Chapter 712: The Master Killer

Xiao Xuan seemed to have anticipated Ye Chen's arrival, and had been waiting in the courtyard in front of the main hall.

On the stone table in front of him, there was a pot of wine, and he was drinking by himself.

His face was gloomy, and it was unknown what was bothering him.

"Brother Xiao, why are you drinking alone?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.

Xiao Xuan's character was stubborn and open-minded. Once he determined something, he would try his best to do it the best.

As for open-mindedness, he rarely intervened in unimportant things, so he was hardly bothered by things.

"Ye Chen, come and have a drink with me."

Xiao Xuan raised his head, and his appearance at the moment scared Ye Chen.

His eyes were full of bloodshot, and his face was a little haggard and gloomy.

The whole person looked depressed and decadent.

Ye Chen had never seen Xiao Xuan in this state before.

Without saying a word, Ye Chen sat down, picked up the glass and filled it with wine, and clinked glasses with Xiao Xuan.

The two of them drank more than ten cups in a row without saying a word.

For strong men of their level, as long as they are willing, no matter how much wine they drink, it will not affect their minds.

When he drank the seventeenth cup, Xiao Xuan suddenly stopped.

He took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Ye Chen, let me ask you a question. If you find out that the elder you have always respected is a master killer, what will you do?"

Although Xiao Xuan did not say it clearly, Ye Chen had discussed this with Ren Qingyun and naturally knew what he meant.

For a while, Ye Chen also fell silent.

Obviously, Xiao Xuan knew what Xiao Yunmang had done.

In order to ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor, he did not hesitate to sneak attack his master Ren Qingyun. After killing his master, he sealed Ren Qingyun's remaining consciousness in the broken emperor weapon and suppressed it on the bones of the Rift River Ice Lion.

Relying on the broken emperor weapon, countless magic swords were attracted, which led to the later Lingjian Mountain.

All these practices were too unorthodox and despised by others.

At this point, Ye Chen finally understood why Xiao Xuan was so painful.

He was Xiao Yunmang's son, and he only respected his father in his heart.

Even though Xiao Yunmang was unfair and forcibly deprived him of the qualification to inherit the title of Young Sect Master, Xiao Xuan just held his breath and wanted to prove himself. He never, never resented his father at all.

In his mind, his father was a high and mighty existence, one of the seven emperors of the human race.

He was powerful and majestic, he punished evil and promoted good, he was justice!

Xiao Xuan's worship of Xiao Yunmang was almost blind, and he always regarded his father as the goal of his life.

He wanted to pursue the realm of the emperor, but never wanted to replace his father's position.

He just wanted to work hard to win his own luck and opportunity in the world of great contention.

Because of this, after learning that Xiao Yunmang had killed his master, the majestic figure in Xiao Xuan's mind collapsed.

It was like the collapse of life beliefs.

Qinglian Realm is a place that respects teachers.

This atmosphere is especially important in super sects.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the news of Xiao Yunmang killing his master spreads, he will be despised by everyone.

His fellow disciples will instantly turn against him and fight against him.

Xiao Xuan couldn't accept that his father had such an experience.

People who kill their teachers have no conscience.

Master brought you into the Tao, taught you how to be a man, and passed on his legacy to you.

But you are ambitious and repay kindness with hatred. This is simply... infuriating to both humans and gods!

"Brother Xiao, I actually had an intersection with Senior Ren."

Seeing Xiao Xuan's extremely painful look, Ye Chen thought again and again, and decided to tell him to comfort him.

"You...had an intersection with the master?"

Xiao Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was unbelievable.

Ren Qingyun died many years ago, and Ye Chen entered the sect only a few years ago. Why did they have an intersection?

Could it be...

A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Xuan's mind.

It is indeed possible.

"Do you remember that not long after I joined the sect, I triggered the resonance of the broken emperor weapon? Not long after that, the entire Lingjian Mountain collapsed. At that time, the whole sect believed that it was the soul of the Rift River Ice Lion that escaped and stole the body, but in fact, the reason why Lingjian Mountain collapsed was related to me."

Ye Chen smiled bitterly, "In that broken emperor weapon, there is a trace of consciousness of Senior Ren. It was this trace of consciousness that chose me, so Senior Ren passed on all his inheritance to me. This move of shrinking the earth into an inch is the mysterious body technique that Senior Ren created back then."

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Chen's figure disappeared from the spot.

He seemed to merge into the void, flashing wildly in the sect.

After a few breaths, he sat back in front of Xiao Xuan, "Just now, I flew around the sect."

"It's shrinking the earth into an inch."

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan's expression suddenly became excited, "Since the master still has a trace of consciousness, did he say anything to you?"

Deep in his heart, Xiao Xuan still didn't want to believe that his father was a master-killer.

So, he wanted to seize the last chance to verify and explore.

Looking at Xiao Xuan's hopeful eyes, Ye Chen sighed, "Brother Xiao, Senior Ren said that the reason he died was indeed because of Xiao Yunmang..."

Hearing this, the light in Xiao Xuan's eyes dimmed a little bit.

It seems that I am really crazy. Even the emperor who deduced the secrets of heaven questioned it. What he said represents the truth to a large extent.

"But, things are not without hope."

Ye Chen changed his tone, "Senior Ren also told me that day that he didn't believe that Xiao Yunmang, who he raised, would do such a thing. He believed that there must be something fishy behind it."

Then, Ye Chen told Xiao Xuan everything that Ren Qingyun said before his consciousness dissipated.

Ren Qingyun said that he believed that Xiao Yunmang was not such a character, and he didn't believe that he would attack him for no reason. There must be a hidden secret in it. Perhaps it was this hidden secret that made things confusing.

Xiao Xuan smiled bitterly. What would it matter to him if he knew all this?

The tall figure in his mind had already confirmed the fact of "master murder".

This could not be overturned no matter what.

"Brother Xiao, only when our realm is improved can we have the strength to explore the truth."

Ye Chen patted Xiao Xuan on the shoulder, "We must cheer up!"

Huh.

Xiao Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and quickly adjusted his mood.

Indeed, things have already happened, and it is meaningless to dwell on them.

One must be strong enough to be qualified to check the truth.

"There is another important thing for me to return this time."

Ye Chen's eyes became more and more determined, "Within ten days, Tiandao Sect will have natural treasures appearing. I think it will definitely cause a fight. Our Tiandao Sect has been at the forefront of the storm for some time. The other four super sects regard us as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. When that time comes, they will definitely come after hearing the news!"
