C379 Secrets (Part I)

"Chief Li, since the Old Ancestor has invited us, let us go in?" Yin Jingduan laughed as he spoke of Li Jialai's invitation, just like how Fan Ju invited Liu Peng to a feast.

"Chief, be careful of a trap!" Several elders of the Sword League persuaded at the same time.

"Hmph, so what if there's really a trick? Great Clan Elder, follow me in, everyone else, listen up, if anything happens between Great Clan Elder and I, you must break the siege and return to the Sword League, without delay, and tell the Old Ancestor everything that has happened here! Do you understand? " Li Jialai muttered to himself for a while, before immediately opening his mouth to speak.

"Yes, Chief!" Everyone bowed and replied in unison.

"Grand Elder, let's go!" Li Jialai turned and ordered the Great Clan Elder.

"Yes, Chief!" The Great Clan Elder was only wearing a criminal uniform. He really did not want to enter Blood Illusion Valley alone, but seeing that even the Alliance Master was acting this way, he could only grit his teeth and walk inside.

"Haha, Chief Li, good courage, I can assure you that within Blood Illusion Valley, I will not touch a single hair on your head! Rest assured, the two of you. " Yin Jingduan laughed at the sky, at this time he was truly impressed by the other party's boldness, if it was him, he would not even be able to be so heroic! Yin Jingduan promised the two of them in front of everyone else.

"Valley Master Yin, please lead the way!" Li Jialai said politely.

The three of them brought the cane of the expert of the ninth rank and walked directly into the Blood Illusion Valley. The two groups of people outside continued to confront each other, no one entered the valley, no one chose to leave! Perhaps this was the deterrence of a level nine cultivator, and no one would dare to have the slightest thoughts of resisting or disobeying it.

? ?.

Li Jialai and slowly walked into the Blood Illusion Valley. The climate inside the valley was clearly different from outside. Putting aside the fact that the warm and humid environment was more suitable for human habitation, just the abundant spiritual energy within the valley alone was a paradise for cultivators.

Li Jialai took two deep breaths greedily. It was not his first time here, but every time he entered the valley, he could not help but feel envious! It wasn't that the Sword League's base would be lacking, but who would think that their home was filled with so many treasures? However, according to the old ancestor's rules, he could risk his life to attack, but he wouldn't allow anyone to take over the enemy's headquarters, much less break their Burning Incense Charm Inheritance.

Thus, in the past hundred years, even if the two sides had different strengths, they had never destroyed each other. On the contrary, they had a few times collaborated to help each other under the invasion of foreign powers. This was all thanks to the rules set by the ancestors of the two great powers.

It was because of this that these two great powers were able to flourish to this day. When a person or force reaches the peak, what awaits them is gradual decline and extinction. The reason for this is all because of the lack of competitors. Only by constantly fighting with each other and constantly polishing themselves can one go further and let the power exist for a long time.

Li Jialai was not an idiot. He had already understood all this long ago, but his ambition and desire were constantly reminding him that his current position and height was still far from satisfying himself. He had to climb higher, walk further, and have even more! And the prerequisite for possessing all of this was to completely stomp Blood Illusion Valley beneath his feet, kick this stumbling block away, and find a new opponent.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. At least, he did not show it on his face. The reason why Li Jialai had such confidence was entirely because of his recognition of his own strength, as well as his trump card that he had never revealed before others!

The group of people didn't go too far, and under Yin Jingduan's lead, they quickly arrived at the main hall. There wasn't a single person around, and it was unknown if they had intentionally transferred there, or if they were all waiting for orders outside the valley!

The moment Li Jialai entered the hall, he saw an old man who was sitting upright on the main seat. The old man's skin was incredibly wrinkled, his back was even hunched, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

The seats for the guests in the hall were also filled with people. Each of them looked old and decrepit. They all closed their eyes and did not say a word. They did not even seem to know who the person was!

There was a person lying on the floor in the middle of the hall. His entire body was covered in wounds. He had probably been tortured and had his flesh ripped open. He looked extremely ferocious and terrifying! The only thing that could be seen was the side of his face which was covered in bloodstains. It was difficult to discern his identity.

"You old guys can all go rest as well. Stop wasting time here, I have something to talk about with them!" The old man who sat at the head of the group still had his eyes closed. He didn't look at the people around him, as if he was a king that was above them and would decide the life and death of anyone.

"Yes, Big Brother!" The old men sitting in the guest seat quickly got up and left without any delay.

Seeing the few elders leaving one after another, the old man seated in the seat finally spoke again: "I am Yin Busan, the older generation known as' The lingering ghosts'. After not walking around in the martial arts world for so many years, I'm afraid that only a few people can remember this old man's name!"

Yin Busan, this is actually not his real name. No one has remembered his real name since a long time ago, even he himself has long since forgotten about it. The three words "Yin Busan" seemed to have accompanied him since his debut. Many years had passed, and the only thing he remembered was his name.

The origin of this name actually had something to do with his title of Jianghu. Back in the days when he had roamed the Jianghu, it had given people a first impression and had also become his title for the rest of his life.

Furthermore, his personality and illusionary abilities were complementary to this title. There was no other word that was more suitable than 'lingering like a ghost'.

"Senior, what are you talking about? Senior is a peerless expert in the martial arts world, how could you be forgotten?" Li Jialai laughed awkwardly, and then flattered.

No one was willing to offend a Grade Nine Expert, and one that was proficient in illusions at that. After entering the ranks of Grade Nine Expert, there was a clear gap between illusion techniques and martial skills. After reaching level 9, the spirit power of illusionist would increase by a large amount, and at the same time, the spirit power would complement one's body, causing a substantial change in the originally weak body of illusionist. This was the reason why Yin Busan could throw the staff to such a shocking degree with a casual toss.

"It's just a title, there's no need to forget it. After so many years, there aren't many people in my generation who are still alive!" This old man can be considered as someone who has only half a foot in the coffin, so what's salutation? " Yin Busan said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Almost all the old men of his generation who hadn't reached the ninth level were dead, and only a few were left alive! Meanwhile, Yin Busan himself had already stepped into level 9, if he did not advance at all, he would probably die of old age at that level.

"Senior is being modest!" I wonder why senior has summoned this junior here? " Li Jialai bowed once again, and then asked sincerely. This caused Li Jialai to feel extremely uncomfortable. In addition to the fact that the person he wanted to have a secret talk with was a level nine expert, the faster he could finish the conversation, the better it would be.

I'm afraid that you won't be able to make a decision on your own in this matter, so I've invited another person. Presumably, with him here, you will be able to relax a lot, or else, you will always be worried that this old man will take your life. Yin Busan looked at Li Jialai playfully, and did not care about his little tricks. As the saying goes, a man is wise and mature. In the eyes of this old man, his petty tricks were simply child's play. Therefore, Yin Busan opened his mouth and slowly said something, implying that he had seen through the other party's thoughts.

Hearing the hidden meaning in Yin Busan's words, Li Jialai became even more embarrassed, but his natural skin was thicker, and he quickly adjusted himself. As the saying goes, a tree without skin would die, and a man without face would be invincible. Li Jialai never cared about whether or not he had the face. Other than showing off for others to see, he was completely useless.

Li Jialai paused for a while, and then said: "About this ? Senior, what are you saying? I have respect for you and I do not doubt you at all. Furthermore, with Senior's identity, I will not lower myself to a junior for no reason. "

"Enough, I don't have time for this nonsense!" Old friend, why aren't you showing yourself? " How was Yin Busan not clear about this, he just did not waste any more words with him, and suddenly shouted out.

'Old friend? ' At first glance, this word was somewhat incomprehensible to everyone. However, upon closer examination, it was somewhat inconceivable. To be able to be called an 'old friend' by Yin Busan, one had to first of all be old enough, and secondly, have an equally high status and identity. Since Yin Busan was already a powerhouse of the ninth rank, then wouldn't it mean that the person with the same status and position as him would also be the Grade Nine Expert?

As a result, everyone's gaze turned to the side door of the hall. They were all curious as to who this second expert of the ninth rank was.

"I thought you were going to teach me more, you might as well fall asleep at the back!" Before the person appeared, his voice was first heard by the crowd. His voice was somewhat candid, and his tone carried a bit of complaint and ridicule!

"You old fellow, why? Let me teach your family's younger generation a lesson, and your heart will ache? " Yin Busan also replied with a smile.

As Yin Busan's words fell, a robust old man walked out from a side door of the hall with a smile.

"Old ancestor?" "Why are you here?" Seeing the old man's appearance, Li Jialai asked with a face full of shock.

"Why am I here? Of course he was dragged here by this old brat! I say, Old Yin, what are you doing in the gourd again? You want me to come all the way here? " The well-built old man unhappily replied, and then, he asked Yin Busan a question.

"Old Li, I believe you should know a bit about what happened in Fengyang City recently!" Yin Busan suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"I know, it's all because of the younger generation. We old guys shouldn't participate!" The sturdy built old man nodded his head and answered, at the same time, reminded Yin Busan.

The Blood Illusion Valley and the Sword League would often have a few arguments with each other, and then start a confrontation or start a war. This was because of the feud between the ancestors of the two big gangs, and until now, most of it was just a small dispute. As a result, the upper echelons of the two big gangs, especially the level 9 experts and above, would not easily join the battle.

They might as well treat it as a competition to test the strength of the disciples. That was why the well-built elder reminded Yin Busan not to get involved in this matter and to wait and see. Since they had already fought in Fengyang City for some time, they might as well continue fighting.

"I'm afraid I can't not participate!" Yin Busan smiled as he said those words meaningfully.
