Both of them had met a few years ago in a great battle against the demonic path.
At that time, Lin Qiyuan, along with some of his fellow members of the Chuyan Lin Family, were engaged in a tough battle against the demonic cultivators, with the number of the other party exceeding theirs by a third.
There was even a great demonic cultivator in the mid stages of Golden Core Realm who seemed to be practically invincible in the battlefield and was wantonly slaughtering all righteous path cultivators like chickens and dogs.
Even a couple of righteous path Golden Core Realm cultivators combined couldn’t resist that demonic cultivator.
In that hopeless situation, Lu Qingfeng appeared in the sky with a flaming bow in his hand, with three suns radiating above his head and continously circling around him, and shot out countless beams of divine light from the bow that drowned the demonic cultivator into an endless sea of flame.
He alone destroyed that great demonic cultivator, raising the morale of the righteous path to an unprecedented level.
It was only then did he reveal that he was from the Eternal Peak and a Personal Disciple of the Master of Eternal Peak, causing the Eternal Peak’s reputation to soar and the image of Tian Yongheng to become extremely high in the hearts of all Immortal Cultivators of not just the Qingyun Region, but also those cultivators of the righteous path from other regions.
This was the disciple of someone suspected to be a Tribulation Transcendence Realm mighty figure!
There were only a few such existences throughout the State of Feng known to the public!
Most importantly, this course of action also displayed the Eternal Peak’s stance.
The Eternal Peak had also participated in the Righteous-Demonic War!
It was worth mentioning that the people of the Brilliant Starlight Sect from that day had hidden Tian Yongheng’s true strength very well and not let anyone know the fact that he was at least one of the top existences even among the Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts.
Despite that, many experts respected him even though they did not even see him, including Lin Qiyuan.
From that day, both Lu Qingfeng and Lin Qiyuan traveled the world together and assisted various battlefields in defeating the demonic path, earning a considerable reputation throughout the Qingyun Region.
Right now, they were traveling on their flying swords with another person along with them.
Even though they didn’t need flying swords being at the Innate Realm and Golden Core Realm respectively, they still liked to use them.
Specially Lu Qingfeng, who was standing on his Dual Bladed Clear Jade Sword, moving at a fast speed.
At this moment, Lin Qiyuan subtly turned to look at the third person beside him and Lu Qingfeng.
He wore a red cloak which completely covered both his figure and presence. Even Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it, and it was no doubt that it was a Dharma Artifact.
His face was completely dark, he had no facial features at all, and it was like staring into a black hole. Aside from his deep voice that seemed to come from the abyss itself, there was nothing discernible about him.
They had encountered this expert some time ago and had been utterly defeated by his hands.
This fellow was extremely strong!
Lu Qingfeng even suspected that he had surpassed the Golden Core Realm, otherwise, there was no way that he could have lost to someone in less than 3 breaths of time even with his Providence and various powerful abilities.
More importantly, he was a demonic cultivator!
They had been forcefully suppressed and had no choice but to follow him since then.
He claimed that he could give the two of them a great opportunity, but they couldn’t trust him completely and were still on guard.
They couldn’t refuse even if they wanted to, so why not just follow him and at least pretend to have submitted?
This was their tacit understanding after being sworn brothers and traveling the world for years.
Lu Qingfeng also had another option, which was to inform the upper echelons of Eternal Peak about this issue through the Symphony of Infinite Distance which his master had imparted him.

However, he did not inform anyone about this as he felt that he should deal with his problems on his own.
He was no longer a youngster who needed to be protected.
He was already hundreds of years old and a powerful Golden Core Realm cultivator, someone who had led the righteous path to victory quite a few times throughout the past few years of war.
He knew he had to take responsibility for himself.
Not to mention the fact that the situation was still under control right now. If things got really out of hand, he would definitely not hesitate to contact either a Supreme or his senior sister.
Even contacting his junior brother or sister would be enough to let the Eternal Peak know that he was in grave danger.
The reason he felt he shouldn’t contact his master was because he thought that his master may be in seclusion and wouldn’t like to be disturbed with such matters.
After all, even the First Supreme, Tian Yunchen, was a Void Refinement Realm great cultivator who could handle everything below the Void Refinement Realm level.
Even this powerful demonic cultivator may not have a chance against him.
This was why he was confident and dared to be reckless.
As for Lin Qiyuan, he couldn’t contact anyone because his Communication Jade had been shattered in the battle with the mysterious demonic cultivator earlier.
At this point, the three of them stopped over a mountain surrounded by a lake. This place was millions of miles away from the Qingyun Region, and it had taken them quite a while to get here.
The demonic cultivator turned to look at the two of them before speaking in a deep, unfathomable tone of voice, "This mountain suppressed a Void Refinement Realm great cultivator of the demonic path once. His inheritance, including the many Dharma Artifacts, Pills, Talismans etcetera are still there. I don’t have any interest in it, so you both can take it as a fortuitous encounter."
His voice was calm, cold even, with no ripples.
However, his words made both Lu Qingfeng and Lin Qiyuan hesitate.
The inheritance of a Void Refinement Realm cultivator was indeed a great opportunity, but for it to be of the demonic path...
Wouldn’t that it equivalent to betraying the righteous path?
Both of them thought of the same thing.
They also thought that this could be a scheme to control them and invade the righteous path, since both of them possessed a special status.
If I accept this opportunity, what would master think of me?
There were simply too many risks involved!
Lin Qiyuan thought the same.
Sensing their hesitation, the demonic cultivator beside them spoke again, his tone of voice still calm, "There’s no need to think so much. I’m not trying to scheme against you nor your backers.
Even if you accept the inheritance, you won’t become demonic cultivators and won’t be considered to have betrayed the righteous path. It’s only a opportunity. If you don’t want to accept, it’s alright. I’ll just find someone else then."
As soon as he said that, both of them were stunned and confused.
They could refuse and he won’t force them anymore?
He could just find other inheritors?
Then what was the point of this all?
Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but ask cautiously in a low voice, "Then what is your motive behind all this? There’s no such thing as free lunch in this world. You must have your own reasons to hand over opportunities to living beings, specifically to those of the righteous path despite you yourself being a demonic cultivator."
Lin Qiyuan also looked towards the demonic cultivator with a skeptical gaze.
A long silence ensued for a while.
None of them spoke.
Both Lu Qingfeng and Lin Qiyuan got their answers from this silence.
He was not going to tell them anything.
"Alright, we will accept the inheritance."
Lu Qingfeng replied.
He and Lin Qiyuan had just conversed through voice transmission, and come to the conclusion that it was better to accept the inheritance than resist it.
No matter what, it was an opportunity, after all.
The demonic cultivator had not really harmed them ever since he defeated them.
They were only suppressed and forced to follow him.
He did not eye their talents or treasures, and he didn’t leave any hidden dangers in their bodies, either.
It was enough to show that even though he was definitely plotting something, he was still trustable. There was also a possibility that he was afraid of offending someone he couldn’t afford to.
This subconsciously caused them to relax and, in the end, accept the inheritance.
"Very well then. I’ll leave you two here and come back in at most 50 years. You should have obtained the inheritance by then. Continue to follow me and you’ll obtain many more great opportunities."
The demonic cultivator’s voice sounded again from his blank face before he turned into a streak of black light and disappeared into the horizon.
Lu Qingfeng looked into the direction the black light disappeared with complicated emotions.
