Chapter 28: Disbelief
"Seventh Elder is dead!"
In front of many witnesses, the Sect Master of the Qixuan Sect directly killed the Seventh Elder at Qingxuan Peak.
"Why didn’t he dodge?"
The Sect Master also did not expect that his moment of anger led to the Seventh Elder being caught off guard and killed instantly.
"My own ancestor has only a Nascent Soul stage of cultivation. How can he dodge your sneak attack, a powerful Divine Transformation expert? How could he possibly avoid it?"
Seeing his ancestor dying right before him, the man holding his son’s body wore an expression of despair.
At this moment, he felt somewhat hysterical.
If he had known the outcome would be like this, he should not have sought his ancestor’s help.
Just then, several flashes of light quickly approached; these were the other Elders of the Qixuan Sect.
"Sect Master? What happened?" a Elder asked the Sect Master.
"I accidentally killed the Seventh Elder…" The Sect Master then explained the events that had just occurred.
Hearing this, all the Elders had very grim expressions.
However, the occurrence of such an event within the Qixuan Sect would absolutely be a tremendous scandal.
So, immediately, after a brief discussion, several Elders began to scan the surroundings with their spiritual awareness.
Everyone nearby was quickly detained by the Elders.
These individuals would soon be subjected to memory erasure and brainwashing.
"Supreme Elder, how should we handle the Long family?"
"Find out how many people in the Long family know about this, then erase the memories of those who do."
"As for the death of the Seventh Elder, we’ll say he was attacked and killed by a powerful beast tribe member."
One day later.
"What? My ancestor was killed by a beast tribe attack?" In the Long family, after everyone learned the news, they couldn’t believe it.
"Wasn’t the ancestor in seclusion in his cave yesterday? How could he be attacked by the beast tribe?" a young man questioned.
The young man’s name was Long Haichuan, the ancestor’s most favored descendant, and he had visited the ancestor just yesterday.
He found it hard to believe that his ancestor was assaulted by the beast tribe.
Moreover, not only did the ancestor die, but his uncle and cousin also perished alongside him, which seemed too strange.
However, this was the response provided by the Immortal Gate, and they even presented "evidence," so the Long family had no choice but to believe that their ancestor had indeed been killed by the beast tribe.
Whether or not he was actually killed by them did not matter to the Long family anymore, as their pillar of support had collapsed.
Perhaps to soothe the Long family, nearly all of its members were summoned individually by the Immortal Gate Elders.
One day later.
"Supreme Elder, we have brainwashed all the Long family members."
"Mm! Since there are no issues, let’s pick the most talented disciple from the Long family to nurture," the Supreme Elder said lightly.
Although the Long family’s ancestor died, as the Immortal Gate, they would not immediately leave them in cold.
On the contrary, they would support the Long family, ensuring that they could at least maintain their position within the Immortal Gate.
After all, if the Long family fell out of favor today, the Immortal Gate would only oppress them further in the future, which would mean that their descendants would also face oppression.
Out of empathy, they could not suppress the Long family; instead, they had to lend them support.
…
"I don’t believe the ancestor was killed by the beast tribe…"
On Qingxuan Peak, a young man was searching for something in a cave.
This young man was Long Haichuan, a favored descendant of the Long family’s ancestor.
Long Haichuan refused to believe that his ancestor was killed by the beast tribe, but he had no proof.
So, he decided to search in the ancestor’s cave, hoping to find some clues.
However, this cave had already been searched by the Elders of the Immortal Gate, and all items had been cleared away by other Long family members.
It was nearly impossible for Long Haichuan to find any clues in the cave.
"So annoying."
After searching for a long time without finding a clue, Long Haichuan felt frustrated!
He noticed the exquisite bed in the cave and thought that this cave would soon no longer belong to the Long family, so he wanted to destroy it.
Without hesitation, he attacked the bed.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the bed shattered into pieces.
"Huh? What is this?"
Suddenly, Long Haidong discovered something among the rubble of the bed—a clear, sparkling stone.
"This is a soul tablet…"
Soon, the clear, sparkling stone appeared in Long Haichuan’s hands.
A soul tablet is an item that records information, capable of storing techniques, text, and even voice recordings.
"Could this be the ancestor’s technique?"
Long Haichuan felt a surge of excitement and pressed the soul tablet against his forehead.
Moments later, his expression changed.
"This… this… how could such a thing exist… Immortal spirit root, oh my!"
After reading the soul tablet, Long Haichuan was completely stunned.
Half an hour later, Long Haichuan exited the cave.
He had almost destroyed the entire cave but still had not found any clues about his ancestor’s death.
However, he discovered another shocking piece of news, one that he could only keep to himself, afraid to reveal it to anyone.
Time flew by quickly, and six months passed.
Although the Long family’s ancestor had died, it was reasonable to expect that the most talented descendants of the Long family would receive strong support.
However, the most talented Long Haichuan was not nurtured by the Immortal Gate; instead, Long Haidong, who was less talented than him, was taken as a direct disciple by the Elder.
The main reason Long Haichuan was not cultivated was that he did not believe in the ancestor’s death and attempted a secret investigation.
His secret investigation naturally could not escape the notice of the sect elders, so it was only natural that he was not chosen.
"Long Haichuan."
Six months later, someone knocked on Long Haichuan’s door.
"Who are you?"
Long Haichuan looked curiously at the young man in front of him.
"Don’t worry about who I am. I have some news to tell you," the young man said to Long Haichuan.
"What news?" Long Haichuan asked with a frown.
"Let’s go to your cave. This news is very important for you," the young man said to Long Haichuan.
After hearing the young man’s words, Long Haichuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Come in."
Soon, the two arrived at Long Haichuan’s cave.
"What do you want to tell me? Go ahead," Long Haichuan asked the young man.
"Don’t rush. I will set up a barrier to prevent anyone from overhearing our conversation," the young man replied to Long Haichuan.
Before long, a barrier was established, perfectly surrounding the two.
"Speak," Long Haichuan said lightly.
Hearing Long Haichuan’s words, the young man thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then said, "A while ago, I discovered that you were being watched by the Immortal Gate, which is why I didn’t dare to approach you.
Now I see that the Immortal Gate seems to no longer be monitoring you, so I dared to come."
"The news I want to tell you is that your ancestor was not killed by the beast tribe."
"What? How do you know? What do you know?" Long Haichuan immediately became unsettled upon hearing the young man’s words.
"Although I don’t know exactly how your ancestor died, I can conclude that your ancestor was definitely not killed by the flying beast tribe."
"How can you conclude that?" Long Haichuan asked.
"Because I know how your cousin died; he was killed by He Feng of the He family. Then your cousin’s father returned home with your cousin’s body."
After a pause, the young man continued, "As for what happened afterward, I don’t know."
"Are you really telling the truth?" Long Haichuan stared intently at the young man before him.
"I’m telling the truth; I saw it with my own eyes! If you don’t believe me, you can go verify it with He Feng, who killed your cousin, but I advise against it because that could endanger your life," the young man said lightly.
"Why are you telling me this news?" Long Haichuan asked the young man.
"Well, I naturally disapprove of…"
