Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 97 Travels (1)

After barely managing to calm herself down, Luo Zai Shui took Su Wu Si back and then, dragging her weary body, went to find Nie Xu Shuang and the others.

The group sat down together again.

Luo Zai Shui remained silent, and the others were too exhausted to speak either.

Chu Yeli was the first to break the silence: "I say, why have you gathered everyone together again? Is there something important? If it's nothing life-or-death, I'm leaving now."

Luo Zai Shui slowly raised her head, and with a snap, she slammed the Luo Shui Sword onto the table.

"Gentlemen, I have something to say."

Seeing Luo Zai Shui's serious expression, everyone present unconsciously sat up straight. Chu Ye Li waved his hand and skillfully set up the soundproof array.

Luo was still worried, so she put up a few more soundproofing talismans.

"This matter concerns the massacre of the Luo family more than 20 years ago."

Sun Heng felt the name sounded familiar: "Which Luo family? The one from Japan?"

Luo Zai Shui nodded, and the Luo Shui Sword began to glow with pale blue light patterns. The surrounding environment changed rapidly, and the scenes of the past reappeared.

Upon seeing that scene again, Luo Zai Shui felt no emotion whatsoever.

When it was over, the expressions on everyone's faces were quite interesting.

What do you all think?

Luo stood up, placed his hands on the table, and scanned everyone.

"Junior sister, you..."

Shi Ming felt a little scared. Luo Zai Shui had now revealed her identity to everyone, and he was worried that this group of people might do something to harm her.

Sun Heng stood up and glanced around at them: "Everyone, you should all know why Junior Sister Luo showed us these things. Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment: "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. I suppose that in the near future, other sects and families will also end up in the same situation as the Luo family."

Chu Yeli gritted her teeth: "The Wen family is incredibly audacious, resorting to any means to achieve their goals, even colluding with the demons."

"This is simply outrageous!" Nie Xushuang grabbed Luo Zaishui's hand and patted it gently. "We are all disciples of our respective sects, so let's speak frankly today."

“Alright.” Sun Heng was the most straightforward. “I’m sure everyone shares the same thought as me. If the Wen family doesn’t make things difficult for my Metallurgy Sect, I naturally won’t clash with them. If they make things difficult for other sects, I naturally won’t interfere either. Otherwise, the Wen family’s next target will inevitably be our Metallurgy Sect. Therefore, our Metallurgy Sect and the Wen family have always maintained a relationship of keeping to ourselves.”

"Heh..." Chu Yeli snorted coldly, interrupting him, "You've seen it now, even if we keep to ourselves, he'll still use you as a scapegoat when it comes to personal gain."

The usually quiet Sun Yuan quickly stepped between Sun Heng and Chu Yeli: "Big brother, please don't argue, let me say something first."

"I'm sure everyone shares the same thoughts as our Metallurgical Sect, but as you can all see now, if things continue like this, the Wen family will inevitably dismantle the power of the major sects and families one by one. If they want to resist in the future, it will be like throwing an egg against a rock."

"Sit down, you have no right to speak here." Sun Heng pressed Sun Yuan back into his seat, then turned his attention to Luo Zai Shui, "Junior Sister Luo, you're the one who gathered these people, so what do you plan to do?"

Luo Zai Shui curled her lips, her face devoid of color. Shi Ming was about to speak when she was interrupted.

"I think what everyone is afraid of now is nothing more than one thing: the fear that they will be isolated and helpless if they resist."

Luo Zai Shui's words expressed everyone's concerns.

They are teammates standing side by side, close friends, and rivals. They are proud and arrogant, and they will never easily entrust their backs to each other. Therefore, they are wary and cautious.

But today, Luo Zai Shui wants to break through this fear and this concern.

Chu Yeli was somewhat surprised. He raised an eyebrow: "That's true. So what should we do?"

Luo Zai Shui exhaled a breath of stale air: "Whether you believe others or not, please believe me. When you are isolated and helpless, I will come to your aid."

Shi Ming was stunned for a moment, while the others were filled with suspicion. They were his direct disciples, so they were not fools and would not easily believe a word from him.

Chu Yeli smiled slightly: "Just because of your word?"

Luo Zai Shui seemed to have been waiting for him to say those words. She smiled and said, "I can swear an oath to heaven and earth."

Before Shi Ming could stop him, Luo Zai Shui formed a hand seal, and golden light emanated from his forehead.

"I, Luo Zai Shui, hereby swear that if any of you present are in danger, I will go through fire and water to rescue you. If I break this oath, may my bones be crushed and my ashes scattered, and may I never be reincarnated!"

As the golden light descended, the oath was fulfilled.

This is a letter of commitment that Luo Zai Shui conveyed to the five major clan members.

Before anyone could react, Shi Ming's voice rang out.

"I, Shi Ming, hereby swear that if any of you present are in trouble, I will go through fire and water to rescue you. If I break this oath, may my bones be crushed to ashes and I be condemned to eternal damnation!"

Chu Yeli was so shocked that she dropped her folding fan to the ground: "Are you all crazy! This is a vow made to heaven and earth!"

Shi Ming said nonchalantly, "This is our attitude. We can't represent Xianyun Peak, but we can represent ourselves. What about you?"

“Since that’s the case, then we should also show our attitude.” Ye Xiao also placed Huaiyun Sword on the table and swore an oath.

"I, Ye Xiao, hereby swear that I will share joys and sorrows with all of you present here. If there is any difficulty, I, Ye Xiao, will go through fire and water without hesitation. If this oath is true, may I never be reincarnated!"

"Tsk..." Chu Yeli impatiently picked at his ear. "Since you've all made your stance clear, it wouldn't be right for me not to. Like you, if you're in trouble, I will definitely come to your aid. If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!"

"Good! That's the attitude we want!"

Sun Yuan also made Sun Heng's oath along with the oath.

In the end, only Nie Xushuang remained. Seeing Nie Xushuang's gentle smile, Luo Zaishui couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Nie Xushuang was the oldest and most composed among them. This matter was like a child's play to her, but only in this way could the disciples put aside their suspicions and fight the enemy together.

Nie Xushuang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and chuckled softly, "Since you've all said so, how can I, as your senior sister, hold you back? I, Nie Xushuang, hereby swear that if any of you are in trouble, I will do my utmost to help you. If I break this vow, may I be doomed forever!"

"We are us, and the sect is the sect. If the sect can't let go, we will!"

Chu Yeli poured a cup of tea for everyone: "A toast to loyalty and righteousness! A toast to freedom!"

The others rose and picked up their teacups, saying, "To loyalty and righteousness! To freedom!"

"Dry!"

After finishing the bowl of tea, there was no longer any animosity between them.

"However, there's still one problem right now." Chu Yelijiang paused for a moment, "The only people we can trust are a few of us."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zai Shui smiled and said, "Isn't having each other enough?"

Ye Xiao nodded: "We are top geniuses. We have already rebelled, so how could the people behind us not follow suit?"

Chu Yeli looked at Luo Zaishui, a smile gradually appearing in his eyes, and scolded her playfully, "You really are good at scheming."

"I dare not accept such praise. It is but a small spark that will surely start a prairie fire."

That year, a genius from the cultivation world ignited a bright flame.
