898 Is This Thing Reliable?

Just as the old locust tree was letting its imagination run wild, a white figure slowly landed on the peak.

Thank you readers!

Under the moonlight, the change in his eyes could not be seen, but it was not difficult to see that the corner of his mouth twitched after hearing the old locust tree’s series of chatter.

Ye Qiu came here with great anticipation. However, what he heard were the useless words of the old locust tree. He immediately felt very speechless.

Was this thing really reliable?

Ye Qiu had once heard that there was a huge beast sleeping on the Heavenly Saint Mountain in the north.

He was the ancestral guardian spirit that the Heavenly Saint Mountain had worshiped for tens of thousands of years. He was omnipotent and had protected the Heavenly Saint Mountain for countless years. He was respected and enjoyed the admiration of everyone in the entire holy land.

Usually, the power of an existence like the Ancestral Guardian Spirit was definitely not just for show. Therefore, many holy lands and even large clans worshiped a powerful ancestral guardian spirit to protect the existence of peace.

There was also an ancestral guardian spirit in the Heaven Mending holy land, which was the old locust tree in front of Ye Qiu. Before he came, Ye Qiu came with great expectations, hoping to obtain some help from it here.

However, after hearing its series of useless words just now, Ye Qiu doubted himself.

Wasn’t this trip a little unnecessary?

“Hmm… Could it be that it was deliberately pretending?” Ye Qiu pondered. Perhaps the Ancestral Guardian Spirit had sensed his arrival in advance and deliberately pretended to be very afraid.

This was hard to say. After all, in this world, the temper of the truly capable experts was very strange.

With suspicion, Ye Qiu decided to observe again. At the very least, he was already certain that the mysterious expert in the void crack should have sensed the Ancestral Guardian Spirit’s powerful mental strength, so he didn’t dare to attack.

To be able to have such a powerful soul, it could be seen that no matter how trash it was, it should have a certain level of ability.

“Hehe… I’m indeed extremely smart. It’s decided. In the future, if I encounter anyone powerful, I’ll pretend to be dead. As long as I attack, I’ll never lose. In any case, there shouldn’t be anyone in this world who would be so bored as to mess around with a wooden lump, right?” The more the old locust tree thought about it, the more it felt that its plan was too evil. It revealed an evil smile in embarrassment.

It was just that the children below would suffer. But then again, they were all good youths. At this age, they should bear more.

After all, you’re all grown up. You should learn to solve your own troubles.

As it was thinking, the old locust tree glanced over and suddenly saw a white figure standing on a mountain not far away, looking at it blankly. “Oh f*ck… When did this person come?”

Damn, it was so engrossed that it didn’t notice when someone was standing there. In an instant, the old locust tree was dumbfounded. Could it be that he had heard its words just now?

What should I do? If word got out, wouldn’t my reputation be completely ruined in the future? Damn it, damn it…

It had been careless.

No matter what, I am still a dignified Ancestral Guardian Spirit. Although I am a little cowardly, I still need my reputation. Otherwise, how could it gain a foothold among these young juniors in the future?

According to the old locust tree’s thoughts, as long as I don’t die for tens of thousands of years, I can survive to the end as long as I’m indifferent.

It relied on its shamelessness and arrogance to deceive the young people at the foot of the mountain. They all thought that it was a peerless expert and respected it incomparably. It could be said that it was doing well.

The power of faith obtained from them continuously healed the injuries in its body. After so many years, it finally grew a new sprout.

But now, its cowardly personality seems to have been discovered. If word got out, how could it freeload on faith in the future?

For a moment, the old locust tree was flustered and thought hard of a countermeasure.

“Hmm, no, looks like I have to silence him!” After thinking about it seriously, the old locust tree even had the thought of killing to silence him.

However, when it looked at Ye Qiu, its eyes were filled with meaning. Killing him was the last resort. The main problem was whether it could defeat him, so it would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, judging from this person’s background, he should be a disciple of the Heaven Mending holy land. As the Ancestral Guardian Spirit, it could not bear to kill him.

“Hmm… Don’t panic, don’t panic. I have to calm down and probe him first. There might be a turning point.” After thinking for a while, the old locust tree panicked, but it was exceptionally calm on the surface.

Those who didn’t know better were really bewitched by its temperament. It looked like an otherworldly expert, calm and composed.

“Hmm, there’s something strange.” Ye Qiu watched carefully. In just a few seconds, he clearly felt that the old locust tree’s emotions were fluctuating greatly. However, in the blink of an eye, its entire body emitted an endless aura. It was like a peerless expert who could control the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.

It was as if he could overturn the world with a flick of his finger.

Ye Qiu didn’t know if this was an illusion, but at least he felt it. It was also possible that the old locust tree’s unique ability could make people unconsciously fall into an illusion, giving them the feeling that they were very powerful and not to provoke them.

Ye Qiu slowly flew over with suspicion and landed on the platform.

“Disciple Ye Qiu greets the Ancestral Guardian Spirit!” Ye Qiu cupped his hands and bowed.

The old locust tree saw this and said, “There’s a chance.” He shouldn’t have heard what it said just now, right? Suppressing the panic in its heart, it said calmly, “Yes, young man, why are you here?”

Unknowingly, an incomparably powerful mental strength dyed the entire peak. Ye Qiu’s body trembled and he was clearly shocked. “What a powerful aura. No wonder that mysterious expert retreated without fighting. Could it be that this Senior Ancestral Guardian Spirit is really a peerless expert?”

Ye Qiu became even more suspicious when he recalled what the First Elder had said.

This mental strength could not be faked, but it really existed. Therefore, Ye Qiu had no choice but to suspect that the Ancestral Guardian Spirit’s actions just now were to confuse him.

But what was the point of what it did?

Unable to figure it out, Ye Qiu still said, “Senior, the battle in front of the mountain just now was a strange invasion. The mountain was in chaos. I’m worried about Senior’s safety and specially came to check. At the same time, I want to ask Senior to answer my confusion.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the old locust tree’s heart trembled, but it was incomparably calm on the surface.

You’re here for what happened just now?

The old locust tree thought that from Ye Qiu’s expression, he shouldn’t know that he had been insta-killed by the Corpse Ancestor.

In that case, it knew what to do. Hehe…

“Yes, I already know what happened in front of the mountain.”

Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up. It turned out that this Ancestral Guardian Spirit had been paying attention to the battle in front of the mountain.

Then why didn’t it attack? Ye Qiu pondered for a moment. Could it be that the Corpse Ancestor’s strength wasn’t worthy of it personally taking action?

Yes… that was very likely.

After all, the reason why the mysterious expert in the crack did not attack was because he was afraid of its existence. It had been confronting that mysterious expert when Ye Qiu was dealing with the Corpse Ancestor.

This explanation made sense.
