Asura Mad Emperor

Having dismissed the thirty-six Earth Dragons, Qinchuan turned back, his gaze landing on the elder of the highest order.

Feeling Qinchuan's gaze, the elder of the highest order immediately lowered his head again, standing with a slight bow.

"Previously, Elder Cheng, responsible for the second round of Dao Heart assessment, indulged in favoritism and fraud, arbitrarily changing the difficulty of the Thousand Illusion Tower's assessment, and made a move against me. He was devoured by my mount, leaving an elder to continue overseeing the second round of Dao Heart assessment."

Qinchuan said calmly, his expression indifferent and without any fluctuation of emotion, when speaking of how Elder Cheng was swallowed whole by the Crimson Flame Bird.

The elder of the highest order immediately bowed deeply in response, "Yes."

Afterward, the elder of the highest order cast a glance at the other elders present and said to Elder Yuan, "Elder Yuan, you shall continue overseeing the second round of the assessment. You must ensure fairness and impartiality, and that no personal factors interfere. Understand?"

Elder Yuan was the same elder who had previously been responsible for the first round of Root Bone screening and had also been supportive of Qinchuan before.

At this moment, hearing the personal assignment from the elder of the highest order, Elder Yuan was shocked and honored, quickly bowing and saying, "Your subordinate will not let you down, elder of the highest order."

At the same time, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Qinchuan, his heart also filled with astonishment and doubts.

He truly had not expected that Qinchuan would possess such skills and ability, not only commanding respect from the Artifact Spirit of the Thousand Illusion Tower from Cloud Sect but also able to summon the thirty-six Earth Dragons hidden beneath the Cloud Sect for worship, and even making the elder of the highest order pay great respect to him, addressing him as master.

He couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, harboring too many questions.

Setting aside the Artifact Spirit of the Thousand Illusion Tower and those thirty-six Earth Dragons.

What then about the elder of the highest order's respectful conduct towards Qinchuan? What was going on?

Could it truly be that something went awry during the elder of the highest order's seclusion, resulting in a deranged mind?

It didn't appear to be the case, though.

The elder of the highest order did not mind the doubts in the minds of those around him; having instructed Elder Yuan, he personally led Qinchuan towards the inner sect of Cloud Sect.

Qinchuan had dismissed the Artifact Spirit Xiaojin from the Thousand Illusion Tower, asking it to return to the tower, and took Qin Xiaoyu, heading up the mountain.

Just as he stepped forward, Qinchuan suddenly turned his head, saying, "What has happened here must not be spoken of outside."

In his current cycle of reincarnation, he had remained silent for too long. Some of the old rats that lurked in the shadows had probably somewhat forgotten the fear and trembling they felt at the conclusion of those heavenly events in his former life and were starting to become restless.

Even the Netherworld Hall had dared to foolishly meddle with some of the tactics and arrangements he had left behind.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Thus, he did not wish for the news of his return to be known by too many, to avoid startling the snakes in the grass.

The elder of the highest order immediately responded, "Your subordinate obeys."

Immediately after, the elder of the highest order turned his gaze towards the disciples and candidates present, his expression stern and cold, exhibiting an unparalleled majesty, a complete contrast to his demeanor towards Qinchuan.

He personally cast soul Prohibitions, sealing the memory of what transpired here within those Cloud Sect disciples and all the candidates, his voice coldly stating, "No one is to speak of what happened here!"

"Whoever dares to divulge this matter will trigger the Prohibition and their souls will be scattered!"

This filled the Sect Master of Cloud Sect and the various elders with even more fear. The elder of the highest order's actions and demeanor deepened their suspicions that he was not maddened or deranged.

This only increased their bewilderment, their eyes filled with a greater sense of shock when looking at Qinchuan.

If the elder of the highest order was not mad or mentally deranged, then why was he paying such great respect to this young man?!

While the crowd was filled with doubts, the cold gaze of the elder of the highest order shifted from the disciples and candidates and fell on them, saying, "You all must also remember, the events of this time must not be leaked!"

"Let's go!"

Qinchuan looked back and then, holding Qin Xiaoyu's hand, they started to walk forward step by step.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder didn't waste more words with Wu Tian and the others. He left Elder Yuan to continue the Dao Heart assessment and led the other elders to follow Qinchuan, with Wu Tian in tow.

Qin Xiaoyu quietly walked beside Qinchuan, occasionally glancing back at the high-ranking members of the Congyun Sect who were quietly following behind. A hint of unease and disbelief filled her expressive eyes.

Even though she was only a ten-year-old girl, she understood how powerful a force like the Congyun Sect was.

The cultivators here were akin to immortals, capable of riding the clouds and traversing the sky, existing on an entirely different level from the noble families in the Great Wilderness City.

For the Qin Family, a sect like the Congyun Sect was a towering giant whose mere stomping could wipe out the Qin Family in an instant.

However, at this moment.

This towering giant, one of the six Superior Sects of Shanhe County, the Congyun Sect with its strongest Grand Elder, was submitting to her brother's feet.

Together with the Sect Master of the Congyun Sect and a group of elders, they all followed quietly.

Even the naive Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but be surprised. Her bright eyes blinked in astonishment, almost as if she were in a dream.

"A hundred thousand years have passed, many things are still here, but the people are no longer the same..."

Qinchuan, holding Qin Xiaoyu's tender hand that was soft like jade, strolled forward while taking in the surroundings.

Looking at the familiar spiritual mountains and great peaks, the several tall and magnificent stone carvings filled with the traces of time, he couldn't see any of the old acquaintances and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Tell me about the Congyun Sect. What exactly happened in the past, and why did Wu Yong disappear?"

After strolling for a while, Qinchuan looked back at the Grand Elder and spoke casually.

"Insolence, the name of our Congyun Sect's founder is not for you to call directly!"

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the following elders of the Congyun Sect and their Sect Master Wu Tian could no longer restrain themselves. Someone reflexively scolded him.

The Grand Elder's face changed drastically at the sight, fearing that Qinchuan would become angry. He hurried to reprimand that elder, but then he saw Qinchuan wave his hand, unconcerned, saying, "Ignorance is not a sin."

Relieved by these words, the Grand Elder unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although the current Qinchuan only had a Cultivation Level of the Condensed Truth Realm, the Grand Elder, who knew his identity, still felt immense pressure.

This pressure was mainly psychological and spiritual.

Facing such a legend who had dominated era after era, facing the master of the ancestor of the Congyun Sect, he ultimately couldn't overcome the reverence he felt in his heart.

It was difficult for him to remain composed and unrestrained in front of Qinchuan.

The elder, upon hearing Qinchuan say "Ignorance is not to be feared," almost burst out laughing with indignation.

Who do you think you are? Stay tuned to empire

A teenager of fifteen or sixteen, acting so condescendingly in front of him, taking on the air of a superior, was simply too much to bear.

Qinchuan glanced at him with disdain, unworthy of further dispute.

The Grand Elder timely continued the conversation, answering, "Tens of thousands of years ago, our founder stumbled upon a profound secret. After leaving behind a decree, he departed the sect and never returned."
