Zeng Zifang smiled with delight.
This was the Qi she wanted, and Qian Duoduo gave it to her!
Her inner obsession was now released.
A warmth appeared on Zhao Family Old Ancestor's perpetually cold face, and he stepped forward, cupping his fists towards Qian Duoduo:
"May I ask Ba Zu, where is Zhao Yanran now? And how are the other Sect Knights?"
Besides Zhao Yanran, his eldest son, Zhao Baixiao, was also a Sect Knight.
If there was news of Zhao Yanran, there was a high possibility there would be news of Zhao Baixiao as well.
The Eight Ancestors' eyes, as fervent as torches, were fixed on Qian Duoduo.
Those who could become Sect Knights were, without exception, outstanding individuals of the Ba Ling Sect.
If they all returned, it would undoubtedly be a great help.
Qian Duoduo paused calmly for a moment before speaking: "They ran into some trouble, but I've already resolved it. I've passed on the Sect Knight Mystic Art to them, and they are currently Cultivating in the Zongshi Hall. I won't allow them to come out until they reach Golden Core Great Perfection!"
Ancestor Mo stepped forward, asking tremblingly: "Among the Sect Knights, is there Mo Yongyi of the Mo Family?"
"Yes."
Qian Duoduo nodded lightly.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Mo's eyes immediately blurred. "My elder brother is still alive! Thank you, Ba Zu!"
Mo Yongyi was Ancestor Mo's biological elder brother, and the two brothers had a deep bond.
Ancestor Mo was overjoyed to learn that his elder brother was still alive.
"Ba Zu," Shi Family Patriarch's body trembled slightly, "Is Sect Knight Shi Lingli well?"
Shi Lingli was Shi Family Patriarch's most outstanding and beloved youngest son.
"Good."
Qian Duoduo replied concisely.
Shi Family Patriarch took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Qian Duoduo. "Thank you, Ba Zu, I, Shi, am eternally grateful."
Seeing the excited expressions of these Old Ancestors, Qian Duoduo felt a stir of compassion. With a wave of his hand, he made the Zongshi Hall's main door transparent, allowing them to see inside from the outside, while those inside could not see out.
"Take a look."
Qian Duoduo pointed towards the Zongshi Hall, "To allow them to focus on Cultivating, I won't take you inside. When their cultivation is complete, I will naturally release them."
Zhao Family Old Ancestor, Ancestor Mo, and Shi Family Patriarch's eyes glowed as they watched the Sect Knights practicing inside the hall, finding the people they cared about, and couldn't help but let out exclamations of joy.
The other five Old Ancestors, besides looking at the Sect Knights, also observed the furnishings inside the hall.
Qian Duoduo only allowed them to see the central part of the main hall.
But even this central part was already extremely shocking to them.
One peak, one seat—the layout of this hall clearly indicated that the status of a Sect Knight was higher than that of a Peak Master.
With a wave of his hand, Qian Duoduo restored the Zongshi Hall's main door to its original state. "Old Ancestors, are you at ease now?"
The Old Ancestors heard that his words seemed to carry a hidden meaning, indicating impatience with their inquiries about the Sect Knights.
Zhao Family Old Ancestor, Ancestor Mo, and Shi Family Patriarch quickly took the lead in answering: "At ease, always at ease."
Only then did they remember that Qian Duoduo seemed to have said that the Sect Knights were Cultivating the Sect Knight Mystic Art he had given them.
The Sect Knight Mystic Art should be the highest Mystic Art of the Ba Ling Sect.
Mystic Arts were the super weapons for the various clans within the sect to establish themselves, and Ba Zu was truly generous to bring out eight of them at once.
If they served this Ba Zu well, was there hope of Breaking Through to the Celestial Realm?
The Ba Ling Sect's ancient texts recorded that the strength of the sect's first Ba Zu far surpassed that of Celestials.
Ancestor Zeng understood the Old Ancestors' thoughts and gave Zeng Zifang a meaningful look.
No matter what, Qian Duoduo, this revered Buddha, must be firmly enshrined in the Zeng Family.
If there was a chance to become a Celestial, the Zeng Family must be the first to obtain it.
Zeng Zifang swayed three times with each step, approaching Qian Duoduo, and frowned, saying: "Little Qian, it's getting late. Let's go rest."
Qian Duoduo looked up at the midday sun, and a chill ran through him.
