Chapter 1092 - 325: [Ancestor’s Decree] (Part 3)

"Alright, I am not the one from Dongchuan Lake." Chen Yan quickly said, "That counts as the first question, you have two more chances."

The young Lu Kang was not annoyed, smiled and said, "Alright, let me ask you the second question, are you the one from Yin Yang Mountain?"

"No." Chen Yan shook his head.

Only then did young Lu Kang lower his head in thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I dare not rashly speak the remaining question, I’ll ask you again later."

Though his words said as much, he sat for less than two minutes before looking up at Chen Yan, smiled and said, "I have it, now I’ll ask you the third question. Just the third question, I won’t guess the name directly but ask you something, you tell me the answer, and then I’ll say the name, alright?"

Chen Yan remained calm, slowly picked up a cup of tea and sipped it, "Alright.

But fellow Daoist are you sure? This is your last question, once asked, you will have to say my name, if you get it wrong, you lose."

The young Lu Kang laughed heartily, whispered, "Have we met anywhere else recently?"

Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat!

He pretended to bow his head in thought, then sighed lightly, "Yes."

Chen Yan dared not lie—in front of a Saint, lying might cause fluctuations in one’s breath and destiny to be noticed at any time.

In front of a Saint, if you want to hide something, you can remain silent but must not lie to their face!

Otherwise, subtle fluctuations in breath and especially changes in destiny might be discerned by them.

When Chen Yan was speaking with the young man, his words were ambiguous, even if he spoke less or not at all, he would never utter a lie.

The young man’s eyes lit up!

He suddenly took a deep breath, "Your tone and manner... huh?"

His expression suddenly turned solemn, his face was now cautious, "Me, if we’ve seen recently... you might be Celestial Net Earth Venerable, face to face?"

Earth Venerable?

Chen Yan smiled, looked at young Lu Kang, "You lost."

Though Lu Kang guessed wrong, he wasn’t annoyed; on the contrary, when Chen Yan denied being "Celestial Net Earth Venerable," he showed relief instead.

"Alright, my nature as this avatar is just jumpy and restless, and I went through the three chances too quickly, all guessed wrong."

Young Lu Kang sighed, "Forget it, I’ll admit defeat. So, whom are you really?"

Chen Yan smiled faintly, "We only said bet, not necessarily that I have to tell you the correct answer if you lose. Next time we meet, I’ll tell you, fellow Daoist."

Meet again?

Or never again!

Chen Yan thought with a wry smile.

"Alright then." Although young Lu Kang was a Saint’s avatar, despite the jumpy nature, the original personality was present. Seeing Chen Yan say thus, he nodded: "There, I owe fellow Daoist a wager."

After saying this, he raised his hand and gently stroked the table, an oval-shaped jade token appeared on the table.

"My avatar will travel outside for hundred years, if you meet my true self and want me to fulfill the wager, just give this jade token to my true self."

Chen Yan smiled, said nothing, slowly picked it up and placed it into his sleeve.

At that moment, suddenly the surrounding chatter fell silent!

Chen Yan and young Lu Kang stopped talking, looked northwards upfront.

Saw two distinguished members of the Ghost Race arrived in front of the foremost two cushions!

On the left was a skinny old man, with dark skin but bright eyes, wearing a short shirt of the Ghost Race embroidered with vibrant patterns.

And on the right, Chen Yan’s eyes suddenly flickered!

What the heck?

Brother Xiaohai!!

East Sea Sword Cultivator!

Chen Yan looked at Brother Xiaohai, with just one glance he could ascertain, this was the real East Sea Sword Cultivator, not the fraud he met before.

Beside him, young Lu Kang sighed lightly, but with a slight hint of surprise in his tone.

"East Sea has evil qi, that’s unusual. Seems like there’ll be some bloody affairs here today."

Chen Yan heard young Lu Kang’s whispered comment, his face remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a few beats.

The skinny old man above slowly opened his mouth, "Gentlemen, I am Mu Ya, elder in charge of rituals of the Black Wood Tribe, today originally under the Yama’s command, to tell everyone the matters concerning the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony.

However, currently, there’s another matter, the one beside me, is Sword Master under our tribe’s ancestor’s command, sent by the ancestor with a decree, to convey something to everyone."

After saying this, the old man retreated a step, letting East Sea stand ahead, and slightly bowed.

This gesture quickly made the descendants of the Noble Sect present react.

Soon, the descendants of the Noble Sect took the lead to stand up, and though the Loose Cultivators were not proficient with these etiquettes, they rose as well.

Chen Yan and young Lu Kang followed the crowd, couldn’t just sit anymore.

Among the crowd, it was unclear which Noble Sect disciple took the initiative to bow first, then loudly led the call, "We meet Lord Sword Master! Respectfully accept Saint’s decree!"

Following his lead, others also bowed one after another, loudly echoed, "Respectfully accept Saint’s decree!"

Within the throng, Chen Yan also bowed with the others, deliberately glanced at young Lu Kang.

Noticing this Saint Venerable, unexpectedly, bowed without hesitation, unbothered by it.

Hmm, is this guy a performance personality?

East Sea stood there, expression stern, waited till the crowd finished its address before speaking, his voice still carrying that antiquated tone Chen Yan remembered.

"I don’t like to say much, so I’ll speak plainly.

I’m going to call out names below, please step forward."

Pausing, East Sea slowly read out the first name: "Jiang Liu!"

As soon as this name was spoken, someone in the crowd raised his head, his expression carrying some heaviness, some restrained panic.

And coincidentally, the one named Jiang Liu was the first to greet East Sea!

This person wore a robe from a Noble Sect, although his expression was complicated, he took a deep breath and still respectfully said, "I don’t know why Lord Sword Master calls my name..."

East Sea coldly said, "Step aside, after I finish reading all the names, I’ll naturally speak to you."

Chen Yan was curious, but in his ear, he heard a subtle sound, it was young Lu Kang using a spell to transmit.

"East Sea is going to kill."

Chen Yan was stunned, then he heard Lu Kang continue, "he is already gathering killing intent as he speaks. Hmph, the first swordsmanship he practiced in childhood, I once corrected three moves for him, so I am most familiar with his gathering killing intent.

Now he is gathering killing intent, when the list is complete, he might strike."

Kill?

Chen Yan’s heart shuddered!

However, when East Sea slowly read the second name...

"Lu Kang."

Chen Yan: "..."

Young Lu Kang: "..."
