Chapter 267: Fake Disciple?
The gray-haired young man glanced at Bai Zhijing and stepped into the forbidden area.
Bai Zhijing was stunned.
This was impossible!
The forbidden area didn’t attack him. Who was he?
Bai Zhijing quickly caught up to him.
She took another step and her hair turned completely white.
She quickly retreated.
She was at the peak of the Gui Yuan Realm, but couldn’t resist the erosion of time in the forbidden area. Yet, that person had easily entered.
Who was he?
Not only the restrictive formation did not attack, he was not even afraid of the erosion of time.
He was a human!
There was not even a trace of the demon aura around him.
If he was an orc, the forbidden area would definitely attack him.
It couldn’t distinguish the disciples of the mysterious Heaven sect from outsiders. However, the auras of the orcs and humans were so different that the formation in the forbidden area could not be mistaken.
This person was at least an Immortal Formation Realm powerhouse and a human.
He appeared in the mysterious Sky sect and entered the forbidden area after glancing at her.
What did he mean?
“Is… is he the Patriarch?”
After a long while, Bai Zhijing finally reacted.
No!
The patriarch did not look like this!
Wait a second.
After reaching the Immortal Formation Realm, it was easy to change appearances.
Besides, what if this person was another patriarch?
Who said that there was only one patriarch in the Mysterious Sky Sect?
Even if this person was not a patriarch, she could not let him go so easily.
Bai Zhijing thought a lot in an instant and circled around the forbidden area several times.
“No, I have to wait here for him to come out.”
Now that the Mysterious Sky Sect was in danger, how could the Patriarch escape into the forbidden area?
He stayed there for the whole afternoon.
Bai Zhijing simply lay down outside the forbidden area and watched the entrance with her spiritual sense.
Half a day passed.
That guy’s strength was at least at the first level of the Semi-god Realm.
Bai Zhijing counted the time.
When she was young, she had heard about the situation in the forbidden area from her master.
A half-step Semi-god Realm warrior could only stay in the forbidden area for half an hour at most. If he didn’t come back within half an hour, he would never be able to come back.
After cultivating the Limitless Technique, her senior brother was already a half-step Semi-god Realm warrior and he would have to come out after entering the forbidden land for an instant
Only veteran half-step Semi-god Realm warriors could stay in there for half an hour.
The person had stayed in there for half a day, so he must be at least at the first level of the Semi-god Realm.
“He must be the Patriarch!”
In the entire human race, there was no news about another Semi-god realm Warriors other than the Patriarch.
The night passed and Bai Zhijing’s expression changed.
It had been one night, but the progenitor still hadn’t come out.
She had been watching with her supernatural awareness.
“It has been so long. Anyone below the second level of the Semi-god Realm can not stay so long and be alive.”
What a surprise!
But she was also worried.
“Is the Patriarch okay?”
Maybe something on him that could protect him from the erosion of time.
Bai Zhijing tossed and turned. She sat up to cultivate, but she was afraid that she would miss that person.
But if she didn’t cultivate, she couldn’t calm down.
“If only senior brother were here. Sigh, it’s a pity that I can’t leave now. I can’t report the situation here to him.”
Forget it!
Dang!
The bell rang again.
Something must have happened in the sect again.
Bai Zhijing was anxious, but she couldn’t leave.
The bell rang for a long time before it stopped.
In the afternoon, Wang Qian’an dragged his exhausted body to the edge of the forbidden area.
“I’m here to get some peace.”
Seeing Bai Zhijing’s astonished expression, he spoke first.
“Senior brother, what happened?”
“The Viper and the Iron Fire Scorpion Demon dug a hole to launch a sneak attack, but they were discovered.”
“Did we suffer casualties?”
“Two chief disciples died in battle, and one elder was seriously injured.”
“So serious!”
Bai Zhijing was shocked.
“The purpose of this sneak attack is probably to test whether the Patriarch is really in the sect.”
Wang Qian’an let out a long sigh.
“If I were a demon, I would do the same. If the Patriarch isn’t here, I’ll attack directly. If he is, I’ll wait and see.”
After saying that, Wang Qian’an stared at Bai Zhijing.
“Senior brother, I saw the Patriarch yesterday.”
“Oh? Are you sure?”
Wang Qian’an was stunned.
There really was a patriarch?
Then, Bai Zhijing told him about yesterday’s incident.
“Our master once said that the last patriarch entered the forbidden area in a bronze coffin through a teleportation array. They always used a teleportation array to enter and leave the forbidden area.”
Wang Qian’an frowned.
“Could it be that he isn’t the Patriarch?”
“That doesn’t make sense! If he isn’t, the array formation inside the forbidden area would definitely have a reaction. Such a powerhouse can’t stay outside even after entering the forbidden area. On the short way to the core area there are countless array formations to detect him.”
Wang Qian’an shook his head.
He even suspected that Bai Zhijing was hallucinating.
“If he really is the Patriarch, then it’s useless to wait for him here. Senior brother, do you know where the teleportation array is?”
“I’ll go to the teleportation array.”
Wang Qian’an disappeared with a whoosh.
A moment later, he returned.
“That’s not right! Master and a few of the deceased elders once described the appearance of the Patriarch. His hair and beard are white, definitely not gray hair as you saw, and he definitely does not have a young face,” Wang Qian’an said.
Bai Zhijing just looked at her senior brother.
The pressure on her senior brother these two days was so great that he was almost unhinged.
“Senior brother, I’ve already said that he isn’t that Patriarch. What if he is Li Jiao’s old ancestor? He’s a great figure who has lived for who knows how many years. He must have a way to resist the erosion of time!” Bai Zhijing shook her head.
It had only been a short day, and her senior brother had forgotten such an important piece of information.
“The forbidden area is eroded by time. Even hiding in those cave abodes is useless. What’s more, after so many years, it’s impossible for him to look younger.”
“What if he broke through and reached a realm that we can’t even imagine?”
Hiss!
Wang Qian’an sucked in a breath of cold air.
How high must one’s cultivation level be to have such achievements?
Bai Zhijing stared at Wang Qian’an, feeling that he was acting strangely today.
The pressure from the demons was too great.
Wang Qian’an observed the place for a long time before leaving.
After returning to the main hall, he gave an elder a task, which was to go to the teleportation array to take a look.
The elder didn’t suspect anything and rushed to the teleportation array.
Wang Qian’an followed the elder.
At the edge of the forbidden area at the back of the mountain, Bai Zhijing gradually calmed down.
“Why did senior brother look so weird whenever the patriarch is mentioned?”
“Because he isn’t your senior brother!”
Swoosh!
A figure appeared behind Bai Zhijing.
Bai Zhijing turned her head and saw the gray-haired young man carrying a bronze coffin was walking out of the forbidden area.
As he walked closer, the young man’s face became clearer and clearer.
Bai Zhijing activated her spiritual sense but still couldn’t detect the young man in front of her.
It was as if he was just air.
In the forbidden area, her spiritual sense couldn’t touch him. But now he was already outside the forbidden area, and her spiritual sense still couldn’t touch him.
A powerhouse.
“You… why did you say that?”
“What you saw just now was the demon spy. Your senior brother is still in the main hall discussing matters! The sect is under attack, and there’re lots of things to do. How could he leave?”
Li Mu threw the bronze coffin to the side.
This time, he entered the forbidden area and found a pile of treasures, but most of them were useless.
Only the inscriptions on the bronze coffin were interesting, and he couldn’t stay inside for a long time, so he brought it out.
“He is my senior brother! Besides, he knows that the last Patriarch entered…”
Bai Zhijing stopped.
Many elders knew that the last Patriarch entered the forbidden area.
This was not a secret.
In fact, everyone in the world knew about the mysterious patriarch of the Mysterious Sky Sect.
Thinking back carefully, she realized that her senior brother had tried to get information from her.
