Chapter 1977 – Fang Shadow
”Yes, Grandfather!” Silver Moon opened her mouth a few times, and finally obediently swallowed back her original words.
Just as Ao Xiao Old Ancestor still wanted to talk to his granddaughter about some more things, his complexion moved, and he suddenly turned his head, his gaze looking towards the gate.
As a result, a few moments later, footsteps sounded and a young maid appeared outside the door and spoke respectfully.
”Reporting back to your lordship, there are two elders from this island outside who have come to seek an audience!”
”Oh, they’re not moving too slowly. Let them come in.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor’s expression slowed down and he nodded his head as he commanded.
The maid naturally promised to lead the order and went out again.
A little while later, the man with the surname Xu and the white-haired old man walked in from outside, and as soon as they saw Ao Xiao Old Ancestor, they immediately went forward to greet him.
”Greetings senior. I don’t know what matters the senior needs the late generation to attend to this time when they are recruited together.” The white clean faced man asked solemnly.
”There is no rush. The two of you sit down and talk first.” Ao Xiao Elder Ancestor, however, smiled before saying with a finger pointing towards the chair next to him.
This demon one person two merged existence, naturally do not dare to go against Ao tsunami’s intention, said thank you after a sentence, also honestly divided into two sides sat down.
”You two say and old man have some origin. One of you is an old friend from back then, and one of you is a named disciple of Daoyou Mo. Right now there is a big matter that needs to be handled by someone, and only by handing it over to the two of you can I truly feel at ease.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao sized up the two of them and spoke in a pleasant manner.
”Elder feel free to command!”
Facing the Mahayana existence in front of them, the Xu man and his duo were quite a bit flattered.
”I’ve heard from Fellow Daoist Mo that in his absence, the person who can do some mastery on the Sacred Island is Fellow Daoist Luo. In that case, I need you to help me collect some things. Some of them are magic artifacts and some are materials. All of these things are relatively rare, some of them already have a whereabouts, while others you’ll have to find on your own. The only condition is that all of this must be done in secret, and the faster the better!” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao opened the door after a slight pause.
”Yes, my juniors will immediately send some trusted people to split up to do this matter. It will never be known to outsiders.” The white-haired old man was first stunned and immediately returned with a full reply.
”Very well, I have a list here, you and keep it.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor nodded and with a shake of his sleeve, a piece of jade simply flew away.
The white-haired old man immediately got up and took the jade slip into his hands and put it into his sleeve without looking at it.
He clearly looked as if he would try his best to do whatever was recorded inside.
Seeing this situation, Ao Xiao Old Ancestor showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, and turned his head to charge the man with the surname Xu and said in command: ”Xianxian nephew Xu, I need you to go to the Savage World to see a few foreign tribesmen of great ability. As for what to do to see them, I have also written down in the jade slip, turn around and take a look to know. This matter should likewise not let the others on the island know about this matter.”
”The late generation will definitely act carefully.” The man surnamed Xu similarly rose and respectfully returned.
”Well, these two matters concern the three Great Patriarchs of the Demon Race, as Daolord Mo also knows. At most, I can only give you five years. If it is more than that, it will delay the big event. Do you understand.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao’s face became solemn all of a sudden.
”Elder don’t worry, even if the late generation and the others don’t want to lose their lives, they will definitely complete the appointment on time.”
Once the white-haired old man and the man with the surname Xu heard that it was to be used to deal with the Demon Race Patriarch, after looking at each other, their faces couldn’t help but reveal expressions of mixed surprise, and they almost swore immediately.
”The old man found you all here, so naturally, he is assured of you. Alright, there’s nothing else, so you guys go and do it right away. This matter should be done sooner rather than later!” With a lift of his hand, Old Man Ao Xiao tossed another jade slip to the man surnamed Xu before uttering the words of farewell.
The white-haired old man and the two did not dare to say anything more, and immediately left the pavilion after giving a deep salute.
”Grandfather, is there no problem with these two? Aren’t there already devil spies mixed in the Sacred Island!” Waiting for the duo to leave as soon as they did, Silver Moon but asked with a frown on her brows.
”Hehehe, if these two are also unreliable, the others are even less trustworthy. These two were personally recommended to me by Mo Jianli. Because both of them are people who have not left the Holy Island for a thousand years. Besides, do you really think that the devil spies can escape your grandfather’s eyes? At least the group of Holy Island elders that I saw in the hall earlier, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. This is considered not bad news.” A faint smile flashed across Old Grandfather Ao Xiao’s aged face.
”Since Grandfather Lord has a clear idea in mind, Linglong is relieved. I’ll go upstairs first to rest for a moment or two.” Linglong’s complexion loosened and she said to Ao Xiao Old Grandfather with an obeisance.
”You’ve been running around for several months in a row, you indeed need to recover properly. Then you should go down first.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao nodded and said with some pity.
”Grandfather Lord also rest early. After all, it hasn’t been long since your old man recovered his vitality, so it’s better not to be overworked.” The silver-haired woman uneasily admonished as well.
”Haha, you don’t think your grandfather is really old.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor said with a grin, not caring.
”With the appearance of Grandfather Adult, saying that he is my elder brother, most likely no one will suspect, and how can we talk about the word ‘old’.” Silver Moon laughed lightly, and then walked upstairs without looking back.
Its footsteps were a few points lighter, as if it was in a much better mood all of a sudden!
”This girl! I really hope she doesn’t have to cultivate that Forgetfulness Technique.” After witnessing the silver-haired woman’s back disappear from the stairway, Old Man AoXiao’s relaxed color on his face was withdrawn, and he sighed lightly in return.
But strangely enough, after the long-haired man finished this sentence, he sat motionless in his chair with his eyes closed, without the slightest intention to get up and go upstairs as well.
After a meal’s work, his eyes opened and he suddenly said faintly, “Since you’ve already come, why don’t you show yourself and come out!”
”My subordinate pays homage to Lord Ao Xiao!”
Before the words fell, the nearby void actually fluctuated together, a nearly transparent shadow flashed out, from Ao Xiao old ancestor is only a few feet away.
This shadow appeared out, the body gradually cohesion clear, and finally transformed into a slim woman wearing a close-fitting black robe.
This woman face with a bronze-colored wolf head mask, hands were also a pair of black gloves wrapped, even a trace of skin on the body are not exposed.
”Fang Shadow, after so many years have passed, your outfit has not changed at all.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor’s eyebrows twitched, revealing a hint of an interested expression as he said.
”My lord’s elegance remains the same as well! When I first heard that your lord had been injured during the robbery, my subordinate was really worried for a long time. Now that I’ve seen that my lord is fine, I’m relieved.” The masked woman didn’t dare to be negligent after giving a salute, and said back in a respectful voice.
”Hehehe, a mere heavenly tribulation can still really take old man’s little life? Alright, no more nonsense. Many years ago, I ordered you to lurk down to the Holy Island, in order to be prepared for any eventualities. Now you will be the situation of the Holy Island, give me a careful explanation. Old me is going to be guarding the Holy Island for a period of time, so I must understand the real situation on the island.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao’s expression became grave.
”Yes, the Holy Island’s current situation is actually not too good, mainly because of the Demon Race’s that ……” The bronze masked woman sniffed, and didn’t hesitate to recount it.
Ao Xiao old man listening very attentively, encountered some unknown places, will open the mouth to interrupt the woman’s narrative, carefully asked a clear.
The woman can answer the answer, they do not understand is just shaking his head.
Eventually this woman will be the last sentence after the speech, immediately rattled a closed mouth.
Ao Xiao old man on the other hand, a face of contemplation in the chair began to think to come!
”Fang Shadow, you’ve done well. It looks like you haven’t stayed on the Sacred Island for nothing all these years. But have you gotten any results on the matter that old me sent a message for you to look into last time.” Old Man AoXiao eventually returned with a satisfied look, but suddenly asked about another matter.
”If Lord Ao Xiao has orders, how could Fang Shadow not do it with all his heart. However, Lord AoXiao asked me to investigate that person has never come to the Holy Island at all, although there are many rumors about him, there is still not much specific information that is more detailed. Moreover, this person seems to be an austere cultivator, in addition to cultivation, he also seems to rarely deal with people. This is probably one of the reasons why this person was able to jump several steps in a short period of time. My subordinate has already organized this person’s information, your Excellency want it now? Most of it is just wind rumors, not necessarily true.” The masked woman’s words revealed a hint of difficulty for the first time, but after thinking about it, she still honestly replied back.
”Regardless of whether it’s true or not, old me will have to take a look at it. I would like to see how capable this person is, having ascended to the Spirit Realm from the Lower Realm for just over a thousand years, he has already made such a big name for himself, while becoming Linglong’s major knot in her heart!” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao’s face sank, and he said in a somewhat gloomy manner.
”Yes, my lord!” The black-robed woman raised her hand and struck a ball of green light over.
With a single hand, Old Ancestor AoXiao grabbed the green light out of thin air, and then with a pinch of his five fingers, he sent his divine thoughts toward it.
”How come it’s just this much, and most of it is just some catch-all things. Hmph, just advancing to the early stage of Harmonization and then being able to fight hard against a cultivator of the late stage of Dacheng. This kind of thing, how many times do you think it could be true!” However, after a short while, Old Ancestor Ao Xiao finished reading the information in his hand and gave a cold snort, but he seemed to be a little less satisfied.
”My subordinate is only following your lord’s order to collect the relevant information. Whether it’s true or not, it still needs to be judged by His Excellency himself. After all, Your Excellency did not order me to personally investigate the relevant content in the first place. However, it’s a bit late if Your Excellency ordered it now. This person was chased by the Demon Race not long ago, and thus his whereabouts are unknown.” The black-robed woman spoke extremely seriously.
”Whereabouts unknown. Is this matter true? If that’s the case, it’s a bargain for this human brat. His name is Han Li, right? A lower realm ascending cultivator in the district, how dare he stir Linglong’s state of mind so that he was never able to advance smoothly. Even if he dies a thousand times, it will not be enough.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao slowly said with a flash of fierce light in both eyes.
