Chapter 76
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Inside Xieguang Tower, there were night pearls shining, but compared to the view outside the tower, it was still slightly gentle.
With a creaking sound, the door of Xieguang Tower was pushed open by someone. Upon hearing this, Li Fenglan instinctively turned around and looked towards the door… It was Lin Chaochen!
Upon seeing his junior, Li Fenglan instinctively blocked Finished Karma behind him.
Lin Chaochen suddenly appeared here, could it be that he was looking for trouble? Li Fenglan’s most guarded person now was his good junior.
But just as he thought this, he saw that Lin Chaochen’s eyes looking at him were unclear…
“What are you doing here?” Seeing this, before Li Fenglan could say anything, his disciple, Meng Linzhou, tightened his long sword in his hand and pointed the tip of the sword towards the direction where Lin Chaochen was. Although Meng Linzhou himself was the one who came to steal things, he behaved especially righteously.
Meng Linzhou’s voice was loud, and Lin Chaochen naturally heard his words, but the blue-clothed cultivator standing at the door did not even give a glance to Meng Linzhou. He looked at Li Fenglan and said, “Li Fenglan? No… how could you have senior brother’s sword, you’re not senior brother… no.”
Meng Linzhou: ???
Not to mention how Li Fenglan felt after hearing Lin Chaochen’s words, Meng Linzhou was nervous when he saw Lin Chaochen’s crazy appearance.
Did something go wrong with Lin Chaochen’s brain?
“What does it have to do with you who I am,” Li Fenglan looked to the side and coldly said to Lin Chaochen.
Then he saw this man gently shaking his head while staggering towards Li Fenglan’s position.
From his words, it can be heard that Lin Chaochen seems to really not recognize Li Fenglan. Or, he can’t distinguish whether the person in front of him is Li Fenglan or his senior brother…
Just like Qiu Wanyou before, Lin Chaochen now instinctively rejected the reality that “Li Fenglan is Li Fuyue”.
He doesn’t want to admit it.
As Finished Karma is a spiritual sword, when Li Fenglan saw Lin Chaochen coming over, he didn’t do anything yet when Finished Karma in his hand was already stimulated.
The spiritual swords in this world all have their own personalities. In Li Fenglan’s impression, Finished Karma should be gentle. But now, it seemed to be in a hurry to rush out of Li Fenglan’s hand and replace its owner to stab Lin Chaochen.
In the previous thousand years, Finished Karma, far away from its owner, has always been in a half-awake and half-asleep state.
In such a state, its memory was also intermittent.
So for Finished Karma, that event from a thousand years ago seemed to have happened just a few hours ago…
It “recently” saw that Li Fenglan, who could have seriously injured Lin Chaochen, escaped from the Fushen Formation, had his wrist move slightly when facing his junior brother. Li Fenglan’s heart had softened.
But Lin Chaochen didn’t.
He made the opposite choice from his senior brother–the long sword in Lin Chaochen’s hand pierced directly into Li Fenglan’s body.
Continuing the formation, Li Fenglan’s soul scattered in front of him, while Finished Karma himself fell into a thousand-year sleep.
“…Finished Karma?” Lin Chaochen suddenly stopped less than a foot away from Li Fenglan. He looked at Finished Karma and suddenly fell silent.
At this point, Meng Linzhou seemed to have concluded that Lin Chaochen’s mind was a bit off.
Seeing Lin Chaochen stop here and not speak while looking at Finished Karma, Meng Linzhou immediately turned to Li Fenglan and said, “Master, let’s go.”
Seeing this, Li Fenglan gritted his teeth and decided to leave Xieguang Tower with Meng Linzhou, without looking at Lin Chaochen again.
At this moment, Lin Chaochen was not really going crazy, but his energy was in a chaotic and abnormal state.
As Li Fenglan and he passed each other, Lin Chaochen suddenly grabbed Finished Karma’ and whispered, “Senior Brother… are you still willing to see me?”
Lin Chaochen’s mind was really unclear. He was not asking Li Fenglan or Finished Karma, but himself.
After entering Xieguang Tower, Lin Chaochen did not close the door. At this moment, dozens of disciples guarding outside Xieguang Tower gradually looked ugly.
They couldn’t hear clearly what Lin Chaochen said. But some of the more important words fell into their ears.
“Senior Brother”, “Finished Karma”?
Lin Chaochen’s senior brother was Li Fuyue, and his sword Finished Karma was locked inside Xieguang Tower…
Although they were not quite sure what had happened inside Xieguang Tower, these few words were enough to put the cultivators here on guard. According to normal circumstances, they should go and inform the Law-Abiding immortal, Meng Linzhou. However, Meng Linzhou was inside Xieguang Tower right now.
After some hesitation, the cultivator responsible for guarding the Xieguang Tower decided to go directly to the sect leader Jiang Yichang after the incident.
Tianmian Palace was currently experiencing a tumultuous period, and they were worried that if any accidents were to occur, it would be too late to deal with them later.
However, on this day, the disciples responsible for guarding the Xieguang Tower did not expect to encounter so many important figures, when they usually only saw the immortals once in a while.
It was just when one of them was about to turn around and leave on his sword that a figure dressed in white clothes, holding a long sword, appeared in front of them.
“Qiu, Immortal Master Qiu?!”
Qiu Wanyou had also come!
It had been some time since Qiu Wanyou had descended to the mortal realm, but for ordinary disciples, the immortal was still a lofty figure. They didn’t know what Qiu Wanyou was doing in the mortal realm, or even if he was still in Tianmian Palace.
“Mmm.” He nodded lightly and walked slowly towards Xieguang Tower.
At this point, the people inside Xieguang Tower also saw Qiu Wanyou.
It had been a long time since they had last met Qiu Wanyou, and Li Fenglan never thought… he would encounter this man again under these circumstances.
As Qiu Wanyou walked through the door, Li Fenglan instinctively lowered his head and no longer looked at the man in front of him.
Feeling Li Fenglan’s obvious avoidance, Qiu Wanyou’s heart couldn’t help but ache a little.
He knew that Li Fenglan didn’t want to see him.
After entering, Qiu Wanyou didn’t say anything unnecessary. He walked straight towards Lin Chaochen, and his eyes were only on him. It wasn’t until Qiu Wanyou walked up to him that Lin Chaochen looked up at him.
Lin Chaochen frowned and didn’t say the usual words “Master” as he used to. Qiu Wanyou seemed to be indifferent to this.
Suddenly, he looked up and glanced at Li Fenglan, then revealed a shocking fact that both of them knew but would definitely shock the entire cultivation world if it was spoken out loud: “Lin Chaochen has fallen into qi deviation.”
Li Fenglan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Qiu Wanyou was talking to him.
After a thousand years, the once intimate master and disciple had become so unfamiliar when speaking to each other.
After a brief silence, Li Fenglan nodded and said, “Mmm, I know.”
There were only four people in Xieguang Tower at this time, and only Meng Linzhou had no involvement in these matters.
After hearing what Li Fenglan and Qiu Wanyou were saying, he was momentarily puzzled before understanding what they were talking about. When he looked at Lin Chaochen’s current crazed appearance and thought about his master falling into qi deviation in the previous life, Meng Linzhou suddenly had some doubts… Did Qiu Wanyou’s techniques that he taught to his two disciples have some problems?
If so, wouldn’t he be in danger?
Li Fenglan didn’t know what his disciple was thinking at this moment. He and Qiu Wanyou had never had such an awkward conversation before. After Li Fenglan finished speaking, he intended to leave with Finished Karma.
However, before Li Fenglan took a step, he heard Qiu Wanyou suddenly call out, “Fenglan.”
Fenglan?
Li Fenglan was somewhat surprised that Qiu Wanyou didn’t call him Li Fuyue anymore. He instinctively looked up at Qiu Wanyou and saw that he was looking at him with a gentle and deep gaze, filled with emotions that he couldn’t understand.
Qiu Wanyou said, “Fenglan, I have to go back to the upper realm.”
Li Fenglan:….
This time, Qiu Wanyou did not call himself “Master”.
Although they had already discussed everything that day, and everything now was what they both wanted. However, after hearing this sentence, Li Fenglan’s heart inexplicably felt sad.
It was for the thousand-year master-disciple relationship in his previous life, and also for that period of time that he cherished so much in the past.
Even Meng Linzhou could sense the emotions in the air.
Li Fenglan nodded lightly and Qiu Wanyou took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Lin Chaochen, who was holding a long sword in his arms. He narrowed his eyes and said, “I am not a good master, and I have guilt towards both you and Lin Chaochen.”
Guilt? Li Fenglan was surprised to hear these words coming from Qiu Wanyou’s mouth. The old Qiu Wanyou would never have admitted to feeling guilty.
He continued, “I have always had selfish motives towards you. I am not a qualified master.”
Li Fenglan remained silent, and on the other side, Meng Linzhou, who had been watching the situation unfold, suddenly looked shocked.
Meng Linzhou: !!!
What did his former master just say?
What kind of “selfish motives” did he mean?
Even though his mind was not clear, even Lin Chaochen sharpened his gaze on Qiu Wanyou when he heard those words.
Qiu Wanyou knew that Li Fenglan didn’t want to hear this. He sighed lightly and shifted his gaze to Lin Chaochen.
“Because of this selfishness, I didn’t want Lin Chaochen to come to Snowy Meizhou at first. So, for Lin Chaochen, I was never a qualified master.”
Lin Chaochen suddenly sneered.
At the last moment, he was not very clear-minded, but suddenly he looked at Qiu Wanyou with an indifferent gaze.
And only Meng Linzhou couldn’t help but think at this moment: Could it be that his former master came here today to hold my master accountable?
In this way, my own behavior before doesn’t seem so shameful.
