Chapter 682

The Eight Desolates Nine Domains have retreated, and it is a full retreat.

In contrast to the previous situation, this time it is the Four Directions Continent that is putting up a desperate offensive.

However, faced with the fierce onslaught from the Four Directions Continent, the Eight Desolates Nine Domains have maintained a defensive posture.

……

Temporary Heavenly Court.

Xu Yao and others stood quietly in the center of the main hall, all the martial figures of the Heavenly Court watching them.

Fifteen years of time and experience have proven that they are true Heavenly Prodigies.

In the past, they would have readily accepted all compliments with great satisfaction.

But now, they feel exhausted; if possible, they would rather be an ordinary Cultivator.

The rewards for the sealing were quite complex, and the rewards for the sealing were also considerable; even Si Ma Lan and Ye Hong received a certain degree of sealing.

But everyone was indifferent to these so-called rewards.

Compared to the recognition from that person, these rewards seemed so insignificant.

As the sealing concluded, the martial figures began to disperse, and Xu Yao and the others soon arrived in the back garden.

There they saw a person comfortably leaning against a large white dog, reading a book.

“Chen Changsheng, could you not lean on me? It’s quite heavy, you know.”

“Just a little, I’ve been exhausted for over ten years now, can’t a person rest for a moment?”

“Of course resting is fine, but you have to give me half of what you’re carrying.”

“Dream on! This thing is still useful to me.”

Seeing Chen Changsheng bantering with Bai Ze, Xu Yao and the others approached him, bowing deeply.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly.

“You two have just arrived; there must be many things you’re not used to.”

“But it’s okay, you can treat this place as your own home.”

“If there’s anything you want, let Su You and Jian Fei handle it. If they can’t, then go find Qian Ya.”

“If even Qian Ya can’t handle it, I’ll personally take charge for you.”

Upon hearing this, Si Ma Lan and Ye Hong naturally understood that this was Chen Changsheng showing goodwill towards them.

So, Si Ma Lan and Ye Hong clasped their hands in a salute and prepared to say a few words of thanks.

“You two, why aren’t you thanking the master yet?”

“This is a great kindness from the master!”

Suddenly interjecting, Su You emphasized the word “master.”

Hearing this, Ye Hong and Si Ma Lan immediately understood and said in unison.

“Thank you, master!”

“Hahaha!”

“Well then, since you addressed me as ‘master’, I naturally have to give you a meeting gift.”

Saying this, Chen Changsheng took out two jade tablets and handed them over.

“These two jade tablets contain a trace of my Spiritual Sense; as long as you crush them, I will be able to sense it.”

“No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can call for my help.”

“Also, Bai Li Chang Kong and Ye Feng have been ordered to be saved; I’ve arranged for them to recover in a secret place, so you need not worry.”

At these words, hope ignited in Si Ma Lan and Ye Hong’s eyes.

“Master, is this true?”

“Absolutely!”

“You don’t need to express your thanks; living well is better than anything.”

After saying this, Chen Changsheng once again leaned back against Bai Ze.

Looking at the group that was reluctant to leave, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “Why are you still here? Do you have something to say?”

Hesitating, Xu Yao stammered, “Xiancha, Chen Xiang wants me to relay…”

“I can’t manage that!”

Chen Changsheng interrupted Xu Yao’s words and then lowered his eyelids, saying.

“Your father is currently brandishing a kn*fe and looking to cut someone; I don’t want to touch that bad luck.”

“If he is so capable, then let him visit himself.”

“Having the heart but not the courage, what kind of hero is that?”

“Were you not so capable back then? If there’s a problem, go solve it yourself!”

Hearing this, Xu Yao could only awkwardly close his mouth.

Facing Xu Yao’s matter, everyone cast their eyes askance, afraid to touch upon this subject.

After a few breaths, Chen Changsheng impatiently said, “If you have something to say, say it; if not, then hurry and leave.”

“Do not disturb my reading mood.”

Seeing that Chen Changsheng was getting somewhat impatient, Su Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Xiancha, when we were young and naive, we did some foolish things, causing trouble for those around us.”

“Now we want to atone for our sins, and we hope you can be lenient.”

“Xiancha, we feel the same!”

Ma Ling’er and the ghost siblings all bowed in salute.

It was clear they wanted to spare their father and teacher from past punishments.

Looking at the few people who were bowing to him, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said.

“This request is not excessive, but have you considered another matter?”

“Even if I exempt the Old Celestial Master and the others from punishment, how long can they live?”

Once these words were said, Su Yao raised his head in confusion.

“Xiancha, what do you mean by this?”

“I’m saying it very clearly; they are going to d*e.”

“If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have let them go to the front lines.”

“They willingly joined the front lines because they want to shine brilliantly during their final moments.”

“Xiancha, what has happened to my master?”

The ghost sibling asked eagerly.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “They are fine, not a single problem.”

“Then if there’s no problem, why will they d*e?”

“Who says that not having problems means they won’t d*e? All spirits have the restraint of lifespan, your master is no exception.”

“That big frog and the Old Celestial Master participated in the Reincarnation War; at that time, they were already notable figures in the Immortal King Realm.”

“The Reincarnation War has now passed more than twenty thousand years.”

“Considering the time they have already lived, they have been in this world for sixty thousand years.”

“The Immortal King Realm has nine levels; when that level was delineated, I based it on the lifespan limits of Immortal King realm cultivators.”

“With each rank increase, a cultivator’s lifespan extends by ten thousand years.”

“The specific lifespan varies from person to person, with a variation of no more than twenty thousand years.”

“The big frog and the Old Celestial Master are roughly at the peak of the Immortal King Sixth Rank; at most, they’ve reached the Immortal King Seventh Rank.”

“So you can calculate for yourselves whether or not they are close to d*ath.”

After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Su Yao was momentarily at a loss for words.

This matter had developed in a reasonable and foreseeable manner.

Previously, not taking this matter to heart was completely due to his unwillingness to face it, thus ignoring this fact.

But now the reality was laid out before him, and Su Yao and others realized how difficult it was to accept.

Why must his loved ones leave for no apparent reason?
