Chapter 762 Self-Sacrifice
"Very tired." Chen Yile said with difficulty, "Teacher Li, did I really seal the gate?"
Teacher Li nodded: "Yes, but..." Her voice suddenly paused, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"But what?" Chen Yile asked anxiously.
Teacher Li took a deep breath. "Although the boundary gate has been sealed, it has not completely disappeared. The power of the evil spirit leader has been suppressed, but it has not been completely eliminated. And..."
She paused, then continued, "I discovered something about you."
Chen Yile was stunned for a moment: "About me?"
Teacher Li nodded and said, "You are actually the reincarnation of an outstanding gatekeeper from a hundred years ago."
Chen Yile's eyes widened: "What?"
Teacher Li took out the ancient tome and pointed to a page. "This page records a great battle that took place a hundred years ago. At that time, a gatekeeper named Chen Xiuyuan sacrificed himself to seal the gate. His reincarnation is you."
Chen Yile's hands trembled slightly: "Is this true?"
Teacher Li nodded. "Yes. The reason your rune is so powerful is because it was passed down a hundred years ago, and you are destined to take on this mission."
Chen Yile was silent for a moment, then asked, "So my current situation..."
Teacher Li sighed: "Your rune power is almost exhausted in the battle with the evil spirit leader. If you don't replenish your strength in time, your body may collapse."
Chen Yile closed his eyes, and the terrifying figure of the evil spirit leader appeared in his mind.
He knew he had to keep fighting, but he also knew his current condition was extremely dangerous.
Teacher Li held his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will help you find a solution."
Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Two men in suits walked in with sinister smiles on their faces.
"Chen Yile, you finally woke up." said one of the men.
Teacher Li immediately stood up alertly: "Who are you?"
"You destroyed our altar and now you ask who we are?"
Another man said, "We're here to talk to Chen Yile about something, so don't block our way."
"What do you want to do?" Teacher Li asked.
"It's very simple, just let Chen Yile come with us."
Teacher Li sneered, "Don't even think about it."
"Then don't blame us for being rude."
The second man suddenly made a move and grabbed Teacher Li's wrist.
"Let her go!" Chen Yile shouted loudly.
Although he was very weak, he managed to sit up.
"Don't try to hurt my friends!" Chen Yile gritted his teeth and forced the power of the runes to operate.
Although the power of his runes had been severely weakened, he still burst out with powerful strength at the critical moment.
Two beams of golden energy shot out from his hands and hit the two men directly.
They let out a scream and then fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Chen Yile gasped and said, "We have to leave here as soon as possible."
Teacher Li nodded: "Oh right, I just thought of a place."
Teacher Li took Chen Yile to an ancient temple located on the edge of the city, where few people usually come.
"This is where my master once practiced," Teacher Li said. "The spiritual energy here is very pure and can help you recover your strength."
Chen Yile nodded.
Teacher Li looked at him and said, "I have something important to tell you. Your parents were kidnapped by those people."
Chen Yile's heart sank suddenly: "What?"
Teacher Li nodded and said, "I just received the news as well. After they found out you were the reincarnation of the gatekeeper, they wanted to use your parents to threaten you to hand over the spirit jade."
Chen Yile felt a surge of intense anger.
"I have to save them," he whispered.
Teacher Li nodded: "I will help you."
After several days of preparation, Teacher Li and Chen Yile finally found the cult's lair, a secret base hidden deep underground.
"We must be careful. The cult members must have set many traps here."
Chen Yile nodded: "I know."
After they sneaked into the base, they found that it was indeed full of dangers, with traps and guards everywhere.
Eventually, they came to a huge basement where they saw their parents tied to iron poles.
Chen Yile rushed over and untied the ropes: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
The mother shook her head: "As long as you are safe."
Just then, the cult leader walked in.
There was a sinister smile on his face: "Chen Yile, you are finally here."
Chen Yile looked at him coldly: "Are you going to let us go, or force me to eliminate you?"
The leader said with a sinister smile: "I think you will all die here!"
He suddenly waved his hand to signal his men to attack. Suddenly, countless black mists surged out from all directions, surrounding Chen Yile and his companions.
"Don't let them get close!" Teacher Li shouted.
Chen Yile activated the power of the runes, and the golden energy condensed into a sharp blade in his hand. He quickly cut through the surrounding black fog.
However, the leader grinned, suddenly stretched out his hand, and shot out a black energy wave, which directly hit Chen Yile's parents.
His parents were hit by a black energy wave, and their bodies began to gradually become transparent, as if they were about to disappear.
Just when Chen Yile fell into despair, he suddenly remembered the experience of the gatekeeper a hundred years ago, and he knew he had to make a sacrifice.
He closed his eyes and began to circulate the power of the runes. Golden energy boiled within him, and his body began to emit a dazzling light.
"No! Don't!" his parents and Teacher Li shouted at the same time.
Chen Yile didn't answer. His rune power reached its peak at this moment. A golden beam of energy shot out from his body and rushed directly towards the leader.
"Go to hell!" Chen Yile shouted.
The golden energy exploded instantly, and the leader's roar gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The figures of his parents returned to normal, but Chen Yile's body began to gradually disappear.
The parents and Teacher Li watched the scene in amazement.
His body gradually turned into a golden light and disappeared into the air.
The gate was finally sealed. Peace returned to the city, and people's lives returned to normal. However, a lingering shadow lingered in everyone's heart.
Teacher Li stood in the ruins, holding the rune that had not completely dissipated. She knew that this was not just an ordinary rune - it was a part of Chen Yile's soul.
"You will live in our hearts forever," she whispered.
The wind blew gently through the ruins, bringing a hint of warmth. Teacher Li looked up at the sky and seemed to see a golden light flickering in the distance.
She knew that somewhere far away, Chen Yile's soul might still be wandering around. He was still the brave gatekeeper, forever guarding the peace of this land.
