After looking at the stone statue for a bit, he left the ancestral temple and walked through this cedar thicket before inadvertently stopping at an old pond.
“Ah!” Before Li Qiye reached the old pond, there was a loud scream that resonated to the far reaches.
There was a young man standing before the old pond. His Fate Palace hung above his head with a turtle image. His entire body exuded a bright light, creating an illusion of a lion. It rushed towards the emerging turtle and bit this image!
After a roar, the light around his body eventually disappeared and his Fate Palace went back inside his meridian. At this time, the turtle and lion both disappeared while the young man looked as if he had just been through a harsh battle. His entire body was sweating as he sat straight on the ground with a tired expression.
Li Qiye from afar was surprised from this scene as he murmured while walking towards the old pond: “It has been a long time since I’ve seen a person with this fate line.”
“Who?” Li Qiye’s footsteps immediately alerted the young man next to the pond. He suddenly stood up and turned around to glare at Li Qiye: “Who are you?”
“Just a passerby.” Li Qiye gave a friendly wide smile at this young man before him. This young man was a bit older than him and he had a clear and bright expression. He was dressed in black from head to toe to give off an unusually awesome look. His eyes flashed a brilliance that revealed an unyielding resolution!
“Why did you come to this place? There is no beautiful scenery to be found here!” The young man was on full alert after seeing a stranger like Li Qiye.
Li Qiye smiled a bit and replied: “I had read many ancient books about the Eastern Hundred Cities. However, people do say that reading for ten years is not as great as walking a thousand miles. I am on a vacation and wanted to see a few legends. It was written that this place used to be the ancestral temple of the Chi Clan, so I came here for a look to see if it was the truth or not.”
“Oh, so you are trying to find the ancestral temple. I will lead the way for you to see.” The young man became relieved after hearing Li Qiye’s answer. Li Qiye did not look like a bad person, so he had a good impression of him.
This young man was truly friendly and immediately led Li Qiye to the ancestral temple. He was walking while talking: “My name is Chi Xiaodao, what is your name?” 1
So it was a descendant of the Chi Clan! Li Qiye smiled and was a bit surprised. He didn’t think that he would meet a descendant of the Chi Clan. Li Qiye then told the young man his name.
“Where are you from?” Chi Xiaodao was a talkative person and immediately struck up a conversation after meeting Li Qiye.
“The Grand Middle Territory — it’s very far from here. I went on this trip so that I could see this world.” Li Qiye calmly and leisurely responded with a smile.
“The Grand Middle Territory, wow!” Chi Xiaodao was quite surprised and became even more curious as he struck up even more small talk.
A few moments later, Li Qiye followed Chi Xiaodao back to the ancestral temple. While looking at the stone statue, Li Qiye glanced at Chi Xiaodao once and smiled: “The Chi Clan’s ancestor… So the ancestral temple of the Chi Clan was at this place.”
“Yep, this is the ancestral temple to honor my maternal ancestor!” Chi Xiaodao looked at the statue and said with some emotion.
Li Qiye acted as if he was in a daze. He looked at Chi Xiaodao and asked: “Your maternal ancestor? But your last name is also Chi.”
Chi Xiaodao smiled and explained: “My grandfather was a live-in son-in-law at the Chi Clan. My grandfather’s last name initially was not Chi, but we all followed our grandmother’s last name so it is now Chi.” 2
“You know, my grandfather’s clan before was not any lesser than the Chi Clan. My grandfather’s ancestor was also an unfathomable character, and people called him Lion Monarch Ba Xian. Legend has it that he was an invincible existence, and some rumors even stated that he was a grand completion Immortal Physique!” Chi Xiaodao loved to talk so he chatted up about his clan’s story to Li Qiye.
“Lion Monarch Ba Xian!” Li Qiye was a bit taken back after hearing this. This world was really too small. Back at the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground, he had tricked the Tyrannical Immortal Saber from Lion Monarch Ba Xian and had formed a positive karma with him. He didn’t expect to meet his descendant at this moment, and he also didn’t expect that the future generation of the Lion Monarch married the future generation of his general!
“You have also heard about the ancestor of my grandfather?” Chi Xiaodao excitedly asked.
Li Qiye nodded his head and spoke: “I have. Lion Monarch Ba Xian was a great character during Immortal Emperor Tun Ri’s era. Even when Immortal Emperor Tun Ri was alive, the Lion Monarch was still an amazing character.”
After knowing that the ancestor of Chi Xiaodao’s grandfather was
