Chapter 624: Meeting Again
The great battle finally ended!
In the entire Ghostly Samsara Hell, apart from the black coffin that disappeared without a trace, all disciples who came to the Seeking-Tao Sect were killed.
Even Gui Li, who at the last moment abandoned Fang Yuxuan’s physical body and transformed into countless evil spirits, couldn’t escape again. He was devoured alive by Jiang Yun, who was unable to move at that time.
Seeking-Tao Sect emerged victorious in this battle.
Although the Samsara Hell Master never appeared, the explosion of the Senluo Ghost Eye undoubtedly caused him serious injuries.
As for Ghostly Samsara Hell, it’s like being expelled from the Mountain-Sea World!
Though Seeking-Tao Sect achieved the final victory, no one from Jiang Yun to the disciples could feel happy. The whole sect was still enveloped in deep sadness.
Because they could never forget the horrifying scenes of their fellow sect members self-destructing in front of them.
Especially Dao Tianyou, the former sect master of Seeking-Tao Sect, sacrificed his own life with the help of Hidden Tao Sword to save Jiang Yun and the entire sect in the moment of crisis.
While others thought Dao Tianyou had died for the sect, only Jiang Yun knew that Dao Tianyou had returned to the Main Seeking-Tao Sect.
Due to Dao Tianyou’s instructions, Jiang Yun kept the information about the Main Sect’s split sect a secret to everyone except the sect master.
…
Three days later, all Seeking-Tao Sect disciples, including Brother Hei, gathered in the square, standing quietly.
After a moment, a huge stone tablet as tall as a hundred feet suddenly descended from the sky and landed in the original position of Hidden Peak, sinking deep into the ground.
On the stone tablet, many names were written closely together.
Those were the names of the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples who died in this battle, and Jiang Yun personally carved each one.
Because most of them died by self-explosion and their bodies couldn’t be found, Jiang Yun had to leave behind this kind of monument.
Standing in front of the stone tablet, Jiang Yun’s gaze slowly moved past the sorrowful faces of each Seeking-Tao Sect disciple.
Among these faces, he saw Xiao Yishu, who used to be in charge of the entrance Three Trials exam, he saw Xu Chengshan who once troubled him at Fang Ruolin’s command, and he even saw the chubby Bao Yuanqiang.
The past grudges and grievances had long been dispersed by the wind, being able to see familiar faces again filled Jiang Yun’s heart with mixed emotions.
After his gaze swept over everyone, Jiang Yun then pointed behind him at the stone tablet and loudly declared, "They are all disciples of my Seeking-Tao Sect, they are our fellow disciples!"
"Even though they are no longer here, I hope that all of you and future Seeking-Tao Sect disciples will remember their names and the sacrifices they made for our sect!"
After saying this, Jiang Yun turned around, faced the stone tablet, hesitated, and then knelt down on the ground, revealing Wan Hongbo and Wei Zhengyang!
These two people, who wanted to escape after Jiang Yun drove away the three major forces coalition, were caught by Dao Tianyou, stripped of their abilities, and imprisoned.
Now, Jiang Yun is going to use their heads to mourn these deceased disciples.
Because without them, perhaps these disciples wouldn’t have died!
"Jiang Yun, no no no, sect master, please don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"
"Sect master, I was tricked by Wei Zhengyang, he forced me to do everything, please spare me!"
Wan Hongbo and Wei Zhengyang showed fear on their faces, trembling, bowing continuously to Jiang Yun, tears streaming down their faces, no longer showing any semblance of their former selves as Peak Lords.
Jiang Yun coldly stared at them and said, "Look at the names on these stone tablets, they didn’t want to die either!"
Without giving the two of them a chance to speak again, Jiang Yun directly struck one palm, cutting off their heads.
With a wave of his sleeve, Jiang Yun took away the two headless bodies and led the disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect to bow respectfully towards the stone tablets.
"You are the pride of my Seeking-Tao Sect. Having disciples like you is my joy, and also a great fortune for the Seeking-Tao Sect!"
"If there is a next life, Jiang Yun wishes to be in the same sect with you again!"
"In the same sect again!"
Everyone’s voices gathered into these four words, rising into the sky, echoing between the heavens and earth of the Mountain-Sea World.
After completing the memorial for many deceased sect members, just as Jiang Yun was about to dismiss the disciples, Brother Hei, Xia Zhongxing, and others suddenly walked over to him.
"Brother Jiang, we have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Jiang Yun always held Brother Hei and Xia Zhongxing in high regard.
Especially in this recent big battle, these two had been a great help, even getting seriously injured. Jiang Yun hadn’t had a chance to properly thank them yet.
Brother Hei rubbed his chin where he had a few sparse hairs and asked, "Is your Seeking-Tao Sect still recruiting people?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was initially surprised, but then he showed a happy expression and said, "Yes!"
Brother Hei chuckled and said, "Brother Xia and I have already discussed it. Since we have nowhere else to go, we have decided to bring our followers and join your Seeking-Tao Sect!"
"You are most welcome!"
Although Brother Hei and Xia Zhongxing had been helping the Seeking-Tao Sect, they were not official disciples of the sect. Jiang Yun had thought they would leave after the big battle.
However, to his surprise, they were willing to join the Seeking-Tao Sect.
Initially, Jiang Yun thought the Seeking-Tao Sect was the weakest among the five major sects. However, there were actually three powerful experts in the Tao Spiritual Realm, Dao Tianyou and two Supreme Elders.
During the attack on the Seeking-Tao Sect, the two Supreme Elders were killed. Now, Dao Tianyou had returned to the Main Sect. Although the sect still had over four thousand disciples, aside from Jiang Yun, the strongest were Lan Huazhao and five other cultivators with profound abilities.
This level of strength was inferior to some ordinary sects and was nowhere near a match for sects like the Samsara Sect.
But now, with Brother Hei and Xia Zhongxing joining them, they not only gained two more Tao Spiritual Realm cultivators, but they were also not alone anymore.
Xia Zhongxing’s disciple Cong Qin is also a cultivator from the cave, and Brother Hei brought thousands of demon beasts with him, including fifty to sixty Sky Reaching Demons!
With their help, Seeking-Tao Sect’s strength has greatly increased.
Even though Brother Hei is a monster, which goes against Seeking-Tao Sect’s principles as a human sect, Jiang Yun is still the sect master.
Moreover, most of the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples present were saved by Brother Hei, so everyone had no objections to them joining the sect.
After the battle with Ghostly Samsara Hell, peace was not guaranteed.
There are still the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and the Sea Clan to deal with!
Next, Jiang Yun will lead Seeking-Tao Sect to the Boundary Sea No-Returning Road, heading towards The Great Wilderness Realm. They will face many brutal battles along the way, so the sect must grow stronger.
"Starting today, Brother Hei, you are the Peak Lord of Hundreds Beasts Peak, Senior Xia…"
Xia Zhongxing waved his hand and said, "Just call me big brother, don’t mention the word ‘senior’ again!"
"Alright, Brother Xia, you are the leader of Five Elements Peak."
"Now, all disciples go back and pack up. In one month, we will set off, heading first to Zhongshan Province, and then to Boundary Sea No-Returning Road!"
