Capítulo 762: Chapter 348: All Three Methods Ready, Roasting the Ancestor Master Alive
“How did he get it?” The three of them stared at each other in silence for a long while, then the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor dryly asked, and shook his head, saying, “Forget it, this must be his secret.”
However, Tianhe Sect Leader Yan was much more excited and pressed Xie Qingxue, “Is it really the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’?”
Xie Qingxue’s gaze shifted between the two people, her mind filled with unanswered questions, but she replied, “Zheng Fa said that it covers everything from Qi Cultivation to Corpse Dissolution.”
“Good!” Sect Leader Yan abruptly stood up and paced around the hall, chuckling to himself, “Good! I’ll trade with him!”
Seeing him so excited, Xie Qingxue frowned and directly asked, “Demon Ancestor… Why are you here?”
Sect Leader Yan was momentarily speechless, glanced at the Demon Ancestor beside him with a somewhat resentful expression—since you jumped out yourself, why don’t you explain?
Xie Qingxue continued, “Master, what exactly do you intend to do?”
Her expression cold, Qingping Sword’s tip still pointed at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, “If others find out that the Demon Ancestor is with our Tianhe Sect, how would the other Four Sects react, have you thought about it, Master?”
Sect Leader Yan looked at his disciple’s slightly anxious expression, frowned, and suddenly asked, “What do you know?”
“I know nothing.”
Seeing her master’s calm expression, seemingly indifferent to her questioning, Xie Qingxue felt it was impossible to understand and said through gritted teeth, “Zheng Fa told me that our Tianhe Sect will face a catastrophe!”
“A catastrophe?” To her surprise, upon hearing this, Sect Leader Yan was not shocked or terrified, but rather laughed, “Did he really say that?”
Seeing his expression, Xie Qingxue couldn’t help but understand that there was likely some truth to this, perhaps even involving her master himself?
She gazed at Sect Leader Yan, her heart filled with confusion.
Sect Leader Yan chuckled softly, seemingly unwilling to answer her question directly, merely spreading his right hand which flashed with a blue-green light, revealing a jade tube.
“This is the ‘Immortal Trapping Sword Manual’. Take it to Zheng Fa at the Jiushan Sect.”
“I’m not leaving!”
At this moment, Xie Qingxue only wanted to unravel her own doubts. She stood firm in the hall, her eyes stubbornly on her master.
“Master, if I leave today, I will surely return if anything happens to Tianhe!”
“…”
“Elder Han, my junior, which of us would watch idly as something happens to Tianhe and focus on our own survival?”
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor suddenly laughed loudly, a grating and abrupt sound.
Xie Qingxue and Sect Leader Yan looked towards him, not understanding his amusement.
“You… cough… your insight is better than that fool from Tianhe.” The Nine Nether, as if choked by laughter, coughed and pointed at Sect Leader Yan, “Cough… much better!”
Sect Leader Yan, upon hearing this, looked at Xie Qingxue with a much gentler gaze.
“Master?”
“You’ll know in the future.”
Sect Leader Yan suddenly said.
Xie Qingxue bit her lip, knowing that Sect Leader Yan was not willing to tell her the full truth at this moment.
“When that time comes, if you’re willing to come back, I won’t stop you.”
Looking at Sect Leader Yan’s calm face, Xie Qingxue took a deep breath and stared hard at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, coldly asking, “Master, have you been bewitched by the Demon Ancestor?”
But the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, hearing this, was not angry at all, instead, he laughed even louder as if he’d heard something extremely amusing.
“Bewitched?” Sect Leader Yan also inexplicably smiled, shaking his head, giving a sidelong glance at the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor beside him, “No, the Demon Ancestor woke me up instead.”
“…”
Xie Qingxue frowned, recalling the scene of the Six Sects’ alliance and feeling like she somewhat understood, yet unable to grasp the main point.
“Go then.”
Xie Qingxue was silent.
Suddenly hearing Sect Leader Yan remind her, “It doesn’t matter to me what Zheng Fa wants with this ‘Immortal Trapping Sword Manual’, but… you must tell him something.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t practice it.”
“Don’t practice it?”
But at this moment Sect Leader Yan seemed to have said his piece and merely told Xie Qingxue, “Take good care of your junior brother.”
“… I understand.”
Xie Qingxue saw that Sect Leader Yan really didn’t want to explain to her anymore, so she took her doubts and guesses, transformed into Sword Rainbow, and flew out of the Tianhe Sect.
Sect Leader Yan watched as this Sword Rainbow disappeared into the sky.
“Tianhe’s downfall?” The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was still laughing, “How would your disciple understand… you are, cough, the real culprit.”
Sect Leader Yan’s gaze dimmed, silently staring at the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’ left behind by Xie Qingxue.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor didn’t wait for his response, merely looked at the mountains and trees, palaces, and towers outside the Sect Leader’s Hall.
“To get the ‘Red Cloud Jade Book’, what abilities does Zheng Fa have…” Sect Leader Yan suddenly looked up and asked the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, “Is this Zheng Fa truly unrelated to the Ancestor Master?”
“…”
“Except for being the reincarnation of the Ancestor Master, no one else…”
“He’s dead.”
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor interrupted directly, his tone icy, making Sect Leader Yan look at his profile.
“…”
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor’s gaze remained on the Tianhe Sect.
Sect Leader Yan followed his gaze and suddenly gained some understanding:
“When the Ancestor Master was here, was Tianhe’s scenery also like this?”
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor glanced at him, his laughter gradually fading, pointed at the hall, and said:
“Back then, there was no Sect Leader’s Hall; it was just a shabby house.”
“…”
“The Tianhe and I, along with…” The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor paused, then continued, “We used to sit here every day, chatting, bickering, no, discussing the Dao.”
“And as we discussed, we’d end up fighting, and afterward, Tianhe would feel distressed. That mountain…” Sect Leader Yan followed his gaze to the mountain where the Scripture Tower of the Tianhe Sect stood, “I was the one who restored the mountain, you can’t tell, right?”
“…”
“Tianhe’s skills just weren’t good.” The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor pointed at the foot of the mountain, speaking with a curled lip, “There used to be a mountain there too.”
