Chapter 525 The Fall of the Lingtian Sect Master!
Chapter 525 The Fall of the Lingtian Sect Master!
Soon, the group arrived at the forbidden area of the Lingtian Sect.
Among the younger generation, only Ling Chenyan and Huangfu Shan are allowed to enter.
However, standing before the forbidden area, Ling Chenyan hesitated.
"what happened?"
Gu Jiancheng frowned and asked.
"My father..."
Ling Chenyan pursed her lips and muttered, "Back then, my father didn't care about anything because of his cultivation. Even my mother died at the hands of the demon race because he didn't intervene in time."
"I hate him!"
"It wasn't until ten years ago, when my father suffered a cultivation mishap and could only go into seclusion, that he told me that the Lingtian Sect was facing annihilation, which is why he went to great lengths to cultivate demonic arts."
"When my mother had the accident, he had already gone mad with qi. If he had come out of seclusion, not only would he not have been able to save my mother, but the entire Lingtian Sect would have been destroyed."
"He carried a heavy burden, but I never understood him until my cultivation gradually grew stronger and I left the Lingtian Sect. Only then did I realize how terrifying the Chaotic Immortal Realm was."
“But I still don’t know how to face my father. Every time, I only go this far and then I don’t go any further. He knows that I’ve been here,” Ling Chenyan said with a bitter smile.
"So, you're not going in this time either?"
Gu Jiancheng frowned and asked.
“I don’t know either. My dad’s condition is getting worse every day. I don’t know how he is now.”
Ling Chenyan shook her head.
“Go in. You have to face it eventually. Besides, you’re strong now, so it’s time to talk to your father.”
Gu Jiancheng encouraged him.
"Then, will you come in with me?"
At this moment, Ling Chenyan suddenly looked at Gu Jiancheng, her face full of pleading.
"I?"
"Alright then!" Gu Jiancheng thought for a moment and nodded.
Although it wasn't appropriate for him to go in with her, he couldn't refuse Ling Chenyan's request.
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng and Ling Chenyan entered the forbidden area together.
However, the moment he entered this forbidden area, Gu Jiancheng's expression darkened.
Because this place was filled with a strange, demonic aura.
It's very powerful, but also very chaotic.
It seems that what Ling Chenyan said was true; the Sect Master Lingtian was indeed cultivating demonic arts and had already gone mad from the practice.
It seems that the situation is already quite bad.
Soon, Ling Chenyan led Gu Jiancheng to a cave.
However, as soon as Gu Jiancheng approached the cave, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
Even with the Yin-Yang Profound Power within him, he could still feel this chill!
When Gu Jiancheng saw a figure bound by chains in front of the black iceberg, his expression changed drastically.
At this moment, the cultivator seemed to have been tortured terribly.
Even worse, his cultivation level had dropped to the Golden Immortal level, and his skin was dark, resembling a skeleton.
"Yan'er!"
While Ling Chenyan was still standing there in a daze, the cultivator had already raised his eyes and cried out with tears in his eyes.
"father!"
At this moment, Ling Chenyan finally came to her senses and rushed over to hug the immobile cultivator tightly.
"No!"
But the cultivator shuddered and sent Ling Chenyan flying.
"Yan'er, you must not touch your father's aura!"
"Father, how could you have become like this!" Ling Chenyan knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
This is not what his father used to be like!
"Hehe, Yan'er, it was Dad who scared you."
"Don't be afraid, your father deserves this punishment!"
"If I could see you one last time before I die, and hear you call me 'Father' one more time, I would have no regrets even if I died!"
The monk smiled wryly.
"Father, please don't talk nonsense, I don't want you to die!"
"My daughter has now received the complete Cihang inheritance and can protect you and the Lingtian Sect!"
"Father, don't leave me!"
Ling Chenyan burst into tears.
"Hehe, seeing you grow up makes Dad very happy. You are Dad's greatest pride in this life!"
"You must protect the sect."
"Father, I will leave this place carrying all my sins and demonic energy with me."
"Hahaha, God, I used to think you were unfair to me, Ling Tian, but now it seems you've been really good to me!"
The cultivator laughed wildly, and then demonic energy around his body suddenly burst into flames.
Clearly, he intended to die by self-immolation.
Perhaps, Ling Chenyan's appearance has already put an end to all his worries.
But at this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly raised his hand, and the Yin and Yang energies surged out instantly, enveloping his body.
In an instant, the demonic aura on the cultivator's body stopped burning.
"Ok?"
This scene immediately startled the cultivator.
"Senior, please don't worry. Perhaps I can solve your problem!"
Gu Jiancheng smiled.
"Brother Jiancheng, is what you said true?"
At this moment, Ling Chenyan stopped crying and quickly looked at Gu Jiancheng, her face full of expectation.
"Little brother, who are you?"
At this moment, the Sect Master of Lingtian also frowned and asked.
"Oh, this junior is the protector of Chenyan!" Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.
"That's right. Although Brother Jiancheng is not yet at the Golden Immortal level, his combat power is extremely strong. In the secret realm, he defeated all the geniuses of Lingtian Sect!"
Ling Chenyan quickly explained.
"Yan'er is a protector of the Dao. No wonder you have such a special aura and boundless potential."
"But I am no longer worth your time."
Sect Master Lingtian shook his head.
"No, although the aura emanating from you is troublesome, I can certainly handle it, and it won't be difficult at all!"
But Gu Jiancheng laughed.
In fact, Gu Jiancheng had already begun his research before he even arrived at the cave.
The demonic cultivation technique practiced by the Lingtian Sect Master was of an extremely high grade, but it was probably not complete. Moreover, he had switched to the demonic path halfway through his cultivation, which is why the demonic energy clashed with his original aura.
The solution is actually quite simple: just reunite the two energies.
As long as things are balanced, at least the Sect Master of Lingtian Sect will not perish.
"Moreover, the sect leader cannot perish now. Chen Yan has just returned, and the Lingtian Sect is still unstable. Although my combat strength is strong, I still need to cultivate. If you perish at this time, the Lingtian Sect will surely be in chaos!" Gu Jiancheng said in a deep voice.
"That's right, Father, please let Brother Jiancheng try. There must be a way. I don't want you to die!"
Ling Chenyan quickly added.
