Chapter 204 Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns.
"Hahahaha! A fight?"
Gu Santong laughed heartily, then looked at the subtle look Mei Niansheng was giving him.
He found it quite amusing; Mei Niansheng was quite concerned about saving face.
Alright, let's not make old friends feel too awkward when we meet again.
Gu Santong wasn't entirely ignorant of human relationships and social customs.
However, there aren't many people in the entire martial arts world who could inspire such thoughts in him.
Mei Niansheng's words could barely be considered one!
Thinking of this, Gu Santong nodded slightly in agreement.
He walked straight up to Mei Niansheng and carefully examined this familiar face he hadn't seen in a long time.
But they saw that Mei Niansheng's hair had turned completely white, and he was also poisoned after fighting with Xiao Qiuyu.
With all these factors combined, she looked extremely haggard.
"Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time really flies... Brother Mei, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem to have aged quite a bit."
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Gu Santong's eyes; time can change so many things.
Flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns; this saying is indeed true.
Even those who haven't reached the level of celestial beings are still subject to the constraints of birth, aging, sickness, and death.
Just like Mei Niansheng in front of us, he was once a dashing and elegant swordsman.
"He's a bit old, but at least he's still alive, that's good, that's good..."
A thought flashed through Gu Santong's mind, and then he said with a mix of emotion and a hint of teasing.
If someone else had said this, Mei Niansheng would probably have thought you were being sarcastic.
A master-level expert is considered a backbone of the martial arts world.
Where do you go if you're not treated with great courtesy? Is it a place where you can just die on a whim?
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, they might show you right there and then what it means for a master not to be insulted!
But these words came from Gu Santong's mouth.
Then there's no problem, it's perfectly normal!
Keep in mind that when Gu Santong fought him, he had only just entered the Grandmaster realm.
He almost beat himself to death, and then, in just a few years, he mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
He stepped into the late stage of the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop, and was only one step away from becoming a Celestial!
Later, in pursuit of a breakthrough to transcendence, he challenged masters from eight major sects to battles on the banks of Taihu Lake.
He has the spirit to take on ten people at once!
As a result, none of the masters from the eight major sects survived, and the water along the entire Taihu River was almost stained red with blood!
After this battle, Gu Santong became famous overnight and was known in the martial arts world as the number one evil demon!
He was unparalleled in the martial arts world for a time, and countless grandmasters died at his hands.
I heard that in the end, it was only through the personal intervention of the Iron-Blooded Marquis that he was finally imprisoned on the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison!
He disappeared without a trace after that. If I hadn't fought with him, I probably wouldn't have recognized him.
However, it's unclear what this person's purpose is in coming out of the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison!
Surely it wasn't just to save himself that this number one evil demon in the world escaped from prison?
Don't be ridiculous, Mei Niansheng doesn't have that kind of influence!
Mei Niansheng's mind was in turmoil, and finally a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"Master Gu, please don't mock me..."
However, this smile accidentally aggravated Mei Niansheng's wound, causing him to wince in pain.
"These unfilial disciples almost wore my old bones out."
"If it weren't for the timely appearance of you, Master Gu, I might have lost my life here today."
Upon hearing this, Gu Santong originally intended to tease Mei Niansheng for his poor judgment of character, as a grandmaster had been driven to such a predicament by his disciples.
But then it was as if he suddenly remembered something!
He froze on the spot, a complex expression flashing across his face.
After all, he had made mistakes in judging people before, so what right did he have to ridicule Mei Niansheng...?
Mei Niansheng saw that Gu Santong was stunned, and she didn't understand why.
But no matter what, Gu Santong's act of saving his life this time was genuine.
So Mei Niansheng prepared to get up and express his gratitude first, and then think about how to repay the life-saving grace later!
Just as Mei Niansheng stood up, she suddenly caught a strange glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.
At that moment, Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi were moving the corpses of Wan Zhenshan's three traitors towards the outside of the dilapidated temple.
Upon seeing this, Mei Niansheng's heart stirred, thinking that the two of them couldn't bear to see the three people lying dead in the wilderness and wanted to bury them on the spot.
A sense of awe rose in my heart; the difference between people is just too great!
Look at how those two behave! Compared to them, what were those three I taught before?
But I, as the master, should handle this kind of thing.
These three traitors, though they had turned against the Heavenly Gang, actually joined forces with the Green Robe Tower to try and destroy their master and ancestors in order to obtain the treasure!
But ultimately, they had spent so much time together.
Looking at the corpses, Mei Niansheng felt a pang of sadness.
Thinking of this, Mei Niansheng walked straight towards Xia Xueyi and Xiyu, and said softly.
"Young heroes, let me handle the burying of the body. We won't trouble you two any further..."
"what......"
"what......"
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi both voiced their questions in unison.
Then he turned to look at Mei Niansheng, and immediately saw the look of appreciation in Mei Niansheng's eyes.
For a moment, the two of them were completely baffled.
However, the two reacted quickly and immediately realized that Mei Niansheng must have misunderstood something.
Immediately, Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi exchanged a glance. What should they do?
They were simply following the standard procedures of the Valley of Bliss...
Mei Niansheng's misunderstanding has put them in an awkward position.
To be honest, it does seem a bit inappropriate to burn a disciple's body in front of someone else's master.
Just as the two were at a loss, Mei Niansheng was about to reach them.
But then Shan Tianxie slowly walked in and smiled at Mei Niansheng.
"Senior Mei has misunderstood this point."
"Oh?"
Mei Niansheng looked somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and then asked, "Could it be that it wasn't buried on the spot?"
Dan Tianxie's gaze swept over the corpses of Wan Zhenshan and the others on the ground, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"This kind of traitor who betrays his master and ancestors deserves to die. Why bother burying him? Just burn him according to our procedure!"
Upon hearing this, Mei Niansheng was slightly taken aback. Burn it directly?!
However, Shan Tianxie didn't care what Mei Niansheng thought; the SOP process of Bliss Valley was not to be shaken!
He then glanced at Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi beside him.
The two instantly understood each other and swiftly began to work.
In just a few moments, the bodies of everyone were gathered together.
Then, as Xiyu prepared to cremate the corpse,
"No need to bother!"
Dan Tianxie waved his hand, then turned to look at Gu Santong beside him, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"Senior Gu, it's your turn..."
