"Patriarch, the statue in the main hall is speaking. Senior Brother Lin is asking you to go over and see who is speaking."
Mo Jingzhe, who was lying on the chair, felt the world around him. He had already felt peace, but he could not feel what was coming after.
"Calm down."
The Sect Leader's expression did not change. After spitting out those two words, he did not say anything else.
At the same time, he was mumbling to himself.
"I almost broke my state of mind. Calm down. Emptiness doesn't exist."
It was just that Mo Jingzhe's realm was a little low, and he hadn't reached the realm of the Sect Master yet.
"Patriarch, that's the statue of Emperor Yanhua. Is it possible that Emperor Yanhua is not dead and is back? Do we really not need to welcome him? "Mo Jingzhe asked.
Emperor Yanhua's importance in everyone's heart could not be erased.
Seeing how calm the patriarch was, Lin Fan could not stay calm anymore.
"Calm down."
The Grand Master did not do anything too extreme or jump up and down in excitement. Instead, he looked extremely calm. This made Mo Jingzhe feel as though the Grand Master was talking to the statue, as though he was not bothered by the appearance of Emperor Yanhua.
Mo Jingzhe did not say anything else. Since the patriarch had said so, what else could he say? He closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
As for what was happening in the main hall, Lin Fan did not care. It was not his business anyway. It was better for him to feel peace.
During this period of time, Lin Fan had gained a lot from following the patriarch. He felt that his life had changed a lot.
~ I still haven't found the true meaning of life in the past. ~
In the main hall.
The disciples looked at each other, remaining silent.
The stone statue that had been standing there for a long time spoke for the first time.
"Where's the patriarch?" Lin Fan asked.
No one answered.
Everyone looked at their Senior Brother. They wanted to see how he was going to solve this.
"Disciple, calm down. Don't go overboard." Tian Xu said softly. To be honest, he was still a little nervous. ~ This is Emperor Yanhua. In the past, he would be our ancestor. Even now, he has great influence on the older generation. ~
"Teacher, how could your disciple possibly know how to play? It's just that there's a problem with this situation. For the stone statue to speak, that means that there's a demon behind it. In your disciple's opinion, I think we should just destroy this stone statue."
"Hmm?" The moment Lin Fan said these words, the stone statue spoke up once more. However, this time around, it sounded a little strange, as though it was in disbelief.
Lin Fan's words had evidently frightened the other party.
"Forget it. I am Emperor Yanhua. Have you all forgotten me?" Originally, the stone statue had wanted to give a subtle reminder so that the disciples and grand-disciples would show expressions of surprise and excitement at the return of their backer.
He had already thought of all these.
However, he couldn't understand everything that had happened up until now.
What's going on?
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
What happened to the shock, the excitement, and the worship that they were supposed to feel?
Even now, she was playing riddles with him and pretending not to know who he was?
This made him a little angry.
"Of course not. How could I forget that Emperor Yanhua founded the Magnificent Flame Sect? But who are you?" Lin Fan asked, staring at the statue.
The stone statue was hard, but under the envelopment of this will, its face actually softened.
"I am Emperor Yanhua, the creator of the Magnificent Flame Sect." The stone statue's voice was calm and dignified. There was also a sense of pride and confidence hidden in it.
Needless to say, it must feel great to tell his juniors about his origin.
He was waiting for his juniors to cheer for his return, to shout for him.
However, the place was silent.
There were also some discussions that didn't sound that good.
"What? He's Emperor Yanhua? How did he turn into a stone statue? "
"There's a problem. Based on my many years of experience, Emperor Yanhua must have met with some trouble, and he needs our senior brother's help. Do you believe me?"
"Yes, of course. Our Senior Brother is so powerful. Even Emperor Yanhua would need help from others."
The sect disciples started to make all sorts of baseless guesses.
And towards the end of the discussion, it was as though it was real.
Emperor Yanhua's ears were sharp. Naturally, he could hear what the juniors were talking about. He couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha, you juniors really think too much. I'm not here to ask for your help. I'm here to see how you guys are doing."
He realized that the sect had changed a lot.
When he left, the Magnificent Flame Sect had changed drastically. Back then, the Magnificent Flame Sect was pitifully poor. Who would have thought that after a hundred years, there would be such changes? This was unbelievable.
The surrounding disciples didn't show any reaction to Emperor Yanhua's words.
Instead, he was still very shocked by what had just happened. He didn't dare to believe what he was seeing.
To them, Emperor Yanhua was a distant existence. They only knew that he was the creator of the Magnificent Flame Sect, but they didn't know much about him.
"Wait." Lin Fan raised his hand and smiled. "If you say that you're Emperor Yanhua, then you're Emperor Yanhua. Do you have any evidence to prove yourself?"
"Hmm? You're suspecting me? "The stone statue said.
"Disciple, how can I suspect you? He must be Emperor Yanhua." Tian Xu said.
"Junior, you have a good eye. You're much better than him." The stone statue laughed.
"Master, don't be fooled. People nowadays are evil. Furthermore, it's not logical for Emperor Yanhua to suddenly return at such a special time. Furthermore, our sect has records that Emperor Yanhua is already dead. How could he appear again?" Lin Fan said. "That's right.
"Junior, you're really smart. You might be thinking a lot, but you're still too young. You should stand at the side and listen to the person beside you." Emperor Yanhua obviously didn't take Lin Fan seriously.
To him, Lin Fan was obviously a capable disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, but his status wasn't too high.
Therefore, he didn't think much of it.
But what Lin Fan said next made him dumbfounded, or maybe he couldn't accept it.
"Disciple, what you said makes sense." Tian Xu thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"How is that possible? Do you think that I, the great Emperor Yanhua, would lie to you?" The stone statue could not hold it in any longer.
"You can't say that. Who knows if you're Emperor Yanhua or not? Let's change the topic. You have to prove that you're Emperor Yanhua first. "Lin Fan said.
He was basically sure that this was Emperor Yanhua.
But he wouldn't admit it at this moment.
After all, he didn't know what was going on with Emperor Yanhua, so he had to have a good chat with him.
It would be best if he could make Emperor Yanhua angry and say something.
The Magnificent Flame Sect can just wait to perish on its own.
If Lin Fan really said this, he would laugh out loud.
"Junior, could it be that you think I'm fake?" The stone statue said angrily. He was the one who created this place, and now a junior said that he didn't believe that he was Emperor Yanhua. This made him very unhappy.
"Yes, I do think that you're fake. If you want to prove that you're real, then please show me the evidence." Lin Fan said calmly.
No matter how violent the storm was, the expression on his face was always the same as when he entered the water, not a single wave was set off.
Silence.
It was very quiet.
No disciple spoke.
They weren't stupid. This was a confrontation between the new leader of the Magnificent Flame Sect and the older generation.
It didn't matter to them whether the stone statue was the Magnificent Flame Sect's leader or not.
Even if Emperor Yanhua came in person, they wouldn't be too shocked.
"Senior Brother Tian Xu ….." Huo Rong came to Tian Xu's side, wanting to ask how they should resolve this matter.
But Tian Xu shook his head, telling Huo Rong which side he should stand on.
Huo Rong knew what Tian Xu was thinking, but he didn't say anything.
He finally knew what Tian Xu was thinking.
Even though logically speaking, he shouldn't have done something like this, but his senior brother's actions right now were truly for Lin Fan's sake.
In other words, it was his precious disciple.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, a cold snort could be heard. "Where's the Magnificent Flame Sect's Patriarch? Come out and see me."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
When he called for the Patriarch, there was no movement. There wasn't even a sound.
The stone statue's face was soft, and it could show expressions. And now, the stone statue's expression was one of anger.
He was about to explode.
He didn't expect this to happen.
Even if it wasn't in person, it was still his will.
"Where's the Magnificent Flame Sect's Patriarch? Come out and see me." The stone statue shouted again. His voice could be heard throughout the sect.
Silence once again. There was no reply.
Just then, footsteps could be heard.
"This Patriarch doesn't care about worldly affairs anymore. Who's harassing me this time? Annoying." The Patriarch walked over from afar. He might be unhappy, but his expression was calm. He could let go of his obsession.
Or even everything.
"You're the Magnificent Flame Sect's Patriarch?" The stone statue asked.
"Yes." The Patriarch replied.
"I've been calling for you for so long. Are you dead?" The stone statue raged. He realized that the sect had changed. It was different from before.
In the past, as long as he spoke, no one would dare to disobey him. Even if they were far away, as long as they were an inner disciple, they would rush back.
But now, even after shouting for so long, no one responded.
"What you said is correct, but also incorrect. Although death and life are opposites, they do not conflict. Just as you said, I can be dead, but I can also be alive. Life or death, all these changes are in my heart."
"Just like you. I can see you as alive, but I can also see you as dead. There's no conflict."
The Patriarch raised his head and said calmly.
What he said was a little confusing. Lin Fan didn't understand.
"Master, has the Patriarch's brain been stimulated recently?" Lin Fan asked softly.
"Disciple, I'm not sure. It's just a rumor that the Patriarch has changed."
The two conversed softly.
This was the first time they heard the Patriarch speak.
And his words were different from before.
