I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1821: Chapter 1821: Ten Days Later, Hidden Dragon Abyss

The Xuan Master, also known as the Cangxuan Guardian Beast, has not revealed itself in this world for a very, very long time, let alone intervened.

Being able to recognize the origins of the Eight Desolate Ruins is proof enough that the other party must have seen it with their own eyes, or perhaps even crossed paths with the Xuan Master.

For such an ancient, monstrous figure, recognizing the Eight Desolate Ruins is entirely normal.

The Second Elder froze upon hearing the elder’s somewhat aged words.

”The Cangxuan Guardian Beast?! But why would it pass its essence on to Xu Luo? One must know, the Cangxuan Guardian Beast exists solely to guard the Chaos Realm. As long as the Chaos Realm remains secure, its stance would always remain neutral.

How could it possibly pass its essence on to the heir of our Xu Family?”

This kind of behavior.

Without a doubt, signifies that the Cangxuan Guardian Beast has taken a side, and that side stands aligned with the Xu Family’s interests. This completely contradicts the actions and principles of the Cangxuan Guardian Beast; it is virtually impossible.

”This doesn’t make sense either!” The Second Elder furrowed his brows tightly and said, ”Why would Xu Luo be able to obtain the Cangxuan Guardian Beast’s inheritance then?”

”Could it be that Xu Luo’s talent is too compatible with the Cangxuan Guardian Beast’s legacy, and that’s why the inheritance was handed down to him?”

From inside the Four-sided Prism, the elder’s voice resounded once more. ”Absolutely impossible. No matter how extraordinary the talent, if this person belongs to a faction within the Chaos Realm, the Cangxuan Guardian Beast would never pass its inheritance to them.

The old thing wouldn’t do anything that disrupts the balance of power.”

Hidden within the bushes, Xu Yeming couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows upon hearing the elder’s voice.

From the sound of it, the elder seemed to have a deep understanding of the Xuan Master.

However.

The elder’s next words caused Xu Yeming’s heart to jolt in shock.

”There is only one possibility.” The elder’s slightly solemn voice echoed from the Four-sided Prism held by the Second Elder, ”He is not someone from the Chaos Realm.”

The Second Elder froze.

This...

Their Xu Family’s heir.

Not someone from the Chaos Realm?

How is that possible?

The elder continued, ”Alternatively, he may not be from the Xu Family at all.”

The Second Elder said gravely, ”Senior, you mustn’t speak recklessly. Xu Luo is the heir personally chosen by the Clan Leader, not to mention he possesses a pure Xu Family bloodline, and bloodlines cannot be faked.”

”And what about Xu Canghai?”

The elder’s words plunged the Second Elder into silence.

The elder’s voice floated out eerily, ”Sometimes, even people of the same bloodline might not necessarily remain loyal to their family, wouldn’t you agree? This sort of thing isn’t unique to Xu Canghai alone.”

The Second Elder couldn’t refute and remained silent.

Indeed, Xu Canghai was a prime example.

However.

What puzzled him was whether Xu Luo even had the motive to act against them.

He wasn’t exactly suffering within the Xu Family.

He had the status of the heir, and resources were tilted in his favor.

With such excellent treatment, why would he rebel?

Unlike the Second Elder.

Xu Yeming, who was perched on the tree, had already broken out in cold sweat.

One had to admit.

Anyone capable of devising a scheme to bring about the downfall of the Xu Family and the Xuanyuan Clan, two Top Families, must possess a highly astute mind.

Merely piecing together fragments of evidence, they had already deduced part of ”Xu Luo’s” intentions and identity.

However.

What concerned Xu Yeming more was the elder’s earlier statement—”Xu Canghai isn’t the only example.”

Such occurrences are indeed rare.

Even so, whenever they do happen, the neutral sects and aristocratic families typically keep such matters tightly under wraps.

After all, these incidents could tarnish their reputation.

Xu Canghai’s case was merely too disruptive back then to remain hidden.

Seeing the Second Elder’s grave expression, the elder said, ”Just in case, keep a close eye on Xu Luo so that he doesn’t affect our plans.

Furthermore, since Xu Luo dares to use the Eight Desolate Ruins in front of so many people, he must be up to something... Considering the Eight Desolate Ruins is a cultivation technique exclusively mastered by the Xuan Master, it’s impossible to use it arbitrarily.”

The Second Elder nodded and then asked, ”Is there any way to seize the Eight Desolate Ruins from him?”

The elder replied, ”No need. Even if you obtained it, you wouldn’t be able to use it. Such cultivation techniques are impossible to cultivate without a unique constitution. Forcing it would only get you to the level of One Desolate Power.”

Moreover, if the cultivation threshold were low, the elder himself would already have taken action to seize the Eight Desolate Ruins instead of discussing it.

”Remember—ten days from now, the Hidden Dragon Abyss.”

After saying this, the ripples in the Four-sided Prism disappeared, leaving it as an ordinary prism.

The Second Elder stored the prism carefully, double-checked his surroundings to ensure there were no eavesdroppers, then deactivated the formation and began meditating in the courtyard.

Once more, tranquility returned to the space.

As soon as the formation was removed, Xu Yeming left the Second Elder’s residence.

The information he needed had already been obtained.

Ten days from now, the Hidden Dragon Abyss.

Still, Xu Yeming didn’t know its exact location and would need to ask others about it.

Returning to Xu Luo’s residence.

Xu Yeming sent a transmitted message to Xu Chen, asking, ”What’s your situation on your side?”

Xu Chen replied, ”Recovering from injuries, no unusual activity for now.”

Xu Yeming then relayed the information he overheard to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen was struck by unease.

Previously, he held onto a slim hope that the Second Elder was merely surprised at Xu Yeming’s formidable cultivation technique and that his reactions were unrelated to anything else.

But now, it was clear—the Second Elder was undoubtedly one of the rebels.

”But this Hidden Dragon Abyss... I’ve never even heard of it!”

”Then keep monitoring Xu Rulin.”

With these words, Xu Yeming ended the transmission.

Thinking it over, Xu Yeming decided to head to Cangxuan Academy.

Though he could have asked Liu Ziru, Xu Yeming wanted to inquire about the Xuan Master as well, in hopes of gaining some insight into the elder within the prism.

While he had only recorded the elder’s voice using a magic treasure.

He could only try his luck.

At present.

The Xu Family had implemented a strict no-departure policy.

Especially for direct lineage individuals like Xu Yeming, who possessed the Sun and Moon Token, to avoid them being taken or threatened by other factions.

If not for the Black Robe gifted by Lu Changsheng that concealed his appearance, Xu Yeming doubted he could even sneak out of such a heavily guarded place.

Using Heavenly Lightning Escape Talismans to travel rapidly, Xu Yeming passed through teleportation arrays one after another.

In just two days, he rushed to Cangxuan Academy.

The dean, having received word ahead of time, personally came out to secretly escort Xu Yeming to the designated location.

After all, Cangxuan Academy was under close surveillance from the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan at present.

”The Xuan Master is already waiting for you—you go on your own.”

Activating the teleportation array, the dean stepped away from the formation.

Xu Yeming cupped his hands in gratitude before all at once being swallowed up by the twisting light, emerging seconds later beside a serene stream.

Only, the enormous figure was no longer present.

In its place was an elder dressed in a deep green robe, seated cross-legged above the stream.

Nature’s spiritual energy swirled around his body, shimmering like joyous sprites frolicking around him.

At that moment, the elder opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within.

”Speak, little one. What business brings you to me? I don’t believe for a second that you came here without reason.”

No kidding!

You honestly couldn’t deny!

This old codger really has an eye for people!
