177: Chapter 176 Trust Me

Ancestor Lingtong looked at the situation before him, with only one thought in his mind.

The situation is not optimistic.

I, this ancestor, was suppressed for so many years and finally managed to get out.

If I lose my life here right after coming out, then those hundreds of thousands of years of suffering would have been in vain.

A smile immediately piled up on Ancestor Lingtong's face, and the arrogance of "this ancestor wants to extract your soul and refine your spirit" from just a moment ago vanished without a trace.

Even his voice softened by eight octaves:

"Senior, this little one has just broken the Seal and my mind is not yet clear. To have offended Senior, I truly deserve ten thousand deaths."

"I do not know where I have offended you? Please speak, and this little one will change, this little one will make amends."

Big White only glanced at Jin Yuanhao.

Jin Yuanhao immediately understood, stepping forward to speak:

"What is your name?"

Only then did Ancestor Lingtong notice this Quasi-Emperor beside him. Although he felt disdain in his heart—a mere Quasi-Emperor is worthy of speaking to this ancestor?

If it were hundreds of thousands of years ago, this kind of character wouldn't even be fit to carry his shoes.

But in the current situation, with that malignant star squatting there staring at him, he didn't dare show even a hint of displeasure.

He answered honestly:

"This little one's Daoist name is Lingtong, a Cultivator from the end of the desolate ancient era, who fortunately reached the True Immortal Realm. Later, due to some trivial matters, I offended the Human Sovereign and was suppressed here by him until I escaped today."

He paused and added cautiously,

"I wonder how I should address you two Seniors?"

Jin Yuanhao said indifferently:

"I am the Hall Master of the Spirit Beast Hall of the Taixuan Sect, Jin Yuanhao. This is Lord Bai of our Sect."

Ancestor Lingtong hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"So it is Senior Bai and Hall Master Jin!"

"This little one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended you just now. I hope Senior Bai and Hall Master Jin are magnanimous and won't hold it against me."

Jin Yuanhao ignored his flattery and continued to ask:

"You said just now that you were suppressed by the Human Sovereign. Why did the Human Sovereign suppress you?"

Ancestor Lingtong gave a sheepish laugh:

"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Back then, this little one needed some blood food for cultivation and swallowed people from a few small Sects, just as I happened to run into the Human Sovereign on a tour."

"He is the type who can't stand such things, so he sealed me up."

When Jin Yuanhao heard the words 'swallowing blood food', his expression immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Ancestor Lingtong's heart tightened, and he quickly waved his hands to make amends:

"That was all hundreds of thousands of years ago. I've been suppressed for so many years, reflecting on my mistakes day and night, and I've long since repented! Really!"

"Hall Master Jin, believe me! This little one doesn't have a single bit of blood-Evil Qi on him now, I'm completely clean!"

The surrounding Demon Emperors looked at each other upon hearing the words 'Human Sovereign'.

Ao Yuan frowned: "Human Sovereign? The leader of the Human Race in the Primordial Era? There are indeed scattered records in ancient texts, but they are vague. Most of the specific deeds have been lost to time."

Wu Huan also nodded: "I have only seen a few mentions in ancient scrolls as well. Legend has it that the Primordial Human Sovereign's power could reach the heavens, yet he didn't seem to dominate through cultivation alone. The details have long since been annihilated in the passage of time."

Feng Yao looked at Ancestor Lingtong and sneered:

"Swallowed a few small Sects? I doubt that's all! For an evil Cultivator like you, it's only right that the Human Sovereign suppressed you."

Ancestor Lingtong smiled sheepishly, not daring to argue back.

Jin Yuanhao thought for a moment and asked: "Was the news about the Ancient Demon Emperor Ruins released by you?"

Ancestor Lingtong quickly shook his head:

"No, no, no, that has nothing to do with me. It's possible that residual aura from the Primordial Era leaked out, and it was rumored outside to be the Ancient Demon Emperor Ruins."

"I also just came out and don't know anything."

A flattering smile piled up on his face again,

"Senior, although my cultivation hasn't recovered yet, I was once in the True Immortal Realm after all. If Senior has any use for me, whether it's serving tea, pouring water, or running errands, I will never slack off!"

As he spoke, he secretly observed Big White's reaction. Big White still didn't react.

He felt more and more uneasy. What exactly does this tiger want to do?

After listening, Jin Yuanhao looked back at Big White.

Big White remained expressionless, only his tail flicked slightly.

Jin Yuanhao understood.

He turned back and said to Ancestor Lingtong:

"We know your background. As for how to deal with you..."

Ancestor Lingtong looked at him nervously.

"Lord Bai said that you were sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, yet you wanted to kill people as soon as you came out."

"Today you could attack Senior Yunling, and tomorrow you could attack others. Taixuan Sect has always disliked leaving future troubles."

Ancestor Lingtong's eyes widened: "Wait..."

Big White didn't give him a chance to wait.

With one paw strike, Ancestor Lingtong was gone before he could finish his sentence.

Ancestor Lingtong's body exploded directly, and before his Divine Soul could even escape, it turned into fly ash and dissipated in the air.

This True Immortal Realm powerhouse from the end of the desolate ancient era, who had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, was gone less than half an incense stick of time after breaking the Seal.

The surrounding Demon Emperors watched this scene, not daring to even breathe loudly.

That was a True Immortal. These Demon Emperors were usually overlords in the Desolate Ancient Continent, but to them, a True Immortal was still a legendary existence.

And now, a legendary existence was killed so casually before their eyes, without even a struggle.

Wu Huan swallowed and whispered to Shi Xuan beside him:

"Lord Bai's paw... it was like swatting a fly."

Shi Xuan didn't reply, only nodding silently.

Feng Yao took a deep breath, feeling somewhat fortunate.

Fortunate that Junior Sister Feng Li went to participate in the Taixuan Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, and fortunate that the child actually passed the Heart-Questioning Heavenly Ladder.

Now that Junior Sister Feng Li is a Core Disciple of the Taixuan Sect, there is a solid relationship between the Phoenix Clan and the Taixuan Sect.

They are no longer strangers with no connection.

Directly taking flight!

Ao Yuan stood in the crowd, expressionless, but his dragon claws tightened slightly inside his sleeves.

He recalled the matter of competing for the true dragon holy fruit with Emperor Tianxing at the Shenwu City auction; at that time, he even dared to use the Dragon Clan's name to pressure others.

Thinking about it now, his back felt a bit cold.

Hidden in the shadows of the cliff, Ancestor Heihun was trembling all over.

He wasn't sad for his old friend.

Ancestor Lingtong was never a life-and-death friend to him.

They were just peers who had hung out together at the end of the desolate ancient era.

If he's dead, he's dead.

Mainly, that guy had a treasure that was crucial for him to recover his cultivation.

Now that Ancestor Lingtong is dead, that treasure is also gone with no leads.

"Truly a piece of trash."

Ancestor Heihun cursed in his heart, not knowing if he was cursing Ancestor Lingtong or himself.

He shrank himself even tighter, concealing his aura completely, not even daring to probe outward with his Divine Sense.

His only thought now was to leave this place quickly and find a place where no one knew him to hide.

As for recovering his cultivation, he could only think of another way.
