Chapter 169: Hong Brother, Brother Has Returned

His gaze swept over the disciples; Hong Zun rarely showed a solemn expression, and he said seriously.

Do you still remember what I taught you?

I remember.

To any disciple who joins Divine Sword Peak, even a menial disciple, Hong Zun has said the same words.

Being able to enter Dao Yi Sect already shows your talent; what Hong Zun truly values is character, mindset, and the brotherly affection among fellow disciples.

Divine Sword Peak has never had anyone who fears death; when facing external enemies, all disciples of Divine Sword Peak will unite and never retreat.

Perhaps in daily life, Divine Sword Peak disciples will use any means for a meal; deceit and trickery can be said to be employed without limit.

But these are our own people.

It's normal for our own people to quarrel and play, but if you think that means Divine Sword Peak lacks unity, you are completely wrong.

Let an outsider try to mess with us, and Divine Sword Peak will instantly change its appearance.

Seeing the disciples' eyes all red, Hong Zun forced a strong smile.

This is my own choice; crying and whining is no way to speak, no crying allowed. As a teacher, I dare to go because I have my own confidence; don't underestimate me. Without some skill, how could I be the master of you little bastards, the Peak Master?

These words are merely consolation; being trapped in the East Sea, what can be done? Nothing more than prolonging or shortening the struggle.

Having spoken, Hong Zun turned to leave.

Shīzūn (Peak Master).............

The disciples were grief-stricken.

But just then, a figure suddenly flew across the horizon; before the person arrived, the voice came first, a hearty laugh transmitted.

Haha, Hong brother, I'm back.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked up; the comer was none other than Qing Shi.

Wasn't he the one who broke the formation's suppression? How did he come back?

For a moment, all the disciples froze; Hong Zun, eyes red and already prepared to die, seeing Qing Shi fall before him, was utterly stunned, his whole body numb from head to toe.

Seeing Hong Zun like that, Qing Shi said with a smile.

Haha, what's wrong, Hong brother, are you that happy to see me?

But the next second, his response was a sharp sword light.

Without a word, he directly slashed a sword, truly aimed at him; Qing Shi, frightened, hurriedly dodged and shouted at Hong Zun.

Hong brother, I'm your Qing brother.

Villain, die.

The wine sword already drawn, Hong Zun's killing intent not diminished but increased, he directly rushed toward Qing Shi to kill.

The two thus began fighting, while the surrounding disciples were still completely confused, not understanding what was happening.

Wasn't it said the Grand Elder was surely dead? Why is he appearing here?

In the sky, Qing Shi was being chased and hacked by Hong Zun, wailing strangely.

Hong brother, you're crazy, I'm your Qing brother.

You're nonsense, villain; today either you die or I perish.

Speaking, Hong Zun's red eyes finally could not hold back two tears of an old man.

Eh, Hong brother, you're crying; come, let brother have a look.

I'm crying, damn it; villain, come die for me.

Speaking, Hong Zun's sword surged with spiritual power, directly executing his famed sword technique, the Wine God Sword Art.

Seeing this, Qing Shi's eyelid twitched.

Holy shit, you're really doing this.

Without response, he directly dropped a sword; the terrifying blade instantly enveloped Qing Shi.

Crazy, this old drunkard is definitely crazy; without hesitation, Qing Shi directly unleashed his Heavy Mountain Seal.

The great seal transformed into layers of mountains, firmly protecting Qing Shi.

But as the blade approached, the continuous mountains were sliced layer by layer; watching the mountains shatter, Qing Shi's eyelid kept twitching.

Damn, this old drunkard really wants to fight to the death.

Hong brother, calm down, listen to brother's explanation.

Shut up; if you dare say those two words again, I will surely behead you today.

Okay, Hong brother, stay calm; brother won't say, then it's fine.

Villain, it seems you really want to die.

No no no, Hong brother, Hong brother, brother can at least do this; calm down, listen to Qing brother's explanation.

The sword's edge finally stopped before the last few layers of mountains, then gradually dissipated; at last, he withstood this strike.

Qing Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but turning his head, damn, the second form came again.

His hairs stood on end.

The fierce battle in the sky continued, while the disciples below gradually came to their senses; Zhao Zhengping and other disciples spoke first.

Alright, alright, disperse; there's nothing to see.

It's fine, it's fine, disperse; stop crowding.

In their hearts they secretly cursed, truly a wholehearted sincerity for a dog; they almost cried just now over this.

To say the most angry is undoubtedly Wang Yao; at this moment the girl gritted her teeth, the more she had worried about Qing Shi earlier, the more angry she is now.

Bad master, smelly master, you deserve it; let the Peak Master cleave you with one sword, humph.

She kept cursing; just now she really cried, those tears streamed down, she thought she would never see her master again.

But who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, they came back full of vigor.

I feel deceived by my master, and my father's love is torn apart.

A fierce battle raged for a full half hour; only after Qing Shi's earnest pleas, both before and after the brothers, did Hong Zun reluctantly cease.

Having fallen into the kitchen's backyard, he sheathed his sword and angrily shouted at Qing Shi.

"Speak, what's going on?"

Although Qing Shi indeed returned safely, he truly broke the Tianyan Grand Formation; without the formation suppressing his cultivation, how did he enter the camp?

Facing Hong Zun's question, Qing Shi gave a grin.

"Hehe, that's what they call a mountain man having his own clever plan."

A crisp sound rang out as the wine sword was drawn again.

"Well, when I was with the Formation Sect, I had Second Dog leave an extra Tianyan Grand Formation engraved on the formation plate, to be used at a critical moment."

The wine sword was pulled out another segment.

"I truly didn't mean to hide it from you; back then, Second Dog himself said his materials were only enough to carve one Tianyan Grand Formation."

The wine sword is already half-drawn.

"You know the situation then—Second Dog couldn't access the Formation Sect's treasury, so he forged it for me using his own materials."

The wine sword is about to be fully drawn.

"When I broke the formation, although I had thought of playing a trick on you, I really did it to save the fellow disciples; if I hadn't broken it, none of us could have returned then."

The wine sword is now fully drawn, and sword aura surges again.

"I've learned a big secret, truly, from that old crab's mouth."

The sword light flashed, once again lunging straight at Qing Shi.

"The reason many sea monster kings are absent is that they're plotting to break the coastal grand formation and invade Dongzhou."

"It was almost a shout with all his strength, and the wine sword finally stopped only three inches from Qing Shi."

Seeing Hong Zun finally stop, Qing Shi secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Upon learning of the water clan's plot, Hong Zun also had no time to further quarrel with Qing Shi's matters, hurriedly took out the Revealing Formation and got in contact with Qi Xiong.
