Chapter 694: Always Lying to Me
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the spirit core suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, and a shadow slowly condensed into shape from the light.
He was a man wearing a navy blue star robe, with a gaunt face and a cinnabar mark between his eyebrows that was particularly eye-catching.
It is exactly the same attire and appearance as in the portrait of Taizu enshrined in the ancestral hall!
The common ancestor of the Ji and Xuanyuan clans - Ji Xuanyuan.
"Tai, Taizu has appeared!" Xuanyuan Song was the first to react, and the magic weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
He stared at the unique cinnabar seal between the shadow's eyebrows, and prostrated himself on the ground - the mark that had been passed down for thousands of years had a charm that could not be fully replicated in any portrait.
With him taking the lead, all the Xuanyuan people present finally came to their senses and knelt down to pay homage.
"Great Ancestor, your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Taizu!"
"The Great Ancestor has appeared..."
The long whip in Xuanyuan Kang's hand had already fallen to the ground and was now touching the ground with his forehead. The other elders had their foreheads pressed against the ground. Some even pinched their thighs secretly, fearing that they were dreaming.
In a flash, only Yun Qingqing and Qi Mo were left standing there, and everyone knelt down all around.
However, Ji Xuanyuan's shadow didn't even look at them, but floated straight in front of Yun Qingqing, and knelt solemnly on one knee in front of everyone's shocked gaze.
"Master..." He slowly raised his head, his eyes reddened, his clear voice trembling slightly, "Finally... I've waited for two thousand years, and I thought it would be too late... Fortunately, you've finally returned safely..."
The entire space fell silent, followed by bursts of incredulous gasps from all around.
Xuanyuan Kang remained kneeling, but suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide as copper bells. Xuanyuan Song was even more stiff, in disbelief.
The other elders and disciples were also confused.
From generation to generation in the clan, there has always been only one person who can be called the ancestor by Taizu!
Two thousand years ago, he sacrificed his life for the people...
Lady of the Nine Heavens!
What does Taizu mean by this? He waited for her for two thousand years...
Is the head of Tianming Pavilion the real Lady of the West?
???
Yun Qingqing looked at Ji Xuanyuan with a complicated expression for a moment, then slowly exhaled and said softly:
"Get up."
"Yes, my lord."
Ji Xuanyuan stood up properly, turned around and looked at the disciples of his clan who were kneeling on the ground, his face slightly gloomy.
The folding fan in Qi Mo's hand slammed against his palm, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Xuanyuan meaningfully.
"So you didn't die back then, but instead used yourself as the core to hide in this small world... That's quite a creative idea."
Ji Xuanyuan was slightly stunned by his tone, and turned to look at him for a moment:
"...Senior Brother Qi?"
Qi Mo's appearance changed after he was reincarnated as Yuwen Ye, but Ji Xuanyuan recognized him immediately from his demeanor, movements and the way he spoke.
After two thousand years of ups and downs, he finally met an old friend. A hint of joy flashed in Ji Xuanyuan's eyes.
"Hey, don't call me senior brother! Master just taught you for a few days, but never formally accepted you as his apprentice~" Qi Mo said with a half-smile, interrupting him on the spot.
"..." Ji Xuanyuan was speechless, his eyes dimmed, "...I'm sorry."
Yun Qingqing rubbed his eyebrows:
"Why are you apologizing? He was just bullying you for being honest. If I didn't acknowledge you as my disciple, would I have taught you the unique art of Qimen Dunjia?"
"...Really?" Ji Xuanyuan's eyes gleamed, as if afraid she would change her mind. He immediately knelt down and performed the formal ceremony of a disciple, "Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!"
Yun Qingqing nodded slightly, and a trace of spiritual power shot out from the void to lift him up:
"Okay, get up, take care of your tribe's affairs first, and we can deal with other things later."
"Junior brother, I'm not saying anything harsh on you, but your descendants are a bit of a problem." Qi Mo had just not acknowledged him, but now he started acting like a senior.
"Brother, you're right. I'm fully aware of the entire situation." Ji Xuanyuan looked ashamed. "Master, please rest for a moment. I'll handle this immediately."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved gently. Suddenly, a starlight condensed in front of Yun Qingqing, and in a moment it turned into a table and two chairs, with tea and snacks on the table.
"Master, please take a seat."
Ji Xuanyuan respectfully made a gesture of invitation. When he saw Yun Qingqing sit down, he turned to look at the people from the Xuanyuan clan and his face turned cold.
Xuanyuan Song and several elders were dumbfounded.
They heard the conversation just now clearly, but the amount of information was too much!
Yun Qingqing is the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, and her own great ancestor became her disciple on the spot. And that other person is not simple either. The great ancestor calls him senior brother... Is he also a person from two thousand years ago?
It turns out that his great ancestor did not die, but transformed himself into the spiritual core of this small world, supporting the operation of the small world for more than two thousand years... How come I have never heard of this!
No wonder this little world is so strange. It has no owner, but it can be controlled by a series of rules!
Originally, the matter was too outrageous and they were unwilling to believe it. They also thought that the sudden appearance of Taizu's spiritual consciousness might be a trick, and that Yun Qingqing and the other two were using it to deceive people.
However, just now, when the set of tables and chairs appeared, it was difficult for them to ignore the obvious fluctuations of the spirit core. No one could do it except the spirit core itself!
The most panicked person at the moment was Xuanyuan Kang. When he thought about how Taizu showed up while he was still challenging Yun Qingqing, sweat broke out on his forehead.
Ji Xuanyuan's cold gaze swept across the entire audience, and everyone fell silent.
His gaze finally fell on Xuanyuan Yu, who was still trapped in the formation.
Xuanyuan Yu had regained his ability to move his mouth at some point, but at this moment he bit his lower lip tightly, clenched his fists and said nothing, with deep resentment and unwillingness in his eyes almost overflowing.
Ji Xuanyuan sighed slowly, his eyes dimmed.
"Yu girl, it turns out you've been lying to me all along, right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's attention suddenly focused on Xuanyuan Yu.
The tribesmen didn't even know that the spirit core was transformed from Taizu himself, but from what Taizu said, Xuanyuan Yu not only knew it a long time ago, but also had been communicating with him?
Xuanyuan Kang could barely suppress the jealousy in his eyes. He stared at Xuanyuan Yu intently, but she snorted coldly and gritted her teeth, saying:
"What else is there to say now? I admit defeat. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you! But I lost to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, not to these rubbish in my clan!"
"It's a shame that even the Lady of the Nine Heavens, with her incredible abilities, was sacrificed to save humanity! It's been like this throughout history. What I despise most are bastards like you who step on women to rise to power, sucking their blood and bones to grow stronger, yet still look down on you and think you're so great!"
Ji Xuanyuan's face looked bad, and Qi Mo's eyes were slightly cold, and he wanted to make her shut up.
But Xuanyuan Kang's voice sounded first, and he shouted sternly:
"Shut up! You still don't regret it!"
He looked at Ji Xuanyuan and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, you've seen this woman confuse right and wrong and spread rumors! She's been lurking in the clan for who knows how long, deceiving fellow disciples and elders to obtain cultivation resources while secretly plotting rebellion against the clan and even stealing your Soul Jade!"
"Today, she has received the help of the Lady of the Nine Heavens. The net of heaven is vast and has finally caught this woman. Yet, she is still so outrageous and shows no remorse! I ask the Grand Master to punish her impartially and set an example for others. She must not be forgiven!"
Xuanyuan Kang spoke righteously, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He had been worried before. Offending the Queen Mother of the West was already a headache enough. If Taizu stood on Xuanyuan Yu's side, he would be in big trouble!
He didn't expect Xuanyuan Yu to say such a thing. It was simply courting death. Of course, he couldn't let go of this opportunity!
Taizu would never allow her to commit such a crime. As long as he pushed harder and sentenced her to death, he could rest easy!
