797 Eyes Adorned With Flowers, Heart Set on the Stars (2)

“Because, in the year when the Ghost Emperor pa.s.sed away, a baby was born within the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. He was born from the convergence of the Ghost Emperor’s bloodline with the heavens and earth. After that, he led the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect to rise all the way, and though he eventually fell, he left behind his bloodline.”

“This bloodline is considered the descendant of the Ghost Emperor and the leader of every generation of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.”

“However, with each generation, the bloodline became thinner and thinner until it lost its prominence. But occasionally, individuals with a strong bloodline still emerge. Your Third Senior Brother is the only one from the current generation who possesses the bloodline of the Ghost Emperor.”

“Third was born 30 years ago. As his bloodline became denser, when he was in his teens, someone from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect wanted to refine him into a treasure. However, with the help of his supporters, he escaped and became my disciple.”

“However, his desire for revenge is intense and he couldn’t wait that long. Hence, he used many years of planning and preparation to return to the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.”

“He’s not afraid of death. Although he appears to be a member of the human race, he’s not truly one. His bloodline talent allows him to revive on any descendant after death, though it’s difficult for his consciousness to fully awaken. That’s why your Third Senior Brother indulged himself in the Forbidden Sea for years, producing numerous offspring. I suspect that even he might not be aware of the exact number.”

“He aims to give all his ancestors a chance at revival, using this to acc.u.mulate power to eventually overthrow the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect. Perhaps one day, even some ancestor might revive on him. The 禁 mark on him was formed for this purpose, but my cultivation is limited, and whether it can help him suppress those ancestors is unknown.”

“The Grand Affairs Immortal Sect knows all of this but they still kept sending Dao companions to him under house arrest, probably having found other methods of refining bloodlines and turning the situation around. However, ultimately, this is an act of betrayal and deceit. If he wasn’t my disciple, I might not bother, but since he is, the situation is different.”

“The method of reconciliation needs to be considered by the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect itself. However, one thing is clear: my disciple has kowtowed to me. Therefore, I will protect him. Anyone who dares to harm him, I will annihilate their entire sect and clan.”

Old Master Seventh calmly spoke. When Xu Qing heard this, his heart trembled. Third Senior Brother’s talent was similar to the parasitic life forms of the Bizarre Fiend Race but it was even more evil.

Daoist Sima, who was outside the building, wasn’t surprised by this. As the previous ancestor of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, he naturally knew many things. Hence, after a long silence, he turned his head and bowed to the building.

“Deputy Governor, this is my junior brother’s fault. I will make him give a satisfactory explanation.”

Old Master Seventh didn’t speak.

Xu Qing fell silent. From his standpoint, it wasn’t good for him to say much about this.

Just like that, the great wing whistled and crossed the Grand Affairs Misfortune Pa.s.sing Mountain a day later. It followed the tributary of the Immortal Enrichment River and approached the Forbidden Sea until the Eight Sects Alliance appeared in front of it.

The bell rang twenty one times, shaking the sky. This was the highest etiquette, representing the lofty respect of the Eight Sects Alliance.

As the bell rang, the Alliance Leader of the Eight Sects Alliance and the ancestors of the various sects welcomed them outside the sect.

Xue Lianzi and Zi Xuan were among them.

Xue Lianzi’s expression was filled with smugness and Zi Xuan’s face was filled with gentleness.

Most of the other sect’s ancestors had similar expressions. Only the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect’s ancestor had a desolate expression.

As for the Alliance Leader of the eight sects, his expression was gentle and one couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry at all. Only the instant the great wing appeared did he show a moment of trance and complexity. However, he quickly returned to normal and bowed respectfully to the great wing.

The others all bent down.

The Eighth Sects’ main city was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Countless disciples looked at the sky with excitement and antic.i.p.ation. The Seven Blood Eyes disciples among them looked extremely proud and in high spirits.

“Welcome, Deputy Governor and Edict Bearer Xu.”

When the voices of the eight sects spread through the sky, Xue Lianzi’s laughter was very obvious.

Putting aside the matter of the third disciple, Old Master Seventh smiled and walked out of the great wing with Xu Qing, heading towards the Eight Sects Alliance.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, especially when he saw Zi Xuan, Xu Qing’s heart stirred slightly. He thought of the lantern in the Immortal Forbidden.

Zi Xuan was also looking at Xu Qing. Seeing that Xu Qing wasn’t acting as usual, the smile on her face became even gentler.

As they got closer, Old Master Seventh first brought Xu Qing to greet Xue Lianzi.

Xue Lianzi’s face was flushed red, as though this moment was the highlight of his life. His laughter was so loud that it spread in all directions.

After that, it was Old Master Seventh exchanging greetings with everyone.

This time, Xu Qing couldn’t leave. His ident.i.ty was no longer that of a Dao Child. As the future county governor, he had to be with Old Master Seventh because this would be a situation he would often face in Fenghai County in the future.

Just like that, the welcoming ceremony lasted for more than two hours and came to an end. Under the respectful gaze of the Eight Sects Alliance Leader, Old Master Seventh and Xu Qing left and followed Xue Lianzi back to the Seven Blood Eyes’ territory.

The 1,000 Sword Holders from the county capital stayed guard over the sect.

Qingqin lay in the clouds in the sky and looked at the Nanhuang Continent.

“Should I go and see Big Brother?”

On the ground, Zi Xuan looked at Xu Qing and the others who had left. She knew that they had many things to do, and it was inappropriate for her to go over now.

She was about to return to the Mystic Nether Sect in a good mood when her gaze swept past the Alliance Leader at the side. She saw the complexity in his eyes and chuckled before turning into a rainbow and leaving.

Although she didn’t say a word, this light laughter revealed all the meaning.

The Alliance Leader fell silent as her laughter echoed in his mind. It was very ear-piercing, causing the complicated feelings he suppressed to surge again.

A long time later, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they had resumed their gentleness.
