Chapter 1240: Chapter 1138: Supreme Elder Jiang Yan!

"What trash!" he exclaimed indignantly, daring to show disrespect to the Supreme Elder!"

Jiang Cheng’s icy voice echoed throughout the great hall. At that moment, no one dared to move. Their breathing seemed stifled as if by an invisible hand.

This was fatal!

This was the first time the disciples of the Soul Locking Gate had seen their Sect Leader lose his temper!

After a long while, Jiang Cheng’s aura steadied, and everyone present couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. However, Jiang Cheng’s eyes still flickered with flames as he continued, "What else did that guy say?"

"Sect Leader, do you really want me to continue?"

"Stop the nonsense and speak!"

"He said our Soul Locking Gate is nothing but trash..."

As soon as Lu Yinkui uttered these words, the entire great hall fell silent; this was the most audacious statement they had ever heard within the Hidden Gate!

A single individual dared to provoke the entire Soul Locking Gate! Courting death!

A few from below could not hold back any longer, standing up with weapons in hand!

"Sect Leader, I am willing to go to that place and bring back the head of this arrogant fool to vent the anger in my heart!"

Lu Yinkui glanced at the man, snorted coldly, with his disdain growing more evident. He was sure that not only would this man meet the same fate as his if he went, but even if the Sect Leader himself went.

But, naturally, some things could not be said aloud.

After a long time, Jiang Cheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to their original places. He took an interested glance at Lu Yinkui, spotting a fleeting glimpse of fear in the man’s eyes, indicating that the stranger’s strength must be terrifying indeed.

He suddenly began to wonder if this individual really did know Jiang Yan, knew the Supreme Elder?

Could it be that this person had lived for a thousand years?

At the thought of this possibility, Jiang Cheng felt a cold sweat break out on his back. The reason he had risen to his position was due to his ability to plan ahead and to assess situations.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became until he could no longer bear it, immediately leaving the great hall and heading toward a deeper cave behind it.

This cave was the domain of the Supreme Elder of the Soul Locking Gate who had been in seclusion, detached from worldly affairs.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Cheng still knocked on the door of the cave.

Suddenly, the whole mountain trembled, and a voice as ancient as the ringing of a primordial bell resounded in his ears!

"Who comes, and what matter disturbs my cultivation?"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Cheng immediately knelt down. If outsiders had seen this, they would have inhaled sharply in shock. For this was the Sect Leader of the Soul Locking Gate, now kneeling!

"Supreme Elder, it is I, Jiang Cheng, your grandson..."

"I know. Speak, what is it?"

The elder’s voice was utterly calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Jiang Cheng, trembling, recounted the entire incident. As he spoke, he even felt the whole mountain trembling inexplicably!

He didn’t know if it was the Supreme Elder’s anger or something else.

"Are you certain that person claimed to be this king?" the ancient voice asked suddenly, this time with a trace of excitement?

This was starting to become somewhat eerie. The Supreme Elder had reached such a level of cultivation, what could possibly disturb his tranquil heart?

No longer thinking about it, he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Supreme Elder! Shall I send someone to deal with this..."

But before he could finish, a hearty laugh suddenly erupted, seeming both manic and demonic!

"Boom!"

The doors of the cave, which hadn’t been opened for hundreds of years, suddenly flung open! Countless dust particles cascaded down!

Before Jiang Cheng could react, the next second, an old man with white hair emerged from the cave!

The elder was clad in a white brocade robe, his waist cinched with a skull belt. His waterfall-like white hair danced in the absence of wind, and his clear eyes held a chilling depth. His figure was slightly emaciated and hunched.

But with his flowing garments and his cold silhouette seeming to blend into the heavens and earth, he even made Jiang Cheng feel an ounce of insignificance. The frigid wind clung to the elder’s white brows, untouched by worldly dust, as if he were an Immortal!

This... This was actually the Supreme Elder...

Jiang Cheng had only wanted to seek an opinion, but he never imagined that this matter would compel the Supreme Elder of the Soul Locking Gate to take action personally.

The Supreme Elder grabbed Jiang Cheng by the collar and demanded, "Where is the person you spoke of! I want to see that person! The one who claims to be this king!"

His voice was charged with extreme excitement!

Because in his heart, he was certain of one person, whose tone and attitude couldn’t be mistaken!

It was that person!

The Demon King Emperor had returned! The Demon King was not dead!

With the Demon King’s return, the unification of the Hidden Gate by the Demon Sect was only a matter of time!

At this moment, Jiang Cheng panicked. He never expected the Supreme Elder to be so agitated, acting like a commoner. His voice trembling, he said, "The person... has already left..."

The Supreme Elder threw Jiang Cheng aside and said coldly, "I don’t care, use all resources at your disposal to find that young man with the surname Ren! Remember to approach him with respect! Once found, he must not be harmed in the slightest! Whoever dares injure even a single hair on his head will be executed, including you!"

Jiang Cheng was stunned. Was he, a member of the Soul Locking Gate, really worth less than a common young man?

Although he addressed him as the Supreme Elder, wasn’t he the elder’s own grandson? Was such disparity in treatment necessary?

"Furthermore, Jiang Cheng! Listen well, any Soul Locking Gate disciples who have harmed or confronted that young man previously, eliminate them all! You’ll personally be responsible for this. I give you one month to find the young man, otherwise, come to see me with your head in your hands!"

"Now go and search!"

"Yes... yes..." Jiang Cheng left in a scramble, his face a mixture of confusion and haste.

He didn’t understand why the Supreme Elder had changed like this, but one thing was certain, the young man with the surname Ren was extremely important to the Supreme Elder!

His status was perhaps even higher than the Supreme Elder’s!

As he pondered this possibility, Jiang Cheng’s heart was swept by a storm of shock.

...

Meanwhile, Ren Feifan and Shao Xiangning had already arrived at the Shao Family headquarters.

Upon seeing the grandeur of the Shao Family’s headquarters, which could rival the magnificence of the Tiananmen in Capital City, Ren Feifan suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the secular world.

Once the matter with Ye Qingcheng was resolved and he had seen to her safety, he planned to return to the secular world where some issues were still awaiting his attention.

The Hidden Gate would be his battlefield in the future, but definitely not now.

He also needed to find a way to strengthen the disciples from the Saint Doctor’s Gate, integrate them, and then slowly influence the Saint Doctor’s Gate. It was essential to establish his own power within the Hidden Gate.

He couldn’t rely solely on Egg; it had been almost ten days since he arrived at the Hidden Gate, and though he had heard rumors about Egg, he had never actually seen him, nor did he know how Egg was faring in the Secret Realms of the Inner Hidden Gate.

When would the brothers meet again?

Although Egg had initially referred to him as ’father’, Ren Feifan later had Egg address him differently, for he had never thought of Egg as a child, but rather as a brother-in-arms.
