Chapter 93: Accident
On this day, the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain brought a few people to tie up a martial artist. The martial artist’s face was covered by a hood, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. He could only sense that he was at the peak of the ninth level. Moreover, judging from his strong body, he was a middle-aged man.
At this moment, that person was being carried by the two disciples of the Yufu Mountain. It was unknown if he was dead or alive, but he was being carried straight up to the back of the mountain.
This scene made Li Yuanqing, who had been paying attention to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain, activate the Shadowless Art. Then, he cooperated with the Sand Escape Technique and followed behind them.
Li Yuanqing’s strength was high to begin with and the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain had a lot on his mind. Coupled with the fact that his strength was far inferior to Li Yuanqing, he did not notice that he was following him.
The group went straight to the most conspicuous pile of rocks at the back of the mountain. The rocks were hundreds of meters tall and occupied more than ten acres of land.
“All of you can leave. Don’t let anyone discover you.”
When the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain walked to the rocks, he ordered the disciples beside him to retreat. Those people did not speak either. They silently retreated, leaving only the Sect Master and the person whose face was covered.
The man stood upright like a tree stump.
The Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain felt around behind the largest rock a few times after his disciples had left and saw that there were no outsiders around, before he heard a creaking sound.
A cave suddenly appeared beside the huge rock. The Sect Master carried the middle-aged man and walked straight into the cave. When he entered, he even turned his head and looked around cautiously. After confirming that no one was following him, he entered the cave and closed the entrance.
The cave was hidden in the rubble. If Li Yuanqing had not followed this Sect Master, he would not have thought that there was a cave here. And that he had hid it so well.
Li Yuanqing had already entered the cave when the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain closed the cave.
The Sect Master only felt the wind blowing past him. He was still wondering why there was wind in this cave. However, he did not expect that there was someone following behind him.
The cave was very s.p.a.cious, and there were light and ventilation holes. The cave should be quite old judging from the smoothness of it.
Li Yuanqing did not dare to get too close this time. He was even more cautious. Soon, he saw the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain walk to a s.p.a.cious hall-like place. There were layers of stairs built on it, and there were hundreds of levels of the stairs.
At the highest point, light shone on a person with hair draped over his shoulders. His face could not be seen clearly.
That person was sitting cross-legged at the highest point. His hair was grayish-white with some black hair mixed in between. Furthermore, his hair was very long and messy, almost reaching his waist.
“Old Ancestor, I’ve brought the blood food. Please enjoy it!” The Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain bowed to the old man at the highest point and threw the man in his hand up.
The Old Ancestor with messy hair suddenly opened his eyes. Before he could reach out, the man seemed to be sucked in by a huge suction force.
Then, Li Yuanqing saw an unbelievable scene.
The man whose face had been covered had his hood shattered. His face was in pain. His eyes were bleeding. His mouth, nose, and nostrils were all bleeding. Furthermore, it only took a breath’s time. Initially, he looked like a person, but in an instant, he exploded. He turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist that could not be dispersed. It floated around the Old Ancestor and kept spinning.
At first, it was still b.l.o.o.d.y and could be seen clearly with the naked eye. However, after a few breaths, the blood mist began to fade. It faded bit by bit. Finally, the blood mist disappeared.
A living person disappeared just like that. However, the Old Ancestor’s hair began to turn black, and his originally withered gray hair turned black.
Initially, the Old Ancestor’s face was filled with wrinkles, but after his black hair appeared, his face actually became smooth. In fact, he looked about the same age as the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain.
At this moment, the Old Ancestor heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been satisfied in a certain aspect. Then, he smiled and nodded at the Sect Master.
“Xinyuan, well done. It’s just that this blood food is still a little weak. Bring a Martial Saint the next time, the effect will probably be even better.”
This old man was the Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain.
He thought that the Old Ancestor was in seclusion to break through to the Martial Saint realm. He did not expect that he would be hiding in this cave and devouring martial artists to extend his lifespan.
After all, according to the age of Martial Saints, they were usually only five hundred years old. It was said that this Old Ancestor had already lived for almost a thousand years.
In an instant, Li Yuanqing understood how this Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain could live for more than a thousand years. There must be many vengeful spirits in his hands over the years. There was also the Sect Master of Yufu Mountain, w.a.n.g Xinyuan. He was really inhumane. How could he help the wicked?
Li Yuanqing regretted not killing him with one strike back then.
Yufu Mountain only knew how to be domineering and favor their disciples. They even called themselves an immortal mountain because their Yufu Mountain had a thousand-year-old Old Ancestor. They had strength. It was said that he was an invincible Martial Saint at the Grotto-Heaven Realm. He did not expect it to be a demon that devoured humans.
“Yes, the sect has been in trouble recently. The Northern Kingdom has found a big backer. He’s a young man who looks to be in his twenties. He’s especially tall and has a mole on his earlobe. His realm was especially high, at least much higher than mine. He actually spoke up for the Northern Kingdom and told the Yufu Mountain not to interfere in the feud between the Northern Kingdom and the Yufu Kingdom.
“Because I was worried about the Old Ancestor’s body, I didn’t dare to force myself. I could only promise him for the time being and placate him. After the Old Ancestor’s body recovers, we will avenge Li Zhengye!”
Although w.a.n.g Xinyuan was bending down to report about Li Yuanqing, he was thinking that this young man might be especially old since he was so powerfu. Perhaps the Old Ancestor knew his background. After all, there were too few people with such strength.
“There’s a mole behind his ear? Very young? His strength is actually higher than yours? Who could it be? Back then, the founding Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom was also very weak. He was even inferior to your Senior Brother Ma. Could it be that an elder of his sect is here?”
The Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain was also a little surprised. It was mainly because he had failed to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. In addition, he had used all kinds of evil techniques to prolong his lifespan. The various backlash in his body made him suffer. In order to deter the enemies of the Yufu Mountain,
He could only say that he was going into seclusion to advance. Other than his personal disciple, w.a.n.g Xinyuan, he did not dare to let anyone know about his current physical condition.
He made wild guesses and thought that Li Yuanqing was the Sect Master of the founding Martial Saint due to his high realm. After all, there were really not many experts in the entire continent who had a higher realm than the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain, w.a.n.g Xinyuan.
Who the h.e.l.l was this person?
