93: Chapter 93 Master, I will repay your kindness in my next life!
What is meant to come will come! As a man on the verge of death, what more could he possibly do?
Inside the great hall, the Peak Revered Masters of the seven peaks of Shu Mountain knelt before Yu Hengzi, sobbing bitterly as they wiped away tears with their sleeves.
"Can you all stop crying for a moment? I'm not dead yet!" the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, said with a trembling voice to his seven Personal Disciples.
The seven Disciples were all quite old, and as tears streamed down their aged faces, they only cried even more sorrowfully, to the point that snot was running from their noses.
Beside the seven Personal Disciples of Yu Hengzi knelt a figure in blue. That's right! It was none other than the Beggar Clan Old Ancestor, Luo Xingfeng!
He was the last Disciple taken in by the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, in his later years. Although he was only two hundred years old, he was truly in the Nascent Soul Realm!
However, Luo Xingfeng's strength was indeed lacking; he was a typical example of someone with high cultivation but low combat ability!
Luo Xingfeng cupped his hands toward his Revered Master and said, "Revered Master, the Beggar Clan still has many matters to attend to. I must return to the Sect to handle them and will come back to see you tomorrow!"
The Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, looked at his youngest Disciple one last time with reluctance in his eyes, waved his hand, and forced out a sentence.
"Eighth, you are now the Revered Master of a Sect. The burden on your shoulders is heavy, so go attend to your business! You don't need to worry about me; your Senior Brothers are here to take care of me!"
Luo Xingfeng glanced at his seven Senior Brothers, who had already cried until they were snot-nosed messes, then turned around, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and led Saintess Luo Yao out of the hall.
Saintess Luo Yao turned her stunningly beautiful face to the side and glanced at Jiang Lan with a blushing face.
"Young Master Jiang, remember to come to the Beggars Sect tomorrow to save my younger sister, Luo Ning, and help her break the illusion!"
Saintess Luo Yao pouted, looking unwilling, as she was pulled out of the great hall by the Beggar Clan Old Ancestor, Luo Xingfeng, and they vanished into the clouds and mist in a flash!
"Come here!" The Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, tremblingly raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Disciple greets the Old Ancestor!"
From the bottom of his heart, Jiang Lan was extremely grateful to the old man before him. If it weren't for the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, intervening, he would have long since died miserably at the exit of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm!
Furthermore, the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, had actually sacrificed his own life to save him this time!
"You are not a person of my Shu Mountain. Speak, who exactly are you?"
Jiang Lan was shocked! Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back!
Jiang Lan had used the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox's Thousand Faces Immortal Art to transform into a Shushan Disciple. The Thousand Faces Immortal Art was a Heaven Rank B-grade Cultivation Technique. Apart from the Fire Eye Immortal Art, no other cultivation level or technique could see through it.
So how did the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, manage to see through it?
"You don't need to be afraid. I have no ill intent, otherwise, I wouldn't have stepped in to save you!"
In fact, the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, had realized from the very beginning that Jiang Lan was not a Shushan Disciple at all, but he had still intervened, risking his old life to save Jiang Lan!
"I am Jiang Lan, from a foreign land! I had just entered the Taixu Realm when I was teleported into the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm. Then, the gate of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm suddenly opened..."
Jiang Lan recounted the entire process of slaughtering the Secret Realm teams from the Myriad Beast Sect, Hehuan Sect, and Wanfu Sect, saving the Shu Mountain and Beggars Sect Disciples, and killing the Giant Strength Demonic Ape!
Of course, Jiang Lan did not mention a single word about the void cauldron Immortal Artifact, the Beiming Holy Sword, the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, or the ten thousand year spirit fruit!
After all, the Cultivation World was extremely cruel; Jiang Lan understood the principle that possessing a treasure can lead to one's downfall.
The seven Disciples of Yu Hengzi were stunned speechless. This kid had slaughtered all the prodigies of the Taixu Realm? No wonder the Wanfu Sect, Myriad Beast Sect, and Hehuan Sect had completely turned against Shu Mountain!
The Taixu Ancestor nodded slowly, looking at Jiang Lan with an expression of admiration!
"Not bad! You are much more daring than this old man! If our Seven Saints of Shu Mountain had even three parts of your ruthlessness, how could Shu Mountain have fallen to this state!"
Suddenly! The Ancestor of Mount Shu's breathing became rapid, his face turned deathly pale, and he couldn't catch his breath; he was clearly about to pass away.
Two figures, one after the other, flew out from the Mount Shu Main Peak. Just after flying out of Shu Mountain, the two figures stopped!
That's right! These two were none other than the Beggar Clan Old Ancestor, Luo Xingfeng, and Saintess Luo Yao!
Luo Xingfeng turned his head abruptly and knelt down with a thud! He kowtowed in the direction of the Mount Shu Main Peak!
Luo Xingfeng was born into the Luo Family! The Luo Family was originally the third largest Family in the Taixu Realm, and his father, Luo Tianhong, was a powerful expert at the Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection!
Their strength was ranked third in the Taixu Realm, right after the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi. The two often discussed Cultivation Techniques and exchanged skills; they had a very good personal friendship!
More than two hundred years ago, an old ghost from the outside world at the Spirit Transformation Realm accidentally entered the Taixu Realm and, by a stroke of coincidence, broke into the Luo Family!
The Spirit Transformation Realm old ghost saw Luo Xingfeng's mother, who was exceptionally beautiful, and wanted to molest her and commit an illicit act!
His father, Luo Tianhong, was a person of unyielding character. Unable to bear his beloved wife being humiliated, he grabbed the Spirit Transformation Realm old ghost and directly detonated his Nascent Soul! He blew the Spirit Transformation Realm old ghost to death on the spot!
Seeing that her husband had passed away, Luo Xingfeng's mother, unwilling to live on in this world, also destroyed her Golden Core on the spot and committed suicide!
In a single day, Luo Xingfeng went from being the young Revered Master of the Luo Family to an orphan! The burden of the entire Luo Family fell onto Luo Xingfeng's shoulders overnight!
At that time, Luo Xingfeng only had the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm Early Stage. He couldn't protect the Beggars Sect, nor could he keep the Luo Family; they were about to be carved up by other Sects!
But at the critical moment, the Ancestor of Mount Shu, Yu Hengzi, stood up! "Shu Mountain and the Beggars Sect are life-and-death allies. Whoever dares to lay a hand on the Beggars Sect, Shu Mountain will definitely fight them to the bitter end!"
At that time, Shu Mountain still had four Saints alive, and Yu Hengzi managed to barely protect the Beggars Sect! However, the position of the Beggars Sect dropped from third in the Taixu Realm to its current ninth place.
Yu Hengzi made an exception and took Luo Xingfeng as his last Disciple, ranking him eighth! Luo Xingfeng also trained hard, and after more than two hundred years, he finally succeeded in breaking his Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul ten years ago, stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm!
Luo Xingfeng kowtowed heavily three times in the direction of the Mount Shu Main Peak, his face already streaming with tears! "Revered Master! I, Luo Xingfeng, will repay your kindness in the next life!"
In fact, Luo Xingfeng had already sensed that his Revered Master, Yu Hengzi, was about to pass away! Ancestor Wanfu would definitely bring other ancestors to exterminate the entire Shu Mountain overnight!
Luo Xingfeng really wanted to stay behind to see his Revered Master, Yu Hengzi, off on his final journey, and then go to his death bravely with his Senior Brothers! But he carried the lives of over thirty thousand Beggars Sect Disciples on his shoulders, as well as the entire Luo Family. He didn't just live for himself; there were too many people behind him who needed his protection! If he died, what would happen to the Beggars Sect and the Luo Family?
