Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!-Chapter 952 - 861: The True Identity of Ban Explorers

Song Jiyuan was immediately shocked. How had Rencheng Elder ended up like this when they had been fine upon departure?

"It's me... We were ambushed by Wu Jianghe... He did not die in the Martial Desolate Realm..."

From within the white jade, Rencheng's weakened voice emerged, saying,

"I used my Lifesaving Jade Talisman, and only a trace of my soul remains..."

Song Jiyuan was startled. Wu Jianghe... he wasn't dead?

At that moment, Song Jiyuan was covered in cold sweat, immensely grateful that he had followed Ao Wushuang.

Otherwise, had he stayed where he was, he surely would have been dead for certain!

"Elder Ren, what should we do now?"

Song Jiyuan spoke.

Within the talisman, Rencheng said,

"The Chaos Sun-Shooting Bow is too strong... Although I managed to survive, there is still the possibility that the talisman could shatter... Quickly, take me back to the organization!"

He was somewhat anxious because the jade talisman was his last chance at life; once it broke, he would be utterly annihilated!

Hearing this, Song Jiyuan immediately sprung into action, preparing to activate the Teleportation Array.

However, at this moment, Ao Wushuang suddenly said,

"Elder Ren, I wish you a long life of a hundred years, and believe me, your jade talisman will definitely not break!"

Rencheng said, "I thank you..."

Before he could finish the word "this," Rencheng suddenly let out a pained cry.

The lifesaving white jade talisman shattered completely.

A pool of grey pus flowed from it before evaporating, signifying that Rencheng was truly dead.

Gone without a trace!

Watching the Teleportation Array, Song Jiyuan was stunned by the sight.

"Elder Rencheng..."

He murmured, glancing at Ao Wushuang subconsciously.

Why did he feel there was something sinister about this Ao brother?

Ao Wushuang watched the shattered talisman, releasing a sigh of relief.

That's for forcing me to go to the Martial Desolate Realm!

But his face suddenly became extremely sorrowful as he said,

"Such a tragic death for Elder Rencheng..."

"Let's hurry back to the organization!"

"This place is not safe!"

Song Jiyuan nodded silently, and immediately, both stepped into the Teleportation Array and vanished.

...

True Ancestor World.

A certain dense and mysterious place.

Within the Supreme Hall of the Ban-Exploring Organization,

"Sword Venerable has already emerged... The item sent over from the Grey Mist Sea was indeed useful."

Hui'an's face revealed a hint of a smile, saying,

"The Martial Desolate Realm should be destroyed..."

"This realm... is not far from the Demon King."

"We, too, will eventually return there."

They were all looking forward to it.

"Report!"

But at that moment, an urgent voice suddenly rang out from outside, as Wan Chongyun, the head of the Outer Sect Elders, hurried in, saying,

"Reporting to all the Supreme Elders, there has been an incident!"

—Huihe and others are the highest-ranking Supreme Elders, hence, Wan Chongyun addressed them as Supreme.

"Our dispatched Elder Rencheng... has also died!"

Upon hearing this, Huihe, Hui'an, and the others all furrowed their brows slightly.

Could this mean there's been some mistake?

"There's news coming from over there."

At that time, another elder suddenly appeared in the hall.

The elder was clothed in a thick, grey robe made of stonelike material, his muscles resembling stones, his face expressionless as if he were a zombie.

Upon this elder's appearance, Huihe and the others immediately rose to their feet, their faces grave as they said,

"Elder Du."

Their tone was very respectful.

This elder, named Du Yuan, held a very high position within the Ban-Exploring Organization and had a special identity.

Even the matter of the Ban Master's Bone resurrection did not concern Du Yuan, for he oversaw another supremely secret hall.

That hall... could receive messages from the other side of the Heavenly Abyss... from the Grey Mist Sea!

Each time Du Yuan appeared, it signified that there must have been a major change.

Thus, Huihe and the others all looked towards Du Yuan anxiously, waiting.

Du Yuan's wooden voice, devoid of emotion, said,

"The charred black box we gave you contained a segment of True Bone."

"Using that segment of True Bone, a powerful individual from the Grey Mist Sea descended into the Martial Desolate Realm."

"But that powerful being was killed."

As these words fell, it was like a clap of thunder that shocked everyone. Huihe and the others were completely aghast!

Could it be that a being has crossed the boundaries...and descended into the Martial Desolate Realm?

For a moment, they suddenly all understood.

That charred box... it contained a segment of "True Bone."

And to descend through the True Bone... this meant it had at least reached... High Road Level!

But, a being of such caliber was assassinated?

This truly was earth-shattering!

"A High Road Level Ultimate Being was killed in the Martial Desolate Realm?"

Hui'an felt his mind buzzing with disbelief... this was beyond their comprehension.

It's known that the current ceiling of power in the Martial Desolate Realm... is that of an Ultimate Being!

The Ascendant Path symbolizes invincibility!

Yet now, a being of the Ascendant Path...is dead.

"Could it be that there are other Ascendant Path beings hidden within the Martial Desolate Realm?"

"No, the beings of the Ascendant Path in the Martial Desolate Realm are all in the Sacrificial Temple, unless they took action..."

There was a buzz of discussions among the crowd.

But Du Yuan continued to speak:

"The murderer also came from the Grey Mist Sea."

"And it is none other than the renowned Sword Ancestor from within the Grey Mist Sea!"

"Besides the Sword Ancestor, among those who followed The End of Myriad Paths that year, and entered this realm, there are still over a dozen powerful individuals!"

He concisely told Huihe and the others the legends circulating in the Grey Mist Sea.

Upon hearing this, Huihe and the others looked at each other, astounded.

This...classified as an ancient great secret!

It concerned the survival of the Ancestral Realm!

"The Grey Mist Sea will have to resolve these individuals before they can come over," Du Yuan declared.

Huihe's face turned incredibly grim as he said:

"Elder Du, with our power, I'm afraid we cannot contend with beings of that magnitude, unless... unless Forbidden Lord Bu resurrects..."

Du Yuan glanced at the White Bone Coffin in the great hall with a respectful look in his eyes and said:

"There's no need for the Ban Master himself to act in this matter."

"People will be sent from the Grey Mist Sea to handle this."

"What you all need to do now is ensure that the people sent from the Grey Mist Sea are safely received into the Ancestral Realm by the Sacrificial Temple."

"Don't let those obstinate guardians of the Heavenly Abyss mess up this crucial task."

They, the Ban Explorers, had no one at the Frontier Bone Great Wall...

But the Sacrificial Temple did, the Nine Eternal Ancient Clans did.

Tasked with reception duties, they could not manage, only the Sacrificial Temple could take on this role.

"Alright, we'll see to it now."

Huihe and the others bowed to Du Yuan.

Du Yuan nodded, turned, and vanished from sight.

"Who could have imagined, in the Martial Desolate Realm, there'd be beings of such a level hidden..."

Hui'an's face was stern as he said:

"The situation is becoming increasingly complex."

Huihe also spoke up, saying:

"The more complex it gets, the more cautious we need to be... It would have been better if the Ban Master had awakened sooner; with his eminence present, he could flatten this realm easily!"

He looked towards the White Bone Coffin.

Lately, the sound of bones clacking could occasionally be heard from the White Bone Coffin.

It was as if the bones were wrestling inside...

This proved that the Ban Master was recovering nicely, actively exercising his body every day!

"By the way..."

Suddenly, Huihe said: "Ren Cheng is dead... What about the Ban Master's Bone?!"

His face grew somber as he said:

"The Ban Master's Bone... must not be mishandled!"

It was too important!

And just then, another elder burst in, a look of great joy on his face, and said:

"I bring joyous news to all the Supreme Elders, great tidings indeed!"

"The Ban Master's Bone has been brought back and has regained vitality!"

Hearing this, Huihe and the others were astonished.

It was actually brought back and had even regained vitality?

"What happened?!"

They demanded an answer.

The elder ecstatically reported: "To inform all the Supreme Elders, Song Jiyuan and Ao Wushuang, they didn't die after all and brought the Ban Master's Bone back safely!"

With that, he presented the Jade Box in his hands.

Upon inspection, Huihe and the others indeed saw another piece of bone in the Jade Box!

The dense array of cracks that once marred the bone had vanished, replaced now by bloodlines!

Pulsating with life!

"Excellent... This is excellent!"

Huihe exclaimed joyfully:

"Open the coffin, and immediately take the bones to the Ban Master!"

The other elders also sprung into action.

And at that moment, as if the Ban Master could hear the conversation outside, the White Bone Coffin began to make intense thudding noises, as if the Ban Master's Bone was desperately banging on the lid of the coffin in impatience.

"Quick, the Ban Master can hardly wait any longer, bring it inside now!"

The Master Decoder Huihe spoke with excitement.

Ban Master:

"..."

...

Working over the weekend, looks like an all-nighter tonight, damn those higher-ups.

Goodnight.
