Chapter 6213: Ye Sha
They came across a cemetery before they knew it.
âWhose cemetery is this?â The group was surprised to see the well-kept state of this cemetery.
âOur ancestral cemetery...â Li Xian answered.
âYour clan.â The group looked up and saw no end in sight.
Each memorial tablet was ancient and beaten by time. It must have been built a long time ago; its sheer scale was magnificent.
âYour clan was this large?â Orchidcore and the others regained their wits.
âThis is actually the main cemetery, there is a larger branch one. Our ancestral rule is that only those with accomplishments are allowed to be buried here. Ordinary descendants are buried in the branch one. Itâs just that after several wars, the branch one was destroyed.â Li Xian smiled wryly.
âItâs gigantic.â Orchidcore was moved by this scene.
As one of the main successors of the Mu, he had a good understanding of dao lineages. A main cemetery like this indicated a certain level of prestige and prosperity.
âAuspicious Emperor, Cloudsoar Grand Sovereign, Peerless Godmonarch, Nine-hand Everlasting...â Princess Chen read the tablets and saw the titles.
âYouâre a member of the Li!â She and Orchidcore realized Li Xianâs true origin.
âThe Li. Amitabha, amitabha, the home of Xuansu.â Monk Zhu placed his palms together.
âI apologize for not showing you the proper respect, Brother.â Orchidcore bowed.
Despite Li Xianâs shallow cultivation, his clan was truly prestigious once. It was far stronger than the Mu during its peak. Of course, true strength during the previous eras was impossible to gauge.
âMy apologies.â Princess Chen did the same.
âI was told this is a pathway to Old Ruin or another burial ground built by our ancestors. The details elude me.â Li Xian shrugged.
âYou havenât entered?â Princess Chen became curious.
âThe seniors tried but it is a labyrinth that always takes visitors back to the initial point. Our ancestors most likely didnât want us to come, hence the bewitching spell.â Li Xian elaborated.
âArenât we in Old Ruin already?â Orchidcoreâs brows furrowed.
âNot quite, weâre still outside where itâs safe. There are unhealed places with void storms deeper in there.â Li Xian said.
âRight, the main battlefields are still perilous.â Monk Zhu said.
âMore than that.â Black Witch Monarch said with a smile: âCould be ghosts there, rumor has it Ye Sha is still there.â
âYe Sha.â The listeners became alarmed.
âYe Sha is the lord of Old Ruin, right?â Princess Chen said.
âItâs an old legend, donât think itâs true. My seniors told me that Ye Sha might not be real, could just be a manifestation of the void storms.â Li Xian shook his head.
âNo, Ye Sha is real. An emperor from our clan met his demise because of Ye Sha.â Orchidcore shook his head.
âI see.â Li Xian was surprised to hear this.
âYe Sha had left Old Ruin before but somehow returned.â Orchidcore said confidently.
âYes, forced back due to the top cultivators under Lord of Life and Death.â The monarch elaborated.
âSo could Ye Sha be the one causing trouble?â Princess Chen speculated.
