Chapter 49 – Sovereign returns (Part 2)
Ordinary disciples rarely visited the Elders pavilion, because this was the place in Zhentian sect where dozens of elders lived and practiced martial arts. It was said that this place was off-limits for ordinary disciples.
However, Long Yu and Ling Han had already become core disciples, so naturally if they could easily visit the Elders pavilion to receive their new identity token.
Of course, the distribution of core disciple identity token was not managed by the disciples themselves, but personally managed by the elders.
“There are a total of 13 elders living in the Elders pavilion and each of them are able to condense Zhenling, means all of them are super strong. Only after condensing Zhenling and surpassing the Wudao ninth layer, one is able to qualify of entering the Elders pavilion and become the elder of Zhentian sect.”
Ling Han walked along with Long Yu while giving brief introduction to him: “The elders of the Elder pavilion are the authentic elders and truly represents the administration of out sect. They are like the backbone of our sect. Compared to them, the law enforcement elders are merely at the Wudao ninth layer, they are already 40 years old and are unable to break from the Wudao ninth layer, which is why they are not allowed in the Elders pavilion and can only manage some everyday affairs and disputes of the disciples.”
Listening to Ling Han’s introduction, Long Yu could not help but think, the purple robed elder, Tan Wuchuan, who was supposedly the teacher of Qin Tianque, was actually a law enforcement elder.
But the cultivation level of that elder seemed higher than the Wudao ninth layer, was he really the law enforcement elder?
“Brother, if after becoming the law enforcement elder, one is able to condense Zhenling then is he still considered the law enforcement elder, or will he enter into the Elders pavilion?”
Long Yu frowned and asked.
“Of course, he will still be the law enforcement elder.”
Ling Han said at will: “The senior elders of Elders pavilion are very talented are really able to support the development of the sect. Even if the law enforcement elder is able to condense Zhenling and break from the Wudao ninth layer but since he is already 40 years old, it proves that his achievements are limited and he doesn’t have the qualifications to enter into the Elders pavilion.”
“Understood.”
Long Yu nodded, it seemed like the law enforcement elders, Tan Wuchuan was able to break from the Wudao ninth layer only after reaching the age of 40 years, so considering that, the authority of Tan Wuchuan should be relative large among the law enforcement elders.
Although that matter was already over, but Long Yu was still vigilant and knew that Tan Wuchuan might pose troubles for him in the future.
After all, Long Yu killed his apprentice, so he wouldn’t give up on this revenge!
Soon, the two arrived at a quiet and elegant bamboo forest, and in the bamboo forest, a tranquil bamboo tower appeared in front of them. “Elders pavilion” was written on the bamboo tower”.
But behind the bamboo forest, there was an expanse of beautiful scenery and mountains. This type of elegant and pure environment must be the reason why Elders pavilion was located here, to help elders in their practice.
“Disciples Long Yu and Ling Han have successfully become core disciples. We have come to receive our core disciple identity tokens.”
At the entrance of Elders pavilion, both of them said aloud in a respectful manner.
“Long Yu, Ling Han? So it’s you two…… keke, come in.”
The voice of a middle-aged man transmitted from the Elders pavilion. From the voice, it seemed like he was injured, so both Long Yu and Ling Han could not help but looked at each other’s faces at once, there was a doubtful look on their faces.
Why did a strong elder of the Elders pavilion sounded as if he was injured?
They immediately stepped inside the Elders pavilion. After going inside, what they saw suddenly left them in a startled state.
Inside the Elders pavilion, they actually saw a group of 12 elders standing, each of them possessed tyrannical aura, and basically, all of the elders of Elder pavilion were present there.
But at this time, the complexions of all of the twelve elders present in the Elders pavilion were not good!
“Well, old white and old black are also here……”
Long Yu saw familiar faces but he did not say anything to them, after all, he was in the Elders pavilion and couldn’t just casually say something.
However when he saw old black, a thought appeared in his mind immediately, wasn’t old black supposed to have gone out to look for Elder Yu? Now that he was back, what about Elder Yu?
Long Yu glanced around and finally saw an old man in black robe at the back of the room, lying on a bamboo bed, this was Elder Yu!
This discovery made his heart to make a “thump” sound and he felt a slight chill in his heart. Elder Yu came back but was lying on a bamboo bed. Could it that he was actually dead?
“Elder Yu is still alive, you two first sit down.”
Just then, a middle-aged man’s voice resounded in the room, making them to move their line of sight towards the source of voice. They saw a middle-aged man in striped clothes, sitting on a bamboo chair, in the middle of group of elders.
Among all of the elders present in the room, even old white and old black were standing next to him, just this middle-aged man was sitting, showing that he held the most authority among all of the elders.
“Boy, this is our sovereign, sovereign Bai.”
Old white’s voice gently passed into Long Yu’s ears, informing him about this middle-aged man’s identity.
Zhentian sect’s current sovereign, Baiyun Zong!
Even when Long Yu had not yet joined the Zhentian sect, he used to hear about Baiyun Zong in Yu Guan City. Baiyun Zong was originally an Imperial general, who was once surrounded by enemies from all directions and was still able to kill countless foreign enemies!
He was later entrusted with the post of Zhentian sect’s sovereign.
Long Yu could not help but observe him and was surprised to find out that he actually appeared to be approximately 30 year old, had a short hair, there were two pinches of small beards near the corners of his mouth, giving him an ordinary appearance. On the surface, he just didn’t seem like someone who was actually the head of an entire sect.
However, it was obvious that his aura was superior to the auras of any of the other elders present there, including old white and old black. He was the strongest among all!
But didn’t their sovereign go to Qiansi sect, why did he return so quickly?
Looking at the appearance of Baiyun Zong, one could see that he was injured, could it be that he suffered defeat at the hands of Qiansi sect?
When sovereign Bai saw that Long Yu was carefully observing him, he immediately raised an eyebrow and asked: “What’s the matter, don’t I look like the sovereign?”
“But… a sovereign’s aura should be almost infinite, simply unmatched.”
Long Yu said immediately.
“Is it?”
Baiyun Zong smiled and said: “You talks are quite tricky indeed. Well, then let me ask you something, looking at my current appearance, how do you think I will have my complete aura?”
So he really was injured!
This caused Long Yu to be in a bad mood all of a sudden.
He could not believe that their sovereign went to Qiansi sect to have a word or two with them, but he actually came back injured, what exactly happened there?
