C3630 Away from Home
This was destined to be an extraordinary night.
Ye Weiyang's return allowed the Ninth Gate's disciples and elders to see some hope, but after night fell, nothing happened. The ninth door did not send out any news, which made everyone understand that they could only face the stormy future.
That night, news came again. More than a thousand people had been released from the Ninth Gate prison.
One hundred and twenty thousand years ago, a low-key inspection was conducted in Ninth Gate. Several tens of thousands of disciples and elders were questioned, and told that Yinn Gu had gone missing.
Amongst these one thousand and two hundred people, more than half actually came from Chen Faction and Ye Clan.
So when the inspection campaign had just ended, everyone in the sect had thought that something big had happened. It was only when Faang Haoyun personally declared that Ye Weiyang was sent by him to the World of Meaning to fight for some rights and also strictly forbade people from discussing this matter, that some of the one thousand seven hundred people were released one after another. Only after that, when the majority of the people were changed from imprisonment to house arrest, did the commotion gradually calm down.
Today, on the day of Ye Weiyang's return, the release of the more than 1000 people under house arrest and imprisonment was indeed a major event and it made everyone puzzled.
Everyone in the sect thought that since Ye Weiyang had returned, it was only right and proper to let all the prisoners leave the prison. However, they were all released immediately without giving an answer. This attitude had changed too quickly.
In a mansion.
Meng Fan sat on a stone bench and closed his eyes to rest.
If one looked from high above, he would see that there were many mansions, covering thousands of miles in a row, under the protection of many large arrays. This was the place used by the sect to imprison people, many years ago, Chen Qin was placed under house arrest, and later on Zerstar Da was also placed under house arrest.
According to some of the customs in Ninth Gate, if the Grand Elder makes a mistake, unless it is a heinous crime, they will all be placed under house arrest. Furthermore, the offerings are still being kept, but it may be reduced a bit, and there will even be people waiting for him to live.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard.
Meng Fan turned his head and saw a pretty and heroic looking woman.
It was Hee Huaijiao.
However, Pei Chenglun had saved Hee Huaijiao, and the entire Ninth Gate did not know Hee Huaijiao's true identity. This was because Hee Huaijiao's body had once been destroyed, and she had almost died, and her soul had been reborn, so everything that had happened after her cultivation was gone and she had to train again, so she was not too conspicuous, and she had always been very low-key. The current Hee Huaijiao was just a Divine King at the peak of the Five Tribulations.
Therefore, even though Hee Huaijiao was haggard, it could be seen that she had only been placed under house arrest and had not suffered much.
Hee Huaijiao fell into a trance the moment she saw Meng Fan, because Meng Fan did not appear as Ye Weiyang. Instead, he appeared as the real body.
Hee Huaijiao's lips moved a few times. It was obvious that she almost blurted out the words "Ancestor."
But in the end, he managed to hold it in.
Meng Fan didn't stay his gaze on Hee Huaijiao for long. He then shifted his gaze behind Hee Huaijiao.
Ann Xiaokang supported an old man over.
The old man was Chen Qin.
Chen Qin's hair was a mess. It was already gray. If you looked carefully, you could see that his hair was completely pale and dusty.
His clothes were tattered and his body was bent.
Ann Xiaokang held her up carefully. No matter how calm she appeared, tears were still flowing down her face.
Meng Fan stood up slowly and walked to the front of Chen Qin.
Chen Qin raised his head, looked at Meng Fan and said, "This is how you look like."
Meng Fan sighed and slowly said, "Looks like Elder Chen knows everything."
"For the past 120,000 years, Sect Master has interrogated me many times. He thought that I knew everything, so he told me everything." "Chen Qin suddenly laughed, but it was a sad laugh." I thought I would die in prison, but luckily, I came out.
Meng Fan said, "I feel very guilty."1
Chen Qin looked at Meng Fan quietly for a moment and smiled, "You don't feel guilty. In your eyes, we are just chess pieces."
With a single sentence, it was as if the clouds had fallen over the horizon.
However, it really showed the hatred that Chen Qin had towards Meng Fan that he had accumulated over the past 120,000 years!
The current him only became cold because he endured too much suffering and torture. However, he still resented Meng Fan.
Meng Fan was silent for a moment: "I do feel a bit guilty, although not too bad."
Wu Tie closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He walked around Meng Fan and sat on the stool with the support of Ann Xiaokang.
Meng Fan looked at Ann Xiaokang, "Where is Pei Chenglun?"
"Senior."
The moment Meng Fan finished.
Deep in the quiet alley, Pei Chenglun walked in unsteadily.
His fleshly body was completely destroyed.
Meng Fan saw that the upper half of his body was naked, and the lower half of his body only had a pair of tattered linen shorts. The skin he revealed was completely withered, skinny, and covered in all kinds of marks and scars.
It was a formation branded with laws.
All these years, Faang Haoyun's resentment and anger were vented on Pei Chenglun and Chen Qin.
But compared to the embarrassed and aged Chen Qin, Pei Chenglun was seriously injured. Meng Fan could see from the Eye of Creation that Pei Chenglun's Pillar of Martial Arts were full of cracks.
Meng Fan frowned as he walked in front of Pei Chenglun. He reached out his hand to break the array imprints on Pei Chenglun's body one by one to restore his flesh and blood.
The process was painful.
Pei Chenglun clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.
Meng Fan did everything silently.
Pei Chenglun said, "I know that you will definitely come back. And before I stepped into the black hole, I was prepared to bear everything, including death."
Meng Fan said, "You've been waiting for a glorious death."
Pei Chenglun smiled weakly: "We have been trained since we were young, from the body to the soul. Perhaps this kind of training makes me long for the glory of dying in battle."
Meng Fan healed Pei Chenglun's heaviest injury and then turned around to look at Chen Qin.
Chen Qin said, "They are very wary of you."
These words were about the various experts that were hidden in the surroundings.
As Meng Fan waited here for Pei Chenglun, Chen Qin, and Hee Huaijiao, the Great Elders of Ninth Gate would definitely be on their guard.
"You are free, all the people from Chen Faction and Ye Clan are free, and you are still their leader. Elder Chen, what do you want to do?" Meng Fan asked.
Chen Qin: "Of course I won't go with you, but Ninth Gate doesn't give us any place to stay either, so we … I can only leave, not knowing where I'll go. Maybe, I'll wander forever. "
At this point, Chen Qin's voice suddenly became very low: "Forever leaving our home."
