1034 Wind Roaring (2/2)

When he visited Chang'an years ago, he was riding on winds, like immortals. People thought he was immortal. Then he was paralyzed and became mortal. From immortal to mortal, he became a real human.

The middle-aged priest looked at the Abbey Dean in the wheelchair and sensed his innocent energy. He seemed to have realized something and wondered if there was another world above State of Purity.

The Abbey Dean suddenly made a movement. He raised his hands from his knees and placed them on the armrests. Some snow melted beneath his palms and dripped as if it was springtime. He also looked refreshed as spring.

The middle-aged priest was stunned because his speculation was coming true. The speculation that thrilled him was about to come true.

His hands trembled on the wheelchair. The Abbey Dean was wounded by the Academy in Chang'an. But the one who destroyed him was Haotian. So what would happen now?

The Abbey Dean stood up and left the wheelchair, as if he was taking the first step tens of thousands of years ago.

The snowflakes fell onto the plateau slowly together with the moonlight. The cold wind was roaring and drifted the Abbey Dean's indigo gown. But it could not tumble his grey hair.

”Look, it's really like a dog,” the Abbey Dean stared at the starry night and said slowly.

The middle-aged priest was confused. He did not know that the Headmaster had said something similar in a different way when he toasted the sky in the Back Hill of the Academy twenty years ago.

Upon that, the Abbey Dean walked down the plateau. His indigo gown floated in the snow. The wind was roaring and the night was deep. Then he disappeared from the Peach Mountain.

Staring at the Abbey Dean's footprints on the snow-covered plateau, the middle-aged priest remained silent. The Abbey Dean had already left Peach Mountain and he was filled with awe.

After a long while, he pulled himself back to reality. He looked at his hands on the wheelchair and smiled. Walking to the edge, he pushed the wheelchair off the cliff.

The cliff was extremely high. There might be sounds when snow fell. But the sound of the wheelchair falling into the valley could never be heard. And the Abbey Dean had left the Peach Mountain for the human world. No one knew when he would be back.

The middle-aged priest calmed down immediately. Because he was a powerful cultivator who had absolute faith in the Abbey Dean. Although there had been countless important figures throughout the history of Taoism and that in the most recent thousand years it was always about the Headmaster and the Academy, Taoism was after all aosim and the Abbey Dean was after all the Abbey Dean.

The middle-aged priest left the plateau for the Divine Hall of Revelation. No one knew what he said to Zhao Nanhai in the Divine Hall. But then Zhao Nanhai followed him silently to the Divine Hall of Judgment and found that the Hierarch had already arrived.

He looked at the woman in the Gown of Judgment and seemed to be enjoying the sight of her. She walked in the moonlight to the Seat of Heavenly Black Jade and bloomed like a scarlet flower.

He secretly admired her ever since she was little. But he had to kill her today. The Abbey Dean had made a decision on her and her brother's fate.

”I need a serious explanation.”

”My apologies, but I cannot tell you.”
