Resurrection from the dead

Before releasing Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, Xiao Feng had the System suppress the Demon Emperor’s soul, sealing it away and making him temporarily fall into a deep slumber.

At the same time, he reached an agreement with Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s soul, which had been suppressed by the Demon Emperor’s soul.

“There was no deep hatred between us to begin with. I dealt with you before because you wanted to kill me, but now I can give you a chance to live again.”

“But I need you to promise that once you return to Tianyi Sect, you will strip your Old Ancestor of his power and protect my safety! When necessary, you need to obey my commands, but of course, in front of outsiders, you will be the high and mighty Sect Master of Tianyi Sect!”

Xiao Feng specifically had the System transmit the scene of the Tianyi Sect group arriving to Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s soul.

Especially Nan Li Tian’s proud expression when he was called Sect Master, and the fawning looks of the people around him.

Xiao Feng knew that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou cared deeply about his son, Xuanyuan Jian, so he specifically had the System capture several moments of Xuanyuan Jian looking at Nan Li Tian with a Face full of unwillingness.

As expected, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou agreed very quickly.

To say how deep the affection between Xuan Yuan Shu Mou and his Xuanyuan Old Ancestor was, that wasn’t entirely true.

After all, he was an Old Ancestor from who knows when, and staying in Tianyi Sect could certainly serve as a stabilizing force.

But if this stabilizing force was not on the same side as himself, then it would be better to not have this stabilizing force at all.

After all, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s own strength was not weak.

After Xuan Yuan Shu Mou agreed to Xiao Feng’s deal, Xiao Feng slowly said, “I can also help you devour the Demon Emperor’s soul. This body of yours will still belong to you, and as long as you don’t harbor any ill intentions towards me, you won’t suffer any backlash.”

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s heart was filled only with hatred for Xuanyuan Old Ancestor and Nan Li Tian, but towards Xiao Feng, he felt a somewhat complex emotion.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was also very annoyed in his heart. He had only “just died” a short while ago, and Tianyi Sect already had a new Sect Master, and the new Sect Master wasn’t even from their Xuanyuan lineage!

Xuanyuan Old Ancestor wasn’t even dead yet, and he just watched as Tianyi Sect, which belonged to their Xuanyuan lineage, fell into someone else’s hands?

Even if the Old Ancestor felt that the Xuanyuan lineage had no suitable candidates, were all his Disciples dead?

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was very unwilling. He knew that cooperating with Xiao Feng was tantamount to playing with fire.

But now, only Xiao Feng could bring him back to life, and only Xiao Feng could help him regain everything, so he was willing to listen to Xiao Feng and reach an agreement with him.

Everyone present was dumbfounded when they saw Xuan Yuan Shu Mou suddenly appear in front of Xiao Feng.

Among them, the one with the ugliest Face was the current Sect Master of Tianyi Sect, Nan Li Tian.

When Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was present, he had never thought of competing for the position of Sect Master.

But Xuan Yuan Shu Mou died, and he was personally appointed by Xuanyuan Old Ancestor as the next Sect Master of Tianyi Sect.

His ambition had already swelled in these few short days.

Why should Tianyi Sect only belong to the Xuanyuan family?

Why couldn’t it belong to their Nan family?

He was the Sect Master personally appointed by Xuanyuan Old Ancestor!

To put it bluntly, even Xuanyuan Old Ancestor had already recognized his identity as Sect Master, so even if Xuan Yuan Shu Mou came back to life, what then?

It was their Old Ancestor who handed Tianyi Sect over to someone else.

Despite Nan Li Tian’s many thoughts, in front of so many people, he dared not reveal his ambition too obviously.

He walked forward with stiff steps, wanting to express a few words of concern to Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

However, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou merely glanced at Nan Li Tian expressionlessly, completely ignoring Nan Li Tian and giving no Face to him, the current Sect Master of Tianyi Sect.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou walked quickly directly to Xuanyuan Jian and asked, “Son, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Did anyone bully you?”

Xuanyuan Jian looked at Xuan Yuan Shu Mou in disbelief, then slapped himself hard. Feeling the stinging pain on his Face, he knew that the person in front of him was not fake.

It was really his father, his father was actually still alive, his father had actually returned!

But why did father appear in front of Xiao Feng just now?

Could it be that Xiao Feng brought father back?

But wasn’t father’s soul lamp already extinguished?

“You little brat, do you not even recognize your own father!” Xuan Yuan Shu Mou said with a gentle, scolding laugh.

“Father? You… you’re still alive, you’re alright, aren’t you!” Xuanyuan Jian said, somewhat choked up.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou directly pulled Xuanyuan Jian into his embrace, giving his beloved son a big hug.

“Your father is back, and from now on, your father will back you up. No one can bully you!” Xuan Yuan Shu Mou declared directly.

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Shu Mou say this, the Disciples of Tianyi Sect all showed unnatural expressions on their Faces.

Dynasties change, and with each new emperor comes new officials.

Xuanyuan Jian’s position in Tianyi Sect before was equivalent to that of a former crown prince.

As long as superficial kindness was shown, only Xuanyuan Jian himself knew the bitterness and hardships of how he was treated in private.

But no one expected that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou would actually return.

Xuanyuan Jian cried and complained in Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s arms. At this moment, he no longer cared about Face; he wanted to pour out all the grievances in his heart.

Because Xuan Yuan Shu Mou died, he was constantly wronged in the Sect. His brothers and sisters, Senior Brother, Senior Sister, Junior Brother, and Junior Sister, were all forced away.

Even he himself almost lost his life, and no one thought of avenging Xuan Yuan Shu Mou. Only he, overestimating himself, wanted to kill Xiao Feng to avenge Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

As Xuanyuan Jian’s cries of complaint gradually spread, the expressions on the Faces of many Tianyi Sect Disciples became very strange.

Xuan Yuan Shu Mou’s return instantly changed the current situation of Tianyi Sect.

A Sect, after all, is not a true Imperial Dynasty change. Who is the true Sect Master of Tianyi Sect, the previous Sect Master or the current Sect Master?

Presumably, Tianyi Sect would also be in chaos for a long time because of this matter.

The most awkward person right now was naturally the current Sect Master, Nan Li Tian.

After all, those who secretly tormented Xuanyuan Jian behind his back were acting on his implied instructions.

They were intentionally making trouble for Xuanyuan Jian.

Because these people, who wanted to curry favor with him, knew that as the new Sect Master, he couldn’t lay a hand on Xuanyuan Jian, who had already become a cripple.

So, without alarming Xuanyuan Old Ancestor, he allowed Xuanyuan Jian to suffer more torment and disdain, and he, the new Sect Master, turned a blind eye.

It would be best if Xuanyuan Jian could be tormented into leaving Tianyi Sect willingly.

This way, he, the new Sect Master, would gain a good reputation without having to bear the blame for forcing out the son of the former Sect Master.

But all of this, from the moment Xuan Yuan Shu Mou reappeared, turned into hidden dangers and troubles.

Xuanyuan Old Ancestor frowned, carefully scrutinizing Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

After Xuan Yuan Shu Mou returned, he did not go to pay respects to Xuanyuan Old Ancestor, but instead went straight to Xuanyuan Jian, meticulously showing concern for him.

Even now, though he felt Xuanyuan Old Ancestor’s scrutinizing gaze, he no longer showed the same respect for Xuanyuan Old Ancestor as before.
