Chapter 910 - Expansion Of The Alliance And Oath (1/2)

Patriarch You Yi's words were not something the people in the hall had expected.

In fact, the most shocked were none other than Lin Mu and Jing Luo.

”You were there during that attack at the shrine?” Jing Luo questioned doubtfully.

”I was, aye… it is not a day I like to remember, but it is something that taught me a lot of things.” You Yi replied, complex emotions visible in his eyes.

”I see…” Jing Luo muttered in response, not knowing what to say.

He still remembered what his grandfather had told him a long time ago.

'The companions that stood with me during the battle at the shrine will forever be my companions.' These were the words that echoed in Jing Luo's mind.

They weren't much, but they were impactful to him. This complicated things for him and he didn't know what to think of the Long Cloud sect anymore. Jing Wei himself had not said anything particular about the patriarch of the Long Cloud sect after the betrayal, and thus he didn't know how to respond.

If there was a concrete decision given to him, Jing Luo would have chosen to respond differently. But for now, he could only think to his grandfather's past words and follow them.

'Once grandfather is here, I'll let him be the judge of all. If he decrees them to be forgiven, so it shall be. And if not…' Jing Luo thought as a bloody gleam dressed his eyes for a second.

Some of the more perceptive elders and You Yi felt a murderous aura emanating from Jing Luo for a second that quickly faded away.

'Like begets like… the grandson is no less domineering than the Grandfather.' You Yi thought to himself.

With that done, Lin Mu looked on at You Yi thinking that they should start on the next step.

”I am happy that Patriarch You Yi has the foresight to see where the best future for our world lies.” Lin Mu spoke. ”And to ensure that stays true, I would like everyone here to take an oath.” He continued.

”Oh? An oath?” You Yi asked.

”Yes… an oath to declare our alliance. This will also help to weed out all others that are under the influence of Gu Yao… if there are any.” Lin Mu replied.

”An oath like this cannot be taken easily. Especially with so many people with high cultivation bases. It will take months to prepare the ceremony and the requirements.” The High Elder named Bugi spoke.

”I understand that… and you do not need to worry about that part, Elder Bugi.” Lin Mu stated.

”W-what do you—” But before the man can speak more, he was interrupted.

”I got that covered!” Lin Mu said as a character appeared on his forehead.

~SHUA~

An imposing presence exuded from the character and suppressed almost everyone that was in the hall. Only the Patriarch, Lin Mu, Jing Luo and little shrubby seemed to be free from its effects, but it was still rather shocking to most.

”What in the world?…” The elders were stunned.

Elder Boqin and others that had experienced this before were still a bit better at handling and did their best in keeping their composure. Even the few high elders that were in the Dao Shell realm found it difficult to hold it.

In total, the Long Cloud sect had five Dao Shell realm High Elders. This included High Elder Sunsen, Jingjing, Bugi, the supreme elder and one more elder that was not present here currently.
