After defeating the three Spirit Saints, Aiden and his group continued forward until they encountered another leader of the Heavenly Serpent Sect.
"No, he's the Ancestor of the Heavenly Serpent Sect," Serina said, halting the group. "He was the sect leader before the previous one."
The old man, leaning on his cane, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Aiden and the others. "If you're all here, it means you either killed all the others to get here or they let you in voluntarily, which is impossible," he said, standing up. As he straightened, his hunched back reverted to an upright position, revealing a man who no longer looked old but rather like a middle-aged man at his peak.
"He's burning through his lifespan," Serina said solemnly. "Thanks to this, I now know what realm he's reached."
