Chapter 242 Powerhouse of the Old Era (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Chapter 242 Powerhouse of the Old Era (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Within the Eastern Province.
Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.
Once Ao Yu led a group from the Wayless Sect past the boundary of the Sect's territory.
Chu Yuan, perched atop the dragon's head, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having entered the Wayless Sect, he felt secure.
The treasures in his embrace were now safely his, absolutely beyond the reach of thieves.
There's no place like home.
In Zhongzhou, he had felt no sense of security.
Fearful that his assumed identity would be exposed, he might have been unable to return.
But on the other hand,
In East State, he seemed to be not that safe either.
He had assumed the identity of the East State Hidden Sect Master and had put on quite an act in front of so many bigshots.
His own disciple, carrying the name of the East State Hidden Sect, even snatched first place; if he were truly the East State Hidden Sect Master, they would have come knocking on his door within minutes.
At this thought, Chu Yuan couldn't help but shudder.
This won't do; his lair was here, and there was no escaping.
He could only strive to cultivate his worthless disciple, who must grow up soon, so even if the true East State Hidden Sect did come, it would be futile.
As long as he became invincible, he would be able to make the real Sect Master of the East State Hidden Sect kneel on the ground and call him 'father'.
Yes, now the most important thing was to train the worthless disciple.
Within the Wu Dao Sect Mountain Gate.
Chu Yuan turned his head towards Su Xi, who was at the very end of the procession, and an idea flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, we're back at the Sect, so go about your business. Xi Er, come with me. Luo Er, do as you see fit. You can wander around the Sect or go down the mountain if you wish. The rest of you as well, do as you please."
"As for you, Bai Zhe, go to the residential area for the disciples, and choose a palace to settle in."
Chu Yuan casually ordered everyone.
Having said his piece,
He didn't bother to take another look at the others and strode towards the Great Hall Square of the Wayless Sect.
Su Xi timidly glanced at her fellow disciples.
"Elder Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Sister, I will go up first."
Su Xi said to her fellow disciples in turn and then gave a small curtsy to Baize.
Only then did she chase after Chu Yuan with a trot.
The figures of Chu Yuan and Su Xi gradually disappeared from their view.
Seeing this scene,
Baize had wanted to leave as well.
But just as he lifted his foot to step away, he suddenly stopped.
It was as if he sensed something and turned his head towards Ye Luo and the other three.
Ye Luo and the others were staring at him.
Their gazes collided.
A smile hung on Baize's aged face,
Looking at Ye Luo and the others with satisfaction.
At this moment,
He resembled an elder who had traversed endless ages, admiring the younger generation.
Ye Luo and the others felt uncomfortable under Baize's gaze.
Although their Respected Master and this elder were of the same generation,
It did not mean they had to address him as a senior.
"Do you have something for us, young friends?"
Baize spoke with a cheerful smile, devoid of any imposing aura of a strong cultivator.
All that was present was the desolation of a hunchbacked old man.
"Nothing much, we were just curious about your identity, senior. May we know who you are?"
Zhang Han inquired with a warm smile.
Ye Luo, Su Qianyuan, and Dantai Luoxue did not speak, but their intentions were the same.
They wanted to know the identity of this elder.
To be called a 'fellow Daoist' by their master proved his extraordinariness, considering that the representatives of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects had to address their master as senior.
Yet they couldn't see through this elder, their discomfort mixed with curiosity.
This prompted their question here.
"Me? Who am I, you ask? Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. You might as well think of me as a peer from the same era as your master,"
Baize said, shaking his head; he didn't want to dwell too much on this topic.
Upon hearing this,
Ye Luo and the other three were stunned.
From the same era as their master???
Their master belonged to which era exactly? An unknown era before the ancient era...
If this elder was from the same era as their master, then does that mean this elder also hailed from that unknown era?
It took Ye Luo and the others quite some while to recover slightly. They exchanged looks, somewhat disbelieving.

Zhang Han stepped forward and asked again.
"Then... senior, can you prove that you truly belong to the same era as our master?"
"Ah, it's not that we don't believe you, but as you know, the era when our master existed is so incredible that we can't help but feel some... doubt,"
Zhang Han had changed his address to 'you' and spoke with a hint of jest, giving due respect.
"That's something you could verify with your master, but today I am somewhat intrigued. So there's no need for you to go and verify it yourself. I will show you what an old-era powerhouse looks like."
Baize said with a chuckle.
Having said this,
His golden pupils flickered with light passing through them.
With one step forward,
A terrifying aura burst forth from his body like an erupting volcano, suppressing all opposition from heaven and earth.
Behind him, the phantom of a bizarre creature with the body of a lion, a single horn on its head, and a goat's beard on its face manifested, roaring skyward as if to obliterate the opposition of the world completely.
"This is what a powerhouse from the old era looks like!"
Baize's eyes, covered by golden light, looked down upon Ye Luo and the other three...
