Chapter 1512: Chapter 1610: Wife of the Flame Emperor

“I never thought that after waiting so many years with my mistress, we would not see our master return, but would only await the arrival of his treasure,” the old man fixated on the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, his face showing a tinge of sorrow.

Fang Lin frowned upon hearing this and stared at the old man.

“Who exactly are you? And who is this woman?” Fang Lin asked.

The old man coughed repeatedly, his body seemed to be enveloped in an even heavier aura of twilight. Fang Lin could tell that this old fellow probably didn’t have long to live; although he possessed the Cultivation of Great Longevity, his lifespan was exhausted. Given such a heavy twilight aura, he should not have been able to hold on much longer.

“Before answering your question, this old man wishes to know, where did you obtain the lamp in your hand?” the old man’s eyes, heavy with meaning, looked at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin reached out and grasped the Ancient Lamp of Flame God in his hand, saying, “Are you talking about this Ancient Lamp of Flame God?”

The old man revealed a slight smile, “You call it the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, do you? That is not incorrect.”

“Why should I tell you the origin of this lamp?” Fang Lin said indifferently. Before knowing the true identities and intentions of this old man and the woman in white, he would not disclose anything to them.

“Young friend need not be so wary. This old one is the tomb guardian here, having guarded for tens of thousands of years. My lifespan is depleted, my vitality severed, and I won’t live for many more days. The death of this old one is of no importance, but I just wish to know if my master is still alive in this world?” the old man said.

“Who is your master?” Fang Lin asked.

The old man pointed at the Ancient Lamp of Flame God in Fang Lin’s hand, “The person once called the Flame Emperor, that is my master.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin was shocked, this old fellow actually had a connection to the Ancient Flame Emperor? That was somewhat frightful.

But Fang Lin wouldn’t believe the old man’s words immediately, he then continued, “You say your master is the Flame Emperor? How can you prove it?”

The old man laughed, pointed a finger, and a flame surged from his fingertip; the Ancient Lamp of Flame God seemed to respond in kind.

“Like this, it should prove that this old one speaks no falsehood,” the old man said.

Seeing this, Fang Lin believed what the old man said, as the Ancient Lamp of Flame God was an extremely special treasure, impossible to use without proper refining.

This old man merely released a flame, causing such a reaction from the Ancient Lamp of Flame God, indicating that there indeed was some connection between him and the Ancient Lamp.

“The Flame Emperor is your master, then who is this woman in white?” Fang Lin asked again. The first time he came to Ghost Mountain, he saw this woman in white and now seeing her again, he still didn’t know her identity. Today seemed to be the day it would be revealed.

The old man glanced at the woman in white, his eyes filled with melancholy, “She is my late mistress, and also the wife of my master.”

Fang Lin remained composed, but was somewhat shocked inside. This woman in white was actually the wife of the Ancient Flame Emperor?

As the true rise of the Flame Emperor occurred after Fang Lin’s death, Fang Lin didn’t know much about the Flame Emperor, nor did he know whether he had a wife back then.

However, if this woman in white really was the wife of the Flame Emperor, that was indeed somewhat frightening.

What kind of person was the Flame Emperor? Among the myriad powerful beings in ancient times, aside from Martial Lord, he could be ranked among the top three of the Human Clan, once battled fiercely with the Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong, and the Ancient Lamp of Flame God even combatted the Clear Rainbow Sword to an unresolved outcome.

If the Flame Emperor had not perished so prematurely, perhaps he would have had the chance to step into the threshold of Martial Lord. But now, the Flame Emperor is long gone, leaving behind only seven Ancient Lamps of Flame God, their flames still alive, but the mighty of the past are no more.

“Are you the servant of Flame Emperor? Is she the wife of Flame Emperor? And what’s with all these ancient corpses here? What exactly is going on?” Fang Lin asked, his confusion still unresolved.

“Ah, who cares what it is anyway, why don’t we just suppress them all?” The Thousand-Year Corpse Ginseng muttered on the side, but no one paid attention to him, and he could only squat on a grave and peep around.

The old man was about to speak when he saw the white-clad woman’s figure fluttering, apparently trying to touch the Ancient Lamp of Flame God in Fang Lin’s hands.

“Master cannot!” The old man hurriedly intervened, and Fang Lin’s expression turned cold as he promptly put the Ancient Lamp of Flame God into his bag.

Seeing that the Ancient Lamp of Flame God was gone, the white-clad woman stood frozen in place, and then glared at Fang Lin with a fierce look, seeming ready to pounce at any moment.

“You better advise your master, otherwise if I make a move, it would be bad if she gets hurt,” Fang Lin said coldly, a trace of True Dragon’s majesty emanating from him.

The old man immediately felt the dragon’s majesty from Fang Lin, his face showing shock, never expecting that such a young man could possess such an aura.

With this, the old man grew even more wary of Fang Lin, hurriedly urging his master not to act rashly and to first understand the situation properly.

“Sir, you must have come here for the Corpse Emperor Pill,” the old man said.

Fang Lin did not hide it and directly nodded.

With a complex expression, the old man looked at the many tombs here and said, “As you can see, this place buries many people from the past; I personally buried them. For those I knew, I erected a monument for them; for those I didn’t, I could only pile up a grave.”

After a pause, the old man continued, “This place was once a battlefield; many people died here. I’m helpless, just a coward who barely survived. I don’t have the power to do much for these deceased, only able to guard here, not just to watch over their graves, but also to protect my master, waiting for the lord’s arrival.”

Fang Lin indifferently said, “Your lord is already dead.”

“No!!!!!” The white-clad woman suddenly roared, her corpse energy surged, and for a moment, countless ghosts howled; all the corpses in Ghost Mountain seemed to be showing signs of awakening.

The old man was shocked; although he was heartbroken to hear the news of the Flame Emperor’s demise, the rampage of the white-clad woman was now the most urgent matter.

“Master! Please wake up!” The old man kept shouting, taking out a fiery red Jade Pendant, and dripped his own blood on it.

Instantly, a red beam appeared from the Jade Pendant and entered the body of the woman in white.

The red light flashed and disappeared, and the woman in white gradually calmed down, but her demeanor was still somewhat unstable.

Fang Lin was all the while watching the woman in white, or more precisely, the Corpse Emperor Pill within her.

“It turns out to have improved to the seventh-grade level and developed some intellect, but this bit of intellect is also somewhat strange,” Fang Lin quietly thought to himself, being a Pill Sovereign, he could see many things others could not.

“My lord, has he truly fallen?” The old man looked at Fang Lin, his voice trembling, he too could hardly believe that the Flame Emperor had indeed passed away.
