Chapter 303 Farewell Beyond the Western Pass
Lu Zhou thought about Gong Yuandu’s descriptions and recalled the sensation he felt while he was cultivating in seclusion. "The oldest mortal is only about 100 years old… Perhaps, cultivators are just a different kind of mortals."
Gong Yuandu glanced at Lu Zhou. His gaze slid across the white strands in Lu Zhou’s hair and said, "That’s a fresh way of explaining it, Brother Ji. You’ve changed… a lot."
They were old nemeses. In a way, old nemeses knew each other better than friends did.
Lu Zhou merely nodded ambiguously. He could never tell Gong Yuandu that he was actually another person from another world that was far away.
"You’ve changed as well," Lu Zhou said when he compared the person before him to the person in his memories. The Gong Yuandu o his memories was not an agreeable character.

The mountain was too small for two tigers. Gong Yuandu was sinister, patient, and sly in nature. He could endure what most could not, hiding away for 100 years in the Mausoleum of Swords. How could he live under the same roof with another elite? Perhaps, a dying man was kinder. The current Gong Yuandu was nothing like his former self.
After three rounds of drinks, the sun was beginning to set.
The sunlight fell upon Gong Yuandu at just the right angle. He was enjoying himself very much. He looked at Leng Luo, Pan Litian, and Hua Wudao who were standing nearby before looking at Duanmu Sheng, Little Yuan’er, and the others. Then, he surveyed the Evil Sky Pavilion. He said, "These two had a debate of swords with me…"
"Leng Luo," Leng Luo announced his own name again. Since Gong Yuandu was clearly not in peak condition, he thought, perhaps, Gong Yuandu’s memory was not very good as well.
Initially, Pan Litian was just going to refer to himself as the old beggar. However, after giving it some thought, he said truthfully, "I’m Pan… Litian."
Gong Yuandu was slightly taken aback. He said, "The greatest elite of Clarity Sect… I remember you."
"I’m flattered."
"The former Sect Master Ren of the Clarity Sect had passed away. You fought against the eight elders, and I heard that you were injured. Then, you were rescued by the Fourth Prince and was brought to the borders, right?" Gong Yuandu regarded Pan Litian with a puzzled gaze.
The others looked at Pan Litian.
‘Was this the reason why Pan Litian left the Clarity Sect?’ "That’s all in the past. There’s no use in bringing them up now," Pan Litian said, waving his hand dismissively. It was also unimportant to ask how Gong Yuandu knew about this.
"Brother Ji, I must say that you’re really skilled. You even managed to tame old men such as Leng Luo and Pan Litian… I’m impressed." After Gong Yuandu finished speaking, he coughed violently again. Although there was no blood, it seemed like his hair had whitened even more. He had aged tremendously in just a moment.
A person who had exhausted his blood and essence was the same as a person who had used up all of his life force in exchange for a short period boost in cultivation base through unconventional methods. Even Critical Heal could not help him now. Even if it could, Lu Zhou did not think he would use it on Gong Yuandu. After all, Gong Yuandu had intended to kill him with his shocking move earlier.
