aughed heartily and said: “Take it then, do as you wish.”

He then coughed repeatedly and his color changed to a faint yellow.
This was the final radiance of a setting sun.
He had one step in the grave at this point.
It was nothing short of a miracle for someone with his injuries to last so long.

More footsteps could be heard from below.
Many pursuers were coming.

“They’re here.
G-go!” The old man grabbed the sword hilt tighter and became worried about Li Qiye.

It had nothing to do with Li Qiye himself.
However, all would be in vain if Li Qiye were to be captured right now.

Li Qiye stood there with a smile, not listening to the man’s urging.

“Go!” The old man shouted with his remaining strength.
Breathing became difficult.

The pursuers finally arrived and surrounded Li Qiye with drawn weapons.

“Sect Master!” They saw the old man and pointed their sword at Li Qiye, thinking that he was the culprit.

The old man was relieved since they were fellow sect members, not the enemies.

“No..” Alas, he was losing control.
He pointed his shaking finger at Li Qiye and mustered his last breath: “I, I pass my position to him, he, he is the new sect master…”

The last words required everything he had.
After this last command, he vomited more blood and closed his eyes.

“Sect Master!” The group rushed over to him while Li Qiye watched silently.

They lamented and cried but the old man was already dead.
Not even an immortal could save him now.

The juniors wept while the older seniors exchanged glances, unsure of what to do because of their sect master’s last wish.

“Sir, may I ask for your name?” An elder of the sect with the last name Hu came over and cupped his fist.
He had the highest status here and saw the last words in person.

He was under heavy pressure.
Though their sect was small, they still had rules and principles regarding the succession process.

Alas, their previous sect master broke the process by passing it to Li Qiye.
They needed to deal with this carefully or it might result in chaos.

“Li Qiye.” Li Qiye wasn’t too interested in this trivial matter.

The sect members were at a loss due to this unexpected development.
They had just lost their sect master and now, an outsider has become their new leader.

“Sir, may I ask how did you know our sect master?” Elder Hu inquired.

“I don’t, we’ve just met.” Li Qiye told the truth.

This further perplexed the listeners.
Their sect master gave his position to a complete stranger?

“We…” Elder Hu was speechless.
They were just a small and inexperienced sect, unequipped to deal with this situation.

“Take this.” Li Qiye handed a scroll over to Elder Hu: “Your sect master traded his life for this merit law and gave it to me.
You may have it.”

An ancient immortal physique law was considered priceless by many.
Li Qiye was one exception.
