Chapter 2070: Ninth-order Ancient Martial Artist
Hua Yan led the three, including Gu Zhiqi, to the wing rooms in the backyard.
On the way there, Su Yunling suddenly spoke. "This Formation seems like only a Ninth-order Ancient Martial Arts practitioner can activate it." Saying this, Su Yunling paused and looked at Hua Yan. "So you are... a Ninth-order Ancient Martial Arts practitioner?"
Hua Yan nodded. "Yes, Grandmaster."
The moment Hua Yan said that, Mo Weiran was directly stunned. "Ninth-order Ancient Martial Arts? What kind of concept is that? Sis, you’re amazing."
As soon as Mo Weiran said that, Hua Yan burst out laughing. "I’m no ’sis’. If we really count age, I could at least be your ancestor from a dozen generations back."
Mo Weiran: ?
"Huh?"
Hua Yan arched her pretty brows and tilted up her chin. "This old lady is almost nine hundred years old."
Mo Weiran was shocked.
He had never expected Hua Yan to already be over nine hundred years old.
This...
She only looked about twenty-four or twenty-five.
"And besides, Ninth Order isn’t anything rare. It’s just... one rank higher than my Little Master." As Hua Yan spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Zhiqi, then lifted her hand and lightly patted the top of Gu Zhiqi’s head.
Gu Zhiqi: "If you want to talk, just talk. Don’t touch."
"Aiya, you’re just so cute." Hua Yan ignored her, and as she spoke, she even gave Gu Zhiqi’s little face a light pinch.
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
This fellow... really has no respect for her age.
"Then sis... uh, Senior, in this Nine Stars City, are there a lot of really powerful Ancient martial artists?" As for the Ancient martial artists in the outside world, Mo Weiran had gotten a rough idea from Lu Xingzhe and Qiao Qingshu.
He was quite curious about the Ancient martial artists in Nine Stars City.
Hua Yan listened and began counting on her fingers. "There are countless Ancient martial artists in Nine Stars City. If you’re talking about powerful ones... cultivators at the seventh order, Eighth Order, and Ninth Order are relatively few, and they’re the type no one dares to mess with."
"As for Ninth-order ancient martial artist... besides me, I only know of one more, the dean of Nine Stars Academy."
"For Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artists, counting my master, there seem to be five on my master’s side. In Nine Stars Academy there are four. Over with the Guard Army, besides Young Master Gu and Patriarch Gu, there are two more. As for the others..." Speaking up to here, her gaze paused, and she suddenly looked at Su Yunling. "If I’m not mistaken, Grandmaster should also be an Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist, right?"
Su Yunling nodded.
Hua Yan had a "just as expected" expression.
After counting, she couldn’t think of any more. "That’s all I know, but it’s not like there couldn’t be hidden Ancient martial artists. Like those hidden on Angel’s side in Nine Stars City—every now and then a bunch of powerful Ancient martial artists just pop up out of nowhere."
"As for Seventh-order Ancient Martial Artists, they’re not a common sight, but there are quite a few. Altogether, they shouldn’t exceed a hundred. Aside from the various family heads, most of them are gathered in Nine Stars Academy and the City Lord’s Mansion Guard Army."
Hearing this, Mo Weiran nodded in understanding, but he couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional. He hadn’t expected there to be so many powerful Ancient martial artists in Nine Stars City.
As a Second-order primary stage Ancient martial artist, if he provoked those big shots, he’d probably be one-shotted into slag.
During their conversation, they had already arrived outside the room. Hua Yan pushed the door open. "Here then. The Formation of this room is very sturdy, so even if something happens in a bit, it won’t affect the outside."
Gu Zhiqi nodded and stepped into the room.
After Su Yunling entered, he took a look around the room, then turned to Hua Yan and asked, "May I ask whose handiwork the Formation in this room is?"
Hua Yan: "It’s a Formation Master from Nine Stars Academy, an Eighth Order Formation Master."
