"The Sect Leader has returned!"
The other high-ranking mbers of the Mountain Ancient Land also showed expressions of excitent.
With the Sect Leader’s return, everything would be settled, and there was no need to worry about the Su family causing trouble again.
Luo Xiaochuan was the stabilizing force of the Mountain Ancient Land. As long as he was present, it felt like any issue could be effortlessly resolved. So, when Luo Xiaochuan’s Celestial Derivation Staff appeared, even soone as strong as Su Zheng beca unafraid in front of the Mountain Ancient Land.
This made the Mountain Ancient Land stand tall.
Su Zheng also swept his gaze around.
Yet, after a while, Luo Xiaochuan still did not appear, only the Celestial Derivation Staff was planted in the ground.
"It seems Luo Xiaochuan has not returned," Su Zheng said calmly.
The man may not have co back, but his weapon arrived first.
What does this an?
Is it an attempt to preemptively intimidate his Su family?
"The Sect Leader will return in two days. If Brother Su is willing, you may wait here at our Mountain Ancient Land, and specific matters will be decided upon the Sect Leader’s return."
"If Brother Su is truly impatient and intends to cause a stir and stretch your muscles here at our Mountain Ancient Land, then allow this old man to accompany you. After all, it has been a long ti since this old man has had a workout."
At this mont, a voice drifted in from the void.
This voice was unfamiliar, so much so that most of the Thirty-Six Peak Masters of the Mountain Ancient Land had never heard it before.
They looked at each other—who was speaking?
However, as soon as this person’s voice sounded, Su Zheng widened his eyes, and a deep apprehension flashed in his gaze.
"No need, we’re leaving."
Su Zheng didn’t waste words, turning and leaving with Su Xianci. He soared into the clouds directly, leaving Su Xianci puzzled as to why his fourth granduncle suddenly took him away.
This motion left everyone else in utter bewildernt. What exactly was going on?
Who was the one speaking?
Why did Su Zheng beco so apprehensive upon hearing this voice and turn to leave?
"Everyone, we are very sorry for what happened today at our Mountain Ancient Land, but I’m afraid today’s tea gathering cannot proceed," Zhou Tiannan stepped forward and said, "Please stay a night at our Mountain Ancient Land and leave tomorrow."
"No, Elder Zhou, since your sect has matters to attend to, we won’t intrude further. We’ll take our leave now."
"Indeed, indeed, we also have so family matters to handle, better to return and deal with them soon," another clan leader stepped forward and spoke politely.
Though they had almost been poisoned today, who dared to show any dissatisfaction?
Even if they were truly poisoned, who would dare to seek revenge against the Mountain Ancient Land?
Everyone could tell these were polite remarks, so they all hurriedly stepped forward, cupped their fists, and bid farewell.
They also knew that this incident nearly led to a major disaster, and since soone had poisoned the tea at the Mountain Ancient Land, they definitely needed to conduct a self-investigation.
"My apologies," Zhou Tiannan said with cupped fists.
After politely sending everyone away from the Mountain Ancient Land, Zhou Tiannan’s expression turned even more grim.
The initial intent was to hold a celebration to showcase the current strength of the Mountain Ancient Land.
However, unexpectedly, not only did the Su family co to cause trouble, but there was also a poisoning incident, rcilessly trampling on the face of the Mountain Ancient Land!
"Conduct a thorough investigation!"
Zhou Tiannan shouted angrily, "Wu Wenying, lead the Law Enforcent Peak in the investigation!"
"The other peaks must conduct self-investigations as well, especially Wanzai Peak."
"Yes!"
At this mont, the entire atmosphere of the Mountain Ancient Land turned incredibly tense.
It seems today, Zhou Tiannan is determined to root out this ’Blood Leaf’ of the Longevity Sect.
"Elder Zhou is truly enraged,"
Li Jingsong looked at the angry Zhou Tiannan and said to Li Hengsheng, "But I didn’t expect the Sect Leader to return in two days; that’s good news. Even if they can’t catch this Longevity Sect mole, they’ll definitely be able to flush them out once the Sect Leader returns."
"The return of the Sect Leader will definitely bring out this mole?" Li Hengsheng asked curiously, looking at Li Jingsong, "Is the Sect Leader really that formidable, and today, even when he’s not present, he still threw his weapon out to hold the ground?"
He’s truly a decisive person.
"The Sect Leader’s abilities are unmatched. Once the Sect Leader returns, the Longevity Sect’s mole surely won’t be able to hide," Li Jingsong said confidently.
It seed Li Jingsong also had so admiration for Luo Xiaochuan.
"Pavilion Master Li, who exactly was the person who spoke just now? Even Su Zheng seed very apprehensive," Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask.
"Our Mountain Ancient Land’s hidden ancestor," Li Jingsong said calmly, "but not many in our Mountain Ancient Land are aware of this person."
"There is a hidden ancestor in the Mountain Ancient Land?" Li Hengsheng was greatly astonished upon hearing this.
"Indeed. The Elder Council answers directly to the ancestor; otherwise, why do so elders at the Innate Perfection level appear above the Vice Sect Leader Xue Qianbai?" Li Jingsong smiled, and it’s likely not even Su Zheng from the Su family knows that the Mountain Ancient Land’s ancestor is still alive.
But today, after this, this secret will no longer be a secret.
Li Hengsheng remained very shocked.
He had thought that after becoming a personal disciple, he had already understood the dynamics of the Mountain Ancient Land.
However, he never imagined that there was still a mysterious ancestor hidden in the Mountain Ancient Land.
The true strength of the Mountain Ancient Land was indeed unfathomable!
If it hadn’t been for this mysterious ancestor today, the situation would not have been so easily resolved with just the Sect Leader’s Celestial Derivation Staff.
