Chapter 796: Chapter 793: Master Jiao Yiqiu

Huang Yue got ready and set out to find his senior, Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was explaining some interesting stories from the "Mountain and Sea Strange Stories" to Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei listened with great interest, occasionally showing a look of surprise.

The "Mountain and Sea Strange Stories" recorded many things she had never encountered before.

It was as if a new world’s door had opened for her.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows raised.

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Youwei, with a trace of confusion on her pretty face, looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan slowly stood up, rubbed Zhou Youwei’s head, and spoke softly, "It’s nothing. You and Xinyu stay here, I’ll go see Huang Yue."

"Okay." Zhou Youwei nodded lightly, holding the "Mountain and Sea Strange Stories" in one hand and a small stool in the other, and sat down next to Qiao Xinyu to chat about some interesting stories.

Qiao Xinyu glanced in the direction where Ye Xuan had left, a trace of puzzlement in her beautiful eyes.

Emperor Ye seemed to have something on his mind.

But since he had not mentioned it, she dared not pry any further.

Ye Xuan left the courtyard and walked outside.

"Senior!"

In the distance, seeing Ye Xuan coming out, Huang Yue, somewhat surprised, ran up and respectfully said.

"Where is your master?" asked Ye Xuan.

"That old guy, eh? He went to handle some minor matter," Huang Yue scratched his head, but immediately, he paused and looked at Ye Xuan solemnly, "Senior, did something happen to Master?"

Ye Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Come with me."

Seeing this, Huang Yue couldn’t help but worry, thinking maybe his old master really had encountered trouble!

That couldn’t be possible, that old guy was so powerful, there were only a handful of people in the whole East Desolate who could suppress him.

Following behind Ye Xuan, Huang Yue’s expression grew extremely solemn.

Ye Xuan led Huang Yue, flying over eight hundred miles, crossing numerous mountain peaks, to the top of a short mountain.

The short mountain had nothing special about it; the trees were sparse and it appeared to have little Spiritual Energy.

However, at that moment, Huang Yue was staring intently at that mountain peak.

At the summit of that mountain, there was a man lying in a pool of blood.

It was an old man...

It was none other than Huang Yue’s master, Jiao Yiqiu.

Huang Yue’s eyes turned red instantly as he rushed to the mountain peak.

"Old guy, what happened to you?!"

Huang Yue lifted Jiao Yiqiu from the pool of blood, his eyes bloodshot, his right hand helplessly wiping the blood from Jiao Yiqiu’s face.

But Jiao Yiqiu was bleeding from all seven orifices, unable to stop the flow.

Jiao Yiqiu was already at death’s door.

Upon seeing Huang Yue, Jiao Yiqiu tried to speak, but could only keep coughing up blood, his face showing embarrassment and utter weakness, "So this lad... has seen the old man in his frail state..."

Tears kept rolling down from Huang Yue’s eyes, and he choked up, "Don’t talk, I’ll have Senior Ye Xuan save you!"

"He’s past saving." Ye Xuan appeared silently beside them, hands in his pockets, watching the scene, and spoke slowly, "All the transformed Mountain Gods have been slain and erased, along with their Divine Dao Seeds taken away, no one can save him..."

"This can’t be!" Huang Yue’s emotions completely collapsed, holding Jiao Yiqiu tightly, he said urgently, "Old guy, you must not die, you have not seen me becoming the Earth Ancestor, you absolutely cannot die, do you hear me!"

Jiao Yiqiu coughed lightly twice, extremely weakened, his gaze shifted away, falling on Ye Xuan, "This gentleman is highly talented, may I entrust my disciple to your care in the future..."

"Old guy, what nonsense are you talking!" Huang Yue sobbed.

Ye Xuan slightly squinted, squatted down, formed his right hand into a sword finger, and placed it on Jiao Yiqiu’s forehead, a hint of golden light shining.

Jiao Yiqiu’s complexion started to look better, carrying a sense of returning light from near extinction.

Huang Yue watched excitedly, "I knew Senior Ye Xuan would certainly have a way!"

Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand and said softly, "You have something to say, do you? He cannot hold on for a moment longer."

The excitement on Huang Yue’s face suddenly stiffened as he despondently shook his head, "This can’t be, why..."

"Who on earth is it, who did this!" Huang Yue’s usually stiff face was now covered in ferocious rage.

"Little Yuezi." After Jiao Yiqiu’s condition was stabilized by Ye Xuan, he managed to speak normally. He grabbed Huang Yue’s hand, grinning, "Promise me, you must become the Earth Ancestor!"

Huang Yue’s face turned pale as he nervously looked at Jiao Yiqiu and said, "I promise you, but you must also promise me, don’t die, okay?"

Slap!

Jiao Yiqiu slapped Huang Yue on the head and cursed, "You have a man’s tool, don’t cry and wail like a woman, you disgrace me, never say you are my disciple again!"

Having been slapped, Huang Yue did not backtalk as usual but was filled with tears, pleading.

Jiao Yiqiu did not look at Huang Yue again but turned to Ye Xuan and said, "Sir, my earlier request, can you grant it..."

Ye Xuan stood to the side, observing Jiao Yiqiu’s pleading eyes and nodded slightly, "Rest assured, your disciple can become the Earth Ancestor."

Hearing this, Jiao Yiqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was irresponsible, he was aware that Ye Xuan was truly terrifying, with an even more fearsome background.

If Huang Yue could be taught by Ye Xuan, then he would certainly become a great Earth Ancestor!

To rectify the name of the East Desolate Mountain God Dao, and the Daozhou Mountain God Dao!

Let those from the Qing State Mountain God Dao see that Daozhou also has an Earth Ancestor!

"Little Yuezi." Jiao Yiqiu’s gaze returned to Huang Yue, a hint of reluctance in his murky eyes, "Actually, ah, I haven’t had enough of beating you..."

As his voice fell, Jiao Yiqiu’s Essence Qi Spirit seemed to be drained all at once, leading to his complete death.

Jiao Yiqiu’s soul rose up, as if being pulled by something, and began to rapidly dissipate.

"Please..."

Before his soul vanished, Jiao Yiqiu gave Ye Xuan a respectful bow.

"Old man!" Huang Yue cried out as he saw Jiao Yiqiu motionless, but he received no response.

The sentiment of reluctance in his eyes seemed to be forever frozen there.

"No..."

Huang Yue was distraught, crying and laughing, "How could you die, weren’t you supposed to watch me become the Earth Ancestor, you shouldn’t die!"

"Master!"

This cry of "Master" echoed to the heavens, as if to let the whole world know.

He had never truly called the old man "Master."

When he finally wanted to, his master was already gone.

Children wish to support their parents, but they might pass too soon.

It is generally like this.

Ye Xuan shifted his gaze lightly towards the east, his expression aloof, "Mediocre people hiding their heads but showing their tails."

"Huh, I didn’t expect you to have such strong perception."

A robust voice rang out, carrying a hint of surprise.

Suddenly, an old man dressed in ancient attire appeared on the mountain head to the east, calmly watching Ye Xuan.

"I remember that the Mountain God Dao has an ancient teaching: disciples must not commit fratricide, am I right?" Ye Xuan calmly looked at the black-haired old man and spoke slowly.
