Seeing this beast, only one person could come to mind. In the previous generation of the Devil Sect, there was a beautiful, exceptional enchantress. She habitually rode a Gold-furred Roarer. Once, she encountered a disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect, and the young people fell in love. However, this was a forbidden love, which led to the enchantress's demise. As for the Supreme Purity Sect, because of this love, they expelled that disciple.
After that, the Gold-furred Roarer constantly followed that disciple.
Now, this rarely seen beast had reappeared in the Supreme Purity Sect. This meant that the person from Werewolf Ridge had come!
The Liuxiang Sect members, who had just been audacious and confident, froze. They were perplexed.
Tang Su Su also felt a mix of emotions. After all, she harbored the most hatred for this beast's master!
The beast appeared at a critical moment for the Supreme Purity Sect. However, Luo Yuan Gong also felt mixed emotions.
"Uncle!" Tang Yi murmured to herself. She had not actually expected him to come. This person had been by her side since childhood, and she deeply admired him.
Su Po was also relieved. He truly had not expected this person to come. He had merely tried sending Tu Han to him, and indeed, he had arrived.
Clearly, he had prepared long ago and had been constantly near the Supreme Purity Sect. Otherwise, how could he have appeared at such a time? He must have heard the whistle of the singing arrows and the ringing of the bell.
It was said that whenever the Supreme Purity Sect faced difficulties, a guardian would always appear nearby. Regarding this, Su Po was very satisfied. "Brother, brother. You are truly wise. Of the three disciples, you are the most talented."
Some people believed this beast was simply passing by. Such a beast was extremely rare in the current era. They did not understand where it had come from.
Wu Shao Huang no longer looked so joyful. He scanned his surroundings, searching for the roarer's master, but could not see him anywhere. Exchanging glances with his fellow disciples, he decided not to act rashly. That madman from Werewolf Ridge had single-handedly shattered over ten sects, and not weak ones at that. That madman was ranked 9th on the Jin Dan List. The Liuxiang Sect was certainly no match for him.
Wu Shao Huang had not at all thought that this exiled sect member would appear. He gripped his sickle with both hands and said discontentedly:
"Let's go!"
Some Liuxiang Sect disciples were surprised. They didn't understand what was happening; someone wanted to ask what was wrong. However, the elders immediately waved their hands, looking quite grim.
The Liuxiang Sect members began to withdraw. But Tang Yi, who had been constantly looking around, suddenly spoke sternly:
"Everyone, stop!"
With that person having arrived, she instantly felt a surge of confidence!
The Liuxiang Sect members halted. Wu Shao Huang turned and asked gloomily:
"Our Liuxiang Sect has slightly erred. We beg forgiveness."
Tang Yi said in a severe tone:
"You broke into our Supreme Purity Sect and killed our sentinels. And you say you've 'slightly' erred?"
"...." Wu Shao Huang didn't know how to respond. Finally, he grasped the sickle with one hand, extended the other, and immediately swung the sickle, severing his own arm. The arm fell to the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Brother!" The Liuxiang elders immediately cried out. They rushed to him, trying to cover his wound and stop the bleeding.
Many disciples didn't understand what was happening. Liuxiang Sect disciples used two hands to wield the sickle in attack. Losing one arm was tantamount to losing half of one's strength. Why would their Jin Dan realm elder cut off his own arm?
A pale Wu Shao Huang pushed everyone away and, bowing to the Supreme Purity Sect, said:
"Forgive me!"
After speaking, he turned and departed with the Liuxiang Sect disciples.
Not a few Liuxiang Sect disciples were still confused. However, everyone looked at the proudly standing Gold-furred Roarer. After its appearance, Wu Shao Huang had acted differently. Someone began to understand something.
The Supreme Purity Sect disciples watched as the Liuxiang Sect retreated. They looked at the arm Wu Shao Huang had left behind. Some still didn't understand what had happened, while others stood with complex emotions.
Seeing the Liuxiang Sect leave, the beast roared again, looking up at the sky. Then, majestically, it began to retreat back into the depths of the mountains.
Tang Yi soared upwards, instantly covering a hundred zhang. She headed directly towards the beast.
"Sect Master, come back!" Tang Su Su angrily cried out. She knew Tang Yi was looking for him.
Tang Su Su was just about to follow Tang Yi and stop her when Luo Yuan Gong, standing beside her, immediately grabbed her hand and firmly restrained her:
"Sister. No matter what happened in the past, he saved the sect just now. We must thank him."
Tang Su Su's expression became serious... She wanted to say something but remained silent.
Tang Yi quickly rushed towards the mountain peak.
She ran through the trees and soon reached the place where the beast had disappeared.
A moment later, she found the beast standing by a mountain stream. It was bathing in the cool, rushing river.
And beside it, on a large rock, sat a dishevelled man. He held a wine jar and poured wine into his mouth. No, he wasn't drinking the wine; he was just pouring it on himself. At that moment, the Gold-furred Roarer shook off water, causing drops to splash onto the man. Some even landed in his mouth. Yet, he paid no attention whatsoever.
After gulping down some wine, the man burped, placed the wine jar on the rock, and looked with a smile at Tang Yi standing before him.
Seeing this person again, Tang Yi struggled to recognize him. In her memory, there was an intellectual man, dressed in white, with the bearing of an immortal, constantly composing exquisite poems. But now, before her stood a ragamuffin, with dirty, dishevelled hair. His face was filthy, as if he hadn't washed in months. His clothes were also blackened from not being laundered.
Recalling the man she had seen in her childhood and looking at the man now before her, Tang Yi didn't know what to say.
Originally, the most talented disciple of the Supreme Purity Sect, the most promising disciple, the strongest candidate for sect leader, eventually fell in love with an enchantress from the Devil Sect, which led to his expulsion from the sect.
Tang Yi later heard that he was revered for good reason. For he later ascended rapidly in cultivation. He shook the heavens and ranked among the top ten on the Jin Dan List. Her father, Tang Mu, often sighed. He said that the third disciple had unfortunately strayed onto the wrong path. Otherwise, the sect leader would have been the third disciple, not Tang Mu.
Tang Yi couldn't understand: could one truly abandon a brilliant future for the sake of a single demonic girl? And now live in destitution, acting like a vagrant?
"Uncle!" Tang Yi gathered her courage and greeted him.
"Ehhhhh," the dishevelled man burped and, shaking his head, said:
"Girl, your uncle isn't here. No need to shout like that."
Tang Yi still persisted:
"Thank you, Uncle, you saved our Supreme Purity Sect from ruin."
The dishevelled man pointed at the two wine jars next to him:
"Your father, Dong Guo Hao Ran, and I buried wine here together. We agreed to drink it when the time came. I heard your father and Dong Guo Hao Ran died. So I remembered the wine. I wondered if the wine was still here? Maybe it's gone? Turns out it is. Excellent wine, good wine! I came for the wine, not for the Supreme Purity Sect. You've imagined too much!"
Seeing that her uncle refused to acknowledge her, Tang Yi didn't argue. She clasped her hands and said:
"The Supreme Purity Sect is currently facing difficulties. And Uncle, you are very renowned throughout the world. Now, the Supreme Purity Sect can rely on you. Perhaps you would consider staying?"
The dishevelled man shook his head and said with a smile:
"Girl, I heard you got married?"
At these words, Tang Yi felt awkward. She blushed.
"I have no money now, nothing at all. Nothing to give you. Only this thirty-year-old wine. Take it as a wedding gift!" The dishevelled man waved his hand, and one wine jar immediately flew towards Tang Yi.
Tang Yi accepted it and fell silent. Who knew, perhaps her father had buried this wine.
The dishevelled man, picking up the wine jar again, said with a smile:
"That blabbermouth and harbinger of misfortune, Dong Guo Hao Ran, once said that my character didn't match my name. So I changed. I never thought he would be so accurate. Your husband, I heard he's Dong Guo Hao Ran's last disciple? Even though Dong Guo Hao Ran took him in before his death, he had a sharp eye. He wouldn't take just anyone. There must be a reason for it. You should find a way to get your husband back. Then everything will be fine."
After speaking, he leaped up and landed on the Gold-furred Roarer, which then galloped along the mountain stream.
Seeing him leave, Tang Yi cried out:
"Uncle, do you truly wish to see the Supreme Purity Sect fall?"
"What is past is past, irreversible. What was yesterday cannot be brought back today; everyone must now look only forward. The Supreme Purity Sect, having limped along to the present, can no longer sustain itself. It will only get worse from here. Girl, you are not foolish. No matter how you became the sect leader, once you are the sect leader, you must act as one. You shouldn't listen to everyone; what's the point of being a leader then? Make bold decisions and act according to your own reason. I'm leaving!"
The dishevelled man spoke his last words, and on the beast's back, he rode upstream. Water splashed to the sides, yet the man managed to drink wine along the way. He disappeared further and further into the distance.
