Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 771: The Ancestor Makes a Move

Although there were many from the Demon Clan here, in reality, even combined, they were no match for the black-robed elder alone.

After all, a cultivation base at the Seventh Layer of the Life and Death Realm was already exceedingly powerful.

A Cultivator like this could contend with at least a hundred Cultivators at the Fifth Level of Life-Death Realm.

"Cat Brother, how can the Young Miss be so formidable?"

The Sky-boring Rat stared in shock at the black-robed elder, who had been cleaved in two before them, and quietly sent a voice transmission.

"The Master is here!" the Big Black Cat transmitted, his voice laced with profound secrecy.

No wonder... the Sky-boring Rat thought, his expression turning serious as he suppressed his playful demeanor. The Master has been here all along. I really have to watch what I say in the future. If the Master punishes me, I’ll be in huge trouble.

"Young Miss, please spare us!"

The surrounding Demon Clan members knelt one after another, kowtowing in submission.

"You are also demon beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect. Over these many years, the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect has not treated you unfairly. Come back with us!" Su Wanyi said calmly.

"We obey!" most of the Demon Clan members declared loudly.

However, a small fraction of the Demon Clan, three or four of them, showed hesitation in their eyes.

"What, is someone unwilling to return?" Su Wanyi asked coldly.

"We are willing!"

The few hesitant Demon Clan members gritted their teeth and agreed.

Their current situation clearly put them at a disadvantage.

This beautiful girl of the Destiny Realm was simply too powerful, and her methods were decisive and ruthless. If they didn’t return, they wouldn’t survive the day.

"Let’s go, Little Black!" Su Wanyi turned and smiled gently at the Big Black Cat.

"Alright!" the Big Black Cat promptly responded.

In his earlier excitement, he had almost blurted out the word ’Master’.

Suddenly, Su Wanyi’s gaze turned vacant for a moment. At this instant, Ye Yun ceased controlling her Primordial Spirit and physical body.

So, it was the Ancestor who helped us... she thought, turning to look at the black-robed elder’s corpse.

Moments before, when Ye Yun withdrew, he had naturally altered some of Su Wanyi’s memories.

Thus, in Su Wanyi’s current perception, the black-robed elder had died at the hands of the Ancestor. The Demon Clan members had also been persuaded by the Ancestor and were prepared to return to the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect with the four of them. Since the Ancestor had intervened, there was nothing to doubt, Su Wanyi thought.

Her expression unchanged, she led the Big Black Cat and the others out of the cave entrance. They then soared into the sky, leaving the mountain stream and continuing towards the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect.

More than twenty male and female members of the Demon Clan followed closely behind them.

This procession was imposing and quite large.

"Haha, I’ve caught another Thunderfire Bird!"

A loud laugh suddenly erupted from a distant valley.

Five or six exhilarated young men abruptly ascended from the valley, preparing to leave.

"Look quickly! Why are so many Demon Clan members flying over from that direction? Could they be demon beasts from our Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect?" one young man’s eyes lit up as he pointed in a certain direction.

The others immediately looked in that direction.

"Heavens! Why are they all demon beasts from our Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect?" one young man exclaimed in shock.

"Who are those people up front? How are they leading so many demon beasts from our Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect?" a stalwart young man frowned and asked.

"That girl in the golden robe... isn’t that Su Wanyi?" a pale-faced young man blinked rapidly and cried out in a sharp voice.

"The disciple of the previous Sect Master? The one with the lowest cultivation base?" someone nearby asked.

"That’s right, it’s her! I’d recognize her even if she were turned to ash!" the pale-faced young man stated emphatically.

"Could that really be her? I vaguely recall that the previous Sect Master’s disciple only broke through to the Mysterious Pill Realm several months after arriving at our Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect. It’s been less than a year since then; how could she become a great Cultivator at Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5? This is completely unconventional..." The stalwart young man’s expression was grave, and he shook his head repeatedly.

Clearly, no one in this world could advance from the Mysterious Pill Realm to Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5 in less than a year.

「While the few of them were talking—」

Su Wanyi and her group had already flown over quickly.

"Another group of disciples from the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect, eh..." the Big Black Dog grinned.

Su Wanyi, her expression calm, scanned the group and immediately recognized the pale-faced young man.

"You, come out!" Su Wanyi ordered bluntly, pointing at him.

"Who might you be? How dare you be so discourteous to disciples of our Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect!" the stalwart youth stepped forward, frowning as he questioned her.

"I am also a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect. My name is Su Wanyi. I trust none of you are unaware of that?" Su Wanyi smiled faintly and casually reached out her hand.

She was at Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5, while the most powerful among the group opposite her was only at Heavenly Order Realm Third Layer.

They simply couldn’t withstand her immense pressure.

Everyone watched, powerless, as Su Wanyi seized the pale-faced young man.

"Su Wanyi, you’re also a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect! We are all fellow disciples! What are you trying to do?" the stalwart youth demanded loudly.

SLAP!

Su Wanyi raised her hand and brought it down swiftly.

The pale-faced young man vomited blood and was sent flying backward.

"Why did you hit me?" he stabilized himself in mid-air, spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and then glared at Su Wanyi with hatred, asking.

"All who have ever mocked me shall face my punishment today!" Su Wanyi declared coldly.

"You..." The pale-faced young man’s face was filled with remorse. He never dreamed that the insignificant Gathering Qi Realm disciple he had once mocked would now become a great Cultivator at Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5.

A single slap from her had heavily injured him, a Nirvana Realm expert.

"Let’s go!" Su Wanyi said, then led the large contingent of Demon Clan members towards the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect.

"One should be seen in a new light after an absence of three days," the stalwart young man muttered to himself, a look of relief appearing on his face. "But Su Wanyi’s cultivation speed is simply too fast! Thankfully, I never mocked her back then, or I’d be the one seriously injured today..."

"Senior Brother, Su Wanyi is leading so many demon beasts. Is she planning to return to the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect?" a young man beside him asked.

"Probably. Su Wanyi has been missing for nearly a year, and her Master’s situation in the underground palace is unknown. She’s leading so many demon beasts back now; she likely intends to rescue her Master from the underground palace..." the stalwart young man speculated.

"With Su Wanyi’s prodigious cultivation talent, the future Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect will likely be her..." another person sighed.

The stalwart young man said meaningfully, "That’s not necessarily true. The current acting Sect Master is unlikely to yield his position to her..."

"I understand..." that young man nodded, a look of sudden understanding on his face.

It was common knowledge.

The current acting Sect Master, formerly the Deputy Sect Master, had never been on good terms with the Sect Master.

Although Su Wanyi’s talent was heaven-defying, she no longer had any backing.

Even if she returned to the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect, she probably couldn’t stir up any significant waves.

「Four days later.」

Su Wanyi and her group, weary from their journey, arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect.

"It’s been many years since I was last here. The buildings are still the same, but the vitality here has waned considerably..." Standing in the void outside the mountain gate, the Big Black Cat gazed into the distance and sighed with emotion.

"It feels like a dream..." Su Wanyi said, her eyes distant, as she too let out a long sigh.

Back then, to allow her younger martial brothers and sisters to escape safely, she had single-handedly lured away their pursuers. In her desperate flight, she stumbled into a valley shrouded in white mist.

There, she encountered the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat guarding the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus, and subsequently, she met the second master in her life—

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect.

In the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect, although ridiculed by many, Su Wanyi, with her resilient personality, quickly banished distracting thoughts. Her cultivation progressed rapidly, and she advanced from a minor Cultivator at the Gathering Qi Realm to the Mysterious Pill Realm.

Then, the Ancestor transported Su Wanyi across an unfathomable distance, directly back to the lands of the Ancient Moon Dynasty.

Next, under the Ancestor’s guidance, her life took a dramatic turn. Her cultivation soared, and in less than a year, she became a great Cultivator at the peak of Heavenly Fate Realm Level 5.

Recalling these past events, everything was vivid in her mind, yet it felt as ephemeral as a dream or a phantom bubble.

That was why Su Wanyi felt so moved.

"Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, Su Wanyi, Demonic Divine Dog—why have you come?"

「Just as everyone was lost in their recollections,」

Suddenly, an aged voice, resonant as a great bell, rang out from another part of the mountain gate.
