Chapter 65 If You're Going to Be Someone, Be a Cult Leader
Chapter 65 If You're Going to Be Someone, Be a Cult Leader
The group passed through the hole and entered the forbidden area.
When Chen Yuan pointed to the skeleton sitting on the stone bed, he said that this was Yang Dingtian.
The expressions on Yin Tianzheng's and Wei Yixiao's faces froze at the same time.
Although I was mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept when the guess was confirmed.
The two remained silent for a long while before letting out a long sigh in unison, their sighs filled with a sense of desolation at the loss of what they had become.
"This...is this really the leader of the Yang Cult?"
"otherwise?"
Chen Yuan pointed to another skeleton beside the stone bed and said.
"This is still Yang Dingtian's wife."
He walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and recounted the truth about Yang Dingtian's death once again.
Yin Tianzheng and Wei Yixiao were naturally both surprised and horrified.
Chen Yuan revealed a satisfied expression, glancing sideways at the Fire-Worker Monk and Zhang Wuji.
That's the correct response.
Unlike those two guys, they're boring.
"No wonder I always felt that the Ming Cult had been targeted all these years."
Wei Yixiao gritted his teeth and said.
"So it was that bastard Cheng Kun who was behind this."
Yin Tianzheng let out a long sigh.
"The leader of a cult, a hero of his generation, has come to such an end."
He turned his gaze to Chen Yuan, and solemnly clasped his hands and bowed.
"Thank you, Young Hero Chen, for letting us know the truth and find the cult leader's remains."
Wei Yixiao snapped out of his anger and suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking at Chen Yuan suspiciously.
"That doesn't make sense. Judging from your age, you were just a child twenty years ago. How could you possibly know such a secret?"
"Then just leave it alone."
Chen Yuan had a completely calm and collected expression.
"I know more than you think, for example, you don't drink human blood at all."
"If I really couldn't resist, I'd rather use chicken blood or pig blood, or even bite my own wrist to bleed, than actually harm an innocent person, right?"
Wei Yixiao: (º﹃º)
"How...how did you know?!"
He suddenly turned his head and stared at Yin Tianzheng suspiciously.
Not many people know this news, except for that old devil Yin Tianzheng.
Yin Tianzheng: "..."
He gave a cold snort, clearly annoyed.
"Why are you looking at me? I only met Young Master Chen today."
"hateful."
Wei Yixiao muttered sullenly.
"If I find out who has ruined my reputation, I will make sure they don't get away with it!"
Yin Tianzheng looked around the forbidden area, a puzzled expression on his face.
"Young Master Chen, you said you found the Great Shift of the Universe manual here, so why haven't I seen it?"
"Oh~"
Chen Yuan pointed to the small pebbles piled up at the six entrances to the passageway and said.
"That's all."
Yin Tianzheng: ? ?
Chen Yuan explained with a cautious expression on his face.
"The original cultivation method was engraved on six stone slabs."
"I wrote it down, and then destroyed it."
"After all, you know it's not safe to keep something this valuable in such a big place."
"I used a knife to chop all the stones into pieces."
He had a "you're welcome" expression on his face.
Yin Tianzheng: "..."
His lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
So, you should thank them?
However, on second thought, if the other party had selfish motives, he could simply take the manual and leave quietly.
Yin Tianzheng will never know what happens inside the forbidden area.
Wei Yixiao's focus is always different from others.
He squatted down next to a pile of rubble, picked up a piece of stone with unusually smooth edges, and marveled at it.
"The Heaven Sword is actually this sharp?"
"Wow, it's as easy as slicing tofu."
Chen Yuan neither confirmed nor denied Wei Yixiao's speculation, and changed the subject.
"Can you help me find a teacher now?"
Yin Tianzheng looked troubled and smiled wryly.
"Young Master Chen, you heard what he said just now."
"None of us in the Ming Cult understand Persian, and besides..."
He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth is our sect's most treasured skill; according to the sect's rules, only the sect leader can learn it..."
"That's easy."
Chen Yuan said casually.
"According to the religious rules, it is forbidden for anyone other than the religious leader to learn it, which naturally means that the followers cannot learn it."
"But I'm not a member of your Ming Cult, so you can't control me. Of course, I can learn it."
"And I know..."
"Got it!"
Wei Yixiao suddenly clapped his hands, his expression excited.
"Young Master Chen, why don't you just join our Ming Cult?"
"We're all on the same side now, so things are easier to discuss, aren't they?"
To be fair, Chen Yuan's style of doing things was quite to his liking.
Yin Tianzheng frowned.
"Vampire bat, don't do anything reckless!"
"Who's causing trouble?"
Wei Yixiao spoke with conviction.
"Didn't you hear what Young Master Chen said?"
"Ten years ago, Master Yang met him in the Jiangnan region and even wanted to take him as his disciple."
"Isn't this all about finding an heir?"
Yin Tianzheng: "..."
Chen Yuan said that Yang Dingtian had been dead for more than 20 years, so the story from ten years ago must be fake. Why is this guy bringing it up again?
Wei Yixiao ignored him and raised an eyebrow to look at Chen Yuan.
What do you think?
Chen Yuan smiled.
"Isn't this just a coincidence?"
"I not only want to join the Ming Cult, I want to be its leader!"
Wei Yixiao: "..."
He felt like he'd suddenly come up with a bad idea.
"Is...is this okay?"
"It's alright, I think it suits me perfectly."
Wei Yixiao: "..."
He quietly pulled Yin Tianzheng aside to discuss the matter.
Judging from Wei Yixiao's hunched back and worried expression during their conversation, it was clear that things weren't going well.
Sure enough, when Wei Yixiao returned, he had an awkward but polite smirk on his face.
"Young Master Chen, can we just disregard what I just said? Let's just say I was joking."
This time, Chen Yuan did not insist.
If he wants to stir up trouble, he needs people to help him.
Chen Yuan's expression turned serious for the first time.
"To be honest, I do intend to join the Ming Cult, and I do aspire to become its leader."
"But I never intended to become a cult leader overnight."
"How about I start as an ordinary believer and see how things go step by step?"
"Is this 'Great Shift of the Universe' technique my pledge of allegiance?"
Having grown accustomed to Chen Yuan's witty banter, Yin Tianzheng was momentarily stunned to see him so serious for the first time, and found the man even more unfathomable than before.
He pondered for a long time, and the doubt and scrutiny in his eyes gradually transformed into a complex consideration.
Wei Yixiao rolled his eyes and muttered to himself.
"It sounds... like it's not entirely a bad thing? Anyway, the church doesn't have a proper leader right now, so having another troublemaker might be a good thing..."
Yin Tianzheng, equally serious, cupped his hands in greeting.
"Anyone who can relieve the Ming Cult from its crisis, glorify the Holy Cult, and retrieve the Sacred Flame Token, regardless of their background, shall be respected by all members of the Ming Cult."
"If Young Hero Chen can accomplish the following, then not only will I, but the entire Ming Cult will have no objections!"
Chen Yuan responded with courtesy.
"Chen has taken note."
Upon seeing this, Wei Yixiao immediately became lively again.
"That's more like it!"
"Xiao Chen, from now on we're family, so do your best!"
He put his hands behind his back, took half a step around Chen Yuan, and struck a pose like a "senior," saying smugly.
"Look, my old cold poison keeps flaring up from time to time, which is quite annoying."
"Since you can cure the cold poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm, why don't you help this old man first... Ouch—!"
Before he could finish speaking, he flew away.
