Most sects punish traitors by crippling their martial arts, breaking their limbs, or even taking their lives.
In comparison, the Extre Fist Sect is considered to be extrely lenient.
Moreover, compared to those who died in battle, the defectors have at least kept their lives.
Li Yagui and others hesitated as they turned to leave, their steps slow, seemingly still hoping for Lou Yi and Sect Leader Wei to change their minds.
’Thump Thump Thump!’
Soon, another person walked over.
He appeared to be sixteen or seventeen, wearing white clothes, his complexion pale, with dark circles under his eyes, a result of excessive indulgence, but looking as if he had just been mourning and crying.
It was indeed the long-unseen Huang Longgang.
"I have been under house arrest for a long ti and couldn’t join the sect guarding battle, for which I apologize," Huang Longgang explained. "Last night, my father said I had tempered my character enough and allowed to return to the sect."
The elders exchanged glances, surprised that the young master of the Huang Family jumped out at this critical mont.
However, due to Qi Bao’s death, Huang Longgang had already been taken ho, and his father said it was to keep him under house arrest, which was understandable.
His situation was naturally completely different from those like Li Yagui who fled the scene.
Therefore, Lou Yi only pondered briefly before nodding, "Welco back, Brother Huang."
Huang Longgang suddenly clasped his fists solemnly, "I heard Brother Liu displayed great prowess, defeating the Heavy Sword Sect leader and safeguarding the sect’s century-old foundation, and I admire this greatly.
In the past, I was immature and offended many, I hope Brother Liu can overlook it."
Upon hearing Huang Longgang’s words, Lou Yi’s expression twitched slightly, but he still smiled, "We are all fellow sect mbers, Brother Huang, no need for formalities."
’Why has this guy suddenly changed his nature?’
Looking at Zhan Weida, he too seed puzzled.
Huang Longgang looked at Li Yagui’s group, his face suddenly turning cold, "Traitors like you, dare to co back?
I believe your martial arts should be abolished, to prevent the true inheritance from leaking out of the sect."
Upon hearing Huang Longgang’s words, another commotion erupted behind Li Yagui.
More than half couldn’t help but quicken their pace, fearing the Extre Fist Sect might actually abolish their martial arts as Huang Longgang suggested.
’Clip clop!’
At this mont, several people ca from outside.
The leader, with her hair wrapped in white cloth, dressed in white mourning apparel, was tall and beautiful, it was Jia Hong herself, the first beauty of the Extre Fist Sect.
She looked at the coffins placed together, unable to hide her sorrow.
Her body swayed and she suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Disciple... has arrived too late!"
Jia Hong’s voice was like a mourning cuckoo, filled with deep sadness, touching all who heard.
"On that day, I went to the Xu Family seeking help, kneeling at Old Master Xu’s door, hoping he would assist," Jia Hong said shaking her head, her fair neck shining brightly, "Perhaps my sincerity was lacking, Old Master Xu did not wish to see .
Only today did he send a few to assist ."
"But I ca too late..."
In an instant, her tears were like rain on pear blossoms, a sight to evoke sympathy.
Lou Yi and Zhan Weida exchanged glances, admiring this woman’s ability to adapt.
Yet many in the sect showed so signs of being moved.
Then, those accompanying Jia Hong spoke.
"I am the Overlord Saber, commanded by the Patriarch, here to assist the Extre Fist Sect."
"I am the Shadow Blade..."
"I am Sui Yun..."
Upon hearing these nas, everyone in the Extre Fist Sect was astonished.
"Overlord Saber, Shadow Blade, aren’t they among the Four Famous Blades, Full Cycle Martial Artists, their skills comparable to the Sect Leader’s Great Elder!"
"Sui Yun is also a seasoned warrior, a Great Circulation Martial Artist, I’ve heard of him!"
Initially, they doubted Jia Hong’s story.
But the Xu Family’s strong lineup seed excessive just for an act.
So began to waver, half-believing, half-doubting.
Jia Hong’s explanation seed to make sense?
"Sister Hong’s dedication to the sect is truly an exemplar," at this mont, Huang Longgang provided crucial support, "She would have been just a martial artist at the sect, of little influence.
But going to the Xu Family for reinforcents, if she had co on ti, it might have instantly changed the battle!
Sister Hong is not only loyal but wise, decisive, and knows how to leverage, worthy of our learning."
After hearing Huang Longgang’s words, Jia Hong was slightly surprised, but she quickly seized the opportunity, imdiately bowing down:
"Sect Leader, Master, Hong’er is incompetent, please punish ."
Wei Youdao showed no expression, silent.
Great Elder Zhou Bufeng revealed a hesitant look, then turned to Lou Yi.
Lou Yi sighed internally.
The Great Elder had fought for the sect until several bones were fractured, his dignity must be upheld.
Moreover, Jia Hong was too smart.
Leaving a backup plan when she left, saying she was seeking help from the Xu Family, now perfectly aligning her actions into a coherent story.
Unlike Li Yagui, foolishly admitting betrayal, making it impossible to help him.
Thus, Lou Yi nodded with resignation, "Miss Jia’s sincere devotion to our sect is admirable."
Upon hearing Lou Yi’s conclusion, Jia Hong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Among Li Yagui’s group, soone expressed discontent, complaining, "If Jia Hong can return, why can’t we?"
Then, everyone there turned to him with blank expressions.
Li Yagui shook his head, his face pale, finally gave up and staggered away.
Without Li Yagui, the traitorous disciples lost their backbone and eventually departed.
This farce concluded on an imperfect note at this mont.
And after the sect’s funeral ended.
To lift spirits, the Extre Fist Sect posted announcents near the residence, declaring that their talented disciple Lou Yi will soon serve as the sect’s first Vice Sect Leader.
The sect planned to hold a grand ceremony seven days later, broadly inviting heroes, extending invitations to the city’s residents for a banquet.
This news quickly spread throughout Tai City.
"The Extre Fist Sect is hosting an elevation ceremony for the Vice Sect Leader, have you heard?"
"Why would a vice have a grand ceremony?"
"That’s because their Vice Sect Leader is Liu Yi, that young man more formidable than a martial artist!"
"I’ve heard of him, truly a hero erging young!"
Lou Yi wasn’t well-known before.
But after slaying the newly appointed martial artist Jiang Chi from the Heavy Sword Sect while not yet of age, he beca a household na.
So even hailed him as Tai City’s greatest talent in a hundred years.
Amid the impending beast tide, chaos prevailed, and the gloomy atmosphere hung heavy.
Having soone of exceptional potential suddenly erge was a boon for all of Tai City, thus the elevation ceremony garnered much attention.
As the Extre Fist Sect busied themselves with preparations for the grand event.
Lou Yi continually frequented ceteries, mass graves, morgues, and other places, developing steadily.
Each day, his mastery of the Breathing Technique increased by thirty points.
By the day of the ceremony, he was more than halfway through the Three Blood realm.
