A few days later, Yang Dingtian brought Ling Yihan into a secret tunnel at Light Summit and said,""Yihan, this is the secret passage of our Ming Cult's Light Summit. Only the past cult masters can enter this secret passage.”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he pretended to be surprised." Master, if that's the case, why did you…"
Yang Dingtian looked at him with a gentle gaze. He used his hand to gently pat his shoulder and said earnestly,""Yihan, your martial arts aren't weak and you're also smart. You should know very well why I announced you as the Holy Son of our sect.”
Ling Yihan nodded and said," Of course I know. I just feel that I'm not qualified enough yet. I'm afraid that the other brothers in the sect will not be convinced and the hearts of the people will be scattered."”
When Yang Dingtian heard this, he laughed out loud." Yihan, actually that day when you and Han Qianye were fighting in the cold pond, I already knew that although you were young, your inner strength was deep and extraordinary. Although I don't know what kind of miraculous opportunities you had in the past, I believe that you must have received guidance from an expert. In terms of martial arts aptitude, none of the brothers in the sect could compare to you. Therefore, I had already decided at that time that the position of the sect master in the future would definitely be yours!”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he quickly pretended to be in a state of fear and trepidation, saying,""Master, how can I? If he wanted to decide the successor of the Hierarch, why not choose from the Left and Right Emissaries of Light, the Three Guardian Kings, and the others?”
After Yang Dingtian heard his words, he sighed deeply and shook his head,""Yihan, actually, the best candidate in my heart was Golden Fur Lion King Xie Xun. He was talented in both civil and military affairs, and his bearing was extraordinary. Compared to the arrogant Left and Right Emissary of Light and the other two Guardian Kings, he was more suitable to be the Hierarch. Unfortunately…although he valued relationships and righteousness, his nature was like a raging fire, and he was easily tricked by villains. But fortunately, I met you. Your martial arts and wisdom are needless to say. Moreover, you are calm and composed. You have the talent of a general and the demeanor of a king. So, how can I miss a talent like you?”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart."Yang Dingtian is truly worthy of being the Ming Cult's cult master. Not only is his martial arts almost invincible, but his vision and knowledge are also rather unique. With just a few words, he was able to analyze the Left and Right Emissaries 'and the Three Karmapas' personalities as well as the Ming Cult's situation so thoroughly, and he was able to make the corresponding preparations.”
Master, it's still too early to talk about this. Let's talk about these important matters later…"
Yang Dingtian waved his hand and sighed,""I'm afraid there's not much time left for me. I originally wanted to appoint you as the Holy Son yesterday. In the future, if anything happens to me, you can naturally inherit the position of Sect Master. Unfortunately, you…sigh…"
" Master, why do you say that? You're in your prime, how could there be a 'what if'…" Ling Yihan felt something and quickly tried to persuade him.
Yang Dingtian didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Ling Yihan took the letter, opened it, and read the contents slowly.
The previous cult master had given Yang Dingtian an order to lead the disciples to the Persia Sect after he mastered the Heaven and Earth Great Shift. He wanted to find a way to retrieve the Ming Cult's sacred object, the Sacred Flame Token. Furthermore, he couldn't blindly follow the Sect Head's orders and submit to the Yuan Dynasty…He also mentioned that when Yang Dingtian had mastered the fourth level of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, he already knew about Madam Yang's affair with Cheng Kun. The blood essence in his body was surging uncontrollably, and his true energy was about to dissipate. He was about to die soon…
At this point, Ling Yihan's face showed shock.""Master, this…how did Master's wife…"
He thought to himself,'So you already know about Cheng Kun and your wife's secret rendezvous. No wonder you're in such a hurry to decide on the successor of the cult master.'
Yang Dingtian sighed deeply." That's right. Xinru didn't want to marry me back then. However, since she married me, why did she have to marry her senior brother? I got her, but I couldn't get her heart…"
At this point, tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes. Ling Yihan knew that the " Xinru " he was referring to was Madam Yang. Her name was Liu Xinru.
Ling Yihan's eyes flashed with killing intent as he said coldly,""If that's the case, Yihan would rather bear the name of killing Master's wife than let such a woman live in this world..."
"Shut up!" Yang Dingtian immediately shouted," No matter how she treats me, she is still my wife. I want you to treat her as your master's wife from now on. You must not disrespect her!”
Ling Yihan thought to himself,'You've already been cuckolded, yet you're still protecting this woman. You're hopeless.'
"Yes, I understand."
Yang Dingtian's expression eased up after hearing what he said.""Yihan, I know that you're feeling unfair for me, but it's really hard to tell when it comes to relationships. I've already decided that when I have the chance, I'll be trapped in this stone room with Cheng Kun and die together, so that I can protect your master's wife from leaving the secret passage. Once you know that I'm missing, give this letter to your master's wife. She will naturally gather the Left and Right Light Emissaries, the Three Guardian Kings, the Five Rogues, and the Five Banner Emissaries to support you in ascending to the position of the sect master. If anyone refuses to accept it, kill them without mercy!”
When he said the last sentence, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
Ling Yihan also read the last part of the letter. It was to ask Madam Yang to help him, Ling Yihan, become the cult master of the Ming Cult.
"Master, just let me kill this bastard Cheng Kun. Why do you have to die with him?”Ling Yihan said seriously.
Yang Dingtian stroked his head and smiled bitterly,""Silly child, with your current martial arts, you are still not his match. Moreover, I have gone berserk in my cultivation and don't have much time left. Your most important task now is to master my two ultimate techniques, the Great Nine Heavens Hand and the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.”
As he spoke, he passed a secret manual and a sheepskin to Ling Yihan.
Ling Yihan took it and looked at it. On the cover of the manual were the words " Great Nine Heavenly Hands ", while the sheepskin was empty. However, he knew that the Heaven and Earth Great Shift was hidden inside, but it had to be smeared with blood to be revealed.
Even though Ling Yihan could learn martial arts on his own, Yang Dingtian still demonstrated these two martial arts to him and told him how to use blood to display the heart technique on the sheepskin.
In the end, Yang Dingtian even taught him to recite the Ming Cult's oath, even though he already knew about it.
"Burn my broken body, the raging holy fire, what joy is there in life, why bother in death? To do good and to eliminate evil is only because of light. Joy, sorrow, all return to dust. Pity my people, there are many worries..."
