Chapter 728 (1/2)
”Now think about it. At that time, we couldn't kill all the people in the demon world. As you said, the demon king and the scorpion escaped our search and didn't die. But it doesn't matter. Almost all the people who invaded the demon world died. We finally won the victory and protected our immortal gate! ”
What Li Zhongyuan said was very simple, but I can still think of the plight of Shengxian gate at that time and the intensity of the battle at that time.
I suppressed my inner excitement and tension and said, ”at that time, Shengxian gate must have suffered countless deaths and injuries. Predecessors paid a lot, even their own lives, for those people outside to live a stable life...”
Li Zhongyuan sighed, and his face slowly became very sad: ”to tell you the truth, although we finally won, the number of people who survived was less than one thousandth of the original. At that time, hundreds of thousands of people died in the war, and countless people were incurable after being attacked by magic gas and chose to commit suicide... That was the darkest period of our Shengxian gate and the most desperate period of our Shengxian gate... Even my wife and children... Left me at that time... ”
I felt very sad in my heart. I choked and said, ”I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention the sad past of my predecessor. Please forgive me.”
Li Zhongyuan tried to calm his mind, red eyes and then said: ”fortunately, some of our three families were sent out, so we all fought with the determination to die, and no one fled because of the fear of the dead... All the disciples of Shengxian sect regarded death as their home, fought bravely and were real heroes...”
I stood up, saluted and said, ”you're right. The disciples of Shengxian gate are heroes and deserve our respect! Although the younger generation was born late and didn't see their original style with their own eyes, the younger generation can still imagine the scene at that time. The younger generation admires their feats very much. I'm here to assure my predecessors that I will do my best to restore the prosperity of Shengxian gate in the past, surpass the Shengxian gate ten thousand years ago, carry forward the Shengxian gate, stand on the top of the world and be respected by thousands of people. ”
Li Zhongyuan's eyes changed slightly, looked at me with some excitement, slowly showed a firm look, nodded at me and said, ”the development of Shengxian gate still depends on you young people. Although I have known brother Jin for a short time, I don't know much, but I can see that you have great ambitions and your future achievements must be unlimited.”
After a pause, he actually threw a fist at me and said respectfully, ”we believe you can carry forward Shengxian gate and lead us, who are old and immortal, to reproduce the scenery of Shengxian gate in the past... By the way, the elder really hopes that Shengxian gate can be carried forward, but he always thinks that the old sect leader will come back, Therefore, we are opposed to anyone or anything that may threaten the status of the old sect leader. Please forgive me for this. After all, he was promoted by the old sect leader and was the real confidant of the old sect leader. ”
I smiled: ”I can see that the elder is actually doing this for the sake of immortality promotion. I have no reason to blame the elder.”
Li Zhongyuan said, ”the elder is eccentric and stubborn... If he hadn't known that the younger brother is actually the descendant of the old sect leader, I'm afraid his life would be hard to protect.”
I smiled: ”when I first met the elder, I asked the elder to take out a treasure like da huandan to save my life. Naturally, he would hesitate and don't blame him.”
After a pause, I turned the topic and said, ”now the immortal gate reappears. The old sect leader may come back soon after he knows the news. At that time, the old sect leader will certainly carry forward the immortal promotion sect. Elder, you, the elder and me, just wait to help the old sect leader run errands. ”
Li Zhongyuan said with a smile, ”I'm modest. I mean, whether the old sect leader returns or not, since I've rebuilt the immortal gate, I'll continue to be the sect leader. As long as the old sect leader doesn't say anything, my martial brother will support you to the end. ”
I stood up, hugged my fist and said, ”thank you... Before the old sect leader comes back, I will act as the sect leader of Shengxian sect, take it as my duty to carry forward Shengxian sect, devote myself to it and die.”
