412: Ancestor of Rebirth

"This..."

Zhou Xiutong's expression changed.

True Lord Sanshui was the Revered Master of her elder brother Zhou Xiuyuan's two good friends. Now that True Lord Sanshui had fallen, were his two Disciples still alive?

A bad feeling arose in Zhou Xiutong's heart.

As for the fact that she had, by accident, avenged True Lord Sanshui, Zhou Xiutong was only slightly startled, but she didn't feel much emotion.

Her full-force halberd strike, delivered with lightning speed, killed one person. It was just someone she had randomly chosen, and she had not known their identity beforehand.

Looking at it now, it seemed she hadn't chosen wrong.

"I ask for the Sect's assistance; I want to inquire about the whereabouts of two people."

Zhou Xiutong suppressed the unsettling feeling in her heart and pleaded with True Lord Qingmu.

"Who? Speak freely."

True Lord Qingmu nodded in agreement.

Currently, though Immortal Master Gu Li was in charge of Sect affairs, the situation was ever-changing, so he was assisting in managing the overall situation.

"They are True Lord Sanshui's two Disciples, named Shen Xuanzhao and Yun Qingsi."

Zhou Xiutong spoke their names.

"Shen Xuanzhao..."

True Lord Qingmu's heart stirred.

He circulated his magical power.

Before long, a phantom figure appeared out of thin air.

"Junior Martial Uncle knows their whereabouts?"

Zhou Xiutong's eyes lit up. The figure displayed in this phantom was one of the two people she had seen from Zhou Xiuyuan.

Although there were some slight differences, Zhou Xiutong was certain it was him.

"Steward Shen has also passed away..."

"Steward Shen's Junior Sister passed away long ago, after True Lord Sanshui's fall."

True Lord Qingmu sighed.

This had happened before he had even achieved his Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

Furthermore, Shen Xuanzhao had come with a Zhou Family token, so he had personally met him, learned what had happened, and granted him the position of Steward, allowing Shen Xuanzhao to remain in the Xuanqing Sect.

That was why he knew so much.

"Steward Shen's belongings were sent back by Steward Jiang of the Sect. Do you need to inquire about it?"

True Lord Qingmu thought of Jiang Hengliu, who had returned with Shen Xuanzhao's belongings, and asked.

"Good."

Zhou Xiutong's eyes were filled with understanding.

She didn't know what to say to her elder brother after this.

But for now, she still needed to get a clear answer.

"Elder brother..."

Zhou Xiutong sighed in her heart... At the same time.

On the border of Qingzhou, in Guanghan Prefecture.

High above.

Inside a suspended red palace.

Jin Yan sat quietly at the head of the palace.

She coldly watched Fairy Bai Hua, whose face was ashen.

"Sister Bai Hua, you've messed up the task assigned by the Dao Revered Master. What should we do?"

Looking at Fairy Bai Hua, who was filled with shock and anger, Jin Yan asked with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, Jin Yan, Protector (Left), Pavilion Revered Master, hehe..."

"You merely want to exact revenge for our past oppression of you. Now that your goal is achieved, why feign concern?"

Fairy Bai Hua's heart was filled with unquenchable rage at this moment, and she no longer wanted to pretend with Jin Yan.

"How can Sister Bai Hua say such a thing? You truly hurt your little sister's heart."

Jin Yan, however, didn't care in the slightest.

Her inner thoughts were her own, but they absolutely could not be spoken aloud.

Buzz~

At this moment.

An ancient bronze mirror, suspended above their heads, suddenly floated up.

It landed in the air in the center of the palace.

Spiritual Qi surged.

Before long, a fiery red figure with hands clasped behind its back appeared in the ancient bronze mirror.

"Dao Revered Master!"

Fairy Bai Hua's expression changed slightly, and she quickly rose to greet the fiery red figure that appeared in the mirror.

Jin Yan also slightly reined in the smile on her face and rose to greet him.

"What happened?"

Inside the ancient bronze mirror.

The fiery red figure spoke indifferently, its resonant voice echoing through the ancient bronze mirror.

"Dao Revered Master, when we were besieging the Xuanqing Sect, just waiting for the final move to take it down, a green-armored Cultivator suddenly appeared."

"This green-armored Cultivator was powerful. With his internal and external cooperation with the Xuanqing Sect, we were no match and could only retreat."

Fairy Bai Hua's expression tightened slightly. She organized her words and slowly said.

"What kind of person could make you no match, all by himself?"

Inside the ancient bronze mirror, the fiery red figure's tone was displeased.

"I don't know, but he definitely has a Late Nascent Soul Stage cultivation."

Fairy Bai Hua's tone was firm.

"Hehe, the green-armored Cultivator's cultivation is unknown. Perhaps he only has an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, who knows."

"It's just that Sister Bai Hua was afraid that the sisters in the Sect would be injured, and out of consideration for the Sect sisters, she ordered the Cultivators in the alliance to retreat. This is truly excusable."

Jin Yan had a sweet smile on her face, and her tone was sincere and earnest.

"You!"

Fairy Bai Hua's expression changed.

She hadn't expected Jin Yan to speak like this at this moment, tearing their facade apart then and there.

One must know, Jin Yan also bore responsibility for the failed attack.

"Is that so..."

Inside the ancient bronze mirror, the fiery red figure's gaze was deep as he looked at Fairy Bai Hua.

"Dao Revered Master..."

"No need to say more. Just remember, once you enter the alliance, you are an alliance Cultivator, with no distinction between us."

Fairy Bai Hua still wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by the fiery red figure.

"Yes, Dao Revered Master."

Fairy Bai Hua's heart sank, but she could only bow and agree.

"Alright, you two don't need to concern yourselves with this matter. This Venerable One has other plans."

The fiery red figure's last image disappeared from the ancient bronze mirror.

"Respectfully sending off the Dao Revered Master!"

Jin Yan's voice was clear.

But in Fairy Bai Hua's ears, it was so harsh.

Nancang Domain.

Somewhere.

Inside an ancient bronze palace buried deep underground.

A fiery red figure rose from a tall throne.

With a wave of his hand, the mirror in front of him dissipated.

"Useless!"

The fiery red figure cursed coldly.

Then, he turned and walked towards the depths of the ancient bronze palace.

Passing through one bronze door after another.

The fiery red figure arrived before a secret chamber in the depths of the ancient bronze palace, from which an profound aura emanated.

"Old Ancestor."

The Dao Revered Master of the Bath of Fire Dao, dressed in fiery red robes, bowed to the tightly shut bronze door of the secret chamber.

"What is it?"

A ethereal voice sounded from within the bronze secret chamber.

"This subordinate made an error in judgment. There are two Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators hidden in Qingzhou.

"It will be difficult for Bai Hua and Jin Yan to take them down."

The Bath of Fire Dao Revered Master said in a deep voice.

Among the Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the alliance, besides Fairy Bai Hua and Protector (Left) Jin Yan,

There were also him and the Protector (Right).

It was just that both of them held important positions and could not move lightly.

If not for these reasons, a mere Xuanqing Sect would have been annihilated long ago.

"Oh?"

"Two Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators?"

"This Venerable One understands."

"You may withdraw."

The ethereal voice came from the secret chamber in the depths of the ancient bronze palace, reaching the ears of the person in fiery red robes.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

The fiery red figure bowed and withdrew.

At the same time.

Inside the secret chamber.

A phantom figure, formed by flames, rose from an old man sitting cross-legged, its appearance identical to the old man's.

Spiritual Qi gathered, and the phantom figure slowly solidified, its power contained and not outwardly displayed.

Taking a step, it entered the Void Realm.
