Jiang Hao looked at the departing Holy Master and fell silent for a moment.
Before he left, the Holy Master seemed to have bowed to him, recognizing Jiang Hao as an elder brother. This…
was somewhat strange.
Although he had been addressed as “Brother” frequently, it was a habit brought by Laugh Three Times.
But Gu Jin, the first to be titled Laugh Three Times, had already died.
Which “brother” was the Holy Master calling out to?
Laugh Three Times or himself?
It seemed that it was himself now.
Jiang Hao sighed.
If it weren't for the Saint Bandits, perhaps the Holy Master wouldn't have known who he was before his return.
“What a pity.”
Jiang Hao shook his head but didn't dwell on it.
What was done was done, and it was best to let nature take its course.
Overthinking wouldn't change the facts.
Afterward, Jiang Hao pondered.
He felt it might be good to check on Chu Chuan and the others.
If they encountered serious trouble, he should pay some attention.
Otherwise, with their spirits damaged, they might slink back in defeat,
and wouldn't that nullify all their efforts?
Those who had left wouldn't return without achieving something.
But if they did achieve something, they would become entangled in all manner of trifles and be unable to return.
Though they might think of returning, busy days would fly by,
and before they knew it, there was no one left to return to.
Although he wouldn't be gone, by the time Chu Chuan and the others returned, perhaps he would have already moved on to another place.
Pouring himself a cup of tea, Jiang Hao drank it while operating the Cause and Effect Ruins.
Once Jiang Hao was done with his tea, the causal thread brightened.
It then formed into a ball of light.
Eastern region.
On top of the mountain peak, Chu Chuan stood suspended in the air.
A dark banner stood firm behind him.
Black gas constantly emanated from it, and occasionally, one could hear miserable screams.
At the center of the mountain peak, two factions faced off against each other.
“Chu the demonic, there's no escape here. You've committed heinous acts and massacred the innocent, nurturing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Today we shall act in heaven's stead to enforce justice,” said a young man in a tone filled with righteous indignation.
“What a baseless accusation,” Chu Chuan said from his high vantage, “I have always been taught by my fellow disciple to be honorable before heaven, earth, all creatures, and most importantly, before myself. How could I be the demon from the devil path that you describe?
“Where would the righteousness of the world be if people of the devil path were like me?”
“A joke! If you're not of the devil path, then what is that Ten Thousand Souls Banner in your hands?” the young man retorted angrily.
“What Ten Thousand Souls Banner?” Chu Chuan queried, looking at the banner in his hand: “This is an immortal sect's Thunder Banner. As members of the rightful path, do you not recognize the Heavenly Thunder Banner?”
“Since when is the Heavenly Thunder Banner black?” someone questioned.
“A joke! To think the cultivators of the eastern region are renowned for their extensive knowledge, and yet you're unaware of the Yin Thunder Banner,” Chu Chuan shouted back angrily.
“Heavenly Thunder Banner? If it is indeed that, why did you obliterate three sects?” the angry young man demanded.
Hearing this, Chu Chuan seriously replied, “Are you talking about the three sects of Mo Mountain? They were dedicated to justice and knew that my Heavenly Thunder Banner is a symbol of the true path's righteousness. They yearned to join and serve as Banner Soldiers, contributing their strength to the rightful path.
“Our goals were aligned, and I couldn't bear to see them unable to fulfill their wishes.
“Thus, they were received into the banner with the light of thunder.
“And for that, they were overwhelmingly grateful.”
As Chu Chuan finished speaking, his followers chimed in, “Exactly, they wished to serve our rightful cause, yet you hinder them at every turn. What are your true intentions?”
More voices joined in.
“You seem to be of the righteous path, yet you fail to recognize the Heavenly Thunder Banner and even obstruct its growth. It seems you have ulterior motives.”
“Perhaps you are the devil path's spies hidden within the righteous, intent on destroying the very foundations of the righteous path.”
“Could it be that you are of a different race, seeking to create chaos among our people?”
“These traitors must be exposed to all, revealing their identity and the race to which they belong.”
For a moment, those behind Chu Chuan spoke with vehement righteousness, convinced that these individuals were undercover agents and spies.
“You're spouting nonsense,” the young man snapped back, unsure of how to explain himself.
“Nonsense?” someone from behind Chu Chuan shouted, “Do you realize that Chu, the immortal, is a leader of the righteous path, a disciple of the person who inherited the legacy of the Ancient Venerable? You may question the whole world, but dare you question a leader of the righteous path?
“This Heavenly Thunder Banner was personally named by him. At the summit of the Heavenly Note Sect, he bestowed upon us the sound of the Tao and descended with thunder, transforming into the Heavenly Thunder Banner.
“He is unsurpassed under the Tao. You people, who are spies of a different race, how could you possibly challenge the Tao?
“Today, we shall enforce justice on heaven's behalf.”
“You're all talking nonsense. Who is this leader of the righteous path? I've never heard his name,” said the agitated young man. “And when did we become spies of the people?
“We've been exclusively committed to subduing monsters and demons, and we haven't done anything wrong.”
“How can you fail to recognize the Heavenly Thunder Banner then? You say you don't believe? Then go to the Heavenly Note Sect and inquire about the leader of the righteous path. His name is boundless; once you go there, you will know, and once you meet him, you will understand.
“You dare to speak out without understanding?
“It's obvious you're spies, slaughtering our people, annihilating the righteous path.” The people behind Chu Chuan grew fervent: “To live without ever seeing Jiang Hao Tian is to make a vain claim to the righteous path.”
“Jiang Hao Tian?” The young man latched onto the name instantly.
“It's Jiang Hao. Our area of blue sky is named after him; hence it's called 'Jiang Hao Tian',” Chu Chuan hadn't even spoken when someone else said it.
Heavenly Note Sect.
Jiang Hao withdrew his gaze with a somber expression.
He was at a loss for words about his current feelings.
It felt very odd.
Somehow, he had become the leader of the righteous path,
and not only that, Jiang Hao Tian's name had become known again.
And this explanation was a bit different from the spirit beast's situation.
It wasn't as exaggerated, but it was equally captivating.
