Chapter 126 - Back To Work

"The issue with the phoenix family is of small matter, what we really need to talk about is the discovery of this entity they elder Luke is talking about" said the grand elder with a frown on his face.

"That is right, there has not been any report of it the other time that the ruin was open so happened this time around" commented the family head as he placed his hand on the chin.

"Maybe at that time he was in a dormant state which is why it was not noticed" suggested one of the elders.

"That could be true cause according to the report that elder Luke gave us, it says that it has been imprisoned inside the ruin for a very long time" reply the family head.

"So now what do you think we should do about it" asked elder Luke.

"Since we can't get inside the ruin to see for ourselves and get rid of it, we will have to go into a meeting with the other family and seal the ruin for good to avoid calamity" replied the grand elder.

"I don't think sealing the ruin will be a good idea since it has already been tampered with previously, I don't see why it won't be again" said the family head.

"Ah, I don't think the other family will agree for the gateway to be destroyed since it is a treasure vault for them" replied the grand elder with a sigh.

"Well it won't hurt to give it a try since they were also a victim to this strange entity's activities inside the ruin" said elder Luke.

"Alright then, schedule a meeting with them. Since there is nothing else to talk about, I will be taking my leave" replied the grand elder as he excused himself from the hall.

But before he could walk far, the family head suddenly could out to him.

"About the matter with the phoenix family, how do you think we should address the matter" asked the family head.

"Since elder George did not lay his hand on him, just give them a warning and if it were to repeat itself again, then they should be prepared for war" replied the grand elder before walking out.

After the grand elder left the hall, the rest began to discuss how to go with the meeting before leaving. Meanwhile, while the meeting was going on, Jason didn't even spare some time with Austin before walking out to meet his mother and sister who had been waiting for him to return.

Just when Jason stepped into the area while their tent was, he hadn't even walked up to where the tent was located when he saw Hannah running out with a smile on her face as she threw herself at him.

"How did you know that I was back" asked Jason in surprise.

"Mother informed me of your arrival the moment she scents your aura in the area" replied Hannah as she let go of him.

"Right, I actually forgot that she has recovered her cultivation" said Jason before he began to look at Hannah who had some changes to her.

And seeing the way her brother was looking at him, Hannah couldn't help but chuckle as she asked.

"Big brother, why are you looking at me like that".

"Huh, oh I am just surprised to see that you have already made it into the fifth stage of a tempered body" replied Jason.

"Haha, I knew you would be surprised when you see me like this" said Hannah with a laugh.

"You guess I am alright" replied Jason with an awkward laugh.

"Now I am not too far from catching up to you big brother" commented Hannah.

"Ah hold your horse there young lady, are you trying to compete with your big brother or what" asked Jason seeing the way Hannah is acting.

"You can say that again big brother" replied Hannah with a smile. 

"I guess you still have a lot to learn about cultivation" said Jason with a smile as he began to walk into the tent.

"Welcome back" was the word he heard the moment he stepped inside as he could see his mother sitting close to the table with a teacup in hand. 

"Greetings mother, how is your health" greeted Jason.

"As you can see, I am doing just fine. Go wash up and get something to eat before you fill me in on your adventures" replied Clara after feeling the aura that is coming out of him.

Jason quickly left with a smile to take his bath knowing fully well that he stinks since it has been three months and some days that he has taken his bath. Before coming back to the tent, it was already nighttime. 

"Now that is more like it" commented Hannah with a smile on her face after seeing Jason coming in all freshen up.

"It is surprising to see that your realm has gone up by two stages while you are inside the ruin" said Clara with a smile.

"What big brother realm has gone up by two stages" asked Hannah with a surprised look on her face.

"Yes, is there a problem with that" asked Clara.

"Not at all, damn I guess I will have to work hard with my training" replied Hannah with a serious look on her face.

When Jason heard her reply, he couldn't help but frown before turning to his mother and saying.

"I know what you thinking but you don't need to worry too much about her by the way when are you going to start telling me about your adventure" replied Clara with a smile.

"Oh that's right, I totally forgot about that" said Jason with a laugh before he begin to tell them about his time in the ruin and it took him about an hour for him to finish saying everything.

"You mean there was a powerful entity inside the ruin that has the power to possess others" asked Clara with a deep frown on her face.

"That is right mother and it was all thanks to the heavens that he has not yet completely recovered his strength cause if it were the opposite, I wouldn't have been sitting here with the two of you" replied Jason.

"Good thing you made it back alive son" said Clara as she let out a sigh of relief.

"That right, I find a lot of treasures inside the ruin" said Jason with a smile as he begin to take them out from the storage ring he was wearing.

"You mean all this were brought out from the ruin" asked Hannah as she pick up a scroll.

"You got that right, although it wasn't easy to get my hand on them for some were hiding trap" replied Jason as he brought out the pills.

"What is that pill" asked Clara as her eyes were glued to it.

"I don't know either, just decided to pick it up since it was also among the treasure and I plan to show it to the grand elder if he will know something about it" replied Jason as he passed the pill to his mother. 

After giving it a closer look and still was not able to recognize the pill, Clara gave it back to Jason as she said.

"It must be really exhausting for you in the ruin, why don't you go rest for tomorrow".

Totally agreeing with his mother's words since it has been long since he has gotten a night of good sleep, Jason left early to bed after keeping his treasures away.

Next morning.

Jason woke up feeling energized as he begin with his habit of cultivating the heavens law technique after waking up.

After he was done, Jason took breakfast before rushing to the Fox family alchemy room on the hope of getting there before Austin do only to see that Austin was already there cleaning the place.

"I see that you don't have anything doing for you to be here at this time of the morning" said Jason with a twitched face.

"What can I say, it has become a habit of mine" replied Austin with a smile.

"What about the grand elder, is he here yet" asked Jason.

"No he hasn't" replied Austin.

Just as Austin has just spoken, the grand elder suddenly appears at the rooftop as he said out loud.

"And what do you need my help with".

They were both frightened about the grand elder's appearance as they went into a fighting stance until they saw that it was the grand elder that spoke before they were able to get themselves together.

"Oh goodness, you just scared the living hell out of me" replied Jason with a breath of relief.

"I see that you two are still lacking for you not to be aware of my presence even when I am standing here" said the grand elder.

"That's because we let our guard down since we know we are safe here" replied Jason with a smile on his face.
