Chapter 1227: A Sect With One Person

Rats always left a sinking ship!

Although this wasn't pleasant, it was extremely realistic. After Tashan's death, the entire Songyang Sword Sect was left with only one disciple: Yu Mo.

COMMENT

Not only did all of Tashan's disciples leave, but even those who had rebuilt the Songyang Sword Sect with Tashan also chose to leave.

Only Yu Mo was left behind in the Songyang Sword Sect!

"Mister, Third Senior Brother asked me to leave with him today. He said that there is no future here anymore and he has already contacted Longyue Manor. They say that we can become outer disciples as long as we are willing to join them."

"But I don't want to go over. Back then, Third Senior Brother promised Master that he would spend the entirety of his life fighting for the revival of the Songyang Sword Sect alongside him. Now, he actually had the nerve to leave right after Master died!"

Yu Mo was full of injustice and anger but was also at a loss.

He didn't want to leave the Songyang Sword Sect, but he also didn't know how and what he should do from now on...

Luo Yunyang looked at the helpless Yu Mo and shook his head. Although he could already speak, he did not do so.

Cultivating, meditating, and talking to Luo Yunyang had become Yu Mo's new routine. Meanwhile, the Songyang Sword Sect, which had been flourishing, had slowly begun to decline.

Honestly, Luo Yunyang was very satisfied with his present state. As he absorbed more and more spirit essences, the speed at which his Samsara Great Obliteration Millstone was grinding the Sky Wrecking Great Sage's spirit essences had also become faster.

According to Luo Yunyang's estimations, he should be able to refine all the spirit essences within 10 years. Once he was done, his cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds.

The thought of such improvement made Luo Yunyang very happy as he looked forward to that day.

Luo Yunyang was not a heartless person so he hadn't forgotten Tashan's kindness. Helping Yu Mo rebuild another sect after refining his spirit essences was a trivial matter.

The process of accelerating the Samsara Great Obliteration Millstone was extremely mundane, but the speed of such mundane cultivation was 10,000 times faster than the way Luo Yunyang cultivated usually.

There was no sun or moon on the mountain!

Luo Yunyang was able to move his body and fight freely when he finished refining one-fifth of the spirit essences in his body. Although he had not recovered his power completely, he was not far from it.

However, Luo Yunyang was still unwilling to move. In front of Yu Mo, he could only open his eyes to show that he was still alive.

Unfortunately, Yu Mo continued to stick around and talk to Luo Yunyang every day, as there was no one else for him to talk to.

One day, the sect's gate was opened by someone after being closed for a long time. Yu Mo was mopping the floor of the great hall before being startled by a loud sound.

He quickly looked in the direction of the gate and saw seven or eight people walking over in an imposing manner.

One of them was actually the Third Senior Brother he was familiar with. However, the Third Senior Brother was smiling apologetically at a young man beside him.

"Young Master, this is the Songyang Sword Sect!" The Third Senior Brother was full of smiles as he said, "The scenery here is ordinary, but it is fortunately quiet. It is the perfect place for Young Master to build a courtyard."

Upon saying that, he saw Yu Mo standing on the steps. After a slight pause, he told Yu Mo, "Yu Mo, come over and greet Young Master. It's a blessing for you to have Young Master here."

Yu Mo had matured greatly with the departure of his other disciples. Although his cultivation had not increased much, he was a lot wiser compared to how he had been in the past.

"Third Senior Brother, are you here to pay your respects to Master?" Yu Mo replied coldly.

The Third Senior Brother glared at Yu Mo and snapped. "Yu Mo, this is a Young Master of Longyue Manor. He has taken a fancy to this mountain and is going to build his extended residence here! From this day on, you will become the outer sect disciple of Longyue Manor. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Young Master!"

As soon as he said that, the Third Senior Brother gestured by moving his blue brocade robe, which represented his identity as the inner sect disciple of Longyue Manor.

Yu Mo sighed when he saw how arrogant the Third Senior Brother appeared and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness. Unfortunately, I still hope to stay in the Songyang Sword Sect. I can only appreciate your kindness."

"The Songyang Sword Sect? Do you mean the Songyang Sword Sect that's left with only one disciple?" The Young Master sneered. "You should know very well that I've always disliked people rejecting me."

He did not say this to Yu Mo but to the Third Senior Brother, who was still lively at the moment. His face fell when he heard this.

He was shaking in extreme fear!

He respectfully told the Young Master, "Although the Younger Master is magnanimous, this person will definitely not create any obstacles for you."

He then glared at Yu Mo and said angrily, "Get the hell out of here!"

Yu Mo had always revered the Third Senior Brother in the past. However, this time, Yu Mo responded in rage rudely, "Senior Brother, you really know how to distort facts. This is the Songyang Sword Sect. You are no longer a disciple of the Songyang Sword Sect, so you should be leaving instead. Please leave the Songyang Sword Sect immediately!"

The Young Master did not say a word. Instead, he observed everything with a dismissive attitude, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The Third Senior Brother's expression turned ugly as he strolled toward Yu Mo with malicious intent and enveloped him with his aura.

Although Yu Mo cultivated painstakingly these days, his cultivation was still only at the Star Grade and he had not even broken through to the Nebula Grade.

However, Yu Mo gritted his teeth and did not cower in fear. When the Third Senior Brother approached him, he shouted with all his strength, "The Songyang Sword Sect is affiliated with the Shenwu Sect. You... You will be challenging the Shenwu Sect if you dare try anything!"

Yu Mo shouted loudly, but it did not bother the flustered Third Senior Brother at all. He had lost face in front of the third Young Master so he had to recover his dignity no matter what it took.

Otherwise, his reputation in Longyue Manor would plummet.

Just as he was about to speak, the Young Master snorted. "Longfei, what are you going to do about this?"

The Third Senior Brother immediately withdrew his aura and replied, "Young Master, my Junior Brother is a bit stubborn so I'm going to reason with him nicely and let him know that he should not overestimate himself and do the impossible."

A slap landed on the Third Senior Brother's face the moment he said that.

The Third Senior Brother could avoid the slap given his cultivation base but chose to let the slap hit him hard across the face.

He did not do that because he fancied being slapped but because he had no way of disobeying his Young Master.

"Do you know what you are showing by doing this? You're provoking the Shenwu Sect. Didn't the elders tell you we must always respect the Shengwu Sect?"

The Young Master's tone was even more sinister as he added, "Don't ever think that no one would know about it because there is only a kid here. The ability of the Shenwu Sect exceeds the comprehension of people like you!"

Longfei flushed immediately but still replied respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance. I am so short-sighted that I nearly caused huge trouble."

"It will benefit you to remember this." The Young Master turned to look at Yu Mo and said, "Although the Songyang Sword Sect is affiliated with the Shenwu Sect, Longyue Manor is also affiliated with the Shenwu Sect. According to the rules of the Shenwu Sect, we can issue a battle challenge to decide the fate of your sect.

"10 battles. Longyue Manor will not invade the Songyang Sword Sect again as long as you can win one of these battles. On top of that, we will also compensate your sect with a huge fortune. I wish you luck and hope you can win a battle!"

The Young Master scoffed as he added, "This form of challenge is also part of the rules of the Shenwu Sect. You cannot refuse it, and if you do, it will be considered a provocation to the Shenwu Sect.

"By the way, you are the only one left in your sect. It will also be a provocation to the Shenwu Sect if you find someone else to fight on your behalf."

Yu Mo bit his lips tightly, as he detected total contempt in the way the Young Master looked at him. He felt as if he was prey.

Although he knew very well that he had no chance of winning the battle challenge that would determine the fate of his sect, he still agreed to it. "I will take on the challenge!"

"Very well. Deacons of the Shenwu Sect will be here to witness the battle in three days. You better not run away! You should know that nobody in this area can escape the pursuit of the Shenwu Sect." The Young Master sneered.

"Let's go!"

Longfei quickly followed the Young Master and snapped harshly at Yu Mo. "Yu Mo, you must have a death wish. As your senior brother, I wanted to find a good place for you. However, since you're courting your own death now, don't blame me when it's time for me to fight with you. I'll show you that your decision is completely wrong."

Longfei turned and chased the Young Master after saying this line. Meanwhile, his hatred and resentment for Yu Mo also increased.

This had originally been a great opportunity but stubborn Yu Mo had turned it into this situation. He had racked his brains to impress his Young Master, yet it had ended up being a futile attempt.

God knew how much effort he would need to make in the future to salvage this situation.

Yu Mo stared at the departing Young Master and his party. Even though he looked determined, his heart was filled with despair!
