The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 55 It’s Over
White mountains and clear water, dark sky and cold land. Outside Qi Lingmen, human figures were scattered on the vast land like insect dots. Many disciples were turning over the snow-covered ground, searching for the corpses of the beasts that were killed a few days ago.

The snow fell heavier every year. Except for the land outside Qi Lingmen, the Guangyuan Mountains were still submerged in the ocean and became a network of scattered islands.

Zhang Qi held a defensive talisman in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. He carefully used his spiritual power to check the corpse under the snow.

He could not afford to be careless, as several of his disciples had been ambushed and killed by monsters pretending to be dead last month.

The beast tide has come for the fifth year, and the casualties of disciples in the sect are increasing in each beast tide attack.

Unlike the Qi Ling Sect, the other sects mostly rely on low-level disciples to hold the front, in order to retain the top true cultivation combat power. This naturally results in heavy casualties, but the true cultivation masters can live more easily.

Ancestor Wang Xun destroyed the nine demon generals and almost wiped out 60% of the sea monsters in the Guangyuan Mountains, which made the remaining three families much better off.

But why did the Nine Demons attack the Qi Ling Sect first? These secrets were not something that a deacon disciple like him could know.

"Ah~"

A crow's cry was heard, and a shiny black crow landed somewhere on the snow, reminding him.

Zhang Qi hurriedly brushed away the remaining snow and saw a charred animal corpse that had been burned by magic buried under the thick snow.

Even though the Qi Ling Sect had stored a lot of spiritual materials, they could not withstand the consumption of the large-scale beast tides that occurred every two or three days. So even though searching for corpses outside was a dangerous thing, the Qi Ling Sect had to let its disciples take the risk.

Over 400 of Xuanfeng's 900 disciples died in battle in the past few years, but they did not complain about Qilingmen using them as cannon fodder.

Because the independent disciples recruited by the other several families had already died, even the lives of the younger generations of the own family were taken without hesitation.

Zhang Qi skillfully dismembered the body and took out the bones. The bones, skin, and other valuable and solid spiritual materials were handed over to the sect, while the leftovers became the private property of the disciples.

Although the fierce battles and natural disasters killed countless people, they also gave birth to many new geniuses. Many disciples made great breakthroughs in their cultivation by eating monster meat or using monster meat as medicine.

As long as they survive this disaster, the possibility of producing true cultivators in the sect will be much greater. Not knowing how the master is doing in seclusion, Zhang Qi felt a little uneasy. After all, a Qi-refining cultivator would not spend too long in seclusion for the life and death barrier. But now it has been four years, and there is still no news at all.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

Chen Ming, who was chewing on the corpse on the ground, suddenly screamed wildly. Zhang Qi hurriedly turned around and retreated back to the mountain gate, and a bunch of fireworks scattered in all directions.

Seeing the splendor of the fireworks, nearly a hundred disciples' faces changed drastically and they hurriedly ran back to the sect.

"roar~"

A few breaths later, a giant whale broke through the ice and came with the waves, followed closely by thousands of sirens.

A new round of beast tide has begun.

The spirit of the great formation, which had dimmed a lot, reappeared, and thousands of damaged puppets jumped out of the formation and moved in coordination with the formation. The disciples on Xuanfeng Mountain, who had just rested for a few days, were urged on again by the decree and quickly gathered into a battle formation, ready to stand by.

The roar of monsters, the self-destruction of formation puppets, and all kinds of chaotic sounds rang out again.

Until a beam of azure light hit the big formation spirit heavily, and the formation spirit immediately collapsed.

Several elders who were in charge of the formation at the two major formation nodes had their souls shattered and died instantly.

Wang Xing, the leader of Qifeng Peak who was guarding the center of the formation, showed a flash of grief on his face, and then issued another decree, "Send four more elders to lead the formation!"

The bodies of the four elders were carried out by the disciples, and the four Qi Feng elders walked into the two array eyes again, sat cross-legged with solemn expressions, chanted incantations and gestures, and reconnected with the array spirits.

Wang Xing couldn't help coughing. To him, these Qifeng elders were not only his fellow disciples, but also his younger disciples. Perhaps they were his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, or nephews, all of whom were close blood relatives.

The reason why the Qiling Sect has two peaks coexisting, Lingfeng is like a sect and Qifeng is like a clan, is because many inheritances can only be passed on through blood ties and clans.

He sighed and said, "Grandfather, you said that we, the younger generation of the Wang family, are not capable of great use.

But they all tried their best to protect your hard work."

Above the formation, Taoist Yuhe looked at a certain place in the void with a solemn expression and said in a cold voice: "Where did the demon general come from? There are still nine tombs in front of the gate, do you want to add new tombs?"

"Haha, if you have this ability, you wouldn't use the Nine Tombs to intimidate me."

A laugh with the sound of silver bells was heard, and the snow and fog in the sky turned into huge waves. A mermaid hundreds of feet long swayed her fish tail, stirring up the wind and waves in the sky like a falling sea, and submerged the entire territory of Qi Lingmen in water.

Taoist Yuhe held an ancient bronze lamp in both hands and said in a cold voice: "Does the Kehai royal family also want to weigh the capabilities of my small sect?"

The beautiful woman with scales on her forehead stood in the sea, smiled and said: "Xun Guang is hard to come by. If you are willing to follow me to Kehai, I will retreat. And I will make sure that all the monsters don't harm me at all."

Taoist Yuhe sneered and said, "Mermaids are good at bullying, and everyone in the world knows that."

"If you are willing, I can immediately turn back the tide in Guangyuan Mountain Range." The mermaid's eyes were gentle, as if she were a close friend. "It's just that my palace lacks a kind of Xuanca Yin light, and I need your magical power to refine it."

Taoist Yuhe held up the Qinghuo copper lamp in his hand, the light was bright, and he frowned. He only heard a cold voice: "You Ke Hai is not guilty, then what about Shang Xuan Hai?"

As soon as she said this, all the elders beside her were shocked. Chen Guan and Wang Xing even bowed down and said, "Ancestor, you must not believe the words of the demon!"

Taoist Yuhe's eyes were calm, just like her, she was as peaceful as water, totally out of tune with the people around her who were crying and making noises. "The true essence of our ancestors has been exhausted, and Qiling Sect no longer has the ability to politely reject all parties."

There was a hint of sadness in her tone. She looked at the disciple kneeling on the ground in front of her, and finally put down the ancient bronze lamp in her hand and said slowly:

"From now on, Qi Ling Sect, just pass it on."

After saying this, white light flashed on Master Yuhe's body. He had already taken off his Taoist robes. He raised his slender wrist, took off the Taoist crown on his head, let his long hair fall, and turned to leave.

"Ancestor! Why do you have to do this?"

"Ancestor, you can't do that!"

Chen Guan and Wang Xing both shouted out in panic, no longer caring about anything else.

Yu He, who was already standing on the giant fish tail of the mermaid, looked at the mermaid and said, "Can you pass on the order of the Four Seas King to recede the tide?"

The mermaid was a little surprised, and the seductive voice rang out: "Aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"

"The Xuan Cai Yin Light must be refined with the Yin Yang Xun Light magical power. If I am not willing and the Xun Light is dispersed, there will be no second one in the entire Nan Jue Island." Yu He looked into her eyes calmly, as if looking straight into her heart.

"Haha, what a smart woman." The mermaid raised her long, slender and smooth neck and sang the ancient magic rhythm. The mermaid's sweet singing spread across the four seas. The tide receded, and the sirens retreated from the Guangyuan Mountains one after another.

"So, are you relieved?"

Yuhe said no more words, but stretched out her hand. The snow on her palm melted into water. The mermaid's tail swayed on the sea, and the wind and snow vaguely whitened the ends of her hair.

The sea water around her receded, the mermaid kept her promise, and no demon dared to attack her again.

Snow continued to fall across the vast sky and earth; only the sound of the wind was whistling outside the mountain. All around was quiet, and the elders inside the mountain gate looked at the two peak masters in confusion.

In just a few years, two true cultivation ancestors had died, and the whole sect was in a panic. Chen Guan stood up, his face still full of sorrow, and stepped aside to say, "Both ancestors are gone, please come out and take charge of the situation."

"Uncle Master?" Wang Lengchan asked in surprise, "Which uncle master?"

Even though Wang Xing was so sad that his spirit was greatly reduced, he still stood up and glanced at the elders in front of him. Knowing that they all had their own plans, he said, "Uncle Yu broke through to the true cultivation not long ago. Now that the two ancestors are gone, it is natural that Uncle Yu will take over the position of the ancestor!"

A thin elder among the Xuanfeng elders asked excitedly: "Who is Uncle Yu? Is it Uncle Yu Guhong?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Chen Guan frowned and asked, "How did Elder Chi know this?"

"Ah? This... I just believed the rumors and made such a guess." A look of surprise flashed across Elder Chi's face.

Chen Guan's face changed immediately, and he flashed to the side of the man like a ghost, binding him with a magic lock.

This sudden change shocked all the elders, and they all became wary.

"What does Peak Master mean?" Elder Chi asked in horror, "Why did you take me down for no reason?"

"Uncle Yu's breakthrough is a top secret within the sect. How did you know about it?" Wang Xing also reacted and asked.

"I told you, I heard the rumors from the disciples who came back from Chouyun Mountain." Elder Chi defended loudly. "Chouyun Mountain also has more than 20 to 30 disciples, and it's not surprising that they told me the story!"

"Regarding Uncle Yu's breakthrough, the disciples of Chouyun Mountain all had their memories sealed by our ancestor. Apart from our ancestor, there are only three people who remember this incident. If you didn't have ulterior motives and had planned it in advance, how could you have known about it?"

Chen Guan questioned him harshly, and continued: "Tell me who your accomplices are, and I can spare your life!"

"Hmph, well, well, you are indeed a shrewd old man." Upon hearing this, Elder Chi realized that he had accidentally exposed his true identity, and he stopped hiding it. Instead, he sneered and said, "If there really is such a Master Yu, just invite him out and we will know.

I’m afraid that the Uncle Yu you mentioned is no longer here.

Ladies and gentlemen, Chi has already told you in advance that if you don’t make up your mind, I’m afraid that once the master arrives, you will all be liquidated together!"

After these words were spoken, all the elders looked at the two peak masters with uneasiness in their hearts.

Chen Guan's heart was shaken, and he turned back to look at Wang Xing, both of them had uneasiness in their eyes. After all, the other party was so sure, it must not be groundless.

At this time, other elders advised: "Peak Master, please ask the uncle to make this jumping clown give up."

"Yes, Peak Master! Why not invite Uncle Master Yu directly? This will also deter those who have evil intentions within the sect."

Then several elders began to persuade.

Chen Guan glanced at Elder Chi again. It was obvious that he was fearless. He actually felt an indescribable fear in his heart.

There is no doubt that Yu Guhong has achieved true cultivation, but the other party, knowing that he is a true cultivator, still looks so confident. He is definitely not a fool, but is sure of certain things.

A trace of fear also appeared on Wang Xing's old face. If there was really no foundation building to suppress it, a large and ancient sect like Qi Lingmen would be in danger.

However, considering the range of a true cultivator's spiritual consciousness, it was a little too unusual that Yu Guhong did not show up when such a big thing happened in the sect.

Chen Guan was quick-witted. He shouted coldly, "Uncle Yu has just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation and is still in the process of consolidating his cultivation. How can he be disturbed by so many people?"
Then Master Wang Feng, Elder Gu, and Elder Cui accompanied me and took this rebellious person to pay a visit.

I will wait until Uncle Yu has stabilized his cultivation before I come out to take charge of the situation. What do you think?"

When everyone heard this, they all wondered why Uncle Yu didn't show up in person, but the two peak masters had enjoyed great prestige after being in power for several years, so no one dared to object.

What's more, Elder Gu and Elder Cui are one an elder with high moral character and full of devotion to the sect, and one a sword cultivator with unparalleled combat power who has been famous for many years. Having these two people go together will make people more convincing.

The four of them dispersed the elders and went to the place where Yu Guhong was in seclusion. After they left, the elders dispersed, but for a while, undercurrents began to surge in the sect.

Chen Guan and three others brought Elder Chi to the place where Yu Guhong was in seclusion. After ordering their disciples to watch over him, they quickly entered the formation.

"Chen Guan comes to pay respects to Uncle Master Yu!"

"Wang Xing is here to pay his respects to Uncle Master Yu!"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement coming from the inner room.

Chen Guan's anxiety began to spread. He hesitated for a long time and said, "The only way to know what's going on is to break in and take a look."

Wang Xing also said nervously: "We have to wait and see, no matter how bad the situation is, we have to face it.

You two are the pillars of the sect. Even if something unexpected happens to Uncle Master, please cooperate with us for the sake of the sect's inheritance."

Elder Gu's expression became serious when he heard this, "Of course I will obey the orders of the two peak masters."

Cui Huaiqiu nodded and said, "I am also willing to do my best for Qi Ling Sect."

"Well, I will forcefully open the ban."

Chen Guan held half of the token in his hand and combined it with the half of the token in Wang Xing's hand. A complete decree instantly emitted a mysterious light and unlocked the restriction in the inner room.

"Uncle Yu, I have no intention of offending you!"

Chen Guan apologized before entering, then slowly pushed open the heavy and old door. A figure was sitting on the stage behind the heavy screens.

As soon as they stepped into the room, they felt a bone-chilling chill that made the four of them feel startled.

"Uncle Yu?"

Chen Guan called out again, but when he saw that the figure had not responded, his heart sank. He pushed aside the heavy gauze screen, looked up, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Uncle Yu!"

Chen Guan looked at the figure on the stage in shock, lost in thought for a long time.

Wang Xing and Elder Gu were also shocked and stood there stunned for a moment.

Cui Huaiqiu walked forward with an extremely grim expression, only to see that the old man in front of him was shivering and his entire body was frozen. The man in the ice had a face covered with long worms as densely packed as hair.

Through the ice, one could still see that some of the worms' black and slippery bodies seemed to be still wriggling, but the human figures in the ice had long since lost their breath.

Wang Xing's legs suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground, his eyes lifeless as he muttered:

"It's over!"

　Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I can actually write 10,000 words a day, but I don't know why my teeth hurt so badly when I type. It's really excruciating. I sit in front of the table for an hour and half an hour with the toothache. I'm really afraid of doing root canal treatment, but if I don't do it, it will hurt so much that I want to die! I'll go ask the dentist tomorrow and decide whether to do it or not!
