Chapter 133 Cyan Robes

Cyan robes?

Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

That's great!

Cyan robes were a higher rank than white robes. In a county town like Qing Silk Town, cyan robes were basically the highest rank.

As for the Chief Cyan Robe, it was still within the cyan robe category, just half a head taller than ordinary cyan robes, a kind of commander-in-chief concept within the county.

As a secure job, the higher the position, the better. Whether it was to be promoted later or to stay in Qing Silk Town, it would be excellent.

"Little Ye, if you want to choose a cultivation method, don't forget what I told you, choose carefully."

"I understand, Lord Han."

And so, it was decided.

After leaving the door, Tian Erjun ordered the other white robes to take the letters he had prepared and start the summoning of their sect.

He himself also hurriedly left Qing Silk Town, riding Qing Silk horses and galloping away.

Tian Erjun had a more important task. Whether Qing Silk Town could be defended depended on whether he could gather the high-end power of the sect within three days.

As for requesting assistance from the upper-level Qing Division, that was more a matter of luck.

They only sent a few white robes to seek help.

But everyone knew that the upper-level Qing Division in Chu Nuan City would definitely not be able to provide support within three days.

They would either come to inspect the ruins of Qing Silk Town, or to clean up the aftermath. They couldn't count on them for immediate combat power.

Of course, if Qing Silk Town could stop the underground army of nightmares and form a stalemate, dragging on for ten days or half a month, then there would naturally be plenty of support.

But that was a bit unrealistic.

"Lord Han, how is Lin Ling's situation?"

Hearing Fang Yue mention Lin Ling, Lord Han frowned slightly, with a hint of incomprehension and confusion in his expression.

"Captain Lin's situation... seems to be a little different from mine. I can't say exactly, but my understanding doesn't seem to work on Captain Lin. We can only wait for him to wake up before examining him."

Fang Yue sighed. Lin Ling was also pitiful, with only one eye left, and still in the [Nightmare Eye] state. If his condition worsened and he ultimately became a nightmare, then he would have to personally send him on his way.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue still felt a little sad. After all, Lin Ling had been a friend who had accompanied him for a long time.

"Don't be too pessimistic. As a vagrant, Qing Chen's research in this area is surprisingly deep. Before I came here, I was actually exchanging knowledge with Qing Chen on this subject. The more I understand, the more I can feel the terrifying ambition of the Phoenix Organization. Its goals are probably beyond our comprehension."

After a pause, Lord Han explained, "Even those great masters of the Qing Kingdom who specialize in the study of nightmares, in terms of the depth of [Nightmare Studies], are probably not as thorough or in-depth as the Phoenix Organization.

"In addition, the Qing Kingdom is no longer what it once was. From top to bottom, it is filled with a decaying atmosphere. Charlatans posing as masters, swindling funding from the Qing Kingdom, repeatedly succeed.

"Like a centipede, it dies but does not fall, merely lingering on.

"From what I know, academic research in the Qing Kingdom, whether theoretical or practical, has stagnated for many years.

"Someone like Qing Chen, with the comprehension to drill down, if he went to Qing Kingdom to study [Nightmare Studies], in the same amount of time, his achievements would probably be far less than they are now."

In his words, Lord Han was quite dissatisfied with the Qing Kingdom, but that was all.

It was like an objective and neutral evaluation of something he didn't like.

As for how much he wanted to contribute to the Qing Kingdom, or change it, there seemed to be none of that.

According to Lord Han's words: The Qing Kingdom is just that. What if it is destroyed? What does it have to do with me?

It seemed that Lord Han wanted to protect only Gu Yue Village, and if Gu Yue Village was gone, he wouldn't care much about anything else.

"Lord Han, I will definitely find the [Other Shore Flower] and heal you!" Fang Yue looked at Lord Han, who seemed a little down, and said firmly, looking directly into his eyes.

Lord Han smiled, his stick-figure-like small body supporting a large head, and shook his head slightly.

"Even if we find the Other Shore Flower, it's hard to say whether my body can recover, break through the limitations of the spiritual root, and achieve immortality."

But after all, it was a thought, and it was also Lord Han's long-standing obsession.

So hearing Fang Yue's vow and promise, he was still very happy, feeling like the seeds planted in the field had finally taken root and sprouted, eager to bear fruit and repay him.

After pondering for a moment, Lord Han asked You Sisi to leave the room first.

As Fang Yue watched, when only the two of them were left in the room, Lord Han took out a deep blue ring, like a drop of water condensed into an ice crystal, and said to Fang Yue, "This is my Ring of Inheritance."

"Lord Han?!"

Fang Yue was shocked.

He had indeed thought about inheriting Lord Han's inheritance before, but now his path was completely opposite to Lord Han's, with fire-based cultivation methods. Now specializing in ice-based... it wasn't impossible, but it felt strange.

Moreover, Lord Han's actions made Fang Yue a little unhappy. He felt that Lord Han giving away the inheritance meant giving up hope of recovering from his injuries, giving up hope of returning to the Rain-level, or even breaking through to the Immortal-level.

"Lord Han, I can't take this ring. When your body recovers, or your strength recovers, and you formally pass on your inheritance to me, making me the successor of your martial arts, then I can gladly accept it. But now, I want you to keep the inheritance first, don't give up hope!"

Fang Yue's words made Lord Han laugh a little.

"I know my body better than anyone else... it's very difficult to recover like this. Even if I now have a broader vision, with a new path to try and choose, it's just that the future is uncertain, and the result is unknown."

After a pause, Lord Han continued, "Actually, when Gu Yue Village was destroyed, and I heard that you killed Elder Chen of the Wu Rain Clan, I thought about giving you the inheritance. But at that time, you hadn't even reached the Innate Realm, and didn't even meet the minimum requirements to inherit my inheritance. That's why I hesitated to give it to you.

"I never expected that in the short time you've been in Qing Silk Town, your strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and now you've even reached the Innate Realm, crossing that threshold. Now that I've given you this thing, I can completely rest assured."

As he spoke, Lord Han once again used his stick-figure-like small hand to hand the ring to Fang Yue. But the small stick-figure body made of black matter could only hold the [Water Drop Crystal Ring] below Lord Han's head.

This scene looked a bit comical, but Fang Yue's eyes were a little red.

"Lord Han..."

"Take it, even if you can't use it, help me find a successor in the future to inherit my skills, it won't be in vain for my cultivation of you."

If a person reaches old age and fails to fulfill their wishes, they will inevitably want to leave something behind.

Lord Han didn't have many things to leave behind, and his inheritance was the most important.

Seeming to sense Lord Han's determination, Fang Yue was silent for a while, gritted his teeth, and took the [Water Drop Crystal Ring].

"Lord Han, I can accept the inheritance, but I also guarantee that I will definitely find a way to restore your body, keep you safe, and help you ascend to the Immortal Rank!"
