Chapter 1696: Cruel Humiliation
heir demise!Hearing that Qing might have been killed, the surrounding noise grew incredibly loud."Quiet." Black said coldly.The winged creatures of the Sky Clan on either side immediately fell silent....The Yuhuamen, the back mountain.
Chen Ye placed Lin Xunyu's body into a coffin that had already been prepared.
Before the coffin was buried, Chen Ye knelt down in front of it once again and kowtowed heavily.
Fang Yu stood aside, looking at the coffin in front of him, without speaking.
He originally wanted to follow the previous practice, keeping Lin Xunyu's body preserved and resurrecting her when there was an opportunity in the future.
But the words of Huo Yu dispelled his thoughts.
“He’s beyond reviving,” said Lihuo Jade. “His vitality has been depleted for far too long. Neither the Law of Life nor the Law of Time can make up for that lost portion. He even surpassed his original lifespan limit... The fact he's alive today is a miracle. To forcefully use the Laws of Time or Life on him… could even violate causality.”
Moreover, I reiterate that the Laws of Life and Time are not omnipotent; they each have their own limitations.
To my understanding, there is no one yet who can control their own death at will.
In fact, Fang Yu also knew about Lin Xiumu's condition, which was beyond saving.
He initially wanted to release the life force of the Starfruit to help Lin Xiuming maintain his bodily functions.
However, at that time, Lin Xinyu was actually already lifeless.
He seemed to be speaking with Fang Yu only by the strength of his remaining will.
Facing forward, Chen Ye bowed his head, then, with red eyes, buried the coffin in the ground.
Then, a tombstone was erected on the ground.
……
After everything was done, Chen Ye's mood had improved considerably.
Fang Yu and he stood before the cliff at the back of the mountain, gazing at the green sea in the distance and overlooking the entire island scenery.
"Has your master ever mentioned me to you" Fang Yu looked at Chen Ye and asked.
Chen Ye nodded.
Master Lin Xiumu was mortally wounded when he was alive, with only one breath left. He had only one wish.
That is to wait for Fangyu to arrive.
It was precisely this obsession that allowed Lin Xinyin to live on with his broken body until today.
But when he finally met Fang Yu, his obsession was lifted, and he passed away peacefully.
Master's departure filled Chen Ye with sadness.
But after the sadness, he felt happy again.
Master... Finally, I won't have to suffer anymore. Finally, I can rest well.
"Could you tell me everything about you two, your master and apprentice, and what happened to the Yuhuamen afterwards" Fang Yu glanced at Chen Ye and asked.
Chen Ye glanced at Fang Yu, took a deep breath, looked ahead, and reopened those dusty memories.
More than a thousand years ago, after Lin Batian left, Lin Xiumu did not directly inherit the position of headmaster.
For at that time, Lin Xinyin had only just arrived on Tiānchén Star for a few years and had not yet reached the Wǔhuà Realm.
The position of headmaster was taken over by the most outstanding elder at the time.
The successor to Lin Batian, the then-headmaster, possessed the strength of a peak Transcendent realm and even half-stepped into the Immortal Ascension realm!
And most of the remaining inner sect elders were above the realm of comprehension, with several being above the mortal realm.
Although the Yuhua Sect had lost Lin Batian at that time, its overall strength still deserved to be called a top-tier immortal sect!
And then, just like Fang Yu had said.
After hearing the news of Lin Batian's sudden disappearance, all the major domains united and launched wave after wave of targeted attacks on Huazhimen.
At the very beginning, when facing various kinds of attacks, Yuhuamen withstood them all without suffering too much loss.
...As time went on, more and more sects joined the ranks of the Huazhen sect. ...
Those sects, they just want to destroy the Yuhuamen!
Finally, one day, the other side dispatched a super expert with the cultivation of the Transcending Immortal Realm!
Under the leadership of this powerful figure, the Huahua Gate suffered tremendous losses that time.
The headmaster, in order to protect his disciples, fell on the spot. The remaining nine elders were all seriously injured!
After that battle, the Yuhuamen's strength was reduced by half!
It was also from that time onwards that the Yuhua Gate began to rapidly decline.
After the death of the previous leader, five successive leaders of Yuhua Gate died in quick succession.
At that time, the Yuhuamen. Whoever became the sect leader meant to bear the greatest danger, not knowing which day they would die and disappear.
To protect Lin Xinyin, no one in the Yuhua Gate at that time agreed with Lin Xinyin becoming the leader.
Thus, various elders and elite disciples went one after another, Yu Hualong Sect successively lost twelve sect leaders!
That was the darkest day in the history of Yuhuamen.
But even in darkness, Yuhuamen has never considered disbanding or shutting its doors.
Until the twelfth Grandmaster died, Lin Xiumu never wished to hide under protection, and became the thirteenth Grandmaster.
"After becoming the headmaster, Master was indeed betrayed." Chen Ye's eyes were red-rimmed, with resentment and anger still lingering in them. "About five hundred years ago, Master already had the cultivation of a peak Wuhua realm, about to step into the Transcendence Realm."
But just as he was in seclusion, striving to break through to the Transcendent Realm, those scoundrels sent people to the Yuhua Gate, and began their assassination…
"In that battle, our Yuhuamen suffered heavy losses. Master was also seriously injured and almost died…"
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze equally cold, and asked: "They killed all the way to Yuhua Gate... Why didn't they destroy the sect"
"Because...they want to toy with us, they want to watch our Yu Hua Gate linger on, until we perish! This is an insult to us!"
Chen Ye's hatred was no longer able to be concealed. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
A scene from the past, one that he still remembers vividly to this day.
A Transcendent Realm expert, stepping on his master's cheek, showed a smug and mocking smile.
"Without the Overlord Saint, what are you, the Yuhuamen"
"I'm curious, how long do you think the Yuhuamen sect can last after today..."
While Chen Ye was telling Fang Yu about what had happened, he wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.
He recalled his former fellow disciples who had died tragically.
"After that day, the Yu Hua Sect completely lost hope of rising again." Chen Ye said with a bitter voice, "All the disciples, either dead or seriously injured, their cultivation bases were abolished..."
"My master protected me, I only received minor injuries."
Fang Yu's eyes flickered.
Even if Chen Ye didn't say anything, he already knew what happened afterward.
Although the Yuhua Sect wasn't destroyed in that attack, its situation was even worse than if it had been.
Those whose cultivation is abolished or severely injured can only slowly wait for death to come.
In the end, it was just like the Feathering Gate that Fang Yu had seen before.
Barren to the extreme, only a master and apprentice remained, silently persevering.
Chen Ye crouched on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
The memories of that time were too painful, even though a long time has passed. Whenever he thinks back, he still feels immense pain.
"So close! Just a little closer! If we had just a bit more time, if the first Grandmaster could have broken through to the Immortal Ascending Realm, the outcome would have been different!" Chen Ye clutched his head, his temples bulging with veins, roared.
Fang Yu looked at Chen Ye and patted him on the shoulder.
"I understand how you feel," Fang Yu said coldly.nothing special. They died quite quickly, didn’t last long at all.”As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the hall, including Tong Wu Shuang who was standing on the high pl...
