303: consciousness

“It’s good that you understand.” Elder Yang nodded, walked up to the young Disciple, and patted his head.

“Child, you did nothing wrong. There’s no problem asking your fellow Disciples for help when you’re in trouble.”

“Elder… I, I was wrong.”

When the young Disciple heard Elder Yang’s words, tears immediately streamed down his face. He also realized that what he had done was pushing the True Immortal Sect into an abyss of eternal damnation.

“No, remember this: always trust your fellow Senior Brothers and Disciples. You still have a long way to go in your future.”

Elder Yang smiled, looking at the young Disciple before him with gratification.

“We old folks will make sure you little brats get out safely.”

Elder Hua spoke up at this moment. His expression was still gloomy, but he had regained his composure.

“After you get out, Cultivate properly. Without the help of us old folks, you’ll probably take a lot of wrong turns.”

“Also, stop crying. Go gather all the Disciples below the Soul Transformation Realm on Wuji Peak and tell them to be ready to break through at any time.”

“Heh heh, This Old Man hasn’t made a move in many years. Those little brats probably forgot This Old Man’s old nickname, didn’t they?”

“What, are you planning to use the Blood Slaughter Art?” Elder Yang frowned.

“Yes, there are at least forty people at the same Realm as you and I outside. How can we defeat them without fighting with our lives on the line?”

Elder Hua nodded as a matter of course, and the Spiritual Qi within his body gradually changed from light gold to blackish-red.

“Alright, it’s the last time anyway. If you want to use it, then use it.”

Elder Yang didn’t care anymore at this point. For this final battle, let them, these old geezers, be reckless one last time.

“Elder…” The young Disciple bit his lower lip, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

All he could do now was obey, listen to the Elder’s words, and gather all the Disciples… Soon, about thirty True Immortal Sect Disciples gathered at the top of Wuji Peak.

Each of them held a long sword, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

Although they knew that as long as they joined Danqing Valley and learned the so-called Way of Reaching Heaven, they could survive, not a single one of them intended to do so.

They had seen the consequences of learning the Way of Reaching Heaven.

Although their Cultivation could increase rapidly, their life and death were completely in the hands of others.

They would rather die in battle than be dogs for others. This was the stubborn temper passed down in the True Immortal Sect from the generation of the Ancestral Master.

“Everyone’s here.” Elder Yang, accompanied by Elder Hua and another old man, stood before the Disciples.

“My True Immortal Sect has suffered a great calamity, and we are only one step away from having our Legacy cut off.”

“But I believe that the Legacy of the True Immortal Sect will never be cut off.”

“After all, you new generations are still alive. As long as you are alive, there is still hope for everything.”

After a pause, Elder Yang continued.

“We old folks have lived for hundreds of years, and we’ve experienced all sorts of worldly wonders.”

“Our Cultivation can no longer advance, and the remaining time is just a bitter struggle.”

“But you are different. Your talents are exceptional. Given enough time, you will not be weaker than us.”

“Therefore, the Elders have made a decision.”

In an instant, the entire Wuji Peak fell silent. Everyone waited for Elder Yang’s next words.

“I and a few Elders will carve out a bloody path for you.”

“Once you receive the order, run immediately. Don’t look back, absolutely do not look back.”

“We old folks will help you one last time!”

As soon as the words fell, the True Immortal Sect Disciples erupted like a boiling pot, and various sounds drilled into Elder Yang’s ears.

“Shut up!” Elder Hua roared furiously, his whole body seething with Qi, directly suppressing the Disciples.

“Whatever This Old Man says, goes! You little brats just need to obey!”

“Also, everyone come up and take the Cultivation Techniques you haven’t finished learning. These things are useless for us old guys to keep.”

“If there’s a chance, I still hope you can rebuild the True Immortal Sect…” Elder Yang sighed, but he didn’t voice this sentence.

He didn’t want to put more pressure on these children. As long as they could survive, anything was possible.

The silence lasted for a long time, until the first Disciple stepped forward and took the Cultivation Technique he was learning, only then did the remaining Disciples begin to move.

They knew that the Elders were ready to die, and they could not let down the Elders’ expectations.

When their Cultivation improved in the future, they would rebuild the True Immortal Sect and seek justice for today’s events!

“You Big Butt, can your old bones still move?” Elder Hua looked at the Old Woman beside him, letting out a sneer.

“Old Hua, your mouth is still as foul as ever.” Elder You shook her head, not bothering to argue with Elder Hua.

“No, your old bones shouldn’t cause us more trouble. Run with the children.”

“Get lost! This Old Lady hasn’t made a move in so many years, can’t I have some fun?”

“Alright, alright, if you want to die, don’t blame This Old Man.”

...The distance from the cave where Qiu Yongling took refuge to Wuji Peak was not short.

If it were the usual Luo Shuo, it might take a full day and night to arrive.

But Luo Shuo in his dazed state didn’t bother to control the Demonic Qi within his body at all, using it freely.

However, this was also a good thing. Luo Shuo’s speed in his dazed state was at least double his usual speed.

It was just that this also made Chen Heng and the others, who were sitting on his back, suffer… “Big Brother Chen, how long will Luo Shuo’s state last?” Bai Jun had even used a Wind-Proof Talisman, but it still couldn’t block the cold wind blowing in.

His face was covered in frost, and his teeth chattered incessantly.

“How would I know? This kid bled too much and made himself stupid.” Chen Heng rolled his eyes. This level of low temperature had no effect on him at all.

He just didn’t know if he could survive in a vacuum now… “That’s Wuji Peak!” Qiu Yongling’s expression hardened, and she pointed to a small black dot in the distance.

“Hmm…” Chen Heng squinted his eyes, roughly estimating the distance.

“It should be about another hour or so until we arrive…”

“Good heavens, there are quite a few people, huh.”
