Wu Zonglie and company were even more alarmed. With Sei Gasakai's current status overseas, even if those famous devils came, they would have to treat Sei Gasakai politely. There was no reason for him to let Sei Gasakai come out to welcome them.
Now, not only had Sei Gasakai come out to welcome them, but he had even come half a street away. From the looks of it, if Zhou Wen hadn't entered Fuji Island, he would probably have gone out to welcome them.
The ordinary disciples on the way didn't know what had happened, but when they saw Sei Gasakai appear on the long street, they automatically retreated to the side and stopped to watch.
Soon, Sei Gasakai arrived near Zhou Wen. Sei Gasakai originally wanted to walk in front of Zhou Wen, but he seemed to think of something and stopped a few steps away from Zhou Wen.
"All disciples of the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū, listen up," Sei Gasakai said solemnly as his voice spread throughout the entire Niten Flying Immortal Palace.
The disciples in the palace looked at Sei Gasakai and respectfully waited for his orders.
"Homecoming," Sei Gasakai said.
Everyone was taken aback, but they quickly reacted. They knelt on the ground and unsheathed the sabers at their waists. They carefully placed the sabers and scabbard on the ground in front of them.
Homecoming was a ritual of the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. Typically, when juniors sought guidance from seniors, they would respectfully place the sabers in front of the other party as a form of seeking guidance.
However, Sei Gasakai had no idea what he meant by asking them to homecoming.
However, Sei Gasakai was the creator of the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. He was like a god in the hearts of his disciples, so naturally, no one dared to question his orders. Although they didn't understand, they did as he said.
On the long street, only Zhou Wen, Ji Moqing, and Sei Gasakai were still standing.
Sei Gasakai pulled out his two sabers from his waist and held them with both hands. He offered them to Zhou Wen. "Sir, Sei Gasakai doesn't dare wear a sword in front of you. Please accept it."
The moment he said that, many disciples were shocked speechless. Sei Gasakai was publicly recognized as the number one swordsman overseas. Although he was not the strongest overseas in terms of level and strength, he was the true number one in terms of the realm of swordsmanship.
Many famous experts overseas, such as powerful existences like Uesugi Nao, had once consulted Sei Gasakai about Sword Dao and benefited greatly.
Sei Gasakai was no longer just a person, but a symbol of a spirit. To be recognized as a Sword Sage overseas, one could imagine his position in the hearts of many overseas experts.
However, such a person actually claimed that he didn't dare wear a sword in front of Zhou Wen. It was as though wearing a sword in front of Zhou Wen was an insult to swords. How could they not be alarmed?
Wu Zonglie was dumbfounded. He originally imagined that Zhou Wen and Sei Gasakai were old acquaintances or were related by blood. That was why Sei Gasakai had made a disciple like Honn Shinsakura treat him as an elder.
But from the looks of it, that wasn't the case at all. Sei Gasakai's actions were truly surprising.
This fellow must be a super devil … Could he be Jing Daoxian … Ji Moqing was alarmed. Apart from Jing Daoxian, she really couldn't think of anyone else who was worthy of Sei Gasakai's treatment.
"I haven't used a weapon in a long time. Put it away," Zhou Wen said indifferently.
Sei Gasakai bowed slightly before putting away the two sabers. However, he didn't wear them again. Instead, he threw the two sabers on the ground and said to the disciples, "If not for Mr. Zhou, there wouldn't be the present Niten Flying Immortal-ryū. In the future, you have to be more respectful to him than to me. If you show any disrespect, I will personally kill you."
With that said, he held Zhou Wen's hand and walked to his residence.
The disciples knelt on the ground and placed their sabers on the ground as they watched Zhou Wen and Sei Gasakai leave in a daze.
Only when the two of them entered Sei Gasakai's Sword Sage Palace did Honn Shinsakura put away his saber and stand up. Then, he bowed slightly in the direction of Sword Sage Palace before retreating.
"The Great Devil … He must be a super Great Devil … Who is he? Could he really be Jing Daoxian? But I heard that Jing Daoxian looks like an old man … Ji Moqing's mind raced as she felt that she was extremely unlucky. She never expected to encounter such a devil while escaping.
Sei Gasakai was a martial arts fanatic as he dragged Zhou Wen to discuss the Sword Dao.
If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be difficult for them to communicate normally with this elder who was known as a Sword Sage. However, Zhou Wen had been trapped for a hundred years. He had long deduced the Heart Defying Sword formed from the three thousand sword intents to its limits.
He didn't dare say much about anything else, but in terms of Sword Dao realm, even Sei Gasakai was far inferior to him.
Furthermore, the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū that Sei Gasakai created was partially inspired by Zhou Wen's Transcendent Flying Immortal. Some of the details that Zhou Wen mentioned often made Sei Gasakai feel enlightened.
Zhou Wen didn't know if he should be happy or sad. His Transcendent Flying Immortal had actually shone brilliantly overseas. This was something he had never imagined before.
However, from the looks of it, the conflict between the Federation and overseas was actually nothing. There were too many existential crises facing humanity, so they couldn't care less about internal strife.
Sei Gasakai also shared some of his insights and Sword Dao experiences and asked for Zhou Wen's guidance.
After Zhou Wen heard that, he couldn't help but admire Sei Gasakai. He was indeed a genius in the Sword Dao. Many of the insights that Sei Gasakai had mentioned were things that Zhou Wen had only figured out after being trapped for decades.
However, as Zhou Wen needed to cultivate more Essence Energy Arts, he didn't focus on his sword all the time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken him so long.
Zhou Wen's occasional pointers hit Sei Gasakai's heart. It hit the nail on the head, making Sei Gasakai worship him like a god.
If everything that Sei Gasakai had done previously was because he didn't forget his roots and was grateful to Zhou Wen, then Sei Gasakai was truly convinced. He almost considered himself his disciple.
Their discussion was interrupted when a train's whistle sounded. Just as Zhou Wen was wondering why there was a train here, a disciple came in in a panic to report that a dimensional creature that looked like a train was rushing towards Fuji Island.
Zhou Wen was somewhat curious as he followed Sei Gasakai out to take a look.
Soon, Zhou Wen, who was outside, saw a train.
The shape of the train looked like an ancient steam train. However, the front of the locomotive looked like the skull of a cow, while the carriage at the back looked like a huge black coffin.
In the dark night, it traveled over the sea, but the wheels burned with blue flames. It was like a Ghost Train from hell.
Wherever the Ghost Train went, the seawater surged over, transforming into huge waves that slammed into the island. Ordinary waves naturally couldn't threaten the disciples of the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū, but after the waves passed, the disciples who were drenched by the waves seemed to have lost their minds. They actually walked towards the Ghost Train, unable to be stopped.
