Divine Crow Peak (Part 2)

Chapter Twenty-Six: Divine Crow Peak (Part 2)

As Nan Huairen introduced Divine Crow Peak, Li Qiye couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing the story. The so-called Divine Crow Peak was merely named by a few of Immortal Emperor Mingren's generals in memory of this Shadow Crow.

The triangular ancient courtyard atop Divine Crow Peak wasn't large, but the entire courtyard was pitch black, as if cast from Mysterious Iron. It felt incredibly heavy. In fact, the disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect throughout the generations never knew what divine material this ancient courtyard was built from.

When Li Qiye and Nan Huairen stood before the triangular ancient courtyard, Li Qiye looked at the dark courtyard before him, feeling quite emotional. Countless years had passed, and this ancient courtyard still stood firm. Of course, the mystery of this ancient courtyard far surpassed the imagination of the world. People probably couldn't even imagine the origin of this triangular ancient courtyard!

Just as Li Qiye was lost in thought, his gaze was drawn to the massive shrine in front of the triangular ancient courtyard. In his memory, there was no such shrine when this triangular ancient courtyard was built.

Li Qiye's gaze fell upon the shrine. Inside, a person was seated in meditation – an incredibly burly man. At this moment, it was impossible to discern his age. His hair was disheveled, and his beard was extremely long, obscuring his face completely. This man sat in the shrine, and it was unclear how many years he hadn't moved, as wild grass had actually grown on him.

The man's eyes were closed. If not for his steady breathing, one might mistake him for a dead person!

This wasn't the most astonishing part. What was astonishing was that his hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains! Others might not recognize the material, but Li Qiye was knowledgeable. He knew these thick chains were forged from Black Spider Cold Iron, an extremely rare and precious divine metal!

What kind of person deserved to be locked here with Black Spider Cold Iron? Moreover, the man before him seemed willing to be chained here, not forced.

Seeing Li Qiye notice the man in the shrine, Nan Huairen quietly said to him, "He is the guardian of the triangular ancient courtyard. No one knows his specific origin."

"Why is he locked here?" Li Qiye asked, looking at the man seated in the shrine with his eyes still closed.

Nan Huairen shook his head and said, "No one knows. I'm afraid no one in our Washing Yan Ancient Sect knows. It's said he's been locked here for a very, very long time. Even my master doesn't know how long he's been here. Some say he's a disciple of the sect, a sinner who committed heinous crimes, and that's why he's been locked here."

Li Qiye nodded gently and said nothing further, walking into the triangular ancient courtyard with Nan Huairen.

After Li Qiye and Nan Huairen entered the triangular ancient courtyard, the man chained in the shrine suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, his gaze was terrifying to the extreme, as if his gaze could pierce through eternity and cleave chaos. With just a glance from him, even Marquis and True Human cultivators would tremble. However, after opening his eyes, he quickly closed them again, as if nothing had happened.

The triangular ancient courtyard didn't look large from the outside, but once you stepped inside, it revealed another world. The interior of the triangular ancient courtyard was vast, covering ten thousand mu. Three magnificent ancient buildings were combined and constructed into a triangular courtyard.

Undoubtedly, the triangular ancient courtyard covering ten thousand mu looked like a small courtyard from the outside because it contained another dimension. It had been refined with supreme divine abilities!

Upon entering the triangular ancient courtyard, Nan Huairen introduced it to Li Qiye, saying, "This side is the Scripture Repository, that side is the Weapon Repository, and the last side is the Treasure Repository." The three ancient buildings of the triangular ancient courtyard housed the Washing Yan Ancient Sect's secret manuals, precious weapons, and divine materials, respectively.

Nan Huairen added, "Each ancient building has a protector personally in charge. Any disciple borrowing secret manuals, precious weapons, or divine materials must have the protector personally review it." He then asked Li Qiye, "Senior Brother, which would you like to visit first?"

"Let's go to the Scripture Repository first," Li Qiye said casually after a brief glance at the three ancient buildings.

Nan Huairen and Li Qiye entered the Scripture Repository. Inside the Scripture Repository, eight powerful disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect were stationed, along with a protector personally in charge. After Li Qiye and Nan Huairen presented the Elder's token, the protector guarding the Scripture Repository allowed them entry.

Upon entering the Scripture Repository, one immediately felt as if they had entered a vast library. The entire Scripture Repository was incredibly expansive, stretching as far as the eye could see. Just looking at the sheer size of the Scripture Repository, one could imagine the glorious past the Washing Yan Ancient Sect once had!

As Li Qiye and Nan Huairen stepped into the Scripture Repository, they discovered they weren't the only ones there. Many other disciples were also in the Scripture Repository, selecting the cultivation techniques and secret manuals they were eligible for.

Nan Huairen was adept at navigating social circles and had excellent relationships within the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. He greeted all the fellow disciples he encountered.

Li Qiye, however, was different. In fact, Li Qiye hadn't been in the sect for long before he was disliked by the disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. Although the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had declined, it was still an Emperor Lineage Immortal Sect. For a mortal to be accepted into the Washing Yan Ancient Sect was already quite remarkable.

What was even more critical was that a good-for-nothing with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Meridians, and Mortal Fate had become the Chief Disciple. One had to understand that the position of Chief Disciple was extremely prominent; he was the senior brother to all third-generation disciples. Within the Washing Yan Ancient Sect, countless third-generation disciples with exceptional talent or who had made significant contributions had always wished to become the Chief Disciple, but none had received the Sect Master's approval.

Now, a good-for-nothing had arrived with an ancient token and become the Chief Disciple of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. How could this not make many disciples furious in their hearts?

Even if the disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect dared not question the Elder's decision, they certainly wouldn't show Li Qiye any pleasantries!

"He's Li Qiye." A disciple looked Li Qiye up and down as if he were a monster. In fact, quite a few people within the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had tried to use the Washing Yan Ancient Token, but none had ever succeeded. Yet, suddenly, Third Ghost Lord, that lecherous old man, had given the token, which he cherished like a treasure, to Li Qiye. It was truly bizarre.

"That's him. I heard he treated Third Ghost Lord at the Emerald Red Pavilion for ten days and ten nights," a disciple said disdainfully.

Another disciple, acting as if they had insider information, shook their head and said, "You're mistaken. It wasn't just ten days and ten nights. I heard that he booked a pair of twin sisters for Third Ghost Lord, those lecherous old men, at the Emerald Red Pavilion. These twin sisters were new courtesans. He booked them for three years, and that's why the old lecher was willing to give him the ancient token."

This matter became more and more exaggerated. Some said Li Qiye treated Third Ghost Lord at the Emerald Red Pavilion for sexual favors, and later it spread to absurd lengths. Some said Li Qiye booked a pair of sisters for Third Ghost Lord, while others said Li Qiye booked out the entire Emerald Red Pavilion for ten years, allowing Third Ghost Lord to indulge and enjoy himself... In short, there were all sorts of rumors. Regardless of the rumors, they all implied that Li Qiye had used vulgar and shameless methods to make Third Ghost Lord willingly give him the Washing Yan Ancient Token!
