181: Re-establish the mountain gate

Jade Moon Peak.

Jiang Weirou, Elder Qingshuang, and the three of them returned after escaping the hardships of Qianling Domain and Qianyuan Prefecture.

The three arrived at Qianmo Valley, looking at the various spiritual lands that had been completely destroyed and were no longer suitable for Cultivators to Cultivate, their hearts filled with unspeakable sorrow.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

The three remained silent for a long time. Elder Qingshuang looked at the former Xianyue Sect Master and slowly asked.

Jiang Weirou also turned her gaze toward the former Xianyue Sect Master.

"We must re-establish the sect. The Legacy cannot be severed in our hands."

The former Xianyue Sect Master recalled the instructions his Master gave him upon his death. The sorrow in his eyes gradually faded, and his gaze became determined.

"Master, then where should we go?"

A slight worry was visible in Jiang Weirou's eyes.

Now that Qianmo Valley was destroyed, it was no longer suitable for establishing a sect here.

There were quite a few Loose Cultivators in the early and Middle Stage of Qi Refining gathering in Qianmo Valley.

However, establishing a Legacy in another territory, especially since all three of them were Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivators, was not as simple as it was for a Qi Refining Cultivator.

There would certainly be protection of interests and various entanglements involved.

"Let's go to the Zhou Family."

"With the relationship involving Junior Martial Niece Jing Ya, we should be able to negotiate."

After considering for a long time.

The former Xianyue Sect Master finally spoke slowly.

The Su Family had disappeared without explanation, and the three did not know why they had regained their freedom.

The former Xianyue Sect Master worried that this matter might not end so easily.

Therefore, seeking refuge with the Zhou Family was the best choice.

Furthermore, all forces under the Zhou Family's rule were Family-type forces.

If the Crescent Moon Sect could establish itself under the Zhou Family's rule, conflicts of interest with local forces would be significantly reduced.

"Senior Brother..."

Elder Qingshuang was slightly surprised, not expecting his Senior Brother to make this decision.

Although the grudges between the two families had been resolved, the friction between them in the past was real.

Moreover, his Senior Brother had previously been defeated by Zhou Leren, injured by Zhou Leren, and then rescued by Zhou Leren. The relationship was quite complicated.

"Junior Sister, the Legacy is paramount. A bit of my old face is nothing."

The former Xianyue Sect Master shook his head, seeing Elder Qingshuang's confusion, and offered an explanation.

Elder Qingshuang was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that her Master and Junior Martial Uncle had made up their minds.

Jiang Weirou also stopped talking and agreed.

The three stopped and looked at the Crescent Moon Sect's former site for a long time before circulating their spiritual power, turning to leave, and arriving in Feiyue City.

Locating the Zhou Family's station in Feiyue City, the three came together and handed over a calling card.

Seeing that the visitors were three Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The manager of the Zhou Family station dared not neglect them, quickly summoning Zhou Family Disciples to host the three, and had their calling card delivered to Jade Moon Peak.

Before long, the manager returned.

He apologized to Jiang Weirou and the other two, who were resting with their eyes closed.

"Three Seniors, Elder Le Ren and his wife are not currently in the Clan."

"Not here?"

Jiang Weirou's spiritual power surged out, lifting the manager up.

The three exchanged glances. They had originally intended to seek out Zhou Leren and Jing Ya first, discuss the matter with the Zhou Leren couple, and if they agreed, have them provide a formal introduction.

Only then would it be considered safe.

It was just that now, neither Zhou Leren nor his wife were at the Zhou Family.

"I trouble the manager to submit the request again. We hope to meet Patriarch Zhou."

The former Xianyue Sect Master hesitated for a moment. Since that was the case, they would directly request an audience with the Head of the Zhou Family.

Although Zhou Leren and his wife would not be present, they still needed to try.

"Very well. Three Seniors, please wait here for a moment."

The manager happily agreed, bowed once more, and retreated from the hall.

The guest hall at the Zhou Family station fell silent again, and the three felt somewhat uneasy.

Half an hour later.

The manager, smiling, entered the hall and bowed respectfully to the three.

"Three Seniors, Patriarch Zhou invites you."

Jiang Weirou, Elder Qingshuang, and the three of them showed slight joy on their faces. After exchanging glances, they stood up and returned the bow.

"Thank you, Manager."

The Zhou Family manager repeatedly said he dared not accept their thanks, then summoned a Zhou Family Disciple wearing a snake-patterned emblem to lead the three up to Jade Moon Peak.

Along the way.

The three did not speak much, only carefully observing the various sights they encountered along the Zhou Family's path.

Each had their own feelings.

The Zhou Family was currently like the rising sun. Although its scale might not be as large as the Crescent Moon Sect was back then, the demeanor of the passing Zhou Family Disciples was extraordinary.

"Three Seniors, please enter. Patriarch Zhou is waiting inside."

The leading Zhou Family Disciple interrupted the thoughts of the three.

"Thank you."

The three thanked the Zhou Family Disciple.

After exchanging glances, they entered the Zhou Family Main Hall.

"Three Fellow Daoists, I often hear Le Ren and Xiao Ya mention the three of you. Now I finally get to meet you in person."

"Three Fellow Daoists, please come in quickly."

As soon as they entered the hall, Zhou Licheng greeted them with a wide smile.

The three returned the courtesy. Zhou Licheng's kind and amiable attitude eased their hearts slightly.

Zhou Licheng invited the three to sit down, poured the prepared spiritual tea, and did not rush to ask about their purpose, but instead started chatting casually.

As for the news of the three returning safely, he had already sent someone to inform Mo Xuan. He believed that Zhou Leren and Jing Ya would also know the news by now, so he no longer needed to worry excessively.

"Fellow Daoist, please..."

"..."

Inside the Main Hall.

Zhou Licheng conversed with the three, mentioning Zhou Leren and Jing Ya's worry about them and the fact that they had gone out to search for them.

This greatly moved Elder Qingshuang.

When the timing was right.

The former Xianyue Sect Master finally stated the purpose of their visit.

Zhou Licheng was silent for a moment and did not reply immediately.

Instead, he described the current situation of the Su Family. He could more or less guess the remaining concerns in the hearts of the three.

That was why he revealed some details about the current status of the Su Family.

However, he did not elaborate on the connection.

Jiang Weirou and the other two, being Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivators who had Cultivated for many years, naturally understood that since Zhou Licheng did not elaborate, they would not press the matter.

Upon hearing this, the former Xianyue Sect Master finally understood the situation somewhat and knew that the Su Family would temporarily no longer pose a threat to them.

But after careful consideration, he still chose to rebuild the sect under the Zhou Family's rule.

Zhou Licheng calculated in his mind: three Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not weak in strength, and they had no conflict with the Zhou Family. On the contrary, due to the existence of Zhou Leren and Jing Ya, there was a significant existing connection.

This was a great opportunity to enhance influence and strength.

After thinking it over, Zhou Licheng agreed.

Joy sparked in the hearts of the three. They had not expected the matter to be so simple, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Three Fellow Daoists, once Le Ren and Jing Ya return, I will inform them both."

Outside the Zhou Family, Zhou Licheng saw the three off and watched them depart.

Over a month later.

Under the Zhou Family's rule.

On a spiritual peak originally belonging to the Zhou Family, located at the border of Qingyuan Town and Hanyan Town, the Crescent Moon Sect was re-established. They set up their sect gate and invited major and minor forces from the surrounding area to attend the ceremony two months later.

Two months later, the Crescent Moon Sect opened its mountain gates and officially began recruiting Disciples.

People from Qingyuan Town, Hanyan Town, and even the surrounding territories heard the news and came, wishing to join the Crescent Moon Sect.

On this very day, Zhou Leren and Jing Ya rushed back. The two went together to visit the newly established Crescent Moon Sect, presenting a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Zhou Family.

Thus, the Crescent Moon Sect re-established its Legacy, becoming another Foundation Establishment force under the Zhou Family's rule.
