Chapter 539 - 537: The Grand Event Once Every Twenty Years—The “Heaven” of Mist Heaven Hall Is the Celestial Realm’s Heaven!
However, facing the angry shout from the Cheng Family Patriarch, the guarding disciple could only put on a mournful face and raised a fragment.
The Cheng Family Patriarch glanced towards the fragment, and his expression changed instantly.
That was clearly a soul token fragment...
"Damn it! Wasn’t it said that the opponent was just around the Innate Middle Stage? Why did such changes occur?!"
The Cheng Family Patriarch gritted his teeth and said.
In the Northern Territory, an Innate expert is extremely precious.
Now, with such a loss, it is a significant blow to the Cheng Family as well.
Soon enough, the Cheng Family Patriarch thought of another person, now even the Second Elder has fallen... What about Cheng Yun?!
Even though Cheng Yun is a direct lineage of the Cheng Family, his strength is inadequate. Producing a soul token requires cutting off part of his spiritual sense to store in the soul token, which is highly detrimental to someone with low strength.
Hence, Cheng Yun doesn’t have a soul token.
But the Cheng Family Patriarch can mostly guess; now even the Second Elder is gone, how could Cheng Yun, whose strength is merely in the Postnatal Realm and artificially boosted, escape?
With a flickering gaze, the Cheng Family Patriarch contemplated whether to invite the ancestor of the clan.
At that moment, an elderly figure unexpectedly walked in from outside.
"What matter has you so flustered?"
Upon seeing this person, the Cheng Family Patriarch immediately stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Ancestor!"
The other elders also quickly stood up and bent low.
This elderly figure with grey hair who walked in is the ancestor of the Cheng Family, who broke through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm a year ago, an absolute core figure.
"Ancestor, just now, the Second Elder... has fallen!"
The Cheng Family Ancestor frowned deeply: "What exactly happened? Did enemies come for revenge, or what?"
Right away, the Cheng Family Patriarch dared not hide anything and quickly explained the situation.
"Ancestor, should we avenge the Second Elder? After all, losing an Innate expert without reason is a huge loss to our Cheng Family."
Knowing that this moment, merely saying avenging his son would not be a substantial reason, the Cheng Family Patriarch directly focused the target on the Second Elder.
Unexpectedly, after listening, the Cheng Family Ancestor was silent for a moment, then...
Slap!
The Cheng Family Patriarch’s face suddenly had a close encounter with the ancestor’s palm, the sound loud.
The other clan elders present in the hall were instantly stupefied, not knowing what had just happened.
Why did it suddenly turn out like this?!
"Ancestor, this is..." The Cheng Family Patriarch was also dazed for a moment, staring in disbelief at the ancestor.
"Foolish! Do you not know what crucial moment this is now? It’s the most dangerous time in the Northern Territory in the last twenty years!"
The Cheng Family Ancestor’s old face trembled, furious: "Do you not realize you might have offended a person of great importance that our Cheng Family cannot afford to provoke?!"
"A person of great importance?" The Cheng Family Patriarch said, puzzled: "But the guards reported that it was just a young woman in green riding a Two-Horned Spirit Beast, looking very young."
"Ancestor, so young, when has the Northern Territory ever had such an important figure?" Thinking about it, the Cheng Family Patriarch said, "If that person were a male, he could still have some connection with Senior Chen Beixuan, who hasn’t appeared in the Northern Territory for a long time, but it’s a woman..."
Therefore, the Cheng Family Patriarch doesn’t believe the woman could be very scary.
"Dim-witted! Do you know what time it is? I already told you, a twenty-year occurrence! Have you forgotten the Mist Heaven Hall?" The Cheng Family Ancestor frowned and said.
"The ’mist’ in Mist Heaven Hall represents the ’heaven’ of Celestial Realm! Once opened, even legendary Earth Realm or Celestial Realm Grandmasters will appear, rushing to the Northern Territory."
"Not to mention other Mortal Realm figures and Grandmasters like me; this is the grandest event in the Northern Territory in the last twenty years; even secluded figures can emerge, and you dare judge by appearance?"
Mist Heaven Hall...
Upon hearing these three words, many elders in the hall shuddered, suddenly remembering that it is indeed nearing the twenty-year mark.
Last time, when a mysterious Mist Heaven Hall appeared in the Northern Territory, there were indeed Peak of Celestial Realm experts that came from other regions.
Even the mysterious sea forces had formidable experts crossing over.
During that period, it was when the usually barren Northern Territory saw the most experts.
Due to the uncertainty of where the Mist Heaven Hall might appear, almost every city had the presence of outer region experts.
"Ancestor, are you suggesting that the woman could be a powerful cultivator from the outer regions?!"
The Cheng Family Patriarch felt that his legs were nearly shaking.
To be able to come from so far, crossing mountains and rivers, even Innate Realm would take at least a month, exhausting themselves to the bone, in order to cross just one region.
And in previous Mist Heaven Hall openings, those who came at the bottom were these Innate Realm cultivators...
From hearing the guards’ description alone, the Cheng Family Patriarch could sense a relaxed aura from the woman, leisurely riding a spirit beast...
If her mindset is that calm, she certainly cannot be a bottom-tier Innate realm cannon fodder.
Thus, excluding the Innate realm, the woman’s lowest realm would at least be a Grandmaster...
Our own ancestor is only at Grandmaster First Layer, having just been promoted in the past two years.
Upon thinking of this, the Cheng Family Patriarch’s face turned pale: "Thank you, Ancestor, for the guidance! Indeed, I was too careless in my thinking!"
...
Outside the city, the masked woman in green stood under a tree waiting for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, unable to wait for any elder to come and avenge the younger ones.
A bit perplexed.
"Huh, where are they, lost their way?"
Or perhaps the other side suddenly thought clearly and decided not to seek revenge?
"If that’s the case, I have no time to waste with them here; I have important tasks to do." Retracting her gaze, the woman in green skillfully mounted the back of the Two-Horned Spirit Beast and softly said: "Little Ten, let’s go."
Upon hearing this, the majestic Two-Horned Spirit Beast, the Thunder Divine Grebe, lowly growled to signify understanding, carrying the woman in green away effortlessly.
The reason for the name is taken from splitting a "Leaf" character in half.
Until the woman in green left, the passing onlookers who originally wanted to enter the city still hadn’t shaken off their shock.
Just before, they had witnessed the almighty Cheng Family Elders, an Innate realm presence...
Surprisingly, they couldn’t withstand a single move from this seemingly frail woman and simply perished!
Naturally, the Cheng Family young master Cheng Yun also already went down to follow.
When the news of the Cheng Family Elder’s demise in Nanmu City spread to the small town near Thin Sand Mountain, Lu Ye and Jiang Qingge, present in the town, also heard about it.
"This Cheng Family is probably the family behind those mountain bandits." Jiang Qingge waited for a period on the mountain and found there wasn’t much movement, so she came down to the town.
Having heard some gossiping whispers, she learned that the Cheng Family was indeed the backer of the Thin Sand Mountain bandits.
But neither she nor Lu Ye took any action, so how did someone from the Cheng Family fall?
