Chapter 79: Zi Shan Hou (1) (1/2)

Finally, Elder Sun sighed softly and said: “The sect does not have an Immortal Emperor True Treasure, and it also does not have an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure.”

“Not even one?” Even though Li Qiye was mentally prepared for this, but hearing that there was not even one made him a bit frustrated. The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was of Immortal Emperor lineage! Right now, not even one Life Treasure could be found, he could not believe this!

Gu Tieshou softly continued: “It is said that the Patriarch had left behind three Life Treasures and his fate protecting True Treasure; however, at the moment I took this seat, these items were no longer here. At the very least, even during the last sect master’s period, these items were no longer inside the sect.”

Li Qiye asked: “Lost or stolen?”

Immortal Emperor Life Treasures were one thing, but the fate protecting treasure of Min Ren, also a True Treasure, was too important to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect!

“This… I’m not too clear regarding this matter.” Gu Tieshou hesitatingly smiled and said: “The Immortal Emperor True Treasure... I am not clear about the exact details. I’m afraid even the previous sect master didn’t know. That year, I heard the martial uncle’s discussion. One uncle said that the True Treasure flew away a long time ago. Another uncle said that during the moment our ancestor, Mu Shaodi, was competing for the Heaven’s Will with Immortal Emperor Ta Kong, he lost our True Treasure in a heaven frightening battle… I’m afraid, the last ten generations of our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect has not seen an Immortal Emperor True Treasure.”

Li Qiye asked: “What about the three Life Treasures?”

Gu Tieshou contemplated for a moment and then answered: “This, I cannot answer either.”

Here, he glanced at the other four elders, and he continued: “I heard that there was one Life Treasure that could have been taken by ancestor Liu to the ground, and it was buried along with him. Whether this is the truth or not, I do not know.”

Elder Sun explained to Li Qiye: “Ancestor Liu was our sect’s first bulwark; in terms of seniority, he would be the grand disciple of Ancestor Mu. I heard that the battle thirty thousand years ago, against the Heavenly G.o.d Sect, was led by him. After our defeat and retreat back to our ancestral ground, Ancestor Liu no longer showed his face. There were many rumors about him. Some seniors said that he died in the battle, and some said that he came back wounded and met his origin within the sect.” [1]

Liu San Jian was rumored to be the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s greatest genius after Mu Shaodi; however, unfortunately, he was not able to protect the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect in the end, causing the collapse of the old kingdom!

At this point, Elder Qian gravely added: “The other Life Treasures could have possibly fallen into the hands of the Heavenly G.o.d Sect.”

“Into the hands of the Heavenly G.o.d Sect?” Having heard this, Li Qiye’s eyes became serious. This was an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure; this type of item falling into the hands of the Heavenly G.o.d Sect was not a good thing for the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.

Gu Tieshou dejectedly sighed and said: “This is the thing we are worried about the most. There is no way to verify this matter, but it is almost absolute that this Life Treasure is in the hands of the Heavenly G.o.d Sect. In the last battle, our sect lost countless Royal n.o.bles, Enlightened Beings, and Ancient Saints. In order to protect the kingdom, I heard our ancestors summoned the Immortal Emperor Life Treasure to face the Heavenly G.o.d Sect. Afterward, we lost the fight completely, and the entire kingdom fell. Under such chaotic circ.u.mstances, the Life Treasure’s whereabouts are unknown.”

Elder Zhou worriedly said: “I worry that the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom would bring this Immortal Emperor Life Treasure to attack our sect.”

If the Heavenly G.o.d Sect had a character powerful enough to carry the Life Treasure to attack the sect, then even with the Zither Pavilion, it wouldn’t be able to withstand rounds after rounds of the Life Treasure’s attacks.

Hearing Elder Zhou words, Gu Tieshou’s group lost their colors. This was indeed an extremely dangerous matter, they clearly knew the power of an Immortal Emperor Life Treasure.

“Let them come. It's time to see how the Immortal Emperor Life Treasure is.” At this point, Li Qiye pleasantly bloomed a smile and said: “When the flood is coming, the dam will block. When the troops are coming, the generals will hold! Our plan does not change. Three days later, behead Dong Shenglong and Lie Zhan Hou.”

With a deep voice, Gu Tieshou said: “We’ll do it like that. This is the first battle for our Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect’s revival, and also the beginning our revival.” He was finally determined.

The elders and protectors present all hoped to revive the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect and regain the glory of their ancestors, especially Gu Tieshou. He grew up in the sect and considered it as his home. The moment he was leading the sect, how could he not hope for it to become more powerful? However, he could only lament his limited apt.i.tude and lack of power to revive the sect.

Currently, with Li Qiye’s miracle appearance accompanied with the protection of the Patriarch, Gu Tieshou saw a chance for the sect to come back.

The second day, the sect announced Cao Xiong’s conspiracy with outsiders, the betrayal of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, and also his execution! This news had been released, and the entire Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect was in an uproar. The sect disciples couldn’t help but spit on Cao Xiong’s selfishness. A calamity was befalling the sect, so they should have been working together. Cao Xiong’s actions were reviled by the disciples.

As for the matter of Li Qiye being the chosen person for the resurgence, the sect did not announce it. Only the elders and protectors had the right to know, even sectional leaders were left unaware.

At the same time, the sect the next day sent the news of the public execution of Dong Shenglong and Lie Zhan Hou to all of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. This time, the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect especially chose an unprecedented bold action like never before. At the time of the execution, the sect had invited many sects from the kingdom to attend.
