Chixiao Temple, rear courtyard side hall.
Besides Lu Zheng and a few others, there were Ling Kunzi, the current Temple Master of Chixiao Temple, Master Jinghe, several elder masters who were close to Master Yun Ning, several stewards of the temple, and the top disciples of the current generation.
Master Jinghe was reading a letter written to him by Master Mingyu, while two elder masters held a small sword and a jade talisman, respectively.
In the center of the hall, an ebony coffin was placed; its lid was set aside, revealing the corpse of Master Yun Ning.
Lu Zheng had just finished detailing everything from the moment he encountered Master Yun Ning, to Master Yun Ning cutting off his heart vein himself, and asking him to return the jade talisman to Chixiao Temple.
"That's how it happened," Lu Zheng said. "Of course, Elder Yuning was already fallen by then, so the truth of his words, I can't be sure of."
