Mi Yuan remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and saying, "His injuries were caused by an assassin sent by the Taoists back then."
"Buzz!"
Lu Li suddenly felt a rush of heat to his head. Taoism! It was actually Taoism?
He never imagined that the person who caused Guiguzi's injury back then was actually a Taoist.
"This... how is this possible? How could it be Taoism? Is it the Empty Cicada?" Lu Li hurriedly asked.
Mi Yuan shook her head and said, "It's Kong Chan's senior brother, Feng Jingzi!"
Feng Jingzi? Lu Li was unfamiliar with this name. He had also placed people from the Black Ice Platform in the Taoist sect, but he had never heard of such a person in the Taoist sect.
“He has been dead for many years,” Mi Yuan explained.
Lu Li thought about it and agreed; Senior Kong Chan was already a ninety-year-old man.
"So my master has always lived in anonymity. He is not eighty years old, but ninety-nine!"
Mi Yuan nodded, then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "A hundred years old is a critical age, especially since he was seriously injured before. He's probably nearing his end!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Li froze on the spot.
Is ninety-nine years old a turning point?
At this moment, Lu Li was completely unsettled. When he left Ghost Valley, his master did not say much to him. Now that he thought about it, he was probably afraid that he would see through his disguise.
"Impossible, my master will definitely overcome this hurdle."
Lu Li stood there, stunned, muttering to himself.
"I've told you everything I need to say. If it weren't for the intervention of the medical community back then, your master wouldn't be alive today."
"Go on your way. Go back and tell your master that having him as a confidant in this life is enough!"
Lu Li left Mi Yuan's private school in a daze, not even knowing how he got back to the inn.
My mind is filled with what Mi Yuan just said: Guiguzi's time is coming to an end!
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lu Li looking distraught, Xiao Lu'er and Lu Fusheng were completely panicked, having no idea what had happened or why Lu Li had become like this after visiting Mi Yuan.
"Little deer, shall we go back to Yunmeng Mountain?"
Lu Li's voice was hoarse and tinged with anxiety. She was the person who knew Lu Li best; Lu Li's appearance meant that something had definitely happened.
"Brother Lu, what happened?" Little Deer asked, her eyes fixed on Lu Li.
"Mi...Mi Yuan said that Master's time is coming to an end."
"Nonsense! This place is thousands of miles away from Yunmeng Mountain, how could he possibly know?"
Lu Li didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Lu'er, but he couldn't stay there for another second.
"We'll set off immediately and return to Yunmeng Mountain!"
"good!"
Little Deer didn't say anything more and started packing her luggage. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the four of them mounted their horses and began to gallop towards Yunmeng Mountain.
They traveled day and night, with very little rest each day, and finally returned to Yunmeng Mountain on the tenth day.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, the outer disciples saw Lu Li and rushed forward, saying, "Senior Brother, you're finally back! Master... he's dying!"
Lu Li's expression immediately changed, his eyes widened, and he grabbed the man's collar, demanding, "What did you say? What happened to Master?"
The outer disciple was also frightened, having never seen Lu Li like this before.
"Senior Brother... Wei Zhuang... Senior Brother Wei Zhuang said that Master's lifespan is running out, and his fate is sealed; he's just clinging to life!"
Lu Li's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, as if he had understood something!
Why didn't Qingshan, a physician, leave after the Hundred Schools Conference? He already knew, but he was keeping it from me.
Lu Li and Xiao Lu'er immediately rushed to the courtyard where their master lived.
Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang were standing outside the door. When they saw Lu Li return, Wei Zhuang quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been? The men we sent out have all the way to Qi, but they still haven't found you!"
Lu Li felt very guilty. He didn't say a word, slowly pushed Wei Zhuang away, and walked step by step into the house.
But every step he took felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Pushing open the door, I saw my master lying on the bed, his face pale, seemingly unconscious. Moreover, his breathing was extremely weak, as if he were about to die at any moment.
Lu Li stood there blankly, her throat aching as if she had swallowed a burning coal, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"Master...Master," Lu Li called out, his voice trembling slightly.
Guiguzi, who was lying on the bed, seemed to recognize Lu Li's voice and opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Li'er...you're back?"
At this moment, Lu Li could no longer hold back and knelt down with a thud! He moved step by step toward Guiguzi's bedside.
"Master, why, why?"
Guiguzi, with power from who knows where, actually reached out and gently stroked his cheek.
"No one can escape death."
"I have something to tell you, so listen carefully."
Guiguzi's voice gradually became more and more ethereal, sometimes loud and sometimes as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"Haven't you always wanted to know my name?"
Lu Li shook his head, crying, and said, "Master, I saw Mi Yuan, and he told me everything!"
"That old bastard..."
"There's one more thing... about the sword... Jian Chen's background."
"He was originally the grandson of an old friend of mine, but his family was later brutally murdered. His father fought his way out of the encirclement and finally found me, handing Jian Chen over to me!"
