162 Chapter 159: Ancestor (1/2)

Xu Ming walked behind the Sect Master. After leaving the place, both of them got on the flying beast of the Sect Master.

The beast started flying high in the air.

It flew in the air for quite sometime before the Sect Master commanded it to land on the ground.

Xu Ming noticed that they were far away from the Sect Master's residence and in a place that had no buildings nearby.

The beast landed on the empty grasslands in the middle of nowhere.

The sect master got off the beast, and Xu Ming followed behind him.

The Sect Master continued walking  ahead as he looked at the ground carefully as if he was looking for something. After some time, he stopped at a certain spot.

There was a hexagonal shape carved at the place on the ground. The Sect Master brought out something from his storage ring that seemed like the badge similar to the one that he had given to Xu Ming. It was slightly bigger than Xu Ming's badge, and it was hexagonal in shape, which seemed to be the same size as the carving that was on the ground.

The Sect Master placed his badge on the ground above the carving. Both to them seemed to be on perfect alignment before the Sect Master pressed the badge lightly.

After he did that, he picked up the badge and placed it back in his storage ring.

Xu Ming looked at everything curiously from behind, wondering what was going to happen. This whole thing felt somewhat new, but he could guess that it was probably a secret method to open some place.

”Follow me,” the Sect Master said as he stepped 19 steps forward.

Xu Ming also walked after him so that he was standing close to him. He didn't want to screw anything up at the moment.

The Sect Master stopped after the 19th step and didn't move anymore as if he was done with whatever he was doing. Xu Ming also waited to see what would happen next. He was waiting to see some secret passageway according to his thoughts.

After a few more minutes, Xu Ming heard a noise. He could see the ground shaking slowly which was barely noticeable if someone wasn't careful.

A crack started developing on the ground in front of them, which became wider. After it was wide enough, Xu Ming noticed the stairs inside the cavity.

”Let's go in. Don't be afraid,” the Sect Master said to him as he stepped towards the stairs and entered underground.

”This is weird. He wouldn't be sacrificing you, would he?” Valeria muttered with a wry smile on his face.

”It shouldn't be that. I think I have a general idea what he might be doing,” Xu Ming muttered as he stepped forth.

He stepped on the stairs as well and went down.

There was a long hallway at the end of the stairs where the Sect Master was waiting for him.

”It's not far now. We'll reach there in 5 minutes,” the Sect Master said as he continued ahead.
