On the first day that he ascended his position, he announced an alliance with the evil sect that everyone wanted to exterminate.
Since they were done, Bai Luochu and Pei Qingfeng decided to return to the capital city. As for Qing He and Qing Rong, Ying Lan had already tracked them down and brought them back to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.
"Are we not going to complete your revenge?" When Pei Qingfeng saw that they were already at the capital city of the Cloud Water Nation, he felt a little curious. Since they had already taken care of one of the three immortal sects, Pei Qingfeng felt that they should continue to make use of the momentum they had.
"How can we rush things? Do you think I’m like you?" Bai Luochu found Pei Qingfeng’s attitude rather amusing. She was the one gunning for revenge, but he was even more anxious than her when it came to it. Those who didn’t know might think that Pei Qingfeng was the one who had a grudge against them.
"I can't possibly let Hua Sen do everything, right? Won’t I be seen as a bully if that happens?” In fact, Bai Luochu felt rather guilty towards Hua Sen. Especially when she allowed Hua Sen to witness Lu Wenshu’s death. She felt that as Hua Sen’s senior, in both the soul and cultivation, she had to help him out.
Since she wanted nothing more than to gather her fellow disciples from the temple, she could make use of the alliance to pull them all back to the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence. Their safe return was all that she cared about.
"Xiao Chu, it really is you!" When Qing Rong saw Bai Luochu's figure, she immediately ran over and hugged her.
"Previously at the tea stall, I knew that I had seen you! You refused to acknowledge us and got yourself trapped in the Desolate Region for two whole years..." Before Qing Rong finished talking, she was pulled away by her elder brother.
"Holy Maiden, we have waited for you for a long time. Will you please enter the hall?"
Qing He immediately invited Bai Luochu into the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence before turning around to scold Qing Rong. "Do you know what the meaning of behaving appropriately is? The important matters have yet to be dealt with, why are you holding the Holy Maiden back? Do you think you have nothing else to do?"
Qing Rong instantly felt wronged. How can these grown men know the meticulous thoughts of women? They only know how to kill and fight… Humph!
"I already know the locations of our temple's disciples. They are scattered around the world, and I might need you to spend some time looking for them…” Bai Luochu spilled everything Lu Wenshu told her.
"This subordinate will go and arrange some people to make the search right now! I will definitely bring everyone back." Ying Lan was also looking forward to the day that the Thousand Brilliance Temple made a comeback. He didn’t hesitate before sending down the orders.
After Guan Yue and Meng Luoping went through the two years of ‘cultivation’, the attitude they had was a million times better than before. They no longer bickered the moment they saw each other.
"We already have enough subordinates and the business in the capital city is on track. There isn't a need for us to remain here. We should participate in the search as well..."
Bai Luochu nodded with approval. Bai Luochu knew that Guan Yue and Meng Luoping were at loggerheads before she had left for the Desolate Region. Their change surprised her.
A feeling of relief washed over her as they were both her subordinates and she wanted nothing more than for them to live in harmony.
Bai Luochu noticed Pei Qingfeng's astonished expression and unconsciously coughed twice to cover up the awkward feeling in his heart, "Cough, cough. Since that is the case, Ying Lan, you will make arrangements quickly. I hope I don’t have to wait for too long..."
After everyone had left, Bai Luochu asked Pei Qingfeng, "What’s wrong? Are you surprised?"
Pei Qingfeng nodded and he stared at her with a dazed expression. He knew that she was capable, but he never expected her to be in charge of such a massive faction! She was even operating openly in the capital city!
"There are many more things for you to be surprised about. I hope your heart can take it." Bai Luochu felt that she had to warn him in advance in case his frail heart stopped beating over a few shocks.
Ying Lan moved extremely quickly, and he gathered everyone in a mere ten days. Of course, a lot of it had to do with the help from the other members of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence.
When Pei Qingfeng saw how everyone greeted Bai Luochu with their 'Greetings to Holy Maiden', he was truly shocked. Before he could react, all of them had already departed for the Phoenix King Valley and Battle Devil Sect.
After meeting up with Hua Sen, the two massive factions charged towards the Phoenix King Valley. With their ferocity, anyone along the road knew that they were out for blood.
In the Phoenix King Valley, none of them knew that a great catastrophe was about to land on their heads.
"Valley Master, things are getting out of hand! A group of people rushed through the mountain gate's restriction and are fighting their way up." An outer valley disciple staggered into the hall and reported.
At the end of the day, he was merely an outer valley disciple and he had inferior movement skills compared to Bai Luochu’s group. By the time he made the report, they had already arrived in the main hall.
"Old Valley Master. It has been many years, I trust you have been doing well." Bai Luochu swept her gaze across everyone with a carefree expression. Her relaxed face was a stark contrast to the looks of panic she received.
The Valley Master had no idea what was happening, but when he saw a stranger show up at the entrance of the main hall, he swept his spiritual energy towards her.
Judging from her appearance, he knew that he had never seen her before. When he felt her qi presence, a strange look appeared in his eyes. He felt that he had seen her before, but when he thought about where he had seen her before, he failed to recall anything.
