The Adventures Of The Young Master

Ancient Ming Clan's Main Meeting Hall. The sun had finally set in the west as it painted the sky reddish orange. The sky started to darken, and as well as the expressions of people inside the main meeting hall.

"Are you sure you're not fabricating any of this, Elder Mao? You know that that world is just a backward world not mentioning in front of us. How would someone defeat Lai Ming, who's already at the Immortal Realm?" One of the high elders, High Elder Zhang, asked Mao Ming with doubt.

Mao Ming called every elder and high elders present in the clan to hold a meeting which they accepted knowing that it was a report about the mission given to Lai Ming and Jyu Ming. He explained and did not miss any detail that was reported to him by his son and let everyone knew about this. However, points of doubts were raised against him as the scenario was too unbelievable. After all, they only knew that there were only two Immortals lurking in that backward world, and they were sure that Lai Ming could kill them without batting an eye.

They expected that it was a piece of good news. But to think it was the opposite? What's more, Lai Ming was killed, someone that the First Ming Ancestor held dear! The situation was too grave that they did not have the guts to believe it.

"High Elder Zhang is right. Your report is too insufficient." High Elder Kal added oil to the fire, "Elder Mao, what you said could not be considered a report."

"My apologies for my and son's incompetence, High Elders." Mao Ming bowed his head, "But what I told you was all what my son said. My son was helpless in that situation and did not have the guts to get more information. After all, the enemy was someone in the Immortal Realm."

"Then why Lai Ming needed to die?" High Elder Zhang raised his voice, "It should just be your son, instead! You know how important Lai Ming was to the First Ming Ancestor. If he ever learned about this, do you think our clan can rest easy?! The situation is too grave! Too grave that it could turn the First Ming Ancestor mad!"

"Although Lai Ming chose to personally travel and get the compass from Farna, him being killed is really really grave. This is going to be a headache." High Elder Kal sighed. He was much calmer compared to the hot-blooded High Elder Zhang.

Mao Ming wanted to refute that why was it that his son should be the who died rather than Lai Ming? And the high elder really told it right into his face. As a father, who would want their child to die? Or should be the one who had died instead of someone? That's a disrespect to him, as a father. However, he did not dare to voice it. After all, these two beings in front of him were someone he could not afford to offend. They were high elders, the highest position below the clan master! As an elder, the difference in status was already given.

"So, Elder Mao, how can you resolve this situation? You are the one that we have in-charged about this." High Elder Zhang asked with a tone of sarcasm and annoyance, "This situation is already out of hand the moment Lai Ming was killed outside."

"I..." Mao Ming did not what to say. Why would it be his responsibility? It was High Elder Zhang that gave him this task without giving him an option at all. Logically speaking, it should be High Elder Zhang's fault since he forced it towards him. Or at least, he had to take part of the blame together with this high elder. But it seemed that he was already ready to dump everything onto him.

High Elder Kal just watched this without planning in intervening. It seemed that he did not care about this at all. After all, the situation was already out of hand and no matter what he said, it won't change the fact.

"What, you can't think of any? Lai Ming was killed. It is your—"

"Repeat that again, Yao Zhang." High Elder Zhang was interrupted by a cold voice that gave chills to everybody present. This voice was very familiar for all the elders and high elders of the clan as this being was the one they had worshipped for a very long time! Soon, the large twin door of the main hall was shattered into pieces and an old man with a long gray hair up to his thighs appeared. Although he was an old man, his body was very well-built with bulging muscles and whatnot.

This old man carried an unspeakable aura circulating around him. He was one of the beings who stood tall in the world of Grivexia. Someone that anyone out there would bow in worship!

Immortal Emperor Kazir Ming, or the one they so called, First Ming Ancestor! A being who already lived for hundreds of thousands of years in this land. A being with a lifespan of half a million year!

This being had a very scary expression which made everyone trembled. After all, he could kill anyone with just a lift of his finger.

"First Ming... Ancestor..." Everyone in the hall immediately kneeled down in front of the First Ming Ancestor with pale expressions.

"I always seclude myself from this mundane world in order to protect you, incompetent clansmen." The First Ming Ancestor raised his voice which pushed all the kneeling people away, "And this is what you will pay me, your protector?! By letting Lai Ming, be killed?! Ingrates!"

"YOU BUNCH OF UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!" He raised his voice higher that shook the entire hall, leaving cracks all around. He could still not absorb the fact that Lai Ming, who he personally nurtured even not a genius, was just killed because of these incompetent clansmen of his.

Everyone who was thrown away coughed a mouthful of blood. Although they already expected this kind of reaction, this terror was still different when experienced! They can feel the bloodlust and anger coming from the First Ming Ancestor. They zapped all their strength to get back to kneeling position. Even the high elders were helpless.

"Bastards, tell me the story from the very start. I will personally kill that son of a b-tch!" The First Ming Ancestor's voice rang the entire main hall again, which shook all the hearts of everyone present.
