"Right beneath your feet."
"What?"
The other person didn't hesitate to answer Xu Fan; they directly gave him the answer.
Right beneath his feet, does that an?
Xu Fan frowned at this mont, looking over at the other person.
The other smiled and replied, "The Ohno Temple conceals an Underground Palace below, and our Ancient Cultivators have lived in this Ohno Temple for generations because of the Tomb Underworld Palace buried underneath."
The Underground Palace Tomb has been in existence for over a thousand years, built after the nirvana of Monk Xuyun back in the day.
Its entrance is located on Qingyun Mountain behind the Ohno Temple, and how to open it is a thod known only to the Saintess.
Not only that, Qingyun Mountain is guarded by the top experts among the Ancient Cultivators, and no ordinary person is allowed to approach.
Moreover, the entrance to the tomb on Qingyun Mountain is guarded by the four ancestral elders of the Ancient Cultivators.
"According to legend, the martial arts we Ancient Cultivators practice today are rely the most rudintary of those stored in the Underground Palace."
The other person explained the various details about the Underground Palace Tomb to Xu Fan in detail, and Xu Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow while listening.
According to his explanation, the martial arts heritage within the Underground Palace Tomb is really quite enticing.
"I estimate that before long, Igarashi will return to the Ohno Temple, so for the next few days, it would be great if you could stay here temporarily."
Igarashi wants to unlock the Martial Arts Heritage, so he must co to the Ohno Temple. Now, Xu Fan staying here and waiting is the best choice.
Upon hearing the invitation, he nodded and agreed straight away.
"Alright, then these next few days, it's up to you."
"By the way."
Now that he had extracted nearly all the information he could from him, with Xu Fan staying as an invited guest in the Ohno Temple, he suddenly rembered sothing.
"Hmm?"
"If you have any requests, just let know."
Looking at Xu Fan, the other person said.
Xu Fan chuckled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want you to take to see where the Saintess is buried."
"Hmm?"
Xu Fan's request was indeed not a big deal, but the other person didn't quite understand his purpose.
"Did you perhaps discover sothing?"
Xu Fan shook his head, smiling, "No discovery, I just wanted to pay respect to this poor woman, that's all."
This woman was indeed pitiable; the so-called destiny had shackled her with the title of Saintess. Xu Fan estimated, if she had the chance to choose again, she would never choose such a life.
"Alright, it's not a big deal, follow ."
Simply paying respect to the Saintess was not a big deal, and the other person nodded at this mont, leading Xu Fan to walk out of the main hall.
"Senior Brother."
Following closely as the guy walked out of the main hall, Kato Bear ca up directly from the side.
Apparently, during Xu Fan's long discussion with this guy, Kato Bear had been waiting outside the main hall.
He initially thought that Senior Brother had brought Xu Fan into the hall to deal with him personally, but now, Xu Fan was unhard and seed to have a very good relationship with Senior Brother.
Kato Bear's mood at this mont was really not good.
"This guy is an outsider martial artist."
He said with a somber face at this mont, clearly reminding his senior brother not to forget the rules among the Ancient Cultivators.
This slightly threatening tone clearly angered Senior Brother.
Senior Brother glanced coldly at Kato Bear.
"Do you think, at this mont, it's still ti to care about these things?"
"Kato Bear, for the line of Ancient Cultivators, survival is what matters. Don't talk nonsense to now."
After a stern rebuke, Senior Brother led Xu Fan away with a flourish.
Leaving Kato Bear, with a flushed face, clenching his fists tightly in place...
"Your junior brother has quite a temper."
Following behind this guy, Kato Bear had now disappeared from sight.
Just now, he had saved Xu Fan from an unnecessary trouble, so Xu Fan threw a playful jibe at this mont, "By the way, we've talked for so long, I still don't know how to address you."
"You can just call Chiba; as for my identity, you've probably figured it out by now."
"Nowadays, apart from those few old folks in the line of Ancient Cultivators, it's who's in charge."
Chiba casually explained about his identity at this mont, but didn't go into any detail with Xu Fan.
Leading Xu Fan, they headed to the back mountain of the Ohno Temple, and before long, they stopped in a cetery.
"Alright, we're here."
You could see a tombstone standing where Chiba halted.
The na inscribed on it was evidently the deceased Saintess, Matsuyama Tsuki.
From the photo, she wasn't particularly beautiful, but showed a gentle and pleasant aura.
Xu Fan observed and couldn't help but sigh.
If she hadn't been chosen as this Ancient Cultivators' Saintess, he believed she would now be happily staying at ho, taking care of her husband and children.
Thinking of this woman's pitiful life, Xu Fan took a deep breath and bowed a few tis in front of her grave.
"Phew, alright, let's go. Let's not disturb those who ca before us."
The visit here was only ant to pay homage to this poor woman.
Now that the homage was paid, Xu Fan wasn't keen on staying, disturbing soone's rest.
Saying this, he prepared to leave with Chiba.
Chiba, after paying his respects at the Saintess's grave, led Xu Fan away.
He was well aware of how unwelco Xu Fan, as an outsider martial artist, was in this Ancient Cultivators' stronghold.
That's why he stayed by Xu Fan's side the entire ti.
Leading Xu Fan, they headed directly to the guest room within the Ohno Temple.
After leading Xu Fan to the guest room, he said, "For the next few days, you can stay here. I'll arrange soone to take care of your daily needs."
"If you encounter any trouble, you can contact right away."
He was very clear that the trouble referred to those guys like Kato Bear.
Xu Fan smiled at this mont, then said, "Don't worry, these little troubles, I can handle them."
"But if that guy has any information, rember to notify at once."
If Kato Bear continued to pursue him, Xu Fan wouldn't mind engaging him in a little play.
"By the way."
Chatting with Chiba, just as he was about to leave, Xu Fan suddenly stopped him.
Seeing the puzzled look directed at him, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Actually, I have one particular curiosity."
"Do you think you Ancient Cultivators might secretly look for a woman?"
People have desires. Igarashi fell in love with a Saintess, these Ancient Cultivators, all a bunch of rough n—could they really spend their whole lives with just their right hands?
