Ouyang Ming sat in his office, sickly pale and breathing heavily. With his head in his hands, he fell asleep right at the table.
A Supre Expert with a Platinum Inner Strength Sutra simply couldn't look that bad. But Ouyang Ming is like an old tiger who suffered too many wounds when he was still a kitten..
What he could handle in his youth was now killing him.
Elder Qin, opening the office doors and seeing this, felt his heart clench with pain. The news I just received suddenly stopped being so joyful.
“Master,” he called quietly.
Ouyang Ming's shallow sleep was imdiately shattered.
“Brother Qin, is that you? What's happened? Again the vicious cults attack?”
Master Huashan woke up from his sleep with difficulty and rubbed his eyes like an ordinary old man..
After all, he had only recently turned fifty, but he was already completely gray and looked older than Qin, who was well past sixty.
«Even in his sleep he thinks about Huashan», “thought Qin, becoming even more gloomy. But clenching his fists he smiled and said:”
“I just received great news. Eagle Mountain has been saved and you won’t believe it by whom! Lin Yi is back!”
“W-what?” The Master's eyes opened wide, his body trembled. “And... Lin Yi is alive?..”
“Yeah, more alive than anyone else alive!”
“I can't believe it... am I not dreaming? Lin Yi is alive... Lin Yi is alive!”
Elder Qin was delighted that the old man ca to life right before his eyes.
For the first ti in these three years he smiled.
“Master, should I call Lin here imdiately?” asked Qin, smiling.
Ouyang Ming almost nodded, but suddenly rembered sothing and shook his head.:
“No, no, you can't call!”
“Why? Brother, your body can–”
The master raised his hand, interrupting him, and said:
“I'll die anyway, Qin. But Hengshan is not. Right now the army of the Holy Cult is coming towards them. This ti they will definitely be exterminated, unless a miracle happens. Well, a miracle happened. And we have no right to take it for ourselves. Linghu Feng has already gone to help with the order maintenance team, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to do it alone. Lin Yi on the other hand... can correct the situation and protect Mount Heng.”
“Master...” Qin muttered, wanting to try again to convince him.
But Ouyang Ming raised his hand again and said seriously:
“I've already decided, period. Brother Qin, whether I live to see Lin return or not, let the gods decide. But whether the Hengshan sect will survive is up to us to decide. At least now I don't have to worry about the future of Huashan.”
Elder Qin didn't know what to say. The master already gave too much for Huashan. If Lin Yi stays in Hengshan... it is unlikely that they will be able to see each other in this life...
For three years the Master did not see his only student. The man on whom I placed all my hopes.
Qin could only admire, despite his heart clenching with grief.
He loved his younger brother. But he also knew his character. If Ouyang Ming decides sothing, then it will be so.
After saying goodbye, Qin left the hall and imdiately sent a letter explaining the situation.
While he was sad, the entire Hua Mountain was shaking with joyful cries and laughter..
No one knew that the Sect Master was living his last days...
The sky is about to fall...
And only Elder Qin knew about this.
What kind of grief will this be for the disciples?.. All that was left was to pray that Ouyang Ming would last longer. There was nothing more he could do!
After all, he is just an expert at the peak of the first class. In a war it will be difficult for him to even defend himself...
.˙.
The dove flew into the sky and went southeast. He flew day and night, without stopping to rest and driving away any predators, thanks to thousands of years of selection and the inner strength shared by Elder Qin.
Han Bai caught it, untied the ssage, and imdiately read.
Imdiately turning gloomy, he said to Yu Hai:
“I'm afraid Brother Lin won't be with us for long. He was gone for three years, but he hadn’t been there even three days since he left, and he had to hurry.”
“What can you do now,” Yu Hai said after reading the ssage. “He helped us, Mount Heng also needs his help. We'll celebrate when we drive out the demons from the central Plains.”
“You are right. Let's go, let's give him a ssage.”
“Yeah...”
Three days have passed since Lin Yi returned to the fist world. Xiaoyu handed over all his duties at Eagle Mountain to the two of them, while he spent ti with his older brother, who missed him greatly.
He helped him with fencing, explained his inner strength, and simply talked about what happened to him during these three years.
While Xiaoyu recalled the days spent in the lower courtyard of Huashan.
Eight years passed in the blink of an eye.
They were sitting over cups of tea when Han Bai and Yu Hai rushed in, with very worried faces..
“Big brother.”
“What's the matter? Lin Yi beca serious.
“Elder Brother, Master ordered you to go to Mount Heng imdiately. They were attacked by the army of the Holy Cult and could be exterminated. Brother Linghu Feng also went to support, but the journey will take them a week and the Master is not sure that they will cope. Therefore, he wishes you to help Hengshan as soon as possible..”
Lin Yi beca gloomy. The question was very urgent, but there was sothing else I needed to know:
“How bad were things for Hengshan in these three years??”
“As far as possible. And not only them, the defense of all three sects fell almost at the sa mont as the vicious cults transferred their main troops to attack the Five Mountain Swords. Even Shaolin had to lock himself in a monastery, but how many supre experts do they have, and how many do we have? In three years, all the sects of the Alliance have suffered heavy losses, and Hengshan, I’m afraid, will now be razed to the ground if no one helps them.”
Han Bai spoke anxiously.
Lin Yi listened with a serious expression on his face..
History returned to the path from which he had been trying to lead it for so long. Once again the Alliance sects were in danger of destruction.
If just one mountain falls, then all Five Mountain Swords will fall apart. Their strength will drop too much and there will be no chance of rebirth..
Lin Yi had put so much effort into developing the five sects, he couldn't afford to take any of them away.!
But when he stood up, Xiaoyu suddenly stopped him.
“Anything else? asked Lin Yi.
Rubbing his nose, Xiaoyu looked away and said quietly:
“Senior Brother Lin, since you don't care about the route, could you please visit the Rain Fairy Yuluo in Mandala Village?”
“Fairy? What about her?” Lin Yi asked puzzledly, rembering the girl whose smile made his heart warr.
“She's fine! It’s just... three years ago, when you disappeared, she was completely broken, she even wanted to imdiately rush to take revenge on the Purple Dragon King. Obviously I thought I would die with you. The elders tied her up and returned her to Mandala village, but even along the way she broke free several tis and had to be caught again. Now she is under house arrest, and everyone is afraid that if the Fairy is released, she will go and kill herself. It's been like this for three years now...”
