The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 137 Offering to the Elders

Before a cup of tea, hundreds of miles away, mist swirls, and verdant mountain ranges rise abruptly from the ground, while a few birds glide across the azure sky...

"Elder Ling, Junior Sister Yuqing! You're finally back!" The withered old man and the woman in green had just arrived at the foot of Yuqing Sect when they were greeted by a man. It was none other than Yu Lu, whom they had met once before.

"Envoy Yu, please tell us what exactly happened within the sect?" Although he said this, Ling Weiyun's clone was secretly watching Yu Lu.

He was inwardly astonished: "This guy clearly didn't leave long before us. Even with my and Yuqing's tenth-level cultivation traveling at full speed..."

They hadn't seen a trace of the other person along the way. It's easy to imagine just how terrifyingly fast this guy was!

Not only Feng Ling thought so, but even Feng Yuqing, who had previously looked down on Yu Lu, was now secretly praising him and improving his prejudiced view of his sect leader father's judgment.

"Elder Ling, no rush... let's talk as we walk!" Yu Lu gestured for them to proceed. The two withered old men raised their eyebrows and nodded. They were already at the foot of the sect's mountain, so there was no need to rush.

"This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either...!" Yu Lu sighed, then let the two walk ahead before catching up himself a step behind. He immediately dropped a bombshell: "The Ghost Locking Tower has been attacked!"

"What...!?" The old man and the girl exclaimed at the same time, their hearts filled with shock. The Ghost Locking Tower was the foundation of a sect, and even a fool could guess how crucial it was.

"The sect leader has already informed me in advance, instructing the two of you to go directly to the Ghost Locking Tower!" Seeing that Ling Weiyun's two clones were heading towards the Jade Purity Hall, Yu Lu quickly stepped in to stop them.

Upon hearing this, the woman in green turned and rushed out, while the withered old man symbolically tossed out a sentence: "Alright, thank you for your trouble, messenger! I will go myself from here on out!"

"Uh...!" Yu Lu stared blankly at the old man and the young man who had hurriedly left, and smiled bitterly to himself: "Is this how you treat me?"

……

At this moment, the first floor of the Ghost Locking Tower was bustling with activity and noise, almost gathering most of the high-ranking members of the Jade Purity Sect. A few pitiful cowards once again huddled in a corner, trembling with fear...

"Wu Ye, you have something to say about the attack on the Ghost Locking Tower?" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man stood beside the wild man kneeling on one knee, and said with a half-smile, "Speak, what is your crime?"

"Ah~, Elder, there's no need to worry too much. It's fortunate that the Sect Master and the Ghost Locking Tower can coexist peacefully!" As someone frowned and gave a look, the kind-faced old man quickly stood up and spoke up to smooth things over.

"Hmph! Liu Yidao, stop pretending. I think you're involved in this too!" The hook-nosed old man immediately chimed in, standing up and shouting angrily, while also dragging the other man into the mess.

"Luo Bin, stop spouting nonsense!" Liu Yidao's face was extremely ugly at this moment. This guy really was like a mad dog, biting anyone he saw.

"I'm making baseless accusations? Fine, then tell me in front of everyone, where is Ling Weiyun when such an important event happened? Why didn't he come?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked suspiciously at the kind-faced old man who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Even though it was a holiday, things shouldn't be this relaxed.

"This...!" "Alright, you don't need to explain! He must be a spy who infiltrated our Jade Purity Sect, and he was undoubtedly the one who attacked the Ghost Locking Tower!"

……

"Hmm, that seems to make sense. They deserted at the last minute!" After this assessment, everyone present nodded in agreement and began to discuss among themselves, while the old man's face grew even more unpleasant.

"Hmph! Since you brought the person here..." As if he had caught someone red-handed, a hint of schadenfreude flashed in the old man's eyes as he analyzed, "Then, you and him..."

"Bullshit!" Liu Yidao, enraged, pointed at the hook-nosed old man's nose and cursed, "I've been in the Jade Purity Sect for decades, and what the hell do you think you are!"

"You...!" Suddenly being pointed at and insulted, Luo Bin's face changed drastically, and his beard trembled with anger. This action by the other party was clearly a blatant insult to his hooked nose!
"Enough..." Just as Feng Tianjue was about to speak to stop the two from arguing, he suddenly frowned as if sensing something, and then a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Hahaha~...! Who was talking badly about me behind my back just now?" A hearty laugh, full of vigor, rang out, and everyone was secretly alarmed. The old man with the hooked nose gritted his teeth and said, "Half-step Legend!"

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man with white hair and a beautiful and refined woman appeared on the first floor of the Ghost-Locking Tower.

At this moment, the first layer of white mist was floating, and the scene was filled with more than a dozen floating futons half a meter high. The people on the futons could be vaguely seen to be divided into three camps...

Directly in front of him were Sect Master Feng Tianjue and Elder Liu Yidao, among others. To his left were the faction of Grand Elder Long Yuzhong. Although there were only three people on his right, Feng Ling was surprised to find that he did not recognize any of them!
But that's not all. What's most surprising is that, judging from the fluctuations in their auras, all three of these old men are legendary level experts!
"Sect Master..., this old man has returned!" Ling Weiyun's clone raised an eyebrow and bowed to the front.

"Father...!" The woman in green, rather casually, rushed towards the middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown, asking worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright, Dad's alright!" The man in fine clothes patted the back of the green-clad woman's head, then pushed her away from his embrace, gesturing for her to stand aside.

"Elder Ling, no need for formalities, welcome back safely!" Having not seen his beloved daughter for nearly twenty days, it would be impossible for Feng Tian not to miss her!
"Please take a seat...!" But Feng Tianjue also knew that this was clearly not the time for him and his daughter to exchange pleasantries in front of everyone.

"Congratulations, Elder Ling!" As soon as the withered old man sat down on the flying futon, a group of elders quickly clasped their hands in congratulations. Even the Grand Elder was secretly considering: the other party was about to break through to the legendary level, and it was not advisable to make enemies now.

"You're too kind, everyone!" Ling Weiyun's clone smiled warmly, then, on a sudden inspiration, returned the greeting politely, "Greetings to all the elders and fellow Daoists!"

"Ahem, Elder Ling, these three are honored elders of my Jade Purity Sect!" Feng Tianjue explained awkwardly, feeling somewhat sensitive to the term "fellow Daoist".

"The Hall of Worship?" As if remembering something, Ling Weiyun's clone frowned. It is said that the Hall of Worship is dedicated to all the legendary level experts.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
