"Such arrogance."

An aged voice came from beside Han Feng.

Gu Ruyan was startled and quickly hid behind Han Feng.

"It seems that you have a problem with me, senior?"

Han Feng could sense that the old man's voice was powerful, suggesting that he was likely a powerful expert at the Earthly Realm in his previous life.

However, he was not afraid at all. Just as he said, there was nothing to be afraid of for a Heavenly Realm expert after death.

Even if he encounters a living Earthly Realm expert, there is nothing to be afraid of.

With the talisman of the Talisman Emperor, Han Feng has no problem escaping even if he can't win.

"I do have a problem with you, but what good is it? I've lost my physical body and can only eke out a living here."

The aged voice rang out again.

Don't you want to leave here?

Han Feng asked.

"I want to leave here, but you're a cunning little devil. If I possess your body, you might play me to death. So I'll stay here for now."

"Look at what you're saying, I'm not that good."

"If you weren't that powerful, you wouldn't have been able to obtain the inheritance of the strongest ancient ancestor."

"What I received was only the inheritance of the Dao Ancient Clan, not the inheritance of the strongest ancient ancestor."

Han Feng hadn't expected this soul lamp to be so powerful, capable of sensing his own bloodline.

"The bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor."

Gu Ruyan's mouth was wide open.

She had thought that Han Feng's ancient clan bloodline was very powerful, but she never expected that Han Feng had obtained the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor.

Gu Ruyan quickly became worried about her own safety, as she now knew this senior's biggest secret.

"Senior, don't worry, I won't tell anyone this secret."

Gu Ruyan has an extremely strong will to survive.

Han Feng ignored Gu Ruyan and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have been very powerful in your lifetime and held a high position in the Dao Gu Clan."

"That's right, I am the tenth patriarch of the Dao Gu Clan. In my lifetime, my cultivation level was at the late stage of the Dao Tian Realm, just one step away from the Tian Yi Realm. I am also the strongest patriarch in the history of the Dao Gu Clan."

Gu Chenmian answered.

"Senior, you're so straightforward, I find it hard to believe that what you're saying is true."

"What's there to deceive? I can't leave Valhalla anyway, so I might as well tell you the secret."

"It seems that you have thought things through very well, senior."

Han Feng nodded.

"My Daogu clan has not had a member come to receive the inheritance for so long. If I'm not mistaken, the Daogu clan should be extinct." Gu Chenmian sighed.

"You should be able to guess this without me saying it. The Dao Ancient Clan has been extinct for a long time," Han Feng nodded.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have told the elders of the Dao Gu Clan that we are the bloodline of the strongest ancient ancestor. If we go too far in the Northern Region, it will easily arouse public anger. But the elders of the Dao Gu Clan did not listen to me at all. They felt that the Dao Gu Clan had the right to be domineering, so why should they keep a low profile? Things still developed as I thought. The entire Dao Gu Clan died at the hands of its own tyranny."

"Senior, I have a question for you. You are at the Earth Heaven Realm and a powerful member of the Dao Ancient Clan. There are very few people who can kill you. Why did you perish and end up lying in this Hall of Heroes?"

"I told you, you little devil, you really are a little devil. You're afraid I'm deliberately hiding the truth about my death and trying to trick you."

"No, I'm just curious. If you don't want to talk about it, there's nothing I can do."

Han Feng was simply curious; he didn't necessarily want to know the answer.

“I’ve been here for so long, what can’t I say?”

Gu Chenmian sighed, "If I hadn't perished, the Dao Gu Clan might have continued to exist and wouldn't have been destroyed by other clans. Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in this world."

"Actually, my demise is a very normal thing. My realm has reached the late stage of the Earth Heaven Realm. In many people's eyes, my realm is already very powerful."

"But for me, this realm is not enough. The strongest ancient ancestor realm is not the Heavenly One Realm. I am only one step away from the Heavenly One Realm."

"I believe that as long as my realm breaks through to the Heavenly One Realm, I can also create a legend. The strongest ancient ancestor is very powerful, but I am not weak at all. I will become the second ancient ancestor of all ancient races."

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely surpass the strongest ancient ancestor and become the strongest ancient ancestor of our ancient clan. Then I will take the first step into the Heavenly Realm."

Gu Ruyan interrupted, "And then you failed, leaving only a divine soul?"

Gu Chenmian was speechless for a moment, all his previous arrogance vanished.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please spare my life, senior."

Gu Ruyan quickly apologized.

"It's alright."

Gu Chenmian said helplessly, "I had too many ideas. With my talent, how could I possibly surpass the strongest ancient ancestor? That would be far too presumptuous. I died in an accident when I was breaking through to the Heavenly One Realm, and my remnant soul remained in this Hall of Heroes, along with a few drops of divine blood."

"It seems you're in a pretty bad situation, just one step away from breaking through to the Heavenly One Realm."

Han Feng nodded thoughtfully.

"I've come to terms with it. Maybe I was just too ambitious and unlucky."

Gu Chenmian let out a soft sigh.

"If there's nothing else, senior, I'll continue on my way."

Han Feng didn't want to waste any more words with Gu Chenmian.

"You may leave now. The outcome of our Hall of Heroes is quite good. The Dao Ancient Clan has been destroyed, and the legacy belonging to the Dao Ancient Clan should also disappear."

Gu Chenmian sighed.

Gu Ruyan followed Han Feng forward without any objection.

Compared to her predecessors, she was just a newbie.

Seeing how frank and seemingly harmless the patriarch of the Daogu clan was, one could see that he was quite honest.

The senior beside her showed no intention of saving her, and Gu Ruyan didn't think it was the senior's fault.

Rather, it was because the patriarch of this ancient clan was hiding some secret that made this senior hesitant to take him away.

Han Feng walked a short distance forward and immediately realized something was wrong.

He always felt like someone was following him, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Just as Han Feng was about to leave the Hall of Heroes, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Senior, why did you suddenly stop walking?"

Gu Ruyan asked in confusion.

"That Dao Gu clan chief from earlier is suspicious!"

Han Feng immediately discovered the problem.

"Is there something wrong with that clan leader?"

Gu Ruyan looked confused: "The patriarch of this ancient clan is a pretty good person. He talked to us a lot just now, and he didn't stop us from leaving."

"That's his problem."

Han Feng didn't believe that a patriarch of the Daogu Clan would treat him so well.

In particular, the patriarch of the Daogu clan knew that he had obtained the strongest ancient ancestral bloodline inheritance.

He talked to me about so many things, acting like I was a distinguished guest.
