Chapter 1134

White clouds turned into immortal mist, floating, and dozens of mountain peaks like sharp swords stood upon these white clouds.

Shu-shu-shu...

Streams of light of various colors swept past the mountain peaks and white clouds, all heading toward the final Gathering Phoenix Peak.

Most of these people were of Earth Immortal cultivation.

The crowd fell like rain, splashing onto the square before the Red Lotus Immortal Palace of Gathering Phoenix Peak.

The dark, heavy main doors of the great hall opened.

Lu Xiaoci brought He Pingsheng out from the great hall together.

"He..."

"He Pingsheng?"

"Hiss... it's him..."

"He's back?"

Upon seeing He Pingsheng, everyone was stunned.

Although He Pingsheng had been obscure in the sect before, after leaving the sect over fifty years ago to participate in the Grand Competition in Qiankun Immortal City, his fame became widespread.

Joking, he took first place in the entire Qiankun Immortal City Grand Competition.

What weight is that?

At that time, the entire sect was shocked.

For this, Ancestor Red Lotus even organized a grand celebration ceremony back then!

As for the later pursuit by White Cloud Immortal Sect and Kunwu Mountain, everyone is well aware.

Now seeing He Pingsheng alive and returned here, everyone's shocked expressions are quite normal.

"Wuu-wuu-wuu..." Seeing the crowd, Lu Xiaoci first sobbed twice, then said: "All my uncles, all my senior brothers and sisters, please come in!"

"Ancestor... the Ancestor has returned!"

"Wuu-wuu-wuu... the Ancestor has passed away!"

"Wuu-wuu-wuu..."

After saying this, Lu Xiaoci collapsed weakly to the ground.

While everyone was startled, they rushed forward and entered the Red Lotus Immortal Palace.

"Ancestor!"

"Master!"

"Teacher!"

"Forefather..."

"Wuu-wuu-wuu..."

Instantly, the entire hall filled with weeping.

Su Nian walked over, pulling each weeping person up one by one, saying: "The Master was forced by Bai Yun Yun to perform this 【Heaven and Earth Longevity】 immortal art, her lifespan was already destined!"

"Fortunately, before her passing this time, she still saved He Pingsheng!"

"It's this brat He Pingsheng, who, while evading the pursuit of the two sects, brought the Master's corpse back to the sect!"

"My disciple has done great service!"

Everyone stopped crying one by one, all looking toward He Pingsheng.

An old man with white hair and a flowery white beard stepped forward, asking: "He brat, did you bring the sect master's Dharma body here?"

"I ask you, when the sect master fell, did he tell you anything important, any last words or relics?"

Swish...

The crowd's gaze again focused on He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng knew this old fogey seemed to ask about last words and relics, but was actually asking about inheritance.

What everyone cares most about is probably still the sect master's position?

"Cough-cough-cough..." Before He Pingsheng could answer, Su Nian beside him said: "He Pingsheng, this is your grandmaster uncle 【Dongfeng Daoist】, he is the elder brother of your grandmaster Ancestor Red Lotus!"

"At the same time, he is currently one of the three Heavenly Immortals of Red Lotus Immortal Valley!"

He Pingsheng instantly understood this person's status in Red Lotus Immortal Valley.

"He Pingsheng pays respects to grandmaster uncle!" He Pingsheng hurriedly bowed.

First, regardless of this grandmaster uncle's temperament, morals, and ethics, getting the etiquette right is never wrong.

"Hmph!" Dongfeng Daoist nodded: "You brat don't need to be polite with me, you should know what I mean, how the sect master passed, and what she said and did before leaving?"

"Tell me everything truthfully!"

"Alright!" He Pingsheng began from when he was intercepted by three Heavenly Immortals of White Cloud Immortal Sect and Kunwu Mountain, nearly losing his life.

Speaking of Red Lotus saving his life, then her passing, and her last words.

Except for not mentioning the Ancestor's marriage arrangement, he basically said everything else.

"He Pingsheng!" That Dongfeng Daoist coldly stared at him: "Are you sure what you're saying is all true?"

"You brat didn't lie, did you?"

"Did your junior sister really pass the sect master's position to Lu Xiaoci?"

Dongfeng is somewhat dissatisfied.

He Pingsheng bowed: "Grandmaster uncle, it really is like this, this junior dare not speak nonsense!"

"Hmph!" Dongfeng Daoist said: "How would I know you don't dare speak nonsense?"

"You wouldn't be saying this because you're close to Lu Xiaoci, or because you want to curry favor with her, or perhaps want to win her beauty, so you deliberately said my junior sister passed the sect master's position to her, would you?"

"Yeah!" As Dongfeng Daoist's words fell, a female cultivator stepped forward, saying: "He Pingsheng, Ancestor so wise a person, how could she make such a muddled decision?"

"Now is a matter of life and death for the entire sect—how could such an important position be given to a mere Earth Immortal first layer like Lu Xiaoci?"

"I think Elder Dongfeng would be more suitable to serve as sect master!"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"I think so too!"

Many people echoed.

He Pingsheng smiled and said, "Who becomes sect master has nothing to do with me—I merely brought the old ancestor's words here unchanged!"

"As for the rest, don't ask me!"

Dongfeng said: "He Pingsheng, are you sure you brought it unchanged, with no concealment, no lies?"

"How about this—you make a heavenly oath, otherwise we won't believe you!"

He Pingsheng's face darkened instantly.

Swear an oath?

Swear a damn hairball!

I damn well concealed something!

I concealed the old ancestor's marriage arrangement for me!

"What the old ancestor told me, I indeed concealed!" He Pingsheng had to admit: "But this concealed part has nothing to do with any of you—it concerns only myself!"

"So I cannot swear!"

"Hmph!" someone said: "In my view, you're just faking an imperial decree!"

"He Pingsheng... I know you're a peerless heaven's pride, and we can't afford to offend you, but this matter is so simple—why must you make it so complicated?"

"We're all immortals—you've reached Earth Immortal stage now; a slight display of your abilities could reconstruct the scene back then—why go through all this trouble?"

"Exactly, exactly!" the woman from before also said: "Just use a little immortal technique to project the old ancestor's last words—done!"

The crowd surged forward aggressively, all pressing He Pingsheng to produce that image.

For an immortal, this is not difficult.

He Pingsheng gave a bitter smile twice and said: "Alright... since you won't believe me, then look!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the image of the old ancestor before his death began to play.

After watching, everyone fell silent.

What He Pingsheng said was not wrong.

Everyone also now knows what He Pingsheng concealed!

Lu Xiaoci stared deeply at He Pingsheng, who bowed his hands to her: "Sorry, Qiao Shijie Lu... I already had a Dao Companion in the Spirit Realm, so I fear I cannot fulfill the old ancestor's final entrustment!"

"But... I promised the old ancestor I'd help you destroy those two sects—this is no problem!"

Lu Xiaoci's fair-skinned face showed a hint of a smile: "It's fine!"

"I never even thought about male-female matters!"

Su Nian said: "Alright, now the old ancestor's meaning is clear, the position is set—Lu Xiaoci as the new sect master!"

"If you all agree, then perform the rites!"

"If not, please leave the Red Lotus Immortal Valley at once!"
