Chapter 631 Secret
"Senior is my uncle's teacher?"
Listening to the old man's words, Ye Fan was slightly surprised. Forty years ago, he was the uncle's teacher. Now the uncle is over seventy. His teacher, I'm afraid...
"I am one hundred and eleven years old this year." Seeing Ye Fan's thoughts, the old man replied: "My surname is Fang, you can call me Master Fang."
"Okay." Ye Fan nodded, and quickly said doubtfully: "King-level experts generally have a life span of more than a hundred years. Forty years ago, Master Fang was only in his early eighties, so why did he come to Fuguang Island?"
"I was poisoned and should have died a long time ago." Master Fang replied, casually putting his finger into the fish tank nearby, applying slight force, and forced out a drop of blood.
The blood was a weird color, black.
The next moment, the entire water in the tank was soaked with this drop of blood and suddenly turned black. The fish in the fish tank also struggled violently, becoming stiff and turning white in just a few breaths.
Not only that, after a few seconds, the water in the fish tank started to boil as if it were boiling.
"What a terrifying poison." Looking at this scene in the fish tank, Ye Fan's pupils shrank a little: "The only one who can poison a king-level strongman is the King Viper in the secret realm deep in the north."
"Senior, was he poisoned when he went to practice? Was he accidentally bitten by a viper?"
"Do you know about the King Viper?" Master Fang was slightly surprised, and then shook his head, "But I wasn't poisoned after fighting the King Viper, but someone poisoned me."
"Poisoned?" Hearing this, Ye Fan subconsciously thought of several kings: "Who?"
"My wife." Master Fang replied with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "I don't know who bribed her, or maybe she betrayed me and poisoned my breakfast porridge."
"Snake venom is colorless and odorless after processing. I didn't notice it for a moment, and when I realized it, it had already poisoned my heart and lungs. I relied on my cultivation to survive for more than a month. I accidentally learned the news about Fuguang Island, and I survived. Come down."
"Have you been poisoned by your lover..." Listening to Master Fang's story, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Master Fang and found that his expression was calm and a little confused: "Master Fang doesn't seem to blame his lover."
"How could it not be strange?" Master Fang shook his head: "It's just that it's been forty years, and I can't seem to remember any resentment."
"It's been too long, and the hatred has become blurry."
As he spoke, he sighed: "I just feel sorry. She has made breakfast porridge like that for me all her life. I never thought that the last thing she drank would be a bowl of poisonous porridge."
"In the end, it doesn't matter whether you hate it or love it or not." Ye Fan sighed slightly, "Master Fang has no attachment and his state of mind has been detached."
"It's not that I'm detached. It's just that it's been so long that I really can't remember clearly." Master Fang waved his hand and glanced at Ye Fan: "I came to you today because I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Fan had been waiting for a long time and now he answered seriously.
"The reason why the people of Fuguang Island asked you to be their successor is not simple." Master Fang replied, his face slightly cold: "Fuguang Island is a refuge for those of us who deserve to die, and the laws on the giants are what makes Fuguang Island special. If you inherit the giant's law, the elders and the remaining strong men will definitely find a way to let you stay on Fuguang Island."
"What exactly is the special thing about Fuguang Island?" Ye Fan asked: "Is it able to extend life span, or what?"
"It allows people who should have died to exist in a living form." Master Fang answered briefly and stretched out his hand: "You can check it out."
"Okay." Ye Fan was not polite, took Master Fang's hand, entered the Holy Law, and began to explore Master Fang's inner palace.
"hiss."
Soon, Ye Fan took a breath of cold air and looked at Master Fang, his eyes changed drastically: "Master Fang's internal organs have long been rotten, leaving only a rotten shell, and they are no longer even functioning."
"This is completely the inner palace of a dead person."
"You should understand what I mean." Master Fang seemed to have anticipated Ye Fan's reaction, and his expression remained calm: "I'm pretty good and still have good shape. Those who are older have only corpses left in their palaces."
"We are all half-dead people who are neither humans nor ghosts. Without the special laws of Fuguang Island, we will turn into corpses in the next second."
"There are hundreds of king-level experts dying on Fuguang Island, and if you inherit the law, it is possible for monsters like us, neither humans nor ghosts, to come back to life and re-exist in the world as living people." Master Fang added. Eyeing Ye Fan: "You invited me here, and I came to tell you this because I hope you can leave Blessed Island."
"You probably didn't get this information from the great elder."
"Indeed not." Ye Fan shook his head: "The great elder wanted to sign a slavery contract with me. After the conflict, he didn't say anything. He just asked me to wait for the giant to wake up."
"They are thinking of other ways to make you surrender." Master Fang judged, and then said: "The giant has awakened, and Fuguang Island is nothing but destruction. It has nothing to do with you. There is no need to be used as a gun by a group of dead corpses."
"But the giant's strength is close to that of the transcendent. If no one stops him, if he goes to the inland of the human race, it will be a disaster for the human race." Ye Fan thought more.
"With so many of us, maybe we can fight him to death." Master Fang replied, glancing at Ye Fan: "During the day, you told that man that you did not fight for the human race."
"But I have people I want to make amends with and unfinished obsessions." Ye Fan replied. In just a few words, his eyes were already firm, "The human race cannot be destroyed."
"That's it." Seeing Ye Fan's firm answer, Master Fang was stunned and shook his head helplessly: "If that's the case, then you need to be more careful."
"I came here just to remind you of the real purpose of Fuguang Island. The specific choice is still up to you."
"There are too many strong people on Fuguang Island. I can't stay for long, so I'll leave first."
After speaking, the domain quickly dissipated, and everything in the surrounding room emerged.
"Why is Master Fang willing to tell me this?" Before leaving, Ye Fan suddenly asked: "Don't you want to really come back to life?"
"I used to want to." Master Fang replied.
"Then why..."
"Like you said during the day, people always have to live for something." Master Fang smiled sadly: "I have obtained some news from the outside world through various means over the years."
"My lover died, my son died, and even my granddaughter died in the chaos not long ago."
"In this world, I have nothing to linger on. There is no point in surviving."
"And the person who wanted to poison Master Fang." Ye Fan added, "Master Fang, don't you want to know who it is?"
"I have a guess, but I haven't confirmed it." Master Fang answered, but he was relieved: "It doesn't matter anymore. That person is dead. He didn't live as long as me, and he couldn't find Fuguang Island."
"This..." Ye Fan was a little speechless, and at this time, the domain had already retreated. Master Fang retreated to the door and waved to Ye Fan: "You have your own choice, and I have my own choice."
"If possible, I hope I can die in the hands of a giant."
"I have always admired the strong, and it is boring to die silently on a rotten island like this."
