Chapter 201: Leaving the Seclusion and Entering the World
The 13th day of the seventh lunar month.

Having completed the beheading mission, Weir returned safely to Trinity Gate. He was exhausted from the journey, having traveled thousands of kilometers in just a dozen days.

He found Dou Hong hiding in Cangqing Village in the ancient city of Linbei, and fought fiercely with him and the leader of Cangqing Village. He defeated the two with a crushing force, and then left calmly, heading south to the East China Sea, and went to a offshore fishing island to assassinate Fang Ying.

“That’s the basic situation.”

“I gave those guys who were obstructing me a chance, but they didn’t want to leave, so I dealt with them all.”

Listening to Weir's report, Cheng Zhen was not too surprised by this expected event and just asked a question casually.

"Are you injured?"

"No."

"Rest for a few days and prepare to follow me down the mountain."

It was getting closer to mid-July, and Cheng Zhen guessed that if his uncle didn't come out of seclusion, he would take a group of disciples to encircle and suppress Wu Gensheng.

Weir is also an indispensable and important fighting force. He is not at the same level as the ordinary grand masters in the martial arts world. He can at least fight Jiang Mo head-on for dozens of rounds and survive. He is already an extremely powerful existence.

"it is good"

Will didn't inquire too much. He felt that the young man's strength was becoming more and more unfathomable. If there was a chance, he was looking forward to sparring with him.

Cheng Zhen watched the guardian leave, and said to Zhuge Yu beside him in a gentle voice: "Go, help me find your senior brothers Changqing, Shuiyun, and Xiao Lu to come over."

"Okay, Brother, wait a minute."

Upon hearing the order, Zhuge Yu hurriedly put down the bone pagoda he was still polishing, patted his butt, stood up, rushed downstairs in a hurry, and went straight to the shooting range and martial arts training ground in the back mountain to find the three people respectively.

A quarter of an hour later.

On the fourth floor of the Sutra Library, Cheng Zhen held a letter in his hand and slowly moved it to the center of the tea table, saying:

"Everyone, do you still remember the agreement with Wanxiang Hall?"

"Remember, Brother."

"Before the headmaster went into seclusion, he told me that if there were any traces of the demon, I would lead the disciples to encircle and destroy it. Now, among the disciples in the sect, you have the highest level of rebirth cultivation. Does anyone want to go?"

As soon as Cheng Zhen finished speaking, Lu Jin responded: "Brother, I'll go."

"I'll go too." Shuiyun echoed.

"And me." Changqing smiled slightly.

"You all are going, you can't leave me behind, right?" Zhuge Yu prepared a lot of fun things.

All three of them had thoughts in this regard. They did not go when the Sanyi Sect went to war with Quanxing or when the demons were slain at Longhu Mountain. That was a pity, but now that they have the chance again, they definitely don't want to miss it.

"Okay, let's go together."

Cheng Zhen made a decision and arranged the next matters:
"The sect will be guarded by other disciples and Yousha at that time. I have already agreed with her yesterday;"

"Wait another three days. If the sect leader has not come out of seclusion, then we will set off."

"Ah."

Back mountain.

The crystal egg-shaped substance in the pool was covered with dense cracks, and suddenly a pair of slender hands tore out along the cracks.

"Wow!"

In an instant, the egg membrane covering the whole body disappeared like cotton wool swallowed by flames, and a figure returning to nature sat there quietly.

Jiang Mo.

After more than a year of seclusion, it finally ended. His eyes were deep, his hair was like frost and snow, and his handsome face was no longer as sharp as before, but was replaced by steadiness and gentleness.

The upright body shows flawless skin and perfect bones. Every inch of flesh and blood has been tempered to the extreme, containing unimaginable blood energy. The overall look is neither thin nor strong, but just right, a balance between the two.

A faint red-gold vertical line between the eyebrows exudes the vicissitudes of life that looks down on the world.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Mo took off his old clothes, leaned back and sank into the pool, splashing waves, and bathed in the clear, surging spring water.

About half an hour later, he dragged his wet body to the shore. The water evaporated in an instant. He changed into a white shirt, his eyes penetrated through the layers of mountains and forests, and saw the brightly lit sect. A gratified smile slowly rose.

He started walking, through the forest at night, and walked back to the Sutra Library under the bright moonlight.

"clatter"

"clatter"

"clatter"

The long-awaited footsteps and the breath that couldn't be more familiar suddenly made Cheng Zhen, who was still discussing plans with his fellow apprentices, look happy and excited.

"Uncle Master!"

"He's back!!" "Uncle Master?!"

Before Lu Jin and the other three could be further shocked, a long-lost greeting came from behind them, at the entrance to the fourth floor.

"exist."

"Long time no see, how are you?"

With Jiang Mo's arrival, Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, Chang Qing, Shui Yun, and others all turned their heads. When they saw the gray-haired young man strolling towards them, they all expressed joy like a torrent.

"Uncle Master!"

"You finally got out!!"

"It's been a year since I last saw you. I miss you so much."

"Here, Uncle Master, look at the little gadget I made."

Cheng Zhen welcomed Jiang Mo to sit down, and asked, "Xiao Lu, Junior Brother Zhuge, please quickly fetch some good tea leaves."

"Uncle-master, you haven't had your meal yet, right? I'll go make you some porridge right away." Shuiyun greeted with concern.

Seeing the disciples were so enthusiastic, the atmosphere became noisy. Jiang Mo did not refuse, nor did he think it was noisy. He smiled like the warm morning sun and said:

"Okay, thank you then."

Changqing and Shuiyun went downstairs to cook porridge. They talked as they walked, and they were very happy.

Lu Jin and Zhuge Yu went to their senior brother's dormitory, found some tea leaves, and hurried back to the fourth floor, sitting next to Jiang Mo. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they really had a lot to say.

Cheng Zhen took out a copper stove and suspended the teapot filled with cold water on it. A cluster of flames peeled off from his fingertips and never went out. It was stored in the stove and burned fiercely, and soon the water in the pot boiled.

"Uncle Master, a lot of things happened during your absence. Can I talk to you about it?"

"Well, you said."

As Jiang Mo answered, his eyes fell on a bone tower in his hand. It was the small magic weapon that Zhuge Yu had just shown him, and it was very exquisitely made.

"Over the past year, Quan Xing has revived. The current sect leader is Gu Qi'an, the senior disciple of Quan Xing whom you once killed."

"About two months ago, Wu Gensheng showed his whereabouts and was targeted by Quan Xing's disciples. They fought a battle, and then the demon withdrew from Quan Xing."

"Last month, news came that the demon had sworn brotherhood with disciples from various famous and upright sects, a total of thirty-six people."

Cheng Zhen told Jiang Mo everything he had seen and heard after coming out of seclusion, as well as the process of his participation in the talks.

"In addition to the twenty-five people who were executed, the two people imprisoned by Wudang and Tang Sect, there are still nine people who have escaped and may be with the demon."

"The information given by Wanxiang Hall will be opened in two days. I think if I go down the mountain and encounter the other eight people who are assisting the demon and blocking our encirclement, they should be killed. I don't know if there are any omissions in my decision. Please correct me, uncle."

Jiang Mo's eyes were still fixed on the bone pagoda, and he said nonchalantly:

"No omissions. There is no need to ask me for instructions. If you encounter any of them, just kill them at will. I will cover for you. No sect will dare to ask you for an explanation."

"Disciple understands." Cheng Zhen nodded.

“Gurgle!!!”

The teapot was heated red hot. Cheng Zhen held the handle of the pot and brewed the tea leaves. A faint, fresh and refreshing fragrance spread.

Lu Jin frowned suddenly, and without hesitation, he spoke boldly:
"Uncle Master, if you encounter Zheng Zibu, can you let me handle him?"

Jiang Mo did not agree immediately, but asked: "You don't want to hurt him?"

"He swore brotherhood with the devil, and I am half relieved and half resentful. I am relieved because things in the world are unpredictable, and my friendship with him has probably come to an end, but I am resentful. To be honest, if I had to watch you and my brothers kill him, I would not be able to remain indifferent."

Jiang Mo was pleased with his honesty and couldn't help asking, "Tell me, how are you going to deal with him?"

"Persuade him first, if he doesn't want to wake up and turn back"

"I won't bother my senior brother and uncle to help. As a close friend, let me send him off."

Lu Jin knew very well that this was the sect's blood feud and there was no possibility of resolving it, not to mention that his uncle had come out of seclusion. The only thing he could do was to help Zheng Zibu as much as possible. No matter what the result was, the friendship between them had been exhausted.

His words were firm, as if he was making a promise, and his determination to defend the dignity of the sect was not shaken by past friendship.

The devil must be killed.

Those who go along with him will also be killed.

Jiang Mo glanced at Lu Jin and smiled faintly: "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

"Disciple thanks Uncle Master."

Soon, the temperature of the tea dropped, and Cheng Zhen handed the tea forward and asked Jiang Mo to drink it.

Late at night, the lights in the attic were on, frosty moonlight poured in from the window, and the conversations and laughter of several people continued until dawn.
