Chapter 355: The Return of the Heavenly Master

"Greetings, Ancestral Master!"

Upon recognizing the old Daoist's face, Yang Jin hastily bowed in respect.

In the midst of the celebration, as Zhou Yi nostalgically recounted hardships and sweet memories, not a single disciple lacked a sense of gratitude. Hearing that the old ancestor's lifespan was nearing its end elicited a sense of melancholic pity for the twilight years of a hero, invoking an involuntary sympathy and closeness.

With just a few casually uttered sentences, Zhou Yi's reputation within the sect surpassed that of Tong Xuan's after more than a decade of efforts, second only to Xuan Yu.

Tong Xuan was not a fool either. After carefully considering events before and after the celebration, he realized that this seldom-seen patriarch could not be swayed by flattery, and he immediately ceased all further schemes.
