Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Master

"The person who possessed the sword before you was my master," Lu Junwei told Long Chen.

"So I might be the descendant of your master, or from the family, he trusted," Long Chen let out as he smiled wryly. Didn't this give him an advantage over the Emperor?

"Don't be so overconfident. You can only claim to be his heir if you can defeat me. No heir of my master can be weaker than me at the same cultivation," Emperor Lu Junwei muttered as he rolled his eyes 

"So defeating you would prove that I'm his heir?" Long Chen inquired. 

"It wouldn't prove it either, but then mean the chances of your heir being my master are pretty high. In any case, I don't think you'll even need that advantage at that point since victory already ensures that you're a talented cultivator," the Emperor added.
