Chapter 345: Ancestor Ancestor Linghu

Han Li and the little old man walked out of the house together. Xiao Cui'er, who was guarding the courtyard gate, also heard the series of giant bell sounds and couldn't help but look at the little old man in panic.

Seeing this, the little old man frowned and walked over a few steps to whisper something, and the girl's expression returned to normal.

Then the little old man greeted Han Li, and the two flew into the sky, heading straight for the Discussion Hall.

On the way, Han Li saw many cultivators flying in the same direction, but most of them were Qi Refining disciples, which showed that the strength in the valley was already greatly insufficient.

Presumably, when the Demonic Dao really attacked, even with the protection of the sect-guarding great formation, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

The two with dark faces were silent on the way and arrived in front of the huge stone hall in a short while.

At this time, thousands of cultivators gathered in front of the hall door, but they were all blocked by the guards at the door, and only those above the Foundation Establishment stage were allowed to enter to discuss matters.

Han Li and the little old man naturally had sufficient status, so they walked in silently under the complex gazes of others.

Upon entering the hall of the Discussion Hall, Han Li was stunned!

Because there was no chaotic scene like ants on a hot pot as he had imagined; the nearly one hundred cultivators present were all silent, all staring respectfully at the person in the main seat.

This person was naturally not the nominal Yellow Maple Valley Sect Master Zhong Lingdao, because Sect Master Zhong himself was honestly standing on the side. Sitting in the main seat was an elderly man in brocade clothes with white hair and beard.

The old man had a sallow face, a pair of small eyes that were dim and listless, and was truly ugly.

But for some reason, as soon as Han Li saw this person, his heart skipped a beat, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"What's going on?" Han Li was stunned in his heart.

As soon as the old man saw Han Li and the little old man enter, he just glanced at them lightly.

But this glance made Han Li feel cold all over, and he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as if all his hidden secrets had been seen through by him, and he couldn't help but change his expression greatly.

"Eh! The Primordial Spirit is cultivated well, you must have cultivated some kind of technique to exercise the Primordial Spirit!" After looking at Han Li, the old man flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes and asked lightly.

Hearing this, Han Li felt both shocked and fearful in his heart.

But what made him even more unbelievable was that he couldn't sense the existence of spiritual power from the old man, which showed that the difference in cultivation between the two was like heaven and earth, which was why this feeling appeared. However, Core Formation stage cultivators like Li Li Huayuan didn't give him this feeling, so could this person be...

Han Li pondered for a moment, and his heart became horrified. All the anger he had just now was thrown to the back of his mind, and instead, he hurriedly replied respectfully:

"Reporting to Senior, I have indeed cultivated a technique related to the Primordial Spirit. Senior truly has eyes like torches!" Han Li secretly flattered the old man.

Hearing Han Li say this, the old man in brocade clothes smiled slightly and then waved his hand lightly.

Han Li and the little old man immediately stood in the crowd tactfully.

After waiting for about the time it takes to eat a meal, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived one after another.

At this time, Zhong Lingdao respectfully said to the old man:

"Ancestor, the existing Foundation Establishment cultivators in the valley have all arrived. And Uncle-Master Huang is currently at Madam Tian Shi Peak, so I'm afraid he won't be able to rush back for a while."

The old man in brocade clothes frowned upon hearing this, but immediately ordered with his expression as usual:

"If he didn't come, then forget it. Now saving people is like fighting a fire, don't wait for him first, let's start."

"Yes, Ancestor is right!" Zhong Lingdao agreed obediently.

The old man in brocade clothes laughed upon hearing this, but said nothing.

"Fellow brothers, I'd like to introduce you to someone. This is the long-heard Ancestor Ancestor Linghu. The Ancestor reached the Nascent Soul stage three hundred years ago and is the only Supreme Elder of this sect. Now our sect has encountered an unprecedented crisis of destruction, so let the Ancestor arrange everything below."

Zhong Lingdao said a few words of courtesy and consciously retreated to the side.

Although most of the people below had guessed the identity of the old man in brocade clothes, after hearing these words, there was still a commotion, and they all stared at this Ancestor Ancestor Linghu with strange eyes!

This was the only Nascent Soul stage cultivator in Yellow Maple Valley for nearly a thousand years, and it was said that he was nearly eight hundred years old, which could be called the immortal old man of Yellow Maple Valley!

Ancestor Ancestor Linghu saw the chaotic situation below and coughed lightly, and the hall immediately became quiet. Who would dare not give face to this old ancestor?

"Since you have heard the Jinglong Bell, I won't say any nonsense."

"Now the seven-sect coalition has been defeated at the front, and our cultivators have suffered heavy casualties. Although we have barely established a new main camp on the second line of defense, failure is already unavoidable."

As soon as these few words came out of the old man's mouth, the many cultivators in the hall changed their expressions. Han Li and the little old man looked at each other with complex expressions and could only remain silent secretly.

"Ancestor, how is this possible? Isn't the day of our decisive battle with the Demonic Dao not yet here? There is clearly more than a month left!" A middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but stand up and ask.

"It is precisely because those people at the front had the same idea as you that they were ambushed and defeated by the Demonic Dao!" The old man in brocade clothes sank his face and scolded unceremoniously. He made the middle-aged man blush, and after giving a salute, he hurriedly retreated.

Seeing the middle-aged cultivator end up like this, no one else was so tactless, so although their hearts were full of doubts, they still listened quietly to what this Ancestor Ancestor Linghu would say next.

"Actually, the failure of this great battle cannot be entirely blamed on the people in charge at the front for not being careful enough and not guarding against the other party's tricks, but because there was a traitor among our seven sects. The people of the Spirit Beast Mountain actually opened the great formation outside while their sect was on alert, letting the Demonic Dao people in, which led to this great defeat." The old man said, revealing a bit of anger.

Hearing these words from the old man in brocade clothes, the many cultivators suddenly realized, and immediately cursed the Spirit Beast Sect cultivators, and the scene became chaotic again.

"Alright, what's the use of saying this now? The other party is more skilled, and we can only admit defeat. Now the most important thing is to let this sect avoid the disaster of destruction. You must know that the remaining cultivators at the front can at most win us two or three days of time. We must evacuate the Yue Kingdom as soon as possible." Ancestor Ancestor Linghu said with extreme calmness.

"Evacuate the Yue Kingdom?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the entire hall became silent, and no one spoke, as if everyone had been shocked!

For these cultivators born and raised in the Yue Kingdom, leaving the Yue Kingdom was truly too difficult to accept, and for a while, no one spoke to agree with the old man's words.

"Why? Reluctant to part with it?" The old man said indifferently, not panicked at all, as if he had long expected this situation.

"Ancestor, is it impossible for you and other Nascent Soul stage seniors to take action to repel the Demonic Dao?" Finally, a young man in his thirties asked with some hesitation.

"Of course we can. If we old guys join forces, we can easily eliminate these Demonic Dao cultivators who are confronting you." The old man said without hesitation.

"Then Ancestor, why..."

"But you must not forget that since the six sects of the Demonic Dao have such a great reputation, how could they have few Nascent Soul stage cultivators? We guys have already fought several battles with the old guys among them. As a result, we were at a disadvantage. Therefore, the other party forced us to swear a poisonous oath that none of us are allowed to take personal action to participate in this great battle. This great battle can only be limited to the level of Core Formation stage cultivators." Ancestor Ancestor Linghu sighed lightly, revealing a secret that was greatly unexpected.

Han Li below finally realized why he had never seen Nascent Soul stage level cultivators appear in the great battle.

"If we don't move, when the entire Yellow Maple Valley is surrounded and wiped out, I won't take action to save you due to my oath. Therefore, I have made up my mind that the entire sect must leave the Yue Kingdom. And not just the Yue Kingdom, the other five sects will also advance and retreat with us, so that when we arrive at an unfamiliar place, we can still make a comeback. When we are strong, we can grab the Yue Kingdom back." Ancestor Ancestor Linghu said with a cold laugh. Clearly, withdrawing from the Yue Kingdom was not something he couldn't accept.

Seeing that this ancestor spoke so decisively, others didn't dare to speak even if they had different ideas, so they had to follow the old man's instructions.

"Everything else is easy to handle, but there is one dangerous thing that still needs someone to do." Ancestor Ancestor Linghu suddenly said a sentence that made everyone stunned, and others couldn't help but look at each other.

"The people I point to below, follow me to the back hall, and the others stay here and listen to Sect Master Zhong's arrangements for evacuation!"

After saying this, the old man stood up from his seat and walked toward the people below with an expressionless face, leaving everyone stunned again.

"You, and you..."

This old man was truly unceremonious, pointing out more than half of the people present in one go, and Han Li and the little old man were among them.

After pointing out the people, this ancestor walked toward the back hall on his own.

Han Li and the others became somewhat uneasy. After hesitating for a while, they followed honestly.
