Chapter 1767: Grand Elders

The gate slowly opened . An ancient air poured out, but unexpectedly, four statue-like elders were blocking the path inside .

The four elders’ robes were tattered and broken . If their eyes weren’t open, they might really be taken for statues because there wasn’t the slightest aura of life on their bodies .

“Grand Elders!” Qu Jianying let out a startled cry upon seeing those four ancient figures .

Upon seeing them, Qu Jianying’s expression sank . Killing intent appeared in her eyes . “For this kind of minor matter, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds actually disturbed the four Grand Elders?! Are your heads full of c.r.a.p?!”

“Alliance head, you refused to listen to our advice . You were so stubborn that nothing we did helped . Hence, we could only ask the four Grand Elders to make a decision,” said one of the elders indifferently .

“f.u.c.k off! Do you realize what disturbing the four Grand Elders signifies?!” Qi Jianying was shuddering from rage . She had an urge to kill these nine right now .

“Jianying, even after so many years, you still have this temper . ” One of the four Grand Elders opened his mouth . His voice was raspy and weak as if he might collapse at any time .

“Granduncle-master, they…” Qu Jianying pointed at the nine elders, her eyes reddening slightly .

“Child, you’re still the same as back then, still dealing things with your emotions . You have to be calm when you encounter things because you’re the one in charge . If you can’t even control your own emotions, how can you control the family?” rebuked the Grand Elder, but his voice was pampering . Everyone could tell that this Grand Elder treated Qu Jianying as his own child .

“But you were startled awake . Your longevity…” Qu Jianying’s expression sank again .

These four Grand Elders were the ones with the greatest seniority in the entire Martial Heaven Alliance . They were incredibly powerful Netherpa.s.sage experts, but even Netherpa.s.sage experts were still cultivators of the mortal world . Their longevity was still limited .

In order to extend their own longevity, the four of them had entered a hibernation state . The four of them were a secret of the Martial Heaven Alliance and also their strongest trump card .

Being woken cost them their longevity, which was no minor matter considering that their life energy was about to run out .

For this, the nine elders had startled the four Grand Elders . They hadn’t accomplished anything with this, while it came with such a terrible cost . Qu Jianying wished to kill the nine of them right now .

“It’s fine, everyone dies . Our lives have already been given to the Martial Heaven Alliance . Child, don’t feel bad . Furthermore, we’re quite excited to be woken at this time . The great era has descended, and we get to see it,” comforted the Grand Elder .

Hearing that, Qu Jianying fell quiet . The four Grand Elder’s gazes concentrated on Long Chen .

“You have the aura of the old wine ghost on you,” exclaimed one of them .

When that Grand Elder said the old wine ghost, Long Chen suddenly thought of the Wine G.o.d Palace’s High Priest .

“Correct, it is definitely the old wine ghost’s aura . It seems he has advanced from his past level . ” One of the other Grand Elders nodded .

“Are the four of you talking about the Wine G.o.d Palace’s High Priest?” asked Long Chen .

“Arrogant! How dare you speak to the Grand Elders!”

Pow!

“f.u.c.k off!”

Long Chen directly slapped the elder that had interjected . Caught off guard, that elder’s teeth went flying .

If Long Chen hadn’t held back, that slap would have slain the elder . These nine fellows were too idiotic .

“Little fellow, this move of yours is pretty good . ”

The four Grand Elders’ eyes lit up when they saw the slap . Rather than scolding him, they actually praised him .

“You overpraise me . ” Long Chen cupped his fists toward them .

The other elders’ expressions completely changed . Originally, they had been about to shout at Long Chen for suddenly attacking, but seeing the Grand Elders acting like this, they swallowed their cursing .

Qu Jianying’s expression improved after that slap as though she had slapped them herself . It was somewhat satisfying .

However, seeing Long Chen treating the Grand Elders so nonchalantly, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . Cupping fists to someone was generally for people in the same seniority level .

One of these Grand Elders was her own granduncle-master . He was two generations above her .

The other three were even older, so old that she didn’t even know how old . However, Long Chen was actually treating them like they were brothers, leaving Qu Jianying speechless .
