Chapter 173: Lamp Extinguished

"Father... Father..."

"Old thing, come out!"

"Your son is looking for you!"

Wuwei shouted everywhere in the palace.

However, there was no echo.

He even ran to the back of the Divine Hall to check if the old man was in the spiritual plant garden.

No!

In the spiritual plant garden, the originally lush trees had long since withered, leaving only bare trunks.

"Where did the old man go?" Wuwei's eyes widened as he looked at He Pingsheng.

Everyone else looked at He Pingsheng too.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath. He knew this matter couldn't be hidden anymore, so he could only nod and say: "Fine, I can tell you... however, irrelevant people must leave first!"

There were six people in this room.

Besides He Pingsheng, there were Wuwei, Chongyang, Jianzhu, Elder Yu Xuan, and the outsider in purple Daoist robes.

He Pingsheng's meaning was also very clear.

Wuwei bowed to the Daoist and said: "Sir, please leave first, we need to handle some internal affairs, and Wuwei will not be short of a single item promised to you!"

"Very well!" The purple-robed Daoist nodded and left the main hall directly.

Now, only their own people were left in the main hall.

Besides He Pingsheng, the rest were all Golden Core stage.

"Good, can you say it now?" Wuwei's gaze narrowed, staring at He Pingsheng.

He was afraid he would run away.

He Pingsheng said: "Although Master said in front of everyone back then that he knew his fate and had sixty years of lifespan left, in reality, he has indeed ascended!"

"Great..." Before He Pingsheng could finish speaking, Wuwei said excitedly: "The old thing did say he had sixty years of lifespan left, but he has ascended now. Did you kill him?"

He Pingsheng had an expression of looking at an idiot: "Wang Shixiong, do you think I, a first-layer Foundation Establishment, could kill a Nascent Soul?"

"This..." Chongyang also followed: "Wang Shixiong is joking, let alone Junior Brother, what could you or I do to Master?"

Nascent Soul is Nascent Soul after all, even if this Nascent Soul is on the verge of death!

"Junior Brother, continue!" Jianzhu also felt that He Pingsheng killing the old man was not very reliable.

He Pingsheng nodded and continued slowly: "The so-called knowing fate and sixty years of lifespan were actually lies to us... to be precise, lies to you all!"

Wuwei said: "Lies to us?"

"That's right!" He Pingsheng said: "Not only lies to you, but also lies to the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect... Master's real lifespan was actually already up at that time!"

"The reason he lied to us and said there was sixty years of lifespan left was to buy sixty years of time for the Tai Xu Men!"

"Hoping that within these sixty years, the Tai Xu Men could cultivate a Nascent

He Pingsheng said, "This is the whole truth. Believe it if you want, don't if you don't!"

"Fine!" Wuwei said, "Then, by that logic, the orders issued in the Biyun Laozu's name over these past two years were actually your own intentions, weren't they?"

Wuwei was aggressive.

He Pingsheng nodded and said, "Yes... I only issued one order in the Biyun Laozu's name, which was to promote Master Yu Ning and Elder Yu Xuan to the position of Elder. Wang Shixiong, I don't think there is anything improper about that!"

The sect happened to have two vacant Elder positions, and there happened to be two Golden Core cultivators to fill them; only these two Golden Core cultivators could fill them.

Therefore, Wuwei couldn't really find any fault with it.

"Hehehe... Junior Brother, what you said is not quite right!" Jianzhu suddenly spoke up. She said, "I heard that the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect has a technique for 【Qi-Gazing】 that is extremely heaven-defying. If the Biyun Laozu had passed away, how could they not know, and how could they sit idly by?"

"Is there some other hidden story behind this matter?"

Since this matter could no longer be hidden, He Pingsheng simply told it all in one breath.

It was already at this point; whether he said it or not made no difference anymore.

He raised his hand, pointed to a golden lamp on the high platform in the main hall, and said, "Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, do you see this golden lamp?"

Everyone nodded.

"This is the Golden Lamp of Qi Luck!" He Pingsheng said, "Before Master passed away, he transformed his entire life's blood, Qi luck, and Nascent Soul into lamp oil and fused it into this golden lamp."

"This golden lamp can burn for sixty years!"

"And while this golden lamp is burning, it will continuously emit Master's own aura to obscure the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect's Qi-Gazing technique!"

"Therefore, as long as we don't spread the news that the Biyun Laozu has fallen, the people of the Beast-Taming Immortal Sect cannot possibly know the news that the Biyun Laozu has fallen!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and shocked.

They didn't expect that even when Master was dying, he was still thinking about the entire sect.

A trace of respect for Master suddenly rose in everyone's hearts again, with Wuwei being the only exception.

Wuwei glared viciously at He Pingsheng, "Junior Brother, let me ask you, before my father died, did he pass that 【Great Profound Scripture of Tai Xu】 to you?"

Swish...

The others also turned their gazes over.

The Great Profound Scripture of Tai Xu was the supreme inheritance of the Tai Xu Men.

Countless people coveted it.

Although they might not necessarily be able to cultivate it.

"Wang Shixiong..." He Pingsheng was quite calm and asked, "Do you know why I ran away that time?"

Wuwei said, "How could I possibly know?"

He Pingsheng said, "I have a Five-Element Linggen... I was afraid, afraid that the old man would pass this Great Profound Scripture of Tai Xu to you, and then you would kill me and fuse my Linggen!"

"Don't you dare say you never had such thoughts!"

He Pingsheng looked at Wuwei calmly.

Wuwei said, "And then?"

He Pingsheng said, "Then I was caught by Master. He promised me that this Great Profound Scripture of Tai Xu was too harmful to heaven's harmony, so he prepared to take this cultivation technique with him when he died, so it would no longer circulate in the world!"

"Therefore, I did not obtain the Great Profound Scripture!"

"Also, if Master had really passed the Great Profound Scripture to me, do you think I would still be waiting here for you to make trouble after he passed away?"

"No..." Before Wuwei could answer, He Pingsheng answered his own question, saying, "I would have run away long ago; wouldn't it be better to just find a place to hide?"

"Therefore, I really didn't obtain any Great Profound Scripture!"

Hearing He Pingsheng say this, Wuwei already believed him seven or eight parts. He cursed and swore while looking at the golden lamp: "You damn old thing, you're already dead, and you still didn't pass the cultivation technique to me?"

"Do you think you've treated me fairly?"

"Do you think you've treated my mother fairly?"

"You deserve to die..."

"If I'm dead, don't think you'll have it easy either!"

"Let it be destroyed... let it all be destroyed... Hahaha... what Tai Xu Men, what foundation!"

"It's all bullshit!"

Boom...

Wuwei took the opportunity to throw a punch, fiercely striking toward the golden lamp.

This punch was so sudden that others couldn't stop it in time!

Bang, the golden lamp was immediately knocked to the ground, and the lamp oil inside spilled everywhere.

"Oh no..." Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

But at this moment, the golden lamp's flame suddenly rose, the lamp oil spilled on the ground burned violently, and the entire main hall was engulfed in soaring flames.
