle God level would have no issue with such a jump.

After a dull thud, Billy landed on the stone platform. Looking around, he saw a cave about seven to eight meters wide, two to three meters tall, and roughly twenty meters deep. The cave walls were adorned with luminescent crystals, providing decent visibility. However, the view was obstructed by a bend in the cave, making it impossible to see beyond.

After probing the cave's interior with his spiritual power, Billy's brow furrowed slightly.

"Boss, are you still alive?" Stout popped his head over the cliff. Before he could finish his sentence, Ivy Chandler slapped the back of his head. "You jinx, how do you talk like that?"

"Uh..." Stout's mouth twitched, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Come down, all of you!" Billy's voice echoed from below.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

One by one, the group leaped down, with Casey grabbing Inkforge and jumping alongside him.

"Is this the place where the God-Emperor's Legacy is passed down?" Azure Dragon asked, looking at the cave.

"Is there anything strange inside?" Casey asked Inkforge with a serious tone. At this moment, he sensed a trace of apprehension in Inkforge eyes.
