Chapter 1042 Betrayal
"Wow."
After pinching Chen Xiao's body, Mu Gaofeng gently waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew through it, sweeping away all the traces.
Then, he stopped staying here and walked towards the distance with his body hunched over.
His movements looked very old and slow, but every step he took would appear strangely dozens of feet away, just like changing his shape and disappearing completely.
"Buzz--"
Just as Mu Gaofeng left, a slight wave suddenly appeared in the space in the distance, like ripples on the calm water surface.
Immediately afterwards, two figures of a man and a woman slowly appeared. The man was wearing a blue shirt and was elegant in temperament, as if he was a poet who walked out of ancient poetry and paintings, and his body exuded a faint bookish spirit. The woman was shrouded in a layer of moonlight, with noble and graceful temperament, and her every move was extraordinary.
"Senior brother, I never thought that the elder of Tian would really betray the Sword Sect." The Palace Master of the Moon Palace stared at the direction where Mu Gaofeng left, his eyes full of incredible expressions.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect sighed slightly and said, "It's not just you, how could I believe the scene in front of me..."
His eyes looked into the distance, with a hint of helplessness and emotion in his eyes.
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace continued to ask, "When did Senior Brother start to doubt him?"
The leader of the Sword Sect fell into memories and said slowly: "To be precise, it should be five years ago that Chen Xiao got the practice of "The True Sutra of Heaven and Earth". You should know that although this technique was created by a senior of our Sword Sect, even that senior was influenced by this volume of martial arts in his later years, he did not end up with a good ending. This technique contains a strange power. When practicing to a profound level, it is easy for people to lose their minds. Therefore, he should be more inclined to be evil.
He paused and continued to explain: "The reason why the later generations of our sect did not choose to destroy it is because they were grateful to this senior for his hard work. He hoped that the sect would give birth to a talented person in the future, and might be able to make up for the shortcomings in this technique. But even so, this volume of technique is not something that the disciples can contact at will, so it is stored in an isolated space in the Tianshu Pavilion."
"Regularly speaking, when Chen Xiao entered the Tianshu Pavilion five years ago, he shouldn't have contacted it. But he just picked this volume of martial arts. I realized at that time that this might be someone's secret guidance. When I saw Chen Xiao's choice, I also advised him, hoping that he could make careful considerations. However, Chen Xiao was very confident about this and was unwilling to change the martial arts. I felt even more strange in my heart, so I secretly noticed that this matter might be related to the elder Tianzi..."
"It was only then that I noticed the strangeness of this matter, but with the identity, qualifications and status of the Elder Tianzi, I did not doubt the disadvantages... I just thought that perhaps the Elder Tianzi had devoted himself to many years and had already improved the flaws of the "The True Sutra of Only Me in the Heaven and Earth", and in order to promote the younger generation, I would give Chen Xiao guidance."
"It seems that I, the master, are not cautious enough, indirectly led to Chen Xiao going astray and falling to this end today." The Sect Master of the Sword Sect closed his eyes slightly, and a hint of bitterness appeared in his expression, as if he was blaming himself for his negligence.
In any case, Chen Xiao has been taught by him for many years and has the title of a master and apprentice. If he has no feelings, it is obviously impossible.
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace also sighed and said, "It's not just senior brother, Chen Xiao, but also many of our senior officials of the Sword Sect have grown up. Even if they do something wrong, they will end up with a corpse without any corpse. Especially after losing their cultivation level, the skills he practiced have been dissipated. The signs he had shown in the hall before may really have a regret. Brother, why bother, insist on expelling him from the sect? Otherwise, he wouldn't..."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect shook his head and said firmly: "Junior sister, you are too kind. I have given him a chance. Before, in Feixue Hall, if Chen Xiao really had the courage to identify Elder Tian in person, I would save his life no matter what. But he, even though he knew that Mu Gaofeng's hidden danger might endanger the root of the entire sect, he still chose the latter in the face of the sect's righteousness and silence. How could he be said to be regretful? How could he be worthy of becoming a disciple of my Sword Sect?"
The Moon Palace Palace Master showed a sudden look and nodded, "Senior Brother is right. It seems that my nature is indeed too easily blinded by appearances. Just like Elder Tian, I still find it hard to believe that he would betray the Sword Sect! Senior Brother, what reason do you think he would do this?"
If we were to be based on seniority, the Sword Sect Master and others should call Mu Gaofeng the uncle, so everything we saw today did have a significant impact on the heart of the Palace Master of the Moon Palace.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect said: "With his seniority and status in the Sword Sect, what else can I ask for? I guess the only thing that can make him moved is those two words."
The Moon Palace Palace Master showed a thoughtful look, and then said, "Life extension? Could it be that the alien race mastered some way to extend his life, which made Mu Gaofeng willingly support them to drive them, and even betray the Sword Sect?"
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect nodded and said affirmatively: "It's a pity that he was too anxious, especially in Feixue Hall not long ago, when I wanted me to take over the decisive invitation from the Demon Sect Master, it was not in line with his character of making a decision and then moving. It made me even more sure that he should have a short time and urgently needed something to prolong his life, or that the alien race had completely lost patience, so that so many flaws were exposed."
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace was slightly silent, and then said, "In that battle five hundred years ago, Elder Tianzi Ten made a will to resist the Demon Sect and maintain the majesty of our sect, vowing to survive and die with the Sword Sect. After a bloody battle, five of them were buried forever. How righteous and tragic! Elder Mu Gaofeng was also seriously injured and paid a very tragic price. But why today, he..."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect said: "I also believe that at that time, he should have really put the interests of the sect above his own life. But time is enough to change everything. The same person, when he was young, was full of ambitions and spread his blood, but when he was old, he was stupid and mediocre, and was willing to fall into depravity. Are there still few examples in reality?"
"People, especially monks, have a lifespan that is far beyond ordinary people through cultivation, and are also facing more temptations and corruption. It is really too difficult to maintain their original intentions from beginning to end."
The words of the Sect Master of the Sword Sect were filled with emotion.
