Without a second word, Wang Lianshan mounted his flying sword and flew into the distance. But, before the Sect members could react, there was a flash of light that flew back and landed before them. It was Wang Lianshan yet again.
He had returned after just a moment. Wang Lianshan’s eyes were bloodshot as he came before Mo Rushi and kowtowed on the ground with a thud, solemnly saying: “Uncle Mo, please forgive your Junior for greatly offending you! Please forgive my past grievances and tell me which direction Cultivator Gui Xiao went!”
As the matter was of his Sect’s treasure, Wang Lianshan had seemed to have a change of face, no longer daring to disregard even the slightest of formalities before Mo Rushi. He wasn’t afraid of Mo Rushi tricking him. After all, as Gui Xiao had used the Nine Starred Black Bamboo here, Wu Zhu would naturally be able to discern between reality and falsehood.
Mo Rushi wanted Wu Zhu to go after Gu Xiao. Naturally, he wouldn’t fuss with them on these terms. He turned and pointed in the direction Gui Xiao had gone.
“Thank you. Thank you, Uncle Mo. Regardless of whether we can recover our Sect’s treasure, we will never forget the great mercies of Uncle Mo.” After Wang Lianshan finished speaking, he kowtowed one last time and mounted his sword, disappearing again in the distance.
However, hearing Wang Lianshan’s words, Luo Miao’s face grew dark. Was this just formalities from Wang Lianshan? Or was this his true heartfelt words? This was truly a question worthy of calculation.
“Who would have thought that the long lost Nine Starred Black Bamboo of the Wu ZHu Sect would appear with Cultivator Gui Xiao. Your Junior will first take his leave to report this to the Sect. Perhaps we may be of assistance to Wu Zhu and help them capture Gui Xiao.” Seeing that no one was siding with him, Luo Miao didn’t linger further on the matter of the students, deciding to bid farewell to Mo Rushi and part.
After Luo Miao’s leave, Li Fugui and Monk Hui Ming had some small talk with Mo Rushi before leaving as well. After all, their students were still waiting for them on the road. If any of them ran into Gui Xiao, it would be dangerous.
After the Four Sects had left, Jin Dasheng, who had been healing on the side, moved before Mo Rushi. From the color of his face, his wounds seemed to have healed pretty well.
At this time, dawn had broken. Mo Rushi decided to let Jin Dasheng take the students and move immediately. He himself, on the other hand, would bring Ye Zan with him back to the Sect.
“Then what about them? What if they run into Gui Xiao again?” Ye Zan asked worriedly after hearing Mo Rushi’s decision.
“After I bring you back, I will go escort them. My Junior, you need not worry.” Mo Rushi spoke as he brought out his flying sword. This old man was really insecure about leaving Ye Zan outside, deciding to take him back to the Sect first.
Flying swords were truly fast. It was no wonder Mo Rushi had been able to rush to their aid as fast as he had. In a slight moment, Mo Rushi, along with Ye Zan, had already landed before Yu Qing’s Hall of Jade Fountains.
At this time, the head of Yu Qing: Wu Changsheng was already waiting for them before the Halls entrance. Seeing Mo Rushi and Ye Zan had returned, he released an audible sigh, immediately walking to greet them.
Mo Rushi was about to give his report before Ye Zan hopped off the flying sword, shrugging his shoulders and saying: “Alright. Quick, go and escort Jin Dasheng and the others. I have something to say with Old Wu.”
“Alright,” Mo Rushi was naturally worried for Jin Dasheng and the other students. Thus, without an extra word, he turned on his flying sword and disappeared along the horizon.
After Mo Rushi had left, Ye Zan followed Wu Changsheng into the Hall. Accustomed to Ye Zan’s character, Wu Changsheng didn’t fuss much with seating formalities. Seeing where Ye Zan sat, he went to take the seat next to him.
Afterward, without waiting for Wu Changsheng to ask, Ye Zan had described what had happened that night. He didn’t put in much detail or over exaggerate anything. After all, he had almost been scared into peeing his pants. What was there to boast about?
Although Ye Zan brushed over it, Wu Changsheng still felt cold on his back when he described the dangers he had encountered. Wu Changsheng was scared to imagine what Yu Qing might face if they had let something happen to this Taishang.
Ye Zan didn’t know that he had just unconsciously blocked any chances he might have had in the future of leaving the Sect for training (vacationing).
“Taishang, this is our mismanagement in letting Taishang into such danger. It is a wrong worthy of ten thousand deaths.” Hearing Ye Zan’s description, Wu Changsheng immediately rose to apologize.
“Aye, don’t. Stop the jabber about “wrongs worthy of ten thousand deaths”. I’m fine, aren’t I?” Ye Zan hurriedly stood up to stop the old Wu Changsheng from kneeling to the ground.
Although with Ye Zan’s power, he would be completely unable to stop Wu Changsheng. However, Wu Changsheng did not dare hurt this Taishang Great Uncle for trying to stop him from kneeling in apology. Furthermore, he didn’t really want to kneel. Thus, he took the step down and rose, obediently allowing Ye Zan to press him back into his seat.
“Old Wu, I’m telling you. If you hadn’t let me go with them this time, then Yu Qing’s losses would truly be large.” Finishing the report on his embarrassments, Ye Zan returned to his seat and began to proudly speak of his accomplishments.
Wu Changhseng was so preoccupied with Ye Zan’s safety that he had not yet had the time to ask about the things within the Closed Realm as well as their gatherings. Hearing Ye Zan’s words, he couldn’t help but ask: “I don’t know what Taishang means.”
Ye Zan opened his mouth, scratching his head and realized that: this. was. not. easy. to. explain. Giving up, he shrugged and said: “You’ll never believe what you hear, only what you see. Let’s not talk about the unbelievable things. I’ll show you something and you’ll understand what I mean.”
Saying this, Ye Zan looked around him before rising to walk to the center of the hall and pressing on the artificial intelligence system on his wrist. With his movement, a door of light measuring half a meter in length and width opened in the air like a doghole.
Seeing the dimension’s door, Wu Changsheng jumped up in shock. Wasn’t this the type of door from the Closed Realm!
“Taishang. Don’t tell me you brought the Closed Realm back!” Wu Changsheng shouted with an expression full of disbelief, losing all of the solemnity expected of a Head of the Sect.
However, hearing Wu Changsheng’s words, Ye Zan was put in an awkward situation. It was like someone bragging to another person about their monthly wage; trying to flaunt and raising 5 fingers for fifty thousand. However, the person they spoke to would astonishingly think that that meant five hundred thousand. How could they communicate from here?
Although Ye Zan had brought back a model of the Closed Realm’s Key, he was not yet in ownership of the Realm itself.
“Stop your imagination. Just wait and you’ll find out.” Ye Zan said impatiently, turning to order the robots to start throwing things out from within the dimension.
Ye Zan had thought over his decision of revealing the dimension to the public. Firstly, when he had formerly used it, although he had done it privately in his room, it wasn’t without evidence. Who wouldn’t ask of the origin of the things he brought out after seeing them?
Moreover, before when in danger in the mountainside, Ye Zan had already taken out the pieces for the microwave in public. How much help would blocking it with his hand do? So, he decided that it was okay for them to know. After all, he had the shield of Grandmaster Xuan Yuan. They could make up the rest with their own imagination.
Why the heck would you reveal it outside of danger and without trying to first develop something to block sight of it?!
