Wang Youjun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter had finally been settled.
He regretted bringing Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun along, as it had added some unpredictable variables.
However, without them, we wouldn't have been able to get through that misty sea.
Fortunately, it ended well.
It wasn't that he believed the bond between father and son could be so strong, but rather that Wang Neishi, this playboy, was primarily skilled with women. Even with his three divine talismans, he was no match for him, and it would be easy to control him.
Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun's hearts sank to the bottom. At this point, it was too late for them to stop it. They could only watch helplessly as Wang Neishi seized the three divine talismans.
"Hahaha, I never thought it would fall into my hands in the end. It seems I am truly the chosen one." Wang Neishi's breathing suddenly became rapid and intense. With these three divine talismans by his side, not to mention the brothers he usually competed with, he might even be able to challenge his father's position as head of the family.
Suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he desperately tried to shake off the three talismans, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.
The three who were fighting stopped their attack and turned to look at the high platform.
Wang Neishi reached out a hand to Wang Youjun, his eyes pleading: "Save me..."
Wang Youjun was startled and hurriedly looked at the three talismans. He saw that the cinnabar images on the yellow paper were unusually eerie and bright red, as if they had been repainted with blood.
At the same time, Wang Neishi visibly withered away.
In the blink of an eye, he, who was once quite plump, was completely turned into a dried-up corpse.
Wang Youjun: "!!!"
Cloud Moon: "..."
Xie Daoyun: "???"
She was thankful that if she hadn't been replaced by the other person, she would have been the one drained dry this time.
Wang Youjun had no time for regret; instead, he looked up at the high platform.
The three divine runes, flashing with scarlet blood light, began to spin wildly around the charred corpse in the center.
Strands of blood-red threads emerged from the divine talisman and connected with the charred corpse, as if the talisman was supplying the charred corpse with its life essence.
Gradually, the shriveled, charred corpse began to swell up, and the black charcoal skin on its surface began to peel off, revealing new flesh growing inside.
Seeing this astonishing scene, Yun Jianyue had no heart to continue fighting. She withdrew her Blood Sea Domain and couldn't help but swallow hard: "I remember you said before that your Sect Leader Sun failed his tribulation and was struck by lightning and died?"
“Theoretically, yes.” Wang Youjun’s voice was also dry.
Sensing an inexplicable aura rising up, both of them changed their expressions drastically and turned to run.
When Yun Jianyue ran, she also brought Xie Daoyun, who was completely bewildered.
However, the three of them soon had to stop, because they were blocked by the terrifying thunderstorm in the stone forest, and they couldn't get out even if they wanted to.
Just then, a series of cracking sounds came. The three of them turned around and saw that the black charred skin on the charred corpse was peeling off piece by piece, and finally, a tall figure stood up from the stool.
With broad eyes and a wide nose, he exuded an inexplicable aura of power. No one knew where he found a Taoist robe and draped it over his shoulders. The three divine talismans that had been rapidly swirling around him disappeared into the robe.
He lowered his head and scanned the group, his gaze sharp as if it were tangible, causing a slight stinging sensation on the skin of the group.
Xie Daoyun was one thing, but Yun Jianyue, with his higher cultivation, sensed it more clearly. This guy's aura was no less than Zhao Hao's!
With a thud, Wang Youjun, who had been so arrogant just moments before, knelt down: "Your subordinate pays respects to the leader! Your virtues, both literary and martial, benefit all people. May you reign for a thousand years and unify the martial world!"
Yun Jianyue and Xie Daoyun exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. This guy was actually Sun En, the leader of the Shenxiao Sect.
As for making them kneel down and kowtow, that's absolutely impossible. Not to mention Yun Jianyue's aloofness, Xie Daoyun doesn't even need to kneel down when facing her teacher, so how could she possibly kneel down to a stranger?
"Oh, it's Elder Wang." Sun En glanced at him. "What are you doing here?"
Feeling his gaze, Wang Youjun felt his back was soaked with sweat: "After the sect leader disappeared, I have been searching for his whereabouts for years. Not long ago, I finally found some clues. I originally wanted to come and welcome back the sect leader's remains for a grand burial. I didn't expect that the sect leader is still alive. This is truly a great joy. After you go back, our Shenxiao Sect will no longer have to be torn apart."
"Fragmented?" Sun En's gaze sharpened.
Wang Youjun didn't dare wipe the sweat from his forehead and quickly explained, "The main reason is that since you've been missing for many years, Elder Sun, Elder Qian, Elder Li, and others all want to become the leader, and they're all vying for the position..."
Sun En gave him a deep look: "You're probably one of them, aren't you?"
Wang Youjun broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "I just didn't want the Shenxiao Sect to fall apart. If I had known that the sect leader was still alive, I naturally wouldn't have had such thoughts."
Sun En sneered, "Fine, considering that your arrival has allowed me to recover, I will let it go."
"Thank you, Master!" Wang Youjun kowtowed repeatedly, his heart filled with remorse.
This time, I suffered heavy losses. Most of the elites who stayed behind to guard Wangjiawu were lost, and even my son died. All my hard work has resulted in this outcome!
Of course, he dared not show any of this.
At this moment, Sun En looked at Yun Jianyue and the other woman: "Who are they? Why don't they kneel before me?"
Yun Jianyue said arrogantly, "I have roamed the world without ever kneeling, not even to the emperor. Why should I kneel to you?"
