Chapter 527 - 526: The White-Bearded Old Man

Chapter 527: Chapter 526: The White-Bearded Old Man

"Ye Xuan, you couldn’t possibly have agreed to join the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, could you?" Jiang Jing stared intensely at Ye Xuan, her face pale.

If the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect really offered such conditions, they must want something!

Recalling the words of the Supreme Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Jiang Jing couldn’t help but harbor doubts.

Everyone else, upon hearing this, also gazed at Ye Xuan with tense apprehension.

The importance of Ye Xuan to the Emperor Immortal Sect was unparalleled.

If Ye Xuan were to join the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, they would rather not have those things!

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "Even their Sect Leader would have to kneel before me, what would I need to join the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect for?"

"As for those things, they are what the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect ought to give."

"Really?" Jiang Jing still found it hard to believe.

"Of course it’s true." Ye Xuan reaffirmed.

Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they became excited once again.

Lifting the three-year oppression of the Emperor Immortal Sect was like removing the stone that had been hanging in their hearts.

All along, the three-year oppression of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had been choking them and was extremely displeasing.

Now, with the three-year burden lifted, the Emperor Immortal Sect could stand tall once again.

Moreover, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was to return three Great Emperor Immortal Skills!

This was of the utmost importance.

"Is the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect really going to return the three Great Emperor Immortal Skills?" Ning Zongtang asked with a slight frown.

"Naturally, it is so." Ye Xuan nodded in affirmation.

"I have a feeling there’s some deceit in this." Ning Zongtang narrowed his eyes and said, "The nine-power Alliance Army formed by the likes of the Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, and others all coveted our Great Emperor Immortal Skills. Now, with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect explicitly promising to return three Great Emperor Immortal Skills, it just feels like a ploy."

As these words were spoken, the expressions of the crowd shifted, sensing the complexity of the situation.

If this was indeed the case, then the three Great Emperor Immortal Skills would be hot potatoes, troubling whoever held them.

"Rest assured, unless Zuo Yangming is a fool, he wouldn’t do such a thing." Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart.

He was confident that Zuo Yangming knew what he was doing.

Even if Zuo Yangming didn’t know, then Zuo Yishan would certainly know how to proceed.

Upon hearing this, the others couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

However, as long as Ye Xuan was fine, they were reassured.

"Enough talk, I’m going to help Youwei with her cultivation." Ye Xuan floated away, heading towards the Observing Heaven Realm.

Seeing this, the others dispersed as well.

Ning Zongtang gazed towards the distant Observing Heaven Realm, his eyes shimmering with solemnity.

’Ye Xuan, what kind of secrets do you carry with you...’

Truth be told, Ning Zongtang felt many ominous signs surrounding Ye Xuan.

The feats he had accomplished were simply unbelievable when told to others.

Even he, known as the Sword Saint, couldn’t see through Ye Xuan.

He didn’t even know what kind of person Ye Xuan really was.

The only thing he was certain of was that Ye Xuan would not harm the Emperor Immortal Sect.

This was also something that Ning Zongtang was grateful for in his heart.

For a freak of nature like Ye Xuan, had he been an enemy, the consequences could have been dire.

"Zihuang’s kid has born a good daughter," Ning Zongtang muttered to himself with a smile.

At this moment, Zhou Zihuang and others were rushing back to the Emperor Immortal Sect at full speed.

Under the leadership of Lv Tiangang and others, it took Zhou Zihuang and his group only two hours to return.

When they saw the Emperor Immortal Sect at peace, they all breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the Emperor Immortal Sect was safe.

But immediately, they hurried back to the sect to inquire about what had happened within the past two hours.

Upon learning the outcome, they were all astonished.

The Supreme Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Zuo Yangming, had personally visited the Emperor Immortal Sect, seeking the return of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order from Ye Xuan, promising to lift the three-year oppression of the Emperor Immortal Sect, as well as returning three Great Emperor Immortal Skills and many cultivation resources.

This was beyond their belief.

Yet, these words came from the mouths of Jiang Jing and others, leaving them no choice but to believe.

Furthermore, they received another crucial piece of information.

The conversation between Supreme Sect Leader Zuo Yangming of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and Ye Xuan had taken place in another world. Therefore, no one knew exactly what transpired.

"Ye Xuan... he wouldn’t have betrayed the Emperor Immortal Sect, would he?" Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help but whisper.

As soon as his words fell, the nearby Cao Jianchun’s presence congealed, and he said coldly,

"Zhou Chaolong, if you keep spouting nonsense like that, this Sect Leader will have to deal with you."

Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help but chuckle sheepishly, "Brother Cao, don’t be angry, I was just speculating."

"Speculating is also not allowed!" Cao Jianchun coldly snorted, speaking with an indifferent expression, "Don’t forget, the reason we can still stand here and talk is because of what, so no matter what you speculate, you absolutely cannot guess that Ye Xuan has betrayed the Emperor Immortal Sect, otherwise..."

"I, Cao Jianchun, will be the first to disapprove!"

As soon as Cao Jianchun made this statement, everyone became sullen.

In fact, many among them were guessing whether Ye Xuan had already betrayed the Emperor Immortal Sect and joined the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

But in truth, they didn’t believe this conjecture was real.

After all, Ye Xuan had done so much for the Emperor Immortal Sect.

"Brother Cao is right; no matter what we speculate, we can’t go in that direction. If not for him, our Emperor Immortal Sect might have been gone long ago," Lv Tiangang also spoke in a moderate tone.

"I will apologize to Ye Xuan in person later," Zhou Chaolong said somewhat ashamedly.

"Mm," Lv Tiangang nodded slightly, "The matter with Xuanyuan Sacred Land has come to an end for now. During this time, we will all stay within the Sect to prevent any changes."

"Okay."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The sudden arrival of Zuo Yangming caught them unprepared.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

Now, the Yunxiao Sect, Canghai Sect, Heavens Cloud Divine Sect, and Feixian Sacred Land had all been mostly dealt with, leaving only the Xuanyuan Sacred Land, which was not urgent.

Having gathered so many resources, it was time to digest them.

It was a good opportunity to stay in the Emperor Immortal Sect for a while, to guard against the next visit from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

And now, concerning the Supreme Sect Leader of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Zuo Yangming.

Upon leaving the Emperor Immortal Sect, Zuo Yangming transformed into a Divine Rainbow and disappeared into the horizon.

At the same time, deep within the territory of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, on a Divine Peak towering into the clouds, a young man sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, his breathing in perfect harmony with the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.

Or rather.

The rhythm of the heaven and earth around him was following the breaths of this young man.

Every breath affecting the movement of the surrounding heaven and earth, such an existence was already beyond the mortal realm.

The young man wore an ancient black Divine Robe, with the words ’Heaven Suppressing’ on his chest and also on his back.

Boom!

In the distance, a Divine Rainbow approached, entering the body of the young man on the cliff with the speed of thunder that one cannot cover their ears from in time.

After a moment, the young man slowly opened his eyes.

Hum————

What was shocking was that the opening and closing of the young man’s eyes seemed to harbor a fearsome evolution of Dao Origin.

After a while, the young man’s eyes returned to normal. Narrowing his eyes, he muttered to himself softly, "Eleven Heaven Suppressing Ancient Orders..."

"What exactly is the background of that guy called Ye Xuan."

"I need to consult Great-Grandfather about this matter..."

The young man slowly stood up and took a step forward.

Hum————

The world instantly moved backwards beneath the young man’s feet.

If a powerful being were to witness this scene, they would certainly exclaim in awe, "Isn’t this the legendary technique of ’Shrinking Ground to Inches’?"

Taking each step as though traversing millions of miles, the young man moved forth with the technique of Shrinking Ground to Inches.

By the time the young man’s feet touched the ground, he was already amidst a sea of clouds.

Deep within the cloud sea, there lay a piece of land.

In that land, wild vegetables and fruits grew.

Next to it, there was a grass hut.

Outside the hut, there was a rocking chair.

Atop the rocking chair sat an old man with white whiskers, gently fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, swaying leisurely and humming a tune, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Xiaoming, is there something you need?"

The white-whiskered old man did not open his eyes but spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, the young man standing in the midst of the clouds bowed respectfully, "Greetings to Great-Grandfather."

"Come in," the old man said softly.

Only then did the young man straighten up, flying down to that piece of land and standing respectfully beside it, speaking softly, "How has Great-Grandfather been lately?"

The old man opened a slit in his eyes, glancing sideways at the young man, and spoke in a slightly annoyed tone, "Very well."

"You have half a stick of incense’s worth of time, make it quick with the crap."

The young man, accustomed to such a response, restrained his smile and spoke earnestly, "The tenth Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order has been reclaimed."
