Chapter 1879: Chapter 1,774, humiliating peace
Translator: 549690339
Although the news that master Bao Kun had yet to return had been concealed, no one had leaked it.
However, the situation was still very bad.
His three disciples were still able to remain calm, but the grand deacons were already starting to panic.
Some clues could be seen that a few of the grand deacons who could not remain calm were already preparing to pack up and leave. Before the huge ship of the dustless moon sect sank, they quickly jumped off the ship and ran away.
How many people had the dust-free moon sect offended over the years?
Not to mention the distant ones, how many people had the moon worship sect killed in White Dragon City?
It was already a great fortune that the moon worship sect had yet to take revenge on them. It was really hard to imagine what the moon worship sect would do if the news of Master Bao Kun’s disappearance spread?
They were considered kind and benevolent to have massacred hundreds of millions of lives to vent their hatred.
They were afraid that the moon worship sect would wipe out their higher-ups as well!
Moreover, it was not just the moon worship sect. The other three major factions in the south had no reason to just stand by and watch after they received the news. They would definitely take action.
Therefore, could the grand deacons not prepare to run away?
The black lotus demon sovereign paced back and forth in a secret chamber, his brows deeply furrowed.
His face no longer had the arrogance of the past. Instead, it was filled with fear and deep anxiety.
There had been no movement for more than a year. It was really unknown whether master was still alive.
They had taken the risk to enter and search for that mysterious world when they were evacuating. Other than burying the two great deacons, they did not find any traces of master Bao Kun.
“Junior brother, calm down. With master’s Heavenly Power, who in the dark star civilization would be able to harm him?”Second senior sister comforted him, but her face was also filled with anxiety.
Only eldest senior brother, a very refined youth, said very rationally, “It’s no use being anxious. Third junior brother, calm down. Let’s discuss our countermeasures together.”
The great deacons might be able to escape. As master Bao Kun’s disciples, unless they concealed their identities, where could they escape to?
They could only save themselves.
“We’ll wait another half a year. If there’s no news in half a year, I think we can consider seeking refuge with the Windcloud Manor,”eldest senior brother said calmly.
Upon hearing this, second senior sister and Black Lotus Fiend Sovereign’s expressions changed.
Second senior sister said hesitantly, “That’s not right, right? What if master comes back in the future?”
Eldest senior brother sighed. “Why do we have to deceive ourselves? If master was still alive, wouldn’t he have sent us a message more than a year ago?”
As personal disciples, the three of them had master Bao Kun’s communication jade pendants.
If he were to be delayed outside, he would definitely deliver the news ahead of time.
Right now, the chances of him getting into an accident were extremely high. The chances of him returning were extremely slim.
Second senior sister and Black Lotus Demon Sovereign fell silent. They had indeed been deceiving themselves for the past few days.
Black Lotus Demon sovereign clenched his teeth slightly. “Alright, even if we want to rely on others, why do we have to rely on the windcloud manor? Master and the mistress of the windcloud manor had never been on good terms. It could be said that water and fire were incompatible. If we were to seek refuge with him, would the few of us direct disciples have a good life?”
Eldest senior brother said, “Even if she can’t, she has to!”
There was a hidden meaning in his words!
Second Senior Sister and Demonic Lord Black Lotus fixed their gazes on each other.
Eldest senior brother hesitated for a moment, he said, “Now that master is not around, there’s no need for me to hide some things. In fact, many years ago, the manor head of the Windcloud Manor came to me with the intention of taking me in as a disciple. However, master was around at that time and I was unwilling to seek refuge with them. It’s just that I can consider it now!”
“In the end, the head of the wind and cloud villa is still the manor head and not the Manor Head’s wife. I’ll bring both of you to join the Manor Head. What can the Manor Head’s wife do to us?”
Hearing this, the two of them could not help but be shocked.
Eldest senior brother Wuchen Junzi’s talent had long been like thunder in the ears of the five major forces in the southern region. He could be said to be the number one person below the five leaders.
His strength was very impressive.
The two of them were not surprised that the head of wind and Cloud Manor had taken him in as a disciple.
However, they did not believe what he said about respecting their master and not wanting to switch sides.
If eldest senior brother really had such a character, he would not be in a hurry to switch sides. Instead, he should look around for the reason why his master was killed and take revenge for his master.
“I will never forget eldest senior brother’s kindness, junior sister,”said second senior sister immediately.
Black Lotus revealed a look of gratitude, but he felt extremely disappointed.
Usually, he was the most important person to Venerable Baokun. Most of the work was left to him, far more important than senior brother and senior sister.
But now, he had to rely on eldest senior brother’s breathing to live.
Although eldest senior brother spoke nicely, he might not have a good life in the Windcloud Manor.
Just as the three of them came to an agreement, their portable jade seals suddenly rang out one after another.
The trio’s expressions changed. They thought that it was a message from their master, but upon seeing it, they realized that it was an ordinary communication jade seal. It came from their trusted aides that they had nurtured in the dustless moon sect.
The three of them looked at each other and entered the jade seal with different expressions.
In the end, the information inside shocked them.
“What! Master is back?”The Black Lotus Demonic Lord was the most shocked and ecstatic!
He opened the stone door and immediately rushed out.
Second senior sister also revealed a look of joy as she followed without hesitation.
Only eldest senior brother had a slightly ugly expression, but he did not dare to stay any longer as he immediately went to welcome them.
When they arrived at the dustless moon sect, where Master Bao Kun was in charge of the sect’s government affairs, it was indeed master Bao Kun. He was expressionless as he dealt with the accumulated sect affairs.
“Greetings, Master.”Black Lotus and company knelt in unison.
Master Bao Kun said nonchalantly, “All of you, stand up. The sect is indebted to all of you for the few days I was away.”
Black Lotus was agitated as he said, “This is what disciples are supposed to do. May I ask, master, why didn’t you send us any messages for more than a year? It made all of us worried to death.”
“I was tracking the emperor’s killing sword and entered a strange area. All information was cut off, so I didn’t have the time to inform you,”said Master Bao Kun.
So that was the case!
The three of them looked at each other with evasive eyes. They thought that master Bao Kun was already..
“Alright, I’m back. It’s alright. By the way, who has the invitation to the zither Grand Banquet?”
The three disciples were secretly surprised. They never expected that their master would be so well-informed when he was outside? News of the zither grand banquet was rarely circulated in the market.
Demon sovereign black lotus respectfully stepped forward and took out the invitation from the Windcloud Manor.
Venerable Baokun received it and casually flipped through it. He muttered, “It’s exactly as sect master Baiyue said.”
Sect… sect master Bai Yue!
They had met before?
“All of you retreat to the sides. Sect Master Bai Yue is coming.”Master Bao Kun seemed to have noticed and waved his sleeve, telling them to retreat.
What? He was coming to the dustless moon sect?
All along, the Moon Worship sect and the dustless moon sect had been opposing forces. They were just waiting for each other to die.
The leaders of the two sides had never visited each other before. Why did they suddenly come to visit?
Without waiting for them to savor the incredulity, a speck of dust folded in the middle of the hall without any warning. It quickly folded from the dust into a black-robed figure.
Such a strange way of appearing gave the three disciples a fright.
Eldest senior brother revealed a look of shock as he thought to himself, “What divine art is this? Spatial divine art? Folded Space?”
Second senior sister and Black Lotus Fey Lord also revealed deep reverence in their eyes.
As expected of the mysterious moon worship sect master. His means were unfathomable!
Su Yu had naturally arrived here long ago. Without him watching from the side, he could not be at ease with the puppet pretending to be Master Bao Kun.
He stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly, “Bao Kun! I did not come here today to reminisce about the past! How are we going to settle the score for you rashly charging into our moon worship sect and massacring tens of millions of disciples?”
The smell of gunpowder filled the air. The three disciples were on high alert, shocked and furious.
How was this a visit? They were clearly here to pick a fight!
Wasn’t the Moon Worship sect master looking down on their dustless moon sect? was he looking down on their master by coming to settle the score so openly?
They secretly stared at the moon worship sect master, waiting for him to get angry.
With master’s personality, how could he admit defeat?
It must be known that in terms of strength, their master was much stronger than the moon worship sect leader.
“Sect leader, please calm down. This matter is our dustless moon sect’s fault. Everything can be discussed.”
What shocked the three disciples was that Master Bao Kun actually gave in! !
However, the moon worship sect leader refused to appreciate their kindness. He snorted coldly, “Discuss? How do we discuss? Can We make all the disciples who died in vain come back to life? This sect leader came here today to seek justice for them!”
“If you can’t give me the answer I want and can not appease the anger of hundreds of millions of moon worship sect disciples, I will learn from your dust-free moon sect no matter what. I will kill every single one of you!”The leader of the Moon Worship Sect said with a murderous aura.
The three disciples were furious at the same time. The guards outside the hall were also filled with anger when they heard this.
How dare he talk nonsense in the territory of the dust-free moon sect and want to learn from the dust-free moon sect?
Just based on these words, the moon worship sect leader would never return!
He was too reckless. It was one thing for him to come to the Dust Free Moon sect alone, but he still dared to be so arrogant. Did he really think that master Bao Kun was made of Clay?
“Don’t worry, I will definitely give the sect leader a satisfactory explanation!”
However, what once again shocked them was that master Bao Kun once again backed down!
Master Bao Kun’s face was filled with apology as he said, “I am willing to do my best to compensate for the sins I have committed. The families of those dead, their future lives, cultivation, and so on, are all the responsibility of our dustless Moon sect!”
The Moon worship sect master snorted, “What kind of compensation is this? Those dead are all disciples of our moon worship sect. There’s no need for you to say it. I will also take good care of them!”
Master Bao Kun pondered for a moment. Then, he waved his sleeve and took out a map. It was the map of the forces of the Dustless Moon sect.
“If that’s the case, then our dustless moon sect will cede the land to seek peace. We hope that this can resolve the enmity between the two sides.”
When the three disciples heard this, they felt as if they were struck by lightning.
Cede the land to seek peace? There was no better way to seek peace than this!
Even if the mortal countries fought each other, they would still consider ceding the land as the humiliation of the whole country, let alone their huge sect?
Eldest senior brother immediately said, “Master, Please Think Twice! Every inch of the sphere of influence is bought with the blood of the disciples of the Dustless Moon sect. How can we cede it?”
Second senior sister also felt that her master’s actions were earth-shattering and extremely inappropriate. She said, “Eldest senior brother is right. Either we have a great battle and whoever loses will be convinced! Ceding land and seeking peace must not be allowed!”
Only the Black Lotus Demonic Lord remained silent. Although he also felt that it was wrong to do so, he did not contradict master. Instead, he stood to the side and did not say a word.
Master Bao Kun looked over coldly and said, “Do I need your disciples to interrupt when I speak?”
