Chapter 99: Zhong Guowei (2/2)

Afterward, they both kowtowed at the same time and as soon as they finished, the door closed down and the ground started trembling.

”Seems like kowtowing is the answer,” Yang Wei mumbled softly as he stood up and waited for what's coming next.

”Heh, took you this long to kowtow and pay respect to me.”

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the room, alerting Yang Wei and Elder Jing as they looked around to search for the source of this voice.

”Hmph, with your puny cultivation base, detecting my position is near impossible.” The same voice echoed again.

”May I ask who this senior is?” Elder Jing stepped forward and cupped her fist as she spoke in a respectful tone.

Yang Wei cupped his fist as well to show his respect. 'This person could be similar to Senior Ling in terms of cultivation.'

Elder Jing remained still when the voice seemingly disappeared but her instinct is telling her that the person was still there.

A few moments later, the voice echoed again, ”Hmm, it took me a while to recall my name and I'm not even sure if that's the correct one. But you can call me Zhong Guowei.”

Elder Jing's body started shaking when she heard the name, Zhong Guowei.

'I-It can't be the same person right?' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as her face started to turn pale.

”Hoh, I didn't think someone would still remember the name, Zhong Guowei in this current era.” Zhong Guowei said softly.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei was confused about the name Zhong Guowei since he had zero knowledge of history in the cultivation world.

In addition, this person, Zhong Guowei has 'wei' in his name but the definition is vastly different from the 'wei' in Yang Wei.

Hence, Elder Jing did not misunderstand and would think that Yang Wei could be a descendant of Zhong Guowei.

”S-Senior Zhong Guowei is a peerless cultivator from the past that has decimated millions of demons that intruded our world and created a peaceful life for cultivators. Any cultivators would know about Senior Zhong Guowei.”

Elder Jing said slowly as she bowed slightly despite not being able to see him in person.

'D-Demons?' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly and was shocked to find out there are demons in this cultivation world that used to invade their current world.

However, he didn't dare to make any sound and allowed Elder Jing to continue to communicate with Zhong Guowei.

”A little lass like you actually knows a lot about this old man but those are all in the past. Anyway, since you have paid me respect by kowtowing to my stone tablet, I shall give you some advantage in the upcoming trial.”

Zhong Guowei's voice echoed the room and before Elder Jing could thank him for the generosity, they were suddenly transported away from the room.

Whoosh!

Yang Wei and Elder Jing reappeared in another area with a flatland in front of them.

”Ugh, it's this damn trial again. This is going to be a pain.” Elder Jing cursed loudly as she remembered this area very well.
