352 Hu Clan’s Secre (1/2)

After Hu Qiongqi and Hu Guiyuan came back to the Hu Clan that day, they immediately went to the ancestral shrine. After searching for a while, they finally found that distinctive flame pattern inside. However, once they knew the answer, both of them were dumbfounded.

That day, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan called for a secret meeting. This meeting only consisted of six participants, and for the sake of secrecy, the venue was the heavily guarded Hu Clan's secret chamber.

”What? The Sacred Flame Insignia! How could that be possible?” In the secret chamber, an old man with a white beard and white hair looked at Hu Guiyuan and Hu Qiongqi in disbelief. The face that was normally expressionless was no longer calm, and all his usual self-control was gone at this moment.

He was Hu Guiyuan's grandfather, Hu Tianfeng, the most senior person in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan with Cultivation in the later stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm. He could be said to be the number one expert in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan. Because of his existence, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan was able to be among the top eight big ancient martial arts aristocratic families.

”Great grandfather, it's absolutely true. I have definitely seen it correctly,” Hu Qiongqi said with great certainty. There were indeed seven masses surrounding Mo Wen that day, which looked like the flames in the Sacred Flame Insignia. It was said that there were seven pieces of the Ming Cult's sacred item, the Sacred Flame Insignia. It was impossible that he had seen wrongly, and his father, Hu Guiyuan, couldn't have seen wrongly with him.

”It was actually the Sacred Flame Insignia!” In the secret chamber, the old man in a blue robe gasped in shock. His eyes were dull, and he couldn't recover for a while. That was a legendary sacred item. Once the Sacred Flame Insignia appeared, it would command everyone, and nobody would dare to disobey. It now appeared vividly.

Among the six people who were present, other than Hu Guiyuan and Hu Qiongqi, the other four people were the only four experts in the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan who were in the Embryonic Breathing realm. They had a great deal of seniority in the clan and were in seclusion most of the time, so the Hu Clan's juniors and grandchildren rarely saw them. This time, they all had come out of seclusion after hearing such shocking secret news.

Hu Tianfeng's countenance was somber. He glanced at Hu Qiongqi and asked, ”Is there anything special about the martial arts that the youngster practices?” The appearance of the Sacred Flame Insignia, if known to the outside world, would have a tremendous impact, which would be enough to cause an earthquake in the ancient martial arts world. Those influences of the Ming Cult especially wouldn't be able to sit back and do nothing.

”The martial art he practiced was very strange. It was cold and hot intermittently. I guess he was practicing two kinds of martial arts in which one belonged to the cold attribute while the other had a hot attribute. However, both martial arts were complex, especially the martial art with the hot attribute. Once he used it, he changed into a golden man as if he were cast from metal that was almost impenetrable to any weapons,” Hu Qiongqi recalled. He didn't exchange blows with Mo Wen, but he was able to make some discoveries through his observations. That weird golden body could resist the Jiang Clan's Patriarch's Sword Qi and remain unharmed. Even metal was not that hard.

”Golden man… impenetrable to any weapons…” Hu Tianfeng furrowed his brows as he was deep in thought and contemplated for a while. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he remarked in shock, ”Could it be the Nine Yang Divine Technique? According to the legend, the person who practices the Nine Yang Divine Technique can use the indestructible body of Vajrapani. The whole body will be impenetrable to any weapons and difficult to damage with sharp weapons or armed warriors.”

”The Nine Yang Divine Technique!”

Everyone, including Hu Qiongqi, gasped in shock. They knew the Ming Cult very well, and at the same time knew what the Nine Yang Divine Technique implied. An exceptional divine technique that had disappeared for hundreds of years had actually reappeared and was accompanied by the appearance of the Sacred Flame Insignia.

”That's… possible?” Hu Qiongqi swallowed with difficulty.

”If that thing is really the Sacred Flame Insignia, then it is very reasonable for the Nine Yang Divine Technique to reappear. Moreover, the ancient martial arts world has always been skeptical, as the Ming Cult had secretly retained the complete heritage, even though the cult had been destroyed. After the disaster, the Sacred Flame Insignia, Nine Yin Divine Technique, and many of the Ming Cult's treasures had vanished without a trace and had not been in anyone's hands,” Hu Tianfeng explained stoically.

The Ming Cult's destruction had always been studied by many sects in the ancient martial arts world, or rather until now, many of the ancient martial arts influences were still casting their covetous eyes on the Ming Cult's remnant treasures. When the Gong Clan's tragedy happened, it had caused quite a stir in the entire ancient martial arts world, as it involved the Ming Cult's treasures.

”Great grandfather means that Mo Wen possibly has the Ming Cult's heritage?” Hu Qiongqi asked.

Hu Tianfeng nodded as he spoke. ”If he is practicing the Nine Yang Divine Technique and has the Sacred Flame Insignia in his hands, he will definitely have the Ming Cult's heritage.” The Sacred Flame Insignia and the Nine Yang Divine Technique had been missing for hundreds of years. Now that they had appeared simultaneously, there was only one explanation, and that was that someone had received the Ming Cult's heritage, and the rightful heir of the Ming Cult had appeared.

”Old Clan Elder…”

Hu Guiyuan and the other elders of the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan gasped in surprise as they looked at Hu Tianfeng with fervent eyes. The Ming Cult's heritage... how shocking that was! An ancient cult with 1,000 years of rich heritage was beyond imagination.

Hu Tianfeng looked at the clan members before asking indifferently, ”Your interest is aroused?”

One of the clan elders said with fervent eyes, ”Old Clan Elder, if the Ming Cult's heritage were to be in our hands, the Ghost Physicians Hu Clan would definitely stun the ancient martial arts world and become the biggest influence.” He couldn't wait to seize the Sacred Flame Insignia and Nine Yang Divine Technique immediately and discover the whereabouts of the Ming Cult's heritage.
