An hour later, in Sunken Moon Tower.
Ever since he met the so-called sect master, Yi Yun had been feeling uneasy. The elder gave Yi Yun a sense of extreme danger.
Yi Yun was not accustomed to putting himself in danger, but with the Dragon Emperor Technique and Old Snake around, he could only choose to continue staying in Myriad God Ridge.
"Young Master, the snacks are ready. Shall I serve them to you?"
Duanmu Qingwen bowed and said gently.
"There's no need. I'll be entering seclusion in a cultivation chamber. Don't disturb me."
As Yi Yun spoke, he walked straight into Sunken Moon Tower's cultivation chamber.
Duanmu Qingwen had no choice but to nod. She had been in Sunken Moon Tower for a few days but in fact, she had not had the chance to attend to Yi Yun's daily needs. She had not even met him a few times, much less served him. When she finally met him once, he would rush back into the cultivation chamber.
"Young Master sure is hardworking …"
Duanmu Qingwen had such a thought. She had no idea that Yi Yun's expression was terrible inside the cultivation chamber.
There was something wrong with Sunken Moon Tower's cultivation chamber!
Logically speaking, once the cultivation chamber's array formation was activated, it would be completely isolated from the outside world. No one could probe the situation inside the cultivation chamber. However, the Myriad God Ridge's sect master knew of his whereabouts. It was likely that the cultivation chamber's array formation had a backdoor that allowed the old man to easily monitor him.
Thankfully, Yi Yun had not done anything that touched on his secrets during the past few days of cultivation. If he had, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"This Myriad God Ridge doesn't even have a private place for me. I really can't stay here any longer."
Who would be willing to be monitored daily? Yi Yun did not know if the other personal disciples were the same. Perhaps it was because of his special status that allowed him to stir the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
As Yi Yun pondered over the matter, he suddenly noticed a figure in the corner of the room through the corner of his eye.
The figure appeared silently, as if it had always been there. This gave Yi Yun a fright. When he focused his eyes, he saw that it was a short old man. His wrinkled face had a familiar wretched smile hanging on it.
"Old Snake!"
Yi Yun was rendered speechless. The old fellow had suddenly appeared without any warning. He was like a ghost. If he was not mentally prepared, he would have been given a fright.
"It looks like you are being monitored."
The elder stroked his beard and looked around Yi Yun's cultivation room.
"Why are you here when you know?"
Yi Yun said snappily. However, he knew that for Old Snake to dare do such a thing, he was probably confident in avoiding surveillance.
Although Old Snake did not seem like a proper person, his strength was not to be doubted.
"Hehe, it's precisely because I know that I'm here. I've already taken care of this Surveillance Array Formation for you. Hurry up and thank me. Otherwise, if you and your servant girl do something naughty and someone is watching, how awkward would that be!"
Old Snake said as he clapped his hands, revealing an expression that said 'you know what I mean.'
When Yi Yun heard this, he did not know what to say. This old fellow was already so old, yet he had such a glib tongue.
"How did you solve it? Since that old fellow laid down the formation, it was to monitor me. If he discovered that the formation had been altered, wouldn't it be easier for him to suspect me?"
"Haha! How could I make such a low-level mistake? That Myriad God Ridge's sect master thinks that he has a good foundation in array formations. He set up a secret Surveillance Array Formation but in my hands, that Array Formation is nothing more than a trifling trick. I'll use a new Array Formation to cover it. When the time comes, as long as you do not wish to be monitored by that old fellow, you can activate my Array Formation. That way, he will see you meditating and cultivating. You can do whatever you want. That old fellow is still too immature compared to me. "
Old Snake said casually, completely disregarding the Myriad God Ridge's sect master. Although Old Snake appeared to be good at bragging, Yi Yun knew that the old fellow was still reliable at critical moments.
As such, Yi Yun finally did not need to be constantly monitored. If not, he would not even be able to stay a day in Sunken Moon Tower.
Yi Yun said, "Didn't you say that you would take action soon? The Myriad God Ridge's sect master doesn't seem like a benevolent person. I do not wish to continue risking my life here. "
"I do wish to, but … the Myriad God Ridge's patriarch is about to return. Taking action will probably have to be delayed."
"Myriad God Ridge's patriarch?"
Yi Yun's breathing stagnated. The Myriad God Ridge's sect master was enough to make him feel dangerous and difficult to deal with. As for the Myriad God Ridge's patriarch, he was a lot more mysterious and powerful than the sect master.
He could not help but look suspiciously at Old Snake. This old fellow should be able to deal with the Myriad God Ridge's patriarch, right?
Old Snake could read Yi Yun's thoughts as he curled his lips disdainfully. "Why? Punk, are you suspecting me? It's just a Myriad God Ridge's patriarch. With me around, you can rest assured. "
As Old Snake spoke, he chuckled and patted Yi Yun on the shoulder. "Chenxue entrusted you to me, so how could I possibly scam you? Don't you think so?"
Yi Yun wore a look of disbelief. By triggering the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, it could be said that he was pulling chestnuts out of the fire. He had to be careful or he might end up being used by the old man.
As Yi Yun was pondering over the matter, his personal disciple token suddenly flashed with a beam of light. It was a voice transmission from the token.
A summoning order!
Two hours later, all personal disciples and Elders were to head for Myriad God Ridge's Jade Emperor Palace to await the return of the Myriad God Patriarch!
The Myriad God Patriarch had really returned. Yi Yun looked at Old Snake in surprise. Old Snake's words were truly accurate. However, how did the old fellow know of the Myriad God Patriarch's whereabouts?
Old Snake stroked his beard and said smugly, "As long as I put in the effort to probe the entire Myriad God Ridge, no one can hide from my eyes."
Yi Yun was also impressed by Old Snake. Having such an ally naturally made him feel more at ease.
However, he was somewhat puzzled. The summoning order did not seem like the Myriad God Patriarch's usual style.
Although he had just entered the Myriad God Ridge, he had heard from many people about the Myriad God Patriarch's character. He was extremely mysterious and his whereabouts were unknown. Even Elders and personal disciples had no chance of meeting the Myriad God Patriarch. In fact, there were very few rumors about the Myriad God Patriarch, much less meeting him.
In the Myriad God Ridge, the sect master was already a lofty existence. As for the Myriad God Patriarch, he was equivalent to a legend.
But today, the Myriad God Patriarch had returned and he had summoned all his personal disciples and Elders to receive him. That itself was unusual. Could the Myriad God Patriarch have summoned them for some reason?
In fact, while Yi Yun was feeling puzzled, many other personal disciples and Elders were equally puzzled when they received the news.
Of course, most of them were pleasantly surprised!
The Myriad God Patriarch was a god-like figure in the Myriad God Ridge. Being able to meet the Myriad God Patriarch was definitely a fortuitous opportunity. If one could gain even a tiny bit of recognition from the Myriad God Patriarch, it would be akin to ascending to the heavens in a single bound, allowing one to obtain countless opportunities.
This made many people look forward to the Myriad God Patriarch's return.
