Chapter 72

Upon seeing this fierce beast, those who knew their stuff immediately thought of one person - the previous generation saint of the Demon Sect, whose mount was a rare golden-haired roar. Later, the witch became entangled with a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, unable to separate due to their love and ultimately perishing, while the Shangqing disciple was expelled from the sect because of the witch.

Afterwards, the rare golden-haired roar followed the Shangqing Sect's abandoned disciple.

Combining the past events, the appearance of the rare golden-haired roar at the Shangqing Sect was not a coincidence. Those who knew their stuff probably understood that the Demon Ridge's legendary figure had arrived!

The members of the Liuxian Sect, who had just been overwhelmingly confident, now looked unpleasant upon seeing the imposing golden beast standing on top of the mountain and looking down on them. Tang Susu's expression was also unpleased because she detested the owner of the golden-haired roar.

At this moment, appearing at the most dangerous time of the Shangqing Sect, Luo Yuan Gong's expression was complicated, and so was his mood.

"Master Uncle!" Tang Yi whispered to herself, surprised beyond belief. That person was someone she had admired since she was a child and did not disappoint her.

Su Bro also had a hint of joy in his eyes. He couldn't guarantee that the person would come, he just asked Tuhan to try, but he didn't expect the person to actually come.

Obviously, that person should have arrived earlier and had been waiting near the Shangqing Sect. Otherwise, it was impossible to be so coincidental as to appear at the critical moment of the Shangqing Sect. They must have the warning signal and heard the alarm bell before revealing themselves. When hearing that the Shangqing Sect was in trouble, Su Bro was comforted because of the person's loyalty. He was greatly touched and sighed in his heart, "Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, your spirit in heaven can now rest in peace. You really have a sharp eye. The three disciples you took in are all good ones!"

Some people only knew that the golden-haired roar was a rare beast recorded in the exotic animals book and was an ancient species that was now very rare. They didn't know why it appeared here and had no idea of the cause.

Seeing the situation, U Shaohuan's face was strained and unpleased. He looked around and did not see the owner of the golden-haired roar. However, after exchanging glances with his fellow brothers, they knew that they should not act rashly. The legendary figure of Demon Ridge was not someone the Liuxian Sect could afford to provoke, as he had swept away more than a dozen sects single-handedly, including Daoist List's ninth-ranked master. Liuxian Sect did not expect the abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect to stand up for them.

Once the golden-haired roar appeared, U Shaohuan did not dare to act recklessly because it would bring extermination to the Liuxian Sect. They had no confidence in taking risks.

U Shaohuan's hands clasped the moon disks together and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

Some disciples of the Liuxian Sect were surprised. What was going on? They came with such momentum and made threats, but why didn't they do anything?

However, other elders waved their hands in greeting and signaled for immediate evacuation, and their expressions were clearly serious. Just as the disciples of the Liuxian Sect turned around to leave, Tang Yi, who had been patrolling the surrounding mountains, suddenly shouted sternly, "Stop right there!"

He had arrived. She now had confidence in herself!

Liuxian Sect stopped in their footsteps. U Shaohuan turned around and said in a low voice, "I apologize for offending your sect. Please forgive me."

Tang Yi replied in a harsh tone, "You trespassed the gate of our Shangqing Sect and killed our disciple guarding the mountain. That's all you have to say?"

U Shaohuan hesitated for a moment. He then decidedly reached behind his back and took out a moon disk. With one arm extended, he swung the other disk sharply, and with a brush, the blade cut through and blood spattered. One arm fell off and landed on the ground.

"Master Uncle!" The several Liuxian Sect elders exclaimed and rushed to help him up. They used acupuncture to stop the bleeding that spurted out.

The disciples of the Liuxian Sect were shocked. Liuxian Sect disciples were good at using the moon disks. Disabling one arm meant losing half of one's strength. What kind of situation could make a Jindan elder cut off his own arm as atonement?

Some of the disciples of the Liuxian Sect had realized what was happening. They looked up at the golden-haired roar standing proudly on the mountaintop. The turning point of the situation occurred after the golden-haired roar appeared. Someone planned to figure out what had happened after returning. Watching the panicked disciples of the Liuxian Sect retreating, the Shangqing Sect disciples looked at U Shaohuan's severed arm, feeling somber and complex.

Seeing the disciples of the Immortal Sect leaving, the Golden Mane atop the mountain roared again, "Roar!" The sound echoed through the mountains and forests. Afterwards, the Golden Mane slowly turned around, with a majestic figure and a swinging tail disappearing into the mountain's peak.

Suddenly, Tang Yi flew up and landed hundreds of feet away, flying towards where the Golden Mane disappeared.

"Sect Master, come back!" Tang Susu yelled angrily. She knew that Tang Yi wanted to find someone.

She was about to follow and persuade Tang Yi, but Luo Yuan Gong grabbed her arm and held her tightly.

Luo Yuan Gong knew how much she hated him and sighed lightly, "Junior Sister, no matter what, he helped the Shangqing Sect during a great calamity. It is reasonable to thank him."

Tang Susu's face was tightly taut...

Tang Yi ignored Tang Susu's shouting and flew to the top of the mountain to look around.

The Golden Mane, who was running in the forest, rushed through it as if it were flat ground. Its figure disappeared in the depths of the woods. Tang Yi immediately flashed and chased after the Golden Mane in the direction it disappeared.

After a moment, she saw the Golden Mane shaking its fur in the creek between the mountains.

There was a sloppy man sitting with his legs bent on a large rock beside the creek, holding a wine jar and pouring it into his mouth. Yes, he was not drinking, but pouring it into his mouth. The wine splashed on his face, the water droplets from the Golden Mane shook off hit him, perhaps even into his mouth, but he didn't care and drank on his own.

After putting down the wine jar and burping, he looked at Tang Yi, who had landed in front of him, and smiled.

When Tang Yi saw him again, she couldn't believe it. The elegant man dressed in white with snow-like skin and jade-like features was actually so sloppy and messy. His disheveled hair was covered in grass clippings, indicating that he had been lying in a pile of grass. He had a messy beard on his face, and the dirt on his face proved that he hadn't washed it in a long time. His clothes were not their original color but had turned dirty and black from not being washed for a long time.

Thinking back to the time when he taught her how to learn, Tang Yi was a little unsure of what to say when comparing it to his current state.

He was once the most talented disciple of the Shangqing Sect and was also the heir that the Shangqing Sect had the highest hopes for. Many people in the Shangqing Sect pinned their hopes of revitalizing the sect on him. However, he fell in love with a woman he should not have loved, a woman from the devil path and the saint of the Devil Sect, and was eventually expelled from the sect.

Later, Tang Yi heard about his deeds. He was indeed the admirable person she had idolized since childhood and the person that everyone in the Shangqing Sect recognized and had great hopes for. He swiftly grew in strength, shook the world, and was even ranked among the top ten on the Dan Board. After his father, Tang Mu, took over as Sect Master, she often heard him lamenting, saying that the third junior brother was a pity. If he had not gone down the wrong path, he would not have had to take over as Shangqing Sect Master.

In Tang Yi's mind, he should have been a figure who roamed the world and laughed at the wind clouds. She never thought that the elegant senior brother would become so down-and-out just for a demoness.

"Senior Uncle!" Tang Yi summoned up the courage to call him.

"Hmm..." The sloppy man burped again and shook his head, laughing, "Little girl, there is no senior Uncle here. Don't call me randomly."

Tang Yi still affirmed, "Thank you for helping the Shangqing Sect during a difficult time, Senior Uncle."

The sloppy man patted the two wine jars beside him, "Your father, Dong Guo Haoran, and I buried some wine here in the mountains and agreed to drink it together many years later. I heard that your father and Dong Guo Haoran have passed away. Remembering this wine, I came to see it and it's still here! Good wine, beautiful wine! I came to find wine, I didn't help the Shqing Sect. The Shangqing Sect has nothing to do with me, you are thinking too much."

Seeing that he didn't admit anything, Tang Yi didn't argue with him and said, "The Shangqing Sect is in a very difficult situation now, and Senior Uncle is famous throughout the world. This is exactly what the Shangqing Sect urgently needs, and I hope Senior Uncle can stay and help!"

The sloppy man didn't respond to this and instead asked with a smile, "Little girl, did you get married?"

When it came to the matter of marriage, Tang Yi appeared awkward. It was difficult to speak about the right and wrong.

"I have no possessions, and I have nothing to give you. Here is a jar of wine that has been buried for thirty years as a congratulatory gift!" The sloppy man waved his sleeve, and the wine jar flew out.

Tang Yi received it and fell into silence. She gently patted the dirt on it and didn't know if the wine was buried by her own father.

The sloppy man hugged his wine jar and took another sip. "Dong Guo Haoran once said that my person and my name didn't match and I would change one day. It turns out he was right. Does your husband happen to be his disciple? Although he took in apprentices hastily when he was dying, he would not indiscriminately take apprentices. There must be a reason for what he did. If it can be saved, try to make peace."

After speaking, he stood up, picked up another wine jug, jumped onto the back of the golden-haired beast playing in the water. Seeing him about to leave, Tang Yi hurriedly shouted, "Martial Uncle, do you really want to see Shangqing Sect fall like this?" "The past is already gone, and there is no way to turn back. Everyone does not have yesterday in front of their eyes, only tomorrow. Shangqing Sect has reached this point today. It is useless to stick to the old ways and will only get worse. Little girl, you are not stupid, no matter how you became Sect Master. Since you have become Sect Master, don't hesitate when you need to show your courage as a Sect Master. Face it bravely according to your own thoughts, otherwise, what's the use of having you as the Sect Master of Shangqing Sect? I'm leaving!"

After speaking, he stood up, took another wine jar, and floated away, sitting lightly on the Golden Mane that played in the water. He was like a stamen blooming in a flower, slowly disappearing into the distance...
