Chapter 1279: Red Cloud Ancestor
“Are you the one?”
After the Nine Sons Mother Spider was killed, Ye Qing immediately looked down and affixed his gaze on a Taoist standing amidst the crowd.
The Taoist looked to be in his sixties. He had white hair but a fiery red beard. He was wearing a sun crown and a crimson robe with patterns of fiery clouds on it.
The fiery clouds were floating here and there across the robe and giving off halos of spiritual light like they were alive. It made the Taoist look positively celestial.
The Taoist waved his horsetail whisk away before performing a qishou. “This poor Taoist is Red Cloud. Well met, Mad Lord.”
“Is that Ancestor Red Cloud?”
“I heard that Ancestor Red Cloud had secluded himself in cultivation for years. I didn’t think the heroes’ arena would tempt him to return to the secular world.”
Ancestor Red Cloud was the thirty-fourth warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking. He was a famous independent warrior whose age, background and origin were completely shrouded in darkness. He spent most of his time secluding in private in Red Cloud Valley.
Ancestor Red Cloud was a public-spirited man who enjoyed lifting juniors to greater heights and helping others, so his reputation was pretty positive. Considering his old age and long fame, the jianghu people respectfully addressed him as Ancestor Red Cloud.
Ancestor Red Cloud was a Great Trueman. In fact, he had been a Great Trueman for over twenty years. Twenty years was more than enough time for the Earth Champions Ranking to become completely unrecognizable, but Ancestor Red Cloud was an exception. Like a permanent fixture on the ranking list, he slowly but steadily climbed the rankings each year like a tree.
This was why no one—not even some Half-Sages—dared to underestimate him even though Ancestor Red Cloud had been stuck at the Great Trueman stage for decades.
