Chapter 226 - 226 Come Over and Pay Your Respects to Your Martial Granduncle

226 Come Over and Pay Your Respects to Your Martial Granduncle

Before the evil-sounding female voice had died down and the sword spirit’s figure had yet to come out from behind Liu Yuan, Fei Chen’s faint scream with a little fear stunned everyone.

The first thing that caught people’s attention was his expression, which could be called a loss of self-control. It was an expression mixed with fear, shock, disbelief, and the subconscious action of retreating.

Fei Chen’s cultivation base was definitely not weak since he was called over by the Sky Treasure Pavilion to explore the Martial Emperor’s Tomb. His cultivation base at the Void Refinement stage was considered the strongest among all the people present.

Although it was a little embarrassing for him to be at the same cultivation level as the Ling Hua of the younger generation, not everyone had such talent and qualifications after all. Moreover, the cultivation level of the Sky Treasure Pavilion was more related to opportunities, so it was not embarrassing.

Therefore, before the true leaders of each sect arrived, this guy had the qualification to take advantage of his seniority. In addition to his own personality, he was a little arrogant.

However, for such an arrogant old man to suddenly act as if he had seen a ghost and was scared out of his wits, everyone could not help but feel a sense of absurdity and disbelief.

And the following ‘Grand Elder’ was even more shocking!

There was only one Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion who was still active.

She was the great-aunt of the Sky Treasure Pavilion’s master, Xiahou Su. She was at the Crossing Calamity stage cultivator and the Supreme Starshift, Xiahou Cenyi. Her age was unknown, but according to the Green Centipede, she should be about 1,500 years old. She was 500 years older than the ancient Saint.

She called that skinny old man Fei Chen ‘brat’, and it seemed to make sense…

Everyone’s eyes moved away from the shocked Fei Chen and fell on the woman in red who suddenly appeared behind Liu Yuan.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her red eyes were like fire. The smile on her face was very perverted. She raised her chin slightly and naturally reached out to slap the sword in Liu Yuan’s hand back into the scabbard. Then, she pulled out the Evil Heart from the scabbard. Holding the sword in her hand, she drew a flower and pointed it forward.

Liu Yuan watched as the sword left his hand, not resisting at all.

The fact that they were willing to handle each other’s weapons without any reservations clearly showed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Fei Chen had just recovered from the extreme shock and saw this scene. His pupils could not help but shrink and his mind went blank.

‘W-w-w-what… What’s going on with the Grand Elder and this kid?’

No, that’s not right! Why was the Grand Elder here?

Could it be a withered tree in spring?

Fei Chen’s expression was stiff, and he did not know what to think.

But in fact, Liu Yuan was just stunned for a moment and did not react. In addition, Xiahou Cenyi was now in the state of a sword spirit with Evil Heart, so the Sword in the Box did not resist at all.

Ling Hua, who was standing at the front of the group from the Jade Mirage Sect, had a cloudy expression on her face. Her hands, which were covered by his wide sleeves, moved slightly, and her eyes fell on the sword.

No one noticed that when Xiahou Cenyi was drawing the flower. She was most focused on the body of the sword with the scabbard, while she was pointing at the hilt.

When she stopped, the black and sharp blade slid out a bit due to inertia.

The others thought that she was going to draw her sword, but the pre-action was a little fancy and took a little longer.

But for some reason, Ling Hua noticed this.

The Senior Sister of the Jade Mirage Sect’s eyes, which were as cold as stars, fell on the small part of the sword.

In addition to the red cracks on the body of the sword, there was also a sword inscription carved later on – ‘Our Treasure, Junxuan’.

As for Liu Yuan, when he was conversing with the crowd earlier, he had been holding this sword very naturally. It was obvious that he had been using this sword for some time.

“…”

Ling Hua’s expression was so calm, like an ancient well without any waves. She fully reflected the calmness that she should have as the leader of the Jade Mirage Sect’s new generation with the most potential.

She looked up and saw Xiahou Cenyi’s face. Her slightly widened beautiful eyes and the devilish smile were filled with an undisguised provocation and smugness.

Ling Hua immediately understood that Xiahou Cenyi was showing her on purpose.

This was a blatant show-off!

It had to be said that compared to the previous few, the Grand Elder was indeed the Grand Elder. She did not think about hiding anything from the start. Perhaps this was the power brought by strength.

She could just get the things she wanted.

How could she give her toy away to someone else?

Not only did she want to get it, but she also wanted to tell others that she had played with it, played with it all over, and even left her own mark.

And you can only watch.

Ling Hua, who had always been profound in Daoism and self-cultivation, subconsciously clenched the Demon Subduing Sword in her hand. Her calm eyes darkened a little, as if a trace of terrifying cold light was brewing in them, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She was still the Daoist woman who was like the cold smoke in the distant mountains, neither close nor distant.

The Ling Hua next to her felt a chill down her spine. When she suddenly became alert, she scratched her head in confusion. There was nothing strange. She wondered if she was hallucinating because she was too nervous.

Swish!

The sword spirit looked at the seemingly unresponsive Ling Hua with a faint smile. In the blink of an eye, she pulled out Evil Heart and said coldly, “Sky Treasure Pavilion disciples, listen up.”

The people from Sky Treasure Pavilion were still in a panic. Most of them had never seen Xiahou Cenyi before. They only knew from the rumors that the Pavilion Master, Xiahou Su, was very respectful and obedient towards this lady. She had a very high status and was one of the Grand Elders in the pavilion.

Such a person should not have appeared here, and in such an unexpected way, he had appeared beside an outsider.

Thus, no one answered for a short time, and they all turned their eyes to Fei Chen.

Fei Chen had seen the Grand Elder before, but he was still a little suspicious, suspecting that it was Liu Yuan’s trick. He smiled and cupped his hands. “Grand Elder, do you have any token…”

Xiahou Cenyi smiled, “tTken?” Let me think… Fei Chen, the year you entered the pavilion, you did not want to let go of your parents and cried until you were covered in tears and snot, and you refused to let go of the table leg. You cried and made a scene, and even the juniors in charge of recruiting disciples in the pavilion laughed. I still have the photostone from back then, do you want to look back on your childhood?”

Immediately, the disciples of Sky Treasure Pavilion looked at the skinny old man.

Fei Chen’s face turned red as he hurriedly cupped his hands and smiled bitterly, “This junior was wrong, Elder, please speak…”

Xiahou Cenyi turned and smiled at Liu Yuan until the latter’s scalp went numb. He said, “All of you, come over and pay your respects to your Martial Granduncle.”

Martial Granduncle?!

The entire Sky Treasure Pavilion was dumbfounded. They looked at each other and were at a loss.

As the Grand Elder, Xiahou Cenyi’s seniority in the Sky Treasure Pavilion was uncountable, but everyone had tacitly acknowledged her as the highest Grandmaster in the entire sect.

By saying this, she was either saying that Liu Yuan was her disciple or that Liu Yuan was her Junior Brother. No matter which one it was, it meant that in the blink of an eye, this nameless junior in front of her had become an elder of unknown seniority.
