In fact, Black Water, Black Buddha, and the other Chi Xiao people were not people who could not stay idle, nor did they want to live a good life. However, if they had to fight and kill and do something earth-shattering, it was not that they were unwilling to do so.
The reason why they repeatedly hoped that Gu Qingfeng would come back and make a comeback was because they missed the crazy days when they followed King Chixiao to conquer the world.
Since King Chixiao was judged by the Immortal Dao 300 years ago, although each of them had made a name for themselves, and many of them had established their own families and had many children and grandchildren, deep in their hearts, they had always felt empty, lost, and hesitant. Lost and hesitant, they had lost interest in cultivation.
They had always been waiting, waiting for the King to return, to rebuild Chi Xiao, and lead them to restore the glory of the past.
Whether it was Black Water or Black Buddha, they all felt that as long as they could continue to follow King Chixiao, they would do anything. Even if they had to follow the King every day, they would be willing to do anything.
Although it was very childish.
All of them wanted to be childish again.
Unfortunately.
They knew that this was no longer possible.
Gu Qingfeng's words were very clear. He did not want to suffer anymore, and he also hoped that the Chi Xiao brothers would not suffer anymore.
Since it was enough that they had been glorious, let the past be the past.
This made Black Buddha, Black Water, and the other Chi Xiao people inevitably feel a little disappointed.
They thought so.
And Gu Qingfeng was the same.
If he could, he also wanted to eat meat and drink wine with his brothers, just like in the past.
However, he could only think about it.
Now, this group of Chi Xiao brothers had all established their own families and had many children and grandchildren. It was impossible for them to be like in the ancient times, where they would gather together to laugh and curse and drink blood all day long.
Most importantly, Gu Qingfeng was very clear that his existence could not be tolerated by the Great Dao, nor by heaven and earth. He could be destroyed at any time.
Back then, he had led those brothers to conquer the world, and many of them had died. Even now, he still felt very apologetic in his heart. In this ancient era, he did not want to implicate anyone, especially this group of Chi Xiao brothers who had gone through life and death with him.
Looking at Black Water, Black Buddha, and the other Chi Xiao people's sad faces, Gu Qingfeng said, "Alright, I'm back now. I won't leave anytime soon. Let's get together more often, drink, and have some fun."
Black Water complained, "It's just that we can't leave for a while. We'll have to leave in the end."
"I say, Ergou, I didn't realize you had this problem before. Why are you acting like a woman now? So pretentious."
Black Buddha teased, "He was taught by his wife."
"Get lost!"
Black Water and Black Buddha teased each other, which immediately eased the heavy atmosphere. Seizing this opportunity, Gu Qingfeng said, "Ergou, I'll give you a task. You'll be responsible for contacting our brothers back then. Let's find a time and place to meet."
"That's great!"
Black Water was a person who liked to be in a lively situation. He had long wanted to meet his brothers back then. But soon, he realized a serious problem. He said, "Our brothers in Chi Xiao Sect back then are either in seclusion or in closed-door training. Some of them can be contacted, but some of them have not been heard from since you left. No one even knows if they're dead or alive."
"First, contact those who can be contacted. As for those who have not been heard from, contact them if you can. Forget it if you can't."
Gu Qingfeng thought for a while and asked, "Do any of you know anything about the Old Master and the Grand Master?"
The people in Chi Xiao Sect shook their heads. Black Buddha Dong Laohu said, "After you were judged by the Immortal Way, the demons and devils wreaked havoc in the world. The Old Master issued the Order of Chishang and called on his brothers to quell the chaos. After that, he left. We've been looking for him all these years, but we haven't found him yet. No one knows where he went after he left."
"If the Old Master wanted to live in seclusion, let alone you, I'm afraid I can't find him either."
The Old Master was definitely an enigmatic master, at least in Gu Qingfeng's mind. In his impression, there was nothing in the world that the Old Master did not know. If it were not for the Old Master's guidance, there would not be King Chixiao.
Besides the Old Master, there was another master in Chi Xiao Sect. It was the Grand Master.
If the Old Master was an enigmatic master, then the Grand Master was an enigmatic master.
The Old Master knew everything in the world.
On the other hand, the Grand Master knew everything in the world.
It was no exaggeration to say that there was no Theurgy in the world that the Grand Master was not proficient in. Whether it was the Immortal Way or the Devil Way, the 3,000 Great Ways or the unorthodox ways, he was proficient in all of them.
Back then, it was the Old Master's idea that Gu Qingfeng had faked his death under the Immortal Dao's trial to deceive the world. However, the supernatural power of deceiving the world and not dispersing the soul and resurrecting the dead was learned from the Eldest Master.
"There's no news of the Old Master. What about the Grand Master?"
"Like the Old Master, no one knows the whereabouts of the First Master."
Elder Mei suddenly said, "This … King, I think I know something about the Grand Master's whereabouts."
"Oh?"
"The Grand Master has been living in seclusion in the Shangqing Sect all these years."
Hearing this, Black Water immediately asked, "Elder Mei, how come I've never heard of such a big thing from you?"
"I only found out by chance that the Grand Master is living in seclusion in the Shangqing Sect. The Grand Master told me not to leak any information about him."
"So Elder Mei, you've seen the Grand Master?"
"Yes, he's in the Shangqing Sect."
"Why would the Grand Master be living in seclusion in the Shangqing Sect all of a sudden?"
"He said … he's waiting for you."
"Waiting for me?"
Now Gu Qingfeng was even more confused.
"Wait, something doesn't sound right," Black Water said. "The Grand Master probably doesn't even know that the King has returned, does he?"
"The Grand Master knows."
"The Grand Master knows?" Black Water was astonished. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Elder Mei, when you were at Panlong Mountain, you said mysteriously that someone told you that the King would definitely return. That person … couldn't be the Grand Master, could it?"
"That's right. The Grand Master told me."
"What a guy! I've always known that the Grand Master is an expert, especially when it comes to divination. But isn't he too brilliant? He can even tell that the King is coming back? And that he's waiting for the King in the Shangqing Sect? Can he even tell that? "
Black Water wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even Gu Qingfeng was quite surprised and confused.
He knew better than anyone that the Grand Master was a master of divination. It wouldn't be surprising if the Grand Master could tell that he was coming back. But why was he waiting for him in the Shangqing Sect?
