Chapter 903: Absolute Loyalty
Shadow Clan. Yesterday, when the allied forces arrived, your Shadow Clan was one of the first to charge in. Now, during this challenge match, you're the first to come up and offer yourself as a sacri...The outskirts of mountainous areas in the suburbs of Wenan City, in central China.
Here is a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. At the entrance stands a gigantic stone tablet inscribed with three large characters.
Ziyán Palace.
A figure with distinct contours stood on the mountaintop at the edge of the valley, looking at the now-formed valley floor, recalling the bustling scene inside the Purple Flame Palace in those days, his eyes slightly red.
At the beginning, Xiu Mei was the youngest among the many core disciples in Zi Yan Palace.
Her talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but because she was young, many senior brothers and sisters doted on and took care of her.
Even when the Grand Elder was in the most dangerous situation, he thought of her, allowing her to survive.
"Senior brothers and sisters, Elder Taishang... We have not disappointed your expectations... Ziyangu Palace, we are back." Xiu Mei said with tears in her eyes.
Before the person is killed, Ziyangu Palace will not be considered revitalized.
At that moment, a voice rang out from the sky.
Xiu Mei looked up and saw Jiang Dao, clad in a purple-gold robe, floating in mid-air. He had his arms crossed behind his back and was looking down at the valley.
"Big brother, you're out of seclusion," Xiu Mei wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked joyfully.
"Hmm." Jiang Dao responded.
Xiumei stared intently at Jiang Dao's figure, wanting to take a good look at his face.
But Jiang Dao kept his back turned to her, his body radiating an extreme chill.
At the same time, a wisp of gray air rotated and danced around his body.
"The current Ziyan Palace is completely incomparable to what it used to be." Jiangdao said indifferently, "It's too far behind."
"Senior brother, in the future we will work hard together, and the Ziyang Palace will one day be restored to its former glory..." Xiu Mei said.
"Of course, I will not only restore the Purple Flame Palace to its former glory, but also push it to even greater heights!" Jiang Dao suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiu Mei.
Upon seeing the face of Jiang Dao, Xiu Mei's expression changed.
Since obtaining the Chaos Pearl, Jiang Dao has been undergoing a slow transformation.
After more than a month of seclusion, this change became even more apparent.
Now, Gan Island's eyes have lost the clear black and white distinction of a normal human eye. The entire iris is a pale gray, with no visible pupil or focal point.
...to such an extent that he faced Xiu Mei, Xiu Mei not knowing where he was looking. ...
Besides the obvious change to his eyes, there are subtle changes to his other features as well.
Nasal bridge height, the width of the mouth, even the ears...
These changes, perhaps unnoticeable to others, were glaringly obvious to Xiu Mei, who had always kept a close eye on Jiangdao.
She always felt…the current Jeju Island, was very unfamiliar.
It's not just a change in appearance, but also a change in aura.
In the past, Jiangdao always brought a feeling of warmth.
But now, once the island of Jiang appears, the temperature of the entire space will drop.
And when he spoke to his fellow disciples, he did so without a shred of emotion, as if commanding them.
This feeling...made Xiumei feel very uncomfortable.
She always wanted to get close to Jiangdao, until she became the closest person to him.
Now, Jiangdao is getting farther and farther away.
"Where is the statue I ordered"
Just as Xiumei was lost in thought, the Jiangdao before her suddenly spoke.
"That statue" Xiu Mei was taken aback, looking down. She couldn't remember it for a moment.
“Before I went into seclusion, I ordered you to erect that statue of the wretch kneeling in atonement at the gate of Ziyan Palace,” Jiang Dao asked coldly. “Over a month has passed, and you haven't even managed to build a single statue!”
Jian Dao's tone turned cold, Xiu Mei's face paled, and she said, "Several senior brothers might..."
Jiang Dao stood still, remained silent, and his aura grew increasingly colder.
"Big brother!"
At this time, two voices came from behind.
Two men rushed to their presence.
Upon seeing Jiang Dao, the two simultaneously bowed and cupped their fists, saying, "Congratulations to Senior Brother on your exit from seclusion!"
These two individuals are the highest-ranking core disciples below Jiangdao.
Second place, Hong Xian. Fourth place, Chen Lun.
These two, plus Jiangdao, were known as the Purple Flame Palace Three Stars back then.
And the relationship between the three people has always been very good.
"Where is the statue I ordered before" Jiang Dao asked coldly.
"Um... Senior Brother, the Purple Flame Palace has just been established this period, and we have too many things to attend to… We'll prepare the statue casting later." Hong Xian replied.
Chen Lun remained silent, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
In fact, the two of them didn't have the guts to build such a statue.
They dare not even recall the events of that year, let alone Fang Yu's face.
That man was their deepest nightmare, an inescapable terror.
Jiang Dao remained silent, simply floating in mid-air. He gazed at the two people before him with his gray eyes.
A wave of invisible pressure bore down on Chen Lun and Hong Xian's shoulders.
Their faces turned pale.
"Big Brother, the Hundred Sects Grand Competition is about to officially begin. Should we shift our focus to…" Chen Lun thought for a moment before speaking.
"Big brother, we…" Hong Xian continued.
"Bang!"
Before either of them could finish speaking, they let out a pained grunt, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backward.
