Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘What happened next was very strange.

The Qingyun Sect’s formation was broken. A couple of Imminent Immortals came out from within, and they actually managed to force invading enemies to retreat to the seaside.

Half of Mu Province was devastated as the war continued while a third of Hai Province was submerged.

The rain finally stopped in the morning and dark clouds dissipated.

Yet the terrific waves transmitting from the horizon remained.

On Chuyang Peak

Jiang Ming was looking at the sunrise from the fence. The eastern sky was colored red, not knowing whether it was due to the shining sunlight or the reflecting bloodstains.

“Qingyun Sect is this strong? It’s surprising that the sect actually forced the retreat of the Yinmo Sect and Long Yuan’s combined forces. What an extraordinary Sacred Land that occupies a region!” Jiang Ming exclaimed.

He then turned and looked around. He sensed the atmosphere of Eastern Region filled with invisible disastrous gi and killing intent.

He sighed, “It’d be great if the Human Path Records could do live!”

Then, he laid back on the rattan chair, swaying leisurely.

Meanwhile, he called up Human Path Records, where he ‘saw his Junior Sister entering the God of Thunder Immortal Treasure.

He also ‘saw’ Qing Ming muttering as he wondered why was the Qingyun Sect not annihilated? Why didn’t the two Imminent Immortals of his sect attack? Qing Ming thought it was unusual that the number of experts sent by Long Yuan was fewer than expected.
At the same time, all devil sects in Zhong Province, Southern Region, and Northern Region resurfaced. They initiated war throughout their regions, although not as fierce as the one in Eastern Region.

‘The Western Region was the only region remaining free from war.

jiang Ming suddenly sat up straight, thoughts racing through his mind.
He thought devil sects should be resurging while creating massive chaos based on all six devil sects’ current situation and various information he had read. But it turned out otherwise.
The war in Eastern Region looked fierce and intense, yet something was not right.

‘That night, Yinmo Sect managed to force Qingyun Sect’s experts to retreat to its sect.

The war continued for the next three days as a drawn-out war.

The devil sects failed to break through Qingyun Sect’s gate, but the war held outside the gate affected more than half of Eastern Region’s area as they slaughtered countless people every second.

Gu Hai returned in the evening.
He looked very grave as he ordered, “With the great war outside, small sects like ours might be annihilated anytime. Do prepare for an immediate escape because I’ll immediately send you away if anything happens or if Qingyun Sect is defeated!”

“Why?” Jiang Ming was confused.

For a moment, Gu Hai remained silent before he sighed. Then, he flew to the sealed area and demanded, “Come over!”

The formation had always shielded the area. Jiang Ming did not probe into it because he knew the old man would tell him one day.

“Do you know the reason why Chuyang Peak has only you two disciples and me?” Anguish flashed across Gu Hai’s face as he removed the formation with a wave of his hand.

Inside the formation were palaces connecting to each other. It was not large but enough to accommodate about 100 people. The buildings were now in ruin, with various broken weapons scattered on the ground. Bloodstains could be seen everywhere too.
These showed that the place used to be the location of a tragic battle.

Jiang Ming had expected earlier, but at this moment, he was merely waiting in silence.

“At that time, when I first accepted the position as Chuyang Peak’s First Seat, I was very ambitious to expand it to the size of a sect, but…” Gu Hai got even more anguished that his eyes reddened. He continued, “I’ve got a great disciple, who was incredibly talented, even in the perspective of the sect. I
treated him as my son! As I got weaker after my injury, I let him take over my First Seat’s responsibilities as my disciple. In the beginning, he did very well, so well that Chuyang Peak was at its pinnacle!”

Gu Hai lifted his head, gazing into the sky. He recalled the past, those disciples who surrounded him
He shuddered.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, “Everything was good until he became too obsessed with his cultivation one day. No, he was devilized and became a devil. He went berserk, and his cultivation soared. He then went on a killing spree, and because he was stronger than many others, he killed
many disciples and even a few of my Senior Brothers.”

“When I got back here, corpses were seen all around!”
“Many of the disciples who died had their eyes open with disbelief: why did the Senior Brother kill us?”
“He was also badly hurt. He knelt before me, kowtowing and also crying, He said intermittently: it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, I couldn’t control myself, no, it was as if I was being controlled, Master, it really wasn’t me, I didn’t want to…I don’t know what happened!”

“Llifted my hand, wanted to kill him, but didn’t manage to!” Gu Hai closed his eyes before he continued, “Although I was burning with rage, I didn’t lose my senses and felt something was not right. But he… he slapped himself to death. Before he died, he said: “Master, it was not my intention, it really
wasn’t. Master, I have made a terrible mistake, and I can only atone for it with my life!”

Jiang Ming listened to Gu Hai quietly. He instantly recalled the Zhiyang Peak First Seat, the spy of the devil sect who was always plotting to take over Chuyang Peak.
He just knew that Yue Cheng must be the culprit over the entire incident.

Gu Hai sighed as he described what had happened in the past. “Based on what I knew about him and what he said at the end, both Sect Master and I sensed that something was wrong, But no matter how I investigated, all my efforts were in vain. Eventually, nothing could be done! In the end, because all
Chuyang Peak disciples died except 10 external disciples, I was being discouraged. Hence, I dispersed them to other peaks.”

“In addition to my consciousness’s injury, that incident had completely left me traumatized! At that time, I was either indulging myself in drinking or wandering aimlessly to various places until I met you!”
“Ididn’t plan to take care of you after I saved you. But the strong yearning to live you showed in your eyes touched my heart. As I thought it would be disgraceful being the First Seat and not having a disciple, I brought you up to the peak!”
“Master, this is your fault then. If you didn’t take me here, with my cleverness, I’d have become rich, married dozens of concubines, and embraced them on my two sides. What a beautiful life that would be!” Jiang Ming laughed.

“Married dozens of concubines? You’re such a big talker!” Gu Hai curled his lip, feeling better. He then added, “What happened back then is definitely related to the devil sect. Moreover, instances such as the case a few years ago whereby a team from the devil sect tried to destroy us, followed by the Bi Shui
Sect’s attack, and the recent cases whereby teams from the Yinmo Sect destroyed various sects and clans indicate that our Jiu Yang Sect will not be spared once the Qingyun Sect is defeated! Therefore, the Sect Master has arranged for a group of elite disciples to hide. In case the situation changes, I will
also arrange for your immediate retreat! As for your Junior Sister, some of the sect’s elders have gone there to tell her to leave as soon as she comes out quickly.”

“What about you, Maste!

ang Ming’s heart sank as he listened.
Perhaps that was the sadness of the weak.

“Here’s my home!”

“Master, here’s my home too!”

“Listen to me this time!” Gu Hai demanded in an unprecedented, serious manner.

Jiang Ming could only obey by nodding his head. He turned, looking in the Qingyun Sect’s direction, his eyes gleaming.

“You’re now already in the Core Formation Realm. In fact, few in the sect can compare with your innate talent, not to mention your Junior Sister, who stunned the whole world. Therefore, we’re no worse than the other peaks even though we have only a few people!”
Gu Hai then said, “The past is the past after all. Let’s just make this place history!”

He released a glob of flame, which melted the palace ruin.

“It’s best that you’re able to let it go! Junior Sister and I will be responsible for taking good care of you during your old age!” Jiang Ming said.

“Are you cursing me to die earlier? I’m still thinking of improving my cultivation base to live as an immortal!” Gu Hai snorted.

“You?”

“Are you looking down upon your Master?”

“Haha!”

“Looking at you being so lazy makes me furious. Go on, cook for me 32 dishes, one dish less and I’ll hang you up and beat you!”

“Old man, this is abuse!”

“Hehe, I’m your Master!”

“Sigh, this’s a powerful reason indeed.” Jiang Ming went away, helpless.

After the old man fed himself enough, he told Jiang Ming before he left, “If our sect survives this disaster, I’ll pass my position as the First Seat to Linglong, You’ll be the acting First Seat to recruit disciples and bring Chuyang Peak to greater height!”

Jiang Ming opened his mouth, halfway flicking out his middle finger, which he withdrew hastily as he did not feel right to do so. In the end, he mumbled, “Recruit disciples? I don’t want to be troubled. Does this old man think that he’s got a hold on me? Junior Sister’s position is the highest in the sect now,
but she listens to me, hehe!”

He took a look at the back of the mountain. He also knew why his Master told him all these was to prepare him to escape at any time and show him that he had let go of the past.
It was also that night, Jiang Ming expressed his shock when he looked at the Qingyun Sect’s direction.

The change had eventually come..
