C272 (1/2)

The spatial crack gradually closed. Under Su Yuanshan's lead, the Su Family members disappeared from the battlefield. Even the corpse of Su Yin, who was killed by Zhou Tong earlier, was taken away as well.

”Bastard!”

Hugging Zhu Yunxin, Zhou Tong suddenly let out a roar from his throat. A terrifying might suddenly spread out from Zhou Tong's body, crushing a large piece of soil and rocks beneath his feet into fine powder.

”Alright, little fellow. Don't let your emotions affect you too much. Calm down. Anger cannot solve this problem.” Adept Morning Star stepped forward, extended his aged hand and patted Zhou Tong's shoulders. At the same time, he opened a 'Tranquil Heart Curse' for Zhou Tong, helping him to suppress the anger in his chest.

”Patriarch Huu, I'm sorry. This junior is incompetent, let Master Liuyan, and so many of our colleagues do as well.” Letting out a long breath, Zhou Tong bit her lips and muttered softly.

”Alright, you have nothing to blame yourself for. Killing a half-step Limitless cultivator, you have already created a miracle. No one will blame you for that. You are the most amazing disciple that has ever appeared in our sect. ” Adept Morning Star shook his head, he simply opened his arms and pulled Zhou Tong into his embrace, as though he was comforting a child, and gently patted Zhou Tong's back.

Zhou Tong buried his head deep within the Adept Morning Star's wide robes. His body slightly trembled, but he didn't make any sound. Only after a long while did he stand back up.

After training on a flat stone block, Zhou Tong put it down. Zhou Tong then walked towards Taoist Master Xing Luo, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily.

”My Lord Sect Master, please accept this disciple's bow.”

Taoist Master Xing Luo looked at the kneeling Zhou Tong, and his nose turned sour. He then reached out his only remaining arm and pulled Zhou Tong up, ”Alright, don't blame yourself, if not for your contributions this time, the war between the two empires would be even more tragic, and at that time, even more people would be displaced, their families destroyed and their families destroyed. You are the hero of Cloud Court, you must be spirited up, I think that Liu Yan, that fellow, knows about you, and I don't want to see you like this, you are our pride.”

”Master, please accept it.” ”In this battle, this disciple's Scarlet Phoenix Sword was destroyed, so this disciple has a deep understanding of the terror of those top-notch experts, and from today onwards, they will be this disciple's match. This disciple does not dare to continue wearing this Yao Guang sword, so I ask the sect master to retract it, and bring it back to Heavenly Sword Hall.”

Taoist Master Xing Luo did not speak, he only laughed bitterly, and then, he took the Divine Light Sword from Zhou Tong's hands. However, the quality of Zhou Tong's Scarlet Phoenix Sword was even better than the Jade Light Sword, yet it was so easily broken. Now that the Jade Light Sword was in Zhou Tong's hands, it was gradually becoming unusable.

”I will keep the Jade Light Sword. From now on, it will be the symbol of the Heavenly Sword Hall's Disciplinary Elder. As for you, you will be an elder of my Heavenly Sword Hall in Star Gauze Sword Sect.” Patting Zhou Tong's shoulder, Taoist Master Xing Luo pursed his lips and laughed, ”I know, the road that you will have to walk on, will no longer be a path that we can help you on. But remember this, the Star Gauze Sword Sect is your home at any time, and you can come back anytime.”

Taoist Master Xing Luo's expression was very calm, how could he not understand that Zhou Tong was bidding farewell? But just as he said, the road that Zhou Tong would walk in the future would not be something that these elders could help him with.

”You should head back to the imperial court first. Leave the mess here to us. Go and do what you want.”

”Mn, many elders, thank you for your troubles.” With a bitter smile, Zhou Tong nodded.

When Zhou Tong heard the news that an immortal estate had appeared five years later, he suddenly had a feeling that he came to a realization.

Originally, when Uncle Yu was facing Yan Xi, the reason Uncle Yu said to reach virtual state within ten years, was because of this so-called ”immortal estate”. At first, Uncle Yu did his utmost to prevent conflicts between himself and the ”demon cultivator”, in order to give him enough time, such that he could reach a relatively high level.

And now, five years had passed, and he had gone from a minor cultivator who was being hunted by demonic cultivators all over the world, to a peak existence in the Deficiency Cultivator. In the remaining five years, he could pursue an even higher realm, whether for himself or for Zhu Yunxin.

Without the support of the Su Family, the so-called eight great immortal gates were simply not enough to contend against the cultivators in the Cloud Court. In a few short days, the news of the Cloud Song Dynasty's defeat spread to every corner of the empire, and instantly, the entire Cloud Dynasty was in an uproar.
