”Zhou Tong, are you sure you're not joking?”
On the main seat, Taoist Master Xing Luo looked at the Jade Light Sword in the embroidered box in front of him, his face somewhat gloomy.
”Reporting to Sect Master, I am not joking. This trip is to say my goodbyes and return the Divine Light Sword.”
In the center of the hall, Zhou Tong said respectfully while half-kneeling on the ground with both hands cupped together.
In the past few hundred years, you are the only person who has broken through the Jade Light Sword Tomb and obtained the direct disciple of the old ancestor. In terms of status, you are now the Disciplinary Elder of the sect, and returning the Divine Light Sword means that from now on, you are no longer a sect elder, and you are no longer even a disciple of my Star Gauze Sword Sect.
”Sect Master does not need to persuade me anymore, Zhou Tong will go and join the imperial court, and as an elder of the sect, he will bring about unnecessary trouble to the sect, this is something that Zhou Tong is unwilling to do.”
Zhou Tong explained everything very clearly, Zhou Tong himself clearly understood that, with the Divine Light Sword in his hands, in the territory of the human cultivators, he was always an elder of the Star Gauze Sword Sect, so many things could not be done just because he wanted to. This time, Zhou Tong's goal was the Cloud Song Dynasty.
In the hall, the Island Lords were all silent. Throughout the journey, every Island Master had taken Zhou Tong's temperament and talent to heart. Now that Zhou Tong had expressed his resignation, most of the Island Masters found it hard to accept.
Taoist Master Xing Luo pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up, and the magical artifact of the Star Gauze Sword Sect, the Star Gauze Sword, appeared in Taoist Master Xing Luo's hands.
”Let's go.”
Taoist Master Xing Luo raised his hand and waved. A sound like gold jades clashing against ethereal spirits rang out, and the seal of the sect, which had been enveloping the Divine Light Sword for thousands of years, suddenly shattered.
”Sect Master! What are you doing! ”
Zhou Tong rushed forward and wrapped the Jade Light Sword in the embroidered box, and looked at the Star Gauze Sword in the air, and asked.
”Look, aren't you reluctant to part with it?” Taoist Master Xing Luo smiled indifferently, ”Now, the seal of the Star Gauze Sword Sect's sect has been removed from the Divine Light Sword. The Divine Light Sword no longer belongs to the Star Gauze Sword Sect.
”Sovereign, this.” Zhou Tong opened his mouth in shock, his gaze sweeping across the Island Masters one by one. The Island Masters were not surprised at all, as if he knew in advance that Taoist Master Xing Luo was going to do this.
”Zhou Tong, what I have done today, has no other meaning, I just wanted to tell you that compared to his Divine Light Sword, you are the most valuable treasure of my Star Gauze Sword Sect. The inheritance magic tools can no longer be reconstructed, but if an outstanding successor like you is gone, then who knows how many more years it will take before you can reappear. ”
Taoist Master Xing Luo's reaction was extremely kind, like a benevolent elder, he looked at Zhou Tong and laughed: ”The Jade Light Sword, belongs to you, but no matter where you go, Zhou Tong, you are still a descendant of my Star Gauze Sword Sect. I know that right now, you have your own Mo Sect, and you have a powerful virtual immortal behind you to take care of. All of us are not considered any help anymore, but you must remember that no matter where you go, the Star Gauze Sword Sect is still your support. ”
Seeing the Jade Light Sword in his hand that had lost its sect's seal, Zhou Tong did not know what to say. It was hard to say if he was moved by the feeling in his heart.
The Divine Light Sword, a Grandmaster Ranked magical equipment, had its own Jade Light Sword Formation. In terms of quality, it could only be considered passable to Zhou Tong. No matter how high the revered master, or how high the emperor level, Zhou Tong would be able to easily refine a lower realm magical equipment like the Divine Light Sword. In his previous life, a magical equipment like this Divine Light Sword could not even be compared to the defective products that Zhou Tong failed to forge.
But such a sword, which could almost be said to be completely inconspicuous in Zhou Tong's eyes, was currently causing a mystifying sense of value to arise in Zhou Tong's heart, just like the Divine Weapon 'Mo Li Sword' from his previous life. It did not have any relation to quality, strength or strength, but rather was extremely valuable.
With his two hands tightly holding onto the Divine Light Sword, Zhou Tong lowered his head and half knelt down, then turned back to his knees and kowtowed to the elders.
”Many thanks to Sect Master for bestowing me the sword. Thus, this junior Zhou Tong bid farewell and listed himself as master. I hope that one day, I will be able to return to the sect and repay the kindness of all my Masters for teaching me a lesson. ”
Saying that, Zhou Tong kowtowed three times, then stood up, placed the Divine Light Sword on his back, and turned to leave without looking back.
