Chapter 194 - 193: Ancestral Worship

Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Ancestral Worship

Time passed quickly, and ten days blinked by.

Ye Xuan had cultivated the Taiyi True Water and the Hand Palm Thunder to the Fourth Layer, then left seclusion and spent two days in the Artifact Refining Hall, giving guidance to Xu Jiu.

This made Xu Jiu admire Ye Xuan even more.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Jiu had already begun forging the Silver Divine Puppet.

Ye Xuan, unceremoniously, asked Xu Jiu for four Bronze Divine Puppets.

Since Xu Jiu had been stagnating as a Bronze Divine Puppet Master for a long time, he had over a hundred Bronze Divine Puppets in his possession.

Unfortunately, a Bronz Divine Puppet Master, who hasn’t stepped into the realm of a Silver Divine Puppet Master, cannot control more than eighteen Bronze Divine Puppets. Thus, Xu Jiu could only display eighteen Bronze Divine Puppets.

Xu Jiu, without any hesitation, directly gave Ye Xuan eighteen Bronze Divine Puppets.

Ye Xuan, however, only took four, lying that he could only manipulate four.

This also quite shocked Xu Jiu.

Was Ye Xuan not only an Artifact Refiner, but also a Bronze Divine Puppet Master?

Although he could only control four, Ye Xuan was only sixteen years old. If this got out, it would certainly shock the world.

Ye Xuan stored the four Bronze Divine Puppets into his Storage Ring and then took his leave.

There was only one day left until the Golden Pond would open.

As agreed, delegates from the Lie Tian Upper Country were to arrive today to lead the way.

Ye Xuan summoned Zhou Youwei, Zhou Bingyi, Liu Tianhao, Huang Nian, Wen Lin, Tan Qingshan, Zhu Xiaofei, Xiao Zhan, and others together.

Including him, there were a total of thirty-one people.

This was the thirty-one slots he had requested from the Lie Tian Upper Country.

All assembled in the Lie Tian Dao Field, ready to go.

The Elders and Tributors also appeared in the Lie Tian Dao Field, watching them.

"This time, I think it’s best to have Lu Elder and Sixth Elder escort you," said Jiang Jing to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head, "I think it would be better to have Yu Tributor and Nie Tributor escort us, since they have been with our Sect for so long and should do something meaningful, right?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan.

This made the two of them twitch the corners of their mouths secretly; Ye Xuan really was quite pointed.

"This?" Qiu Wenhan couldn’t help but slightly raise his eyebrows.

Up till now, Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan had not yet cleared their name from suspicion of being spies, so was it really wise to let them escort?

Qiu Wenhan looked towards Ye Xuan, hoping to get a hint from him.

Every action of Ye Xuan left them somewhat unable to anticipate his intentions.

Feeling Qiu Wenhan’s gaze, Ye Xuan gave a slight smile and said, "Both tributors must also want to make a contribution to the Sect, right?"

Everyone looked towards Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan.

"Of course," said Yu Wenlei and Nie Shan, their smiles stiff on their faces.

It wasn’t just Qiu Wenhan; even they couldn’t understand what Ye Xuan was up to.

Logically, given the dangerous nature of this trip to the Golden Pond, Ye Xuan should have asked for Lu Chengde or Qiu Wenhan to escort them, but instead, he named them—it really caught everyone off guard.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll trouble Yu Tributor and Nie Tributor," said Jiang Jing with a slight nod.

Although she did not know what Ye Xuan was planning, based on her understanding of him, she knew he must have some strategy for doing this.

Since Ye Xuan had decided this, she naturally chose to trust him.

"The people from Lie Tian Upper Country seem a bit slow," Ye Xuan mumbled, hands in his pockets.

"Reporting to all the Elders!"

"The people from Lie Tian Upper Country have arrived!"

At that moment, a disciple relayed the message.

Everyone looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment.

Ye Xuan calmly said, "Let’s go."

"The visitor is Lu Jingfei, one of the four great generals of the Lie Tian Upper Country. He wishes to enter our Sect to worship ancestors," the reporting disciple then said.

"Worship ancestors?"

Hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows.

"Shouldn’t the ancestor of Lu Jingfei be Lu Shenglong? What ancestor does he have to worship in the Emperor Immortal Sect?" Ye Xuan asked the disciple in a slow voice.

Lu Jingfei, one of the four great generals of the Lie Tian Upper Country.

Their ancestor, Lu Shenglong, like the Wang Family’s ancestor Wang Yanglong, had both been Emperor Generals under the Lie Tian Great Emperor.

But their Ancestor Temple was not in the Emperor Immortal Sect, but within the territory of the Lie Tian Upper Country.

The disciple bowed and said, "Reporting to Great Elder Brother, Lu Jingfei stated that he came to worship the ancestor, Lie Tian Great Emperor!"

"These people from the Lie Tian Upper Country really have no shame; after severing ties with our Sect, they still come here to worship ancestors," the Sixth Elder couldn’t help but snort disdainfully.

It is worth mentioning.

This Sixth Elder was the only one among the Elders who had survived the rebellion instigated by Elder Zhao, the Great Elder, and others.

Because the Sixth Elder took Jiang Jing’s side.

However, that incident had deeply affected the Sixth Elder, who had only recently emerged from seclusion.

"I think he has some ulterior motives," Ye Xuan said with a slight smirk, his eyes playful.

Without even having to think about it, he knew what Lie Tian Heavenly Country was scheming.

Hua Tianqiong guessed the power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple and thus set his sights on it.

This time, sending someone who had connections with the Emperor Immortal Sect was a perfect excuse to visit the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple for ancestor worship.

If the Emperor Immortal Sect disallowed it, it would tarnish their reputation when word got out.

This plan was indeed cunningly devised.

"Since he wishes to worship the ancestors, then let him worship," Ye Xuan said.

"Ye Xuan, are you really letting them come for the worship?" Qiu Wenhan exclaimed in shock.

The Lie Tian Ancestor Temple was critical to the future plans of the Emperor Immortal Sect!

Jiang Jing and others also tensed up, looking at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan gestured for everyone to be at ease and said soothingly, "They merely want to probe the reality of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, let them probe."

"Should we go over to watch?" Qiu Wenhan asked.

"No need, have you forgotten who is guarding the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple now?" Ye Xuan said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Right, the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple was currently guarded by a formidable figure.

"We’ll just wait here."

Ye Xuan was in no hurry.

At that moment, outside the Mountain Gate, Lu Jingfei, one of the four generals of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, was anxiously waiting.

His task, assigned by the Emperor, was to enter the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple for ancestor worship.

But he remembered how terribly Wang Shiqi, also one of the four generals, had fared; he had been thrown out directly and was now even dead.

This made Lu Jingfei fear the Emperor Immortal Sect inexplicably.

He certainly did not want to die at the hands of the Emperor Immortal Sect.

But the task given by the Emperor could not be neglected.

Lu Jingfei could only hope in his heart that the Emperor Immortal Sect would outright refuse, so he would merely need to lead the way.

"General Lu, please."

However, to Lu Jingfei’s surprise, the Hall Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect actually welcomed him inside.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your sect’s intention?" Lu Jingfei asked, puzzled.

On hearing this, the Hall Master smiled and said, "The Sect Master’s wife said that although our Emperor Immortal Sect has severed ties with Lie Tian Heavenly Country, we still share the same ancestor. Since the general represents Lie Tian Heavenly Country in worshiping the ancestors, our sect naturally will not obstruct."

"General, follow me to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple."

Lu Jingfei was shocked; the Emperor Immortal Sect actually agreed to it.

With doubts, Lu Jingfei followed the Hall Master and indeed arrived at the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

Looking at the ancient Ancestor Temple, Lu Jingfei felt somewhat unreal.

"General, please proceed; I will not enter," the Hall Master said.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist," Lu Jingfei replied, coming back to his senses and bowing with his hands clasped.

The Hall Master nodded slightly without saying much.

As Lu Jingfei walked into the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, he immediately saw the majestic statue of Lie Tian Great Emperor, feeling an overwhelming aura that made one involuntarily want to submit.

"So this is the Lie Tian Great Emperor..." Lu Jingfei was profoundly shaken.

Boom—

At that moment, a terrifying murderous intent enveloped Lu Jingfei, making him feel utterly immobilized.

Lu Jingfei was horrified and unable to react.

"Get out."

A deep and hoarse voice sounded, making Lu Jingfei feel as if his heart was being clutched tightly, causing extreme discomfort.

It was at this moment that Lu Jingfei saw someone kneeling beneath the statue of the Lie Tian Great Emperor.

It was just a back view, but it was clear the figure was tall and filled with a sense of strength.

The scars that adorned his body were fierce and terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine.

Since when did the Emperor Immortal Sect have such a person!?

"I am Lu Jingfei, one of the four generals of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, here to worship the ancestors," Lu Jingfei managed to suppress the chill in his heart and said.

"You have ten breaths’ time," the deep and hoarse voice responded.

"After ten breaths, I will start killing."

Li Kuangtu slowly turned his head, his eyes brimming with ruthlessness.
