For practitioners, especially those who have reached the mortal realm, the spiritual energy in their bodies will be extremely abundant, allowing the whole person to show a strong sense of vitality, both in terms of state and body.
But Ye Dong also felt vitality in this elder of the Cihang Sect whose cultivation had definitely reached the realm of transcendence, but it was a vitality that was constantly decreasing!
Although it was impossible to see the specific situation in Pei Xingyun's body, he could feel that his whole body was like a rubber ball with a hole in it. Although the hole was not big, it was leaking vitality bit by bit.
When all the vitality is lost, the natural thing waiting for Pei Xingyun is death.
Ye Dong originally thought that this was just his illusion. After all, it is possible for a person in the mortal realm to live to be five hundred years old, let alone a master in the mortal realm. Even if he does not live to be a thousand years old, at least seven or eight hundred years old is not a problem.
However, Pei Xingyun admitted that he was indeed about to die, which made Ye Dong's heart skip a beat, and he looked at the old man with a bit more admiration and an indescribable feeling in his eyes.
For most people, if they knew that they were about to die soon, they would be worried. Few people are truly open-minded, but Pei Xingyun was different. His crystal clear eyes clearly reflected the incomparable peace and indifference in his heart.
"Young Master, please sit down!"
Ye Dong sat opposite Pei Xingyun. He didn't know what to say for a moment and could only close his mouth in silence. On the contrary, Pei Xingyun laughed and said: "Young Master, at the birthday banquet yesterday, you showed off your majesty.
Why have you become so shy today? If you are worried about me, then there is no need. I have lived for a long time and have already earned enough. Death is not a big deal to me."
These words made Ye Dong feel awe in his heart, and he thought about it: "Elder Pei, is there no other way to extend your life?"
"Unless I can advance further in my cultivation, that is simply impossible. Even if it is the best panacea, it will not be of any use to my already declining body." Pei Xingyun obviously did not want to be with me.
Ye Dong continued to discuss this issue, waved his hand and said: "Young Master, I would like to ask, how old are you this year?"
"Seventeen!"
Pei Xingyun nodded repeatedly, his face full of relief and said: "Young Master, when I first heard Chaoyang's words, I didn't believe it at all, so I insisted on coming with him. Now I completely believe it. Young Master is really unparalleled.
You are a genius. You can achieve what you have today at the age of seventeen. It is really a blessing for our sect that you can become the leader of our sect!"
At the birthday banquet, Ye Dong had firmly established his position as the young master of Cihang Sect in everyone's hearts. Although he still did not agree, he did not refute after thinking about it.
Having said this, Pei Xingyun suddenly stood up and said, facing Ye Dong, he bowed respectfully and said: "As long as I live, I will do my best to assist the young master in becoming the leader of our sect."
Ye Dong hurriedly stood up, held his hands together and said, "Elder Pei, you are really embarrassing me."
Elder Pei didn't care about this. After giving the salute, he asked Ye Dong to sit down first, and then he sat down and said: "Young Master, to be honest, it is not easy to be the leader of this sect now. Please forgive me for this."
You have to be mentally prepared."
Ye Dong raised his eyebrows and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence.
Obviously, since the Liu family was wiped out and Grandpa Liu took Liu Xiang'er around to seek medical treatment, the Cihang Sect has lost its leader, so there must be many people coveting this position.
Now that a little guy like me suddenly appears with the Liumu Order and wants to be the leader of Cihang Sect, many people will definitely be unconvinced.
Elder Pei's next words also proved that Ye Dong's judgment was correct.
Although Cihang Sect has declined, in terms of overall strength, it is still superior to other sects, and the affairs within the sect are also co-chaired by the Council of Elders composed of six elders, and then handed over to the nine hall masters below.
implement.
However, the Presbyterian Church seemed to be harmonious, but in fact a group of three divided into two factions.
One faction believes that Old Sect Master Liu is dead and Cihang Sect must choose a new Sect Master as soon as possible. This faction is led by an elder named Shang Tianxiang. The other faction is convinced that Old Sect Master Liu is not dead and will definitely come back and start again.
He presides over Cihang Sect, and this sect is dominated by Pei Xingyun.
The status of the two factions within Cihang Sect is basically the same, but strictly speaking, Shang Tianxiang's power is higher than that of Pei Xingyun, because Shang Tianxiang himself is more powerful than Pei Xingyun, and he has many disciples and grandsons.
Therefore, if Ye Dong wants to truly become the leader of Cihang Sect, he must first surrender to Shang Tianxiang! This is why Pei Xingyun solemnly expressed his stance to Ye Dong just now. He firmly supports Ye Dong.
After understanding the true situation of Cihang Sect, Ye Dong only felt that his head was a bit big. He already had enough things to do, and he really didn't want to get involved in the battle for the master of Cihang Sect.
But now it is too late to explain, so he can only continue to remain silent, and Pei Xingyun has already continued: "Actually, the only people in the entire Cihang Sect who know your identity are Hou Jian, Chaoyang and me, but after this
For Lei Zhan’s birthday banquet, I think it won’t take long for more and more people to know about it, so young master, you have to be careful from today on, not only to the Palace of Yama, but also to Shang Tianxiang and the others.”
Ye Dong was a little surprised and said: "Do they still dare to kill me?"
Pei Xingyun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Dare! Shang Tianxiang is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Besides, as long as I kill you and get Liu Muling, he will be the head of Cihang Sect. Even I have to obey his orders. He
There is nothing to be afraid of! But you don’t have to worry too much, young master, I will do my best to protect you.”
Ye Dong frowned. He was not worried about his own safety, but Shang Tianxiang's character reminded him of his family.
Pei Xingyun's strength is already high enough, and Shang Tianxiang is even more powerful than him, and has many disciples and grandsons. So what if he uses the Ye family as a threat to force him to hand over Liu Mu Ling?
Seeing Ye Dong's expression, Pei Xingyun said: "Young Master, are you worried about Tianxin Sect?"
"No, I'm worried about my family."
"Family?" Pei Xingyun's face clearly showed a look of astonishment, but immediately he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the young master is still young and has a family, so this is indeed a problem."
All cultivators who can reach the realm of the mortal world are at least several hundred years old, and their family members, unless they have at least reached the realm of the mortal body, will not be able to live for such a long time. Therefore, most of the masters of the realm of the mortal realm are
A lonely person.
As for Lei Zhan and Mo Rou, they deliberately wanted Mo Linglong and Mo Huaishan at such an old age because they hoped they would still be alive when they died.
After the two of them pondered for a moment, Pei Xingyun suddenly said with a smile: "If the young master doesn't dislike it, I am willing to live in the young master's home for a long time. Maybe before I die, the young master can step into the realm of the world and join the mortal world.
If the contract is signed, then there is no need to worry!”
