"No way! I’m not letting Wei’er be alone with you again. If you two want to catch up, I have to stand guard on the side."
Murong Xue said in a tone that brooked no argunt.
"You... whatever."
Tang Ming curled his lip speechlessly, then helped Murong Xue detoxify the Poison, and the group headed up to the surface.
Murong Xue rescued Murong Yunhai and the others and sent them back to the Sect, while she herself stayed behind to follow at Xia Wei’er’s side.
Originally Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er had a lot to say to each other, but with Murong Xue staring at them like a hawk, both of them felt totally ill at ease.
"Hey! Ming, I’ll go back to the Sect with Master first then. Once I break through to Martial General, I’ll definitely co back to find you."
After a while, Xia Wei’er really couldn’t take it anymore and reluctantly took her leave from Tang Ming.
"Alright then! Your Cultivation cos first in everything. ’If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day.’"
Tang Ming nodded in understanding. He was extrely pissed at that chick Murong Xue, but there was nothing he could do.
After a brief mont of tenderness, Xia Wei’er left with Murong Xue.
Tang Ming stared dazedly at Xia Wei’er’s receding figure.
"She’s long gone, stop staring."
ng Xianjun waved a hand in front of Tang Ming’s face. "You brat are too aweso, even the great beauty of Rainbow Cloud Peak is your woman. Don’t tell all the hotties under the heavens are yours?"
"Jealous, huh? Being jealous is useless, can’t bla you were born ugly."
Tang Ming shot ng Xianjun a glare, annoyed.
"Your grandpa! This is called ugly? I’m handso as hell!"
ng Xianjun instantly roared in anger.
"Brother ng, since you’re so handso, do you have a girlfriend?"
Zhang Chuming added fuel to the fire with a grin. "Any beauties on Xia Wei’er’s level?"
"I..."
ng Xianjun opened his mouth and almost spat blood.
"Lin Canghai!"
Tang Ming couldn’t be bothered with these two clowns. He turned his head and shouted, "Inform the n to move out all the valuables here. We withdraw from this place before sunrise tomorrow."
"Got it!"
Lin Canghai answered, then imdiately went off to give orders.
"You’re really giving up this place?"
ng Xianjun and Zhang Chuming looked at Tang Ming in confusion.
"My woman personally ca out to ask. How could I not give her face?"
Tang Ming curled his lip, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Too many people died here, the resentnt is too heavy. It’s not suitable for long-term living."
"Despise you."
Zhang Chuming and ng Xianjun simultaneously raised their middle fingers at Tang Ming.
"Alright, alright, didn’t we say we were going to beco sworn brothers? Now that everything’s settled, let’s officially swear brotherhood."
Tang Ming changed the subject with a laugh.
Then everyone got busy. Half an hour later, Tang Ming, ng Xianjun, Zhang Chuming, Sun Zhuangjia, and Hua Yingjie knelt in a row and formally beca sworn brothers.
Originally Zhang Baobao also wanted to join in, but Zhang Chuming refused him. As for why, only a ghost would know.
The five of them bowed to heaven and earth, swore to live and die together, and officially beca sworn brothers not related by blood. Sun Zhuangjia was the oldest and beca the eldest brother, ng Xianjun second, Tang Ming third, Hua Yingjie fourth, and Zhang Chuming, the youngest, was the fifth.
"Tang San! From now on you’re not only my junior brother, you’re also my third brother, so you’ve got to learn to respect your big brother—."
After the ceremony, Sun Zhuangjia patted Tang Ming’s shoulder with a solemn face and reminded him.
"Don’t you go playing the senior card. In terms of strength, I can leave you several streets behind."
Tang Ming grunted unhappily.
"Quit ssing around, you two. Let’s talk about what we’re doing next."
ng Xianjun said with a smile, "Things here are wrapped up, and third brother doesn’t need to make another trip to Rainbow Cloud Peak. Shouldn’t we head back to the city?"
"It’s indeed co to a close, but I was planning to find a place to establish a Sect. Otherwise, I’ve got no way to properly settle down girls like Thirteen and the others."
Tang Ming scratched his head, troubled.
"God and Ghost Sect isn’t suitable for ordinary people to cultivate in, I really can’t help there. And the ng Family is extrely exclusive too. Those girls are all... people they’d have a hard ti accepting."
Zhang Chuming looked helplessly at the group of girls playing with Zhang Baobao.
"Everyone, I actually have a not-so-mature suggestion. Don’t know if it’ll work or not?"
Hua Yingjie hurriedly spoke up, excited. "If you really want to establish a Sect, you can go to Heavenly dicine Sect!"
"Your Sect?"
Tang Ming looked at Hua Yingjie in puzzlent.
"Yeah! Even though Heavenly dicine Sect has declined, the Sect grounds are still there, and because the clan has fallen, there aren’t many people left. Such a huge Sect is basically empty—perfect for settling Thirteen and the others."
Hua Yingjie introduced with a face full of excitent. "These days I can at least be counted as a Martial General. It’s only a matter of ti before I revitalize Heavenly dicine Sect. If we can rise again in the form of a new Sect, that’d be a pretty good choice."
"That’s a good idea, worth considering!"
Zhang Chuming and ng Xianjun nodded repeatedly.
"Sounds nice, but I’m not planning to just randomly pick so place and open a Sect! This Ancient City is deep in the mountains and the architecture is unique—that’s why I had the idea. Is the Heavenly dicine Sect’s seat of the Sect up to standard?"
Tang Ming rubbed his chin, still conflicted.
If he was just casually picking a spot to found a Sect, then the old Sect grounds of Poison Sect, Flowing Cloud Sect, or even Heavenly Cloud Sect could all be used. What he needed now, though, was a major Sect that could integrate all the forces under him. The scale and layout of the place were a big issue.
"Don’t worry about that. No matter what, Heavenly dicine Sect used to be a dical Sect that shook the whole Martial Arts world. Even if it couldn’t compare to the Hidden Force, among Martial Arts Sects it was definitely top tier. So the Sect’s location is very particular."
Hua Yingjie imdiately patted his chest in guarantee. "
Talk is cheap. Before the new term starts, why don’t you all co with to Heavenly dicine Sect and check things out? How about it?"
"Good idea."
Tang Ming nodded. Whether it was suitable or not, they’d know once they saw it.
"Brothers, I won’t be accompanying you for what cos next."
Zhang Chuming thought for a bit, then said helplessly, "I have to go back to God and Ghost Sect to report the situation. Besides, you guys are all from Imperial University, but I’m not."
"You’re heading back already?"
Tang Ming and the others looked at Zhang Chuming in surprise.
"Yeah. We’ve got a long future ahead of us, we’ll et again in the Jianghu."
Zhang Chuming cupped his fists in salute, then called Zhang Baobao over and left in a carefree manner.
Only then did Tang Ming and the others lead Thirteen and the rest of the girls toward the Heavenly dicine Sect’s base.
The Heavenly dicine Sect’s Sect grounds were located deep within Cangmang Mountain in Western China. Cangmang Mountain had been only minimally developed so far and looked very primitive. It was precisely this kind of environnt that favored the growth of dicinal herbs, making it a natural dicine treasury for a dical Sect.
Under Hua Yingjie’s lead, the group walked up the mountain along an ancient, rugged stone stairway.
"Everyone, this is the Heavenly Dao leading to Heavenly dicine Sect. Back when Heavenly dicine Sect was in its pri, many people seeking treatnt would crawl up to Heavenly dicine Sect on their knees to show their sincerity."
Hua Yingjie walked at the front, excitedly explaining the situation.
