104: The consent of the three elders, the change of the law of the dead

“Greetings, Hall Master Long!” The three elders, immediately after stopping Long Xingyu, performed the Knight's Salute towards him, a sign of respect for a Divine Seal Knight.

They were all previous wielders of the Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor who had since retired.

Therefore, they understood Divine Seal Knights quite well.

And similarly, they knew of Long Xingyu's existence and his identity.

“Greetings, three elders. Please lead me to the Sealed Cave next,” Long Xingyu returned the salute and said.

Hearing this, the three elders were stunned.

They had initially thought Long Xingyu had stumbled in by mistake and intended to ask him to leave.

But they hadn't expected him to come specifically for this.

Immediately, the three of them refused.

“Hall Master Long, although I don't know how you learned the location of the Sealed Cave, which only the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance is privy to, the old rules state that only the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance is qualified to enter Knight Sacred Mountain.”

“Though you are a Hall Master, the current Alliance Master is Alliance Master Yang Haohan. If you were to enter, it would not conform to the rules.”

The elder who was leading them spoke these words.

Under normal circumstances, the Sealed Cave would not have more than five people.

That is, the three elders guarding the Sealed Cave, and the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance; at most, the Alliance Master had made reforms during this period.

And in this generation, only four people knew: these three elders and Yang Haohan.

Long Xingyu was the special fifth person.

If it were a year later, Long Xingyu's presence here would not be surprising. At that time, after the Temple Competition concluded, it was very possible for Long Xingyu to become the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance.

But now was not the time.

That's why the three elders were blocking him.

“That's fine,” Long Xingyu didn't insist, but merely took out a token and placed it before the three of them.

Seeing this, the three were shocked.

It was a sacred mountain token.

This granted the highest administrative authority over Knight Sacred Mountain, including the Sealed Cave and the Dragon Clan's resting place above.

It could manage everything.

Normally, this could only be obtained by the Hall Master of the Knight Temple after becoming the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance. What was the situation with Long Xingyu now?

Did he rob Yang Haohan?

That wasn't possible either!

Their confusion was actually quite simple: a while ago, Long Xingyu had learned of all this in advance and specifically discussed it with Yang Haohan.

Although Yang Haohan was shocked as to why Long Xingyu knew of the Sealed Cave's existence,

He immediately handed the sacred mountain token to Long Xingyu. Anyway, with Long Xingyu's ability, it was just a matter of going there half a year earlier.

Since he knew about the Sealed Cave and intended to go, Long Xingyu must have his own ideas.

Then all he had to do was support him.

“Three elders, may I enter now?” Long Xingyu looked at the three seniors and asked.

The three elders paused.

They immediately began to discuss.

Long Xingyu's actions were against the rules, yet also perfectly within the rules.

Because the sacred mountain token had arrived.

Then there was no problem.

They clearly understood that Yang Haohan must have given his instruction.

And although they didn't know about Long Xingyu's recent feat at Yulong Pass, they did know of his powerful strength.

In the future, he also had the potential to become the Alliance Master of the Temple Alliance.

So, entering for a bit wouldn't be a problem.

Immediately, the three of them nodded.

Looking at Long Xingyu, they said, “Hall Master Long, please, I will lead the way for you.”

“Then I thank the three elders,” Long Xingyu nodded.

Soon, he followed the three elders forward.

And not long after, the three elders each took out a token and slowly activated it.

Golden light shimmered, and each golden token, activated by the elders, released six runes. A total of eighteen runes from the three tokens appeared in the air, rapidly radiating dazzling light around everyone.

It was incredibly powerful, making one yearn for it.

Immediately after, a huge golden vortex enveloped all four of them.

Amidst the intense surging of the light spirit mist, in the next instant, the three elders and Long Xingyu vanished from their original spot.

Long Xingyu offered no resistance to this.

Likewise, as the Hall Master of the Knight Temple, he also knew that Knight Sacred Mountain contained an extremely powerful array. It could be said that the entire Knight Sacred Mountain was built because of the array.

To understand the secrets here, one must be familiar with the array or be led by someone from here.

And coincidentally, Long Xingyu had never studied the array here.

So he obediently followed.

Soon, they arrived in a special cave.

The cave was quite large, about twenty zhang, and very unique.

It was also inscribed with elven script, and similarly, Long Xingyu sensed peculiar auras within it, somewhat familiar. At the same time, the Eternal Melody in his chest also heated up, as if it had sensed something.

“At that time, these Eternal Heroes seniors were successfully transformed into undead because of Ilay Kes's undead scroll, which allowed them to become undead and rest here.”

“And now, the aura of those scrolls still remains here, causing the Eternal Tower and Eternal Melody to react!”

Long Xingyu felt all this and spoke.

And similarly, after sensing the aura of the Eternal Melody, the surrounding endless undead aura also moved, continuously approaching Long Xingyu.

It enveloped his body, shimmering with its unique aura.

It was very powerful.

“What's going on?” The three elders looked at all this, their faces filled with disbelief.

They truly hadn't expected such a result now.

They could sense that what was approaching Long Xingyu nearby was undead energy, which meant it was the power of the dead that filled them with fear and timidity.

And this power was actually heading directly towards Long Xingyu?

What was happening?

Immediately, one elder began to activate the array, intending to block all this, but he found that there were no flaws in the array; it was as if everything was moving according to the rules.

This left that elder somewhat stunned.

He didn't know what was happening.

It was very mysterious.

But he didn't dare to give up, because this was Long Xingyu.

This was the most promising and most powerful Divine Seal Knight in the future. If he were to be infected by this undead energy, or even have his future foundation damaged, then it would be troublesome.

The Knight Temple would be greatly diminished!

Thinking of this, the three elders began to search for a solution.

However.

A moment later, they stopped directly.

Because Long Xingyu had not undergone any changes; instead, a special situation appeared at this moment.

That was, Long Xingyu actually began to directly manipulate those undead auras! (End of chapter)
