Chapter 524: 0525 An ancient visitor has arrived! (Second update)

Azure Dragon Daoist Temple.

"Has he not woken up yet?" Chen Yifeng asked Qian Zhen Daoist. Elders like Ren Hesheng, Wang Hutang’s Li Tiezheng, and others were all gathered here.

Qian Zhen Daoist shook his head, "Young Ye’s life is not in danger, but he has fallen into a coma. When he will wake up depends on himself."

"This kid has killed a legendary realm Martial Artist. His future martial path might reach levels we can’t even imagine. He must be alright, no matter what."

"Indeed, such martial talent is rare even in that ancient land!" Qian Zhen Daoist exclaimed.

When the forbidden word "ancient land" was mentioned, everyone present became solemn. It represented a powerful existence that lorded over the entire martial world. Every family in the ancient land had the strength to crush the martial world.

The ancient land was truly the most terrifying entity in China, and the martial world was merely its plaything. The disputes in the martial world, both northern and southern, were actually related to the ancient land. Few in the martial world understood that it involved even more powerful beings.

"Daoist, since you’ve broken through to the legendary realm, I’m afraid that ’he’ has already received this news and will probably send someone over soon," Chen Yifeng changed the subject.

Qian Zhen Daoist nodded, "That place, after all, must be faced."

No one mentioned the topic of the ’ancient land’ again. Everyone was optimistic about Ye Qiu, considering him a genius martial artist who could rival the young generation of the ancient land. They unanimously decided to keep the matter of Ye Qiu killing Valley Mountain Bai Yi under wraps for the moment.

Ye Qiu was placed in an important secret location within the Azure Dragon Daoist Temple, a natural water cave with an underground hot spring that constantly surged up. Inside, it was spring all year round, with flowers blooming even in winter. Ye Qiu had visited this place before and marveled at its magic when he had come to see Qian Zhen Daoist.

He was made to recuperate here also because it was a confluence of nature’s spiritual energy, aiding Ye Qiu’s speedy recovery.

However, seven days passed without Ye Qiu waking. Fortunately, his breathing was steady and his heart was beating strongly.

A shadow stood on the roof of the Goddess Villa, wearing a devil mask, looking particularly terrifying in the dark night. He sensed the emptiness inside the Goddess Villa and felt somewhat disappointed.

The figure swiftly disappeared as if it had never been there, coming and going without a trace.

At the Dragon Group base, the old coot continued to worry about Ye Qiu’s safety, pacing back and forth in the room. Mei Huiling sighed softly but didn’t know how to comfort him.

"I don’t believe that kid just disappeared like that. He’s definitely still alive," the old coot pounded his fist, saying. After the battle between Ye Qiu and Valley Mountain Bai Yi, there was no trace of either of them, and the martial world had no news of Ye Qiu. Only various speculations and judgments emerged, among which the general consensus was that Ye Qiu was killed by Valley Mountain Bai Yi, who then returned to Japan.

The old coot didn’t believe it. Ye Qiu had said he was confident he could confront someone from the legendary realm, but after so many days without any news of Ye Qiu, he couldn’t stay calm any longer. He wondered if Ye Qiu had been lying to him at that time, that he had no trump card at all and just didn’t want to worry him.

And the more he thought about this possibility, the more likely it seemed. The old coot began to reproach himself, saying, "How could I, an old fool, have been deceived by that little bastard? How could he, a True Qi realm, no matter how confident, defeat a legendary realm? I really am a senile old fool."

Just thinking about losing his protégé Ye Qiu made the old coot’s back bend a bit more.

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. It was my fault for not mobilizing all the members of the Dragon Group in time to stop Valley Mountain Bai Yi," Mei Huiling took the blame upon herself.

The old coot looked at Mei Huiling, knowing full well what she meant, "I don’t blame you. You’ve done your best. Who would have expected the battlefield to shift to Azure Dragon Mountain?"

Mei Huiling nestled close to the old coot. Right now, she wasn’t the supreme leader of the Dragon Group, but just a woman caught up in love, staying beside the man she loved, hoping he wouldn’t be too distressed and self-reproachful.

"As long as we haven’t seen Ye Qiu’s body, we can’t prove he’s dead. Perhaps there’s a miracle, and he will stand before us whole. All we need is to patiently wait for his return," Mei Huiling said.

Hope rose slightly in the old coot’s heart as he muttered, "I hope this miracle appears sooner rather than later."

...

One day, three visitors arrived at the Azure Dragon Daoist Temple.

After completing his bath and burning incense, Qian Zhen Daoist changed into a brand-new, gray daoist robe, exuding an air of immortal charm.

A young attendant knocked on the door, reporting to Qian Zhen Daoist inside, "Master, there are three individuals who claim to be from the ancient land, asking to see you."

Qian Zhen Daoist stroked his eyebrows and beard, everything looking so clean and natural. His gaze was calm, but upon hearing that people from the ancient land had come, his tranquil eyes flickered for an instant.

What was bound to come, would come; there was no avoiding it.

After calming his emotions, Qian Zhen Daoist opened the door and walked towards the main hall.

In the hall stood three figures; among them, an old man and two younger ones.

The elder, dressed in a black robe which was embroidered with the character "Mu," surrounded by nine brightly-colored dragons venerating the golden "Mu."

With just one glance at his aura, it was clear he was no ordinary mortal.

Standing beside him was a young man, his appearance marked by a feather fan and a silk headdress, who looked with great interest at the grand hall before him, accompanied by a young girl who stood quietly and obediently at his side.

This peculiar pair managed to catch the attention of Daoist Qian Zhen, a master of the Legendary Realm, who could not afford to overlook these three individuals.

"I apologize for having kept you waiting, and I hope you can forgive me," said Daoist Qian Zhen as he stepped forward, offering a traditional Daoist bow to the trio, bending to show his regret.

If this scene were to spread, it would surely shock everyone to the point their jaws dropped.

Daoist Qian Zhen, a peerless master known for his breakthrough into the Legendary Realm within the martial world, was now paying respects to these three strangers of unknown identity, a truly astonishing sight.

If it were others from the martial circle, they wouldn’t dare accept such a gesture of respect from Daoist Qian Zhen.

However, aside from the girl who seemed a bit constrained, neither the elderly man nor the young man showed much change in their expressions, merely nodding slightly in acknowledgement.

The old man said, "The Legendary Realm is but the beginning of martial cultivation. At nearly seventy, reaching this realm shows you have average talent, and if you do not continue to make diligent progress, I fear you will fall from the Legendary Realm within five years. This time I have come to lead you into the Mu family. Pack your things, and come with me."

"Elder, I am alone in this world, with nothing but this Taoist temple. After I leave, my disciples can take care of it," said Daoist Qian Zhen.

Addressed as an elder by Daoist Qian Zhen, this senior had an air of innate entitlement about him. It was not arrogance; his overwhelming strength compelled Daoist Qian Zhen to submit.

"That will do," said the elder indifferently.

The trio left the main hall, and Daoist Qian Zhen called over Tang Yao to entrust him with the affairs of Azure Dragon Taoist Temple.

"Once you join the Mu family, you will no longer be called Daoist Qian Zhen. When you arrive at our clan, you will be granted the Mu surname," said the elder nonchalantly.

Daoist Qian Zhen nodded in agreement.

The young man gave Tang Yao a glance and chuckled, "Heh, it seems I have seen you somewhere before."

Tang Yao respectfully replied, "I once cultivated in the Mu family and had the fortune of seeing you once."

"Oh, heh heh..." The young man laughed and paid no further attention to Tang Yao.

Watching his master leave with the three, Tang Yao felt a whirlwind of emotions inside.

He had not expected the Mu family, an incredibly ancient martial arts clan, to have one of their young disciples venture into the secular world.

He had seen the young man before; a prodigy of the Mu family, he remembered the man’s name to be Mu Canshou!

Of course, what was most surprising was that Tang Yao recognized the girl standing next to Mu Canshou. Was she not Ye Zi, Ye Qiu’s sister who had participated in the Decemvir Challenge?

Had this girl become a maid to Mu Canshou?

After leaving Azure Dragon Temple, the black-robed elder said to the young man with utmost respect, "Young Master, I will take him back to the clan first and won’t accompany you."

Overhearing this, Daoist Qian Zhen felt a shock go through him, realizing then that this young man must be a distinguished and high-ranking prodigy of the Mu family, even warranting a respectful demeanor from the elder leading him.

Examining the young man, Daoist Qian Zhen was struck with awe. So young, yet his power was unfathomable even to him. He sighed internally, doubting if the martial world had any other young martial artist on par with this young man. The Mu family, an ancient martial clan, reared their youths in such a way that any one of them could easily stand among the Decemvir, a testament to the gap between them.

Suddenly, a name flashed through Daoist Qian Zhen’s mind, perhaps Ye Qiu alone could stand shoulder to shoulder with this young man.

The man in the black robe departed with Daoist Qian Zhen.

The young man and the always restrained girl were left behind.

"Ye Zi, I have heard that you have a brother who is quite powerful, ranked among the Decemvir in the martial world, right?" Mu Canshou said slowly.

Biting her lip, Ye Zi felt intimidated standing next to the young man. Hearing Mu Canshou bring up her brother, her heart sank.

"I want you to understand that becoming a maid to me, Mu Canshou, is your honor. As for your so-called brother, I could crush him with a flip of my hand, so you should abandon any hope of escaping from me. Even though China is vast, if the Mu family seeks to find someone, even if you hide abroad, I can still dig you out," Mu Canshou stated.

Ye Zi did not doubt his arrogant tone, having witnessed the Mu family’s terror herself.

"It is not easy to take a trip to this mundane world, so I will enjoy my tour. If I happen to encounter your brother, even better. I will test his strength and, rest assured, I will show you face by using only one hand, one level of effort against him!" Mu Canshou laughed heartily.

Ye Zi, following behind, did not dare to run away, silently praying in her heart that Ye Qiu would not encounter this terrifying young man.
