The Ancestor Returns

Half an hour later, at Chenyue Tower.

Ever since meeting this so-called sect leader, Yi Yun had been uneasy. The old man gave Yi Yun an extremely dangerous feeling.

Yi Yun wasn't used to putting himself in dangerous situations, but now, thanks to the Dragon Emperor Art and the old snake's presence, he had no choice but to stay in Myriad Gods Ridge.

"Young master, the snacks are ready. Shall I bring them to you?"

Duanmu Qingwen bowed and said softly.

"No need. I'm going into my cultivation room for seclusion; don't disturb me."

As Yi Yun spoke, he walked straight into the cultivation room of Chenyue Tower.

Duanmu Qingwen had no choice but to nod. She had been at Chenyue Tower for several days, but she had hardly had any chance to take care of Yi Yun's daily life. Not to mention taking care of Yi Yun, she had barely even seen him a few times. When she finally did see him, he would hurriedly go into the cultivation room again.

"Young master is truly hardworking..."

As Duanmu Qingwen thought this, little did she know that Yi Yun's expression was quite unpleasant in the cultivation room.

There's something wrong with the cultivation rooms in Chenyue Tower!

Logically, once the array in the cultivation room is activated, it should be completely isolated from the outside world, and no one should be able to detect what's happening inside. However, the sect leader of Myriad Gods Ridge knew his whereabouts, which means that the array in the cultivation room probably had some kind of backdoor, allowing this old man to easily monitor him.

Fortunately, upon reflection, Yi Yun realized that he hadn't done anything that touched on his secrets during his cultivation over the past few days; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"This Myriad Gods Ridge doesn't even have a private place for me; I really can't stay here any longer."

Who would want to be monitored every day? Yi Yun didn't know if the other Personal Disciple would feel the same way. Perhaps it was because of his special status and ability to activate the Kanglong Ding that he was treated this way.

As Yi Yun was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of the room.

The figure appeared silently, as if it had always been there, which startled Yi Yun. He looked closely and saw that the person was a short old man with a familiar, lewd smile on his wrinkled face.

"Old snake!"

Yi Yun was speechless. This old guy suddenly appeared without saying a word, just like a ghost. If you weren't prepared, you would have been really startled.

"It seems like you're being watched."

The old man stroked his beard, looking around at Yi Yun's cultivation room.

"You knew you were here?"

Yi Yun said irritably, but he also knew that since the old snake dared to do this, he must have been confident in avoiding surveillance.

Although Old Snake may seem like a scoundrel, his strength is undeniable.

"Hehe, that's why I'm here. I've already taken care of the surveillance array for you, so you should thank me. Otherwise, it would be so awkward if you and your little maid were doing something naughty and someone was spying on you!"

The old snake clapped his hands and gave a knowing look.

Yi Yun was speechless. This old man was so old, yet he had Hua Hua.

"How did you solve it? Since that old guy set up the formation, it was to monitor me. If he found out that the formation had been altered, wouldn't he be even more suspicious of me?"

"Haha! How could I make such a low-level mistake? That Myriad Gods Ridge sect leader thinks he's quite skilled in formations and has set up a hidden surveillance formation. But in my hands, this formation is just child's play. I'll cover it up with a new formation. When the time comes, as long as you don't want to be monitored by that old guy, just activate my formation. That way, he'll see you meditating and cultivating. You can do whatever you want. That old guy is still too inexperienced compared to me."

The old snake spoke casually, completely disregarding the leader of the Myriad Gods Ridge. Although the old snake seemed to be a big braggart, Yi Yun knew that the old guy was reliable when it mattered.

In this way, Yi Yun was finally free from constant surveillance; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in Chenyue Tower for even a day.

Yi Yun said, "Didn't you say you were going to make a move soon? This Myriad Gods Ridge sect leader doesn't seem like a kind person. I don't want to keep risking my life here."

"I'd like to, but... the patriarch of Myriad Gods Ridge is about to return, so we'll probably have to postpone our actions."

"The Ancestor of Myriad Gods Ridge?"

Yi Yun's breath hitched. The sect leader of Myriad Gods Ridge already made him feel that he was dangerous and troublesome, but this ancestor of Myriad Gods Ridge was much more mysterious and powerful than the sect leader.

He couldn't help but look at the old snake with suspicion. This old guy should be able to handle the Ancestor of Myriad Gods Ridge, right?

The old snake saw through Yi Yun's thoughts. He curled his lip in disdain. "What, kid, you doubt me? I'm just an old ancestor of Myriad Gods Ridge. With me here, you can rest assured."

As the old snake spoke, he chuckled and patted Yi Yun on the shoulder, "Chen Xue entrusted you to me, how could I possibly betray you, right?"

Yi Yun looked unconvinced. He had risked everything by activating the Kanglong Ding this time, so he had to be extra careful. He might accidentally become a pawn for this old man.

As Yi Yun was pondering this, suddenly, his Personal Disciple token flashed with a bright light; this was a voice transmission from the token.

Call to arms!

An hour later, all the Personal Disciple and elders went to the Jade Emperor Palace in Myriad Gods Ridge to wait and welcome the Myriad Gods Ancestor was returning from his travels!

It really is the Myriad Gods Ancestor who has returned. Yi Yun glanced at the old snake in surprise. The old snake was incredibly accurate. But how did this old fellow know the Myriad Gods Ancestor's whereabouts?

The old snake stroked his beard and said smugly, "Nothing on Myriad Gods Ridge can escape my eyes if I investigate carefully."

Yi Yun also admired Old Snake; having such an ally certainly made him feel more at ease.

However, he found it strange that this summons was unlike the style of the Myriad Gods Ancestor before.

Although he had just entered the Myriad Gods Ridge, he had heard about the Myriad Gods Ancestor from many people. This person was extremely mysterious and his whereabouts were unpredictable. Even elders and Personal Disciple had virtually no chance of meeting the Myriad Gods Ancestor. In fact, let alone meeting him, there were very few rumors about the Myriad Gods Ancestor.

In Myriad Gods Ridge, the sect leader is already a high and mighty figure, while the Myriad Gods Ancestor is equivalent to a legend.

But today, the Myriad Gods Ancestor has returned, and he has actually summoned all his Personal Disciple and elders to welcome him. This in itself is unusual. Could it be that the Myriad Gods Ancestor has summoned them for some reason?

In fact, while Yi Yun was puzzled, many other Personal Disciple and elders were also puzzled when they received the news.

Of course, there were even more surprises!

The Myriad Gods Ancestor is a god-like figure in Myriad Gods Ridge. To be able to meet the Myriad Gods Ancestor is an absolute stroke of luck. If one could gain even the slightest appreciation from the Myriad Gods Ancestor, one could rise to the top in one step and obtain countless opportunities.

This has made many people eagerly anticipate the return of the Myriad Gods Ancestor.
