The group followed behind him, barely daring to breathe, until he stopped inside the ancestral hall.
He looked at the highest tablet, the one placed alongside the ancestor Su Yan, which read: "The Spirit Tablet of Liu Lingsu of the Su Clan."
The man in the yellow shirt stepped forward, seemingly wanting to take down the spirit tablet, but as a spirit, he couldn't touch the physical object, and then sighed in disappointment.
After a long while, he turned to face the crowd and suddenly said, "Why are you all following me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. It turned out that this man could see them.
At this moment, Ye Qingyun led everyone to kneel before the man in the yellow robe. "Ye Qingyun, the 77th generation sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, pays respects to senior! May I ask your esteemed name?"
"Me? I'm just a Taoist priest. I can't even die in peace. Kid, come here!"
As he spoke, the man in the yellow shirt pointed at Xiao Yuhan. Xiao Yuhan was somewhat puzzled and slowly stepped forward. "Senior, are you calling me?"
Unexpectedly, the man in the yellow shirt suddenly slapped Xiao Yuhan on the back of the head, but didn't stop, continuing to hit her while angrily saying, "You brat! I told you not to pull the grass off my grave! I told you not to be so handsy! If you're going to cultivate, then cultivate! Why are you pulling the grass off my grave!?"
Several blows in a row stunned Xiao Yuhan. The man in the yellow shirt seemed to still be angry, but he stopped what he was doing.
Xiao Yuhan then remembered that she had thought the grass was somewhat unusual, so she had casually pulled it up. "Senior, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, you..."
"Senior my foot! This is the Heavenly Sword Sect, right? How come it's so dilapidated? And how come you, the sect leader, only have this much strength? Sigh... How's the Kunlun Immortal Sect doing? Has the Heavenly Sword Sect given those little brats from Kunlun a good beating? Don't tell me you guys often get beaten up by them, I can't bear that embarrassment!"
At this moment, Liu Jiantang replied softly, "Senior, the Kunlun Immortal Sect has no successors. Among the immortal sects today, the Heavenly Sword Sect is the leader."
The man in the yellow shirt then noticed Liu Jiantang, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey! You're quite interesting, kid. Supreme sword heart, tsk tsk tsk, the path of annihilation, still not working. Kid, take my advice, you're beyond saving now. Either maintain an invincible heart for the rest of your life, becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents, or if you waver, that will be the day you die!"
Liu Jiantang was taken aback and frowned. Several of his fellow disciples who knew him well were afraid that he would be dissatisfied with what he had just heard, and they looked at him with some concern. However, Liu Jiantang was not angry. Perhaps he knew that the man in the yellow robe was right. So he said humbly, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the man in the yellow shirt suddenly frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "Sigh... Oh no, how can you be so humble? Shouldn't you have said something more audacious like, 'Mind your own business, I've never been afraid of anything, let's fight if you dare?' Quick, repeat what I just said."
Everyone frowned, and Liu Jiantang stared at the man in yellow with an even more unpleasant expression, increasingly puzzled.
"Senior, please don't joke."
The man in the yellow shirt tilted his head. "I sounded like I was joking. If it weren't for the fact that you're the strongest among this group, I wouldn't bother with all this talk. Kid, do as I say!"
Liu Jiantang frowned and glanced at Ye Qingyun not far away. Ye Qingyun was also puzzled, but he nodded, indicating that Liu Jiantang should do as he was told.
Liu Jiantang, who was usually arrogant, hesitated for a moment, but he still imitated the tone of the man in the yellow shirt and said, "I...I've never been afraid. If you're not convinced, let's fight!"
"Hey! Right...you young man, you should listen to advice. You should have comprehended the invincible path the moment you heard the Dao, so what are you being so humble about! No matter who stands in front of you, you can be humble in words, but you must not have the slightest thought that you are inferior to them. The Supreme Sword Heart is the invincible path, so never lose to yourself! Remember that!"
Liu Jiantang seemed to have an epiphany. He thought that after he entered the Dao of the sword, he should be more restrained in his sharpness. However, he gradually felt that he was not living like himself. He also felt that no matter what he did, he could hardly improve in the way of the sword. When he heard the man in the yellow shirt say this, he suddenly felt a strange tremor in his heart.
It's as if some seed has been planted in my heart, taken root and sprouted, waiting to blossom and bear fruit someday in the future.
At this moment, the man in the yellow shirt looked at everyone and said, "My name is Su Yan. That's right, I am your ancestor. Quickly, kowtow to your ancestor, and I will teach you cultivation! Later, I will give each of you a great treasure!"
