The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 806: A Dying Entrustment

Yang Yan could tell that Li Muge was already at the end of his rope, reaching the end of his life.

Even he couldn't let the other party live any longer.

This is the Heavenly Dao, it's the Law, a rule that everyone must abide by and cannot escape.

With a sigh, Li Muge said:

"In my life! I've seen countless incredibly talented people."

"Little Sword God Zuo Fei counts as one, those two little fellows outside can count as two, Han Sheng can just barely be considered too."

"But none of these people can compare to you. You are the most talented person I've ever met in my life!"

"Moreover, rare as it is, you still have a sincere loyalty to Huaxia."

"So, no matter what you do, even if you kill Li Zheng and the others, we'll cover for you."

Li Muge was indeed nearing the end.

While saying these few words, he kept coughing incessantly.

And occasionally, blood gushed out of his mouth.

"I'd like to ask a favor of you."

Li Muge took a deep breath to ease himself somewhat, then turned his eyes to look at Yang Yan, saying.

"Go ahead. But if it's about handing over the Eight Divisions to me, then don't bring it up."

Yang Yan furrowed his brows and prefaced his words.

"Haha! Rest assured, it won't be about handing over the Eight Divisions to you."

"Even if I wanted to, neither the upper echelons nor you would agree."

"The Eight Divisions has already found a good successor, I'm reassured regardless.

"What I want to ask of you are those two youngsters outside."

Yang Yan furrowed his brows even tighter.

"Them?"

He looked at Li Muge skeptically.

Li Muge struggled to smile:

"Lv Jian needs no mention, naturally good material for the Hidden World."

"I imagine after you've trained them for a while, they can be of help to you."

"As for Zhiyuan, she is likewise a genius."

"In terms of intelligence and information, I haven't seen anyone better than her."

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, asking in confusion:

"What do you mean? If they're both so capable, why hand them over to me?"

"Couldn't they just stay in the Eight Divisions? There would be more opportunities for training there."

Li Muge gently shook his head:

"It's different. If they continue in the Eight Divisions, they'll never accomplish much in their lives."

"And I don't want that for them either."

"The Eight Divisions of Huaxia hasn't been established for long, its growth limits their progress."

"They need a broader sky, can you agree to my request?"

Hearing Li Muge's words, Yang Yan was immediately taken aback.

He didn't understand what Li Muge was planning with this.

Yet he knew clearly enough that this should be the last request of this old man who had dedicated his life to Huaxia.

"What? Is this difficult for you?"

Li Muge looked at Yang Yan with some worry.

"No, I agree to this matter. But only this one thing will I agree to."

After saying so, Yang Yan stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Muge did not stop him, just let him walk out.

When Yang Yan opened the door, Zhiyuan and Lv Jian, along with a middle-aged man, stood outside.

Seeing Yang Yan come out, they nodded at him, then the middle-aged man said to Zhiyuan and Lv Jian:

"You two, go in."

After Lv Jian and Zhiyuan entered, the middle-aged man extended his hand and said:

"My name is Li Hongwen, Master Moonlight, I have admired you for a long time."

Seeing the other's gesture, Yang Yan also extended his hand, then said:

"Yang Yan."

"Haha! Didn't expect that I would have the day to see the Four Emperors' Moonlight in person."

Li Hongwen said with a smile.

"You're not too shabby yourself! The new handler of Huaxia's Eight Divisions."

Yang Yan also laughed.

"If I told you this position was a burden for me, would you believe it?"

Li Hongwen looked at Yang Yan seriously.

"If someone else said it, definitely I wouldn't believe it."

"But since it's you saying, I believe it!"

"After all, having a natural cultivator take charge of the Eight Divisions would be a significant obstacle to your cultivation."

Yang Yan nodded as he spoke.

"Indeed! It's folks like you who understand me."

Li Hongwen sighed and said:

"I've always told the old man I don't want to manage the Eight Divisions."

"However, the old man won't allow it, insisting I take over. It's like forcing a duck onto a perch."

Yang Yan chuckled softly, consoling him:

"It's because he trusts you. And now the Hidden World is far different than how it used to be."

"Without a strong figure holding down the fort, I think the folks outside would definitely cause trouble."

Li Hongwen's strength is formidable, even more so than Zuo Fei.

He may not be more talented than Zuo Fei, but he's not far off.

Moreover, he started cultivating much earlier than Zuo Fei, naturally making his cultivation stronger.

"Alas! That's precisely what the old man told me."

Li Hongwen sighed heavily and said with a wry smile:

"If it weren't for this relationship, I would never accept this position."

"So tell me, what major incidents occurred in Huaxia during my absence?"

Yang Yan thought for a moment before responding.

Li Hongwen pondered, then spoke in a deep voice:

"Indeed! During your absence, quite a few major events occurred in Huaxia."

"First, Dragon Tiger Mountain's Celestial Master changed. Zhang Xie'an, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this person, right?"

"He teamed up with Zhuge Wudi against you at that martial arts conference."

Hearing Li Hongwen's words, Yang Yan furrowed his brows as well.

Dragon Tiger Mountain's Zhengyi Dao Celestial Master differs from other sect leaders.

As one of Huaxia's Taoist leaders, every Celestial Master is an incredibly formidable character.

Similarly, the next Celestial Master must be approved by the previous one.

Though Zhang Xie'an had already gained sect approval, becoming Celestial Master now seemed premature.

"What? You find it hard to understand?"

Li Hongwen looked at Yang Yan, smiling.

Yang Yan nodded:

"Yes! In theory, the Elder Celestial Master should be able to serve for much longer."

"Replacing him with Zhang Xie'an now seems premature."

"Zhang Xie'an's skills are adequate, but ultimately he lacks experience!"

If anyone else said this before Li Hongwen, he would definitely consider them foolish.

Someone so young yet gaining a title — how could they lack experience?

However, since it was Yang Yan speaking, the matter was different.

Who is Yang Yan, reigning above the Heavenly Dao Stele, one of the Four Emperors, a part of the Heavenly Dao itself embodied in Moonlight! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This is someone who Zhang Xie'an couldn't even see the back of, an incredible prodigy beyond comparison.
