918: Chapter 914: Return to Jiangcheng 918: Chapter 914: Return to Jiangcheng The former outer gate disciples of Heaven Gate were granted the most choices.
Since their contact with Young Master Long had been brief, coupled with the lack of previous recognition by Heaven Gate, these former outer gate disciples were given the option to withdraw.
As long as they chose to leave the alliance and refrain from identifying themselves as disciples of Heaven Gate, they might avoid entanglement altogether…
Yet, no one made such a choice.
All the former outer gate disciples were brimming with fighting spirit!
Their decision stemmed from the charismatic appeal of Ye Tian, and the opportunity to cultivate the complete version of the Wind Flow Strength technique served as an immense temptation.
After everyone expressed their stance, Ye Tian spoke again, “Everyone, the situation is dire, and we cannot afford to waste any more time here!
The Martial Artists of Night King Hall, follow me back to the headquarters of Night King Hall.
Immerse yourselves in cultivation to enhance your strength and prepare to face the enemies to come!
The Ye Family Elders must return to Two Rivers Town and await the opportune moment.
In your backyard lies a profound cultivation technique.
If you train diligently, your abilities will surely improve by leaps and bounds!”
Regarding the Innate technique in the Ye Family’s backyard, Ye Tian refrained from explicitly mentioning it.
After all, the Innate cultivation technique resided in the restricted area of the Ye Family’s backyard.
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s words, the Ye Family Elders nodded in acknowledgment.
Since the Innate cultivation technique was left behind by the Ye Family ancestor, it was naturally intended for the Ye Family members.
By cultivating the Innate technique, achieving the Innate Realm was the most effective method for the Ye Family Elders to enhance their strength!
“As for the disciples of Heaven Gate, I ask all of you to remain within Heaven Gate and continue refining its cultivation techniques!
Everyone must solidify their strength in the shortest time possible.
Only then can we have sufficient power to contend with stronger adversaries!
Regardless of the enemies we face, if we unite as one, we will have no foe to fear!
I believe that our collective efforts will defeat all opponents and forge a brighter future for this Martial Arts World!”
Ye Tian’s words, without a doubt, inspired all the Martial Artists.
Excited, the Martial Artists cheered aloud…
The shouts nearly overturned the roof of Biyao Palace!
Of course, despite the enthusiasm of the Martial Artists, it could not alter the reality before them.
Ye Tian and Daichong’s speech imparted a palpable sense of urgency to everyone.
Once the mobilization concluded, Daichong led the former Heaven Gate outer gate disciples to the cultivation chambers of Biyao Palace, teaching them the complete version of the Wind Flow Strength technique without reservation.
The former outer gate disciples were elated, knowing that mastering the full version of the Wind Flow Strength technique would elevate their martial prowess to new heights!
Meanwhile, Ye Tian led the Martial Artists of Night King Hall and the Ye Family Elders down Tianshan Mountain!
After the battle between Ye Tian and Wu Weizi, Sima Yun, and Yuxiao, the topography of Tianshan Mountain underwent several changes.
While descending the mountain, the once misty summit was clearly visible.
This clarity was a result of the intense force unleashed during the previous battle.
The powerful energies dispersed the thick clouds that shrouded the summit year-round, revealing the mountain’s visage.
During Ye Tian’s duel with Yuxiao, the overwhelming vitality of Yuxiao nearly leveled half the mountain.
The falling boulders gathered at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, triggering a landslide.
Fortunately, the foothills were sparsely populated, resulting in no casualties.
Nevertheless, many farmlands and orchards below the mountain were destroyed, leaving a sense of regret.
Ye Tian remarked lightly, “The greater a Martial Artist’s strength, the more fragile the surrounding environment and people appear!
If a Martial Artist possesses a good nature, it’s fine… Yet, if their nature is evil, they could ravage everything in their vicinity!
Thus, a true hero acts for the nation and its people.
The stronger the power a Martial Artist possesses, the greater responsibility they should bear!
The extraordinary should protect the people around them.
Unfortunately, few Martial Artists harbor such sentiments; most succumb to arrogance and treat everyone as their slaves.
Good and evil are two sides of the same coin, yet evil looms so prominently that the essence of the world seems corrupted.
Those Martial Artists who dedicate themselves to protecting the vulnerable shoulder immense pressure, as you can imagine!”
Ye Tian’s words deeply moved the surrounding Martial Artists.
Everyone sighed in agreement…
Indeed, in the Martial Arts World, most Martial Artists adhered to the survival philosophy of the weak falling prey to the strong.
When endowed with power, they often oppressed others rather than safeguarding them.
Martial Artists who truly acted with the ethos of “a true hero for the nation and its people” were rare.
Therefore, for someone like Ye Tian, striving to protect the vulnerable, the burden was exceptionally heavy!
Ye Zhihuan couldn’t help but exhale and say, “Young man, your ideals are commendable, but implementing them is bound to be incredibly challenging!
The path you seek will undoubtedly be riddled with thorns, so tread carefully and cherish the journey!”
However, Ye Xuong immediately pledged his allegiance, “Boss, no matter how perilous the road ahead is, we will follow you unwaveringly!
Although our strength is inferior to yours, all of us at Night King Hall will remain your steadfast support!”
Black Widow Alice echoed, “Yes, Boss.
We at Night King Hall had fallen under the control of Sima Yun and became his puppets, losing our lives in the process!
Thanks to you, we’ve been reborn.
For those of us who’ve already died once, why would we cling to our lives now?”
Not just Ye Xuong and Black Widow, but other Martial Artists of Night King Hall eagerly voiced their sentiments before Ye Tian!
“That’s right!
Boss, we share the same heart as you.
Whatever you do, we will follow you to the death!
This time, we will fight for a future in the Martial Arts World where strength doesn’t dictate oppression!”
“No matter how formidable the enemies are, if we unite as one, we refuse to believe there’s a foe we cannot defeat!
Nor a goal we cannot achieve!”
“For the future of Night King Hall and the entire Martial Arts World, we will give it our all!”
…
With chatter swirling around them, the crowd pushed onwards.
The trek down Tianshan Mountain was long, yet because of the lively conversations, no one felt tired.
Instead, they grew more spirited and excited.
After descending Tianshan Mountain, the group hurried to Tianshan City’s train station.
Once tickets were acquired, they boarded the train.
The journey from Tianshan City to Jiangcheng was long, and once aboard, the Martial Artists lost their interest in chatting.
With injuries of varying degrees, everyone retreated to their respective compartments to cultivate and heal.
Ye Tian did the same, knowing that with powerful enemies looming, his internal injuries must fully recover to stand a fighting chance.
Thus, Ye Tian practiced Silent Qi of the Nether God, leveraging his medical expertise to rapidly circulate his internal energy, healing himself with each cycle of Qi flow.
During the journey from Tianshan City to Jiangcheng, Ye Tian fully recovered from his injuries…
Several days later, the train finally arrived at Jiangcheng’s station, and everyone disembarked.
The Ye Family Elders had already gotten off hours earlier at Two Rivers Town’s station, leaving only the Martial Artists of Night King Hall to alight at Jiangcheng.
Ye Tian addressed the Martial Artists of Night King Hall, “Everyone, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet.
Once we return to the headquarters estate, make sure to rest and heal properly.
You must not force yourself to cultivate before fully recovering; understood?”
“Yes!”
In unison, all the Martial Artists replied to Ye Tian’s reminder.
Then, Ye Tian called Ye Xuong to his side and spoke softly, “Ye Xuong, you are Night King Hall’s second-in-command.
In my absence, you must oversee the Martial Artists of Night King Hall closely.
No one is allowed to force themselves to cultivate lest they risk deviation!”
“Understood!”
Since it was Ye Tian’s express instruction, Ye Xuong dared not defy him.
Ye Tian continued, “Another critical matter is that only a small portion of the Martial Artists at Night King Hall have learned the cultivation technique of Mystic Cloud Art, which limits our overall strength as an organization.
For the remaining Martial Artists who haven’t yet mastered Mystic Cloud Art, you must guide them carefully this time, teaching and assisting their cultivation to ensure their safety!”
Ye Xuong thumped his chest confidently, saying, “Boss, rest assured about this task!”
Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction, his trust in Ye Xuong evident.
After giving Ye Xuong his instructions, Ye Tian called the Ding Brothers to his side and said, “Ding Da, Ding Er, Ding San, although you haven’t cultivated Mystic Cloud Art, your mastery of Wind Flow Strength has already reached a proficient level.
Therefore, there’s no need for you to train Mystic Cloud Art.
I hope you won’t get preoccupied with comparisons between Mystic Cloud Art and Wind Flow Strength.
Focus on refining Wind Flow Strength and enhancing your abilities!
I trust you’ve already obtained the complete version of the Wind Flow Strength technique, so once back at Night King Hall, dedicate yourselves wholeheartedly to cultivation, for you three are invaluable combat assets to Night King Hall!”
