Although the sound of the bell stopped, it still reverberated around the palace.
Zong Shou's expression was slightly solemn as he looked towards Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan. Only to see that the 2 of them had serious expressions on their faces.
Even Chu Xue released Zong Shou's hand and looked towards the direction of the bell.
Zong Shou thought about it for a moment before his brows furrowed. He directly drove his sword and flew towards the east gate of the palace. The rest of the people followed closely behind.
The tens of miles of distance was covered in just a few breaths. At this moment, the tens of thousands of disciples in the palace all rushed over from all directions. They all seemed to know something as they silently lined up on both sides of the palace gate.
The current Zong Shou, be it in the common people's vast habitat or the 3 sects and 6 schools, was already famous. He was the true top disciple of the palace and was also one of the rare 3rd generation core disciples.
Everyone who recognized him all stopped and bowed towards him when they passed by.
After reaching the palace gate, no one dared to get close. They all stood far away, leaving an empty space for Zong Shou.
This made it easy for Zong Yuan and Zhao Yanran as they didn't need to squeeze together with the other disciples.
After waiting for a short while, he heard another bell ring and the door to the dao palace suddenly opened.
He saw over a hundred people standing outside with blank expressions on their faces. They were all around 30 to 40 years old. Their faces were either tired or expressionless. Only a few of them didn't speak, but their eyes were filled with sharpness.
The person at the front was really outstanding. Although he was wearing a simple robe and his face was thin, his calm and magnanimous aura made Zong Shou think about Wei Xu right away.
Just at this moment, he heard a bell-like male voice ring out at the entrance of the palace, "I congratulate all of you on returning to Cang Shengdao palace!"
Zong Shou glanced over, only to see that the person who spoke was a 30 year old middle-aged man. He wore a confucian robe, looking young but had a head full of white hair. His current expression was filled with indescribable emotions.
He recognized this person. It was Fangwen, the current palace head of the common people's palace. If one were to talk about Tanqiu's identity. This person could be considered his senior brother.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of disciples all had solemn expressions as they bowed towards the entrance.
"We welcome all of you back to our Cang Shengdao!"
Those hundreds of middle-aged disciples were startled. Even those who were completely numb and lifeless raised their heads. Their eyes shone brightly.
Only the person at the front didn't notice. His body trembling as he walked through the door. When he passed by Fangwen, the latter couldn't help but frown, "Junior brother …"
That middle-aged man didn't bother at all. After walking through the door, he silently raised his head and looked into the sky. His eyes were looking in the direction of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the atmosphere near the palace was filled with shock and excitement. Although everyone was silent, it was obvious that they were suppressing their emotions. He was like a dormant volcano, pressing the lava into his chest and abdomen.
Zong Shou didn't feel anything, carefully looking at that middle-aged man who had a special aura, similar to Wei Xu.
He thought to himself that this person was definitely that Xuexi. Even Hanfang paid a lot of attention to him.
In the next instant, Xue Xi suddenly burst into tears and knelt down in front of the Ancestral Hall. He actually kowtowed meticulously.
The hundreds of disciples behind him couldn't help but tear up, following behind Xuexi and kowtowing 3 times and 9 times.
Among the crowd, there were several hundred plus people that also knelt down. However, they were bowing deeply to the hundred plus people on the path.
Zong Shou found it weird, following which he heard Zhao Yanran explain, "These people participated in the Yan City Pass battle before, but they were lucky enough to escape. It was said that these people who were captured didn't care about their lives and went all out to cover the back. After hearing that they were going to return to the sect, they all rushed back … "
Hearing those few words, Zong Shou was totally speechless. Zong Yuan at the side was slightly distracted as he looked at the tomb, muttering, "Now I finally know why the Cang Shengdao 3 sects and 6 schools can go up against both the righteous and demon paths and not be defeated for 10,000 years."
Although Ruoshui didn't speak, her expression was really solemn.
After Xuexi completed this huge bow, he stood up. His gaze swept the crowd, only when it swept past Zong Shou did he stop, lightly nodding his head as a bow. His eyes were filled with gratitude, but he didn't come over to speak.
Zong Shou smiled, knowing what he meant. This meant that he didn't need words to thank him for his kindness. The friendship between gentlemen was as light as water, there was no need to show it on one's face.
Xuexi then shifted his gaze and looked into the sky once more. His eyes were filled with joy and excitement, but also guilt as he bowed once more.
Zong Shou followed his gaze and looked over, only to see that 2 more people had appeared in the sky.
One of them was Hanfang, the other was a black-robed taoist, his old face was filled with sadness and joy.
Zong Shou's brows furrowed, thinking to himself that this person was Xuexi's master? To be able to stand side by side with Hanfang, he was probably someone from the 2nd generation of Cang Shengdao.
At this moment, Zong Shou didn't know that just as he was sizing up the 2 people above. Hanfang and the black-robed taoist were also discussing him.
"This person is the disciple that Wei Xu accepted on behalf of senior master Xuan Shuang. You are my youngest Junior Brother right now? I have seen his sword technique images, grade-6 realm, to actually be able to create his own sword technique. Let's not talk about talent, but his comprehension ability is top within our sect. This time I should be grateful to him. "
"That's right!"
Hanfang smiled as he looked below at the teen who was squinting his eyes, following which he nodded his head in agreement, "I know that senior brother Weitian has always seen Xuexi as your own son. This time for Xuexi to be able to break free, you should be grateful to him! "
The black-robed taoist coldly glanced at Hanfang, knowing that this person was still blaming him for leaving the sect and not returning for 20 years.
Although Hanfang had a calm temperament among his fellow disciples, he was also the one with the least tolerance.
Just as he was about to mock him, it turned into a sigh, "It isn't that I hate the sect, but every time I come to Cang Shengdao palace, I can't help but think about him. I can't let go of this knot in my heart. Junior brother Zong Shou's kindness is something I will naturally repay. The way junior brother Wei Xu does things is so unreliable. Only this time to accept this kid into the sect was really wise … "
Hanfang felt a little ashamed, laughing out loud, "Why are you saying all this for? However, today this junior nephew Xuexi really surprised me. 20 years of imprisonment and torture didn't cause him to sink. Looking at his soul, it is perfect and filled with spiritual light. His current heart and potential is actually several times better than Fangwen's. These 20 years of setbacks are probably a good thing for him instead. "
Weitian smiled and didn't agree or disagree. In the next instance, the entrance of the palace was dead silent.
Only to see that Xuexi had casually borrowed a long sword from the waist of a nearby Cang Shengdao disciple. Following which he didn't hesitate to slice open his own wrist.
"Today Xuexi wants to imitate the Buddhist Sect Venerables and make 3 oaths. First, I am willing to use my entire life. Let my Cang Shengdao prosper forever and fulfill the wishes of the ancestor! Second, I want everyone who participated in the Yan City Pass incident to pay with their blood … "
As he said that, the ten thousand disciples nearby all exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with shock.
Xuexi's voice also paused and he took in a deep breath.
"Third, Xuexi wants to personally crush that Tailing Shrine within 3 thousand years! Let that Tailing Sect be wiped out! "
When he said that, the entire Cang Shengdao palace was covered in wind and lightning, dark clouds spreading.
Waves of black aura surged from all directions and charged towards Xue Xi.
Around Xuexi's body, a golden glow appeared and repelled the black energy. It caused it to bare its fangs and claws to be unable to get close at all.
His expression was even more solemn and filled with determination.
"Fellow sect members, please be my witness. If I go against this oath, in the future my soul will be burned up and I will die!"
When he finished speaking, an aura suddenly burst out from Xue Xi's body. It rose all the way up and charged into the sky.
In the end, it spread all about, vast soul power crushing all around. Pretty much everyone below grade 6 couldn't take it and knelt on the ground.
There were less than 1500 people who could stand. Their faces were covered in cold sweat and filled with shock.
"This is grade 9?"
Zong Shou's heart was also filled with shock. Before this, when Xuexi stepped into the common people palace, he was obviously only grade 7.
However, in that instance, he had climbed 2 grades!
"This phenomenon should be the sign of the oath sealing heaven and earth …"
Zhao Yanran was startled as she looked on, not knowing what to do. Zong Yuan was also speechless. This situation was the same as when Zong Shou made a blood oath to be his servant. However, this aura was tens of times greater.
Xuan Yunlan's brows furrowed as she looked at the black energy, "This is formed by the formless god demon, the evil thoughts of the people in the world. Although this great senior master Xuexi copied the Buddhist techniques, he didn't use the essence of it. Although he is borrowing the power of the heart demon to raise his cultivation potential. However, if he can't do it within 3 thousand years, he will definitely die. He would definitely perish, his entire body burning with flames, becoming the nourishment of these devils!
Zong Shou was still startled, not knowing what to say. However, he could hear the decisiveness and bone-deep hatred in Xuexi's words.
With such a huge Heaven and Earth Anomaly, he had probably saved an incredible person this time.
In his heart, he couldn't help but pray for the Han King. His highness had better pray for himself. Out of the people who participated in the Yan City Pass incident, this Han King was an extremely important person.
The hundreds of returning disciples behind Xuexi were also startled. However, when they came back to their senses, they all sliced open their wrists.
"… I am willing to follow the oath!"
"I want to rise up Cang Shengdao! I want to take revenge for my senior brothers! I want to wipe out that Tailing Sect! "
Thunder rumbled in the air. Fengtian sighed, "Idiot! Idiot "(To be continued). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
