When Jiang Luochen heard this, he felt a mixture of bitterness and emotion in his heart.

He cupped his hands and bowed deeply, his eyes gleaming, "Master, once everything is settled, I will go to Cangwu Mountain and follow you!"

Jiang Daoxuan patted his shoulder gently, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "Okay, remember, you will always be my disciple, and Cangwu Mountain will always be your home..."

The two smiled at each other, their tacit understanding still the same.

Jiang Luochen's gaze became more determined.

He knew that he still had things to do.

But his master's understanding and support made him no longer have any hesitation.

The wind from Xuantian Realm blew past, and the robes of the two men fluttered lightly.

Jiang Daoxuan turned and looked into the distance, saying softly, "Go, Chen'er."

"I'll wait for you at Cangwu Mountain."

Jiang Luochen took a deep breath, his eyes as firm as iron: "Yes, Master."

After saying this, he bowed again.

Then he flew towards the direction of Luochen Sword Sect.

He understood that the responsibilities and mission on his shoulders had just begun.

And the end of everything is to reunite with Master!

..........

Shortly after.

Huaguang Holy Land.

Jiang Daoxuan stepped into the secret room and took back the incarnation guarding the formation.

Wu Hai heard the noise and looked up suddenly.

His face was ashen, and his cloudy eyes were filled with fear.

The former arrogance is long gone.

At this moment, all he had left was extreme fragility and fear.

"Wu Hai."

Jiang Daoxuan's voice was calm and cold as water.

Wu Hai trembled all over, knelt on the ground, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

His voice trembled, almost choking with sobs: "Senior, junior... I am willing to cooperate with everything, I only ask you to let me live!"

Jiang Daoxuan walked forward slowly, his breath was sharp, and the air in the entire secret room froze.

Wu Hai felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

He was trembling all over and his throat was dry, as if he would suffocate at any moment.

"You've harmed Zhou Chen to this point. Your words of repentance are pale and powerless."

"Whether your so-called repentance is true or false, I will judge it myself."

Wu Hai's face suddenly turned pale, and his facial features were distorted with fear.

He prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice.

However, Jiang Daoxuan showed no mercy.

He just turned slightly and looked towards the cross-border formation.

With a wave of his hand, the formation vibrated and hummed, and the space intertwined to form an illusory light gate leading to Cangwu Mountain.

"stand up."

Jiang Daoxuan's voice was cold and unquestionable.

Wu Hai stood up tremblingly, his limbs stiff, and looked at the light gate with despair.

"Come back with me and face the punishment you deserve."

Jiang Daoxuan raised his hand and imprisoned Wu Hai in an invisible force, then pushed him forward, causing him to stagger into the light gate.

Then he took a step in and his figure disappeared in the light.

next moment.

The two of them have appeared on the top of Cangwu Mountain.

Jiang Daoxuan turned around with a cold look in his eyes and led Wu Hai towards the Dan Palace.

Along the way, many tribesmen stopped, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, and they kept talking in low voices.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hai lowered his head and his face became even redder.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Dan Palace.

Inside the hall, a young man was listening attentively.

The young man had handsome features and an extraordinary bearing. He was none other than Jiang Yan, one of the Ten Outstanding Men of Cangwu.

The person who gave the lecture was Zhou Chen, the master of the Dan Palace.

He was explaining in detail the principle of refining a complex elixir, occasionally glancing at Jiang Yan, his eyes full of love and expectation.

Suddenly, he had an idea and looked outside the hall.

A familiar and majestic figure walked in slowly. It was Jiang Daoxuan.

Zhou Chen was stunned, his expression showing surprise and confusion.

"Lord Patriarch!"

He quickly collected his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Yan also stood up and bowed his head in greeting, his heart full of curiosity.

The clan leader rarely comes to the Dan Palace in person. What is the reason for his sudden appearance this time?

Jiang Daoxuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the two of them, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan became even more confused.

But at this moment, his attention was suddenly attracted by a strange figure walking out from behind the patriarch.

The man's face was pale, his blood and energy were weak, and it was obvious that his cultivation had been abolished not long ago. His body was almost dilapidated.

“This person is…”

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In comparison, Zhou Chen's reaction was much more exaggerated.

After seeing the familiar figure, his pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had seen something incredible, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Wu Hai..."

Zhou Chen murmured, his voice filled with shock and pain that was difficult to conceal.

This name was like a sharp blade, instantly tearing open the wound that had not healed for many years.

His face was pale, as if he had returned to that day - he failed to pass the tribulation, his body was destroyed, and his remaining soul was barely alive. The culprit was none other than the "good disciple" in front of him.

"What? He is Wu Hai?!"

Shock and anger suddenly flashed across Jiang Yan's eyes.

He was very familiar with this name.

Because this is the culprit that caused Master to lose his physical body and only be able to survive as a residual soul!

All the pain and humiliation that Master has endured was caused by this person!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan strode forward, grabbed Wu Hai by the collar, clasped his fingers together, and shouted like thunder: "Wu Hai, you traitor, how dare you show up again? Today, I will seek justice for my master!"

Wu Hai's face grew paler.

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.

With his head lowered, humiliation flashed in his eyes.

There was a time when such angry rebukes were nothing but the cries of ants in his ears.

But now, he has lost his former ninth-level cultivation as a Saint King and is now like a mortal.

Faced with Jiang Yan's anger, he was unable to fight back.

Wu Hai closed his eyes, suppressed his unhappiness, and said in a deep voice: "I am sorry to Master..."

Jiang Yan became even angrier when he heard this.

"Do you think a simple 'I'm sorry' can redeem you? Have you ever thought about how Master has endured the pain of his remaining soul all these years?!"

Just as Jiang Yan was questioning angrily, Zhou Chen finally came to his senses.

He stared at Wu Hai with complicated feelings, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

At this moment, the teachings and memories of the past flooded into his mind, making him feel heartbroken.

Then he waved his hand to stop Jiang Yan's angry scolding.

"Disciple, no need to say more."

There was a hint of fatigue in Zhou Chen's voice.

Jiang Yan was stunned. He turned to look at his master, his eyes full of confusion: "Master! He hurt you so much, do you still want to forgive him?"

The words fell.

A glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in Wu Hai's heart.

He raised his head tremblingly, his voice hoarse, "Master, what happened back then...I was confused for a moment, blinded by greed."

"I really know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

He knelt on the ground, his voice full of regret, trying to summon a trace of mercy with past friendship.

However, Zhou Chen just stared at him quietly, with disappointment that was hard to conceal in his eyes.

After a moment, he finally spoke: "Wu Hai, I once had high hopes for you. I treated you like my own son and taught you everything I learned in my life."

"But because of a momentary thought, you destroyed me and yourself.

"See you today, I feel only sorrow in my heart."

"Not for myself, but for you."

"Wu Hai, your talent and hard work were ultimately destroyed by your own hands..."
