Chapter 980: Yin Gui Zhenren entrusts Zhuge Ruolan

Moreover, the Yin Gui Sect doesn't need me either; after thinking it over, I might as well go to Tianwai to venture out, which could also be considered fulfilling the sect's long-held wish.

The successive sect masters of my Yin Gui Sect all wanted to go to Tianwai; the result is that few people can go to Tianwai, and even fewer successfully enter Tianwai, and how many of them can survive?

Yin Gui Zhenren didn't know; he, ah, wanted to fulfill this wish.

If it were before, venturing into Tianwai and relying on strength to carve out a bloody path would obviously be infeasible.

With a ten-deaths-no-life outcome, they had no chance, nor any confidence to survive; the Tianwai strong ones are too strong, swallowing them in one gulp, they can't even resist, so how could they reach Tianwai?

That expanse of void represents danger, represents death.

The example of the Ten Thousand Poisons Demon King is right before our eyes.

Now that we've found a passage, if we don't go early, what if problems arise later? Wouldn't that be...?

Yin Gui Zhenren naturally wants to leave early; he doesn't want to waste time, nor does he want any mishaps.

Before parting, naturally I should say farewell to Chen Chuyang; at the same time, I also want to ask about the passage to ensure my own safety.

"Friend of the Dao, can that passage lead to Tianwai?"

Yin Gui Zhenren stared fixedly at Chen Chuyang, observing any of his expressions.

Chen Chuyang nodded slightly: "Naturally it can. That passage I originally didn't want to tell you lot; I wanted you to wait a while before going, after all, beyond the passage I can't guarantee where the transmission will send you, or whether there is danger."

"I was thinking that when the time comes I also want to go to Tianwai, and then we could venture out together; since you all can't wait, you could go ahead—how about you go together with His Excellency the White Deer King?"

Yin Gui Zhenren exclaimed in surprise: "You also want to go to Tianwai?"

"Naturally I want to go, but not now."

Chen Chuyang nodded slightly, without any concealment.

"'When?' Yin Gui Zhenren asked curiously."

"Naturally… it's not decided yet; I still have a few matters to handle on my end, and in the coming period I might be unavailable."

Yin Gui Zhenren, upon hearing this, remained silent.

After pondering for a long time, he then said: "If that's the case, then I will go to Tianwai together with His Excellency the White Deer King; I just don't know what our fate will be at that time."

The future, most dangerous.

Yin Gui Zhenren is not afraid; he had long since made up his mind, and after receiving Chen Chuyang's affirmation, he became even more determined to leave.

By then, it won't be just him leaving alone.

"'More people naturally means more helpers; Tianwai is different from this place, it's very dangerous.'"

"'His Excellency the White Deer King excels at preserving life and at avoiding misfortune; following him, we can avoid many dangers.'"

That's all there is to say.

Chen Chuyang has reminded him enough; if Yin Gui Zhenren still doesn't understand, that's his own misfortune.

Yin Gui Zhenren stepped back, bowed with clasped hands: "Thank you for the guidance."

Chen Chuyang smiled: "There are countless strong ones in Tianwai; I actually hope you, friend of the Dao, can survive—perhaps in the future we could meet in Tianwai."

"'Good, it's settled.' Yin Gui Zhenren bowed again."

He performed another great bow; Chen Chuyang wanted to dodge, but Yin Gui Zhenren said: "This great bow you can bear, friend of the Dao Chen Chuyang; over these years I have indeed held you in awe, and indeed more than once I have had thoughts about you; I apologize for my previous conduct."

"'Furthermore, I will shamelessly ask you, friend of the Dao, for a favor.'"

"'What matter? Friend of the Dao, just say it.' Chen Chuyang well understood his feelings; after all, his defying heaven had indeed affected many people, not just him—everyone stood in awe of him."

Not being envied by others is the mark of a mediocre talent.

"'After I leave, please, friend of the Dao, look after the Yin Gui Sect as much as possible.'"

Chen Chuyang immediately replied: "No problem."

Yin Gui Zhenren, like the White Deer King, worries for the sake of future generations.

The faction and the monster race both need protection; especially after they leave, with no one to back them up, who knows if there will be turmoil—no one can say for sure.

And Chen Chuyang—he can suppress everything, so naturally we should seek his help.

"'Thank you, friend of the Dao.' Yin Gui Zhenren felt ashamed, ashamed of his past actions."

Formerly, he judged a gentleman's heart with a petty mind—that was his mistake.

After Yin Gui Zhenren thanked him repeatedly, upon receiving Chen Chuyang's nod, he turned and left.

He still had matters to continue arranging; this affair isn't over yet.

The Yin Gui Sect needs a new sect master.

And for this sect master, within the faction only a scarce few could serve.

Those he cultivated have all died.

The newly recruited disciples lack both strength and resolve; for now they cannot serve as sect master.

He went to Wangdu.

The capital of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Outside Wangdu, Yin Gui Zhenren saw Zhuge Ruolan.

Zhuge Ruolan gazed solemnly at the sect master before her, her eyes unfriendly.

Li Shenghong stood beside Zhuge Ruolan, and others also stepped forward to confront Yin Gui Zhenren.

Yin Gui Zhenren pressed his hands down and spoke softly: "No need to be nervous; I came this time not to pick a fight."

Zhuge Ruolan naturally wouldn't give him a pleasant face, saying coldly: "Yin Gui Zhenren, there's nothing for us to talk about; please go back."

Yin Gui Zhenren didn't leave; instead, he calmly looked at Zhuge Ruolan before him.

"'Holy Maiden, you are the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect; this can never change—I need you, the Yin Gui Sect needs you.'"

Zhuge Ruolan gave a cold snort: "Hmph, Yin Gui Zhenren, you yourself don't even believe what you're saying."

Yin Gui Zhenren spread his hands and smiled: "I have decided; soon I will go to Tianwai. The Yin Gui Sect, I wish to pass on the legacy to you, letting you become the sect master of the Yin Gui Sect; from now on, the Yin Gui Sect will be under your leadership."

"'Those around you will also return to the Yin Gui Sect, and there will be no need to continue hiding.'"

Zhuge Ruolan, you don't think for yourself; you should also think for them.

I have come this time with sincerity, not to scheme against you; the Yin Gui Sect needs you, and you also need the Yin Gui Sect.

After saying that, Yin Gui Zhenren stared fixedly at Yin Gui Zhenren, not believing his words, nor believing he would be so kind.

Zhuge Ruolan does not trust him.

I cannot trust you.

Yin Gui Zhenren naturally knows her distrust, saying: "This matter, I have already spoken with Chen Chuyang; he will look after the Yin Gui Sect. Soon, I will lead a group of people together with His Excellency the White Deer King to go to Tianwai; life and death are uncertain, and afterwards I fear there will be no chance to return."

You need not worry; entrusting the Yin Gui Sect to you, I am still reassured.

Zhuge Ruolan's talent is strong, her strength is not low either; she is capable of controlling the Yin Gui Sect.

Furthermore, her brother Zhuge Gui is a Ghost King; the two siblings preside over the Yin Gui Sect, and for the next hundred years the Yin Gui Sect will have no problems.

The inheritance of the Yin Gui Sect cannot be broken; entrusting it to others, he is not reassured and also does not trust.

After much thought, in the end I still feel Zhuge Ruolan is the most suitable; first, she is the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, the Holy Maiden's status has always remained, and Yin Gui Zhenren has not stripped it away.

It is justified and proper.

The personnel inside the Yin Gui Sect will also have no objections; moreover, the people inside now are his people, those people are not strong in strength and are easy to control.
