Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 197: The Legend

“Legendary spiritual root?” 

Everyone held a confused expression as they stared at Kong Yusheng for an explanation.

“Do you all remember that legendary cultivator that split the sky open?” Kong Yusheng held a solemn expression as he spoke in a deep tone.

“It was said that his spiritual root was an unprecedented one and had the power to comprehend anything in an instant. It was a fearsome talent because as long as the person is given enough time to study, no one would be able to challenge him.” He then added.

“D-Don’t tell me?”

“Yes, Elder Tan, I have confirmed it with my eyes when I secretly spied on him.” Kong Yusheng nodded his head.

Everyone in the meeting turned silent as they realized a monster had just joined their sect as a disciple.

“M-May I ask for that disciple name?” Elder Tan raised his hand as he asked nervously.

Kong Yusheng gave him a glare and shrugged his shoulders.

“You should be asking Elder Jing and not me. After all, that disciple is going to boost our sect to new heights because of Elder Jing.” 

Elder Tan shuddered as he slowly tilted his head to face Elder Jing.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing was the most shocked in the meeting room as she had never noticed Yang Wei being this special.

‘I-Impossible, Yang Wei had that kind of spiritual root?’ Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly.

She was so distracted that Elder Tan thought she was ignoring him on purpose after he tried to put the blame on her.

“E-Elder Jing, I apologize for my offense but can you at least not outright ignore me?” Elder Tan stuttered.

However, Elder Jing remained in a daze and Elder Shan giggled at this scenario.

She decided to elbow Elder Jing and whispered, “Stop thinking now and look at Elder Tan’s expression.”

Elder Jing snapped out of her daze as she glanced around. She then noticed everyone was staring at her.

“Why are you all looking at me?” Elder Jing asked in confusion. “I’m not interested in any old fogeys so you can stop thinking about being in a relationship with me.”

Elder Tan almost vomited a mouthful of blood at Elder Jing’s remark.

He was genuinely asking for the disciple’s information yet Elder Jing accused him of trying to chase after her.

“Haha, Elder Jing, you are really a muddlehead sometimes,” Elder Shan couldn’t help but tease Elder Jing. “Elder Tan wished to know about your lovely medicine boy and not your affection.”

Elder Jing’s expression darkened as she glared at Elder Tan. “Are you trying to harm my disciple?”

Her tone was threatening and Elder Tan felt like collapsing into a coma. 

“Why are you doing this to me?” Elder Tan screamed. “I’m only asking for the disciple’s information and wished to protect him at all cost.”

“Hmph, you probably want to snatch my disciple and have him regard you as master.” Elder Jing sneered.

Elder Tan wanted to rebuke her but couldn’t as she wasn’t wrong. It was a given that he would want such a powerful cultivator in the future as his disciple.

In fact, everyone else in the meeting room had the same thinking but none dared to give their opinion out.

After all, Kong Yusheng didn’t even ask to take away her disciple and seems to be on the side of having Elder Jing continue to train the disciple.

“Cat got your tongue?” Elder Jing scoffed as she stood up. “Anyway, that disciple is called Yang Wei and I’m telling you this because you would never be able to snatch him from me- no matter how good your offer is.”

Afterward, she started walking to the door in the meeting room.

“Wait, Elder Jing, aren’t you going to stay here to discuss the suitable area?” Kong Yusheng suddenly said as they haven’t even finished their reason for this meeting.

Elder Jing shrugged her shoulders.

“Just have the examination conducted in the Misty Forest near our sect.” Elder Jing added as she shut the door.

Elder Shan smiled at the rest of the elders before leaving the meeting room as well. “Well, I need to catch an unruly disciple now so see you later.”

Kong Yusheng smiled bitterly when he basically had no authority over those two women. Even he was afraid of them and didn’t wish to get on their bad side.

“Sigh, we should continue with some more topics now,” Kong Yusheng said as he passed out the documents to everyone.

Meanwhile, Elder Shan got outside as she looked for Elder Jing.

When she spotted her, Elder Shan used her movement technique and appeared in front of Elder Jing.

“What do you want?” Elder Jing asked in an irritated tone.

“Isn’t that a bit rude for someone who helped you out in the meeting room?”

“It wouldn’t have mattered if you kept quiet either way. Hence, I feel no obligation to be polite to you.”

Elder Shan twitched her brows. “Hmph, since you want to be like that then I might as well be direct. Hand over Yang Wei.”

“You can dream about it.” Elder Jing rolled her eyes as she walked around her.

There was no way she would hand Yang Wei over to Elder Shan who could possibly devour him whole.

However, Elder Shan grasped her wrist as she sent a mental transmission to her. “You should probably listen since you wouldn’t want the entire sect to know that a sect elder had a sexual relationship with a disciple.”

Elder Jing held a cold expression as she flung her hand away. “So what if I did? The worst-case scenario would be expulsion.”

“Heh, the more you act like this, the more I want Yang Wei.” Elder Shan giggled as she said, “Don’t forget Yang Wei has broken the sect rules and escaped from punishment. I still have to punish him according to the sect rules.”

“If I remember correctly, it was your disciplinary hall elder being unruly and biased so why should Yang Wei be held responsible.”

Elder Jing and Elder Shan soon clashed with their auras, causing the ground to start cracking.
