No one would have thought that Lu Xuan would suddenly announce that he would become the new head of Tiandao Sect.
After Nan Batian's death, the Tiandao Sect was left without a leader, and it was precisely in need of a new sect leader to inherit the sect leader's position.
It was also the first time that Lu Xuan admitted that he was Nan Batian's disciple.
"——" Everyone's breathing was rapid. They knew what Lu Xuan's words meant. With his current strength and status, he would become the head of Tiandao Sect, and Tiandao Sect would become the first sect in Penglai Immortal Island.
The reputation and power of the Tiandao Sect are definitely not comparable to that of the Donghuang clan.
When Nan Batian wanted to accept Lu Xuan as his disciple, he wanted Lu Xuan to inherit his mantle.
Nan Batian died to save Lu Xuan, so Lu Xuan will naturally fulfill his wish.
"metropolitan!"
All the elders and disciples of Tiandao Sect were so excited that they knelt down and worshiped.
"Sect Master Lu!"
People from all other forces also knelt down and worshiped.
"Okay, I have made everything clear. I will leave Penglai Immortal Island in the near future, but I will still come back. You all should perform your duties and protect the Immortal Island together."
"Yes, Sect Leader Lu!"
Everyone said with great respect.
Lu Xuan waved his hand again and said: "Everyone is tired these days, so go back!"
"As you command!"
All the people from the sects left the scene one after another.
"Lu Xuan!"
Just as Lu Xuan was about to leave, a beautiful figure came over.
Lu Xuan was a little surprised when he saw that Dong Huangli, who had already left, suddenly came back.
Dong Huangli came to Lu Xuan, but she did not dare to look directly into Lu Xuan's eyes. Suddenly, her shoulders began to tremble and tears streaked down her cheeks.
"Lu Xuan, I'm sorry-" Lu Xuan sighed: "You have always known about your grandfather, right?"
"Um!"
Dong Huangli nodded: "So, I feel very guilty. If I had known today, I would not have been with my grandfather."
Lu Xuan has always regarded Dong Huangli as a friend, but he never expected that they would meet again in this way.
"I think you are afraid of losing your status as a princess, so you pretend to be deaf and mute and turn a blind eye," Lu Xuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
In fact, Dong Huangli is a simple and kind-hearted woman. However, she has been living the life of a princess who can reach out for clothes and open her mouth for food. How could she want to lose it?
The princess's status is so noble, once the Eastern Emperor's plan fails, she will definitely be implicated and even be killed.
Even if she tells Lu Xuan that her grandfather colluded with the vampires, her final outcome will be to lose her status as a princess.
If she loses her family, what does she mean?
Human nature is ultimately selfish.
Dong Huangli cried: "I once thought about exposing my grandfather's conspiracy, but I didn't have the courage. He is my grandfather. Not only that, if I lose my grandfather, I will lose everything."
"hehe!"
Lu Xuan laughed: "But now you have lost everything, your status as a princess, and the imperial city where you have always lived."
"So, I regret it very much now -" Dong Huangli bit his red lip until it almost bled.
"Fortunately, you didn't get involved. Otherwise, Donghuang Yu wouldn't have let you go so easily if I hadn't been mentioned," Lu Xuan said lukewarmly.
Donghuang Li's delicate body trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"I think it was you who asked Donghuang Jade to plead for your father and brother, right?"
Lu Xuan asked.
"Um!"
Dong Huangli nodded: "My father was also opposed to my grandfather's alliance with foreign races at the beginning, but my grandfather insisted on having his own way, and my father was forced to do so."
"That's it," Lu Xuan nodded.
People are not saints, and no matter how kind-hearted Donghuang Jade is, if Donghuang Antai and Donghuang Xingchen, father and son, have committed extremely evil crimes, Donghuang Jade will not forgive them so lightly.
"Your father and brother are still waiting for you, go ahead."
Lu Xuan said seriously.
Donghuangli didn't move for a long time. After a while, he finally plucked up the courage and said, "Lu Xuan, shall we meet again in the future?"
"No way -" Lu Xuan shook his head and said.
Upon hearing his answer, Dong Huangli burst into tears again, covered his face and ran away crying.
Seeing Dong Huangli's heartbroken look, Lu Xuan actually felt bad. He vaguely remembered the scene when he first met Dong Huangli in a restaurant.
The little princess at that time was innocent, lively and cute.
An accident caused the friendship between the two of them to disappear, and even caused Dong Huangli to lose his identity as a princess.
Everyone has to pay for the wrong things they have done. There is nothing wrong with being selfish, but how many ghosts have your selfishness created?
Lu Xuan's master Nan Batian even died because of this.
Therefore, in this life, Lu Xuan cannot forgive Dong Huangli.
"metropolitan!"
At this time, several elders of Tiandao Sect led many disciples to come forward and hold their fists together.
Thinking of Nan Batian, Lu Xuan asked: "Where is my master's body?"
"In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it has been placed in an ice coffin," Elder Bao said with a trembling voice.
When mentioning the old sect leader, everyone felt heavy-hearted and their bodies were trembling.
"Let's go, take the ice coffin away, let's go back to Tiandao Sect together, and bury my master in glory!"
Lu Xuan said with burning eyes.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
In the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Nan Batian's body was lying quietly in an ice coffin.
At this time, Lu Xuan had arrived at the main hall. When he walked to the ice coffin, his heart began to tremble.
Looking at Nan Batian's pale, bloodless face and closed eyes, Lu Xuan knew that he would never open his eyes again.
"Sect Master, please show your condolences!"
The elders and sect disciples behind him all comforted him.
"Father--" Wan Yafei had already burst into tears and lay on the ice coffin, heartbroken.
Lu Xuan could never forget Nan Batian's kind and smiling face, let alone his careful teachings to him.
But all this is gone.
What Lu Xuan feared most was loss. Unexpectedly, he faced it and lost his master who had always loved and cared for him as his disciple.
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Lu Xuan said in a choked voice: "Let's set off back to the sect!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The ice coffin had already been tied with ropes. Several disciples stepped forward and lifted the ice coffin. Lu Xuan walked in front, and the group walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zuo Qingyue and Zhuang Ziyu were waiting outside the palace. They wanted to wait for Lu Xuan to finish everything and return to Xiangjiang together.
Seeing the crying Wan Yafei, Zuo Qingyue felt a trace of sympathy in her heart.
These days, there is no dispute between two senior sisters who would shout and kill each other whenever they meet.
Wangyue Zhixin and Wangyue Zhiyi looked at the tears in the corners of their master's eyes and couldn't help but sob.
After all, the two of them had been in contact with Nan Batian for a long time, and they were quite sad to see Nan Batian turned into a cold corpse.
The group of people walked out of the imperial city in a mighty manner and walked towards the mountains of the evil sect.
