Chapter 448 – Meeting Senior Sect Brother Xi Again

Actually, it couldn’t be said that Gu Zuo wasn’t taller. It was just that, before he reunited with his parents, he intentionally controlled his own growth. This was to prevent his looks from changing after going back and his dad not recognizing him. Who could’ve imagined that he had a good idea, but in the end, the Void-Breaking Shuttle brought him back. His appearance remained the same, but five years had passed in the modern world. On the contrary, it seemed strange that he hadn’t changed.

Fortunately, Gu Qi’s memory of his son was of his original appearance, and he was mostly overjoyed when they met again. Otherwise, if there had been a moment of suspicion back then, it wouldn’t have been pretty.

Gu Zuo inwardly dismissed this way of thinking. He directly scooped out a bottle of medicinal pills, and stuffed it into Tianyang’s hands.

There were several Dust Molting Pills, which were used for breaking through from Xiantian to Immortal. Gu Zuo had specially refined these flawless pills for Tianyang to use for his own breakthrough.

Tianyang didn’t specifically know what these medicinal pills were, but he understood that anything that came from Gu Zuo’s hands were good things. Right away, he accepted them with a smile. He had experienced many things now, so his mind was even more magnanimous and his bearing was more calm. At the same time, he still felt just as close to Gu Zuo as before.

He laughed, and said: “Big brother, Brother Ah Zuo. You guys have returned!”

Seeing Tianyang acting this way, Gu Zuo also felt joy in his heart.

Martial artists focused on the path of martial arts. Although a person’s nature and affinities could allow one to acquire great success after finding a suitable path, when all was said and done, they still weren’t as good as those with broadened hearts and minds. Not only did such people have many more paths, they could comprehend new things by analogy, and the roads they walked upon had much wider perspectives.

Just a moment ago, Tianyang obtained information from the Tianlong Guards. He suppressed his excitement, and calmed down a lot. His eyes only occasionally overflowed with traces of the same filial piety as Mingxia.

Tianheng was also satisfied with the growth of his biological younger brother. After faintly nodding his head, he said: “I know all about Tianyang’s actions since my departure. Tianyang, you took charge and handled your responsibilities well. In the future, you can assist me in developing our Gongyi Clan.”

Tianyang received this praise, and couldn’t hide his happiness.

Afterwards, Tianheng suddenly said: “However, two years have passed. How are things with that Young Lady Ling?”

Tianyang blanked, and his face reddened. Then, he stuttered out: “Ziwei, she’s…doing okay, too.”

It looked like Ling Ziwei hadn’t forgotten about Tianyang during this period of time. On the contrary, she had a certain connection with him. The development of the two’s affections also wasn’t a bad thing.

Gu Zuo silently nodded.

Very good. The younger brother’s wife wasn’t far away.

This time, it was best to bring the Ling Clan siblings to Ten Ultimates Sect. This way, Tianyang and Ling Ziwei’s relationship could continue to grow, and Ling Ziwei’s talent wouldn’t be wasted.

With a Heaven and Earth Physique, her accomplishments on the Central Continent would be even bigger.

Following these words of reminiscence, Tianheng abruptly raised his eyes, and called out to a high place: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, some old friends have returned. Are you unwilling to meet with us?”

The moment his voice fell, a young person suddenly appeared atop a large boulder on the side. It looked like this person’s height wasn’t too tall with that thin and slender build. Their skin was extremely fair and clear, but their temperament was as sharp as a spearpoint, and carried a wild nature. Their hair was cut incredibly short, which gave them a strong, healthy, and vigorous disposition.

This was precisely Huang Ji.

Huang Ji’s body flashed over. He had already landed on the ground: “Why are you looking for me?”

Huang Ji was also considered to have some understanding of Tianheng, and knew that Tianheng certainly wouldn’t have called for him just to talk about old times.

Tianheng smiled and said: “Sure enough, Senior Sect Brother Huang’s thoughts are brightly lit.”

Huang Ji nodded: “Speak.”

On the side, Gu Zuo said: “Let’s not just stand around here. Why don’t we sit down and talk?”

Soon, everyone arrived under a big tree, and sat down cross-legged.

At this moment, the numerous Tianlong Guards were all present. The various members of the Gongyi Clan came here. In addition, the four enslaved martial artists controlled by Tianheng’s Xiantian Pills had also arrived.

Gu Zuo carefully observed. Qian Hu, Liu Bao, and the others had swallowed the Xiantian Pills, which were refined with the blood of his family’s big brother before he achieved Xiantian. Although their strength appeared to have increased a lot, these changes weren’t too big. It could be seen that they weren’t the same as Dragon One and the other Tianlong Guards, who had the potential to improve themselves in the wake of Tianheng’s advancements…

Tianheng also discovered this point. After pondering for a little while, he bestowed Qian Hu, Liu Bao, and the others one reward each, and had them withdraw in advance.

Gu Zuo was surprised, and looked at Tianheng: “Big brother intends to…”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head.

Gu Zuo understood.

In fact, this was also the correct course of action. When spending the spiritual source to bring people to Ten Ultimates Sect, not just anyone could be taken along. Although Qian Hu and the others were trustworthy because they were under control, their strength couldn’t keep up. It would be better to leave them here to continue operating Tianheng’s properties. They could safeguard the Gongyi Clan members who were left behind, too.

Once Qian Hu and the others went away, the Gongyi Clan children suddenly sensed that there was a reason why they were gathered together. As for what that purpose was, it was probably very important.

Tianheng didn’t have any urgency in dispelling Tianyang and the other’s confusion. Instead, he spoke directly to Huang Ji: “Senior Sect Brother Huang, you accepted Mingxia as your apprentice, so you’re also considered to be related to my Gongyi Clan. Would you be willing to come with us to the Central Continent?”

Huang Ji’s thoughts were the purest. Having heard what was said, he couldn’t help staring blankly: “You want to bring me along?”

Tianheng had a smile across his face: “That’s correct.”

Actually, it wasn’t like Huang Ji didn’t want to go to the Central Continent. It was just that he had already reached the Immoral Realm two years ago. If he wanted to enter the Road of Death, he needed to self-destruct his own realm. Of course, with his resolute willpower, he wouldn’t have cared about crippling his own strength, much like Teng Yunfei. Only, at that time, he had already awakened the Heavenly Beast Body. If he decreased his rank, it would be even more harmful to him. Under such considerations, he decided not to enter the Road of Death.

Currently, Huang Ji’s Heavenly Beast Body was at the initial stages of awakening, but his strength far surpassed his previous power. Now that he had another opportunity to enter the Central Continent, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Hence, Huang Ji plainly said: “What can I give you?”

Everyone’s relationships were pretty good, but he knew that this matter would use up a lot of resources. Thus, he wasn’t willing to take too much of an advantage.

Gu Zuo smiled and said: “Senior Sect Brother Huang is very considerate. In any case, the number of people we’re bringing over this time isn’t small. The addition of one more senior won’t make a big difference. Besides, with our current relationship, this matter is as easy as lifting a finger. It would hurt our feelings if we still have to discuss this further.”

Huang Ji nodded his head, and didn’t say anything else.

Mingxia was listening on the side, and her heart moved: “Big brother, if master is going, will we also be…”

Tianheng smiled: “That’s right.” He swept a glance over everyone, and spoke meaningfully, “Not only Senior Sect Brother Huang, but all of you will be coming with me.”

The numerous Gongyi Clan children looked at one another.

Seeing that they were baffled, Gu Zuo said with a smile: “Rest assured, my big brother has already made arrangements. In addition, there are a few people who will take over the duties here. Of course, if there’s anyone among you who don’t want to leave this place, you can tell us directly.”

No one knew what kind of place the Central Continent was like, but based on their trust in Tianheng, they all said:

“We’ll listen to elder brother.”

“Everything will be in accordance with our elder cousin.”

Gu Zuo glanced at his family’s big brother.

To have this kind of prestige among his peers, Tianheng really deserved it.

After that, the two didn’t explain the details to these couple of children like they did at the Gongyi residence. Later on, the clan elders would naturally tell them the whole sequence of events once they saw each other again.

Tianheng gathered the twenty Tianlong Guards here to the side. Tianyang similarly witnessed the Tianlong Guards practicing the six paths, and couldn’t help asking Tianheng for guidance as well.

Meanwhile, Gu Zuo sat in meditation, cultivated, and refined medicine. Merely, the expression on his face revealed a hint of conflict.

A short while passed, and a gentle voice resounded next to his ear: “Ah Zuo, what’s wrong?”

Gu Zuo sighed: “I was thinking. Should we find the time to go and see Senior Sect Brother Xi?”

Th senior he indicated was naturally Xi Yangyun.

Tianheng raised an eyebrow: “So Ah Zuo was troubled over this matter.”

Gu Zuo nodded: “I just felt that we should tell him about Senior Sect Brother Xu. The two of them are good friends. If we hadn’t returned, it wouldn’t have mattered. But since we came back, we should reassure Senior Sect Brother Xi.”

Tianheng smiled and said: “This is but a trifle. Once it’s deep in the night, you and I can pay a visit to Senior Sect Brother Xi.”

Gu Zuo paused, and honestly said: “Actually, I also want to know what happened to Lu Jiusi… En, and the matters of the He Clan.”

To be honest, regardless of whether it was Lu Jiusi or the He Clan, all of them were considered their enemies. However, while Lu Jiusi indeed caused some trouble for them, and even facilitated that assassination attempt, the He Clan hadn’t paid that much attention to them and didn’t have the time to deal with them. On the contrary, the two of them both intentionally and inadvertently added many obstacles to the He Clan, which ruined the He Clan’s schemes.

Tianheng said: “Whether it’s the He Clan or Lu Jiusi, we can presume that neither are capable of stirring up trouble now.”

Gu Zuo pursed his lips.

Well, he thought so, too. However, he still needed to ask Senior Sect Brother Xi to know what really happened.

In the middle of the night, the two silently left the small hill, and arrived inside the palace hall where Xi Yangyun lived.

Xi Yangyun was an Immortal Realm powerhouse, and his perception was quite keen. It was just that the two could conceal themselves such that even the sect master had a hard time sensing them, let alone Xi Yangyun.

As a result, Xi Yangyun was originally in the middle of operating his cultivation method while he sat on his bed. After one round of exercises, he stopped, and opened his eyes. Right away, he saw two familiar faces — At this time, how could he care about familiarity? Someone snuck into his room in the middle of the night without making a sound. He was given quite a shock, okay?

Xi Yangyun immediately wanted to take action.

But Gu Zuo spoke just in time: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, it’s us!”

Xi Yangyun was stunned, and then, he recovered.

He somewhat hesitated: “Junior Sect Brother Gu…Junior Sect Brother Gongyi?”

Tianheng smiled: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, I trust you’ve been well since we last met?”

Another moment passed before Xi Yangyun finally confirmed that these two juniors really had returned from another continent. Although, they ran over to frighten him late at night, and he couldn’t help feeling exasperated: “These two juniors must be really interested about something.”

Gu Zuo also smiled: “We just wanted to give Senior Sect Brother Xi a pleasant surprise.”

Xi Yangyun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “So it should’ve been pleasant? Well, at least I’m surprised.”

After joking around, Gu Zuo’s expression became a little more upright. He said: “Actually, when we returned, we only let the sect master and an extremely small number of people know. This is also the reason why we came here so late at night. In addition, we came here to tell you about Senior Sect Brother Xu’s whereabouts.”
