At this, Chen Xun's expression paused slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
It seemed Ancient Saint had completely severed all contact with the region beyond the Chaos Domain and knew nothing whatsoever of what had happened there.
Chen Xun casually waved a hand and took out a set of fishing gear. Looking toward a point where sea met sky, he calmly asked, "Ancient Saint, what are your plans for the future?"
Black Bull silently rose to his feet, lowered his head, and helped Chen Xun fiddle with the fishing gear. His technique was remarkably practiced.
Ancient Saint's gaze was distant as he lowered his head. "Dao Ancestor, whatever you need this junior to do, this junior will do. I will have no second thoughts."
There was a touch of melancholy in his words, and an almost imperceptible smile rested at the corner of his lips. Yet that smile carried helplessness and bitterness.
As one whose clan had been exterminated, what else could he dare speak of? He was merely clinging to life.
For some reason, before this Five-Elements Dao Ancestor, his heart was incomparably calm. It was as though all his baleful fury had vanished, leaving not the slightest hatred behind.
Chen Xun looked out over the sea and casually rubbed his cheek. "In that case, stay in the Five Aggregates Sect. Be an outer sect disciple guarding the mountain. If the Chaos Clan truly vanishes, that would be rather regrettable."
"Dao Ancestor..."
"It is a trivial matter. It is only that if you remain here, you may never be able to avenge yourself. That is the drawback. But as one in the Great Heavenly Venerable Realm, you have long since seen through the world with exceptional clarity. You must have understood these principles before coming here."
