After a long silence, finally, the attitude of the owner in the sarcophagus slowed down slightly.
"You're here to avoid dead cards."
"Since the senior Yuanzu knows about this, it's the best. I'll borrow the death-free card for a trip, and I will return it naturally when the junior comes back from Death Valley."
borrow!
It can be regarded as a favor for the Nanyu family, no, it should be a face given by Li Ye to the once invincible empress.
Otherwise, in his opinion, the Nanyu family is not qualified to take charge of such divine objects as death-free cards.
"How can I trust you?"
"Senior, you don't need to believe it. Whether you believe it or not, it all depends on you."
Once again fell into silence.
Yuanzu is not a fool, and the young man in front of him is not an ordinary person. Maybe he could still suppress it at his peak, but now, even if he has to fight for his life, he may not have a chance!
More importantly, even if he is not afraid of death, he still can't worry about the current Nanyu family.
The current Nanyu family is already in a state of crisis. If he were to leave, I really don’t know what would happen to the Nanyu family.
"Young man, you are very courageous. But often times, courage may not bring you the results you want."
Yuanzu's tone has become somewhat relaxed, but he is still obviously unwilling.
Li Ye smiled when he heard this and did not continue on this topic directly. Instead, he looked towards the oldest and mysterious tomb of the Nanyu family as if he were sightseeing.
There is not only one sarcophagus here, but some of the sarcophagi have already lost any breath. No matter how good the seal is, it is impossible for no breath to leak out.
There is only one explanation. The owners in those sarcophagi have already spent their lives in endless seals.
The number of people in the Nanyu family who are truly qualified to know these things can be counted on one hand.
"I wonder how many ancestors of the Nanyu family are still alive?"
Suddenly, Li Ye opened his mouth slightly.
Inside the cold jade sarcophagus, Yuanzu made no sound.
But Li Ye smiled and said, "The Nanyu family used to be quite prominent, not to mention commanding the world. Even the emperor-level forces had to give a bit of a thumbs-down, but I don't know what they will do now."
As he spoke, Li Ye looked at the cold jade sarcophagus.
These are the two largest sarcophagi here, but the other one is empty.
"snort!"
Yuanzu snorted coldly, obviously knowing why Li Ye asked this question.
How many ancestors of the Nanyu family are left?
It can be seen from the sarcophagi placed here! Most of them have no breath, and the only few are vaguely there.
In other words, when the last few surviving ancestors are sealed here and go west, the Nanyu family will almost become an empty shell!
No one knows better than the Yuanzu himself what will happen to an ancient family that doesn't even have a strong guardian.
"Young man, are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no, senior has misunderstood. Junior is just stating a fact. Now the Nanyu family has reached a point where there is no need to wait. Senior can protect them for tens of thousands of years, but I don't know how many more years I can continue to protect them?"
These words pierced the biggest knot in Yuanzu's heart.
The reason why he desperately wanted to survive was because he couldn't worry about the Nanyu family.
Li Ye smiled and continued to press, "One of the two imperial powers before was the Great Emperor Xingtian, and the other should be the Empress Jinghong, right?"
Yuanzu: "..."
To personally feel the invincible will of the great emperor, Li Ye came here just to confirm one thing!
Now, he can finally be sure!
Just one word, but the Yuanzu in the cold jade sarcophagus could no longer calm down.
"Empress Jinghong is no longer in the Nanyu family long ago! The imperial power that belonged to her just now was the remaining will of the death-avoidance card in the hands of the senior. I wonder if what the junior said is right or not?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire underground stone room was tense to the point of breaking out.
Li Ye has sixty-seven percent guesses in his mind, but judging from the current atmosphere, he can be more than 90% sure!
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power!
The Nanyu family is clearly at the end of its rope!
For a long time, a long sigh sounded in the stone room.
At the same time, the cold jade sarcophagus opened, and a skinny old man walked out of it.
"Senior seems to have figured it out."
Li Ye, the oldest ancestor of the Nanyu family, was a little surprised after seeing him.
Because according to rumors, the ancestor of the Nanyu family was only a half-emperor. But when he saw him today, he realized that the outside world had underestimated this old man!
This is clearly not a half-emperor! But a real imperial prince!
But Li Ye frowned.
"It seems that the senior suffered the trauma when he experienced the Emperor's Tribulation."
Why is it that as an emperor's heir, he only has the aura of a half-emperor? Li Ye finally knew the truth.
Imperial catastrophe! The divine punishment sent down from the sky! It is also the last threshold to enter the imperial realm.
The old man in front of him had not passed this test, but he did not expect to die. He was not dead, but the root cause of his illness had been tormenting him for tens of thousands of years.
Yuanzu was not surprised to see his old injury. No one in the Nanyu family even knew about this matter. He had been struggling to support it for tens of thousands of years. However, recently, he felt that he could no longer support it.
"Everything is destiny, young man, how do you see it?"
"Is it the will of the empress? Senior, I have had the honor to meet several great emperors, so I still have some idea of whether it is the will released by me."
The reason why Emperor Xingtian was scared away was because what Emperor Xingtian came was also a will attached to the emperor's objects, not himself. Li Ye naturally could tell the difference clearly. It could even be said that if Emperor Xingtian hadn't just come with a will,
But if he came in person, it would not be so easy for the Nanyu family to get through.
Of course, what really made him sure was that he was here.
If Empress Jinghong is really still alive, or still in Nanyu's family, then he can definitely notice it!
Yuanzu was silent for a long time. Now that the truth is known, he actually has no last trump card.
"You can take the escape card, but it must be taken away from my body."
It turned out to be a stubborn old man, and Li Ye felt helpless.
However, he was already prepared.
"Senior did not let go of the death-free card for two reasons. Firstly, the death-free card was the possession of Empress Jinghong back then, and it was an imperial object! At the critical moment, it was the last resort to save the Nanyu family. Secondly,
It should also be related to the relationship between Empress Jinghong and the Nanyu family back then."
After speaking, Li Ye smiled and said, "I wonder if what this junior said is true?"
"snort."
This is the default.
"In that case, this junior has a suggestion."
"explain!"
Yuanzu's expression was livid, but Li Ye knew that the old man in front of him would never refuse his proposal! As long as what he really cares about is the entire Nanyu family!
