At this time, in front of the stele in the Valley of Crime.
Sitting in front of the stele, staring at the wooden sword, Su Lingwen was lost in amazement. Guided by Yun Shu, she had just pulled the sword Qi out of the stele and turned it into her own successfully.
She had wind-type sword Qi, which was different from Yun Shu's, but it was still powerful. In fact, it had never occurred to her that her sword Qi could be this mighty.
The sword Qi had surpassed the power of rank nine Ordinary Level martial art skills!
And both of them could feel that the sword Qi still had plenty of room to grow. If they could successfully cultivate it, they couldn't imagine how powerful the sword Qi would be!
But Yun Shu wasn't thinking about this. He knew that it was time for him to leave the valley, according to the rules of the sect.
He had spent several months in this valley. When he first entered, things could not have been worse. At that time, he was not even a cultivator. Being thrown into this place basically meant death to him.
Yun Shu himself couldn't believe the series of adventures that he had later encountered in the valley. Now his cultivation had been greatly improved, and he had comprehended the stone stele left by the founder of the sect.
Right now, the thing that Yun Shu wanted to do the most was to meet his father and share the joy with him.
The sky was turning gray in the east. From the direction of the entrance of the valley, Old Du and He walked to Yun Shu together.
Yun Shu immediately grinned. "Seniors, can we leave now?"
"Yes, both of you can leave the valley now. But there are some things that you have to keep in mind," said Old Du seriously.
"What is it?"
Old Du and He recounted the discussion they had with the chatty old man. Of course, they skipped the part about Yun Wanli. They only told Yun Shu and Su Lingwen that the sect was also going to release all the convicted disciples for the sake of their safety.
Old Du and He also mentioned pieces of information about Chen Buran and Lin Rulie.
Although their words remained quite ambiguous, Yun Shu could tell that Chen Buran and Lin Rulie actually disliked him very much.
Yun Shu had no idea where these two old dogs popped out from and why they hated him. However, he had decided to fight back no matter when they tried to give him a hard time.
Currently, Yun Shu was fully confident in himself.
Given enough time, he was confident to defeat all his enemies!
"Boy, work even harder after you leave this place. You can be the one to make the Fire Mystic Sect thrive again," Old Du looked at Yun Shu and said sincerely.
"I will! Thank you, Senior! I'll push myself hard!" Yun Shu hurriedly promised.
Old Du nodded and then turned to Su Lingwen, sighing emotionally. "Lingwen, it's been so many years… Today, you can finally leave this place."
"Seniors, I'll keep your kindness in mind. Without the care that both of you showed to me in the past many years, I would have died a long time ago," said Su Lingwen in a low voice.
"Don't say that. Both of us owe your family. When—" Old Du recalled their past.
"I get it." Su Lingwen interrupted him coldly. Apparently, she didn't want to talk about her family. Therefore, both gatekeepers had to stop.
"Let's go," Su Lingwen said to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu nodded. Carrying Su Lingwen on his back, he bowed to the two seniors and then left the valley.
Su Lingwen had spent so many years in the valley that everything she saw on their way back to the sect attracted her attention.
Seeing that, Yun Shu also slowed his pace and introduced everything to her. Before they could go far from the valley, both of them heard lots of footsteps coming after them.
"Senior Brother Yun!" someone shouted Yun Shu's name at the top of his lungs.
Yun Shu turned around and saw Feng He and his seven or eight hundred men trotting behind. All of them had regained their freedom.
"You didn't wait for us, Senior Brother Yun!" Feng He gasped hard to catch his breath like everyone else.
Yun Shu smiled and shook his head. "All of you are free now. You don't have to follow me anymore. Go back to the sect, and you will be properly arranged."
However, a tall and sturdy guy said aloud, "The sect is an ass! They kept me so long in the valley for a minor mistake! I don't know about others, but from now on, I only know you, Senior Brother Yun, not the Fire Mystic Sect!"
"True! Only Senior Brother Yun, not the Fire Mystic Sect!" The rest of them all agreed.
Yun Shu's brows slightly lifted. To his surprise, they were all so loyal to him!
What else could Yun Shu say?
"I am delighted to hear this. But from now on, please keep the words to your mind to avoid any unnecessary trouble. All of you aren't criminals in the valley anymore, but ordinary disciples. If you don't want to be bullied, get strong!" said Yun Shu.
His followers all nodded.
"You're right, Senior Brother Yun! From now on, we'll cultivate even harder, both for ourselves and also for serving you better!" shouted one of the disciples.
"To serve Senior Brother Yun! To serve Senior Brother Yun!"
Yun Shu's followers shouted at the top of their lungs at the same time!
Yun Shu smiled. "Very good. Work as hard as you can. When you need more pills, ask Feng He for them!"
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Yun!" They all came down onto their knees and exclaimed excitedly.
Yun Shu was about to leave. However, the disciples were still following him.
"Why?" Yun Shu asked in surprise.
"Senior Brother Yun, you're going back to see your father?" Feng He asked with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah. So?"
"Senior Brother Yun, you're our savior. We don't know how to pay you back. So, we all want to stand in front of your father and at least kowtow to him!" Feng He explained.
Yun Shu hadn't expected this at all. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and nodded. "Alright. Do what you want."
Since Yun Shu could remember, his father, Yun Wanli, had always been a servant in the sect. Anyone could be bossy in front of his father.
But now, Yun Shu's so many followers were going to kowtow to him. Yun Shu hoped that his father would be able to enjoy this moment of glory and feel proud of his son.
However, when Yun Shu arrived at the place where his father lived with Su Lingwen and his followers, what he saw instantly made him bristle with fury!
