Ling Fan snorted coldly.
A breath was released.
And the moment they felt this breath, the tall statue of Emperor Zhou family in front of them actually began to vibrate, as if the heroic spirit of Emperor Zhou family had manifested from the depths of the void. Two lines of bloody tears flowed from the statue's eyes!
The statue's body also tilted forward, as if bowing to Ling Fan.
"You wicked creature, how dare you be so presumptuous!" The vast will was so enraged by Ling Fan's words that it was about to explode, but as it was about to act, it discovered the change in the statue of Emperor Zhou family, and the will could not help but exclaim in shock.
"Why is the statue of our Ancestor Emperor like this..."
"This... this is!"
Boom!
Two more powerful wills descended.
The three old ancestors of the Zhou family had projected their wills over.
Just like the previous will, the two wills that came later were also extremely shocked.
It was not that they were so shocked.
Because this statue of the Ancestor Emperor was not just a statue.
It contained an Emperor Formation laid down by the Zhou family ancestor Zhou Yun Chang, which had already given birth to a formation spirit with independent consciousness and possessed terrifying power that could predict the divine and govern the heavens. Even a Saint King would only bleed to death before this Emperor Formation.
This was also one of the supreme foundations of the Zhou family.
Even the three old ancestors of the Zhou family, who were at the Saint King realm, had to be respectful and dare not act presumptuously before this statue of Zhou Yun Chang.
But now, this statue was actually bowing to a young junior, and shedding bloody tears, as if there were some unknowable connection and origin. This completely shocked the three of them.
Suddenly.
They seemed to have thought of something.
They trembled in unison.
The three wills communicated intensely with each other.
"In this world, there is only one person who can make our Ancestor Emperor bow and salute. Besides him, no one else is worthy of our Ancestor Emperor's礼."
"Could it be that he has returned?"
"Impossible! That person clearly died long ago. This was witnessed by all the powerhouses in the Ten Great Heavenly Realms. His soul was scattered, and he didn't even have a chance to reincarnate and seize a body. How could he return!"
"But if it's not him, how can we explain the anomaly of the Ancestor Emperor's statue? Although this statue is not the Ancestor Emperor's true body, it contains the Emperor Formation laid down by the Ancestor Emperor, which is equivalent to a clone of the Ancestor Emperor. Look at those two lines of bloody tears. Could it be that the Ancestor Emperor sensed the appearance of that person and was filled with grief, shedding tears for him?"
"Unspeakable! Unspeakable! If this young man is really that person, it would be great, but this possibility is very small, almost impossible."
"Then if it's not that person, could it be his descendant, or his successor?"
"The descendant of the First Saint General just now was called Ling Sheng! This person's surname is Ling! He is also surnamed Ling! This surname is still the supreme taboo of the Ten Great Heavenly Realms."
"You must have seen it earlier. Although he has not become a Saint, he has suppressed two Saintly Prodigies consecutively, including Xiahou Yuan, who is a seventh-tier expert at the Half-step Manifestation realm. If it were anyone else, even a quasi-saint genius of the Ten Great Heavenly Realms, who could do this?"
The three wills fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, one person broke the silence: "No matter how much we discuss, we won't get a result. The truth of everything lies with this young man."
"Now there's a problem, how should we face him? Even if he has a great background, he is still just a young junior. Do we still have to bow to him? Moreover, he is too arrogant!"
"..."
"Two, don't you forget, the statue of our Ancestor Emperor is bowing to him. No matter who he is, we must treat this person according to the etiquette of our Ancestor Emperor."
"Indeed."
The three vast wills churned and communicated in the air. In less than a thousandth of a second, they vibrated countless times and reached an agreement.
Immediately, the three wills retracted sharply.
Then, three figures flashed, and three incomparably powerful figures descended. It was the true bodies of the three old ancestors of the Zhou family who had descended.
Then, Zhou Fusheng, Xiahou Xing, and everyone else saw a scene they would never forget.
The three old ancestors of the Zhou family, three highly respected Saint Kings, actually knelt down and paid homage to the audacious young man.
At that moment.
The entire scene was dead silent.
Everyone was shocked speechless, their minds went blank, and they almost lost the ability to think.
The Great Elder of Demon Suppression and Wang Meng, who knew some of Ling Fan's identity, trembled with excitement, "I knew it, I knew that Senior Ling Sheng's identity was extraordinary...!"
"How could this be!"
On the Xiahou family's side.
Everyone, led by Patriarch Xiahou Xing, had their eyes bulging out of their sockets.
Especially Xiahou Hu and Xiahou Yuan, who had just regained their mobility, felt a storm surge in their hearts, roaring repeatedly: "Why! Why would the three Saint Kings give such a noble kneeling salute to a madman and a wicked creature!"
Xiahou Xing suppressed his shock, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but he still couldn't guess Ling Fan's identity. However, the only thing he was sure of was that it was impossible for him to regain face today.
"Ancestor, what are you doing..."
Zhou Fusheng swallowed hard and said.
"Kneel down!"
"All Zhou family members, quickly kneel before Young Master Ling!"
An old ancestor of the Zhou family said majestically.
"Huala!"
Although they didn't know what had happened, all the Zhou family members knelt down towards Ling Fan like a tide.
If this scene were to spread.
The Zhou family, the foremost great clan in Xingzhou, with supreme origins, had everyone kneeling in salute to a young man under twenty years old. It would surely shock countless people.
Ling Fan ignored them, letting them kneel.
He still had his hands behind his back, looking at the statue of Zhou Yun Chang.
After a long time.
He sighed softly and withdrew his gaze from the statue.
"Young Master Ling, we boldly request Young Master Ling to grace us with your presence and resolve our doubts." The three old ancestors of the Zhou family bowed deeply.
"Get up, what do you want to ask."
Ling Fan said indifferently.
The three old ancestors of the Zhou family exchanged a glance, waved their hands, and a powerful force swept out, rolling everyone away. For a time, only Ling Fan, the three old ancestors of the Zhou family, and Patriarch Zhou Fusheng remained in the divine hall that enshrined the statue of the Ancestor Emperor.
"We boldly wish to ask, what is the relationship between Young Master Ling and our Ancestor Emperor, and why did the statue of our Ancestor Emperor shed bloody tears and perform a great salute before you!"
A Zhou family old ancestor with white hair and a wrinkled face asked solemnly.
"I am an old friend of your ancestor's master."
