The trick of the Tianyun Sect's ancestor

Zhuge Qing and the others all shook their heads and sighed.

It was no exaggeration to say that all of this was caused by Wu Yun's arrogance, which led to the Heaven Cloud Sect's current predicament.

At the same time, Zhuge Qing was even more shocked by Zhong Qing's methods and power.

Hundreds of Sun Profound Realm experts.

A four-hundred-meter greatsword directly forced Earth Profound Realm experts to kneel.

Such power, such methods, Zhong Qing was even stronger than they had previously imagined!

"Brother Zhuge, please save my Heaven Cloud Sect from this plight. Help me go and plead with that Senior to stop this," Wu Yun said, full of anticipation.

"You brought this upon yourself, how can I save you?"

Zhuge Qing said exasperatedly, "But I won't kick you while you're down. I'll tell you the truth: although I know of this Senior, I have never actually met him, so there's no way I can help you plead."

"Even if I did know that Senior, what then?"

"How could a mere Sect Master of Wan Dao Mountain possibly influence the thoughts of such an existence?"

"So, for my Wan Dao Mountain to help you is simply unrealistic."

"In this situation, no one can save you. Your Heaven Cloud Sect can only save itself. You must look out for yourself."

After speaking, Zhuge Qing waved his hand and led everyone away.

Wu Yun, left behind, was pale-faced, as if he had lost his soul.

No words could describe the remorse in his heart at that moment.

Since death was inevitable, he would rather die within the Heaven Cloud Sect.

He soared through the sky, rushing back towards the Heaven Cloud Sect.

His heart was incredibly heavy, because by the time he went back and forth, the Heaven Cloud Sect might have already been annihilated.

Wu Yun, who had rushed out and was now rushing back, used his last two Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talismans and finally returned to the Heaven Cloud Sect.

He had thought that the Heaven Cloud Sect no longer existed.

However, he was surprised to find that not only was the Heaven Cloud Sect still there, but the battle had also ceased.

"What... what is going on?"

Wu Yun looked on in disbelief, afraid he was seeing things.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Heaven Cloud Sect, Zhong Qing lay on the main seat, with the Heaven Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor standing behind him, fawningly kneading Zhong Qing's shoulders.

Zhong Qing was truly helpless about this.

His four-hundred-meter longsword was about to cut off the head of Guo Shijie, the Heaven Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he drew his sword, Guo Shijie immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

Almost without any hesitation, Guo Shijie immediately raised his hand and swore a Heavenly Dao oath, vowing to be Zhong Qing's servant, and that the entire Heaven Cloud Sect would serve Zhong Qing from then on. If there was even the slightest disrespect or disloyalty towards Zhong Qing, their body and spirit would be annihilated.

As if still afraid that Zhong Qing would not agree, Guo Shijie swiftly cut down several Elders who had offended Zhong Qing earlier with two swift slashes.

His main objective was to prioritize righteousness over family.

This series of smooth actions completely stunned Zhong Qing at the time.

However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he found that accepting this guy seemed like a good idea.

Because even if he annihilated the entire Heaven Cloud Sect, he wouldn't gain any benefits, and there was no guarantee that some stragglers wouldn't cause trouble.

But now, not only did he gain an Earth Profound Realm servant, but he also brought the entire Heaven Cloud Sect under his control, and he didn't have to worry about them betraying him or having second thoughts.

After all, a Heavenly Dao oath was not something to be trifled with.

So, getting a force for free was a definite gain, and it would certainly be very useful in the future.

With this back and forth, Zhong Qing retrieved all his wooden Puppets.

The life-and-death battle thus subsided.

"Hehe, Master, please have another cup of tea."

Guo Shijie was extremely attentive.

Just then, his eyes flashed, as if he had discovered something.

Then, he abruptly grabbed into the Void Realm, and Wu Yun, who had just rushed back from Wan Dao Mountain, was seized by Guo Shijie and thrown before Zhong Qing like a dead dog.

"Master, I have captured this scoundrel Wu Yun. How do you wish to deal with him?" Guo Shijie asked Zhong Qing attentively.

On the ground, Wu Yun heard Guo Shijie's words and looked at his Old Ancestor in disbelief.

No wonder Zhong Qing no longer sought to destroy his Heaven Cloud Sect; it turned out the Old Ancestor had already become his servant.

Seeing Wu Yun still in a daze, Guo Shijie seemed to know what he was thinking and quickly sent a message: "What's wrong with being a servant? Being a servant is better than dying, better than the Heaven Cloud Sect being destroyed. What are you still dazed for? Hurry up and confess your sins, show some deference."

Hearing this, Wu Yun bitterly agreed.

Yes.

In this situation, even becoming a servant was better than losing everything, right?

So, Wu Yun also quickly prostrated himself, bowing his head heavily to the ground.

"Senior, it was I, Wu Yun, who was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, Senior."

Evidently, in the face of Zhong Qing's previously displayed absolute power, coupled with the various experiences and regrets from his back-and-forth journey, Wu Yun had long shed his arrogance.

This outcome, for him, was not unacceptable.

At least the Heaven Cloud Sect could be preserved.

Seeing Wu Yun's seemingly sincere attitude, Guo Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid that Wu Yun would be stubborn and choose to die rather than surrender.

He had finally managed to get Zhong Qing to agree to accept him as a servant; if Zhong Qing changed his mind, he would have wanted to die.

Seeing that Zhong Qing seemed to be considering how to deal with Wu Yun, Guo Shijie quickly knelt again and said, "Master, this Wu Yun's angering you is a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths. Killing him a hundred times would not be enough to quell your wrath."

"However, I still dare to ask you for one favor: let him also become your servant, let him serve you like an ox and a horse, to compensate for the mistakes he made today for the rest of his life."

Zhong Qing turned his head to look at Guo Shijie.

He had to admit, this old man was truly thoughtful, capable of both picking up and letting go, and knew how to adapt to circumstances.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhong Qing finally nodded in agreement.

Because killing Wu Yun would be nothing more than a swift strike, but letting him be his dog also seemed like a rather interesting idea.

Seeing Wu Yun still frozen, Guo Shijie shouted, "What are you still dazed for? Hurry and swear the Heavenly Dao oath!"

Wu Yun then reacted and quickly swore the Heavenly Dao oath, saying at the same time: "I, Wu Yun, swear a Heavenly Dao oath to honor Senior Zhong Qing as my Master. If I violate this, heaven and earth will not tolerate me."

With this Heavenly Dao oath uttered, Zhong Qing understood.

Wu Yun would no longer dare to harbor any strange thoughts.

Truly, life is full of unpredictable turns.

He had only come to resolve an issue concerning his disciple, but unexpectedly, he ended up bringing the entire Heaven Cloud Sect under his control, with both the Old Ancestor and the Sect Master becoming his servants.

"Get up."

Zhong Qing said indifferently.

Since they had already become his servants, which was equivalent to his Puppets, there was no need to say anything more about what had happened before.

"Yes."

Only then did Wu Yun dare to stand up.

"You two handle the aftermath of the Heaven Cloud Sect yourselves," Zhong Qing said as he stood up. "I've been out for some time now, it's time for me to go back and rest for a few days."

"Yes, Master, please rest assured, we will definitely handle the aftermath of the Heaven Cloud Sect well," Guo Shijie and the other said in unison.

"Take this. I will notify you when I need something."

Zhong Qing took out a Storage Ring, threw it to Guo Shijie, and then walked out of the main hall.

"Farewell, Master."

The two respectfully saw him off. Only after Zhong Qing left the Heaven Cloud Sect with Lin Feng did they return.

"You, you almost caused the entire Heaven Cloud Sect to be annihilated by your hands!" Upon returning, Guo Shijie couldn't help but glare at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun bowed his head, not daring to reply.

"But now it seems, it might also be a blessing in disguise," Guo Shijie then mused.

"A blessing in disguise?"
