”You, after leaving for three years, have become a bit of a sissy.” Zhu Yunxin pursed her lips, unhappily shook her head and scolded.

Looking at the smiling Zhu Yunxin, Zhou Tong chuckled, then extended her hand to swipe the Sumeru Pearl, causing an identical long sword to fall into Zhou Tong's hands.

Everyone present was startled when they saw that longsword. The might emitted from it was impressively that of a grandmaster.

”I guess your water-cold sword is slowly becoming unusable too. I'll make you another one when we get back, but its shape and style are all the same. If you practice my technique, once the weapon's specifications are set, don't easily change it.”

”What is it? Do you want to abandon me and leave? How many years will it take this time? Five years? Ten years? Or twenty years? ” Zhu Yunxin pursed her lips into a smile, and asked without turning her head. Looking at her appearance, she looked like a small wife who was not satisfied with her husband going out.

”The reason why you said these words to me was to bring you back to the sect to meditate. What do you mean by 'every ten years or twenty years'? You speak as if I'm unfaithful to you.” Helplessly shaking his head, Zhou Tong walked forward and stuffed the newly forged water-cold sword into Zhu Yunxin's hands.

”If I leave, what about Yali Town? ”What if the beast tide attacks again?” Zhu Yunxin wanted to nod her head, but immediately thought of this matter and stopped herself.

You don't have to worry about that, I've been doing pretty well in the sect recently, and have already applied to the sect for permission to handle this matter, ”Zhou Tong spread out his palms and smiled,” Every elder has his own territory, and I have to pay a small price for taking over this territory with a radius of three hundred kilometers around the Yali Town. From today onwards, this entire area will be under the protection of my Mo Sect.

Zhu Yunxin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she swallowed her words back. She then stood up and walked over to Zhou Tong, grabbed him in one go, and buried his head in Zhou Tong's chest as he said in a low voice: ”Thank you for saying that it was hard on you, you're the one who's really going to work hard.”

Zhu Yunxin was about to cry, her eyes filled with pain.

All of what Zhou Tong had done was for the verbal promise he had made three years ago. Zhu Yunxin knew from the bottom of his heart that no matter how simple and casual Zhou Tong's words were, what Zhou Tong had paid was beyond his imagination. Now, he had come back to fulfill his promise. All the factors had been taken into account by him. He only wanted to let himself feel at ease to follow him, that was all.

Zhou Tong let out a light breath but didn't say anything, allowing Zhu Yunxin to hug him. He had finally completed the task that he had always kept in mind.

Of course, other than what Zhu Yunxin could understand, there was another reason why Zhou Tong would do all these things …

That was to purge the body of all the ferocious beasts, including the Iron Winged Peng. Since the conflict had already been decided, there was no way Zhou Tong could just ignore it. After Zhu Yunxin left this dangerous place, only then could he relax and be bold and do such crazy things.

”Doyen, Madam, the battlefield has been cleaned up. Do you have any other arrangements?”

Just as the two were getting tired of each other, Xu Wu came running over at the wrong time. Seeing the two of them, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed, speaking without thinking.

”Don't spout nonsense. Don't think that just because you're senior brother I won't dare to beat you up!” Zhou Tong unhappily slapped Xu Wushang's shoulder and scolded him.

”Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. I apologize to this lady.” Xu Wu immediately understood what was going on and quickly bowed towards Zhu Yunxin before turning to Zhou Tong, then turning to look at him, ”Chief, according to what you said, the residents of the neighboring towns have all sent people here to protect us, our brothers have basically found some local cultivators and will probably be able to receive them in at most three to five days. Do you want to immediately contact the sect and send some people over to help us build the Mo Sect's encampment?”

”You can contact them. The priority is to build residences for the commoners. After that, we can set up a base.” ”We'll settle this matter in the next period of time. We'll report back when we're done.” ”… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Zhou Tong waved his hand, and then went closer to Xu Wu, lowering his voice, ”I'll bring Yun Xin back to the sect first, so as to prevent her from getting angry, and then I'll come back. In the future, we'll have to spend a lot of time in the Wasteland.”

With that, Zhou Tong patted Xu Wu's shoulder, signalling for him to retreat, and walked over to Zhu Yunxin's side.

”Uhm, don't listen to their nonsense. These guys have no secrets, don't mind them.” Looking at Zhu Yunxin who was still covering her face, Zhou Tong scratched her head and laughed: ”Pack your things, I will send you back to the sect.”
