Chapter 5: It Must Be the Elder Patriarch

Sacred Fire Gate and Hundred Thousand Mountains are said to be not far apart, about a thousand miles away.

After traveling for several hours from Wu City, a magnificent building suddenly appeared between the mountains.

However, within these mountains, there was a faint black haze, giving off a sense of danger.

"Master, Elder Yu, you've finally returned!"

At this moment, as soon as they arrived at the gate, a disciple hurriedly approached them with an anxious expression.

"The seal, could it be... broken?" Liu Rushuang hurriedly entered the gate with Elder Yu upon hearing this.

Inside the main hall of Sacred Fire Gate, several Daoist figures were in negotiations.

"Liu Qingbai, in my opinion, you should just agree to the demands of Blood Fiend Tower!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gray robe, spoke up.

He was He Guang, the Sect Master of Mountain Embracing Sect.

Behind him, two elders nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, an old man on the opposite side shook his head. "As you all know, if we agree to Blood Fiend Tower, Sacred Fire Gate will no longer be Sacred Fire Gate."

He Guang sneered upon hearing this. "Although Sacred Fire Gate still carries the title of a Ninth Grade sect, your sect's strength is currently inferior to my Eight Grade Mountain Embracing Sect."

"Even though I know your sect still has a half-dead Elder supporting it, he is only at the half-step Divine Core stage. How much longer can you suppress others, or how long can you hold on?"

As He Guang spoke, the two elders behind him stepped forward, releasing three overwhelming auras at the same time.

Liu Qingbai was forced back several steps.

Three half-step Divine Core cultivators!

"Heavenly Core Master Liu Qingbai, Sect Master He, our sect invited your sect for help, why are you acting like this?"

Liu Qingbai's face turned ugly. He was at the peak of the Heavenly Core realm, but in the face of three half-step Divine Core cultivators, especially three of them, he had no power to resist at all!

"Help?" He Guang ignored Liu Qingbai's expression. "Liu Qingbai, have you ever considered your own level? I think I should take back what I just said. Your sect doesn't need to bother with Blood Fiend Tower anymore. Why not attach yourselves to my Mountain Embracing Sect? That way, my sect helping you would be a matter of course!"

"You!" Upon hearing He Guang's words, Liu Qingbai's eyes widened in anger.

"What? Are you going to make a move?" He Guang said, as the three half-step Divine Core auras were released once again.

"Outrageous!"

Suddenly, a cold shout came from outside the main hall.

A stunning figure stepped into the hall.

As soon as she appeared, the pressure on Liu Qingbai instantly disappeared.

"Grandfather, our sect's treasure, Shuang'er has found it!!!" Liu Rushuang said, and a brilliant stone emitting a magnificent light appeared in her hand.

With a terrifying aura that could burn everything, it enveloped the three half-step Divine Core cultivators of Mountain Embracing Sect.

"What!"

Suddenly, the expressions of the three people from Mountain Embracing Sect changed.

"Impossible!"

"Isn't your Sacred Fire Stone rumored to have been taken by the Elder Patriarch to a dangerous forbidden area?"

He Guang's face turned pale, and the burning sensation on his head made his scalp tingle.

The Sacred Fire Stone of Sacred Fire Gate, rumored to have been formed by the ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird's long-term residence, contained a trace of the Vermilion Bird's fire. It could even kill those above the Divine Core realm.

This was the foundation of Sacred Fire Gate's establishment and the symbol of Sacred Fire Gate as a Ninth Grade sect.

Even though He Guang and the others were at the half-step Divine Core stage, they didn't dare to act arrogantly in the face of such a sacred object in Sacred Fire Gate.

Seeing that the three were intimidated, Liu Rushuang retrieved the Sacred Fire Stone back into her hand.

Liu Qingbai swept away his previous gloom and burst into laughter.

He flashed to Liu Rushuang's side and held the Sacred Fire Stone in her hand.

"Now that our Sacred Fire Stone has returned, let's see who dares to be insolent!"

Liu Qingbai laughed arrogantly and glanced disdainfully at the three people from Mountain Embracing Sect.

He Guang's face became even uglier, and he stared at Liu Rushuang.

"Master Liu, where did your sect find the Sacred Fire Stone?"

He spoke with various doubts in his heart.

If it weren't for the terrifying aura that just enveloped them, he might have doubted its authenticity.

But since he had already felt the horrifying aura of the Sacred Fire Stone, it became even harder to accept.

He had heard that this object had been absolutely taken by their sect's Elder Patriarch to a dangerous forbidden area. Could it be that Liu Rushuang dared to enter and retrieve it?

This was absolutely impossible!

Not to mention that their Mountain Embracing Sect's Divine Core Elder had personally witnessed the horror of that forbidden area. When the Elder Patriarch of Sacred Fire Gate broke into it, the Elder Patriarch of Mountain Embracing Sect, who was close to Sacred Fire Gate, had felt the aura of the Sacred Fire Gate Patriarch and heard the screams coming from the forbidden mountain pass.

Afterwards, they were also terrified by a terrifying creature that was difficult to perceive, and their state of mind plummeted due to its intimidating gaze.

Since then, there have been rumors that someone from the recently dominant Blade Sect has fallen.

No matter what, He Guang would never believe that Liu Rushuang would dare to enter and search for things inside.

But in the face of He Guang and others' questioning, Liu Rushuang's voice was cold and clear, "Do I need to report to Master He even for where I found my sect's sacred object?"

"You...!"

Hearing Liu Rushuang's words, He Guang's face turned ugly and his veins bulged.

"If it weren't for your sect's sacred object, with only your cultivation at the mid-stage of Heavenly Core..."

He Guang wanted to say that Liu Rushuang, with her cultivation at the mid-stage of Heavenly Core, had no qualifications to be arrogant in front of them.

Little did he know, after hearing He Guang's words, Liu Rushuang smiled instead of getting angry, "Who said I am at the mid-stage of Heavenly Core?"

As Liu Rushuang spoke, a half-step Divine Core aura swept out, instantly pushing He Guang and the others back several steps.

This aura was even purer than theirs.

"Half-step Divine Core?"

"No, this is impossible. Weren't you just..."

He Guang couldn't continue speaking.

Liu Rushuang's expression was also not good as she said, "Master He, weren't you just at the late stage of Heavenly Core not long ago? But your cultivation is so unstable at this stage, it must not have come by chance, right?"

He Guang's face turned ugly as he glanced behind him and coldly said, "Hmph, since Miss Liu is so proud and looks down on us, let's draw a clear line between our two sects. Please handle your sect's affairs on your own!"

"We're leaving!"

After saying that, He Guang and the two elders flashed their figures and turned into rays of light, leaving the Sacred Fire Gate.

After He Guang left, Liu Qingbai looked at the sky and sighed, "This Mountain Embracing Sect is probably not the same as before."

Liu Rushuang nodded and said, "Grandfather, the seal hasn't been broken yet, right?"

"The Elder Supreme is still personally suppressing it at the moment, and he can barely hold on. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought help from the Mountain Embracing Sect. Fortunately, you found the sacred stone. Now, let's put the sacred stone back in its place!"

Liu Qingbai said.

The two of them arrived at the center of an array under the back mountain of the Sacred Fire Gate. The surroundings of the array seemed to be an ancient relic, and beneath the array, there was a dangerous aura hidden in the faint haze.

Half an hour later.

A figure appeared in the main hall, an old man in a white robe. His whole body was hunched, and he looked like he wouldn't live for many more years.

The old man looked at the aura on Liu Rushuang's body, and his cloudy eyes couldn't hide his surprise, "The things under this underground cave, which made our Sacred Fire Gate prosper back then, now need our Sacred Fire Gate to guard. If the seal is broken, it may be a disaster. But this time, I feel that the aura in the sacred stone seems to be too strong. After suppressing it, there is not even a trace of restlessness. Could it be that you really found the Ancestor?!"

The Elder Supreme, Gu Tianxing, said curiously.

He believed that if the sect's sacred stone hadn't been refined by the Ancestor, it wouldn't have become so terrifying.

Liu Rushuang listened and told them everything about entering the Hundred Thousand Forbidden Mountains.

The two of them listened, their breathing became rapid, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The forbidden land enveloped by the Great Dao, when the people in the mountains stepped on it, the mountain path had to appear beneath their feet.

A roar that could rival heavenly might, wanting to kick it, just kick it!

And there was not just one of these terrifying creatures!

The Profound Transcendence Tree!

The Heavenly Gold Wood!

The arm-thick Immortal Vine!

Smashed into pieces with a single blow?

This was too terrifying!

This was definitely not an ordinary person!

"It must be the Ancestor, he's still alive!"

Gu Tianxing said excitedly.

Liu Rushuang hesitated slightly and said, "I don't think so. The Ancestor... wasn't like this before."

Gu Tianxing said, "The Ancestor had already reached the peak of Divine Core before. He must have broken through this constraint. It's normal that you can't see it, Master. "

Liu Qingbai also nodded and said, "I believe Senior Brother. Otherwise, Little Shuang'er, why would he help you?"

"But..." Liu Rushuang wanted to say that she didn't feel like it.

That senior seemed to be interested in her figure.

"Don't say 'but.' You're familiar with that forbidden mountain. We'll know everything when we see each other!"

"As long as the Ancestor is still here, our Sacred Fire Gate will prosper!"

Gu Tianxing and Liu Qingbai insisted on their beliefs.
