In just a few years, there was an additional row of memorial tablets in the ancestral hall. It should have broken the Qingyun Sect's memorial tablet record. The people who offered incense were all saddened by the scene and lamented repeatedly.
At the center of the newly added memorial tablets was Dao Xuan's memorial tablet. Daoist Dao Xuan had been so awe-inspiring several times, but he could only be displayed here in the end. What was even more pitiful was that his bones were turned into a mess by the ghost power, and they were only recognized after Xiao Yicai and the others carefully examined them when they returned their swords into the cave.
On both sides of the Dao Xuan memorial tablets were the memorial tablets of the four deceased Morning Sun Peak, Sunset Peak, Big Bamboo Peak, and Small Bamboo Peak. Among the seats of the older generation, only Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak was left.
Further on the two sides of the Dao Profound spirit tablets were some more outstanding elder seats. They were all people with deeds to look up to, people who were revered by others. Only after death could they enter here.
However, there was an unfamiliar memorial tablet that was forcefully placed under the memorial tablet.
The memorial tablet of the Qingyun Sect's Ten Thousand Swords!
It was bright red and eye-catching. He learned from Lin Jingyu that this was actually written with blood before Daoist Dao Xuan 'passed away'!
Wan Jianyi?
To most people in the Qingyun Sect, it was an extremely unfamiliar name. They really could not imagine why the sect master would place a memorial tablet here that did not belong to anyone. They wanted to withdraw, but Xiao Yicai, Zeng Shuchang, 6 Xueqi, and a few others unexpectedly insisted on staying.
In the morning, the breeze was gentle, and there were occasionally a few birds chirping. Only then did the ancestral hall not fall into a desolate and cold state.
There was not a single fallen leaf in the front courtyard of the hall. It was likely that someone had woken up early to clean it.
The fragrance in the ancestral hall was lit up to comfort the dead. Only these few cigarettes could comfort them.
Usually, the ancestral hall was very quiet unless it was a memorial ceremony. Today, however, there was a person who had knelt here early in the morning. He was very low-key, as if he was mourning.
Lin Jingyu!
It was him kneeling there.
He had already changed back into his Qingyun Sect disciple uniform and lowered his head in silence. The Dragon Slaying Sword was right beside him, calm and unadorned, within reach. In front of him was the sackcloth he usually wore to clean the courtyard, neatly arranged.
Lin Jingyu slowly raised his head and looked at the clothes in front of him for a while before continuing to look up at the memorial tablets.
Sweeping lightly over all the memorial tablets, he did not even stop to look at Dao Xuan's memorial tablet. Finally, his gaze shockingly stopped on that memorial tablet that everyone was unfamiliar with.
Looking at Wan Jianyi's memorial tablet, Lin Jingyu took a deep breath and said slowly,""Senior, thank you for teaching me the technique for ten years. I will never forget it.”
After saying that, Lin Jingyu kowtowed three times respectfully. He stood up and continued,"Senior died for no reason, and I haven't been able to avenge you. I'm deeply sorry for letting you down. But, but he is my brother after all…"
Lin Jingyu swallowed his words and lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head again and said with determination in his eyes,"Thus, I made two oaths in front of Senior's spirit. The first was to guard Senior's spirit for a year to repay Senior's kindness. Now that a year has passed, I have come to bid farewell to you.”
Lin Jingyu paused for a moment and said in an even more determined tone,""The second is to use the technique that Senior taught me and this Dragon Slaying Sword to defeat that person.”
Lin Jingyu's expression was solemn, and he was indescribably determined. The Dragon Slaying Sword followed Lin Jingyu's intention and made a light clang.
Lin Jingyu grabbed the Dragon Slaying Sword and kowtowed three more times to the memorial tablet. Then, he suddenly stood up and stepped out of the door.
"Woo…"
Another survivor of Cao Miao Village, the crazy Second Uncle Wang, was sitting at the door. He was half-protecting the pastry in his hand and eating with his head lowered.
Lin Jingyu walked to his side, squatted down, and said softly,""Second Uncle Wang, do you still remember what I taught you?”
Second Uncle Wang had seen Lin Jingyu for a long time, so he no longer called him a ghost when he saw him. He raised his head and thought for a moment, then picked up the broom that he had thrown aside and started cleaning the courtyard. From afar, one could tell that he was not a normal person.
Lin Jingyu smiled and shouted," Second Uncle Wang, there's no need to be anxious. Clean up here properly. I'll bring you some green bean cakes next time!"”
Second Uncle Wang snorted, but his hands did not stop. He waved the broom like a general. It was hard to tell if he was cleaning or fighting.
Lin Jingyu's whiskers stood still for a while before he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.
When Second Uncle Wang saw that Lin Jingyu had gone far away, he grabbed the pastries on the ground and started eating again.
The sky was wider, the land was wider, and the trees were cool and refreshing. It dispersed people's mood, but it also brought back memories. At the fork of the path, Lin Jingyu was suddenly stunned. He gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly and said to himself,"Xiaofan is already dead.”
"Gui Li, I must defeat you!”He raised his head and shouted, his voice reverberating through the forest before dissipating.
In the main hall of Tongtian Peak, in the Jade Pure Hall.
All seven peak leaders had gathered and were in the middle of a meeting. The person presiding over this meeting was the new sect master of the Qingyun Sect, Xiao Yicai. He sat upright with a worried expression.
The other six people in the hall were the seats of the other six peaks. They were Zeng Shuchang of Fenghui Peak, Qi Hao of Dragon Peak, Song Daren of Big Bamboo Peak, 6 Xueqi of Small Bamboo Peak, Shen Tiandou of Morning Sun Peak, and Han Weiyou of Sunset Peak, who had changed seats twice.
Zeng Shuchang was the most senior among them. He was also deep in thought at the side. He occasionally swept his gaze across the crowd and felt a sense of desolation. In just a short span of more than ten years, the faces of the Qingyun Sect's meeting had changed.
The other five didn't say anything, waiting for Xiao Yicai or Zeng Shuchang to speak first. After all, their status and seniority were there.
After a long period of silence, Xiao Yi swept his gaze across the crowd and said indifferently,""What do you guys think?"
After saying that, Xiao Yicai looked at Zeng Shuchang and said,""Martial Uncle Zeng, tell me first."
Zeng Shuchang thought for a moment and said," This is obviously a trap. How could the Exterminating Ghost Sect be so kind as to tell us the location of the Ghost King Sect's headquarters for no reason?"”
Qi Hao smiled faintly and said," Uncle-Master Zeng, this is not surprising. Didn't I hear Senior Brother Zeng mention it last time? Although the Exterminating Ghost Sect and the Ghost King Sect are both demonic sects, they are like fire and water. This time, the Exterminating Ghost Sect probably wants to use the hands of the righteous path to get rid of the Ghost King Sect, this enemy."”
Zeng Shuchang was extremely unhappy after hearing this. He snorted and said,"Last time, Little Shu destroyed the Demon Cult's Holy Temple, and the Demon Cult's people were in a fluster. How could they find us so quickly?”
"If this is a trap, isn't it too obvious?" Shen Tiandou suddenly said.”
Xiao Yicai smiled bitterly and said," You don't know this. The Exterminating Ghost Sect has already informed the Heavenly Note Temple and the Burning Incense Valley. We are now on the righteous path, and the Ghost King's calamity has brought great disaster. If we are suspicious and don't go, how will we face the righteous sects and all living beings in the world?"”
Song Daren was shocked and asked,""So you have to go?"
Xiao Yicai nodded and replied,"I must go!"”
At this time, Master Bing Yan and Xue Qi, who had always been quiet, suddenly stood up and said,"Since we have to go, I think we should send more important people to destroy the Ghost King Sect.”
Xiao Yicai cursed inwardly. As expected, before he could say anything, 6Xueqi cupped her hands and said,"My Little Bamboo Peak has always been free recently. I'm willing to go personally!”
His tone was firm, making Xiao Yicai feel a chill run down his spine. He laughed dryly and thought for a moment before saying,""This time, we are also going to see the tricks of the Demonic Sect. We may not be able to eliminate the Ghost King Sect, so it is better for the younger generation disciples to go down the mountain to experience.”
Xiao Yicai quickly turned around and did not give 6 Xueqi any time to speak. He said to Uncle Zeng,""Martial Uncle Ceng, I'll have to trouble Junior Martial Brother Ceng to lead the team this time.”
This gave Zeng Shushu another chance to show off. Uncle Zeng was overjoyed and replied,""Alright, I'll agree on his behalf."
Xiao Yicai laughed and said,"Then please come here tonight. I have a few words to say to him."?”
It seemed that the matter was settled. Uncle Zeng said happily,"I'll tell Little Shu when I get back."
Xue Qi stood at the side with an ugly expression. She called out to Xiao Yicai again,""Senior Brother Xiao…"
Xiao Yicai raised his hand and stopped 6 Xueqi from continuing. He said,""Sixth Junior Sister, the matter has been decided. After all, the situation has just stabilized. Little Bamboo Peak can't be without seats.”
Xue Qibing's expression changed, and she finally said,""Senior apprentice-brother can lead the team. I can assist from the side.”
The expressions of the six people present changed. Xue Qi actually wanted to be under a disciple with her seat status. To them, this was something that was impossible even if they were beaten to death.
Song Daren lowered his head and sighed. Looking at Xueqi's appearance, coupled with the news he received from Du Bishu, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He guessed that Xiao Shi had not hidden the matter.
Xiao Yicai glanced at Song Daren's expression and finally stood up angrily, saying loudly,""This matter has already been decided. No one is allowed to go to the Seven Peak Seats. That's all for today."
Xiao Yicai wanted to say something like " if you still acknowledge me as the sect master ", but he couldn't say it out loud. In the end, he only said these few words. He turned around and walked towards the inner hall, leaving the main hall first.
She turned around and did not say anything else. She did not even look guilty or sad. She was only full of sorrow and confusion. She angrily faced the entrance of the Jade Pure Palace and was the second to leave.
The rest of the people looked at each other, their heads full of dew. Then, they shook their heads and sighed bitterly. They left one after another, leaving behind an empty Jade Pure Hall.
After a while, Xiao Yicai's whiskers came back and sat back in his chair. He looked at the six empty chairs, especially the one belonging to Xue Qi, and was at a loss.
He felt that sitting on a chair was more tiring than standing, especially this righteous sect leader chair.
A figure flashed, and it turned out to be a person who had entered.
Xiao Yicai was stunned. He sat up straight and saw that the person who came was Lin Jingyu, who loved to sweep the ancestral hall.
"Junior Brother Lin?" Xiao Yicai didn't know him very well, so he asked softly,""Why are you here? Or did something happen to the ancestral hall?"
Lin Jingyu shook his head and said," Neither. I've already completed my spirit guard period, so I came out to help Qingyun."”
Xiao Yicai looked at him and smiled. This was a good thing! Although he didn't come out when the Ghost King attacked the mountain, Xiao Yicai had witnessed his ability. Now that he could come out on his own to help the Green Cloud, it was more of a joy than a worry.
Xiao Yicai slowly said,"Alright then, you can go back to Dragon Peak first."”
Lin Jingyu cupped his fists and said in a low voice,""I've already met Senior Brother Qi Hao just now. There's no need to rush back.”
"I heard from Senior Brother Qi Hao that our Qingyun Sect is going to Hu Qi Mountain to destroy the Ghost King Sect?"”
Xiao Yicai nodded and did not reply.
Lin Jingyu's spirit rose and he said resolutely,""Reporting to Sect Leader Senior Brother, I want to go!”
His tone was firm and his voice was loud and clear. There was a hint of dominance in his voice, and his cultivation had increased by a lot. Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment before he slowly said,""Alright then."
