On the seat was a dried-up corpse, his thin hands hidden in huge, expensive clothes. On his wrinkled face, a pair of empty eyes were staring straight at Little You Yun and Little Luo Xue.
He gently took Little You Yun from Little Luo Xueās arms, treating her as though she was a precious pearl.
You Qiong stared in disbelief at the dried corpse who was the Grand Elder. His eyes were as big as saucers.
He recalled that before he had left the Ancient You Clan, the Grand Elder had still looked like a normal person.
What exactly was going on?
āItās been a long time, You Qiong.ā The Grand Elder lifted his head. He moved slowly, pulling at his dried-up skin which seemed like it was going to tear at any moment.
You Qiongās legs jerked as he dropped to the floor, cold sweat covering his body.
There was only one person in the Ancient You Clan who could make him feel this oppressed.
āGreeā¦ greetingsā¦ Clan Masterā¦ā
āClan Master?ā The Grand Elder shook his head and continued, āIāve long handed over the clan to the next generation. It has been ten thousand years since Iāve seen you. You look just as you did before, but Iāveā¦ become like thisā¦ā
His eyes seemed to move over to Ye Qingtang and Ning Luo.
His parched lips started moving.
āYou Qiong, youāve brought me a great present.ā
You Qiong was brought back to his senses. The Grand Elder suddenly raised his hands and a gust of black wind flew towards Ye Qingtang. She leaped up as a sword appeared in her hand and she cut the black wind in half.
Little Luo Xue frowned, not understanding why the Grand Elder was attacking āElder Moā.
But Ye Qingtang was clear that her disguise would not fool the Ancient You Clan Patriarch.
āWhat a familiar aura. Iāve felt it on an old friend before who has vanished now. Butā¦ youāre a little different from him.ā The Grand Elder lifted his head as he looked at her like she was an interesting specimen.
āWhatās your purpose for pretending to be a member of the Ancient You Clan? Who are you?ā
The Buddha sculptures on the four pillars started shifting with his words.
In the next second, they came to life. They dropped to the floor in an instant and started attacking Ye Qingtang with their Dharma treasures held high.
āI donāt care who you are. Anyone who disturbs my rest has to dieā¦ā The Grand Elderās hoarse voice was cold and indifferent, as though they were mere ants standing in front of him.
With that, the buddhas started attacking Ye Qingtang. Her eyes narrowed as black flames appeared on her sword.
Boom! A thunderous sound exploded across the room as she swung her sword. The black flames fell from the sky all over the buddhas but it didnāt seem to hurt them at all.
āBe careful. These buddhas are all above the Holy Venerate realm.ā Sensing that something was wrong, Ning Luo quickly flew over to her to aid in battle.
These buddhas were all above the Holy Venerate level!
And how powerful was the Grand Elder that he could control these statues like they were his playthings?
