Chapter 265

Brother Ning Chuan spoke slowly, his voice shedding all majesty to become far more peaceful, carrying a faint trace of approval:

"Zhang Zhenren's choice is very correct."

"Benzuozi Society is not a dragon that disregards reason or slaughters the innocent."

"Since True Person shows such sincerity, let the previous matters be settled."

"As for the disciples of Wu Dangpai, Benzuozi Society will naturally let them depart in peace."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng's face showed a bitter smile, but mostly relief.

He bowed again in gratitude: "Many thanks to the Island Master for his magnanimity; this Daoist is deeply grateful."

He knew that while Wu Dangpai had lost all face today, it had at least preserved the foundation of its heritage.

Compared to those men sects utterly annihilated, this was already a blessing in misfortune.

Brother Ning Chuan immediately gave orders for Yang Xiao, Dai Dai Qisi, and others to properly "escort out" the Wu Dang disciples—Song Yuanqiao, Yu Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, and the rest—who had previously been "invited" to Guangming Ding as guests.

Upon seeing their Great Grandmaster, Song Yuanqiao and the other Wu Dang disciples were overcome with shame, unable to face the ground, and fell to their knees, weeping bitterly.

In their hearts, they felt indescribably complex emotions toward Brother Ning Chuan, this Dragon Island Master.

There was the humiliation and anger of being forcibly abducted and imprisoned here.

There was also gratitude for his intervention, saving them from the poisonous hands of Iron-Dan Divine Marquis Zhu Wushi.

A hundred flavors mingled, beyond words.

But more than anything, they felt deep awe and fear toward this Dragon Island Master's god-and-demon-unfathomable strength and his ability to turn clouds to rain with a flip of his hand.

Zhang Sanfeng exchanged pleasantries with Brother Ning Chuan, mostly discussing the Great Dao of martial arts and insights into cultivation.

He was horrified to discover that Brother Ning Chuan's understanding of the martial path and his realization of the laws of heaven and earth were even deeper than his own, despite him being a Land Immortal who had cultivated for hundreds of years!

Indeed, several questions Brother Ning Chuan casually raised regarding the Dao of Taiji struck straight at the core, giving him a feeling of sudden enlightenment and great benefit!

This filled his heart with even more shock and admiration, along with a touch of... defeat.

He knew that today, he had truly encountered a peerless monster, rare once in ten thousand years, who shone through the ages!

His future achievements would absolutely be limitless!

Before departing, he specifically instructed Song Yuanqiao and others to strictly restrain their disciples in the future, warning that they must never again oppose Taohuadao, nor show the slightest disrespect toward this Dragon Island Master.

Otherwise, Wu Dangpai would face the danger of total collapse!

Song Yuanqiao and the others naturally nodded repeatedly, daring not to disobey in the slightest.

After seeing Zhang Sanfeng lead the Wu Dang crowd away, their expressions complex and their pace hurried.

Inside and outside Guangming Ding, the martial artists who had previously been in extreme shock and stupor.

Finally began to come to their senses.

They looked at the black dragon coiled atop the mountain peak, radiating endless majesty and a terrifying aura.

In their hearts, there was no longer the slightest hope or disrespect.

Only endless awe and... deep fear remained.

Crushing the Land Immortal Zhu Wushi!

Annihilating a hundred thousand troops with a snap of his fingers!

Subduing Wu Dang's Zhang Sanfeng with a mere conversation!

Such heaven-destroying, earth-shattering methods and power, god-and-demon-unfathomable!

Had completely exceeded their cognitive limits regarding strength!

They had no doubt that from this day forward, the entire landscape of the Wu Lin would undergo earth-shattering changes due to the appearance of this black dragon before them!

A new era, an era belonging to the Dragon Island Master, was about to arrive!

Any existence daring to provoke his majesty would pay an unimaginably agonizing price!

Immediately.

The surviving martial artists, whether those who had previously harbored ill intentions and sought to profit from the chaos.

Or those who had simply come to watch the spectacle but were unfortunately dragged into it.

All bowed respectfully toward Brother Ning Chuan, their voices filled with heartfelt gratitude and awe:

"Many thanks to Island Master Ning for intervening to save us! Such a great favor, we will never forget for all eternity!"

"We failed to recognize the great mountain; we offended you greatly before, and hope the Island Master will forgive us!"

They knew that if Brother Ning Chuan had not intervened at the end to annihilate Zhu Wushi's hundred-thousand-strong army.

They, these people, would have long since turned entirely to ash, leaving not even bones behind.

In a sense, Brother Ning Chuan had indirectly saved their lives from Zhu Wushi's hands.

Although, this Dragon Island Master did not appear to be any kind of benevolent figure.

The earth-shattering great battle that occurred on Guangming Ding today, and the various incredible miracles displayed within it.

With the departure of the surviving martial artists, spread like wings attached, at an unimaginable speed, rapidly across the entire world!

It could be foreseen that in the near future.

Brother Ning Chuan's fame, and his notorious title as the Dragon Island Master of Taohuadao.

Would surely shine over the entire Jianghu like a brilliant sun!

Known to no one who does not know! Understood by no one who does not understand!

It would even become a... forbidden existence that made countless people tremble and revere!

Before any faction makes any decision related to Taohuadao or the Ming Cult, they must weigh whether they can bear the overwhelming wrath of this Dragon Island Master.
