History's Strongest Senior Brother

“In short, this isn’t something you should rashly imitate. Otherwise it’s like opening the door for a thief or letting a wolf into your room, very dangerous.” Yan Zhaoge said. He stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes. Then he took the lead and started walking once more. The others hurried to catch up.

At this time, a tall figure sped towards them from behind group and caught up with Yan Zhaoge. This person was Ah Hu.

Yan Zhaoge did not stop. His pace continued undisturbed neither slow nor fast. When Ah Hu came up to Yan Zhaoge’s side, he sent a sound transmission, “Prince, we have the information. While we haven’t been able to verify but rumors say that Ye Jing attracted the discerning eyes of elder Shi after the new disciple youth competition.”

Yan Zhaoge turned and gave Ah Hu a look after hearing this news.

Ah Hu nodded, “It is rumored that elder Shi admires how he constantly strove to improve himself in order to get to this point and his persevering disposition. He is prepared to observe Ye Jing for a while and should there be no problems, he intends to accept Ye Jing as his direct disciple.”

Yan Zhaoge revealed a sneer, “No wonder…”

This elder is not like those other elders. Elder Shi could not be compared to the elder Cui from before, or even the affairs elder overseeing Eastern Tang Kingdom. None of them are anywhere close to his level.

Elder Cui is only a deacon elder and moreover he was the type that slowly achieved his position through countless years of accumulation.

The Eastern Tang Kingdom affairs elder is an affairs elder but above him there is still the Eastern Region elder who governs the entire East Heaven Region.

Whereas, Elder Shi is the head elder of the punishment hall of the entire sect, who wield the power of enforcing all the rules and punishments. In terms of rank, he is equal to the Eastern Region elder, but in terms of authority and power, he is far stronger.

He is Yan Zhaoge’s eldest martial uncle, and Broad Creed Mountain’s current sect leader’s eldest direct disciple.

This man is upright and outspoken. He considers himself less talented than Yan Zhaoge’s father and second martial uncle, and thus publicly announced his withdrawal from the race for the successor position early on. He is willing to support whoever wins the race because everything is for the sake of developing the sect.

In truth, even if elder Shi considers himself not as capable as his two junior brother, his actual ability is comparable to the two. Moreover, he is a veteran martial grandmaster, one of Broad Creed Mountain’s numbered peak experts. In the entire Eight Extremities World, his prowess is well known far and wide.

He might not be participating in the race to be successor of the sect but his opinion is weighted very heavily nonetheless. Even the current sect leader regards his opinion very highly.

No matter who becomes the next sect leader, he will continue to occupy the punishment hall head elder position. He is not just in name but also in reality, a super big shot of the sect.

At the present time, this eldest martial uncle remains neutral in the competition between Yan Zhaoge’s father and his second martial uncle.

Considering Ye Jing’s attitude towards Yan Zhaoge, should Ye Jing be killed for what seems to be jealousy of a love rival, elder Shi’s reaction can easily be imagined.

Even if there is no evidence, only suspicions, it could still affect the opposite party’s perception.

Ah Hu continued, “About this matter, Ye Jing himself probably is not in the know. Elder Shi desires to observe him for a while longer.”

He looked at Yan Zhaoge again and said irritatedly*, “Prince, this time An’m afraid you might really need to look after that Ye Jing. Otherwise, if he dies in the Dragon Sealing Abyss, even if you didn’t do it, the blame will still fall on you.”

Yan Zhaoge twitched his lips and thought to himself, “As if. How can someone possessing the main character aura die so easily?”

“After I enter the Dragon Sealing Abyss, you will be responsible for remaining the link between us and the outside world. Thank you for your trouble, you will need to run many trips.”

The expedition proceeded along the path with the green smoke lanterns that suppressed the Dragon Sealing Abyss. They quickly reached the end of this path.
