Chapter 5 - The Secret of the Revival of the Great Emperor
There were many rules in the Haoran Sect, and the older the sect the more rules they had. This was also one of the foundations of a sect, and was absolutely not something a nouveau riche could compare with.
Seeing Chu Qianye's miserable appearance, one of the External Elder frowned and asked: ”Chu Qianye, did you encounter the bullying of an outsider?”
His name was Luo Changting, and he was in charge of the outer sect disciples. Naturally, he was not in charge of the outer sect disciples, but to guard the outer sect against any internal conflicts or other bullying.
Luo Changting was knowledgeable, and could practically call out the names of every single disciple in the Haoran Sect. When he saw Chu Qianye's miserable state, the first thought that came to his mind was that his own child had been bullied.
Chu Qianye bowed and replied: ”Reporting to Elder Luo, disciple was hit by a fierce storm yesterday, and coincidentally discovered that there was a change in the Emperor Jiuyu's imperial tomb, and was about to rush back to report it to my sect.”
After hearing Chu Qianye say that he had seen a change in the Emperor Tomb, Luo Changting looked at the other External Elder and said, ”Thank you, Elder.
The expressionless Elder Xie asked, ”Just what did you see?”
Chu Qianye still looked at Elder Luo Changting and said: ”When this disciple went home from this visit, I passed by the imperial tomb on the way back and discovered that the mist above it had vaguely formed into a human shape. When this disciple was young, I often heard legends about the imperial tomb, so my curiosity flared up and I went up to take a look.
Luo Changting and the others were in an uproar, did the Emperor Jiuyu revive? How could this Emperor who had died for thousands of years revive?
Luo Changting said with a slightly trembling voice, ”Are you sure?”
Chu Qianye said: ”This disciple did not dare to raise his head to look. At that time, I only heard what Emperor Jiuyu was shouting about.
Luo Changting flashed in front of Chu Qianye, covered Chu Qianye's mouth and said: ”Don't say it, I'll bring you back to the Haoran Sect right now.”
It was obvious that Chu Qianye knew a huge secret, but Luo Changting acted on his own accord and wanted to bring Chu Qianye back.
Luo Changting saw through Elder Xie's dissatisfaction, so he said politely: ”If Chu Qianye truly knows some secret, then you will naturally be the one to contribute this recommendation.”
Elder Xie revealed a faint smile and said: ”No matter what secret this disciple knows, the imperial tomb trip will continue. I will lead the other disciples to continue forward and establish a temporary camp at the imperial tomb. This disciple will trouble Elder Luo. ”
Luo Changting cupped his hands in thanks, then grabbed Chu Qianye and flew in the direction of the Haoran Sect. Luo Changting's speed was far faster than Chu Qianye's;
Chu Qianye had only spoken half a sentence, yet Luo Changting had already associated with him a legendary secret, and this secret could not be leaked out. Thus, he had to personally bring Chu Qianye back.
Elder Luo Changting, who had just left half a day ago, returned with a small disciple dressed in shabby clothes. The little disciple who was leading the way immediately realized that something huge could have happened and did not stop him in the slightest, allowing Luo Changting to fly in with him.
Luo Changting was the External Elder, which was in fact an honorary title. The Haoran Sect had nine halls, and the hall master was the one who held the most authority, the External Elder was just an empty title, but still had the right to directly ask for the Sect Leader's help.
Chu Qianye had yet to truly enter the Haoran Sect and had been in the outer sect for the past ten years. If he could not reach Foundation Establishment within ten years, he did not have the qualifications to enter the Haoran Sect.
Luo Changting brought Chu Qianye directly to the front of the sect leader's cave, and anxiously said to the boy outside: ”External Elder Luo Changting has a matter to discuss with the sect leader.”
Before the boy could reply, the door to the abode opened.
Luo Changting was overjoyed, he shot Chu Qianye a glance, and then said sound transmission: ”When meeting the Sect Leader, do not be flustered, and do not lie, you must definitely speak the truth, and tell him everything that happened.”
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged Daoist, but those who truly understood Tie Liuqing would definitely not think that he was a brilliant overlord. Since he had taken control of the Haoran Sect, the Haoran Sect had flourished with vigor, and his future was limitless.
Luo Changting bowed, causing Chu Qianye to quickly kneel on the ground. Tie Liuqing waved his hand for Luo Changting to sit, and then asked kindly: ”You and Elder Xie Chang Feng are going to explore the imperial tomb of the Emperor Jiuyu together, why are you returning along the way? Could it be because of this little disciple? ”
Luo Changting bowed from the stool, and said, ”Elder Xie and I met Chu Qianye midway. He had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and on the way back, he encountered me on his way to visit his family. He witnessed the miracle of the revival of the Emperor Jiuyu, and this disciple does not dare to pass it down to others, hence he did not ask about it. After breaking up with Elder Xie, I brought him back. Along the way, I did not say a single word to him. ”
Luo Changting was experienced, he revealed that he knew a bit of the secret, and because he knew that this secret was no small matter, he did not dare to ask, and only waited to see the Sect Leader first.
Tie Liuqing smiled and nodded. He looked at Chu Qianye and asked, ”Has Emperor Jiuyu been revived?”
