Elder Liu was the person who had previously hidden behind the scenes and directed the Devil Qi from the Sand Region to the South Heaven Region.
An Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster expert, another higher echelon expert of Broad Creed Mountain who had been corroded by the Nine Underworlds and the Decimating Abyss after Elder Wang.
After his identity had been exposed, he had immediately attempted to flee. However, in the end, he had still not been able to escape the clutches of Yan Zhaoge's father, Yan Di, as he had been captured and brought back.
When Yan Zhaoge saw him once more, while this old man's spirit was dispirited and listless, his gaze was arrogant and fearless as he just smiled coldly at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
This included the old Sect Yuan Zhengfeng as well as Fang Zhun and Shi Tie, all of them frowned as they looked at Elder Liu.
"Senior Martial Brother Wang's problem is his lifespan," Yuan Zhengfeng said slowly, "What about you, Junior Martial Brother Liu? What caused you to end up like this? "
Elder Liu turned to look at Yuan Zhengfeng and sized him up with a strange gaze.
After a while, Elder Liu said, "Senior Brother Yuan … I haven't called you that in a long time. Ever since you became the Sect Leader, I've been calling you Sect Leader."
Yuan Zhengfeng's expression did not change, but there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
In the outside world, every single descendant of Broad Creed Mountain was a Heaven's favoured son. For example, while Elder Liu was not a peak expert within Broad Creed Mountain, leaving Broad Creed Mountain, he would immediately be a hegemon level figure.
Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters outside of the six great Sacred Grounds were few and far between.
Being able to become an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster, Elder Liu was already an achievement that surpassed countless people.
However, there would always be a higher mountain. Even if they were all geniuses, there would always be a higher mountain. There were also differences in strength between them. For example, Yuan Zhengfeng and Xin Dongping were the most outstanding figures of their generation.
As for Elder Wang and Elder Liu, they were geniuses among geniuses. However, compared to Yuan Zhengfeng, he paled in comparison.
Elder Wang had joined earlier than Yuan Zhengfeng, while Elder Liu had joined later.
Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Yuan Zhengfeng seemed to see the image of the elegant young man who had asked him for advice on a difficult problem in martial arts.
However, Elder Liu continued to speak in a strange tone, "... Senior Brother Yuan, I've always found it strange. Aren't you worried at all? "
Yuan Zhengfeng's gaze hardened as he gazed at Elder Liu, while Elder Liu was also looking at him, "After becoming a Martial Saint, the power and position that will be brought about will not be mentioned for now. Dealing with the pressure of the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglei will also not be mentioned for now."
"Most importantly, Senior Brother Yuan, your lifespan is about to run out because of your old injuries, right?" Elder Liu chuckled and said, "Although you are a Transcendent Martial Grandmaster, your lifespan is shorter than other Transcendent Martial Grandmasters. How much lifespan do you have left? How about ten years? If it's ten years, what about twenty? "
Yuan Zhengfeng's gaze turned calm as he looked calmly at Elder Liu, saying candidly, "If I were to estimate it myself, if I don't step into the Martial Saint realm, it should be around ten to fifteen years."
Elder Liu's expression was a little sorrowful, "Right, I also only have around ten years left at most."
"A few years ago, chatting with Senior Brother Wang, he mentioned that his lifespan might already be less than ten years."
"It is true that his cultivation base is higher than mine, but he is also much older than me. But he's also much older than me. Now, he doesn't have many years left. "
Elder Liu looked at Yuan Zhengfeng, "Senior Brother Yuan, watching yourself step by step towards the end of your lifespan just like this. How do you feel in your heart? "
Yuan Zhengfeng asked mildly, "Is this the reason?"
Elder Liu said, "Let me face sabres and swords, let me battle with other martial practitioners, I will not fear it. Even if the enemy is stronger than me, even if the chances are small, I will still have the chance to struggle. While it is rare for the weak to defeat the strong, it is not impossible. "
"Until the final moment, victory and defeat are still unknown!"
Elder Liu's expression turned cold, "However, my current opponent is the heavens!"
"Having worked so hard till now, I can already see clearly that under normal circumstances, there is already no hope for me to advance any further in my cultivation base."
"In this battle for longevity against the heavens, I am unable to win. I have already lost, with no chance of victory at all!"
Looking at Yuan Zhengfeng, Elder Liu laughed bitterly, "Senior Brother Yuan, your old injuries prevent you from having sufficient confidence in breaking through into the Martial Saint realm. However, that is because you are our clan's Chief, Broad Creed Mountain's current strongest expert. Surrounded by powerful enemies in the outside world, you do not dare to take the risk lightly, because if any mishap occurs, Broad Creed Mountain might collapse."
"However, you at least have hope. You can go all out, have the possibility of winning. Just like in battle with a powerful enemy, you can be killed by the enemy, but you can also defeat the enemy."
"What about me and Senior Brother Wang? We can only quietly wait for death! "
Elder Liu said hoarsely, "Death originally wasn't scary, but having no hope at all, watching it approach bit by bit, yet everything I do is futile. Things that originally weren't scary also gradually became boundless terror, enveloping one's heart."
Yuan Zhengfeng looked straight at him, "Therefore, joining the Nine Underworlds resolved your problem?"
Elder Liu chuckled strangely, "Even Martial Saints have a limit to their longevity, while true Nine Underworlds Evil Devils are undying and inextinguishable existences!"
Yan Di said mildly, "In the Earth Domain, I once killed Nine Underworlds Evil Devils that had occasionally appeared."
The smile on Elder Liu's face was very mocking, "I don't know if those you killed were truly pure Nine Underworlds Evil Devils, but if they were, do you think you really killed them?"
"True Nine Underworlds Evil Devils, even if they are destroyed, will be reborn in the depths of the Nine Underworlds, because devils are undying and inextinguishable."
Elder Liu pointed at his heart, smiling strangely, "As long as the obsessions, evil thoughts and desires of the human heart are not extinguished, devils will never perish. Not just humans, as long as there are living beings that still have their desires and obsessions in this world, even if devils are destroyed for a time, they will still be able to be reborn in the end."
Yan Zhaoge had always been listening quietly by the side, not interrupting. Now, he suddenly laughed, "Then do you know that when devils are destroyed and reborn, it is actually equivalent to a completely new existence? If you place your hopes on this, obtaining eternal life, do you think that would still be you?"
Glancing at Yan Zhaoge rather hatefully, Elder Liu snorted coldly, "You are not an Evil Devil, also not having been to the Nine Underworlds before. What are you boasting about?"
Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, "Alright, let's not discuss such a complicated issue for now. Let's talk about something simple and crude."
"Elder Liu, since you know about devils being reborn after being destroyed, you should also know that not all devils can be reborn. The so-called true Nine Underworlds Evil Devils are related to their level of power."
Looking at Elder Liu, Yan Zhaoge said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "With your current cultivation base, having fallen to the dark side, it still does not reach the standard for rebirth."
Flames of fury arose within Elder Liu's eyes as he glared hatefully at Yan Zhaoge, panting heavily, "The increase in strength brought about by falling to the dark side will allow me to break through the bottleneck that I have always been stuck at, successfully ascending to the next level, obtaining even more longevity, advancing towards a higher level!"
"Very soon, I will obtain the chance to attain eternal life. As for you, even if you become Martial Saints, so what?"
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Oh, that's a pity. You no longer have that chance now."
