The night was dark, and in the quiet courtyard.
Ye Chen's expression remained the same. He watched quietly as the Grand Preceptor, Qi Tiandao, cast a spell to deduce Su Yuhan's whereabouts.
As the latter formed a hand seal with both hands, two balls of fire appeared in his eyes. The fire was blazing and seemed to be about to burst out.
At that moment, the vitality in the latter's body faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. More and more wrinkles appeared on his face as if they were being absorbed by the flames in his eyes.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. He did not expect the other party to be willing to burn his vitality for him.
Just as he was about to stop him, he heard the latter say, "Fellow Ye, you don't have to worry about me. I don't have much time left, and I can die without regrets if I can help you with my broken body."
With that, Qi Tiandao slowly closed his eyes.
This spell was called the Reincarnation Dream Technique. It was a technique passed down by his master. Cultivators could only use it twice in their lives, and each time they used it, it would consume a lot of vitality and lifespan.
The first time was after the death of the late emperor of the Grand Dynasty. He had used it to find a way out for the dynasty.
Ye Chen's appearance had proven his divinity.
The second time he used it was to help Ye Chen find Su Yuhan.
As the vitality in his body dissipated, Qi Tiandao's consciousness was extremely clear. His mind was empty.
Vaguely, he seemed to have seen the world through the chaos, the entire northern region, and even the other realms, such as the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Region, the Western Desert, and the Central State.
However, to his disappointment!
He could not find it!
He could not find the person who deduced it at all!
His body was trembling!
His mind was aching!
It was a sign that he had reached his limit!
He roared furiously and forcefully held on to his consciousness, trying his best to find that person again.
Suddenly, an eye appeared in his line of sight. The eye was originally closed, as if a person was asleep.
However, at that moment.
The eye suddenly opened and met his gaze.
Just that one glance!
Qi Tiandao's heart trembled violently!
Blergh …
He spat a mouthful of blood and staggered to the ground. His face was filled with shock, "Eye, Forbidden Eye! “
Ye Chen took a step forward immediately and patted his shoulder. He channeled some spiritual energy into his body and said, "How is it?"
"I saw an eye!"
Qi Tian Dao took a deep breath and said in shock, "It's that eye that hid the secrets of heaven, it's it, it's it that blinded everything!!!"
"Eye?"
Ye Chen squinted.
"That eye is too terrifying. It only glanced at me once, and I was almost scared out of my wits."
"Don't talk. Take this medicinal pill …" Ye Chen flicked his finger, and a Chijing Pill landed in his hand immediately.
After Qi Tiandao swallowed it, he recovered a trace of vitality. Then, he looked at Ye Chen. "Fellow Ye, listen to my advice and give up."
"Why?" Ye Chen asked.
Qi Tiandao said with lingering fear, "I saw a great omen from it. I saw blood flowing like a river. If you continue to search, you will only harm yourself."
Ye Chen remained expressionless. "What's the shape of that eye?"
"It's like a ghost's eye floating between heaven and earth, empty and emotionless …" Qi Tian Dao tried his best to recall.
Ye Chen's eyes turned cold when he heard that. He secretly scoffed, 'Seems like someone used a great divinity to hide Yuhan's whereabouts!'
Thinking to this point, the killing intent in his heart that he had finally calmed down surged again, "I don't care who you are. As long as you dare to touch my woman, I'll destroy you even if I have to go to heaven or hell!"
After saying that, he suppressed his killing intent and looked at Qi Tiandao, "You've paid such a huge price for me. Do you have anything in mind?"
The latter coughed violently a few times before saying, "I don't have anything in mind, but I want to find a pillar for the future of my sect!"
At this point, he sighed, "I've protected the sect for a thousand years. Before I die, the last thing I want to see is the sect destroyed after I leave …"
"So, you're saying you want me to protect the dynasty?" Ye Chen frowned and shook his head, "If that's really the case, I can't do it."
"Why?" Qi Tiandao smiled bitterly.
"I won't stay in the dynasty!"
Ye Chen said calmly, "You know that I'm here to look for my wife. I'll leave once I find her."
As soon as he said that, Qi Tiandao fell silent. After a while, he said, "Fellow Ye, can you protect my dynasty for a year?"
"As long as the time is up, the new emperor will become an adult. By then, he will have the ability to face things independently!"
He looked at Ye Chen pleadingly, "Within a year, the sect won't restrict your freedom. You just need to be able to help at the most critical moment."
"A year?"
Ye Chen seemed to be hesitating.
Upon seeing that, Qi Tiandao said again, "Don't worry. Within a year, the dynasty will share half of the spirit stones with you. You'll be on equal footing with the new emperor. You can even use the power of the entire imperial court!"
"Three months!"
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and said calmly, "I can only protect your dynasty for three months at most. During this period, I'll wish your sect the best."
"Fine, three months it is!"
Qi Tiandao sighed softly. Then, he stood up and bowed to Ye Chen solemnly, "I'll be troubling you for the next three months, Fellow Ye!"
"Your life force has been exhausted, and your time has come! “
Ye Chen looked at him quietly. "It seems like you've consumed the medicine in the Life Origin Pill. I'm afraid you have less than half a month left to live."
Previously, when he probed the other party's body with his spiritual power, he had a good understanding of the other party's condition.
The Essence Longevity Pill could only be used three times in a person's life. After that, it would no longer have any effect.
The former had obviously done it more than three times.
"Half a month is enough …"
Qi Tiandao smiled calmly. "With your promise, even if I die now, I won't have any regrets."
His eyes were filled with relief!
He had protected the sect for a thousand years!
In the past thousand years, he had never married a woman and had never left behind a child. Even this disciple of his, Xue Ying, was only recently accepted.
It could be said that before this, what he could not let go of the most was the sect. Now that Ye Chen had appeared, he saw hope for the sect's future.
It could be considered as an explanation to the past emperors.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the residence where Ye Chen was. It seemed like someone was shouting.
The two of them appeared on the huge street in a flash. They saw a horse galloping on the street. However, the horse's mouth was foaming. It was obvious that it was exhausted.
Countless commoners gathered around.
On the horse, a man lay weakly on the horse's back. His lips moved slightly as if he was trying to say something.
Plop …
The horse fell to the ground, panting heavily as it flung the man off its back.
Qi Tiandao waved his sleeve and helped the man up. Then, he asked, "What happened?"
"Grand … Grand Preceptor!"
The man said intermittently, "Rebellion, the Eight Kings have rebelled. The five states and thirteen counties have gathered a million troops. They split into five groups and broke through ten passes in a row, attacking the capital …"
