Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 877 - 334: Fame Across the World After a Single Battle (Part 4)

Kang Ming: "Of course I know that going to other lands might be more perilous, but here in the Great Tang, the fate no longer belongs to us. Even if we stay, it’s just prolonging the inevitable, waiting for the right moment to act."Chen Ziyang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you believe that we will have a day to rise again?"

Kang Ming: "The world is unpredictable, anything is possible."

He looked at the other: "I know what you are suspecting. That’s right, it would be easier for me to submit to the Celestial Master Mansion than you, but the reason I don’t go is not because of the idea of preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a bull, but because I still have doubts about them.

Even if the Celestial Master Mansion has already driven out the Li Clan again, who knows if they won’t walk the old path of the Li Clan? Back then, our sect was the force opposing the likes of the Li Clan, and as long as we exist, we tell the world that there was once such a period in history!"

Chen Ziyang took a deep breath: "You...are now the new sect leader, Chen Ziyang greets the sect leader."

Kang Ming: "It’s not urgent. Although you and I have this idea, the future path of our sect is rugged and uncertain, and even if I insist, I can’t say how many twists and turns there will be.

How many people are willing to leave with us, how many can survive with us, it’s hard to predict now.

This is of great importance, there’s no need to force it, and in the current situation, if some people wish to leave, let them go."

He directly raised his hand and handed Han Wuyou to Chen Ziyang.

Chen Ziyang accepted him, and looked up at Kang Ming.

"I have drawn up two lists." Kang Ming said, "You and I are each responsible for one, and we will meet up later."

Chen Ziyang looked at the list given to him by Kang Ming and immediately realized that these should all be staunch disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect.

Presumably, Kang Ming’s own list might be those who are more easily swayed.

How would Kang Ming deal with them?

"Take care, Sect Leader." Chen Ziyang did not ask more, simply gave Kang Ming a deep look, and then left with Han Wuyou.

"The Celestial Master Mansion and the Imperial Court will definitely pursue this vigorously, be careful." Kang Ming knew the other still had doubts in his heart but did not explain further.

How to forcibly transform Han Wuyou into a new ancestral altar, the methods and techniques were in his hands, and he was not afraid of Chen Ziyang acting out of line.

Handing Han Wuyou to him was to put his heart at ease.

The Yellow Sky Sect was treading the most dangerous juncture right now, allowing no room for disturbance or hesitation.

Chen Ziyang guessed correctly.

On Kang Ming’s other list were not only relatively easily swayed disciples of the Yellow Sky Sect, but also those who usually had less contact with the outside world and had less blood on their hands.

Among them, there were many outstanding juniors whom Kang Ming held in high regard.

He left the Snow Mountains of Western Sichuan and appeared in a branch altar.

Inside the branch altar, several young Taoists stood side by side in front of Kang Ming: "Master Kang."

Kang Ming: "How is everyone else?"

The leading young Taoist named Xin Beiyuan answered earnestly, "Everyone’s thoughts are quite scattered, but with your arrangements, they’ve all calmed down, although we are still uncertain about the future."

Kang Ming nodded slightly: "I don’t blame you all."

He smiled rarely: "In my heart, isn’t it also a mess? But life is like this, we still have to walk the path we must walk."

Xin Beiyuan hesitated to speak.

Kang Ming looked at him with encouragement in his eyes.

Xin Beiyuan finally spoke up: "Master Kang, what about you?"

Kang Ming: "I will not submit to the Celestial Master Mansion."

The young Taoists looked at each other, their gazes filled with some panic.

Kang Ming said: "For our sect, I will try to open a new path."

He stopped Xin Beiyuan and the others who wanted to interject: "Go, don’t overthink it, and after today, don’t contact those of us who are leaving."

The crowd hesitated but withdrew.

A short while later, Xin Beiyuan returned alone: "Master Kang..."

Kang Ming: "No need to say more, Beiyuan. You are a rare talent, and if our sect were in its prosperity, we would not delay you. But following us in our current plight may bury your talent. Volunteer yourself to the Celestial Master Mansion and help take in others for the sect, with the broad mind of those now in charge of the Celestial Master Mansion, they should accommodate you. You will definitely make our Taoist Talisman Sect shine."

Xin Beiyuan: "This disciple is far inferior to you, Master."

Kang Ming: "In terms of talent, you surpass me. If I have any concerns, it’s only about misjudging, but I believe the Celestial Master Mansion won’t hold you back, provided you have no further ties with us."

Watching the young Taoist leave, Kang Ming sighed softly.

His eyes showed a hint of confusion.

His gaze once again turned toward the Snow Mountains of Western Sichuan.

He was once very unconvinced.

Clearly, when the Yellow Sky Sect split back then, we were in the right, yet now we’ve fallen into such a state.

Now, as time gradually passes, the dissatisfaction in Kang Ming’s heart gradually lessens.

Especially after Qi Shuo and Han Wuyou’s alliance with the Mortal Tao Country, Kang Ming’s feelings toward his Yellow Sky Sect became complicated.

And the Celestial Master Mansion has indeed gained great destiny.

Besides Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun has emerged.

Although Kang Ming hadn’t discussed much about Lei Jun with Chen Ziyang earlier, deep down he admitted, yes, he admired the other, and in some way, envied him too.

On a personal level, he was even more grateful to Lei Jun for saving his life this time.

Even with the issues between the Celestial Master Mansion and the Yellow Sky Sect, he felt a sense of gratitude.

But what he wouldn’t admit to Chen Ziyang was that, deep down, he had some expectations.

Perhaps, the future Celestial Master Mansion could maintain clarity?

Even though the Li Clan has sown toxic seeds.

But if they can suppress it for generations and prevent it from sprouting again, then the situation will be different.
