Chapter 1073 Ao Zhan
"It's Senior Ao Zhan!"
Ao Qing was overjoyed, recognizing the old, bloodthirsty ant as their senior, named Ao Zhan.
Even his father could only consider himself a junior in front of the other party!
This person is a living fossil, having lived for millions of years, and his strength is unfathomable.
"Senior Ao Zhan!"
Even He Nan didn't dare to be presumptuous. He bowed, clasped his hands respectfully, and showed great respect.
However, he was still somewhat dissatisfied: "Senior, there are foreign races causing trouble in my Bloodthirsty Sky Ant territory. I want to kill them. Why are you interfering?"
"Although I have never been born, I am not completely unaware of the situation outside. I am not stupid. You know very well why I am intervening."
Ao Zhan said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, He Nan's expression changed repeatedly; Ao Zhan had immediately seen through his thoughts!
Ao Zhan did not delve into the matter further, but instead said:
"Let's leave it at that! Delving into this further won't do anyone any good!"
"Yes!"
Although He Nan was unhappy, she could only let it go for the time being. If she really investigated it further and it got out of hand, many things would be affected.
Now that he has secured his position as the acting young master, he has many ways to get rid of Lin Yan and Ao Qing, so there is no need to rush.
Ao Qing also stopped attacking and did not continue.
Because if things get out of hand, it won't be good for him either! He's only just returned to his clan, and he hasn't even figured out what's going on there yet!
Even if you're going to turn against someone, you have to wait until you have some trump cards up your sleeve.
"go!"
He Nan led the group away.
Ao Qing, Lin Yan, and the others followed behind Ao Zhan and arrived at the fiefdom.
"For the time being, you can stay on my territory. Ao Qing's young master's palace has already been occupied by He Nan... You don't need to worry about anything happening here with me!"
Ao Zhan spoke.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Kid, what happened to you back then? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Ao Zhan looked at Ao Qing.
"I was ambushed back then... I accidentally received a message that there was an opportunity within the Eternal Abyss that could transform the bloodline of the Divine Insects, so I went there. As a result, I was ambushed by men in black within the Eternal Abyss, and in the end, I was lucky enough to escape with my life and fled to the Void Starfield..."
Aoqing said.
"This matter is probably related to He Nan."
Lin Yan analyzed.
"It must be related, otherwise how could that guy have risen so quickly after I disappeared? And even become the acting young master?"
"However, this matter is not so simple. As far as I know, I was not the only one who went to the Eternal Abyss. There were other geniuses and prodigies as well."
Ao Qing looked at the few divine insects beside him. These few divine insects had gone to the Eternal Abyss with him. In fact, there were many geniuses of the divine insect race at that time, but they suffered heavy casualties and only a few of them survived.
Some of the Insectoid race's bloodlines are even comparable to his!
"This matter seems to involve a lot more!"
Ao Zhan muttered to himself.
"Senior Ao Zhan, have you noticed something?"
Ao Qing inquired.
"In recent years, changes have occurred within the various divine insect races of the Myriad Insect Sea Realm. Some divine insect races have even disappeared for tens of thousands of years, as if they have vanished. If you think about it carefully, it all comes down to what happened in the Eternal Abyss!"
Ao Zhan Dao.
"Who on earth is this person? How could they interfere with the entire Myriad Insect Sea Realm? So many races are involved, even a Saint King wouldn't have that kind of ability!" Upon hearing this, Ao Qing was shocked.
"That's unclear! But there's definitely something wrong with this matter. However, with our current strength and influence, we can't solve it yet. The most urgent thing is to deal with the problems within the clan first."
Ao Zhan Dao.
"By the way, where is my father? I haven't sensed his presence since I came back." Ao Qing suddenly remembered something.
The reason he dared to cause trouble in the territory of the Bloodthirsty Sky Ants was because he had his father backing him up.
But as a result, the matter escalated, and his father did not show up.
He could no longer even sense his father's presence.
This made him feel uneasy.
"I'm afraid something has happened to your father..."
Ao Zhan Dao.
"What? Senior Ao Zhan, what happened to my father?!"
Ao Qing's expression changed drastically.
“Since you disappeared, your father has never come out of seclusion in the ancestral cave. We didn’t notice anything unusual at first, but ten thousand years ago, your father’s soul jade suddenly shattered!”
Ao Zhan said solemnly.
"My father is dead? That's impossible! He was just in seclusion cultivating, how could he possibly be dead!"
Ao Qing trembled, her emotions running high, finding it hard to accept this statement.
He left home for 30,000 years, and as a result, everything in his family changed, and his father was gone too.
“I also think there’s something fishy about this. Logically speaking, even if your father failed to break through to the Saint King Realm, it should at least have attracted a Heavenly Tribulation. The commotion would have been felt throughout the entire Myriad Insect Sea Realm. But no great tribulation occurred at that time… Unfortunately, your father’s Soul Jade shattered, and you went missing. So many changes happened within the clan at that time. In order to stabilize the situation within the clan, we elected a young master and made He Nan the acting young master.”
Ao Zhan explained.
"I don't believe my father is dead! He must still be alive! I'm going to the ancestral cave to see!"
Aoqing said.
"I don't believe it either, but there are rules in the clan that only the clan leader is qualified to enter the ancestral cave, and no one else is qualified! Otherwise, I would have gone in long ago."
Ao Zhan was helpless.
The Ancestral Cave is the most important place for the Bloodthirsty Sky Ant Clan. Successive clan leaders and elders at the Yuanhai Realm or above who are about to pass away will enter it.
No one else is allowed to enter; otherwise, they will be severely punished according to clan rules!
"Damn it, does this mean that if I want to go to the ancestral cave, I have to become the clan leader first? But I'm not the young master yet... It won't be so easy for me to take back the position of young master..."
Ao Qing's face was gloomy.
"Isn't there any way for someone in your clan to compete for the position of young master? For example, why don't you challenge He Nan?"
Lin Yan was puzzled.
In the human race, similar rules are usually set up: other members of the race challenge the young master, and whoever can defeat the young master can become the new young master.
"Yes, but I'm no match for him! The gap is too big; it'll be difficult to catch up in a short time!"
A proud, bitter smile.
Although he was very confident, he wasn't stupid.
With the power of his bloodline, he can fight against an ordinary second-level Yuanhai Realm cultivator, but defeating a third-level Yuanhai Realm cultivator is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
He Nan is not an ordinary Yuanhai Realm Level 3 cultivator, but a Yuanhai Realm Level 3 cultivator with a gold-grade bloodline. His true combat strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Yuanhai Realm Level 3 cultivator.
The two sides are two levels apart in strength!
"What if I could play in your place?"
Lin Yan inquired.
Whether out of brotherhood or for his own benefit, he had to find a way to make Ao Qing the young clan leader; otherwise, the Void Star Domain would not be able to withstand the next attack from the Demon Ancestor Star Domain!
"No! You are an outsider, how could you fight in my place? It's against the clan rules! Not to mention you, even within the clan, no one without a bloodline of silver rank or higher is qualified to compete for the position of young master!"
Ao Qing shook his head.
"Isn't this a fatal flaw?"
Lin Yan's face was grim.
"The problems don't stop there... Don't forget, He Nan already knows Ao Qing is back, and he won't wait for us to resist. He will definitely take action!"
"That female genius from the Butterfly Clan said."
Upon hearing this, the men's expressions turned grave once more; the situation was far more serious and complicated than they had imagined!
