Chapter 630: Chapter 629: Ancestor Master Tomb

"What’s going on?"

The five elder ancestors and True Person of Red Lotus were dumbfounded.

"You may try to stop me if you can." Ye Xuan didn’t look back as he stepped away.

After hesitating for a moment, none of the five elder ancestors nor True Person of Red Lotus made a move, letting Ye Xuan leave directly.

After Ye Xuan had left, they immediately began to examine the old man’s injuries.

"Senior Brother Jin!"

The old woman examining the old man suddenly let out a cry of grief, her eyes welling with anger and sorrow.

"What’s wrong, Senior Sister?"

Another male elder anxiously inquired.

With a face filled with grief, the old woman looked at the old man lying motionless on the ground and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Jin... is dead!"

"What?!"

At these words, the rest of the crowd’s faces changed drastically.

"Senior Brother Jin is dead?!" The True Person of Red Lotus was stunned.

At that moment, True Person of Red Lotus thought of Ye Xuan’s terrifying power and had a hard time wrapping her head around it.

She knew that Ye Xuan was indeed terrifying, and that she was no match for him at all.

But she never imagined that her senior uncle, would be killed instantly by Ye Xuan!

Could it be that Ye Xuan really received the legacy from the Daoist Ancestor Red Sparrow Fairy?

That’s impossible!

The legacy of the Ancestor had clearly been obtained by her disciple, Ye Qingyue.

This was something that the higher-ups of the Red Sparrow Institute all knew.

That was why Senior Brother Jin refuted Ye Xuan’s words.

Because they all knew, the legacy had been passed on to Ye Qingyue, and it was impossible for it to appear on Ye Xuan as well.

But the Red Sparrow Eighteen Seals performed by Ye Xuan did shock them.

However, this still shouldn’t have been enough to kill Senior Brother Jin!

After all, Senior Brother Jin’s strength was formidable, having lived for over sixty thousand years, yet to be killed in an instant was simply unbelievable.

"We must not let this vicious person get away!" another male elder said through gritted teeth, his eyes bursting with intense killing intent.

The other three old women, each with different expressions—some mournful, some contemplative, some fearful.

They simply couldn’t comprehend how such a young man could possess such terrifying power?!

They could see at a glance that the young man’s cultivation was only at the peak of the Heavenly Phenomenon stage, which in their eyes was utterly insignificant.

Yet it was this young man who held such a fearsome power!

"Immediately inform the Ancient Ancestor, we absolutely cannot let that person set foot in the Ancestor Master Tomb!" the old woman ordered promptly.

"Right, let the Ancient Ancestor take action, subdue this monster, force him to hand over the Red Sparrow Eighteen Seals, then kill him to avenge Senior Brother Jin!" the male elder also said vehemently.

True Person of Red Lotus pursed her lips to the side, hesitating to say, "Actually, he meant no harm..."

If Ye Xuan had harbored hostility from the beginning, she would have been the first to die.

But Ye Xuan didn’t make a move.

Under the circumstances just now, rationally speaking, it wasn’t Ye Xuan to blame.

After all, it was Senior Brother Jin who made the first move, trying to suppress Ye Xuan.

"Shut up!" Before True Person of Red Lotus could finish, the male elder sternly rebuked, "Remember your position, you are the Sovereign of the Red Sparrow Institute, and he, he killed your senior uncle!"

True Person of Red Lotus pursed her lips again and said nothing more.

Before she became a cultivator, she always felt that cultivators were like immortals, free and unfettered.

But after becoming a true cultivator, she realized that it was all superficial.

No cultivator could escape the character ’struggle’.

The whole world is bustling, all for gain.

The whole world is hustling, all directed by benefit.

The struggle for interest, in the Cultivation World, does not give way to the mortal world in the slightest!

Love and hate, right and wrong, cause and effect.

All are inevitable.

Even now, as she has become the Sovereign of the Red Sparrow Institute, she still can’t escape these things.

To tell the truth, this is far from what she really wanted to pursue in her heart.

Sighing softly in her heart, True Person of Red Lotus felt inexplicably lost.

Perhaps, after this incident, she would step down...

Sometimes, being in a high position is not a good thing at all.

There are too many restrictions.

Like today’s event, right or wrong, anyone could see it.

But because of their stance, they could only go against their hearts and fight.

What’s the meaning of this?

These were the thoughts of True Person of Red Lotus.

"First, make sure Brother Jin is settled properly. There’s an Ancient Ancestor at the Ancestor Master Tomb, so we will surely be able to subdue this fiend. By that time, we can go and settle the score with him!"

The elderly man said with a grave voice.

The others either nodded or remained silent.

Actually, among them, someone wanted to be on good terms with Ye Xuan, to let him join the Red Sparrow Institute.

But now that such an incident had occurred, these words could not be spoken.

At the moment, it was imperative to subdue Ye Xuan, to avenge their fellow disciples, and even more so to retrieve the Red Sparrow Thirteen Seals.

No.

It was the Red Sparrow Eighteen Seals!

——————

Ye Xuan walked out of the Red Sparrow Hall.

Qu Zhongyuan immediately went up to greet him and asked earnestly, "Young Master Ye, how did it go?"

He was outside the Red Sparrow Hall, so he did not know what the situation was inside.

"You go back first. I’ll make a trip to your Red Sparrow Institute’s Ancestor Master Tomb." Ye Xuan spoke calmly and gently.

"The Ancestor Master Tomb?" Qu Zhongyuan was slightly startled, then quickly said, "Does Young Master Ye know where the Ancestor Master Tomb of our Red Sparrow Institute is? Perhaps I could guide you there."

"No need." Ye Xuan declined Qu Zhongyuan’s offer and left the Vermilion Bird Dojo alone, heading straight for the Ancestor Master Tomb.

Seeing this, Qu Zhongyuan bowed and said, "Then Young Master Ye, please proceed carefully. I won’t see you off."

After watching Ye Xuan leave, Qu Zhongyuan prepared to enter the hall to pay his respects to the Sovereign of the Sect.

Boom!

But in the next moment, a terrible force surged out, directly assaulting Qu Zhongyuan. In an instant, Qu Zhongyuan was sent flying, spewing blood from his mouth.

Qu Zhongyuan looked on in horror and turned towards the gate of the Red Sparrow Hall, "Ancestral Master Uncle!"

There stood a gray-robed old man, who was looking at him with a fierce expression and said slowly, "Do you know that brat killed your Sect Leader, and yet you still show him such courtesy?"

That old man was the male elderly from inside the hall.

"What?!" Qu Zhongyuan’s expression shook, incredulous.

He had originally been puzzled why his Ancestral Master Uncle appeared in the Red Sparrow Hall and even attacked him, but these words made him suddenly realize the truth.

Yet he found them hard to accept.

Young Master Ye killed his Sect Leader?!

How could that be possible?!

Young Master Ye was that strong?!

Subconsciously, Qu Zhongyuan looked in the direction Ye Xuan had left, unable to believe it.

Although he thought it was simply impossible, did his Ancestral Master Uncle need to tell such lies to deceive him?

Clearly not.

Still, he simply could not accept this reality.

What exactly happened?

He didn’t know.

And at this moment, Ye Xuan had already left the Vermilion Bird Dojo far behind, heading towards the Ancestor Master Tomb.

Despite it being eight million years since his last visit to the Red Sparrow Institute, he still vaguely remembered the location of the Ancestor Master Tomb.

Eight million years were enough to change the mortal world dramatically, and although the geography of the Red Sparrow Institute might have undergone some changes, the general location had not.

With a slight stir of Emperor Soul, he could discern the precise location of the Ancestor Master Tomb.

On the way, he encountered no one else.

The incident that had just occurred at the Red Sparrow Hall had not spread.

After all, the Elders of the Red Sparrow Institute were not fools; if word got out, it would undoubtedly cause great chaos within the institute, and it would become known that one of their elders was slain by a young man, which would be an enormous disgrace to the Red Sparrow Institute.

The more sensitive the issue, the more it needed to be dealt with in secrecy.

Therefore, the Red Sparrow Institute was still busily hosting the Six Academy Martial Arts Competition, selecting disciples.

Ye Xuan moved smoothly and without obstruction, arriving at a secluded Grave Ridge.

This Grave Ridge was dedicated to burying those who had died in the Red Sparrow Institute.

In the central area lay the Ancestor Master Tomb, around which were buried the meritorious contributors to the Red Sparrow Institute.

Since the Grave Ridge was located within the interior of the institute and was mostly for disciples to come and offer their respects, it wasn’t heavily guarded; only some disciples of the institute were assigned to clean the area.

Ye Xuan casually employed a small trick to avoid those disciples and reached the center of the Grave Ridge.

"This is a sacred place of the Ancestor Master Tomb, halt."

Just as he was entering the central area, an old and frail voice slowly rose.

At the end of the path, a white-robed old man, hunched over, with his hands behind his back, stood there facing Ye Xuan.
