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

The two argued against each other, which made Chen Zun confused.

He shouted: "That's enough!"

In an instant, Guangyuan and Wanfa became quiet at the same time.

Chen Zun's face turned ferocious and he said: "I never said that I would only arrest the mastermind. If one person commits a crime, the entire temple will be blamed for it. Why fight? You will all die!"

When Guangyuan heard the words, he sighed deeply and said: "God Emperor, I know that you have this ability, but I hope that the God Emperor will remember the friendship between me and Xu Daoyou in the past and not embarrass the other disciples of this temple. I am willing to die alone. "

Chen Zun sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"He who has run out of oil and has dried up his lamp has no fear of death."

"You are open-minded."

When Chen Zun saw that there was no movement on his face, he knew that Guangyuan was really willing to die, so he said, "Okay, since Kotuo Temple didn't really kill the monks of my Tianxu Palace, I will help you."

After all, Kotu Temple was just for discussion and did not actually harm Tianxu Palace. Chen Zun only killed the culprit.

Guangyuan smiled slightly, raised his palms, and said piously: "Thank you God Emperor for your kindness."

Wanfa was the first to jump out and said quickly: "Master, no, Kotuo Temple cannot live without your presence."

He knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Zun again, wept bitterly, and said plaintively: "God Emperor, let the master of this young monk go. This young monk is willing to die for his master."

Chen Zun's face darkened.

Guangyuan started to scold him first.

"Everything has been decided. This is your destiny as a teacher. Needless to say, as the abbot of Kotuo Temple, you only worship the Buddha. How can you be so weak and get up?"

The intensity of the words made Wanfa, who had never seen Guangyuan get angry, tremble in his heart.

With his burning eyes, he slowly lowered his head and crawled towards the edge of light.

"Master, this disciple is incompetent..."

Guangyuan looked at Wan Fa who was crying loudly at his feet, and sighed in his heart, and his sharp eyes softened.

"Don't be sad. If you don't realize the Tathagata's path and fruition, you will eventually die. Death is not necessarily a bad thing. Just be more open-minded."

All the monks knelt down and cried.

Guangyuan said: "After my master's death, Kotuo Temple will be handed over to you. I'm not here. I hope you can let go of your obsession and prosper this temple. My death is all due to fate. Don't blame the God Emperor, let alone avenge me. , we pushed too far, and there was nothing he could do.”

"Also... I just think highly of your junior brother. He is pure in nature and is the most promising person in our Kotu Temple to attain the Tathagata.

However, he is born to hate evil, and his spontaneous temper is ultimately a fatal flaw. If not corrected, he will easily get into trouble. Therefore, his master locked him in the Demon Suppressing Tower in order to hone his temper and will, and wait for him to break through. Sooner or later, he will become the pillar of Kotu Temple, remember? "

"Disciple remembers it."

Guangyuan was talking casually and explaining the funeral arrangements, but Chen Zun did not interrupt the conversation between their master and disciple.

He suddenly remembered Monk Wanfu, a rare confidant in Tianluo Continent and Chen Zun's best friend.

But now, facing the master of Monk Wanfu, he became cruel in his heart.

He had to avenge the blood feud in Tianxu Palace. Otherwise, what face would he have to face those brothers who had gone through life and death with him?

Choosing one of the two, from his standpoint, Chen Zun could only say sorry to Monk Wanfu in his heart.

His identity meant that he had no choice.

Guangyuan had already explained everything, and when he saw that Wanfa had been accepted, he said with a smile: "In this way, I will die for my master without any regrets."

"You guys stand down."

The monks reluctantly left the front hall and closed the door.

There were only Guang Yuan and Chen Zun in the hall.

Chen Zun looked at Guang Yuan with a complicated expression.

He actually saw the shadow of his master in Guangyuan.

He didn't want to kill the old monk in front of him.

But he had to take action.

Guangyuan blamed himself: "My sin, I delayed a lot of time and made the God Emperor wait for a long time."

Chen Zun shook his head, all the murderous intent had disappeared.

"It's okay. If you still have something that you can't let go of, you can explain it later. I can afford to wait."

He used honorifics to express his respect for Guangyuan in a junior manner.

"No need, I have finished explaining all the things I need to explain to you, Wanfahui will know how to do it." Guangyuan said calmly.

Chen Zun sighed.

"I don't really want to kill you, but I hope Master understands the responsibility."

Guangyuan smiled and said: "You have your difficulties, and I have my responsibilities."

He understood Chen Zun's approach at this moment. Likewise, it was also his responsibility that he was willing to die.

As the head of a temple, it is also the abbot's responsibility to sacrifice himself to protect the entire Kotu Temple.

Chen Zun also smiled.

Guangyuan understands him, and he understands Guangyuan. At this moment, they are both the same kind of people.

If these things didn't happen...

But there is no what if...

"Master, I'm offended, go away."

Guang Yuan smiled and put his hands together.

"Amitabha……"

……

Infinite golden light burst out from the front hall.

Not long.

The light fades.

With a creak, the door opened.

Chen Zun walked out from the front hall alone.

Wanfa and the other monks lowered their heads, with neither surprise nor joy on their faces, and chanted sutras in low voices.

Waves of Sanskrit sounds sounded.

Chen Zun turned a blind eye and continued walking outside. The monk made a way for him, and no one came out to stop him.

Chen Zun left Kotuo Temple without looking back and stepped into the bustling world.

Behind him, there was a faint sound of extremely suppressed pain.

"Abbot Guangyuan passed away..."

……

Chen Zun walked aimlessly in the mundane world.

There was a bit more confusion in his eyes.

He should be very happy to kill Guangyuan, kill the culprit, and avenge the dead brothers of Tianxu Palace.

However, he couldn't be happy after personally settling the fate of light.

Fighting to the death with the Central Plains Immortal Sect is contrary to his original intention.

However, it also means that the situation on Tianluo Continent is gradually heading towards an uncontrollable and bad situation.

He also changed a person from then on and became the person he hated.

Therefore, he felt fear and confusion about the unpredictable future.

"Xiaoyue, do you think I am doing this right?"

Xiaoyue jumped out of the water moon mirror.

He said matter-of-factly: "Brother Zun is of course right. They have gone too far. Faced with such a situation, we can only have a future by fighting violence with violence."

"The most important thing is, no matter what you do, Xiaoyue will support you."

future?

Chen Zun smiled bitterly.

He no longer has hope for the future.

From the moment he decided to kill Guangyuan, he and everyone in Tianluo Continent had only one outcome, either you die or I die.

No matter what the outcome would be, he only had one way to go until the end.

Chen Zun murmured: "Demon Lord? That's fine. As long as I can protect everything I care about, becoming a demon is no big deal."

The next stop is Tianyuan Sect!

The world is so big that people from other immortal sects cannot be found, so the only place they can hide is the Tianyuan Sect.
