Chapter 805 Master and servant recognize each other!
Purple Smoke Cemetery, the forbidden area of the Meteor Star Sect.
Although, the scenery around the cemetery is still pleasant, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, like a paradise.
However, along the way, Xiao Chen discovered that there were many signs of damage here, but they were later repaired.
Within the cemetery, there is only one cemetery and only one tombstone.
The words on the tombstone are also very simple, with only the words "Tomb of Bu Yunyan" written on it, without any other introduction.
Xiao Chen stopped in front of the tombstone, his spiritual consciousness penetrated under the tomb, and when he saw the empty coffin, he was speechless for a long time.
Sure enough, what he met was really Bu Yunyan's body, but his soul had been replaced by another person.
Soon, a figure rushed into the cemetery and was slightly startled when he saw Xiao Chen standing in front of the tombstone.
"Who are you……"
Wan Hong's expression contained doubts, vigilance, and even more disappointment.
He originally thought it was the one who had returned, but unexpectedly it wasn't.
"Wan Hong, what are you disappointed about?" Without turning around, Xiao Chen seemed to know the look on Wan Hong's face very well, and said in a calm tone, "Disappointed, am I not the person you are waiting for?"
"This..." Wan Hong was undecided for a moment and tried to maintain a polite attitude, "May I ask who you are? This is the forbidden area of our Meteor Star Sect. Outsiders are prohibited from entering. Please leave!"
Xiao Chen still didn't turn around and said calmly: "The thing that needs you to protect has been lost. Why should you be so cautious when facing an empty tomb?"
"You...who are you?" Wan Hong said in a deep voice.
"Alas!" Xiao Chen sighed sadly, turned around and looked at Wan Hongdao, "Do you remember the warning I gave you when I asked you to guard Ziyan Cemetery?"
When Wan Hong heard this, his pupils shrank, and he stood there dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning.
"I told you that if anyone wants to destroy this tomb, they must step over your body first. You confidently promised me that you would protect me to the death, but now you have let me down!" Xiao Chen said in a tone of voice.
Leng seemed to be blaming.
Plop!
Wan Hong no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he knelt on the ground with heavy knees.
When he sensed Xiao Chen's aura in the main hall, he felt very familiar. But when he came to Ziyan Cemetery, he found that Xiao Chen's appearance was completely wrong, so he became suspicious.
However, when Xiao Chen said these words that were exactly the same as the one from back then, he immediately confirmed Xiao Chen's identity in his heart.
"Master, are you still alive? This old slave knows that you will be fine and you will be able to defy fate and come back again!"
Wan Hong's old cheeks were streaked with tears, full of indescribable excitement, mixed with deep regret and self-blame.
"This old slave has been entrusted by his master. He knows that he has sinned deeply and should have died to apologize for his sins. It's just that he can't let go of his obsession, so he is still alive today!"
"But now that I have seen my master return, my wish has come true. I will have no regrets in this life!"
Feeling ashamed, Wan Hong raised his palm to breathe in his energy and landed a powerful palm towards his heavenly spirit, intending to commit suicide in front of Xiao Chen.
It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!
Suddenly seeing Xiao Chen's figure flash, he appeared in front of Wan Hong like a teleport, and easily stopped his palm.
"Master, why don't you let the old slave die?" Wan Hong asked in confusion.
"Do you really have no regrets about seeking death so easily?" Xiao Chen said lightly, "Since I have returned, I will definitely rule the world again. Don't you want to witness that day with your own eyes?"
When Wan Hong heard this, his eyes were cloudy and misty, but there was a radiance in them.
The former Zichen Immortal Emperor broke into the demon world, stepped into the underworld, destroyed Xuanyuan, and killed foreign races. He was the enemy and invincible of the world. He stood at the top of the Immortal Way, making all living beings bow their heads and looking down on the world. How domineering.
"But..." To say that he doesn't want to witness Xiao Chen reaching the top of the immortal world again is definitely a lie, but Wan Hong feels guilty after all and cannot continue living without that face.
"Okay, get up. I already know what happened to Bu Yunyan, and I can't blame you. I came back this time just to confirm, and I didn't ask you to die as an apology!"
The woman who took over Bu Yunyan's body was very powerful. Wan Hong was no match for her. It was normal that she couldn't stop her.
He said that asking Wan Hong to protect Bu Yunyan's tomb to the death only requires Wan Hong to have enough determination, rather than really asking Wan Hong to die.
"When did that woman come to snatch Bu Yunyan's body?" Xiao Chen asked.
Wan Hong did not hesitate and immediately replied: "About a hundred years ago!"
"A hundred years ago?" Xiao Chen frowned.
The Hall of Immortals has been established for at least thousands of years, which means that woman has been eyeing Bu Yunyan for at least thousands of years.
I'm afraid that the woman started planning to seize Bu Yunyan's body at the moment of Bu Yunyan's death, or even longer before that, but she only really took action a hundred years ago.
When Bu Yunyan died, it was thousands of years ago. At that time, he was not even an Immortal Emperor. Even if someone was secretly targeting Bu Yunyan, he might not be able to detect it.
"Forget it, this matter is very complicated. I can't fully understand it until I see that woman again!"
Xiao Chen knew that he would not be able to figure things out for a while, so he put the matter aside for now.
His attention returned to Wan Hong, and he asked calmly, "You have been really bad these years. Your cultivation has declined instead of advancing, and you have suffered such a serious injury?"
"Shame on you, old slave!" Wan Hong lowered his head in shame.
"Who hurt you, the person who took over Bu Yunyan's body?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No!" Wan Hong shook his head and said, "Although that woman is powerful, she did not make things difficult for the old slave. The old slave's injuries were caused by a sneak attack decades ago!"
"Being attacked by someone?" Xiao Chen frowned.
"Well, the old slave's cultivation reached the quasi-Immortal Emperor level at that time, and he wanted to try to break through the Immortal Emperor. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a group of mysterious people in the middle of the process, so he was seriously injured. His cultivation level dropped again and again, and now he can only use his Immortal Emperor ability.
The strength of the early king!" Wan Hong said.
"You are too impatient!" Xiao Chen shook his head when he heard this and said, "How can the Immortal Emperor be so easy to break through? Even if no one interferes with you, you will still fail!"
The Quasi-Immortal Emperor sounds nice and is only one step away from the Immortal Emperor, but in fact, he is completely different from the Immortal Emperor.
It’s still the same saying, if you don’t become an Immortal Emperor, you will eventually become an ant.
When Wan Hong heard this, he sighed: "Old slave actually knew in his heart that at that time, if he wanted to break through the Immortal Emperor, he only had less than a ten thousandth chance, but..."
Wan Hong did not continue, but Xiao Chen already understood what he meant.
He had always been brooding over the failure to protect Ziyan Cemetery, and had long thought of dying to apologize.
The reason for forcing the pass was probably that before apologizing, I was trying to see if I could touch the realm of the Immortal Emperor and fulfill my long-cherished wish.
"Okay, I understand. Your injuries are serious and most of your foundation has been destroyed. Treatment requires special drugs!"
Xiao Chen decided to stay in the Meteor Star Sect for the time being.
Ling Xiaozhu also needs to find medicine to heal his injuries, which can be done at the same time as Wan Hong's injuries.
Moreover, after being away from the fairy world for so long, the fairy world has obviously changed a lot, and he must first understand the situation.
(ps: Let me explain here, the Immortal Emperor is just a general term. Above the Immortal Emperor there is the Great Emperor, and above the Great Emperor there is the Heavenly Emperor. Ordinary Immortal Emperors are actually not uncommon in the immortal world, but the Great Emperor is very terrifying and rare in number. As for the Heavenly Emperor, there is no need
I would say more, he is a taboo figure who is stunning throughout the ages.)
