Chapter 1684 The kindness of Wanchuan Sect will never be forgotten!
Ji Zhou quickly stepped forward and firmly supported the old man with both hands to prevent him from kneeling down. At the same time, he said loudly to the other villagers, "Fellow villagers, please rise! Slaying demons and protecting this area is the duty of us cultivators. We do not deserve such a grand ceremony!"
His gaze swept over the excited yet simple faces, his voice steady and powerful, clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"We are disciples of the Wanchuan Sect! We were passing through this area when we heard of a demonic beast causing havoc, so we came to eliminate it. Today, the Poisonous Crocodile has been slain, and you can now live here in peace!"
"Wanchuan Sect..."
The villagers repeated the name, which was completely unfamiliar to them, in hushed tones, their eyes shining with unparalleled reverence.
For these ordinary people and minor cultivators struggling at the bottom of society, whoever lends a helping hand in their most dangerous time is the true righteous path of the immortals!
The old man gripped Ji Zhou's arm tightly, tears streaming down his face: "Wan Chuan Sect... Good! What a wonderful Wan Chuan Sect! I've remembered it! We, the entire Luo Xia Village, have remembered it! When we return, we will erect longevity tablets for all the immortals and offer them daily worship!"
A middle-aged man next to him excitedly shouted, "Yes! Set up a longevity tablet! And tell everyone who comes by what happened today that it was the immortal of Wanchuan Sect who saved us and got rid of this beast!"
Looking at the excited villagers, Ji Zhou felt gratified; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
He patted the old man's hand and said gently, "There's no need for a memorial tablet. If you fellow villagers really want to thank us, just remember the name Wan Chuan Sect. If you encounter any injustice in the future, or hear of any innocent people suffering, please try to spread the word. If it is within our power, the disciples of Wan Chuan Sect will certainly lend a hand!"
These words deeply moved the villagers.
To them, the idea of someone who seeks no reward but only to uphold justice is something only found in legends!
"sure!"
"We will never forget the kindness of the Wanchuan Sect!"
"Rest assured, Immortals, we will definitely spread the fame of the Wanchuan Sect far and wide!"
After reassuring the villagers and politely declining their offer of their last remaining possessions as a reward, the disciples of the Battle Hall had already packed up their spoils.
Ji Zhou cupped his hands to the villagers and said, "Now that this matter is settled, we still need to hurry to other places. Take care, everyone!"
Having said that, he didn't linger any longer, turned and left with his disciples, their figures quickly disappearing into the misty vapors of Luoxia Marsh and the deepening twilight.
Behind them were the lingering figures of the villagers of Luoxia Village, reluctant to leave, and the three words "Wanchuanzong" that they repeatedly murmured with gratitude.
Their murmurs behind him warmed the hearts of Ji Zhou's brothers.
“Brother Jizhou, this kind of life is pretty good. Sure enough, following Brother Ming is the way out.”
Several people had red eyes.
Even a composed person like Jizhou couldn't help but laugh and scold, "How come they've all turned into sissies? What's there to cry about!"
"We'll be revered by everyone for a long time to come; this is just the beginning."
The brothers wiped the tears from their faces and nodded: "Yes, Brother Jizhou, you're right!"
"We're all going to be following you to do great things in the future! We can't be so effeminate!"
"It's so embarrassing!"
"Hahahahaha..."
The group of brothers burst into laughter, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Seeing his brothers in this state, Jizhou was also quite moved.
His gaze slowly drifted into the void, as if searching for Mingchuan's figure.
Mingchuan's gaze met his invisibly in the Mirror of Heaven.
Jinman smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Your little brother is quite interesting. They're working very hard."
Mingchuan was extremely proud: "That's right, none of my brothers are cowards."
Jin Man gently tapped Ming Chuan's shoulder with her fan, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mockery:
"Look at you, so smug, your tail's practically wagging in the air. But... these kids really did a good job, knowing when to advance and retreat, knowing how to hide their talents, and they haven't forgotten their roots. They're much more pleasing to the eye than those arrogant so-called geniuses in some of the big sects."
Mingchuan crossed his arms and watched the figures of Jizhou and the others disappear into the twilight in the celestial mirror, a smile never fading from his lips:
"These brothers of mine all fought alongside me from humble beginnings, we've been through life and death together, and we've seen the true nature of humanity."
"They may not have started from a high point, but their character, perseverance, and the trust they place in each other are incomparable to those flowers grown in a greenhouse."
He paused, his tone tinged with emotion yet also with absolute confidence: "More importantly, they believe in me, and in the path we are forging. The 'Myriad Transformations Return to One' technique is just the beginning. I will lead them through this Spirit Realm, forging an unprecedented path to heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Man toned down her teasing tone, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Looking at Mingchuan's confident and radiant profile, she could almost see the invisible aura gathering around him.
She gently waved her fan, her tone unusually serious: "The road to heaven... it's easy to say. That old dog Su Hongzhen is probably already furious, and the Holy Domain isn't entirely blind either. Your path will be fraught with bloodshed."
Mingchuan turned his head, his eyes filled with an air of domineering composure: "Then let them come!"
"Since I dared to establish the Wanchuan Sect and create the 'Myriad Transformations Return to One Technique,' I have never been afraid of wind and rain. Perfect, let's use their corpses to pave the way for my sect's advancement!"
He pointed in the direction Jizhou and the others had left in the Mirror of Heaven and laughed, "Besides, look, I'm not fighting alone. I still have you, Sister Jinman. If we join forces, we'll definitely be able to take over this Spirit Realm!"
Jin Man blushed at his words, and hearing his address change from Elder Jin to Sister Jin Man gave her a rather bittersweet feeling.
She waved the fan in her hand, approached Mingchuan, and raised her eyes seductively, like Daji.
"Jinman, sister?"
Mingchuan coughed and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with how I address you?"
Jin Man's red lips curled slightly, and she gently tapped his chest with her fan: "We're already in that kind of relationship, so I can call myself 'older sister,' but for you to call me 'older sister Jin Man,' isn't that a bit...?"
"Then, what should I be called?" Mingchuan pretended to be clueless.
Jin Manjiao snorted: "Call me 'wife' and let me hear it."
Damn it.
Mingchuan's heart pounded wildly.
Calling Kim Man his wife here?!
If Leng Xi and the others hear this later, I'll be torn to pieces on the spot. A new star that has just been ignited will be annihilated!
He coughed and said, "Well, let's just call them sect titles within the sect."
"Vice Sect Master Jinman! I have something to attend to, so I'll have to go now! Bye-bye!"
Watching Mingchuan's retreating figure, Jin Man snorted lightly, her eyes full of disdain.
"Smelly boy..."
