Chapter 2467: Chapter 92: He Is Very Lonely_3

But Xu Ximing has been dead for thirteen years now...

There is a clear mismatch between fact and feeling.

At this time, Ruan Qin moved his hand away, dispersing the starlight on his hand.

Shaking his head: "There’s no problem."

"Strange," Chen Pu frowned and said, "Then what was his purpose in contacting Jiang You?"

"Who knows?" Si Yu’an said with a slight lift of his gaze, "Perhaps Bodhi Evil Ancestor wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the current young people?"

Both Chen Pu and Si Yu’an clearly accepted Ruan Qin’s investigative results.

However, Jiang Wang himself felt uneasy and said to Ruan Qin, "Perhaps you could check once more?"

Ruan Qin smiled slightly: "In Evil Sea, only three entities can elude several True Monarchs and contact you. Whichever one of the three it is, it wouldn’t be able to leave no trace for me after passing through the Door of Mortal World."

The confidence in the words of this Daqi Qintianjian Director provided Jiang Wang with a great sense of security.

Yes, Bodhi Evil Ancestor has already been quelled by Huo Shiji, Blood River remains the Boundary River, the time of calamity hasn’t arrived, and now they have already passed through the Door of Mortal World. There should be nothing to worry about.

At this time, Chen Pu asked again: "From your own perspective, what do you think was the reason that imposter using Xu Ximing contacted you? No need for any evidence, and no need to be correct, just tell your genuine feelings."

Jiang Wang said, "I think he is very lonely."

After thinking for a while, he added, "The ’he’ I’m referring to is Xu Ximing."

"You think Xu Ximing isn’t dead?" Chen Pu asked.

Jiang Wang deliberated his words: "Triple Punishment Palace has long confirmed his life and death, I just feel that the one speaking to me was indeed the will of Xu Ximing."

"It’s not uncommon to imprison thousands of wills in one body. It’s even a natural skill of Bodhi Evil Ancestor," Chen Pu said, "Just like the Bodhi Evil Words in Evil Sea before. As for why Bodhi Evil Ancestor released this will... it might be related to Master Wu."

Jiang Wang thought, perhaps it is for this reason that Master Wu left without asking anything?

But Chen Pu said no more on this topic.

And perhaps, several True Monarchs were already having other discussions.

"Everyone," Peng Chongjian approached after their discussion about Xu Ximing ended, "Today’s a good day with several True Monarchs present, could you bear witness for our Blood River Sect?"

At this moment, his injuries hadn’t healed yet, his breath was weak, but once he spoke, he naturally represented the Blood River Sect, with an undeniable presence.

"Not sure what you need us to witness?" Chen Pu’s tone was gentle, with the power to soothe people’s hearts.

Peng Chongjian said, "The Sect Master has passed away, Blood River is without a leader. The most important thing right now is to establish a new Sect Master. We beg all of you to bear witness, so that the rightful leader can legally succeed." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

What he said was indeed within reason.

Though it sounded like a request for witnessing, it was essentially asking for protection.

With these few Yan Dao Experts witnessing the Blood River Sect’s succession, external forces with ambitions of intruding and seizing Blood River Sect’s foundation would have to think carefully.

Of course, Chen Pu understood this but showed no intention of evading; he only said: "Not sure if Sect Master Huo established a successor before he passed?"

Peng Chongjian shook his head, with a bitter voice: "The Sect Master was in the prime of life, his cultivation at the Absolute Summit, who could have anticipated such a calamity?"

"Master!" Yu Xiaochen, standing beside him, urgently said, "Blood River Sect is now leaderless, who else but you can take on such a task?"

He was close to directly pushing his master onto the throne, while contemptuously dismissing the previous Sect Master’s will as worthless.

Of course, such eagerness is a display of loyalty.

Peng Chongjian furrowed his brows: "Since when was it your turn to speak? Close your mouth!"

After Yu Xiaochen unwillingly quieted down, he looked at Kou Xuejiao: "Although the Sect Master has passed, the spirit of Blood River Sect must be preserved... What does Junior Sister Kou think?"

Chen Pu was inclined to protect, hence he witnessed.

But as outsiders, both Ruan Qin and Si Yu’an remained silent.

Even Jiang Wang, as a mere Deity, maintained his silence.

Yu Xiaochen’s words were not unfounded, in the entire Blood River Sect, at present, no one could truly compete with Peng Chongjian for the position of Sect Master. Even Right Protector Kou Xuejiao was clearly at a disadvantage compared to Peng Chongjian.

Among the three elders of Blood River Sect, Xu Mingsong originally had some hope, after all, he also aspired to the Yan Dao Realm, but now he has become a prisoner of Cliff of Celestial Punishment, with no chance of salvation.

Kou Xuejiao donned armor, pressed her sword, and said aloud, "From my personal perspective, I naturally see Senior Brother Peng as a fitting Sect Master. I think Elder You and Elder Zhang wouldn’t have any objections either. However..."

The most feared word in any situation is however.

Yu Xiaochen suddenly felt a bit nervous.

On the contrary, Peng Chongjian, still breathing weakly, said calmly and smoothly, "With several True Monarchs here witnessing, my Blood River Sect will surely remain in order. Junior Sister, do speak your mind."

Kou Xuejiao nodded slightly with a hint of apology: "However, before his death, Sect Master Huo had expectations for the next Sect Master!"
