Chapter 2131: Rebirth Of An Ancestor (2/2)

They were stammering, too afraid to even lift their head and look at him.

He waved his sleeve and said: “Leave, I’m a bit tired and need to rest.”

These guys were completely obedient and bowed their head again, not daring to interject before quietly leaving in fear.

Li Qiye meditated because too many things have popped up in his head - memories of Insane Ancestor and more information about Immortal Demon Grotto and even Samsara Wild Ancestor.

When he defeated Samsara, he took his everything. Thus, hidden knowledge of Samsara also surfaced after coming here.

From this ma.s.sive trove of intelligence, Li Qiye had a good understanding of Three Immortals and the current situation here.

Meanwhile, Zhu Qi and the elders met again in another room for a discussion.

They didn’t have a good plan to deal with this. An ancestor with a shocking ident.i.ty appeared out of nowhere so the inexperienced group was lost.

“We, we should really report this to Insane Court.” One elder suggested: “This is a huge matter, if we don’t report it, we won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens later.”

The other elders agreed. They had no excuses not reporting the resurrection of an ancestor from the court.

“Well, this is also a huge opportunity for our sect.” A different elder became excited: “We’re the ones who found him, so we are at the top of the contribution list, maybe this could even be our chance to rise.”

The rest of the group became excited. Their sect had fallen beyond repair, only an old ancestor coming back to life could solve this.

“But what if, just what if, he is a fake?” A relatively cautious elder quietly said.

The rest felt that someone had poured cold water over their head; their excitement extinguished right away.

The group became skeptical. Of course, they wanted Li Qiye to be the real thing, but what if he wasn’t?

“Maybe we can try to find out?” One elder began to plan.

“How? How do we figure out if he’s real or fake? If it’s the former, he’ll be angry if he knows what we’re up to. Just one finger of his alone would destroy our whole sect.” Zhu Qi said.

The elders became quiet because they had no method of verification. Zhu Qi was right; they couldn’t afford to provoke the real thing.

“We have to ask Ancestor Yang then.” An elder came up with this.

“No, we can’t. Ancestor Yang is our only backing, the only person who could speak for us at the court. If we were to involve him and fail, we’ll lose everything.” Another elder said.

“Then you have other ideas? Plus, you think the court will believe just us if we tell them we found an ancestor coming back to life? If Ancestor Yang stepped up, he could at least talk to the court. He’s much more experienced too, maybe he can tell if the guy is real or not.”

They deliberated for a while before Zhu Qi made up his mind: “Alright, go invite the ancestor, at least there’s hope in this.”

An elder was sent to personally invite Ancestor Yang afterward.
