Seeing that Qin Potian and the others remained silent for a long time, Yan Wuhen frowned and asked, "Junior Nephew Qin, do you not wish to return to the sect?"

"Grandmaster Yan, some things still need to be considered carefully!"

"For such an important matter, I feel it is necessary to convene a meeting of all disciples to discuss and vote on it."

Qin Potian spoke calmly, and after finishing, continued to explain:

"Back then, for certain reasons, no one knew about the existence of the Xuantian Sect."

"Only a handful of us truly know these facts."

"After they got out, everyone was grateful to Chu Mo for saving them, which is why they all joined the God-Slaying Alliance. Now, asking them to rejoin the Xuan Tian Sect is probably asking too much of them."

Yan Wuhen's face instantly turned cold, and he said anxiously and angrily:

"So you mean you don't identify with yourselves as disciples of the Xuantian Sect, is that right?"

"Do you know? Ten thousand years ago, we fought a bloody battle with the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Skull Sect, and were ultimately defeated."

"To preserve the sect's lineage and to prevent the deaths of our geniuses, we spared no effort to bury your ancestors in the Burial Abyss."

"While we continued to fight on the outside world, helping your ancestors defend against powerful enemies, that's how you came to be where you are today."

"But what about you? To attach yourselves to the strong, you've even abandoned your own sects! You're utterly ungrateful!"

Yan Wuhen spoke with righteous indignation, his eyes filled with indignation.

Qin Potian and the others couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The reason why the people of Lingyin Village are where they are today is indeed due to this cause and effect.

Of course, without Chu Mo's appearance, everyone's fate would have been even more tragic.

However, the prerequisite for being saved was ultimately the sect's kindness in hiding him, which cannot be denied.

Moreover, as an elder of the sect, it was not unreasonable for the other party to ask us to acknowledge our ancestors and return to our roots.

In fact, Qin Potian and the others were able to accept the arrangement of returning to their sect and even their new identities.

The only problem is the arrangement for Chu Mo.

Chu Mo is now the leader of the God-Slaying Alliance and one of the two overlords of the entire Kunlun Realm.

Making him subject to the Xuan Tian Sect is something neither Chu Mo nor they would agree to, let alone Chu Mo himself!

Seeing that the others remained unmoved, Yan Wuhen's expression instantly turned icy.

"Heh, once people become successful, they really do forget their roots!"

"Sect Master, they are incredibly powerful in the Kunlun Realm, why would they acknowledge us, their fallen fellow disciples?"

"Ungrateful! If it weren't for the sect's seniors risking their lives, how could these people be so carefree?"

The others also looked indignant and began to loudly condemn it.

Only Zou Shouzhu remained silent.

He had once believed that things were as they were back then, until one day, his master revealed the truth to him on his deathbed.

Those fellow disciples hidden in the Burial God Abyss were nothing but bait!

The purpose was to lure the pursuers inside as well.

Unfortunately, the final setup wasn't perfect.

The elder who pretended to surrender to the Heavenly Demon Sect and was in charge of perfecting the deception actually surrendered in the end!

Thus, those pitiful disciples who claimed to be preserving their lineage but actually wanted the Heavenly Demon Sect to believe they knew the whereabouts of the divine artifact.

Thus, it was sealed in the Burial Abyss for ten thousand years.

One of his junior brothers, who was also imprisoned there back then, was his master's own son!

I just wonder if that junior brother is still alive?

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: how did these people get out?

The Burial Abyss is not yet open.

Could it be...?

Is it related to Chu Mo's help in getting out of trouble, as mentioned earlier?

certainly.

He also considered another possibility.

That's the legendary artifact, the peerless treasure that can make people immortal!

Seeing the glint of greed in the sect leader's eyes, he believed that the sect leader must have thought of this as well.

But he didn't mention it at all, or even ask how these fellow disciples left the Burial God Abyss.

How could he not understand the sect leader's thoughts?

But there are some things that the sect leader shouldn't even be concerned about!

How could Chu Mo have gotten to where he is today so easily?

How laughable that the sect leader actually wants to use sect rules to bind people? He's truly blinded by greed!

After a long sigh, Zou Shouzhou remained silent, his gaze filled with sorrow.

He knew that persuasion was useless.

The only thing I can do is find a way to get away from him.

Perhaps the Xuan Tian Sect here would be a good choice.

Despite feeling guilty, Qin Potian still refused to budge.

"Grandmaster Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll take you to your lodgings now."

"Some things really can't be rushed. I'll talk to them after some time."

Qin Potian naturally wouldn't allow his decision to cause his disciple any trouble.

If there's any bad reputation, then I'll just have to bear it myself!

Yan Wuhen really wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he held back and finally snorted coldly in resentment:

"Those disciples don't want to return to the sect. What about you few? Do you share the same thought?"

“Grandmaster Yan, the main reason we have been able to persevere to this day is that we advance and retreat together. You must know this principle as well.”

Jiang Fengchun couldn't stand his aggressive manner, but given the other party's status, he could only retort in a mild way.

Yan Wuhen's gaze turned slightly cold; the majesty of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator was about to be overwhelmed.

But considering the location and the other party's identity, they had no choice but to give up.

This is Chu Mo's own uncle, although he is several generations lower in seniority than Chu Mo, that doesn't stop them from being close!
