“Senior Yu, you can’t handle this. Please wait a moment at the airport.” Zhang Tianle said to Yu Liang’en as he walked out.
Yu Liang'en will definitely not come back this time. He will die in that cave, and he will also cause a big incident.
An ancient corpse has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on the region.
Now that he has discovered this matter, it must be stopped.
Moreover, this matter also involves his master.
"The plane is about to take off. My mind is made up, so please don't try to persuade me." Yu Liang'en declined Zhang Tianle's offer of help.
All he cares about now is passing on his legacy; his own life is no longer important.
He had already meticulously written down his techniques, insights, and tips in a book. As long as future generations are willing to learn according to that standard, they will definitely achieve something.
So even if he really dies this time, as long as the headquarters of the Metaphysics Guild fulfills his promise to them, his legacy can still be passed down.
Just as Yu Liang'en was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Tianle's voice came through: "Senior Yu, do you really think that if you die because of this, the headquarters of the Metaphysics Guild will help you choose a successor? To be precise, will the person who promised you help you inherit your legacy?"
Yu Liang'en remained silent.
He was gambling too.
"They won't. In fact, their real purpose is to get you to go to that cave and help them release the ancient corpse inside. Do you know how many casualties the ancient corpse caused after you died? People in a nearby city died because of that ancient corpse. That city became a living hell."
After Zhang Tianle said this, Yu Liang'en fell silent.
After a long silence, Yu Liang'en gave a bitter laugh: "You little rascal, you're really testing my conscience. Are you trying to make me give up on this trip? I've helped others my whole life, but in my old age, I want to be selfish for once. Our lineage cannot be broken. And what about that person you promised me? I believe him. Given his position, he won't go back on his word. Besides, we have witnesses."
Even if he knew there were great risks involved, what would be the point of all this if his lineage were to be severed?
He has no other choice now.
So he was willing to take a gamble.
“Senior Yu, the successor you are looking for will appear sooner or later. Doing this will only make your lineage more likely to be lost. Moreover, those people who take your inherited skills will not benefit humanity, but will instead harm it,” Zhang Tianle advised again.
While he was trying to persuade Yu Liang'en, the time for the plane to take off was fast approaching, and he still hadn't been able to hail a taxi. In desperation, he took out the token that King Yama had given him, infused it with spiritual power, and shook it twice.
The gates of hell opened before Zhang Tianle, and the Wheel King appeared before him.
"Please, King Wheel, take me to the airport. It's urgent. I'll explain as we go." Zhang Tianle pulled King Wheel into the Gates of Hell, heading towards the airport via a path through the underworld.
On the way, Zhang Tianle reported the matter to King Zhuanlun.
King Yama is numb.
The people of an entire city were turned into zombies because of an ancient corpse.
Just thinking about it makes his scalp tingle.
Originally, Zhang Tianle was pulling him along, but after hearing this, it became him pulling Zhang Tianle along.
This is no joke.
If not handled properly, it could cause the already fragile Reincarnation Well to collapse.
This is truly a turbulent time.
Soon, the two arrived at the airport and stopped Yu Liang'en, who was about to board the plane.
Yu Liang'en was also startled by the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him.
It's almost his turn to check tickets.
"Senior Yu." Zhang Tianle stopped Yu Liang'en.
Yu Liang'en gave a wry smile: "You silly child, why did you come after me?"
He glanced at King Yama and said, "They even invited this gentleman here."
He naturally recognized King Chakravartin.
Those in their line of work deal with people below them a lot. If they can't even recognize the Wheel King, they might as well give up on this line of work.
“Child, my mind is made up. Don’t try to persuade me! I know what I’m doing is selfish, but for the sake of my legacy, I have to do it. Besides, I don’t have much time left to waste. I want to pass on my legacy as soon as possible while I’m still healthy and capable.” Yu Liang’en sighed and, in front of Zhang Tianle, lifted his wrist: “Take a look.”
His wrists were covered in a bluish-purple discoloration that extended all the way up to his elbows.
"Two years ago, I helped a wealthy man relocate his grave. However, his ancestors had been tricked by a feng shui master. It was a place for raising corpses, and his ancestor had turned into a zombie. I was caught off guard and got bitten. Although I was treated, my body is still tainted by the corpse's energy, and I only have ten years to live. So, as you said, I really am powerless to pass on the family line on my own." Yu Liang'en gave a bitter smile.
He had originally planned to retire after finishing that task and focus on finding an apprentice.
Because the three million from that one deal was enough for him to find an apprentice.
Unfortunately, human calculations are ultimately no match for divine calculations.
Left with no other choice, he turned to his old friends.
“Child, you know how important the legacy is to us old folks. So even if I might die or cause trouble for many people this time, I'm still going. As for your concern that my legacy might be exploited in the future, at least it's been passed down, isn't it?”
He probably used to think he would find a good successor to pass on his teachings.
But who would be willing to do such a thankless job these days?
Moreover, such a thing might not even happen for ten years.
This approach is no longer suitable for today's fast-paced society.
“If Senior Yu is going, I’ll go with you.” Zhang Tianle actually saw something in Yu Liang’en’s face—the truth about his master’s death back then.
If we find out why our master died, we might be able to find out where he is now.
Yu Liang'en was stunned, then shook his head: "You said it's dangerous there, I can't take you. If your master were still alive, he would skin me alive if he knew I was taking you to such a dangerous place."
It's one thing for him to take risks, but he can't bring his old friend's apprentice into danger.
"If Senior Yu takes me there, perhaps I can find you a suitable successor. Doesn't Senior Yu believe in the strength of our Shundao Hall?"
Yu Liang'en was moved by Zhang Tianle's words.
He believed in Shundaotang's strength.
Zhang Ninghe possessed the strength of a half-step Celestial Master back then, capable of commanding wind and rain.
He was officially recognized as a half-step Celestial Master only because he inherited Shundao Hall, which was equivalent to inheriting the Celestial Master Seal of Shundao Hall. However, his strength was indeed at the Great Perfection of the Dao Sect Realm.
