The next day, Mo Sect, which had been quiet for a while, became lively once again. Within the Instantaneous Yang Palace, a large group of Mo Sect members were gathered in front of the small pavilion, looking at the tightly shut door, they let out low whispers.
”Creak!”
The tightly shut door suddenly emitted a soft sound while everyone was conversing. Immediately, all the private conversations sounded. Numerous gazes that were staring at the door contained a fiery heat and respect.
Under all the fiery gazes, a black-robed youth slowly walked out. His face was as warm as it always was, and it caused all the members of the Mo Sect to feel a sense of excitement. As the leader of the Mo Sect, Zhou Tong's every action would affect the mood of the entire Mo Sect.
The matter of Xiao Hanqing and Uncle Yu leaving, had spread throughout the entire Mo Sect overnight, but when she saw Zhou Tong's face that had returned to its normal expression, Xu Wu quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
His gaze swept across the entire audience, and every time Zhou Tong's gaze looked in his direction, the members of Mo Sect would involuntarily raise their heads and stick their chests out, their eyes blazing with excitement.
With a faint smile, Zhou Tong slowly raised his hand, and his voice came out clear: ”Let's go! Take down the Violet Firmament Palace! ”
With that, Zhou Tong took the lead and walked out of the Instantaneous Yang Palace, followed by a large group of Mo Sect members following closely behind.
One year, was enough for many things to happen. During the year that Zhou Tong was quiet, a drastic change happened within the dynasty once again.
As for the Seventh Prince, Xue Yang, he had now been officially appointed as the crown prince. As for the Second Prince, Xue Jing, he had followed Jian Chenzi's recovery and left the imperial hall under the lead of the traitors, leaving far away from the Cloud Song Dynasty. Currently, the imperial city was completely empty, with a large number of experts having disappeared without a trace.
The two sides of the Dreamy Cloud Pavilion and the Violet Firmament Palace, had actually, within this year, withdrawn from the struggle for power. However, Zhou Tong was quite clear in his heart, that these fellows were not only scheming for the authority of the Emperor, but also for something in the depths of the Wasteland. Now, not only did the Royal Sect have the immortal master Jian Chenzi, but they even had the terrifying existence of Zhou Tong, a level eight returning to the dust.
Now, Zhou Tong's attention had already completely shifted to the Cloud Song Dynasty. The three great sects pulling out from the competition one after another, had caused the imperial family to lose all its internal worries. The remaining external troubles were also limited to the Cloud Song Dynasty. Zhou Tong was very clear that if the Cloud Song Dynasty s were not annihilated, he would not have the effort to seek for more things. The eight great immortal gates, Ripple Fairy and the rest were still eyeing the Cloud Dynasty s covetously.
The huge building that the Violet Firmament Palace was originally located in was not troublesome at all in the eyes of the people of the Mo Sect. The disciples that were transferred here from the Cloud Ascension City, numbered at least a thousand, were demolished together.
In the evening, in the well-prepared Mo Sect's encampment, a dance was being played, and countless nobles came to congratulate him. Even Xue Tianya, Jian Chenzi and the others were all personally present, the place was bustling with noise and excitement, but Zhou Tong, who was sitting at the main seat, was drinking alone, and he did not look happy at all.
”Honorable Mo Li, let me toast you.” Jian Chenzi walked forward and pressed down the wine cup in Zhou Tong's hands, ”Your esteemed self has saved my life, I will never forget it.
Finished, Jian Chenzi raised the wine cup with both hands, and toasted towards Zhou Tong, raising his head to drink the wine in the cup.
”Don't make a fuss, what are you getting drunk on, it's just that I don't like it,” Zhou Tong didn't know if he was drunk or not, but he laughed bitterly and waved his hand, ”Brother Jian Chen, now that you are fully recovered, the situation in the court has calmed down, this is a joyous occasion, let's not talk about these troublesome matters, come, drink!”
Zhou Tong violently drank another cup of wine. In the midst of the long and joyous event, almost no one could hear the low moaning sound coming from Zhou Tong's throat.
”Where's Qing Yao? Wasn't this girl always arguing about having a pair of cultivation? Why didn't you come over to drink with me at this time? Zhou Tong swept through the hall with his red eyes, and realised that Yue Qingyao and the rest were not in the dining area, and could not help but joke.
”Brat, looks like you've grown up. You're getting more and more unruly.”
