Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey Chapter 1376: Rumors

Xia Xin walked in, looked at Fu’er and Master Wu, and sighed, "Just got back."

Fu’er stood up and asked, "Why did only you co back? What about the old ancestor? We didn’t follow for the second round at Laoshan, how did your competition results turn out?"

Xia Xin mumbled, recounting the events that happened inside Laoshan to the both of them.

Then he began to speak about Dangshan.

"I don’t know what the old ancestor was thinking, maybe it’s because Dangshan is very dangerous now, and the old ancestor was worried I might be in danger? He suddenly told to co back and even opened a formation gateway for . Qing Yue and I returned directly from Dangshan."

Fu’er exclaid, "Dangshan? What were you doing in a place like Dangshan?"

Xia Xin replied, "The third round of the competition was at Dangshan."

Upon hearing this, Fu’er furrowed his brows deeply.

"Why would they choose Dangshan?"

Xia Xin could hear a hint of sothing off in his tone, and couldn’t help but ask, "Why can’t they choose Dangshan?"

Fu’er said, "Haven’t you heard? There’s a Ghost King in Dangshan."

Xia Xin was surprised, "You know about this?"

Fu’er hesitated for a mont, "You heard about it too?"

Xia Xin sighed, "Not only did I hear about it, but we ran into that Ghost King directly, and there seed to be soone from Xuann helping him. In front of the old ancestor, he actually escaped."

Fu’er stroked his chin, slowly sat down, "How could this be? I rember, there’s a formation there, the one I set up. Though my cultivation base is nothing compared to the old ancestor, a general Xuann disciple shouldn’t be able to break my formation."

Xia Xin’s eyes widened, "That sealing formation, you set it up?"

Fu’er nodded, "Yes..."

Master Wu couldn’t help but interject, "So, that seal has been there for a long ti?"

Fu’er nodded, "It should be. I rember at that ti, Dangshan was in chaos, and the nearby people were suffering, so I went to investigate. But the Ghost King’s evil qi was too strong, I couldn’t eradicate him, only use a sealing formation. Oh, right... this was shortly after the old ancestor went into seclusion."

Xia Xin said, "That long ago?"

Fu’er replied, "Yes, I rember, even when the old ancestor was around, there were rumors of the cries of ten thousand ghosts inside Dangshan. But the old ancestor then didn’t have ti to deal with Dangshan, so the matter was postponed."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin continued to ask, "What was the old ancestor doing then? I heard from Qing Yue... 800 years ago before the old ancestor went into seclusion, he killed many Xuann disciples?"

Fu’er was imdiately incensed upon hearing this, "Who the hell is talking nonsense? How could that be possible? At that ti, it was clearly soone secretly taking action, Xuann disciples kept disappearing one after another. The old ancestor didn’t have ti to deal with everything inside Dangshan because he was searching for those disciples."

Xia Xin said, "Soone secretly taking action?"

Fu’er replied, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but I rember the old ancestor ntioned once that the disappearance of those Xuann disciples was no ordinary matter, like sothing intentional. At that ti, the old ancestor left, taking Tianxuan with him to find the whereabouts of those disciples. Before leaving, he told all of us to stay at Jiaoyang Temple, to not roam outside casually. We stayed at the temple, and after a few days, the old ancestor appeared heavily injured in the ditation room at the back of Jiaoyang Temple."

Xia Xin said, "So, the matter of the old ancestor killing many Xuann disciples was just a rumor?"

Fu’er glared with his eyes wide open, "Of course it’s a rumor! I’m still here, I saw those events with my own eyes back then, wouldn’t I know? Who the hell is spreading nonsense, how did it get twisted into the old ancestor killing people?"
