Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 68 Corruption

"Did you come here for the treasure too?", Yuan Zhuo suddenly asked, his tone polite, while his right hand put his sword back on its sheath.

In response to his question, Chu Wuyao didn't deny it and nodded her head.

In fact, there was no reason to lie.

During their brief confrontation, the two of them had already judged each other's strength.

Even though neither of them used their full power, Chu Wuyao understood that the two of them had roughly the same combat power.

She could always use the Blood Flag to gain an advantage, but she guessed that just like her, Yuan Zhuo, as one of the strongest outer disciples of the Original Desire Sect, should also have a few trump cards.

Seeing her nod in agreement, Yuan Zhuo wasn't surprised.

If anything, he would find it strange if someone with Chu Wuyao's strength just happened to pass by this location that may contain a treasure.

With a thought of his mind, Yuan Zhuo didn't hesitate and took a yellow parchment out of his space ring, before showing it to Chu Wuyao.

"You too?"

Chu Wuyao looked at the yellow parchment and also took a similar parchment.

Instantly, it became very obvious that both of their maps were exactly the same, as if they were copies of each other.

This made Chu Wuyao quite speechless, wondering if this whole thing was actually a scam.

"I've already investigated the area around this place, but I haven't found anything of value."

Yuan Zhuo didn't know about Chu Wuyao's inner thoughts, but he spoke up, explaining the situation with a smile on his face.

His tone was very friendly and his actions and manners were polite, making him look like a gentleman.

Chu Wuyao heard his words and understood that he was suggesting that the two of them should cooperate.

She neither agreed nor disagreed, waiting to find the true location of the treasure first.

If the treasure was just a worthless inheritance, there would be no issue with sharing it with Yuan Zhuo.

On the other hand, if the treasure was some powerful technique or a magic weapon, any agreement they currently reached would end up being a joke.

At this time, he had just noticed that the tail that was tying him up had disappeared, but he still couldn't be happy.

Staring at the two people that stood in front of him and could kill him with a wave of their hands, he panicked.

"Se-senior sister, senior brother, is there something I can help you with?", he mustered up his courage and spoke up, while his eyes wandered around, trying to find any way to escape.

But no matter how much he looked, he found that he could do nothing to escape his current predicament.

"Plop!"

Chu Wuyao originally thought that she would have to spend some time to interrogate him and get some information out of him, but when she was about to speak, the young man hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Senior sister, senior brother, are you here for the inheritance?", he lowered his head to show respect and asked.

The man didn't give them any chance to respond.

His right hand reached into his pocket and he took out a white ball, then presented it to Chu Wuyao and Yuan Zhuo.

"Here, here. I've been safekeeping the key of the inheritance and have been looking to find its rightful owner."

"Now that I've seen you, I realize that only talented people like the two of you deserve to get this inheritance!"

The man spoke with a flattering smile and his eyes became a little blurry as he spoke, as if he was ready to shed tears of gratitude.

Seeing his actions and hearing his words, Chu Wuyao was shocked.

It took some time for her to recover and when she did, she couldn't help but sigh in emotion.

"I didn't expect that even a useless person like you would be able to recognize my excellence."

"Sure enough, no matter how much I try to hide it, there is no way that I can keep my supreme qualifications hidden."

While speaking, one of her hands reached out and picked up the white ball, while the other one patted the young man lightly on the shoulder.

Holding the white ball, Chu Wuyao lowered her head and looked at it curiously.

It was an orb, seemingly made out of glass and filled with a strange white liquid.

It was slightly cold to the touch, but apart from its low temperature, she could find nothing special about it.

Just when she was about to investigate further, Chu Wuyao felt a faint movement coming from her pocket.
