Chapter 2505 - 2195: Are You Talking About Lu Chen?

Upon hearing Helian Tieshan’s words, Li Shuo came to his senses and calmly replied, "If the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty already obtained the Ancient Inheritance, you wouldn’t have seen me today."

Helian Tieshan said, "Indeed, if you had gotten the Ancient Inheritance, you’d have sneaked away long ago."

At this point, Li Shuo continued, "Regardless of the conditions, we’re not going to hand over the mysterious forces departing the relics to you."

Hearing Li Shuo’s words, Helian Tieshan wasn’t bothered, as this involved the Ancient Inheritance, it’s normal for the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty to be unwilling to hand over those mysterious forces.

Helian Tieshan said, "The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty can’t consume the Ancient Inheritance alone, you should think it through."

"I guess many factions are already secretly forming alliances. Once you obtain the Ancient Inheritance, those forces will definitely besiege the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty."

"Getting the Ancient Inheritance doesn’t count as a skill; bringing the Ancient Inheritance back to Central State, back to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, is true skill."

Li Shuo laughed coldly and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Helian Tieshan picked up the teacup from the wooden table beside him, took a sip, and then leisurely said, "I’m just speaking the truth, and besides, Sky Wolf Palace isn’t that concerned about the Ancient Inheritance."

"If the benefits from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty are substantial enough, we, Sky Wolf Palace, are willing to withdraw from the contention for the inheritance, even help the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty in obtaining the inheritance, but it depends on what price your Great Yan Immortal Dynasty is willing to pay."

Although various factions desire the Ancient Inheritance, there are also strengths and weaknesses among these forces.

Sky Wolf Palace counts as a Super Force in Central State, but compared to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, it’s still far behind.

The foundation of an Immortal Dynasty is incomparable to ordinary forces, and Sky Wolf Palace is aware of its own strength. Even if they obtained the Ancient Inheritance, Sky Wolf Palace might not be able to hold onto it.

At that time, under attack from various major forces, they’d get nothing, so it’d be wiser to voluntarily relinquish the Ancient Inheritance in exchange for greater benefits.

As for why Helian Tieshan wants the mysterious forces from the relics?

It’s because he wants to investigate news about Yelv Nanyan, to see if Yelv Nanyan is still alive. Yelv Nanyan is, after all, the Saintess of Sky Wolf Palace and a woman favored by their Palace Master.

Upon hearing Helian Tieshan’s words, Li Shuo was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Sky Wolf Palace to quickly develop the idea of giving up the Ancient Inheritance.

But thinking about it, it’s expected; Sky Wolf Palace’s strength is far inferior to those Holy Lands, even if the Ancient Inheritance is brought out, Sky Wolf Palace might not be able to compete with those Holy Lands.

Rather than fighting for the Ancient Inheritance, it’s better to use the Ancient Inheritance to trade for some practical benefits.

Li Shuo then said, "If at the start you had come to us for an alliance, maybe I would’ve agreed; unfortunately, we’re not that interested in the Ancient Inheritance now."

Upon hearing Li Shuo’s words, Helian Tieshan paused.

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty isn’t interested in the Ancient Inheritance?

What a joke!

The Immortal Dynasty is strong and deeply rooted, their chances of obtaining the Ancient Inheritance are the greatest.

Li Shuo actually told him they aren’t interested in the Ancient Inheritance anymore—could it be because they know something?

Perhaps some changes have occurred regarding the Ancient Inheritance within the relics, causing Li Shuo and his group to lose interest in the inheritance.

Could it be that Lu Chen already obtained the Ancient Inheritance and has completely refined it?

At that moment, Li Shuo continued, "Though we won’t hand over those mysterious forces to you, we can share the information inside with your Sky Wolf Palace."

Upon hearing Li Shuo’s words, Helian Tieshan was shaken and immediately asked, "Are you serious?"

He wanted the mysterious forces from the relics primarily to investigate the intelligence within the relics; if he could obtain that information, it would be just as good without those mysterious forces.

Li Shuo said, "Of course, it depends on what kind of intelligence you want to inquire about."

Li Shuo pondered for a moment; although they aren’t very interested in the Ancient Inheritance anymore, if one day Lu Chen agrees to join the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and comes out from the relics, he would inevitably be besieged by other forces.

If they can pull in Sky Wolf Palace’s support, their pressure might be greatly reduced.

Lu Chen is an important figure; regardless of whether the Ancient Inheritance is with him, various forces won’t easily let Lu Chen leave.

No one can say for sure if he obtained the Ancient Inheritance; if they let Lu Chen leave, and the inheritance is with him, wouldn’t it be giving away the inheritance?

Furthermore, Lu Chen’s talent is exceptional; those forces likely already realize this.

If they can bring Lu Chen on board, it may mean their faction may gain a future Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Those top forces wouldn’t easily let Lu Chen go to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, would they?

Helian Tieshan glanced at Li Shuo, seemingly trying to read Li Shuo’s plans.

Li Shuo agreed so easily—it couldn’t be that he’s trying to fool Helian Tieshan with false intelligence, right?

Helian Tieshan finally said, "I want to know about our Saintess’s news."

Li Shuo said, "That’s simple; I’ll send some mysterious forces into the relics to investigate information about your Saintess. As soon as there’s news, I’ll have someone inform you."

Helian Tieshan asked, "What are your conditions?"

Li Shuo said, "When withdrawing from the Border Wilderness, I hope Sky Wolf Palace will stand with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty."

This made Helian Tieshan somewhat incredulous.

Having Sky Wolf Palace stand with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty when withdrawing from the Border Wilderness?

If the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty were simply withdrawing from the Border Wilderness, they wouldn’t need anyone’s help, nor would they need any power to stand with them. They just need to declare the abandonment of the Ancient Inheritance like the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land did and then withdraw directly.

Now drawing in Sky Wolf Palace means they likely already obtained the Ancient Inheritance, or have clues about it, and obtaining it is now certain, thus needing someone to support the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty in their withdrawal.

Helian Tieshan chuckled and said, "You clearly already have clues about the Ancient Inheritance."

Li Shuo calmly said, "It has nothing to do with the Ancient Inheritance."

Helian Tieshan said, "You want us, Sky Wolf Palace, to stand by your side, yet claim you have no clues about the Ancient Inheritance? If you had no information, why would you need Sky Wolf Palace?"

Li Shuo said, "Indeed, we have no information about the Ancient Inheritance, but we need to take someone away."

Li Shuo wasn’t worried about revealing the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s plan; he knew many factions were already eyeing Lu Chen. Even if he exposed their intentions, it didn’t matter, because everyone’s thinking the same.

Upon hearing Li Shuo’s words, Helian Tieshan immediately understood without further explanation; he knew Li Shuo was aiming to take Lu Chen away.

Lu Chen is closely related to the Ancient Inheritance, and his power has been increasing rapidly, causing people to suspect the inheritance might be with him. Coupled with his terrifying talent, various factions indeed want to take Lu Chen away.

Helian Tieshan said, "You’re talking about Lu Chen, aren’t you?"

"What’s the difference between taking Lu Chen away and taking the Ancient Inheritance away?"

"Who doesn’t know the Ancient Inheritance might already be with Lu Chen? If you want to take Lu Chen away and also want us, Sky Wolf Palace, to stand by your side, that price isn’t going to be low."

Li Shuo said, "The Ancient Inheritance is not with Lu Chen."

Helian Tieshan said, "Whether the inheritance is with Lu Chen or not isn’t up to the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty to decide."

"Even if the inheritance isn’t with him, if you want our Sky Wolf Palace to help, you should offer as if the inheritance is with him."
