"Yang Qing is dead!"
Regret, pain, and loss welled in a thousand pairs of eyes .
The gloom deepened .
"Yang Qing . . . . " Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng exchanged looks . There was a hint of surprise in their eyes .
Clearly, this name rang a bell for them as well .
"Night Wishes for Snow and Lan Boli are at the Stone Gate of a Thousand Swords . The Sect Leader, Sect-Protector, and other elders have already gone over!" the middle-aged disciple said, heartbroken .
"Let's go see . " Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng hurried to leave .
It was not just them . Many mounted their own Immortal Cranes, flying towards the direction indicated .
"Let's go . "
This was clearly something big .
Wu Yu had never met Yang Qing, but he was his second senior brother after all .
Su Yanli and the others must be heartbroken .
Hundreds of Immortal Cranes and Heavenly Cloud Rocs broke through the clouds, headed for the Stone Gate of a Thousand Swords . It was a rousing scene .
"Zhao Changtian!"
Wu Yu chased from behind . It was Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng in front of him .
With such a grave matter on hand, they had already forgotten their dissatisfaction with Wu Yu .
"Wu Yu, when it comes to it, Yang Qing back in the day was exactly like how you are now . The resemblance is strong . Both of you came from servant backgrounds, and then were favored by the Sect Leader, and your rise was exceptional . "
"And coincidence or otherwise, your personalities are very similar as well . You have this untamable streak in you . But Yang Qing was even more violent; he would kill anyone . If not for the fact that he slaughtered a few core disciples and incited mass anger against him, the Sect Leader would not have exiled him . "

From their description, Wu Yu had a rough measure of the man .
Like him, he had come from a servant background, and then his exceptional talent had shone through . Their unruly nature wrought havoc with the sword sect's rules, and then he had been exiled . He must still have held the highest respect for Feng Xueya in his heart, or he would not have laid down so many good deeds in all these years .
More and more Immortal Cranes flew towards the Stone Gate of a Thousand Swords .
From afar, one could see that many were gathered at the Stone Gate of a Thousand Swords . People alighted at the peripheries, then closed in .
"Our first senior sister has returned . Make way . "
Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng cleared a path, headed for the middle .
"You stay outside . I'm going in . " Wu Yu and Qing Mang temporarily parted, squeezing in after Zhao Changtian .
"Alright . "
The normal disciples quickly gave way, seeing that it was the Sect Leader and Sect-Protector's disciples, allowing them to proceed .
"Master, Senior Sister!"
Zhao Changtian and Yi Qingfeng rushed over to their sides after paying hurried respects .
Feng Xueya and Lan Huayi were there, and Su Yanli and Mo Shishu were present as well .
Wu Yu was also in a central position . His gaze first went to the ground in the middle . There lay a person covered in white cloth, his visage obscured .
When Wu Yu arrived, Feng Xueya was lifting a corner of the white cloth . Wu Yu could see a man underneath, his body wrinkled . It was a dry corpse, and it was hard to tell what he actually looked like .
Whoosh . . . . . .
The white cloth covered him anew .
"Master . " Wu Yu could clearly see that Feng Xueya's shoulders were shaking .
His back was turned to Wu Yu, who could not see his expression . But from his trembling hands and hunched back, it was obvious that this was a tremendous blow to him!

"Yang Qing . . . . " Feng Xueya's voice was low, and he spoke the words with great difficulty .
"Master . " Su Yanli had moved up to hold his arm . From Wu Yu's position, he could see that her eyes were red as well, the tears trickling past her lids .
"Who did it!? Who killed him!?" Mo Shishu had a demented look as he looked at the other two present .
All of them had been initiated before Wu Yu and naturally knew the deceased Yang Qing .
Seeing their pain, Wu Yu bit his lip, an unspeakable anger rising within .
Of the other two, one had black pupils, although his hair was grey . Without looking at his face, one would think he was an elder .
His features were extremely beautiful, and his manner similar to Feng Xueya's, almost like an imitation of him . His actions had the same feel to them as Feng Xueya's . No wonder Wu Yu heard that the one who resembled Feng Xueya was not Su Yanli but his first disciple, Night Wishes For Snow .
The other woman looked like Lan Shuiyue, although her features were more mature and fuller . Her beauty was not something that a simple wench like Lan Shuiyue could compete with . Her charisma and bearing were worlds above Lan Shuiyue's . This was Lan Huayi's first disciple, Lan Shuiyue's sister, Lan Boli .
"The fox demon, Ninth Spirit," Night Wishes For Snow said, pursing his lips .
"It's really her!" Hearing the name, everyone was taken aback!
It was extremely unsettling to hear the name of this 1,000-year fox demon within their territory! It was the nightmare of many martial cultivators, especially the males .
Or perhaps Feng Xueya already understood before Night Wishes for Snow spoke .
"He was sucked dry as a corpse, clearly the handiwork of a fox demon . "
Wu Yu had encountered a fox demon in the Valley of Immortal Fate and knew how terrifying they could be . This was a 1,000-year fox demon with a Yaodan . She was probably many times more terrifying than Qian Er .
"This is an opening call to war for our Heavenly Sword Sect!" Lan Huayi's gaze was flinty, and she shook with anger .
Back then, Yang Qing had a violent temper and had killed quite a few core disciples . And it was Lan Huayi who had started the movement to banish him . And Yang Qing had repented and changed over the years . He had been on the cusp of his return to the Bipo Mountain Range, but no one had expected he would return this way .
Wu Yu was a little worried about Feng Xueya .
To him, each disciple held an important place in his heart . He had chased him out, only to return as a corpse . A teacher for a day was a father for life . How could he bear this?
He saw Feng Xueya gently push Su Yanli aside and fall to his knees, cradling the corpse of Yang Qing .

"You're home . You can rest in peace . "
He sighed once, and the sword qi beneath his feet rolled, forming a huge sword . Feng Xueya stepped on, and addressed the crowd, "Nothing to see here . Disperse . "
Saying thus, he took Yang Qing and flew away .
In the direction of Heavenly Palace .
"Master must be going to bury him at Heavenly Peak . "
Su Yanli was still trapped by her pain .
In truth, while Wu Yu had languished in the Valley of Immortal Fate, Feng Xueya had also erected a tomb for him . But with his return, Feng Xueya had smashed that tombstone . He had been filled with joy, only to receive the news of Yang Qing's death soon after .
"The four of you, look after your master well . Don't let his temper get the better of him and challenge the fox demon directly . The fox demon might be in cahoots with Jiang Xie and the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts, laying a trap to snare your master," Lan Huayi suddenly said . She turned back to Lan Boli . "Since you are back, come with me . "
Lan Boli gave Night Wishes for Snow a look, then said, "Yes, Master . "
She looked like a much more amiable person .
"Disperse now . "
Lan Huayi commanded, and the crowd hurried to open a path . They mounted their Immortal Cranes and left . But seeing the dead Yang Qing had burdened their hearts . Before, so many core disciples had died in the Valley of Immortal Fate, and they had been anxious . And now, seeing the work of a demon was also terrifying .
The crowd rapidly dispersed . Lan Huayi brought Lan Boli, Zhao Changtian, and the rest away . Only Wu Yu and the other three remained at the Stone Gate of a Thousand Swords . Wu Yu bade Qing Mang leave first as well .
Wu Yu was not familiar with Yang Qing, so he could not empathize with their pain . But his hatred remained in his heart .
After a moment of silence, the elegant Night Wishes for Snow regarded Wu Yu . "Wu Yu, I have heard of you while I was out . Before I came back, I had thought you dead in the Valley of Immortal Fate, but you still live . If Yang Qing knew that you were alive, he would be relieved . "
Ever since Feng Xueya had taken Wu Yu under his wing, they had all heard of his existence .
"First Senior Brother . "
News of the foremost disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect had gotten around, and they were all admirable deeds .
"I see that you are already at the fourth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm . You're almost catching up to Yanli and laying your immortal roots . " Night Wishes For Snow's gaze was piercing . He could feel Wu Yu's four spiritual sources very clearly .
"Fourth tier already?" Su Yanli and the other two only now sensed the change in Wu Yu .
"Senior Brother, when Wu Yu was at the third tier, he had already defeated Jiang Junlin, who was at the fifth tier," Mo Shishu said .
"Oh?" He was a little surprised .
While they spoke, Night Wishes for Snow had reached into his Sumeru Pouch, retrieving a pure white bottle of jade . He pressed it into Wu Yu's hands, saying, "This is the first time we meet, but Senior Brother did not prepare anything . This Restoration Origin Pill is for you . A greeting gift . "
Hearing the words "Restoration Origin Pill," Wu Yu searched his memory . He recalled from The Chronicles of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent that this immortal medicine was a godly curative . Even serious wounds could be treated, both internal and external . Myriad Treasures Valley had one Restoration Origin Pill for sale, but it was priced at 13 Spirit Concentration Pills . It was definitely a valuable object .
And the first time they met, Night Wishes for Snow had already given him such a gift .
Wu Yu was a little hesitant, but Su Yanli said, "Accept it . When we were initiated, Senior Brother also gave us gifts . "
When Wu Yu had gone down the mountain to Dong Yue Wu, Su Yanli and Mo Shishu had also given him gifts .
"Many thanks . "
Since this was the case, Wu Yu accepted it . After all, this Restoration Origin Pill was very useful . Of course, he would remember his act of brotherly love .
"Little Junior Brother, from today onwards, only the four of us are left . But we must take up arms together, and fight demons to the death for our master . " Night Wishes For Snow hated demons even more than Wu Yu did .
"Siblings united!"
They were all very open . To be able to get such sibling camaraderie in the Heavenly Sword Sect was a blessing to Wu Yu, and he treasured it very much .
"Let's go . The Sect-Protector was right . We have to console Master and get him out of this rut . He doted on Yang Qing the most, and also worried about him the most . " Night Wishes For Snow sighed .
They headed for Heavenly Palace .
The three senior Brothers and sister were in front, with Wu Yu following behind .
Seeing them, he turned to the Bipo Mountain Range again . Wu Yu saw nothing but affection .
The relationship between master and disciple, between the hands and legs of the same body .
The will of justice! The will of passion!
