Chapter 423: Joining the Heavenly Sword Sect
Chapter 423: Joining the Heavenly Sword Sect
"This isn't being sentimental."
Nie Jun shook his head, still maintaining the posture of presenting the Dao Plate.
In his life, there weren't many people he truly cared about.
Nor did he possess a grand ambition to save the world.
If he had to say what he cared about, it would probably only be the group of fellow disciples from Wutong Mountain.
Earlier, when Shen Yi casually greeted Zhang Laifu, it was as if he had forcefully snatched the lives of those people back from King Yama himself.
At least today, as the Sect Master, he deserved a bow from Shen Yi.
Finally arriving at their destination, everyone stopped in their tracks and quietly watched the scene unfold before them.
There was no need for many words.
Everyone knew what had happened here.
They had all witnessed Shen Yi piercing the Purple Heaven Thunder Sword into the old dog's neck.
Now, wearing a white robe, he truly lived up to his name.
"..."
As more and more people gathered, their gazes, as bright as torches, were fixed upon him.
Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Then, he slowly stood up, took the Dao Plate from Nie Jun, turned his back to the crowd, and walked towards the grand hall.
Finally, the Thousand Demon Cavern was thoroughly cleaned out.
He looked at the Dao Plate in his hand, and a smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
It seemed like he could finally take a break and go out to enjoy the scenery.
The white robe fluttered slightly.
The Nanyang Golden Patterns on it shimmered with gentle flowing light, slightly concealing the intense killing aura that permeated his entire being.
The disciples of Wutong Mountain and several people from Great Qian and the Xu family unconsciously followed behind him.
They thought Shen Yi would directly step into that ray of light.
Unexpectedly, after putting the old dog's corpse into a storage artifact, he calmly walked to the small cabinet behind the Sage Statue.
"..."
Shen Yi looked at the neatly arranged objects nearby, most of which were the type of scrolls he had seen before.
He randomly took out two scrolls, seemingly records of the Nanyang Sect's past events.
He didn't know if they contained cultivation methods inside.
Shen Yi was about to search through them one by one, but suddenly realized something.
If those cultivators from the past had disappeared,
Then with the Dao Plate in his hand, he could freely open the arrays in the Law Repository and no longer needed to be so frugal, searching for opportunities in the pile of miscellaneous items.
In other words, all the items within the Thousand Demon Cavern were at his disposal.
With this thought, Shen Yi walked straight past the scrolls towards the shelves at the deepest part of the room. Here, about a dozen artifacts were displayed, carefully selected by the old dog.
However, after distributing some to the demons, the remaining number was slightly less.
Shen Yi noticed a jade ring and casually put it on his thumb.
As expected, it was a storage artifact, and the space inside was larger than all his tattered bags combined.
Logically, these were the foundation of the sect.
But currently, the Thousand Demon Cavern was still in disarray, so it was better for him to take care of them first.
He gently waved his sleeves, storing all the artifacts into the ring, to be slowly studied later when he had time.
After doing all this, Shen Yi returned to the grand hall.
He looked at the crowd, who were trying their best to contain their anticipation and waiting quietly for him.
Taking a deep breath, he also looked at the ray of light.
Following closely, Shen Yi slowly stepped forward, his figure shimmering within the ray of light.
...
On the steep mountain peak was a massive platform nearly three hundred zhang wide, made of white jade-like material.
On it, a Nanyang bas-relief was carved, and beside it stood eight straight pillars, adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings, grand and majestic. They collectively held up a stone carving resembling a large sun.
And right on this spacious platform, Ye Wenxuan surprisingly hadn't left. Instead, she stood there awkwardly with her hands hanging by her sides, even her smooth forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
In front of her, at the edge of the platform, a figure sat cross-legged on the cliff.
The reason it was referred to as an "object" was that although it had a human form, its entire body was covered in withered tree bark, and vines even grew on its body.
It was connected to the Nanyang Mountain below, and who knows how long it had been sitting there.
Ye Wenxuan had never imagined that after barely escaping the clutches of an old dog, she would encounter such a terrifying existence.
If Zhang Laifu gave her the feeling of an unreachable steep cliff, then the monster before her even made her lose the courage to look directly at it.
The creature merely sat there quietly, causing Ye Wenxuan to stand there in a daze for a long time, not daring to move.
Could it be that the outside world is actually more dangerous than within the Southern Yang Sect? Just then, Ye Wenxuan suddenly heard several sounds of breaking wind.
Rustle!
Following that, she saw six Dao plates flying in from the horizon, surrounding the entire platform, and hanging in the air, emitting a faint glow.
Ye Wenxuan was so startled that she stumbled.
Her whole body tensed up.
However, she realized that those Dao plates didn't seem to be aimed at her.
Instinctively, she turned back and saw more than ten familiar figures.
The youth at the forefront still had bloodstains on his body that hadn't dried, but the Southern Yang white robe he wore was so dazzling, forming a stark contrast with the one she wore.
He... he won?! Ye Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, deep regret welled up in her heart.
She saw Tongxin Zhuan and Nie Jun behind Shen Yi, and even these two were unharmed, making it even more impossible for her to have any chance against them.
If only she had observed a little longer.
After sensing the complex gazes from the group of disciples, Ye Wenxuan clenched her fists and coldly humphed, turning her gaze away.
No matter what, her goal had been achieved.
From now on, she could step into this true realm, roam the four seas, and continue her pursuit of the Great Dao.
"..."
Shen Yi also paused for a moment, not because Ye Wenxuan was still there, but because he had never imagined that after leaving, he would witness such a scene.
The Dao plate in his hand trembled slightly, seemingly responding to the six Dao plates above.
This movement was easily associated with the allied sect.
But he had just stepped out of the Southern Yang Sect, and they had already noticed him, indicating that they had been paying attention to this place all along.
Since that's the case... why haven't they entered the Southern Yang Sect for nearly a hundred thousand years? Why did they just watch as the old dog wreaked havoc inside?
Just then, from a Dao plate with a crescent pattern, a middle-aged man's voice with a hint of seriousness and a trace of subtle joy emerged: "Welcome back."
Before the voice faded, another Dao plate with a sword pattern finally spoke.
Not only did it emit a sound, but a figure of a middle-aged man with a long beard sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion also appeared above it.
He was also a middle-aged man with a long beard, sharp eyes, and an imposing aura.
He scanned the crowd: "All of you are excellent seeds, able to escape from the hidden abyss, and possess a dragon-like appearance."
Then, he fixed his gaze on Shen Yi and said solemnly: "Are you willing to join my Heavenly Sword Sect? Regardless of your cultivation level, you can all enter the inner sect to cultivate. If you are diligent and hardworking, you will also have the opportunity to become direct disciples in the future."
