The successor of the Shenxiao sect was stunned. He did not expect the old leader to answer like this.
"Master, didn't you say last month that you were in good health and could still rule for another twenty years? Why are you saying you want to give up your position now? And I can't afford it. I'm not even an adult yet."
However, compared to the change in attitude of the old leader of the Qi sect, the successor of the Shenxiao sect paid more attention to the second half of the old leader's sentence.
"Master, are we really going to see the ancestor?"
Besides being excited to see his ancestor, he was also a little nervous.
"Yes, every successor to the position of Sect Leader must go and see the ancestor. This is the etiquette of our sect."
The old leader of the Shenxiao sect is Youyou.
"You are the successor. We will meet sooner or later. Now we are just meeting earlier."
"Come on, Master. What am I going to say next? Who is the ancestor I want to see? When I asked you before, you refused to tell me, saying that I was not old enough and only the master could know."
When mentioning his ancestor, the successor of Shenxiao Sect showed excitement.
"I'm the successor now, and I'm about to meet the ancestors. Master, I guess you don't want to talk about it."
He finished speaking, still as talkative as ever.
Without waiting for the old leader of the Shenxiao sect to answer, he continued chattering.
"Master, is the ancestor we are going to meet the same one as the one who fought between my Daxia sect and the Jiujiu sect of Japan in Zhengzhou two years ago in 2022?"
When the words reached this point, the successor of the Shenxiao Sect was so excited that his eyes were about to light up.
"The Jiuju sect is holding summer festivals in seven locations across Great Xia. While ostensibly holding them, they're secretly setting up a counter-Beidou formation and performing the Taishan Prefecture Lord Ceremony in those seven locations, attempting to steal Great Xia's national destiny."
"It's said that a concerned citizen accidentally looked at the location of the summer festival on a map and saw that the seven places connected together looked like the Sun Island, so the matter was discovered."
"Later, Bureau 749 joined forces with Elder Zhang from the Maoshan Sect and our Shenxiao Sect's ancestor, gathering thousands of disciples to rush to Zhengzhou for a battle. Because our Shenxiao Sect's Wu Fa is primarily based on thunder magic, our ancestor volunteered to serve as the centerpiece of the formation."
"After the duel, many of our disciples were killed or injured. Even our ancestor was injured. In the end, we won the duel. Afterwards, 749 led the ten masters, Mr. Guan Xinghe and others, to capture a hundred people from the Jiuju sect alive."
"I heard that even the 749th Bureau's ten strongest masters, 'Zhenwu Shenshen', took action. After he learned of this, he immediately attacked the Jiuju Sect's headquarters in Japan and slashed the Jiuju Sect's core members with a single sword, killing all of their members. In the end, the Jiuju Sect's leader kowtowed in surrender."
He said all this in two or three breaths.
The successor of the Shenxiao Sect not only did not breathe heavily, but his eyes were also extremely fiery.
"Master, is this the ancestor you are talking about?"
When he saw the old leader of the Shenxiao Sect nodded in agreement.
The successor of the Shenxiao Sect's eyes became even more fiery, and he couldn't stop talking.
"Master is really that ancestor? Didn't they say that the ancestor was injured in the battle in Zhengzhou, and then..."
He didn't dare to continue talking after that.
The old leader of the Shenxiao Sect took over his words.
"Then the ancestor died, right?"
"cough."
Having his thoughts touched upon, the successor of the Shenxiao Sect coughed awkwardly, but still nodded.
"Yes, Master, I heard rumors that the situation was urgent at the time. The Jiuju Sect knew they had been discovered, so they activated the Palace Lord Sacrifice formation in advance. We, the disciples of the Wu Family who rushed to the battle, had no time to rest before we started fighting on the spot."
"At that time, the Yin energy of the Palace Lord's Sacrifice Formation leaked out. As the core of the formation, our ancestor bore the greatest karma. His flesh body took the brunt of the heavenly thunder, and his palms were shattered. My Shenxiao Sect is famous for promoting thunder magic, but one day, we were struck by heavenly thunder and could not withstand it."
"Even though he managed to hold on in the end, his soul was damaged and he barely survived."
For the successor.
The old master smiled and shook his head.
"Silly boy, the rumors outside are just rumors, mostly misinformation. This was just a tragic story told by the 749th Bureau to exaggerate and glorify the children of the Wu family who died in the battle."
"But I don't know how it got around to spreading. Not only did it spread online and become known to ordinary people, but it was also spread as if our ancestors had fought a battle and died heroically."
The old master rubbed his successor's head.
"So the ancestor is not dead, Master?"
