Honghuang: Oh no, the Witch Clan Chief has lost his mind!

Chapter 252 Reunion After Many Years!

Flower and Fruit Mountain, in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

This time, Wukong's birth did not include the scene of him jumping into the Water Curtain Cave at Flower Fruit Mountain to recognize the Monkey King.

This was thanks to the previous battle between Tongtian and Zhunti; the creatures in this area had long been terrified and kept their distance.

No living being dared to approach!

This Water Curtain Cave was also discovered by the monkeys accidentally while they were exploring Flower Fruit Mountain.

He initially felt that there was a familiar aura of his teacher inside the cave, and assumed that it was arranged by his teacher, so he settled in there with peace of mind.

This is precisely why the all-seeing eye couldn't detect where Sun Wukong had gone!

At this moment, Tongtian, with Sun Wukong in tow, had just left the cave and were preparing to ride a cloud to the underworld.

Suddenly, he felt something and looked up towards the direction of the Thirty-Third Heaven.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Following Tongtian's gaze, Sun Wukong saw auspicious clouds dotting the horizon, with celestial light appearing and disappearing.

It was as if something was heading straight for Flower Fruit Mountain.

"The person who dotes on you has arrived!"

Tongtian smiled and looked at the horizon with affection.

As soon as Tongtian finished speaking, several streams of light descended from the sky and landed on the grass in front of the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

As the sunset faded, several figures were revealed, each exuding an ethereal aura!

Leading them were two female immortals:

A figure dressed in a seven-colored fairy robe, with a cool and aloof demeanor.

A woman dressed in simple white, gentle and dignified.

Behind the two were several male and female immortals, all of whom possessed profound auras. The least among them was at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, a level higher than the monkey's Golden Immortal strength.

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up:

"Huh! Why are there so many people all of a sudden? What are they here for?!"

But before Wukong could finish his questioning...

The next second, he was completely stunned.

As the immortals landed, their gazes all fell upon Tongtian, some even glistening with tears.

Then--

"Thump," "Thump"...

Everyone knelt down in unison and respectfully kowtowed to Tongtian!

The leading female immortal in her seven-colored robes, in stark contrast, touched her forehead to the ground, her voice choked with emotion as she spoke:

"Disciple Jin Ling...pays respects to Master!"

The woman in plain clothes choked up after finishing her prayers:

"This unworthy disciple...pays respects to Master!"

The people behind him also said in unison, "Disciple greets the Tongtian Sect Master!"

"Um?!

Are these the disciples of the Jie Sect that the teacher has always been concerned about?

Wouldn't they all be my senior brothers and sisters?!

Wukong's eyes darted around, and he instantly understood the key point.

He was ready at any moment, planning to greet each of them one by one after his master finished catching up with them!

……

Tongtian smiled and stood still.

Looking at the former disciples kneeling on the ground, he was momentarily dazed.

A thousand years!

Since he self-destructed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation,

A full thousand years have passed since Biyou Palace was destroyed, Jin'ao Island sank, and the Jie Sect vanished!

He hadn't seen these disciples who had once been by his side day and night for a full thousand years!

Now these familiar faces are kneeling right in front of him, alive and well:

Jinling, Wudang, Wenzhong, Lingyaxian, Jinguangxian, Wuyunxian...

Tongtian was a little teary-eyed!

"Get up!" Tongtian said, his face full of relief and emotion.

"Get up, all of you! Let your teacher take a good look at you!"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit raised her head, her eyes already filled with tears:

"Master...this disciple...this disciple thought I would never see you again..."

Her tears brought tears to the eyes of all the immortals behind her.

Who says immortals don't shed tears?! They just haven't touched a nerve yet!

Although the Virgin Mary of Wudang was relatively restrained, her eyes were still a little moist.

This accumulated psychological repression was finally released at this moment:

"Since we parted at Biyou Palace, we have not seen each other for a thousand years."

The disciple misses Master day and night, hoping only for Master's safety...

Tongtian was moved and stepped forward to personally help Jinling and Wudang up. The others were also helped up by the power of the sage.

He looked at his two most beloved female disciples from back then.

A thousand years have passed, and their appearances remain unchanged, but the vicissitudes in their eyes have deepened considerably.

"You... have suffered," Tongtian said softly.

At just this one sentence, Jin Ling couldn't hold back anymore. Recalling the past, tears welled up like a burst dam:

"Master... Junior Sister Guiling... she... she has perished..."

There are also many junior brothers and sisters...!

Turtle Spirit?!

That little girl who always timidly called him "Master" couldn't escape this great calamity either?!

Tongtian's hand trembled slightly, even though he was mentally prepared.

But hearing firsthand about the deaths and disappearances of so many of his disciples still caused him immense pain.

Thinking of this, Tongtian looked around, but he couldn't see his beloved Duobao.

He then asked:

"Where's your senior brother Duobao?! Could it be that he's also...?"

Although he asked aloud, Tongtian's hands were already performing divination incantations, and the power of a sage flowed rapidly around his body.

"Master!"

Brother Duobao...he was forcibly converted to Buddhism by the two Western Saints!

"I see!"

A fierce glint flashed in Tongtian's eyes, and he stopped the incantation he was performing.

He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear once more.

"I will go to the West to seek justice for Duobao's matter, so you don't need to worry!"

"The fact that you're alive is the best thing that can happen!"

The atmosphere was growing increasingly tense.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Sun Wukong behind Tongtian.

Wen Zhong wiped his eyes.

Feigning doubt, he stepped forward to lighten the mood and said:

"Master, who is this...?"

Tongtian turned around, heard this, and shook his head with a smile.

He glanced at Wen Zhong, then turned and patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder:

"Wukong, come here. Greet your senior brothers and sisters."

Sun Wukong obediently stepped forward and bowed to each of them, saying, "Junior brother Sun Wukong greets all senior brothers and sisters!"

After Sun Wukong finished bowing and paying his respects to everyone, they all nodded in satisfaction.

Jin Ling stepped forward and carefully examined Sun Wukong, sensing the familiar yet unfamiliar sword intent within him.

And that unfathomable potential—a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Immediately flatter Tongtiandao:

"Master, you still have such a good eye!"

This junior brother has quite the air of yours, Master! His future achievements are destined to be extraordinary!

Tongtian watched with a smile, offering no reply.

Sun Wukong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and scratched his head.

The Holy Mother of Wudang also stepped forward and carefully examined Sun Wukong. The more she looked, the more alarmed she became.

"This junior brother's physical body is formed from a Chaos Immortal Stone... and there are... two completely different holy power auras within him?"

Master, this...

"This is a long story. I'll tell you about it later when I have more time!"

Tongtian waved his hand.

"By the way, what brings you all to Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Wen Zhong quickly spoke up to improve his image in front of Tongtian:

"Reporting to Master, the Heavenly Court is sending people down to the mortal realm to assist in the Journey to the West tribulation, and we disciples have 'striked' out this task."

Ostensibly, they were assisting Buddhism, but in reality, they wanted to...find an opportunity to revitalize the Jie Sect and incidentally trip up Buddhism!

"We came to Flower Fruit Mountain today to see our junior brother, but we didn't expect to find you here, Master!"

Tongtian smiled and nodded in satisfaction, while Lingya Xian also laughed heartily:

"Great news! Excellent news!"

"Our master has returned, and taken in such an extraordinary junior brother! The revival of our Jie Sect is in sight!"

All the immortals smiled, as if the gloom that had weighed on their hearts for a thousand years had been completely dispelled at this moment because of Tongtian's return.

Tongtian watched his disciples chatting amongst themselves and nodded with satisfaction.

"You've all been very kind! But I have other plans for you, Wukong."

"As for the Journey to the West, just proceed according to plan; there's no need to interfere too much."
