C1831 What is hidden
After a moment of silence, Great Honored Warrior suddenly spoke: "I presume you already know, that the two disciples of this old man are the ones in charge of Temple Hall, Bai Weng, and the one who is scolded by tens of thousands of people?"
Long Bufan nodded, and replied honestly: "En, Master Bai Weng has told me about it in the past."
"According to seniority, Bai Weng can now be considered your senior brother. You no longer need to address him as Lord."
Great Honored Warrior shook his head with a faint smile, then changed the subject and spoke with a hoarse voice: "Since you know everything, then this old man does not need to speak anymore. Are you curious why this old man is here, and not in Celestial domain?"
Long Bufan's eyes flashed, seeing that Great Honored Warrior was finally going to reveal the truth, he hurriedly replied. "Yes."
Great Honored Warrior let out a light sigh, and said slowly with a heavy tone: "Ever since the calamity ended, for the past five hundred years, this old man has been hiding in this place, not leaving the continent of the firmament, and not flying up to the Celestial domain."
Hearing this, Long Bufan's face looked startled, but he was not too surprised, because this result, was more or less what he had guessed. What he was truly curious about was why the Great Honored Warrior hid the truth even though he was clearly still in the continent of the firmament. In the end, there were internal strife in the Temple Hall, with various powers fighting for power!
When the various questions in his heart reached Long Bufan's mouth, they converged into a single sentence. He then asked suspiciously: "Is there any reason why Teacher is doing this, or is it because you're trying to hide something?"
Great Honored Warrior muttered to himself for a bit, then said: "In the great battle between me and the Otherworldly Demon Emperor back then, this old man suffered a crushing defeat at the price of burning vital essence and blood. In the end, this old man's body was also heavily injured, and I almost fell into Life Destruction.
Hearing this, Long Bufan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that flying to Celestial domain would allow him to pass through some dangerous obstacles like he did during the assessment?
Seemingly seeing through the doubt in Long Bufan's heart, the Great Honored Warrior said meaningfully: "Regarding these matters of the Celestial domain, when you reach the The Ancestor Realm in the future, you will naturally know about them. If you find out too much now, it will only increase your own pressure, which will be useless."
"Disciple understands." Long Bufan smiled and nodded. Right now, he was facing the difficulty of leaving this plane, whether he could come back alive was a question. As for the Celestial domain behind him, he would take the first step.
Then, Long Bufan thought about it again and looked at the Great Honored Warrior in front of him. "So this means that for the past five hundred years, Teacher has been hiding in this island, recuperating from his injuries?"
Great Honored Warrior shook his head and said, "This old man's wounds are already unable to heal. Being able to hold on until now can also be considered a type of good fortune."
If the person in front of him was not Great Honored Warrior, he would probably shout out "Act tough" on the spot. This was because it was really hard for him to imagine, an old man who was heavily injured could actually live for more than five hundred years.
With regards to Long Bufan's reaction, Great Honored Warrior didn't say much and slowly put down the broom in his hand. He then lifted up his sleeves, revealing his skinny arms that were as thick as firewood, and exposed them to Long Bufan's line of sight.
The skin on his arms did not have the skin of a normal person, but instead had a strange greenish black color. Some of them were festering, as if they had been corroded, and were showing signs of gradually spreading throughout his body.
