Chapter 2024: Chapter 2021: The Liu Family Elder
Hong State.
Red Sun River Liu Family.
Since that battle, the Liu Family by the Red Sun River has been in a state of decline.
Although the Heavenly Dao suppression was lifted, showing signs of recovery,
Shortly after, a message came back to the Liu Family, plunging them into despair.
Liu Yuanchen, a prodigy on the Mystic Yellow List, ascending the Emperor Road, his Life Scroll shattered.
The Undying Great Saint accompanying him was also destroyed.
This news was hard for the Liu Family to accept.
Though the Liu Family by the Red Sun River was a Great Emperor Immortal Sect, descendants of Fierce Sun Great Emperor.
From the Emperor Era, the Liu Family has gradually fallen into decline.
Since Fierce Sun Great Emperor Liu Quan, no Great Emperor has emerged.
During the Emperor Era, several Quasi-Emperors arose, continuing the Liu Family’s glory, but after that, no such prodigies appeared.
Up until now, it was hard enough to produce Liu Yuanchen.
Although it was the End of Dharma Era, he persisted, ascended the Emperor Road, after further tempering, he at least had the chance to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
But now, Liu Yuanchen is dead.
This signifies that the Liu Family, in this era, cannot continue to compete.
And that’s not all.
Recently, they received the news they least wanted to hear.
Ye Xuan was the first to walk out from the Emperor Road.
Three years ahead!
Creating an eternal miracle.
Who is Ye Xuan?
The top of the Mystic Yellow List, known as the strongest Reserve Emperor of the Xuanhuang.
But at the same time, Ye Xuan is the Liu Family’s greatest enemy!
After that battle, the Liu Family had already considered Ye Xuan a person who must be killed.
It’s a pity they couldn’t accomplish this in the battle because the Heavenly Dao suppression wasn’t lifted, the strongest were only Invincible Great Sages.
And at that time, Ye Xuan was an absolutely invincible existence.
That battle on the Ancient Battlefield of Zhongxuan Mountain had already made Ye Xuan famous throughout the Xuanhuang Great World.
He would be remembered in the annals of history in the years to come.
This time, however, things were different.
The degree to which the Heavenly Dao suppression lifted allowed the Liu Family to act fully.
But the Liu Family didn’t rush to act.
Because Ye Xuan hadn’t appeared.
Knowing Ye Xuan appeared in Zhongxuan Mountain, the Liu Family began to take action.
Yet the Liu Family wasn’t foolish, during the Emperor Road’s opening, absolute powerhouse from Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect descended from the Heavenly Domain, but after going to Zhongxuan Mountain, they silently perished.
Therefore, the Liu Family didn’t plan to go to Zhongxuan Mountain.
It’s Ye Xuan’s territory, going there would mean courting death.
So the Liu Family waited.
Waiting for an opportunity.
As long as Ye Xuan leaves Zhongxuan Mountain, the Liu Family will make their move.
And before that.
The Liu Family Head led the Council of Elders to pay respects to ancestor Fierce Sun Great Emperor Liu Quan.
Afterwards, the Liu Family Head went to the lower reaches of the Red Sun River.
At the lower reaches of Red Sun River, lies a stretch of primeval forest.
Rarely visited by people.
Spiritual energy is not particularly abundant here.
But after the Heavenly Dao suppression was lifted, and spiritual energy revived, this place became more lively, birthing many spirits.
After arriving here, the Liu Family Head didn’t choose to fly or use Divine Sense, he walked for three days and nights to finally find an open space.
There, a thatched cottage was constructed.
Many vegetables were also planted.
A little creek not far ahead.
The creek’s source is from Red Sun River.
This is a rare hidden paradise.
Upon arriving here, the Liu Family Head appeared somewhat restrained, even nervous.
Before he reached the yard, he bowed and called out: "Junior Liu Zhichuan of the Liu Family, greets Great Ancestor Qingyuan."
From the thatched cottage, an old man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a bamboo fish basket stepped out.
The old man seemed seventy or eighty years old, dressed in shorts and shirt, glanced at the Liu Family Head and said: "Come in, I just got some fish, I’m about to cook."
Seeing that his household’s ancestor didn’t drive him away, the Liu Family Head secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and respectfully entered the cottage.
The cottage inside wasn’t spacious, but very clean.
Small but complete.
Inside there was a special stove for cooking.
At this moment, the old man emptied the fish from the basket, and with a gentle slap, the fish died painlessly, the old man skillfully descaled, removed the innards, chopped off the body, keeping only the fish head.
"This is a method I learned from the Mortal Dynasty, called Diced Capsicum Fish Head."
The old man spoke while working, chatting with the Liu Family Head.
The Liu Family Head’s mind wasn’t in it, but since his ancestor was talking, he could only echo: "Ancestor is formidable."
The old man’s hands paused, then continued without speaking, focusing on his Diced Capsicum Fish Head.
The old man was very meticulous in his work.
Before long, the fresh Diced Capsicum Fish Head was done.
After serving, placing it on the table, the old man said to the Liu Family Head with chopsticks and bowl: "Want to eat together?"
The Liu Family Head, obliged by courtesy.
During the meal, the old man remained silent.
The Liu Family Head dared not speak.
After finishing, he willingly cleaned the dishes.
The old man didn’t stop him, humming a small tune with closed eyes.
Upon finishing the dishes, the old man opened his eyes, said softly: "You should go back; I will not leave the mountain."
The Liu Family Head was startled, hurriedly said: "Great Ancestor Qingyuan..."
The old man interrupted with a wave, speaking slowly: "The Liu Family is no match for them, losing is losing."
"On the day of that battle, I watched from here."
"Even if I leave the mountain, I can’t move against the Emperor Immortal Sect with their War God Banner."
Upon hearing this, the Liu Family Head realized his ancestor misunderstood his intentions and quickly said: "Ancestor misunderstood, junior came not to trouble the Emperor Immortal Sect, but to seek your aid against Ye Xuan."
At these words, the old man was momentarily stunned, "Wasn’t that youngster on the Emperor Road?"
The Liu Family Head bitterly smiled: "Ancestor, you are unaware, the boy walked off the Emperor Road over two months ago, and is now in Zhongxuan Mountain."
The old man’s eyes sharpened, "Walked off the Emperor Road over two months ago? The Emperor Road has only run seven years; how did he get out?"
"Has he received the Heavenly Destiny Baptism?"
The old man asked.
The Liu Family Head paused slightly: "This... did not occur, many experts are puzzled by this as the moment he walked out, the top spot on the Emperor Road Heavenly Stele was him."
The old man furrowed his brow, pondering deeply.
Recognized by the Emperor Road Heavenly Stele, it surely means he completed the Emperor Road.
Yet he did not receive the Heavenly Destiny Baptism?
This is somewhat abnormal.
Could it be at the end of the Emperor Road, he didn’t get baptized by the Power of Heavenly Destiny?
This era’s Heavenly Destiny doesn’t acknowledge the youngster?
This seems the only possibility.
"You come to the old man, intending for me to eliminate this person?"
The old man frowned at the Liu Family Head.
The Liu Family Head nodded: "Precisely, this boy’s potential is terrifying, if one day he truly ascends to the Emperor Realm, even if he doesn’t act, others will, to curry favor, move against my Liu Family."
"His existence is a significant threat to my Liu Family; I earnestly beseech the ancestor to act and eradicate him!"
