The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 160 Guardian of Olayya

In the autumn wind of Anhui, three stones emitted a dim light. A man in purple sat cross-legged under a withered old tree, frowning as he stared at the stones in front of him for a long time.

"It really is the Demon Stone!"

The man in purple murmured happily, his tone seemingly filled with considerable surprise.

Immediately afterward, Feng Ling had a thought and casually took out a dark stone that emitted the same aura from his body, carefully comparing it with the several stones placed in front of him.

"Luck!" Looking at the dark stone in his hand, and faintly sensing an astonishing energy fluctuation emanating from it, Feng Ling sighed with emotion.

Ever since Kugu Bai obtained this unknown stone, Feng Ling has had no idea what it was.

Seeing that the material was of good quality and possessed an energy that was sometimes subtle and sometimes unsettling, Feng Ling figured it might be a treasure and kept it.

Looking back now, it's fortunate I didn't throw it away; otherwise, if I were to think about it now, I probably wouldn't even have anyone to cry to...

"Body Refining Pills and Ghost Stones, these are really good stuff...!"

Feng Ling murmured to himself, then took out another Ghost Stone and a jet-black pill. A closer look reveals the Ghost Stones placed before him.

There are... five of them!
Feng Tianjue was quite generous; behind everyone's back, he also gave Ling Weiyun's clone a Ghost Stone. In this way, the Ghost Stone naturally ended up in Feng Ling's main body's hands.

Logically speaking, those who resist evil spirit masters should be rewarded, not to mention that Ling Weiyun's clone made a great contribution in the battle at the Sun Mansion.

But in reality, this is not the case. There is an unwritten rule in the Eastern Sacred Continent: elders and senior figures have a responsibility to make selfless contributions to their respective sects!
Even if one nearly perishes while protecting the interests of the sect and encountering an evil spirit master, one must never proactively demand any compensation from the sect! It is precisely for this reason that everyone naturally overlooks the illustrious achievements of the withered old man.

In fact, this regulation, once proposed, naturally faced numerous questions from senior powerful figures, and the reasons given by its drafters at the time were utterly absurd.

—Make reasonable and effective use of valuable resources to vigorously cultivate the future pillars of the sect!

……

Perhaps compared to the boundless energy of young people, the cultivation of the older generation of experts is indeed difficult to advance, but they are the foundation of a sect, so how can we let them feel disheartened?
However, what is most ridiculous is that this absurd rule not only received the support of countless sects and factions, but also passed the authoritative certification of the Title Guild.

The older generation of powerful figures serves as a shield to ensure the continuation of the lineage. Even the most talented disciples may be nipped in the bud if they lack sufficient strength.

Those who rise to high positions in various sects are clearly not fools; they couldn't possibly be unaware of this. The person who proposed it not only possesses formidable strength but also has an extremely terrifying background.

It is said that the person was from the number one super sect in the Eastern Sacred Continent—the Demon Extinction Hall!

If even an epic-level ghost spirit master has to be wary of it, how many sects would dare to go against it?
"What a despicable fellow! How dare he cut off my livelihood! If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely capture him and teach him a lesson!"

Inside the Ghost-Locking Tower, the withered old man muttered to himself in a daze, a wicked expression gradually creeping onto his face. His words were just a joke. But Feng Ling never imagined that he would actually come into contact with that person and the number one sect in the Eastern Sacred Continent—a very deep and complex relationship at that.

"Elder Ling! What are you thinking about?" Just as Ling Weiyun's clone was secretly regretting that he had lost two "Ghost Stones", a sixty-year-old man wearing a green robe stepped forward with a strange expression and asked.

"It's alright, it's alright...!" Seemingly unaffected by the interruption of his thoughts, the withered old man came back to his senses, waved and smiled at the green-robed old man sitting in front of him.

I couldn't help but admire the efficiency of the Feng Tianjue lineage. Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after leaving the Jade Purity Hall, the three legendary experts mentioned earlier had already arrived at the Ghost Locking Tower.

This person is named Oulaiya, an eleventh-tier legendary Ghost Spirit Master, with the title "One Sword Across the World." Just from the title, you can tell that he is a swordsman who excels in ranged attacks.

When he became famous, he had a feat of "taking a man's head from a hundred miles away," which may be a slight exaggeration, but it was not far off and was enough to show his skill.

As for the other two legendary ghost masters, they seemed unwilling to speak much and only nodded to Ling Weiyun's clone as a symbolic greeting when they first arrived.

Then, the two went their separate ways and headed to the eleventh floor of the Ghost Locking Tower. After all, their purpose in coming here was to guard the highest level of the Ghost Locking Tower and prevent it from being attacked again.

So only the old man remained, keeping the withered old man company on the first floor of the Ghost-Locking Tower. Unexpectedly, Feng Ling's excitement led him to reveal his clone as well, a strange act that naturally puzzled Ou Laiya.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew the white-haired old man in front of him had a very good relationship with the sect leader, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist using his own cultivation to check the other party's condition and see if he had any mental problems.

"Elder Ling, before I arrived, the sect leader gave me instructions. I am only responsible for preventing certain people from causing trouble and protecting your personal safety. As for the specific personnel to be assessed, you will have to decide for yourself!"

The old man in green hesitated for a long time. He had originally intended to refer to himself as "this old man," but when he saw the withered old man's appearance, he felt it was inappropriate and seemed a bit pretentious!
He couldn't bring himself to call himself a "junior," which drove him crazy, so he ended up referring to himself as "Mr. Ou," a more common term.

"Very well! I will be grateful in the future, and I will trouble Protector Ou for your help!"

Ling Weiyun raised his wine glass on the table and clinked it with the green-robed old man who had been passively raised his glass. His smile was so wide that all his wrinkles were squeezed together, making him easy to leave a deep impression.

This withered and decaying appearance made Protector Oulaiya feel worried for Ling Weiyun's clone. He shook his head and sighed inwardly, "Alas, his time is coming! It seems he won't live for many more years!"

I feel your pain!

To be honest, Olaya didn't intend to curse Ling Weiyun's clone. It's just that he's already entered old age and can clearly feel his own functions declining. Even with the powerful ghost and god power to compensate, this fact is still undeniable.

It's just a classic case of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death"!
As they drank cup after cup of bitter, scalding liquor, the two gradually began to drink heartily. The withered old man, of course, had no idea what the other was thinking; he simply felt that the other had suddenly become enthusiastic for no apparent reason.

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