Chapter 228: Middle Continent Princess (2) (2/2)

In fact, the person being buried this time affected their future rise and fall. Thus, the War G.o.d Temple couldn’t afford not to be cautious.

In their camp, all the elders of the War G.o.d Temple were sitting on the ground. All of them wore black robes and hats that had long curtains to completely hide their faces.

They formed a circle on the ground with an ancient coffin in the middle. The style of this coffin was not particularly special; it was as if it was just a burial of an ordinary disciple. This was most likely the War G.o.d Temple deliberately lowering its specialness in order to dispel any possible guesses from outsiders.

Chi Yun left after Li Qiye entered. Even as a Supreme Elder of the Nine Saint Demon Gate, he was not qualified to be present at this place.

Li Qiye arrived and quickly glanced at all the elders sitting on the ground. All of them were very mysterious, and they tried their best to suppress their own energy so that others could not detect their surging and howling strength.

“Truly low-profile.” Li Qiye looked at all the elders before his glance fell onto the ordinary coffin, and he said: “Give me a little bit of time to guess who the person in this coffin is. He’s claimed to be an ancestor of the War G.o.d Temple, but would an ancestor force all of you to be here at this place right now? The whole thing about burying the ancestor was just nonsense. With your War G.o.d Temple’s way of doing things, if I am not mistaken, the person in this coffin must either be the Divine Protector of your temple, or the old man from the Hidden Immortal Hall!”

The moment his words came out, all eyes suddenly fell on him. If people described glares to be as sharp as swords, then the glares of these old men would be even more terrifying than divine swords.

“It seems that I was right, there is more than just one ancestor of your temple here! Your temple truly has many good items for life prolongment; many old men that should be rolling in their graves are still able to hold on to their time!” Li Qiye leisurely smiled as he stated.

If Chi Yun was here, he would be broken from fear due to Li Qiye’s words. The War G.o.d Temple’s ancestors were all invincible existences, and there was more than one. They had lived through countless moons, and there were some ancestors that had lived in an extremely ancient era who were still alive under the ground to this very day! Who wouldn’t be respectful to characters of this caliber? However, Li Qiye did not put them in his sight.

“The younger generation will surpa.s.s us in time!” At this moment, a voice finally rang out from the coffin. It was an ancient and archaic voice; it sounded as if it came from the past all the way to the present. [1. This phrase is a common statement about praising the young. The younger generation will always improve]

This ancient voice continued on: “With such ability, there is nowhere in this world where you cannot go. Lun Ri truly knows how to judge people. His trust in you was not without reason.”

“So it is the old man from the Hidden Immortal Hall.” Hearing this voice, Li Qiye immediately knew who it was. Besides the people present, there were no contemporary outsiders who knew more about the War G.o.d Temple than him.

Li Qiye leisurely added: “You are truly alive. Even Old Man Mu could not pa.s.s the heartlessness of time, yet you are able to. I have to admit that your will is as hard as steel!”

At this point, the gazes of the elders on the ground became frightening. The ones sitting here to guard this coffin were the reclusive ancestors from the War G.o.d Temple. Some of them didn’t even mind leaving their Era Blood Stones just to come here in order to send away this coffin!

Since Li Qiye immediately revealed their secret, if it was necessary, they would not hesitate to kill him. In the end, the Hidden Immortal Hall was extremely important to the War G.o.d Temple. This was also one of the reasons why they could stand strong for millions of years!

“Don’t even think about killing me to hide the secret.” Li Qiye was still calm as he spoke: “I know that in order to bring the coffin here, there are some near-dead people climbing out from their graves. However, be smart and do not provoke me! Otherwise, I will think about turning your War G.o.d Temple over, even if the old man from the Hidden Immortal Hall is still alive!”

At this time, a black-robed old man stood up. To him, Li Qiye already knew too much.

“Don’t be impulsive.” The ancient voice from the coffin appeared again. After having heard the command, the standing old man — at this time — silently sat back down without saying a word from start to finish.

“This is more like it.” Li Qiye let out a smile and continued on: “Regarding this old man that is capable of holding on since the era of Old Man Mu till now, he has eaten much more salt than you all have eaten meals!” [2. This is actually quite rare. I’ve never seen this phrase in other novels. I kept it in because it is a flavorful part of Li Qiye. What this is saying is that the old man has lived for so long and experienced countless hards.h.i.+ps (salt). This old man knows how to be calm and careful even under provocation, unlike the younger ancestors]

The old men from the War G.o.d Temple became speechless. This little demon was so unbridled; he was so rampantly arrogant to the point of driving them into insanity. One has to know that War G.o.d Mu was one of their most powerful ancestors! Yet this little demon is actually calling him an old man.

“Legend has it that the Tetra-War Bronze Chariot was a supreme throne. I once heard a legend that stated that during the Desolace Expansion Era, when the Tetra-War Bronze Chariot arrived, even the G.o.ds retreated while the Immortal Emperors came to offer their greetings…” The ancient voice from the wooden coffin resounded.

Li Qiye coldly interrupted him and dryly said: “Don’t try to test me. Even if the War G.o.d Temple’s power is great, there are some taboos better left unexplored in this world!”

The voice in the coffin also stopped after hearing Li Qiye words. He was wondering and perhaps even checking his memories.
