“Somehow, it all worked out.”
Watching the Divine Demon Fist return to the training grounds, Gu Yangjie exhaled a sigh of relief.
It had certainly been a high-risk endeavor.
Before entering Huashan, they had encountered and fought the Beggar of the Open Sect, even beating him one-sidedly.
There was no way the Open Sect would overlook this.
Moreover, given the sheer power of the Divine Demon Fist, its repercussions could spread like wildfire across the mountain.
However, the benefit of bringing the Divine Demon Fist into the Huashan Sect to strengthen their forces was even greater.
The reward far outweighed the risk. Thus, Gu Yangjie had no choice but to accept it.
And there was also a personal reason.
‘…There’s also that matter with the old man.’
In his past life, he had taught the entire form of the Moon-Defying Shadow to the previous Divine Demon Fist master, but that wasn’t the case in this life.
Ultimately, only Gu Yangjie, who had learned the Heaven-Shattering Thunder Strike, reaped the benefits.
Moreover, his disciple now belonged to the Huashan Sect, not the Divine Demon Fist.
From the moment he received his Daoist name at Huashan, there was no risk of being mistaken for the Divine Demon Sect.
‘By slightly modifying the Zixia True Qi, even the Thunder Qi can be accommodated.’
This just required taking some time to alter the incantations. Gu Yangji looked up at the sunset, its orange hues staining the sky.
“Is it evening already?”
There was much to think about, much to do.
