Chapter 115 Return Home (1)
On the way back from the foot of Mount Taishan to the Huashan Sect, the sunlight pouring down from the sky seemed to envelop his skin in a warm embrace.
His steps felt lighter than ever before.
Though many questions still lingered in his heart, his desire to see his family at Huashan Sect outweighed them.
Above all, he heard that Ha Jin’ak had prevailed in his battle against the demonic energy.
Moreover, he could hear news about the Divine Demon Fist, Zhao Hun, and Yu Zhangming.
Though merely peripheral news, knowing they were living well at Huashan was clearly a positive sign.
Especially Yu Zhangming, who was said to be growing without limit.
For Gu Yangji, it was hard to imagine a martial artist at their peak continuing to grow without stagnating.
‘Unless they’ve died and come back to life like I did.’
To pursue the ultimate martial way—the very essence of Wu Ji—without a single moment of hesitation?
He should probably refrain from even suggesting a light spar now.
Gu Yangji shielded his eyes from the blazing sun with the back of his hand.
The midday sun was exceptionally fierce, but it was also a guarded gesture, wary of any eyes that might be watching nearby.
Gu Yangji fingered the brush in his sleeve.
‘By rights, I should inform the Martial Alliance that I intend to return to the Huashan Sect…’
The words spoken by Jie Shang, whom he had met on Mount Tai, still pierced a corner of his heart.
It was impossible to dismiss them as mere ramblings of a madman; the sorrow embedded in every syllable of that voice cut deep into his bones.
