Zhu Yunxin took a deep breath, then stood up and smiled at Zhou Tong.
”What is it? You can't bear to leave? How about I give you a walk around? ” Seeing that Zhu Yunxin did not seem to have the intention to move, Zhou Tong chuckled and shrugged.
”Are you going to leave immediately after sending me back?” Zhu Yunxin squinted her eyes and smiled at Zhou Tong, and asked gently.
”How could this be?” Being asked in such a manner, Zhou Tong immediately felt guilty, and his gaze unconsciously drifted off into the distance.
”You can't have forgotten that everything I learned was taught by you, right? If you speak so loudly, are you afraid that I won't be able to hear you? ”
Looking at Zhou Tong's troubled expression, Zhu Yunxin could not help but burst out laughing, then said gently: ”I understand, you still need to come back and deal with the problem of the demonic cultivator, these problems can only be solved by you, you do not need to explain to me, I am not that unreasonable.”
”What's more, it's not like I need you to stay with me.” As he said that, Zhu Yunxin pouted. His expression showed faint disappointment.
”I, Yun Xin, didn't promise you anything, if …”
”Hmph, I don't want you to promise anything.” With a light snort, Zhu Yunxin turned around with both of his hands behind his back, ”I've waited for three years, waiting another three years is nothing. You'll eventually finish settling the matters here, and then return.
Zhou Tong was a bit at a loss as to how to continue. He wanted to say something several times, but could not do so while smiling bitterly.
After a long while, Zhu Yunxin wrinkled her nose and turned around. Her eyes were a little red as she looked straight at Zhou Tong. I can wait for you to come back, whether it's five years or ten years, or even a hundred years. It's fine if you treat me as your disciple, or as an idiot who refuses to let go even if you insist on dying, but as long as you promise me, you will come back.
Zhou Tong let out a long sigh as he smiled bitterly. Then, he stepped forward and gently hugged Zhu Yunxin as he said softly, ”I will return. Once I have settled the matters here, I will return immediately.” I promise you, just like last time. ”
”Pull the hook.” Zhu Yunxin nodded her head, and in a muffled voice, she extended his finger and pulled Zhou Tong's finger up, ”I will wait for your return.”
Zhou Tong stared blankly at him for a while before he let out a relieved laugh, ”Mn, pinky swear.”
After that, under Zhu Yunxin's repeated attempts to stop him, Zhou Tong only arranged for a few vice sect masters, Jiang Qi, and a few other members of the Mo Sect to bring along their own clan elders and overseers to escort Zhu Yunxin back to the Star Gauze Sword Sect. On the other hand, Zhou Tong himself stayed in the Wasteland, cleaning the surrounding fierce beasts while expanding the territory of the Mo Sect.
A month's time passed in the blink of an eye. Whether it was the Swordclaw Lizard s or the Iron Winged Peng s, both of them seemed to have chosen to guard the place.
When the human forces had set foot in the Western Wasteland, this news had spread throughout the entire The Outer Regions of the Wasteland along with the construction of the encampment. There were many fierce beasts that maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.
After all, this was a power led by a human cultivator who had defeated both the Iron Winged Peng and the Swordclaw Lizard. In the The Outer Regions of the Wasteland, those who claimed that their strength was inferior to those two races would naturally not dare to recklessly invade, and the powerful races would continue to wait and see.
After all, there were no clear interests in between the fierce beasts, and many of the stronger races waited quietly for the Mo Sect to clash with the other two, so that they could reap the benefits while sitting down and reaping the benefits.
Mo Sect's Great Desolate Headquarters, Conference Room.
In the large hall, dozens of people were noisy and chatting passionately. In just a short month, the originally quiet and peaceful town's cultivators had already become a part of the battle with the new Mo Sect.
Suddenly, the doors to the great hall were pushed open. A youth that looked rather thin walked in indifferently.
”Cough, quiet. The head is here!”
Xu Wuqing coughed and the hall immediately quieted down. Dozens of eyes looked at the young man who was slowly walking over with eyes filled with admiration.
