Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 89: Reunion

"I’ll do my best." Wang Jun smiled.

Lin Xiao nodded. He pointed down. "Let’s go and meet with Yun and someone."

"Someone?"

"I’ll introduce him to you."

Wang Jun nodded and followed Lin Xiao as the latter agilely moved around in the steep wall. From the way it looked like, Wang Jun could see that Lin Xiao didn’t exert any unnecessary strength when climbing nor moving down. After staying here for a year, his skill had started to show.

The two of them reached the cave and Wang Jun followed as Lin Xiao climbed down with the rope. Of course, he didn’t need it and directly jumped after Lin Xiao had landed and called out.

"You can come down now, Elder Wang."

"Elder Wang?" Lin Yun was stunned. His hand, that was holding a bowl of fish soup, trembled in confusion.

Lin Xiao looked at the bowl. "You better put it away first."

"Ah, ok."

Tep!

Wang Jun landed on the ground and then looked around. He was astonished when he saw the cave that these three had been using to live. There was no equipment that was normally seen outside since they merely used the rocks and Primordial Light Night Moss to make table, chairs, and bed.

"This...?"

"We find this coincidentally and have been here for a long time," Lin Xiao explained. He looked at Lin Yun. "Yun, this is Elder Wang."

"Wang Jun, Associate Elder of Taiyi Sect," Wang Jun introduced himself.

Lin Yun’s mouth was agape. He was looking at Wang Jun with disbelief. This.... this... Wasn’t he Shopkeeper Wang? He felt that the sudden turn of event when Shopkeeper Wang suddenly turned out to become Elder Wang was too astonishing and hard to believe.

How could he directly accept someone who used to be normal merchant was actually a powerful expert?

Bang!

The wall trembled and Wenren Yu rushed in. He was abnormally sensitive to the word ’Taiyi Sect.’ Whenever someone mentioned that phrase, he would undoubtedly move swiftly so that he could hear more.

Whatever news regarding the sect was incredibly important in his eyes.

Upon seeing Wang Jun, Wenren Yu’s eyes widened. He would definitely recognize the face of the elders from Taiyi Sect. While Wang Jun was not really a formal elder, he was also someone who spent his time in the sect a lot.

His eyes watered as Wenren Yu cupped his hand. "Wenren Yu, Taiyi Sect Outer Disciple greets Elder Wang!"

Wang Jun’s mind blanked for a moment. The scene of fire and also utter destruction played within his mind. Because he was an associate elder and not really an elder in the sect, his residence was quite far.

Of course, he originally wanted to head out to help, but the Sect Head gave him sound transmission and ordered to leave directly. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to go. He had a much more important mission given to him.

Find the real Emperor Inheritance’s Inheritor and guide him in the right way.

When he came to Taiyi Sect’s ground afterwards, Wang Jun had seen how everything was utterly destroyed. The buildings were flat to the ground. The plants were burned to the point that the forest surroundings were also enveloped in fire.

Corpses of disciples, elders, and even workers there littered the ground. No one was alive. Even the outer disciples were chased by the people and killed on the spot before they were left there to rot in the open.

It was a ghastly sight.

But now.... there was a disciple who was still alive!

Wang Jun was so moved that he wanted to break down. It seemed that the Heaven didn’t want Taiyi Sect to disappear, there are still disciples who are alive!

He turned to look at Lin Xiao. It was not hard to guess that Lin Xiao must have been hiding Wenren Yu’s existences and tried his best to help Wenren Yu to recover. It was impossible to run away unscathed from that hell.

"Thank you."

"I only did what I ought to do," Lin Xiao replied. In the past, he had always wanted to join Taiyi Sect, so when he saw a disciple of the sect that he wanted to go was wounded, he couldn’t bring himself not to help.

Wang Jun smiled. Not everyone was willing to help strangers. "I would like to talk with Wenren Yu for a moment. Do you mind?"

"Not at all. After you’re done, we’re going to talk again." Lin Xiao walked to his younger brother. "We’ll prepare lunch."

"Alright."

If he had to be honest, Wang Jun didn’t recognize Wenren Yu. There were too many outer disciples in Taiyi Sect for him to remember each of them. However, he still could recognize the attire that Wenren Yu used.

it was the robe that belonged to Taiyi Sect Outer Disciple.

Lin Xiao walked to the other room with Lin Yun following not far behind him, looking curiously in Wang Jun’s direction.

"Brother."

"Yes?"

"Is he really an associate elder?"

"Yes." Lin Xiao pursed his lips. Even he himself found it hard to believe. Much less Lin Yun who had less contact with Taiyi Sect. "He’s very strong and will help me to become an Emperor."

"Brother, you have decided to become an Emperor?" Lin Yun teased.

"Tsk, you know that I don’t have the choice. Now, let me cook."

"Wait, let me do it instead!"

"Don’t worry, I know how to cook."

Lin Yun: "..." the last time you nearly burn all the herbs, ah!
