Daughter Of The Dao And Devil Venerable

Chapter 154

Chapter 154 - Grand Memorial

Since he first ventured out for training at the age of twenty, Lu Junyang had returned to Guiyuan Sect many times, but he had never been greeted at the gate. Of course, the unpredictability of his return time was a factor. However, this time, seeing Lu Yaoyao and Wen Zixing, his junior brother and sister, waiting for him at the entrance, Lu Junyang felt an unprecedented sense of joy. He quickened his pace and scooped Lu Yaoyao up by her waist, lifting her into the air.

Just as Lu Yaoyao rushed to Lu Junyang, she found herself soaring. She laughed joyously, her short legs dangling, "Brother Junyang, you're finally back!"

Lu Junyang responded with a light chuckle.

Wen Zixing politely greeted from the side, "Welcome back, Eldest Senior brother."

Lu Junyang turned to Wen Zixing with a smile, "I'm home, Junior brother Wen."

With Lu Yaoyao in Lu Junyang's arms, the trio walked toward the interior of the sect.

Lu Yaoyao was very embarrassed. Although no one believed her, she was already eighteen, and yet everyone still treated her like a baby!

"How's the sect recently? Has there been any troubles?" Lu Junyang asked as they walked. As the Cultivation Realm's leading sect, any movement within the Guiyuan Sect was closely watched, and news spread quickly. He was aware of the recent happenings in the sect, but because of the matter's complex nature, it was impossible to discern the details just from the gossip and rumors he heard on the road.

"Well, there were a lot of opinions, but no one dares to act rashly," Lu Yaoyao sighed internally. She actually hoped for more uproar. The greater the stir, the more it would plant seeds of thought in people's minds, potentially growing into a towering tree one day. However, the discussions were largely one-sided, leaving no room for heated debates. Even those who detested the elder's ideology didn't dare to openly denounce him. Now, with the influx of visitors from other sects, everyone has ceased their discussions, maintaining the demeanor befitting the disciples of a major sect.

Knowing Lu Junyang's influence in the sect, Lu Yaoyao curiously asked, "Brother Junyang, what do you think?"

Lu Junyang didn't immediately voice his thoughts. He first needed to understand what his Master, or rather, His Venerable, intended to do.

When they reached the main peak, a disciple approached them, "Eldest Senior brother, the sect leader awaits you in the Shang'an Hall."

"I understand." Lu Junyang proceeded to Shang'an Hall, setting Lu Yaoyao down before entering. "Go have fun." He patted her head.

Lu Yaoyao, reluctant to leave, said, "Brother Junyang, come find me when you're free."

"Of course." With that, Lu Junyang entered the hall.

When Lu Junyang entered, Lu Chongyun was alone in the vast Shang'an Hall, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing toward the window.

Lu Junyang, stopping at a respectful distance, cupped his hands and performed a formal bow, "Disciple greets Master."

Lu Chongyun turned around, his stern expression softening slightly, "It's good you're back."

Lu Junyang began by delivering a detailed report of his recent mission. He had to admit it was not a success, "As we expected, devils were spotted in Tiangu Valley, but we were one step too late. When we arrived, two families in the small town near the valley had been slaughtered, and we couldn't prevent the tragedy."

Lu Chongyun snorted coldly, "Those crazed devils are bloodthirsty by nature, casually wiping out entire families without a shred of humanity."

Lu Junyang continued, "We tracked for several days, nearly catching the culprits, but we were a step late. An unknown force took them away..." He detailed his experiences in Tiangu, concluding, "We searched for a day without finding any traces, so we left."
