The statue's features were lifelike. It wore the long robes of the Bei Clan and was none other than the current clan head of the Bei Clan—Bei Cangxuan, grandfather of Eldest Senior Sister Bei Qingtang!
Xu Changqing could scarcely believe it. "How could it be him?"
All at once, a chill shot straight up his spine and into the crown of his head.
This was the first time since he began cultivating that he had felt his scalp prickle with terror.
Earlier, in the ancestral hall within the Bei Clan Forbidden Grounds, he had clearly seen Bei Cangxuan's memorial tablet.
By all reason, the man should have been dead. Why was there a statue of him here?
It was even guarded layer upon layer by spiderwebs, as though he were being worshipped like a deity.
For a moment, Xu Changqing truly could not tell whether Bei Cangxuan was dead, or whether he had continued to "live" on in some bizarre manner.
After the initial fright, Xu Changqing quickly calmed down.
At the same time, a thought abruptly sprang to mind.
Since the statue was not the Lifeless Insect Mother, could it have already relocated?
Following that train of thought, Xu Changqing quickly thought of a place.

When the Azure Radiant Flow phenomenon had appeared before, many Insect Cultivators had shown up there. Some had even found the Shimmering Jade Grotto.
Thinking about it now, they had likely been scouting the way for the Lifeless Insect Mother.
Once he understood this, Xu Changqing instead felt relieved.
The Lifeless Insect Mother was unfathomable. Since it was not here now, Xu Qiansui would not have to confront that terrifying existence directly, reducing the danger by several degrees.
The problem was that Eldest Senior Sister's whereabouts still remained unknown.
