Jing Yan was slightly stunned upon hearing the words.
The person Golden Armor Guard Old Seven was referring to was clearly Tianshui. Over four thousand years ago, Tianshui had entered the Death Temple and obtained the Qiankun Ring while also unlocking its seal, receiving the inheritance of the Death Temple's master.
Now, it seemed that the Golden Armor Guards of the Death Temple indeed did not care much about the identity of the inheritor. In their eyes, if one inheritor died, they could simply find another one.
However, there probably were differences among inheritors.
Take Jing Yan, for instance. Old Six and Old Seven clearly placed some importance on him and did not wish for Jing Yan to die. If they truly did not care, they wouldn't have warned Jing Yan about the dangers within the Death Temple.
The reason they valued Jing Yan as an inheritor was likely due to his rapid progress in the past.
