Chapter 2509: Chapter 519: The Return of the Grand Elder

A Great Teaching naturally has its leader, the Sect Hierarch.

However, many Great Teachings have a special existence known as the Supreme Elder!

The Supreme Elder is usually the person with the highest seniority and the oldest age within the Great Teaching. To achieve such longevity, one’s cultivation base must be sufficiently high.

After all, while cultivators have long lifespans, they are not infinite.

Only with an adequately high cultivation base can one endure long enough to become the Supreme Elder. In many Great Teachings, it often happens that the Supreme Elder is many generations senior to the Sect Hierarch.

Sometimes, when the Sect Hierarch was young, it was the Supreme Elder who guided and took them out for experience, cultivating along the way.

Although that’s not the case here.

Yet their Sect Hierarch received guidance from the Supreme Elder during the Golden Core Stage. The Sect Hierarch’s master was their old Sect Hierarch, but the old Sect Hierarch was often in seclusion for cultivation and had no time to guide the Sect Hierarch; the one who taught the Sect Hierarch was the Supreme Elder, who, compared to the old Sect Hierarch, acted more like the Sect Hierarch’s master.

Moreover, almost all the masters within their Great Teaching have received guidance from the Supreme Elder.

Though the Supreme Elder has completely relinquished power and almost never intervenes in sect affairs.

Yet the prestige of the Supreme Elder is no less than that of their Sect Hierarch!

Now the Supreme Elder actually says to close the sect gates and not allow the Sect Hierarch to go out, causing the disciples to suddenly become anxious.

Thereupon, the voice of the Supreme Elder spread throughout the God Slaughter Sect.

Within the God Slaughter Sect, many young disciples were left puzzled.

"Who is Sha Kong?"

"I don’t know, I haven’t heard of this person!"

"The one shouting is the Supreme Elder, right? From the sound, the Supreme Elder is clearly in a rage; who has provoked the Supreme Elder?"

"Yes, the Supreme Elder is usually very serious but seldom gets angry!"

"Isn’t the Supreme Elder guarding the boundary? Why has He returned?"

Many disciples with higher cultivation bases and more experience heard the words, and their expressions suddenly changed greatly.

The name Sha Kong has rarely been mentioned anymore.

Now, throughout the Great Teaching, only the Supreme Elder dares to call this name.

Sha Kong was the title of the Sect Hierarch before becoming the Sect Hierarch!

What is this situation? The Supreme Elder, who was supposed to be guarding the boundaries, suddenly returns to the Great Teaching and even calls the Sect Hierarch by name.

For the dignity of the Sect Hierarch, after Sha Kong became Sect Hierarch, the Supreme Elder no longer called him by this name. Why this time? What has the Sect Hierarch done to make the Supreme Elder so angry!

Though curious, upon hearing the anger in the Supreme Elder’s voice, none dared to step forward to investigate!

The Supreme Elder, however, did not stop, and soon his voice continued to sound throughout the Great Teaching.

"Mínghuī, come see me!"

"Sword Mountain."

"Madstar."

"Come see me immediately!"

On the way here, He had already learned that Ancient Lamp the Immortal Lord had died on the Killing Battlefield, so this time, the people he called did not include Ancient Lamp the Immortal Lord.

"Mínghuī... that’s the Grand Elder’s name."

"The remaining ones are disciples of the Sect Hierarch and the Grand Elder!"

"What exactly has happened for the Supreme Elder to seek out these masters!"

"It seems Madstar the Immortal Lord is not within our Great Teaching anymore but has gone to the True Immortal Realm battlefield."

The voice full of fury rolled through the Great Teaching like thunder.

In the majestic Sect Hierarch’s hall of the God Slaughter Sect, at this moment, there were only three people. These three were discussing something when the booming voice suddenly came.

Among the three, a sinister-looking man trembled upon hearing the outside voice, a frantic expression emerged on his face and he murmured, "It’s the Supreme Elder’s voice. Isn’t he guarding the boundary? Why has he returned suddenly? Moreover, why does he want to find us specifically! No, he didn’t mention Ancient Lamp; could this just be a coincidence?"

Among the three, the youngest-looking male cultivator suddenly stood from his seat, uncertain and worried, "Did the Supreme Elder discover something? Master, what should we do?"

He and the sinister man both looked towards the God Slaughter Sect Lord sitting on the Sect Hierarch’s throne, but at this moment, the Sect Hierarch’s majestic face had lost its usual grandeur.

"No need to doubt, you should all understand my uncle’s temperament; since He has returned and named us, then there is only one possibility, He has uncovered our identities.

As to how he knows, he just didn’t call someone’s name, then perhaps it’s because of someone."

"Now Ancient Lamp has probably fallen into their hands, perhaps even killed."

"They really know our identities? We have been so secretive, how did they find out? Moreover, Master, what should we do now? We absolutely cannot sit back and wait for death!" Sword Lord Dao Shan looked at his master with panic.

Suddenly, a fierce expression flashed across his face as he said, "Master, let’s fight our way out! The Supreme Elder, like you, is in the Golden Immortal Realm. But he is only one person; you still have me and the Grand Elder. Together, the three of us can surely break through the siege.

Our Great Teaching’s other disciples, upon seeing us act, absolutely won’t dare interfere in this!"

"Break out? How could we break out!" The Grand Elder immediately shook his head upon hearing this, "The Supreme Elder has been guarding the boundaries all along, and even if he knows our identities, that must have been conveyed to him by someone.
