After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

Chen Zun's heart felt cold, but he still smiled at Zhao Lingyun.

At this time, everyone waiting outside gathered around.

"Zhao Lingyun, how is the sect leader's injury?"

"Is the old man okay?"

"What did the sect leader say?"

Everyone was talking about it, and Zhao Lingyun didn't know whose question to answer for a while.

at this time.

"Quiet!"

Xu Huayun's voice came from the hall.

The scene suddenly became silent.

Then, Xu Huayun shouted again.

"Chen Zun, come in."

Zhao Lingyun stopped Chen Zun and couldn't help but said to the hall: "Master, you cannot see him in your current state."

"Get out of the way and let your brother in."

"Master..."

"I don't want to say it a second time."

Xu Huayun's voice became a little thicker.

Zhao Lingyun had no choice but to turn away.

When Chen Zun passed by, she whispered: "Master is in a bad state, you'd better not talk nonsense."

She lowered her head and her voice was almost inaudible.

But Chen Zun knew that Zhao Lingyun was warning him.

She doesn't even want to call her brother now.

There was an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.

Yun'er, do you just not believe me?

Chen Zun was full of bitterness and his face was a little stiff. He ignored Zhao Lingyun, stepped into the hall, turned around and grabbed the doorknob.

pat.

The temple door is closed, isolating the senses inside and outside the temple.

Only then did Chen Zun turn around.

The Ancestral Hall is the highest peak of Tianyuan Sect. It is always bright and bright everywhere.

However, with the door closed, the Patriarch's Hall seemed a little dark.

Under the statue of the founder Xiao Jiulang, two candles are burning on a confession sheet.

Under the confession, in the dim flickering candlelight, a figure sat cross-legged and motionless.

The candlelight stretched his figure until he was at Chen Zun's feet.

But the master's appearance was almost engraved in Chen Zun's mind, and he recognized it at a glance. The figure sitting cross-legged under the confession was master Xu Huayun.

Chen Zun walked forward, and the closer he got, the clearer Xu Huayun's face became.

Only then did he see clearly.

Xu Huayun's eyes were tightly closed, and his white hair had become a little dry. The wrinkles on his face were like tree bark, sticking tightly to his bones. A strange black aura appeared from time to time between the blue and gray color of his face.

Not only that, he had lost almost half of his weight, and under his loose robes was a gaunt body.

It gives people the feeling of a dying person.

Chen Zun was taken aback.

How could Master become like this in just a few months?

Xu Huayun suddenly opened his eyes at this time.

His eyes became increasingly cloudy, mixed with a hint of gray, but he looked directly at Chen Zun's face, with a smile on his face.

"Chen Zun, you are back."

Chen Zun knelt in front of Xu Huayun, bowed deeply, and said, "This disciple came back late. Please punish me, Master."

"You didn't make any mistakes, why would master punish you? Get up."

Chen Zun shook his head and did not get up. He asked with concern: "Master, how could you become like this..."

Speaking of this, Chen Zun's tone became choked with sobs.

Xu Huayun gave a bitter smile and sighed: "My master was sneak attacked by Shen Lang. I was caught off guard and hit him in the palm. I suffered a lot of injuries. I'm afraid my time is running out."

"No, Master Jiren has his own destiny and good luck. He will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

"My own body knows it."

Xu Huayun obviously knew what his body looked like, but he still took advantage of his apprentice's kind words.

After smiling, he said with emotion: "Unless you become an immortal, you are born to die. No one can escape it. It's just a matter of whether you die late or die early."

Chen Zun leaned down, feeling secretly sad. Tears welled up in his eyes and he tried not to fall.

Xu Huayun looked at his beloved disciple, feeling a little happy in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to touch the top of Chen Zun's head and said softly: "Idiot, there is no need to be sad. This is your fate as a teacher and you cannot avoid it."

Chen Zun suppressed the sadness in his heart and raised his head.

Xu Huayun was afraid that he would say comforting words again, so he spoke first: "My master has received your message. You did a good job in the matter of Purple Dragon City. It is a pity for millions of people in Daqi. Who would have thought that Han Jinlong would be like this?" He is crazy and wants to break the curse of the Daqi royal family. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise once Han Jinlong succeeds, he will hide it from everyone, and no one will know that he is the real culprit."

"The master has given me a reward. The disciple was incompetent and happened to be in trouble. He failed to prevent the tragedy from happening."

"There is no need to blame yourself. You have done what you should do. For the rest, my master will naturally instruct several peak masters to deal with this matter later."

After talking about what happened in Purple Dragon City, Xu Huayun looked at the palace door.

"Just now, the girl complained to me, saying that you intended to kill Feng Ruhua and Qin Mubai from the Nine Star Sect. I believe you have your own reasons for doing so."

After a pause, he said in a deep tone: "However, you have to remember that no matter what the two of them have done, on the surface they are both disciples of the right path. They cannot act recklessly. If your teacher is gone, I can no longer share the burden for you. .”

Xu Huayun's words seemed to be teaching Chen Zun how to behave, but in fact they were giving instructions for the funeral.

Chen Zun nodded.

"The disciple understands."

"You are naturally smart, you don't need to talk too much as a teacher."

Xu Huayun nodded with satisfaction.

This disciple of his has a strong nature and a smart mind, and he can understand everything, so he is not worried about Chen Zun.

Xu Huayun stared at Chen Zun with a serious expression.

"Chen Zun, my time as a teacher is numbered. It's time for you to know some things."

"Master, please tell me, and my disciples will definitely remember it."

Seeing that his master's face and tone became serious, Chen Zun understood that the next words were the key point.

"My master now asks you to take over as the sect leader of Tianyuan Sect. This position of sect leader is not easy to hold. The prosperity of the sect is responsible for the safety of the entire Tianluo Continent. Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing."

Chen Zun bowed to the ground.

Even if the master doesn't mention it, he will bring it up himself.

After all, the master is now seriously injured and can no longer guard Mingyuan Mountain. As a disciple, it is natural for him to take over the important task.

Seeing his disciple agreeing without hesitation, Xu Huayun was still very satisfied. He thought of something and said again.

"The sect leader has already told you about his responsibility as a teacher. Can you endure loneliness and grievance?"

"Master, don't worry, my disciple can bear it."

"That's good."

Xu Huayun's face was filled with relief, but his eyes darkened.

Chen Zun is still too young, and he is only in the stage of returning to the void after taking over the position of sect leader.

Xu Huayun knew very well how heavy the burden of the position of sect leader was.

If he hadn't been in bad health, he would have resisted for decades to let Chen Zun grow up.

It’s just that time doesn’t wait for me!

Xu Huayun looked at Chen Zun lovingly and sighed: "This is your duty, and it is also a prison. It's just a pain for you."
