long chen's expression was calm.
long er gritted her teeth and looked at the old temple master.
because it was useless for her to answer this question.
what long chen wanted was a word from the old shrine master.
how could the old shrine master not understand long chen's thoughts? he immediately said, " "little chen, you've been in the dragon palace for a long time, so you know what kind of person i am.
i've been extremely strict with you, but i've never done anything to let you down.
" of course, no matter what, the dragon hall didn't send anyone to help you in the battle of kun lun. in terms of personal feelings, it is indeed the dragon hall's fault, but you have to believe that the dragon hall has never been selfish to you. if you must blame me for this, then it's my fault because i didn't let anyone go to help you.
the reason why i didn't allow it was because of the reason i mentioned before. your father forbade the dragon hall from assisting you because the dragon hall belongs to your father."
hearing this, long chen's mood fell to the bottom.
however, long chen no longer blamed the old shrine master or the dragon shrine. the knot in his heart had been untied.
the reason why his mood had fallen to the bottom of the valley was because his fate had been controlled by someone else all along.
the invisible hand was pushing him forward from a place he couldn't see.
all the humiliation, progress, glory, and even his return from nirvana had a shadow of that person.
for a moment, long chen was a little confused and a little angry.
that person had helped him, but at the same time, he was also controlling him. so, should he hate him or be grateful to him?
the old shrine master understood long chen's dilemma.
"child, master, with his dying years, seriously admonishes you a few words. no matter what, you must be rational. your father is a great man. he must have his reasons for making such arrangements.
also, after i leave, you'll have to take over the dragon hall. i can't accompany you anymore."
the old shrine master said softly.
long chen's heart sank when he heard this.
"old man, i won't let you die."
long chen squatted down to treat the old shrine master and extend his life.
however, after he had examined the old shrine master, he found that the old shrine master was even more terrifying than if he was beyond cure.
it was not an exaggeration to say that the old shrine master was hanging on to his last breath with only his true qi. as for his bodily functions, they had all been exhausted and could collapse at any moment.
in such a situation, long chen was completely powerless to change the situation.
he stared at the old shrine master in a daze. his eyes finally turned red and he could not speak.
" you've also sensed that i don't have long to live. i might die in the next second. little chen, can you promise me to help ... " help me take care of long 'er?"
the old shrine master raised his hand with great effort and pulled long chen.
"i will take good care of her. with me around, no one can bully her."
long chen said in a deep voice.
" i'm relieved. long 'er, after i leave, you must listen to long chen. "
the old shrine master said to long 'er.
"grandpa, i ... i ..."
long 'er sobbed. the moment long chen returned, long' er knew that her grandfather would pass away after he was done handing over his life.
it was because his grandfather had been hanging on to his last breath to wait for long chen.
"xiao chen, do you have any other questions?"
the old shrine master looked at long chen.
long chen faced the old shrine master and suddenly knelt down. after kowtowing three times, he said, " "you will always be my master, my only master."
" haha, these three kowtows are enough. i also believe that in the future, you will definitely surpass your father. little chen, long 'er, grandfather is leaving. don't think about it, don't be sad. "
with that, the old shrine master completely relaxed, and the true qi in his body dissipated.
as the genuine qi dissipated, the old temple master's head drooped down powerlessly, and he passed away.
long chen and long 'er supported the old shrine master, but neither of them said anything.
at this moment, there were no words that could describe their complicated feelings.
...
in the following days, long chen stayed in the dragon hall to take care of the old lord's funeral.
the heads of some sects and martial arts sects from the outside world had come to offer their condolences.
to long chen's surprise, the dragon hunt hall had also sent a representative.
the man was over sixty years old and his martial cultivation was not low. he was in the grandmaster realm.
with such a realm, he must have a high status in the dragon hunt hall.
however, when he revealed his identity in the mourning hall, everyone in the dragon hall looked at him with killing intent.
the people of the dragon hall knew that the dragon hunt hall was both long chen's and the dragon hall's mortal enemy. they would never turn from enemies to friends.
thus, the dragon hunt hall had sent a grandmaster to pay their respects, as if they were here to see a joke.
just as the grandmaster was about to offer incense, long er stepped out and stopped him. she said coldly, " "i'm sorry, please leave my grandfather's mourning hall. you're not welcome here."
"miss long 'er, i'm only here to pay my respects to senior long and offer some incense. i have no ill intentions."
the old man from the dragon hunt hall said sternly.
"i don't need the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so you don't have to be so hypocritical." long er said.
the old man raised his eyebrows and said, " miss long 'er, you are going too far. after the death of the old master, the strength of the dragon hall will be greatly reduced. i am here to show my concern for the dragon hall and see if we can turn from enemies to friends. please don't misunderstand me. "
they wouldn't listen to these words. they would probably really think that the dragon hunt hall was trying to repair their relationship out of good intentions.
however, if one could listen, one would be able to hear that the old man was threatening long 'er. in other words, the old temple master was dead. if a young man like him was insensible, the dragon hall, whose strength had been greatly reduced, would be in danger.
when long 'er heard these words, how could the intelligent her not understand the implied meaning?
however, long er was not afraid at all. she said in a deep voice, " " if you weren't in my grandfather's mourning hall, you would have been a dead man by now. "
as long er said this, dragon one, dragon two, dragon three, and the others in the dragon hall all looked at the old man coldly.
however, the old man was not afraid. he looked around and felt that apart from long chen, who was a bit threatening, the others were nothing to fear.
"miss long 'er, the dragon hall is indeed very powerful, but it also depends on who we're facing. i've been in the grandmaster realm for many years, but i've never encountered such a situation. ha, alright then, i'm here to see a joke. today, i'm going to burn this joss stick to give this dead man some good news."
the old man shouted.
wuah.
all the foreign visitors were shocked.
then, someone couldn't help but shout, " "your words are truly too much."
"the dead should be respected. aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan by saying such things in the mourning hall?"
"are all the people from the dragon hunt hall so rude and unreasonable?"
there were quite a few people present who were looking at the old man in a strange way.
long chen couldn't take it anymore.
he didn't want to see any blood during this period of time, but this old man from the dragon hunt hall was looking for trouble.
"you, come out for a moment."
long chen pointed at the old man and then walked out.
"i can go out, but before that, i have to do something big."
as the old man spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the coffin in the middle.
boom! boom!
his true qi surged, and he actually wanted to destroy the coffin.
long chen sneered. he had been prepared for this.
therefore, after the old man made his move, long chen had arrived first and blocked all of the old man's genuine qi.
then, long chen grabbed the old man and rushed out of the mourning hall with a whoosh.
the martial arts grandmaster old man was caught by long chen and could not struggle at all.
even if he used all his skills, it would be of no use.
everyone followed him out of the mourning hall.
everyone was surprised and overjoyed to see the dragon hunt hall's master-class powerhouses being controlled by long chen with ease.
"this old thing really doesn't care about martial virtue. he should be killed."
" i also think he should be killed. he's too detestable. "
"kill him!"
"kill!"
all eyes were filled with killing intent as they looked at the old man.
the old man's face turned ugly. he never thought that he, a grandmaster, would be controlled like this. he did not even have the chance to struggle. he could not accept it.
"you're so young, but you're already so strong. how did you train to be so strong?"
the old man said through gritted teeth.
"go to hell and ask the king of hell."
long chen said coldly.
"hold on." " long chen, my young friend, " the old man said hurriedly. " i'm here to ask for peace. miss long 'er didn't let me offer incense just now, so i lost my composure in a moment of desperation. please forgive me. "
"long yi, long er, you two come and take this man away from the dragon hall. find a place far away from the dragon hall and kill him. after that, send someone to throw the body into the dragon hunt hall. oh, by the way, this old man likes to burn incense. don't forget to tell the people who bring the body to stick more incense on him." long chen said indifferently.
as he spoke, long chen had already made his move and easily crippled the old man's martial cultivation.
