Song Yan had already understood.
Though Elder Black Lotus could still last a few more years, he felt that this "Four-Petaled Black Lotus Fire" was immensely sinister. He feared that if he died at the Dust Light Sect, it would bring disaster to Han Cai'Er and the island's inhabitants where the cultivators resided. Therefore, while he still had the strength, he crossed the vast sea, attempting to die in an uninhabited place.
However, he probably never expected the "Four-Petaled Black Lotus Fire" to erupt midway, causing him such a wretched state.
This was clearly a refined seed of fire, yet it continuously absorbed its master's life force and, when the master was about to die, it started to devour him.
Elder Black Lotus obviously didn't foresee encountering four Blue-Ghostly Ice Crystal Flood Dragons and being besieged by so many water beasts. He raised his head painfully and let out a sharp howl.
At that moment...
Whoosh!
