Chapter 3817: The Illusionary Ancestor

The Warring Old Freak narrowed his eyes slightly. From the Master of Profound Secrets’ expression, he could sense that the person he invited was probably of extraordinary origins.

At this moment, the Master of Profound Secrets’ expression changed. Some joy immediately appeared as he said, “That senior is here already. Please wait here, senior Warring. I’ll go and receive her immediately.” As soon as he said that, the Master of Profound Secrets vanished.

The Warring Old Freak raised his head subconsciously and stared straight into the depths of space. Sure enough, he discovered a figure in the distance, currently approaching them with terrifying speed that even left him in awe.

After making out who it was, the Warring Old Freak’s eyes narrowed as he became solemn.

“This person is anything but ordinary. Be sure to be courteous later. Do not show any signs of disrespect.” The Warring Old Freak communicated with Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s heart sank. The Warring Old Freak was already a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt with exceptional battle prowess. In the past, he had been evenly-matched in battle against a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Although he did not know about the state of the Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime back then, that was still enough to prove the Warring Old Freak’s strength.

Yet even someone like him became so solemn, so Jian Chen struggled to imagine just how impressive the expert that the Master of Profound Secrets invited was.

The stronger the Master of Profound Secrets’ background, the more disadvantageous it was to Jian Chen.

At this moment, the Master of Profound Secrets returned in the lead, guiding a middle-aged woman in black robes over to this place.

Jian Chen looked at the middle-aged woman. She seemed like she was in her forties, giving off a sense of nobility and coldness. Her delicate facial features that seemed like a creation of nature hinted at her startling beauty during her youth.

At this moment, she had erased her presence, so she seemed like a mortal. However, she still gave off a sense of undeniable authority.

“Greetings, Illusionary Ancestor!” The four Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts invited by the Master of Profound Secrets all went up and bowed with their fists clasped. They showed deep respect.

When they faced the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, they treated him without any fear. They had not been particularly polite nor rude to him.

But at this moment, when they faced this woman in black clothes, they demonstrated reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

Even the Warring Old Freak was solemn, proactively clasping his fist towards the woman in black. He did not dare to show any disrespect.

At this moment, the woman in black suddenly stopped. She turned her head and immediately looked at Jian Chen.

From the moment the woman looked at him, Jian Chen’s heart lurched. All of his blood seemed to surge. His blood flow actually accelerated uncontrollably.

He raised his vigilance, lowering his head in a hurry and bowing towards the woman in black.

The woman in black stared straight at Jian Chen. Her eyes shone with a strange light. Shortly afterwards, she set the Immortal Exalts aside and changed direction, turning towards Jian Chen instead.

She did not use any of her abilities. She simply approached Jian Chen on foot, step by step like a regular mortal. She did not move quickly, but it made Jian Chen’s heart tighten for some reason.

The woman’s actions piqued the interest of all the Immortal Exalts present. They immediately looked at Jian Chen as if the outstanding talents from the various heavens had only begun to truly evaluate him now.

The Warring Old Freak furrowed his brows. He seemed to realise something, and his heart weighed extremely heavily. As he watched the woman in black approach them, he became conflicted inside.

In the end, he made up his mind and stood in front of Jian Chen. He clasped his fist towards the woman in black. “Illusionary Ancestor, this is only an Immortal Emperor junior. With the Illusionary Ancestor’s status, why personally make things difficult for a mere junior?”

The woman in black stopped and frowned slightly. She stared at the Warring Old Freak in displeasure and said, “Warring Old Freak, what do you mean by that? Since when did I say I would make things difficult for this little brother?”

The Warring Old Freak was taken aback before letting out a laugh. “Looks like I’m overthinking. This little brother doesn’t know who the Illusionary Ancestor is, so if he’s disrespected you in any way, please be tolerant with him, Illusionary Ancestor.”

The Warring Old Freak eased up inside and immediately stood aside.

The woman in black slowly approached Jian Chen. She studied Jian Chen closely with her deep gaze that gave off a sense of pressure. A hint of doubt that no one could sense flashed through the depths of her eyes.

“Little brother, what… is your name? Who is your master?” the woman in black asked. Her gentle voice was filled with a sense of affinity.

To one side, the Master of Profound Secrets and the four Immortal Exalts exchanged glances. They seemed extremely surprised by how much the woman in black cared about Jian Chen.

In particular, the Master of Profound Secrets felt strangely shocked.

He had a slight understanding about the woman in black’s temperament. In his knowledge, the woman in black was not exactly frosty, but she would never behave like this and reveal an amicable side.

For a moment, the way the Master of Profound Secrets looked at Jian Chen changed in a subtle way. It became filled with suspicion and curiosity.

“Illusionary Ancestor, I am Yang Yutian. As for who my master is, forgive me because I cannot disclose it.” Jian Chen clasped his fist.

When he heard that, the Warring Old Freak’s expression changed slightly, while the Master of Profound Secrets’ face sank. He bellowed at Jian Chen, “How dare you, Yang Yutian! Do you know who the Illusionary Ancestor is? Being personally questioned by the Illusionary Ancestor is a great honour. How can you be so thankless?”

“Profound Secrets, shut your mouth.” The woman in black seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with how the Master of Profound Secrets behaved. She furrowed her brows and spoke up sternly. There was clearly a hint of impatience in her voice.

The Master of Profound Secrets immediately paled. He bowed apologetically towards the woman in black and directly shut up.

The woman in black looked at Jian Chen again. Her eyes shone with a strange light as she said gently, “If you don\'t want to tell me, I obviously won’t make things difficult for you, but why are you lying to me?”

“Your true name is not Yang Yutian at all!”

When the Illusionary Ancestor said that, Jian Chen’s face changed slightly. The Warring Old Freak’s heart sank as well, suddenly developing an ill omen.

The Illusionary Ancestor seemed to sense something. She glanced at the Warring Old Freak and said in interest, “Warring Old Freak, you seem to be very nervous? What are you afraid of?”

The Warring Old Freak smiled wryly. “I brought this little fellow here. Now, he’s displeased the Illusionary Ancestor. Of course, I’d be worried.”

Then he turned towards Jian Chen and berated him. “In front of the Illusionary Ancestor, you must never lie. With your measly cultivation, the Illusionary Ancestor can immediately discern your lies from the truth.”
