Chapter 29 Successor

"Ha, ha, ha." Wang Haotian heaved as he clutched his right shoulder. "Fuck!" Yang Yu shouted as he ran forward. "My, my arm." Wang Haotian said gazing at his cut up right arm. "We need to patch up the wound." Yang Yu said as he tore off a piece of his robes and tried to tie it around the bloody wound.

Chen Feng and Zhao Shen stood there stunned, not knowing to do. "Its useless." Wang Haotian stated as he gazed at his arm. "Don't speak, you need your energy. Eat this pill." Yang Yu said as he handed him a recovery medicine.

"Chen Feng, take Zhao Shen with you can call for help, I'll take care of Wang Haotian." Yang Yu said as Chen Feng stood there. "Are you sure that's the best course of action?" Chen Feng asked, still not sure what to do.

"Look, I can't carry Zhao Shen and Wang Haotian, and if we all run to the sect it will take too long. Senior needs to rest for now, so its best if you two go back." Yang Yu explained, hearing this Chen Feng nodded.

"I agree with Junior, we have to go back as quickly as possible." Zhao Shen remarked. "Just take these before you leave." Yang Yu said as he tossed Chen Feng 2 porcelain bottles.

"Thank you, good luck junior." Chen Feng said before picking up Zhao Shen and running off into the distance.

"Senior, are you still there." Yang Yu asked as he gazed at Wang Haotian's pale countenance. "Yes, but Junior, just leave me here my journey is over." Wang Haotian stated as he attempted to reach for his sword.

"Shut up! Aren't you No.1?!" Yang Yu declared as he grabbed the sword and placed it into his ring. "No, I was never No.1, Xu Tianlong always bested me, and now even a random guy we found could beat me in 10 moves and cripple me without a sweat." Wang Haotian responded, with a gaze that looked like he wanted to die.

"So? Who says you can give up!?! After all the resources you got from the sect and your clan, you dare say your journey is over?" Yang Yu replied as he moved towards Wang Haotian and picked him up from the ground.

After that he walked into the forest. "Put me down." Wang Haotian said as Yang Yu continued to walk, hoping to find shelter. "Shut up." Yang Yu said before continuing to search.

"Truly a pity, the kid wasn't half bad." Yun Zhu observed, shaking his head in dismay. 'Fuck off, I am sure you have some techniques that can help him.' Yang Yu thought. Yun Zhu answer wasn't as expected.

The old man simply shook his head, and gazed deeply at Wang Haotian. "I do indeed have techniques he can utilise, but the difference here is, he doesn't need techniques but a will to live." Yun Zhu answered.

'...I understand.' Yang Yu thought as they reached a hill. Yang Yu then carefully laid down Wang Haotian as he faced the hill. Suddenly he punched forward creating a massive hole.

Simultaneously, the hill shook, as the massive noise alerted beasts within the area. Yang Yu didn't care though, the most important thing right now was securing Wang Haotian.

"This should do." Yang Yu said before carrying Wang Haotian into the cave and laying him down. "Why are you doing all this?" Wang Haotian asked as he looked to the ceiling.

"Why shouldn't I?" Yang Yu replied. Hearing this Wang Haotian smiled. "Seems it wasn't the wrong choice asking you to tag along." Wang Haotian said as he chuckled slightly.

"Yang Yu, before I die, can you do me a favour?" Wang Haotian requested, hearing this Yang Yu nodded. "Can you inherit, my legacy." He continued, as he stared into Yang Yu's eyes.

"Wait a second, you're not going to die so I don't need to inherit your legacy anyway." Yang Yu replied as Wang Haotian shook his head as best he could. "Fine, even if I am not going to die, I still need you to inherit my legacy." Wang Haotian told him.

Yang Yu was puzzled by this more and more. "Why do you want me of all people to inherit your legacy?" Yang Yu asked in confusion. "I see, potential in you, since we came out here its been surprise after surprise, I am confident if I leave my legacy in your hands it will be well kept." Wang Haotian stated.

"Fine, I accept." Yang Yu answered, hoping it would allow Wang Haotian to calm down. "Good, then you can know what my legacy is, pull me up a bit." Wang Haotian said, before Yang Yu pulled him up and rested his back against the wall of the cave.

"Wang Haotian, 13th successor to the Sky Spirit Sect, pass on my title to you, Yang Yu. After my Grand Uncle Wang Yong, current Sect Leader of the Sky Spirit Sect dies and or steps down, you will take his place as the 13th Sect Leader." Wang Haotian declared.

A second later, he finally took his hand off his stub and reached into his breast pocket. "Here, this is my command token, with this you can be considered the next successor." Wang Haotian continued, leaving Yang Yu shocked beyond belief.

"What do you mean successor? You're confusing me." Yang Yu said in shock as Wang Haotian smiled. "Since a while ago, I was deemed the next successor, and unwillingly I accepted. Before asking me, they naturally asked Xu Tianlong, but he declined so they asked me instead. Considering my status along with my Grand Uncle's encouragement I took the position. Ever since then I've felt, unworthy, since the only reason I had reached this position was due to my rival's desire to seek beyond the sect." Wang Haotian explained as his breath grew ragged.

Hearing this, Yang Yu nodded. "Then what gives you the authority to decide that I can replace you?" Yang Yu asked his final question. "There's a rule, where if the successor is crippled or near death, they may pass on their status to their successor, naturally if you can't fulfil the role, you will be replaced, but I have faith in you." Wang Haotian said as his breaths sped up.

"Due to this, I'll leave you all my possessions, even if I make it out of this alive, I Wang Haotian, leave everything to you, Yang Yu." Wang Haotian said with a smile. "In return though, you better give me a good name." Wang Haotian said before shutting his eyes.
