Chapter 125: Parting

Good times are always short-lived; early the next morning, Xiao Sanxiao had already returned.

He sat in the courtyard, waiting for the others to come out.

"Puchi!"

The doors of the four rooms opened simultaneously; everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that none of them had slept soundly that night.

As they walked into the courtyard, Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Senior, you have come truly early."

Xiao Sanxiao smiled and said:

"Little Duan, are you reluctant to let them go?

If you are reluctant, it is not too late to speak up now."

Duan Fengyun smiled and replied:

"Senior, you are joking.

I am certainly reluctant, but they must still go; please lead the way, Senior."

"Good lad, determined enough!

Since that is the case, then you all follow me."

Xiao Sanxiao expressed his admiration for Duan Fengyun's resolve.

The four martial brothers returned to their respective rooms, gathered their wives' and children's bundles, and then followed Xiao Sanxiao as he walked outside.

When they arrived at the bank of the great river, Xiao Sanxiao pointed to a large ship docked by the shore and said:

"Get on the ship!"

Duan Fengyun carried Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Ruoruo onto the ship and said to the two little ones:

"Good children, Mother and Auntie are taking you on a boat trip to have fun; you must listen well to Mother and Auntie.

Daddy will come to pick you up in a while; you must be good."

The two little ones, innocent of the ways of the world, nodded and said obediently:

"Daddy, don't worry.

We will definitely listen to Mother."

Duan Fengyun hugged Youruo tightly and said:

"Youruo, take care of yourself and the children; wait for me to come and pick you up. Take care."

Youruo leaned against Duan Fengyun's chest, reluctant to part, unable to bear letting go.

This touching farewell, however, did not move Xiao Sanxiao, who had long since seen through the vanity of the world.

Xiao Sanxiao shouted:

"You stinky brats, the tide is about to rise, I must set sail quickly.

If you stinky brats are reluctant to let them leave, then you can all go to Linggui Island together."

Duan Fengyun shook his head; he also wanted to go.

But blindly avoiding the situation was not a solution; he had to face Di Shitian eventually.

Moreover, for the sake of the Dragon Essence, he had no choice but to face him.

"Youruo, take care!"

After kissing Youruo on the cheek, Duan Fengyun turned and flew off the ship.

On the other side, Nie Feng and the other two also flew off the ship, and the four of them shouted:

"Take care!"

As Xiao Sanxiao raised the sails, the ship gradually moved further and further away from them, until it disappeared from their sight.

Holding back his sorrow, Duan Fengyun looked at his three martial brothers; the reluctance in the three of them was fully exposed.

He spoke up:

"Aiya, do not be reluctant anymore.

Let us find a way to deal with Di Shitian sooner, so that we can bring them back sooner."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the three of them were suddenly invigorated.

Yes, now was not the time to be sad; they had to find a way to eradicate Di Shitian!

Qin Shuang spoke up:

"Junior Brother Duan, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

Duan Fengyun actually had no plan in his heart right now, but in the current situation, he absolutely could not say that.

Finally, he said:

"Let us first go to Zhonghua Lou to find Senior Wuming and see if we can find a way to unite the people of the Central Plains Martial Arts to resist the strong enemy together."

Nie Feng and the other two thought about it; it seemed that this was the only way out for now, so they reached a consensus: rush to Zhonghua Lou and seek guidance from Wuming!

While they were rushing to Zhonghua Lou, inside Heaven Gate, Di Shitian was sitting on his throne, looking at the people on both sides of him.

Di Shitian tapped his Ice Sculpture Mask and said:

"Shenmu, tell me about your recent recruitment situation.

How many sects have agreed to submit to my Heaven Gate?"

Shenmu said:

"Reporting to Master, the Divine Calculator and I sent out Heaven Gate notification letters, demanding that the martial arts sects submit to our Heaven Gate.

But all the sects treated our Heaven Gate notification letters as nothing; not a single sect has come to submit to our Heaven Gate."

Di Shitian laughed wickedly:

"This group of cowardly martial arts people truly does not shed tears until they see their coffins."

"Shenmu, you shall go to every sect and faction tomorrow."

"For any that do not submit to my Heaven Gate, show them some color."

Shenmu nodded and replied:

"Yes, this disciple obeys your command."

Di Shitian turned his head to look at the Divine General and said:

"Divine General, speak."

"What did you encounter on your trip to find Duan Fengyun and those four brats, that you actually returned injured?"

The Divine General said angrily:

"Those four brats are despicable and shameless."

"They actually used human-sea tactics on me; if it weren't for that Nie Feng's Cultivation Method attribute perfectly countering my World-Destroying Demon Body, those four would have long been captured by me."

"Next time, I will definitely make these four brats truly experience the taste of angering me."

Di Shitian waved his hand and said:

"If your skills are inferior, they are inferior; you and Shenmu go to the major sects together."

"Leave those four brats, Duan Fengyun and the others, to me; I will play with them properly."

Di Shitian turned his head again to look at the Divine Calculator and said:

"Divine Calculator, how is the recruitment situation on your side?"

"Has anyone come to defect to my Heaven Gate?"

The Divine Calculator opened his mouth and said:

"Reporting to Master, up until now, I have only recruited one person!"

"Oh, who is it?"

Hearing that someone had actually been recruited without having to suffer his own methods, Di Shitian asked with rare interest.

"Pojun, son of the Sword Sect, and senior brother to the current Martial Arts Myth, Wuming!"

"After he was defeated by Duan Fengyun and the others previously, he went into hiding."

"However, the Greedy Wolf and Heaven Blade twin swords in his hands are among the best divine weapons in the Jianghu, and he is a perfect candidate for your plan, Master."

The Divine Calculator replied.

Di Shitian nodded and said:

"Not bad, then accept him."

"Let him go to your Heaven Realm!"

Hearing the plan discussed by Divine Calculator and Di Shitian, the Divine General, Divine Wood, and Divine Official were all confused, not knowing what plan the two were discussing.

But they were only curious; they never dared to inquire about Di Shitian's affairs, unless they felt they had lived too long.

At this moment, Di Shitian was still talking to himself in his heart:

"Wuming, Wuming."

"He should be the only excellent Bloodline produced among my useless descendants."

"It is a pity that I am immortal, otherwise I would definitely cultivate you into my successor, haha."

Di Shitian stared at Divine Official and asked:

"Divine Official, how is the intelligence network I ordered you to establish coming along?"

"If you can't do it well, just say so, and I will simply replace you."

Divine Official immediately stood up from his seat and threw himself onto the ground, saying:

"Reporting to Master, the intelligence network has already been set up."

"I guarantee that you, Master, will be able to grasp information in the Jianghu at the first moment."

Di Shitian's words had terrified Divine Official; if he had dared to say a word about not being able to do it well just now, his life would likely have been forfeit.

Di Shitian nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Good, you all continue to work hard; in five more days, I will prepare to truly re-emerge in the Jianghu and make the name of Heaven Gate ring out."

"You all do your work well; in five days, we establish Heaven Gate."

"Yes, Master."

The four said in unison.

After the four finished speaking, Di Shitian turned into a wisp of light smoke and disappeared.
