Chapter 1046 - 953: Promotion to Supreme Elder
True Ancestor World.
Hall of the Forbidden Seer.
Huihe, Hui’an, and many other Supreme Elders had already been waiting for several days.
During this time, they, as Ban Explorers, didn’t dare to venture out casually.
“I don’t know whether a method to break the Nine Laws has been found in the Grey Mist Sea…”
“Now, the practice of the Nine Laws is in full swing throughout the True Ancestor World. Just in these few days, several Nine Laws Gatekeepers have emerged… Ascendant Path followers are likely to emerge in large numbers before long.”
“If this continues, we won’t be able to maintain our standing in the True Ancestor World.”
All the elders were extremely worried.
“There’s also another matter—Hui Si has died, and the status of those three pieces of the Ban Master’s Bone is unknown… We must dispatch someone immediately to search for them!”
Huihe spoke in a deep voice.
The others nodded in agreement.
The corpse bones of the Forbidden Master were too important.
“Report!”
Outer Sect Elder Wan Chongyun, with a look of joy on his face, walked into the hall and said,
“I have something to report to all the Supreme Elders. Ao Wushuang and Song Jiyuan have both returned alive!”
“They have brought back the three pieces of the True Bone of the Ban Master!”
Upon hearing this, all the Supreme Elders in the hall were stunned.
“What… These two actually returned alive?”
“They brought back the True Bone… Let them in quickly!”
Everyone was overjoyed.
Soon, two men entered the hall.
They were unmistakably Ao Wushuang and Song Jiyuan!
For both of them, it was their first time entering such a top-secret location, so they appeared somewhat nervous.
“Your humble servant Ao Wushuang, greets all the elders!”
“Your humble servant Song Jiyuan, greets all the elders!”
Both of them bowed their respects.
“No need for formalities,”
Huihe spoke, concern in his voice:
“Where are the True Bones of the Ban Master?”
Ao Wushuang immediately produced a Jade Box, inside which were precisely the three pieces of True Bone.
These pieces had fully revitalized, their cracks gone, and were covered in blood vessels.
Seeing this, the eyes of the many Supreme Elders were filled with excitement.
“It’s truly revived!”
“They actually brought it back safe and sound… Impressive, these two!”
“To have survived from such Dragon Pools and Tiger Dens, and more so, to have completed their task perfectly… these two are truly blessed by the heavens!”
They couldn’t help but exclaim.
They all understood just how treacherous this mission on Tianjiang Continent had been.
The ten great overlords had all perished.
Under such circumstances, Ao and Song managed to achieve this feat…
Their performance was exceptionally brilliant, outstanding, and downright defied the heavens.
But just then, the coffin behind them suddenly started banging as if something was striking it in a rapid succession.
“Look, even the Ban Master seems very pleased…”
Interpreter Master Huihe couldn’t help but say.
Inside the coffin, the Ban Master: “…”
It was rendered speechless; it wasn’t happy, it was terrified…
But it couldn’t resist anymore, trapped under the pressure of the two leg bones!
Outside, Huihe stepped forward and took the Jade Box, all
“Very good, very good!”
Were somewhat excited, and with a sweeping gesture, said:
“You two have accomplished great feats and have shown unwavering loyalty to the Ban Master… I have decided to promote you both to Supreme Elders!”
“From this day forward, you shall have a seat within this hall of the prohibition!”
Saying this, he also looked toward Hui’an and others, asking:
“Does anyone object?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“It’s only right!”
“Such talents are most fitting to be Supreme Elders!”
Unanimous approval!
“Congratulations to the new Supreme Elders!”
Outer Sect Elder Wan Chongyun hurriedly stepped forward to offer his congratulations.
Jealousy filled his eyes.
Not long ago, Ao Wushuang and Song Jiyuan were just small, unknown members of the organization…
And in just a few short months, both had attained the rank of Supreme Elder!
Such a rapid ascent…
Who wouldn’t feel envious?
And Song Jiyuan at this moment was bursting with excitement!
“I… I’ve become a Supreme Elder??”
Tears filled his eyes.
It felt like a beggar had suddenly become Emperor, like a dream.
He turned, wiped away tears, and looked at Ao Wushuang, saying:
“Brother, we’ve finally made it through!”
Ao Wushuang, however, was somewhat stupefied.
Absorbing all of someone’s Ban Master’s Bone, and yet they still granted him such a high status…
He felt inexplicably uneasy and somewhat hollow inside…
“Alright, now let’s hurry and send the Ban Master’s bones in.”
Immediately, Huihe and the others opened the White Bone Coffin.
Three True Bones instantly entered it.
From inside the coffin, there suddenly came a crackling sound.
“The Ban Master is really pleased, listen!”
Huihe spoke.
The others were also filled with anticipation!
Only Ao Wushuang remained with a somewhat vacant expression on his face…
Through the coffin, he distinctly felt…
The bones he had absorbed were now…
Clearly, inside, they were pummeling the parts he had not absorbed!
Damn…
Was this a rebellion?
Ao Wushuang panicked at once, hoping they would fight it out quietly, so no one would discover.
Otherwise, he would definitely be finished.
The moment this thought occurred to him, the noise inside the coffin quieted considerably!
…
“We have news,”
At this moment, suddenly, a sinister voice sounded in the great hall.
Everyone sharply turned around.
Elder Du had silently appeared.
“Greetings, Elder Du!”
Huihe and the others promptly paid their respects.
Ao Wushuang and Song Jiyuan, clueless, also followed suit in paying their respects.
“A truly important figure from the Grey Mist Sea is about to arrive in the True Ancestor World!”
Elder Du announced,
“You must immediately prepare, especially the Wall of Corpses, it’s unpredictably dangerous, and we must open a gap for that important figure!”
Upon hearing this, Huihe and the rest were startled.
An important figure…
Could it be someone above a hegemon?
“We obey!”
They spoke in unison.
“Who are you?”
Suddenly, Elder Du frowned and turned his gaze toward Ao Wushuang.
Huihe reported, “Reporting to Elder Du, this man is a newly promoted Supreme Elder.”
“He and Song Jiyuan have brought back the Ban Master’s Bone from perilous places on several occasions, their merits are immense. Just as there were two openings for Supreme Elders, we unanimously agreed to promote them!”
Elder Du nodded, saying:
“Very good… The newly appointed Supreme Elders must accomplish new feats for the organization.”
He ominously continued,
“The Ban Master still has three bones that haven’t been revived. You two take them and go greet that important figure from the Grey Mist Sea.”
Having said this, he opened the White Bone Coffin, and three True Bones instantly appeared.
Placed into the Jade Box, they were handed to Ao Wushuang.
Ao Wushuang received the Jade Box, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, it was packed in a Jade Box if it were held in his own hands directly…then he would have been exposed on the spot.
“We obey, we’ll certainly do our best!”
Song Jiyuan spoke up delightedly, newly promoted Supreme Elder full of energy.
At once, the two of them left with the Ban Master’s True Bones.
“Also, Hui’an, Huisha, the two of you go with them.”
Elder Du suddenly spoke again.
Hui’an and Huisha immediately paid their respects and set off.
“Elder Du, is there a problem?”
Huihe sensed something amiss and cautiously questioned Elder Du.
Elder Du shook his head, saying:
“This Ao Wushuang…I can’t see through him, he might be problematic.”
“I’ve already sent a message to have Hui’an kill him immediately after the activation of the Ban Master’s Bone!”
He was ruthless; even without certainty, a mere suspicion…
Was enough!
Huihe’s face turned stern.
“Contact the Sacrificial Temple quickly. The Wall of Corpses affair should be left to them, that’s more appropriate.”
“If we can close this successfully, we… might all be able to go to the Grey Mist Sea.”
Upon hearing this, Huihe and the others grew even more excited, saying:
“I will contact Elder Grandson Changqing immediately.”
“He has already rooted out the traitor from within the Sacrificial Temple, our previous plans failed more or less because of that Ji Wulu. Now, with Elder Grandson Changqing involved, it should be very secure!”
Elder Du nodded and immediately turned to leave.
