As one of the top ten sects in the Star Dragon Federation, the Xuan Tian Sect was located on the Xuan Tian Peak in Star Dragon City. The Xuan Tian Peak was 7,600 meters high and pierced through the clouds. No matter where you were in Star Dragon City, as long as you looked up, you could see the Xuan Tian Peak.
At this time, on the top of the Xuan Tian Peak, a tall and thin figure stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. His clothes were fluttering in the wind. His deep eyes penetrated the clouds and overlooked the entire Star Dragon City. His expression was indifferent and cold.
Behind this man, an old figure stood respectfully to the side, not making a single sound.
"Senior Brother, you have been standing behind me for half a day. If you have something to say, just say it."
The man in a black robe slowly turned around and looked calmly at the old figure in front of him, waiting for the other party's response.
"Sect Master, I want to go down the mountain."
The old man called Annan spoke slowly. His voice was hoarse and low, as if he had not spoken for many years. It was a little harsh.
"Go down the mountain?
Why? "
The man in black looked at Annan with a subtle expression and asked, "Is it because you have been quiet for a long time and there are signs of a breakthrough?"
Annan had been in the Golden Core Realm for many years. If there were signs of a breakthrough, it would definitely be a big deal for the Xuan Tian Sect.
Annan was silent for a moment and then whispered, "No, I just miss my grandson."
Hearing Annan's answer, the man in black fell silent. After a long time, he sighed faintly and said to Annan, "All these years, I, Chen Xuanfeng, have wronged you and the dead Xin 'er."
"Sect Master, the past is the past. There is no need to mention it again."
Annan shook his head gently and said, "I have been in the Golden Core Realm for many years and have no hope of a breakthrough. Now, I just want to see my grandson again before I die. I hope Sect Master can agree."
When Chen Xuanfeng heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a sad expression. Back then, he and An Nan were the most outstanding disciples of the Blackheaven Sect. As the junior brother, he originally had no hope of succeeding the position of Sect Leader. However, because of a coincidence, he obtained an extremely precious Nascent Soul Fruit and cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage, becoming the second Nascent Soul Stage cultivator of the Blackheaven Sect. Therefore, he naturally became the successor of the Blackheaven Sect and married the daughter of the previous Sect Leader, Hong Ying. However, there were no feelings between him and Hong Ying. The woman he truly loved was An Nan's daughter, An Xiner.
That year, he was already 96 years old and An Xiner was only 17 years old.
He once vowed to protect An Xiner for a lifetime and not let her suffer the slightest grievance. Only then did Annan agree to marry An Xiner to him. But who would have thought that this happy marriage would only last for three years, and then it would be shattered.
"Senior Brother, I didn't protect Xin 'er well back then. I also didn't protect Changxing well."
Chen Xuanfeng looked at Annan sadly and said in a low voice, "To make it up to you, I will pass the position of Patriarch to Chang Xing and let Ao Chu assist him."
"That's not necessary."
Annan shook his head and said, "In order to maintain the stability of the sect, it's best to let Ao Chu succeed the position."
Now that the old Patriarch was still alive, Hong Ying was also in the Golden Core Realm, and Chen Aochu's performance was outstanding, no matter how one looked at it, Chen Changxing shouldn't succeed the position of Patriarch. If Chen Xuanfeng really wanted to push Chen Changxing to the position, the Blackheaven Sect would be in chaos!
"Maintain the stability of the sect?"
Chen Xuanfeng sneered. "If those people had the same resolve as you, Xin 'er wouldn't have died back then!
When they attacked Xin 'er, didn't they think that the sect would be in chaos because of it?! "
"That's because they knew me and knew that I would keep you in check."
Annan lowered his head. "If you really got angry back then, the Blackheaven Sect would have ceased to exist."
"They knew you, so they bullied you. Senior Brother, are you an honest person?"
Chen Xuanfeng's eyes reddened. "I'm a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, but I can't even protect the woman I love. I can't even get close to my son. I'm afraid that I'm the most useless Patriarch of the Blackheaven Sect!"
Annan fell silent and stopped talking. If he continued, he was afraid that something would happen.
Seeing that Annan was silent, Chen Xuanfeng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He said to Annan, "Senior Brother, if you want to go, then go."
"Thank you, Patriarch. I'll take my leave first."
Annan thanked Chen Xuanfeng and slowly left.
Looking at Annan's back, Chen Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, in private, just call me Junior Brother like before."
Annan's figure paused for a moment. He didn't respond to Chen Xuanfeng's words and gradually disappeared into the clouds.
…
The second round of the Six Great Schools' Revival Competition would be held on June 3rd at 9 a.m.
Before that, it would be the off-season.
During this period, reporters from various media outlets wanted to interview Qinchuan and the Blackmoon Combat Academy. However, they were all rejected. These reporters couldn't get the latest news and could only report some groundless news to pave the way for the revival competition.
During this period, Chen Changxing was also working hard on his cultivation. This was because in the revival competition, he would be fighting on the stage!
"Changxing, someone is looking for you outside."
Bluepool walked into the cultivation room and looked at Chen Changxing, who was sweating profusely. He said, "There's someone in the living room who claims to be your grandfather. I don't know him either. Go and take a look yourself."
Hearing Bluepool's words, Chen Changxing couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. He put down the equipment in his hands and quickly rushed to the living room. When he saw the old figure standing in the living room, he immediately cheered and ran over, jumping into the old man's arms.
"Grandpa!"
Annan looked at Chen Changxing, who was sweating profusely. When he saw the surprised smile on Chen Changxing's face, he couldn't help but reveal a smile on his old face. He said in a low voice, "My good grandson, Grandpa misses you."
"Grandpa, why are you suddenly here?"
Chen Changxing looked at Annan and asked curiously. He knew that the Blackheaven Sect's rules were strict. If there weren't any special circumstances, Annan shouldn't be allowed to leave the mountain.
"I came to see you this time to save you," Ye Zichen said.
Annan looked at Chen Changxing with kind eyes. The expression on his face was quite complicated.
"Save me?" Chen Changxing was stunned and puzzled. "I'm perfectly fine. Why would I need Grandpa to save me?"
"Don't go on the stage against the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities."
Annan reminded Chen Changxing, "When the time comes, if you must go on the stage, you'll lose no matter who you face."
Chen Changxing turned pale with fright and asked, "Why?"
"Because Grandpa wants you to live," Annan said helplessly.
"Hong Ying has high hopes for Chen Aochu. If the Blackmoon Combat Academy defeats the Blackheaven Sect's affiliated universities, the others will be fine. However, you will be in big trouble!"
