Chapter 737 Change (2/2)
Sect master Qing Yang and the others almost couldn’t control their tears. Who else would still care about such formalities at such a time. Their master really had not changed all these years.
“Master.” old Xuan also arrived, emotions overflowing as he looked at patriarch Cang Xuan.
Seeing these familiar faces, patriarch Cang Xuan’s eyes filled with warmth. Immediately after, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards peak master Lei Jun.
Peak master Lei Jun stared right back with an expressionless face.
Patriarch Cang Xuan slowly said, “Lei Jun, you really surprised me.”
“Did you not keep me at your side for me to adore you?” replied Lei Jun in an indifferent voice.
Patriarch Cang Xuan smiled, “You might think so, but when I died, I even suspected Qing Yang and the rest but never you.”
Lei Jun was silent for a moment before uttering, “What’s the point of saying this now?”
Patriarch Cang Xuan waved his hand. “I did not say any of this in hopes that you would turn back onto the right path. The knot in your heart should have been to defeat me and it's honestly quite impressive to have such ambition.”
“Patriarch, he used Lianyi causing her to self-destruct her own Spirit. We can’t let him off!” Deep hatred poured out in the eyes of peak master Ling Jun.
Patriarch Cang Xuan responded, “My goal today is Sheng Yuan. As for Lei Jun, when you guys need not give any consideration to my relations.h.i.+p with him if you find an opportunity in the future.”
At these words, sect master Qing Yang and the others understood that he was telling them to settle things later on.
“As for Lianyi--”
He let out a long sigh as a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Patriarch Cang Xuan waved his sleeve, causing the Cangxuan Saint Stamp in the mysterious domain to tremble before a beam of light shot out and landed in front of him.
The light gathered into a crystal bead which seemed to contain a faint silhouette that was in deep slumber.
“This is--” peak master Ling Jun stared at the silhouette inside the bead before he said in a trembling voice, “This is Lianyi’s spirit?”
“I can still use some of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp’s power, and because she destroyed herself here, I was able to protect her Spirit in the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.
“Ling Jun, keep her with you and always keep her warm and safe. There will come a day where she will be resurrected.”
Peak master Ling Jung carefully received the crystal bead. His body trembled violently as tears flowed down his cheeks.
It was hard to imagine how much grief and despair he felt when peak master Lianyi self-destructed.
Patriarch Cang Xuan had given him a glimmer of hope.
“Thank you, patriarch.” Ling Jun’s voice was hoa.r.s.e.
Patriarch Cang Xuan shook his head before his gaze s.h.i.+fted towards the Life Executioner Painting in the sky. In the painting, Yaoyao had likewise sensed the patriarch’s presence.
She hesitated as the cracking of the seal between her brows finally began to stop.
She knew that Zhou Yuan should no longer be in danger since patriarch Cang Xuan had appeared.
s.p.a.ce rippled around Yaoyao as she took a step forward, finally leaving the Life Executioner Painting and reappearing above Blackwater.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s expression abruptly changed abruptly as the vigilance in his eyes increased.
He wasn’t afraid of facing either Yaoyao or patriarch Cang Xuan’s Spirit fragment alone, but if the two were to join forces, it would not bode well for him.
However, while palace master Sheng Yuan’s mind was racing with such thoughts, Yaoyao’s expression began to change. She lifted her head and stared at the endless heavens.
At the same time, patriarch Cang Xuan’s face gradually grew more and more solemn. He could faintly feel an indescribable force trying to break through the boundary walls of Cangxuan Heaven.
That power--
Patriarch Cang Xuan narrowed his eyes. It was the sacred race.
He cast a deep and complicated glance at Yaoyao.
Looks like it was still too late.
