Chapter 57 Extermination (2)
Gu Yangjeok adjusted his robe and methodically reviewed recent events.
The Black Dragon Sect’s position was steadily weakening. With the unification of the Shaanxi Daoist factions, the world’s gaze was intensifying…
Positive, yet negative.
The Huashan sect was indeed rising, but it subtly hinted that it was drifting away from the future Gu Yangjie knew.
In a way, it was a bad thing.
“Well, isn’t that just great.”
But Gu Yangjie accepted it calmly.
This life was one where he had drawn a line with his past life.
He severed all ties with the lifelong friend, the Man Tongzi, and seized the Heavenly Dull Sword Technique, which had originally belonged to the Lingxuzi.
On top of that, he had additionally acquired the divine artifact, the Vajra Fist Armor.
He gathered all these together, focusing on elevating his own martial arts and further reviving Huashan.
Living so diligently, he believed he could overcome any hardship that came his way.

Gu Yangjie’s gaze suddenly turned backward.

He had succeeded in twisting the death of his senior brother, Ha Jin’e, into life, but it was only half a victory.
He hoped he would awaken someday, but when that time came, could he truly rise?
He couldn’t be certain.
‘Even if he does rise…’
Gu Yangjie shook his head slightly. Having witnessed such an example in a past life, he pressed his lips tightly together.
