Chapter 388: Chapter 242 Two Forms Spirit Sword

Eternal Dynasty.

Lingzhou, Spiritual King Mansion.

The Spiritual King Mansion has been passed down to this day, already over a hundred thousand years old. Although it is nothing compared to its peak period, having declined significantly, it still possesses a formidable foundation.

At this moment, in one of the halls, several high-ranking officials of the Spiritual King Mansion gazed at three shattered Life Plates, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The Life Plate shattered, meaning the Primordial Spirit of the Plate’s owner has collapsed, indicating they have fallen.

Yet the owners of these three Life Plates were all beings of the Longevity Secret Realm.

"Quick, quickly report to the Ancestor King."

One person stammered.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared. It was a fat elderly man.

"Greetings, Ancestor King...."

The others hurriedly knelt down.

The fat elderly man didn’t speak, walked to the front, and looked at the three shattered Life Plates.

"What is going on here?"

He spoke in a deep voice.

The Spiritual King Mansion was already not as formidable as before, and now it had lost three Longevity Secret Realm experts, including one who was at the twenty-nine steps of Return to Void.... Even the newly appointed Spirit King had fallen.

"Ancestor King..."

The person who had spoken earlier dared not conceal anything, "His Highness and Elder Weng, Elder Chou went to the Heavenly Spring Gobi to gather Dao Rhythmic items for Emperor Tiandu...."

"Hmph, what audacity, even I wasn’t informed of this matter."

The fat elderly man snorted coldly.

Although he was the Ancestor King of the Spiritual King Mansion, he did not manage affairs closely, focusing on closed-door cultivation.... Yet he knew nothing of such a significant event.

Actually, he was not satisfied with the newly appointed Spirit King, considering his temperament to be eccentric, believing him taking the mantle of Spirit King would not be a blessing for the Spiritual King Mansion; however, among the younger generation of the mansion, there wasn’t anyone outstanding, only the newly appointed Spirit King Wen Qing and the former Spirit King’s daughter Wen Wan seemed somewhat capable.

Originally, he favored Wen Wan, after all, she was the daughter of the former Spirit King, who sacrificed and fell in the battle of Zexi for the Spiritual King Mansion, but she bore a child out of wedlock, sullying the mansion’s reputation, forcing him to reluctantly abandon her and eventually choose Wen Qing.

But now, it seems he had indeed made a wrong choice.

In a short time, three Longevity Secret Realm experts had been lost.

Then, another person rushed in anxiously, "Report, Ancestor King, the Grand Elder of the Tianya Xin Family has sent a message, questioning why Xin Lin Mage and Elder Min fell?"

"What?"

The fat elderly man frowned slightly, "Did Xin Lin Mage and Elder Min follow along too?"

"Yes, yes, Ancestor King."

The person who had replied earlier hurriedly said.

"Why was such a serious matter not reported to me?"

The fat elderly man angrily questioned.

Everyone present kept silent with fear.

"Ancestor King, it was His Highness who forbade us from speaking, saying if any issues arose, he would take full responsibility...."

The person hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Hmph, you are all elders of my Spiritual King Mansion, I made you the mansion’s masters, not to follow him in causing trouble."

The fat elderly man snorted coldly.

Now such a significant issue has arisen.

The mansion suffered a loss of three Longevity Realm experts, not to mention the Xin Family also lost a Longevity Realm elder, along with a Twelve Foundation Array Master.

The Xin Family probably wouldn’t let this pass easily, and this loss would likely be counted against the Spiritual King Mansion.

After venting his anger, the fat elderly man coldly asked, "What was their target this time?"

"Report, Ancestor King, it was the Heavenly Sword Stele of Heavenly Sword Manor."

An elder hurriedly replied.

"Although Heavenly Sword Manor is a major force in the Heavenly Spring Gobi, the strongest Manor Master Lin Wushuang is only at most at the twenty-something steps of Return to Void, and his longevity is limited.... Could other forces have interfered?"

The fat elderly man stood with hands behind his back, speaking deeply.

"Ancestor King.... I heard His Highness had planned to join forces with Netherworld Palace to attack Heavenly Sword Manor... This way, our Spiritual King Mansion would not be exposed."

This elder said.

"Four Longevity Secret Realm experts, among them two over twenty steps of Return to Void, one Twelve Foundation Array Master, joining forces with Netherworld Palace, conquering Heavenly Sword Manor shouldn’t be difficult..."

The fat elderly man rubbed his forehead, feeling this matter was extremely tricky.

Such a powerful lineup being completely trapped, one can imagine it involves higher-level forces.

Could Heavenly Sword Manor have backing from the Great Yue Dynasty or Golden Demon Court?

"Since the Spirit King is dead, bring Wen Wan back."

The fat elderly man sighed and said.

Though Wen Wan made mistakes, she is after all the most outstanding disciple of the Spiritual King Mansion, and now only she can bear the burden of the mansion.

"This...."

The elder hesitated.

"What?"

The fat elderly man frowned slightly.

"Ancestor King.... Princess passed away decades ago and left the Eternal Dynasty, whereabouts unknown, life or death uncertain...."

That elder said.

"What?"

The fat elderly man’s expression changed slightly, "What exactly happened?"

As the daughter of the former Spirit King, even though she made mistakes and lost the right to succeed as Spirit King, she had the potential for the Longevity Secret Realm and was absolutely worth cultivating, how could she leave the Eternal Dynasty?

"Ancestor King, before His Highness became Spirit King, he was always hunting down Princess."

The elder said.

Now that the Spirit King is dead, he naturally felt no need to hide.

"This troublesome thing."

The fat elderly man’s face turned pale, he hadn’t expected Wen Qing to be so malicious, using such ruthless methods on his own cousin to compete for the Spirit King position.

"Where is Wen Wan’s Life Plate?"

He took a deep breath and asked.

"It was taken by His Highness long ago."

This elder said.

The fat elderly man involuntarily shut his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

This means whether Wen Wan is alive or dead is completely unknown.
