Chapter 423: Will You Join My Heavenly Sword Sect?
Chapter 423: Will You Join My Heavenly Sword Sect?
"This is not sentimental nonsense."
Nie Jun shook his head, still maintaining his posture of offering the badge.
In his life, there weren't many people he truly cared about.
Nor did he have any grand ambitions to save the world.
If he had to say what he cared about, it would probably only be his fellow disciples from the Tung Tree Mountain.
Earlier, Shen Yi's seemingly casual greeting to Zhang Laifu could be considered a forceful retrieval of their lives from the hands of Yama.
At least on this day, when he became the sect master, the other party deserved his bow of respect.
The crowd that had finally arrived all stopped in their tracks, quietly observing the scene before them.
In fact, no more words were needed.
What had transpired here was known throughout the land.
They had all witnessed Shen Yi impaling the old dog's neck with the Purple Cloud God Thunder Sword.
Now, clad in a white robe, he was truly worthy of the title.
"..."
As more and more people gathered, their piercing gazes converged on Shen Yi.
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with all the attention.
He slowly stood up, took the badge from Nie Jun, turned his back to the crowd, and faced the grand hall.
Finally, the Thousand Demon Cave had been thoroughly cleansed.
He looked at the badge in his hand, and a smile appeared on his bloodstained face.
It seemed like he could finally take a break and go out to see the world.
The white robe fluttered slightly.
The golden Nan Yang pattern on it glowed softly, slightly masking the intense killing intent that permeated the young man's body.
The disciples of Tung Tree Mountain, as well as several people from Da Qian and Xu's family, couldn't help but follow him.
They had thought that Shen Yi would directly enter the beam of light.
Unexpectedly, after keeping the old dog's corpse in his storage treasure tool, he slowly walked to the small pavilion behind the statue of the sect's ancestor.
"..."
Shen Yi looked at the nearby objects, which were mostly scrolls, neatly arranged.
He randomly took out two scrolls, which seemed to record the past events of the Nan Yang Sect.
It was unknown if there were any cultivation techniques hidden within.
Shen Yi was about to search through them one by one when he suddenly realized something.
If all the cultivators from before had disappeared.
Then, with the badge in his hand, he could freely open the formation in the secret law pavilion and no longer needed to be so frugal in searching for fortuitous encounters among the miscellaneous objects.
In other words, he could use anything within the Thousand Demon Cave as he pleased.
With this thought, Shen Yi walked past the scrolls and headed straight for the deepest part of the pavilion, where there were about a dozen or so treasure tools on display, all of which had been carefully selected by the old dog.
However, there were only a few remaining, as most had been distributed to the demons earlier.
Shen Yi noticed a jade thumb ring and casually slipped it onto his thumb.
As expected, it was a storage treasure tool, and the space within was larger than all of his tattered bags combined.
Reasonably, these should be the foundation of the sect.
However, the Thousand Demon Cave was still in disarray, so it was better for him to keep them safe for now.
He gently flicked his sleeve, storing all the treasure tools into the thumb ring, intending to study them at his leisure later.
After doing all this, Shen Yi finally returned to the main hall.
Facing the crowd who were quietly waiting for him, their anticipation barely contained, he took a deep breath.
He, too, looked at the beam of light.
Then, Shen Yi slowly took a step forward, his figure rippling within the light.
...
On a steep mountain stood a huge platform nearly three hundred feet wide, made of white jade-like material.
Upon it was a Nan Yang relief sculpture, accompanied by eight straight columns with intricate dragon and phoenix carvings. Their grandeur supported a stone carving in the shape of a grand sun disc.
Just in front of her, at the edge of the platform where the mountain cliff met the sky, sat a creature.
The reason it was called a "creature" was that although it had a human form, its body was covered in dry tree bark, and vines even grew from it.
It sat there, connected to the mountain, as if it had been there for ages.
Ye Wenxuan had never imagined that after barely escaping the clutches of that old dog, she would encounter such a terrifying existence.
If Zhang Laifu gave her the feeling of an insurmountable steep cliff, then this monster before her didn't even give her the courage to look directly at it.
The mere presence of the creature made Ye Wenxuan stand there motionless.
Could it be that the outside world is even more dangerous than what she experienced within the Nan Yang Sect?
Just then, Ye Wenxuan heard several whooshing sounds.
Swish! Swish!
Soon, she saw six Dao plaques approaching from the horizon, encircling the entire platform and hovering in the air, emitting a soft glow.
Ye Wenxuan was so startled that she stumbled.
Her whole body tensed up.
But she realized that the Dao plaques didn't seem to be targeting her.
Unconsciously, she turned her head and saw more than a dozen familiar figures.
The young man at the forefront still had bloodstains on his body, but the white robe of the Nan Yang Sect was so eye-catching, creating a stark contrast with the one she wore.
He... he won?!
Ye Wenxuan stood there in a daze, suddenly feeling intense regret.
She saw Tong Xinquan and Nie Jun behind Shen Yi, both of them unscathed, and with her strength, it would be impossible for anything to happen to her.
If only she had observed a little longer.
Feeling the complex gazes from her fellow disciples, Ye Wenxuan slowly clenched her fists, coldly hmphed, and turned her gaze away.
Regardless, she had achieved her goal.
From now on, she could step into this true world, roam the four seas, and continue seeking the Great Dao.
"..."
Shen Yi was also stunned for a moment.
Not because Ye Wenxuan was still there, but because he never expected to witness such a scene upon leaving.
The Dao plaque in his hand vibrated slightly, seemingly responding to the six Dao plaques in the sky.
This movement easily brought to mind the so-called Alliance Sect.
But the fact that he had only just stepped out of the Nan Yang Sect and already attracted their attention indicated that they had been watching this place all along.
If that was the case... why hadn't they entered the Nan Yang Sect for almost a hundred thousand years? Why did they just stand by and watch as the old dog wreaked havoc inside?
Just then, a solemn middle-aged voice emanated from one of the Dao plaques in the sky, which was engraved with a crescent moon pattern, carrying a hint of barely perceptible joy: "Welcome back."
Before the voice faded, another Dao plaque, engraved with a sword pattern, finally spoke up.
Not only did it emit a voice, but a hologram also appeared above it, depicting a middle-aged man with a long beard, sharp eyebrows, and a piercing gaze.
He scanned the group with a keen eye: "All of you are promising talents, able to escape from the Hidden Abyss, possessing the dragon's visage."
Immediately after, he directed his gaze at Shen Yi and said bluntly, "Are you willing to join my Heavenly Sword Sect? Regardless of your cultivation level, you will all be accepted as inner disciples. If you are diligent and hardworking, you may even have the opportunity to become my personal disciples in the future."
