590: Departure, farewell from Wuji Pavilion!

Lu Hao: "However, I do have to address your problem. Why did you wait until after you started fighting to call me over? Don't you know it takes me some time to get here? What if something goes wrong in that time?"

"Don't do this again!"

After listening, Lingxi pouted and said with a wronged expression:

"I... I thought I'd handle it myself first. I knew if you came, things would be different..."

Lu Hao looked at Lingxi's face and said softly:

"Lingxi, you must remember, you are my woman. If anything happens to you, I will be sad."

A blush spread across Lingxi's cheeks, and the gloom in her heart was instantly dispelled by Lu Hao's caring words.

She no longer dwelled on Yaochi's past, and pressed her head firmly into Lu Hao's arm, feeling the Aura that made her feel incredibly safe.

The exit of the spatial tunnel appeared in the Wuji Pavilion, above Lu Hao's familiar Bamboo Forest.

Lu Hao felt it was time to deal with his own matters.

He was going to leave the Living Realm and head to the legendary Netherworld to collect his fifth Personal Disciple.

And also help Ling'er resolve the issues with her two brothers.

With a movement of his Divine Thought, he notified Lü Chengtian, the Pavilion Master of Wuji Pavilion, and the Wuji Old Ancestor.

The next second, two streaks of light flew furiously from the main peak, landing outside the Bamboo Forest. It was Lü Chengtian and the Wuji Old Ancestor.

Upon seeing Lu Hao, the two first bowed with immense respect, then their faces showed visible nervousness and reluctance.

"Senior... Senior Lu, are you..."

Lü Chengtian spoke cautiously, not daring to finish his sentence.

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Lu Hao said nonchalantly:

"I've stayed here long enough. I'm preparing to visit another continent."

Upon hearing this, the two men's hearts sank. They exchanged glances, then both sighed deeply in their hearts.

What was bound to happen, finally did.

This incredibly powerful figure they had so painstakingly relied on, was ultimately going to leave them!

However, they also understood that someone with such heaven-defying Cultivation as Senior Lu, how could he possibly stay in a small place like Wuji Pavilion forever?

"Senior, are you really planning to leave? Won't you stay a little longer?"

The Wuji Old Ancestor cupped his fists and said softly.

"Yes, I should be leaving today. It will be a long time before I return, but don't worry, when I do, I will definitely come to see you all, after all, you are also a branch of my Qingxuan Sect!"

Lu Hao finished speaking, then waved his hand:

"Oh, and there's no need to trouble everyone with any farewell ceremony. It's best if everyone just goes about their business and focuses on Cultivating."

After speaking, Lu Hao dismissed the two.

However, Lü Chengtian and the Wuji Old Ancestor exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of determination in the other's eyes.

Are you kidding me!

A Saint was leaving, could they act as if nothing had happened?

If this got out, how would their Wuji Pavilion continue to operate in the Eastern Domain?

People would say their Wuji Pavilion was ungrateful and lacked manners!

The Senior said there was no need for a send-off, that was the Senior's noble character. If they didn't send him off, then they would be the ones being ignorant!

Most importantly, Sage Lu's help to Wuji Pavilion was immense. In their hearts, they also wanted to do their best to express their gratitude!

So, when Lu Hao, with his Disciples, Ling'er, and Lingxi, prepared to depart, as soon as they stepped out of the Bamboo Forest, Lu Hao saw a scene that made his eyelids twitch.

Outside the Bamboo Forest, a vast crowd of people knelt in a dense mass.

From the Pavilion Master and Old Ancestor, to the various Elders, and then to the Core Disciples, every notable figure within Wuji Pavilion was present, not one missing.

Before them, a banquet was laid out.

The dishes on the banquet were not rare delicacies containing Spiritual Qi, but rather all of Lu Hao's favorite Mortal foods.

These were all home-cooked dishes that the Pavilion Master had sent his Disciples to buy from the Mortal world, their aroma fragrant and full of human warmth.

"..."

Lu Hao fell silent.

These people actually held a farewell party for him!

However, when his gaze fell upon those familiar dishes, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, I suppose you all have good intentions. Since that's the case, then we'll delay a bit longer."

He wasn't an unfeeling person. With their enthusiasm, Lu Hao couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Senior Lu, you have done too much for my Wuji Pavilion, and we have no way to repay you. Knowing that you dislike formalities, we have prepared some Mortal dishes you enjoy, as well as aged fine wine, to bid you farewell."

The Wuji Old Ancestor bowed, his attitude incredibly sincere.

"Sit."

Lu Hao waved his hand, and he was the first to find a seat.

His Disciples also sat down. Mu Siyuan still maintained the appearance of a gentle and refined gentleman, while Yin Xiaotong's eyes were gleaming, and she was practically drooling. If Lu Hao hadn't glared at her, she probably would have already started eating.

Ling'er sat at the table with a cheerful smile, her exquisitely beautiful face inadvertently attracting the gaze of many from Wuji Pavilion.

Many people sighed inwardly, "Senior Lu... he really has many peerless beauties by his side..." But they were only envious, completely devoid of any jealousy.

For a time, the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

Lu Hao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He recalled that his first encounter with Wuji Pavilion had not been pleasant at all; their Sixth Elder had even tried to scheme against him and his second Disciple.

But by a strange twist of fate, he had ended up living here for so long.

It had to be said that the living experience here was quite good.

The mountains were clear, the waters beautiful, Spiritual Qi was abundant, and the Bamboo Forest was very elegant, making for a very leisurely time here.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.

The Wuji Old Ancestor tremblingly stood up with a cup of wine, his old face flushed red with excitement.

"Senior Lu!"

He exclaimed loudly, "This old man has lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have never seen a person of such magnificent bearing as you! You have bestowed upon my Wuji Pavilion the grace of rebirth! Your appearance is the greatest honor our Wuji Pavilion has had in ten thousand generations!"

"Today you are embarking on a distant journey, and our hearts are filled with reluctance, but a majestic eagle is destined to soar above the Nine Heavens. We dare not hold you back, we can only offer this humble cup of wine, wishing Senior a smooth journey on the Immortal Path, and eternal longevity!"

His words were sincere and deeply moving.

The surrounding Elders and Disciples also stood up, uniformly raising their cups, and simultaneously shouted: "Farewell, Sage Lu! We wish Sage a smooth journey on the Immortal Path, and eternal longevity!"

The sound waves shook the heavens, and the Aura was extraordinary.

Lu Hao looked at this grand display, also stood up, and raised his wine cup.

"Alright, stop with these formalities."

He smiled: "It's all in the wine."

With that, he drained his cup!

"Good!"

Everyone cheered loudly and also drained their cups.

The banquet ended, and the moment of parting finally arrived.
