The True Martial Academy Is History
Gu Xu remained somewhat unconvinced, but could only fume in impotent rage. Upon seeing three Great Ascension cultivators approaching him, he hastily swallowed the unfinished words.
“Fine! I agree!” Ultimately, Gu Xu could only agree.
“With a Heavenly Dao Oath.” Ye Chen calmly added a sentence.
Ye Chen would not show the slightest mercy to such a person, leaving no room for loopholes.
“You!” Gu Xu was momentarily enraged. If he had only agreed, there might still be room for maneuver, but if he swore by the Heavenly Dao, even if he were a Great Ascension Realm cultivator, he would absolutely be unable to violate it, otherwise he would suffer a Heavenly Dao backlash.
At best, his cultivation would make no further progress; at worst, he would suffer Dao Dissipation.
The lingering power of those Heavenly Thunders had not yet completely dissipated, and Gu Xu dared not take this lightly.
“What? Can’t you agree? Then stay here today as well.”
Ghostly Woman waved her hand, and a powerful spiritual power erupted again. That eerie, dark green spiritual power seemed to suck you in even from afar.
During the previous exchange with Ghostly Woman, this strange spiritual power had caused Gu Xu no small trouble. Even though she had only recently entered the Great Ascension stage and her control over her power was not yet very skillful, she could still fight evenly with him thanks to its strangeness.
Gu Xu was not confident that he could defeat three opponents—Ghostly Woman, along with Mo Lin and Mo Cangtian—and then kill Ye Chen.
“Fine, I, Gu Xu, swear by the Heavenly Dao!”
Having no choice, Gu Xu could only obediently take the oath. Even if he was reluctant, survival was now the priority.
“Zhenwu Academy is hereby dissolved and will never reappear!”
“I, Gu Xu, will henceforth retire to the mountain forests and no longer interfere with worldly affairs.”
“Heaven is my witness, if I violate this oath, may I be struck by lightning!”
As the words fell, several thunderclaps echoed from the sky, as if a response from the Heavenly Dao.
Several invisible shackles firmly bound Gu Xu at that moment. Once the Heavenly Dao oath was made, it could only be obeyed.
Violators would have no place to be buried.
“Is that enough!” Gu Xu said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with intense resentment.
He surveyed the scene, and finally could only swallow his resentment.
This time, he not only forfeited the entire Zhenwu Academy, but he himself also had to make an oath, completely cutting off all his future paths.
“Get lost.”
Ye Chen then spoke calmly, too lazy to pay any more attention to this defeated foe.
Hearing this, Gu Xu turned and ran, even resorting to his fastest means, fearing that Ye Chen and the others would attack him.
“Third Brother!”
Only now did the Mo Lin brothers have the leisure to approach, showering Ye Chen with concern and making sure he was not seriously injured before wisely retreating to the side.
Ghostly Woman had come a long way to help, and Ye Chen had to thank her.
“Senior, thank you for your assistance this time!”
Ye Chen sincerely bowed deeply. Without Ghostly Woman, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain.
“Where, I’m just repaying a kindness. If it weren’t for your Spirit Ring, how could I have broken through so quickly?”
From the Void Realm to the mid-stage Great Ascension, Ghostly Woman’s strength had made a tremendous leap. For ordinary cultivators to break through to Great Ascension, it would take decades or even hundreds of years; how could it be so easy?
Of course, this was also thanks to Ghostly Woman’s years of accumulation, plus her special physique, which allowed her to break through so quickly.
“It’s all thanks to Senior. Junior only added the finishing touch. I wonder what Senior’s plans are for the future?”
Ye Chen thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
With Ghostly Woman’s current strength, there was clearly no need for her to continue hiding in the Fox Clan. She was fully capable of traveling the world alone. Even if she encountered deep mountain old demons she couldn’t defeat, she would at least have the means to save her life.
“I plan to go to Central Continent, and I will leave immediately after this matter.” Ghostly Woman didn’t intend to hide anything and spoke directly.
Now, resurrecting her lover had become an obsession in her heart, the faith that supported her for thousands of years. No matter what, Ghostly Woman had to accomplish it.
Since she couldn’t find a way in this Wild Domain, she had to go to a bigger world.
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded. Central Continent? Perhaps he could go there to try his luck someday.
Without saying more, after bidding farewell to Ghostly Woman, Ye Chen followed Mo Lin’s footsteps and headed towards Sword Immortal Sect.
Ever since Ye Chen attracted the Thunder Tribulation and defeated the Ling Province army at Yumen Pass, the remaining battles no longer required the participation of Sword Immortal Sect disciples. The Gu Feng army alone was enough to annihilate them.
Now, Sword Immortal Sect had restored its former prestige. Although it was not as good as in the past, it was gradually rising, and recovery was only a matter of time.
The sect presented a thriving scene, which filled Ye Chen with comfort.
When he first joined the sect, it was in a state of ruin, beset by internal and external troubles, almost collapsing.
But fortunately, everything turned out well in the end. Perhaps it was all fate.
“Third Brother, if you hadn’t appeared, the entire sect would probably have been destroyed in this old man’s hands.”
Looking at the current sect, Mo Lin couldn’t help but sigh. In the past, he had been absorbed in cultivation and rarely concerned himself with sect affairs, but he never expected that his indulgence would bring about a devastating disaster for the sect.
Fortunately, Ye Chen stepped in and turned things around. Not only that, but even his elder brother’s injury and Old Dan’s condition had a turning point.
This resulted in Sword Immortal Sect having three Great Ascension cultivators, unprecedented prosperity!
And all of this was thanks to Ye Chen!
“Second Brother is joking. I only did a little bit.” Ye Chen lightly waved his hand, but did not refuse too strongly.
After all, these were facts that everyone could see.
If he were to evade too much, it would appear insincere.
“Big Brother, your injury still needs to be treated for a while. Take this bottle of pills. Take one each time you treat your injury. Remember to remain calm and not be hasty, otherwise you may suffer new injuries.”
Ye Chen took out a bottle of pills and gave it to Mo Cangtian. Upon hearing this, the latter nodded in understanding and accepted them without hesitation.
Both brothers could see that after this, Sword Immortal Sect would probably not be able to keep Ye Chen.
Indeed, with a genius like Ye Chen, how could he be confined to this small piece of land?
The vast world is where he belongs.
“Alright, what’s there to talk about with us two old men? Go find your friends.”
Mo Lin said with a smile, then pulled his elder brother Mo Cangtian away.
After watching them disappear from sight, Ye Chen set off to return to North Peak.
This was where he first came to Sword Immortal Sect, and it was also where he was about to leave.
“Brother Ye!”
“Brother Chen!”
“Ye Chen!”
Obviously, Ye Chen’s return had already informed everyone on North Peak, and they had been waiting for him for a while.
