Everyone saw that the one returning with Ye Xiu was the Taoist priest from before.
Uncle Two and Aunt quickly got up to serve tea and water, continuously expressing their gratitude.
"Old Zhao, do you want to learn something? You know, like we do," Ye Xiu said.
"Of course! If I had such skills, I wouldn't have to worry about my later years! Haha..." Zhao Wentong replied with a laugh.
Clearly, Zhao Wentong was very eager, but he lacked the talent for it.
"This is Ji Tongzhou, the Daoist Master. Why don't you become his disciple? You can follow him back to the mountain to study spells and talismans," Ye Xiu suggested.
"Great! I can't believe it!" Zhao Wentong exclaimed joyfully.
After a moment of happiness, the smile on Zhao Wentong's face faded.
"Back to the mountain? So he won't be with us?"
"Exactly. Right now, following us won't help much, and it's quite dangerous. It's better for you to learn some skills from the Daoist Master first."
"Well... that's not impossible."
"What’s wrong? Do you have any questions?"
"It's just that I don't know how long it will take to cultivate in the mountains."
Ji Tongzhou responded, "Cultivation isn't something that can be achieved overnight. It requires years of hard work and dedication to achieve results. Don't worry; following me will allow you to learn more useful things than joining a sect."
"What about the school?"
"The school? It's just a system for ordinary people. Once you complete your training and return, you won't be an ordinary person anymore. Cultivators have their own future. Cultivators don't need rules and regulations to protect themselves; having strength is enough! Besides, don't you want to be able to help your friends more?"
"That's true... Let me think it over."
"Take your time; there's no rush."
Just then, a black pigeon suddenly flew in through the window and landed on Tang Luor's shoulder.
Everyone turned to look at Tang Luor, who had a furrowed brow.
"So there’s someone from a noble family here!" Ji Tongzhou remarked.
"How can you tell, Ji Daozhang?"
"This black pigeon is used by noble families to convey messages in two ways: one is for non-secret matters, which are communicated using black pigeons, while the other involves using their own methods for messages that must remain confidential. Clearly, this indicates there's some notification from the sect."
"Tang Luor, what happened?"
Tang Luor's expression grew increasingly grim, indicating something serious had occurred.
"It's over..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu and Zhao Wentong quickly got up and moved closer to Tang Luor.
"The Two Supremes' ultimate technique Beikun has injured Brother Changting. The Maple Whisper Tower has somehow sealed Brother Changting's spiritual power. Right now, Brother Changting is at the Dao Alliance, and next month, there will be a demon-slaying ceremony at the Dao Alliance, with orders to capture all Demon Remnants."
As soon as those words were spoken, Ye Xiu and Tang Luor were the most shocked.
"How could Yan Changting be injured by someone else? With his level of cultivation..."
"Brother Changting was already injured. Last time, he killed Zhang Yiding, the leader of Maple Whisper Tower, to protect you. Then, when he was about to kill Haitai Ping, the leader of Dao Alliance, a beam of light fell. Although he seemed fine on the surface, after taking you and me away, he coughed up blood."
"A beam of light?" Ye Xiu pondered for a moment. "Was it a huge ice-blue beam?"
"How do you know? You were unconscious at that time!"
"I saw it just now..." Ye Xiu's expression turned serious.
What was that beam of light? It could even harm the strongest person in the world, and it came down from above. Who was watching over this world?
Tang Luor looked at Ye Xiu with concern. "What should we do now? The key is you..."
"I'm still not a disciple of Seven Lives Sect! I haven't joined!"
Ji Tongzhou, who had been listening, spat out the tea he had just sipped when he heard the mention of Seven Lives Sect.
"What? You're a disciple of Seven Lives Sect?"
"Didn't I just say so? I haven't joined Seven Lives Sect; they insisted that I join."
Tang Luor said, "But back then, to protect you, he declared in front of all the sects, 'I will protect Tang Men and Junior Brother Ye Xiu!' Do you think Dao Alliance will let you go now?"
"Seven Lives Sect! Seven Lives Sect!" Ji Tongzhou showed no restraint in his excitement.
"Do you also know about Ji Daozhang?"
"Who doesn't know about the Seven Lives Sect? If I had been born three thousand years earlier, I would have definitely joined the Seven Lives Sect! Could it be that what Friend Ye used against me was the techniques of the Seven Lives Sect? That Silver Needle, that speed, was truly extraordinary!" Ji Tongzhou said.
"I'm not entirely clear either. Those techniques were given to me by Yan Changting, and he personally taught me the Mind Method. It seems that the spiritual energy we use is called Seven Lives Spirit Power, which is exclusive to the Seven Lives Sect!"
"This is incredible!" Ji Tongzhou's excitement was beyond words.
Spiritual energy originates from the earth, and since ancient times, it seems that only the Seven Lives Sect has had its own unique spiritual energy!
"But what do we do now?" Ye Xiu asked.
"We can only hide for now. They won't move against the Tang family for the time being; at most, they'll just strike a blow. The most important thing right now is your safety."
This is a major crisis! Previously, Ye Xiu had dared to swagger into the Dao Alliance as a disciple of the Seven Lives Sect, confronting Haitai Ping without fear. But in no time at all, he had become an enemy! And it was all because of that very identity!
The mention of the Seven Lives Sect was truly terrifying; it always held such great power!
"I can't stay in Starlit City any longer, and I can't go back to school."
Ji Tongzhou suggested, "Why don't you come back to the mountains with me and hide out for a while?"
"But if we can hide from the first day of the month, can we hide from the fifteenth? Besides, what about Yan Changting? After all, he saved my life!"
Tang Luor said, "We still have a month to think of a strategy."
"Our opponent is the Dao Alliance, and there are many top-tier sects involved. Right now, it's just you and me; how can we possibly deal with them?" Ye Xiu said anxiously.
At that moment, Zhao Wentong maintained a serious expression and said firmly, "I will go to the mountains to cultivate with Ji Daozhang!"
In such a dire crisis, Zhao Wentong was just going to run away?
Of course not. Zhao Wentong struggled internally for a while. He was just an ordinary mortal now, and following Ye Xiu and the others would only create chaos. It would be better to quickly learn some skills. If Ye Xiu really fell victim to the Dao Alliance, he would have the ability to take revenge in the future. If he became capable, he could also help Ye Xiu if he managed to overcome this crisis.
"Alright!" Ye Xiu said. "Old Zhao, you should follow Ji Daozhang and focus on your training. Tang Luor and I will leave first. We can't waste any time; we need to act quickly."
Ji Tongzhou clearly wanted to help Ye Xiu as well, but after weighing his options, he said, "Direction, I will certainly impart everything I know!"
"Thank you, Daozhang," Ye Xiu replied. "Time is short; we should get going."
With that, Ye Xiu bid farewell to Uncle Two, and the four of them set off.
They had barely walked a hundred steps when a group of people approached and surrounded them completely.
