Chapter 1081: The Valley Master Meets Qin Xiao in the Abyss

When she heard the ancestor mention that person, Xia Shuangbing’s expression shifted slightly.

“Don’t worry. That one is deep in the abyss, where even Saint Emperors can’t stay long. Qin Xiao is only an Ascending Emperor. Reaching the rear section is already his limit. He may have come back out by now.”

However, Xia Shuangbing quickly composed her expression and spoke with apparent indifference.

“That makes sense. However talented he is, he can’t go too far. We were worrying over nothing. We’ve recovered our full strength and can replace our fellow disciples whenever needed.”

The leading ancestor nodded in agreement upon hearing Xia Shuangbing’s words, mentioning that he and the others had largely recovered.

In truth, the ancestors awakened this time belonged to the most recent batch of slumbering figures, and most of them were well acquainted with one another. The earliest batch of ancestors had been forced into slumber when their lifespans were nearly exhausted, whereas subsequent batches had been put into hibernation with deliberate preparation. Consequently, while this group also faced limited lifespans, they retained far more time than those from earlier eras.

Having fallen into slumber forty thousand years ago, they were fellow disciples under the same lineage, which explained why the ancestor spoke of replacing their peers.

“It is a relief that the ancestors have recovered. In three days, I must ask you to proceed deep into the Northern Domain and relieve the others.”

Hearing that the ancestors were fully restored, Xia Shuangbing felt a weight lift from her heart.

“Shuangbing, you should rest as well. Northern Emperor Valley has declined to this state, and you have sustained it entirely on your own. You deserve a respite. Now that we old fellows have awakened, you can finally ease your burden.”

That ancestor remembered her arrival in the valley. She had changed little in appearance, but her weariness was impossible to hide.
