She said this with so sadness.
The Dao hasn’t succeeded, but affection is lost.
Looking back, all that’s left is empty sorrow.
Now she only appears youthful due to her skills, but in reality, she’s already in her twilight years, with only a few years of life span left.
Chen Shi thought of Lady Ling Su, hesitated a mont, and didn’t tell her about Lady Ling Su’s death.
"Ancestor Master, who was the Sect Leader before Chang Ying Daoist from the previous generation?" Chen Shi asked.
Qiongyang Ancestor replied, "It was Senior Brother Jing Hong. He was a few years older than and passed away a few years ago. Back in the day, he almost got beaten to death by your grandfather."
"So, he was the Sect Leader who almost got done by my grandfather!" Chen Shi exclaid.
Qiongyang Ancestor wondered, "Why are you asking about him?"
Chen Shi hesitated, then explained Qing Yang’s theory about the graveyard grass, saying, "Uncle Qing Yang suspects that Sect Leader Jing Hong might have undergone Corpse Transformation and is still in the Human World."
Qiongyang Ancestor’s eyes lit up, and she laughed, "Back then, when your grandfather and I were digging at the Ancestor Master’s Tomb, we did indeed find a few empty coffins!"
Chen Shi stared at her in shock, while Qiongyang Ancestor was a bit embarrassed, her face slightly reddened, and she defended herself, "Who hasn’t had their reckless youthful days? I was quite reckless then, and with your grandfather being full of mischief, I followed his lead."
She quickly changed the topic, looking quite proud, "Later, Qing Yang discovered us, and your grandfather threatened him with his graveyard grass eating incident, so Qing Yang joined us. We dug through all the Ancestor Master’s Tombs... I still have two Luoyang Shovels here, forged into weapons. I’ll take one and you’ll take the other, and we’ll dig up Jing Hong’s grave together."
Chen Shi was startled, quickly saying, "Ancestor Master, how could I dare? Besides, I already arranged with Uncle Qing Yang to act tonight..."
Qiongyang Ancestor stood up, went into the side hall, took out two glittering Luoyang Shovels, and handed one to him, laughing, "Qing Yang is now being treated like a mascot and can’t get away for days! We won’t wait for him!"
Chen Shi placed the Luoyang Shovel inside the small temple, his heart pounding.
Qiongyang Ancestor led him outside, when Yu Lingzi’s voice ca from outside, "Disciple Yu Lingzi, thanks Ancestor Master for pleading!"
Qiongyang Ancestor walked out of the Green Bird Palace, Yu Lingzi was outside, bowing and standing respectfully. Seeing Chen Shi, he was both shocked and delighted, "True King Chen!"
He suddenly realized, quickly corrected himself, laughed, "Uncle Chen, long ti no see!"
Qiongyang Ancestor, with a lively deanor, glanced at him, saying, "Yu Lingzi, co along as well. You can catch up on the way."
Yu Lingzi was both shocked and delighted, thinking, "Ancestor Master is promoting !"
He quickly followed the two, whispering, "Uncle, where are we going?"
Chen Shi replied, "To dig up Sect Leader Jing Hong’s grave."
Yu Lingzi shivered, turning pale as if he wanted to retreat into the Demon Suppressing Cave.
"Later, Yu Lingzi and Black Pot will keep watch, and Little Ten and I will dig the grave!" Qiongyang Ancestor said.
Yu Lingzi secretly groaned, "I only broke a few fingers of my senior brothers; I never thought of betraying the sect..."
They quickly reached the forbidden area of Taihua Qing Palace and entered the graveyard. Black Pot patted Yu Lingzi’s shoulder, signaling him to be alert and follow him.
Yu Lingzi, with a mournful expression, stood watch with it.
Chen Shi and Qiongyang Ancestor swung the Luoyang Shovels, wielding them like the wind.
"Wrong one, not this one, this is my master’s grave."
Qiongyang Ancestor’s voice ca, "Master, I’m sorry... It should be the one next to it."
After a mont, Sect Leader Jing Hong’s coffin was opened.
Inside was empty, with only a Daoist robe left.
