C437 Bad News
Chen Yu looked at Chu Tianshu who had fallen outside of the Stellar Polar Hall. While his expression was shaken, his heart had also sunk to the bottom.
It was true that the mountain sealing ceremony was a tradition of the Ruling Spirit Sect, but Chen Yu felt that it wouldn't alarm the Sect Master of the Ruling Spirit Sect into appearing during the mountain sealing ceremony, especially when the Sect Master didn't appear during the mountain sealing ceremony.
Furthermore, what was there in this insignificant descendant of the Polar Extreme Peak that was worthy for the Ruling Spirit Sect sect master to personally come?
The image of Falling Star Immortal's old yet gentle face appeared in Chen Yu's mind, causing his heart to tremble.
"Enter the palace!" Chu Tianshu did not say anything more. He glanced at everyone with a gaze as deep as the ocean. It was hard to guess as he walked towards the main hall.
Chen Yu looked at the warriors who came with Chu Tianshu and saw Hua Xuan Du.
After three years of not seeing Chen Yu, Hua Xuan's aura had become even more unfathomable and his breath did not leak out. He and Chen Yu looked at each other and after a slight pause, he nodded, but his expression was still heavy.
At this point, Chen Yu was completely sure of his guess and felt a sense of loss in his heart.
Under the urging of Shen Qing and the other Law Enforcement Hall elders, a group of Polar Extreme Peak disciples walked in.
Chu Tianshu did not sit on the main seat. Instead, he stood in front of Falling Star Immortal, watching that chair with his back facing everyone.
After everyone had entered the hall, Chu Tianshu said: "Hall Master Shen, announce the news to the Polar Extreme Peak Disciples!"
"Alright!" Shen Qing nodded, took a step forward, stood at Chu Tianshu's side, and faced the crowd. His gaze swept past all the Polar Extreme Peak disciples including Chen Yu, and said: "Lin Zhi, Jiang Heng, Wu Yunyi, Jiang Chen, Xu Wen and Chen Yu, since all the Polar Extreme Peak disciples are present, then, I, the Ruling Spirit Sect Master Shen Qing, will announce a piece of news that you all must know!"
Chen Yu held his breath.
Lin Ji and Jiang Heng both had a serious expression on their faces. It could even be said that they were nervous.
As for the other Polar Extreme Peak disciples, each and every one of them had similar expressions. They didn't understand what was going on, and why even the Sect Master was alarmed when the mountain had been sealed for three years.
"This is the news!" Shen Qing's voice became deeper and deeper as he sighed, "Your Polar Extreme Peak Lineage Falling Star Immortal, Elder Han Sheng, and Elder Dan Yun Cheng all perished one year ago, and the Soul Lamps in the Soul Hall have been extinguished!"
"Hong!" Chen Yu felt his mind shake and a moment of blankness appeared in his mind.
Even though he had already expected this, even though he had already seen the clues from the expressions of the experts, Chen Yu still found it hard to accept.
After announcing this news, Shen Qing stopped talking and looked around at all the Polar Extreme Peak disciples. It was clear that it was to give the Polar Extreme Peak disciples time to digest this news.
"This is impossible!" Even in front of the sect master, in front of all the experts with exceptional Ruling Spirit Sect, Lin Ji still lost his composure, his eyes turning red as he shouted in anger.
Jiang Heng clenched his fists tightly and stared at Shen Qing with a stupefied expression. The wood elemental Qi in his body surged and expanded abruptly. However, after hearing the grievous news, he immediately lost his composure.
The others were at a loss, at a loss of what to do.
After his mind was completely blank, Chen Yu had already recovered and accepted the news. It was not that he was unkind, but it was because he had not known Falling Star Immortal for a long time and was mentally prepared for this news. After he initially found it hard to accept, his heart calmed down.
Speaking of which, Chen Yu had a strong sense of foreboding before Falling Star Immortal left.
"This isn't true, it can't be true!" Lin Ji shook his head. He looked around at the crowd, looking for a negative answer in order to prove that this news was false from someone. Obviously, he could not accept this news.
None of the higher ups of the Ruling Spirit Sect responded to him, giving him the answer he hoped for in his heart.
Shockingly, Lin Ji burst into tears.
Jiang Heng's body tensed up like a log.
Chu Tianshu still had his back facing the crowd.
"Enough!" Shen Qing suddenly shouted loudly, his voice was like thunder, resounding inside the hearts of the eleven Polar Extreme Peak disciples.
Woo Yunyi and the others raised their heads and looked at Shen Qing in confusion.
The pressure from the Profound Dark Stage Rankers was too strong. Even though his emotions had broken down, Lin Ji, whose face was full of tears, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Shen Qing.
"Falling Star Immortal had expected this to happen. Feng Shan had made his arrangements!" Wu Tie said.
"Hall Master Shen!" At this moment, Chu Tianshu finally turned around. His scholarly face carried a trace of a warm smile. His voice was as warm as jade and had a force that would cause others to quieten down.
As Chu Tianshu opened his mouth, Lin Ji, who had broken down in emotion, couldn't help but stop crying.
"The death of senior apprentice brother Falling Star was the loss of my Ruling Spirit Sect!" Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "I can understand your sorrow. However, how can martial practitioners of my generation indulge in grief like ordinary people? If you do not even have this little bit of ability to control sadness, how can you face Senior Brother Fallen Star's desire to send you all? "
All of the Polar Extreme Peak disciples were silent.
"Before Senior Brother Luo Xing descended the mountain, he met our sect and said, Polar Extreme Peak has been declining for a long time, but eleven young disciples cannot lose their future because of his death. Once the sealing of the mountain has expired, if any disciple wants to leave the Astral Reaching Sect, they are allowed!" Chu Tianshu said calmly: "This is Senior Brother Falling Star's intention, thus, our sect is here asking you, out of the eleven of you, who among you wants to leave the Polar Extreme Peak Faction?"
All the disciples were silent.
"There's no need to worry!" Chu Tianshu said: "Senior Brother Fallen Star, Elder Han, single elder have all died, their Polar Extreme Peak s no longer have a senior overseeing them. Furthermore, our sect can promise you that no matter who leaves, you can make arrangements for them. Whether it's entering the Principal Peak Clan or any other mountain ranges, we can promise you that! "
Lin Ji and Jiang Heng went silent while Woo Yunyi and the other disciples suddenly raised their heads.
"This will give you a better future, this is senior apprentice brother Falling Star's wish!" Chu Tianshu then continued: "The disciples who leave now can all get a good arrangement, and if they don't leave now, they will forever be Polar Extreme Peak disciples, and cannot be separated. Even if your Polar Extreme Peak are removed, there will no longer be any Peak Veins that will accept you! "
When these words came out, it immediately caused the disciples of the Polar Extreme Peak to be shocked in their hearts.
Chu Tianshu didn't say anything else. He just stared at the crowd. His eyes were gentle, without any hint of sternness, and there was even encouragement in them.
"Disciple wants to enter the Principal Peak Clan!" Finally, someone spoke.
Chen Yu turned his head to look and was slightly surprised.
The one who spoke was none other than Woo Yunyi.
"Very good. Later on, leave with the sect. Who else can it be?" Chu Tianshu's expression did not change as he nodded with a smile.
"Disciple, disciple also wants to enter the main peak to cultivate!"
"Disciple wishes to enter the Fire Cloud Peak Faction!"
"Disciple."
A group of Polar Extreme Peak disciples said in succession. Their expressions were no longer at a loss, there was only determination.
It was not suitable for them to leave the Polar Extreme Peak faction at the moment, but Chu Tianshu said that if they didn't leave now, they would become Polar Extreme Peak disciples forever, causing them to be unable to care about all these.
Shen Qing, who was on both sides, along with the other Elders, shook their heads.
Polar Extreme Peak, was definitely going to be destroyed!
Only Lin Ji, Jiang Heng, and Chen Yu remained silent.
"What about you?" Chu Tianshu looked at Chen Yu and the other two and asked, "Who's called Chen Yu?"
"Disciple Chen Yu greets the Sect Leader!" Chen Yu did not expect Chu Tianshu to call out his name. He was slightly startled before he bowed and replied.
"You have not been in the Polar Extreme Peak for long, are you willing to leave?" Chu Tianshu said.
"Disciple is willing to stay in the Polar Extreme Peak!" Chen Yu saw the scrutiny in Chu Tianshu's eyes and answered without any hesitation.
"Have you thought about it?" Chu Tianshu guided them and said, "Polar Extreme Peak may be removed, and at that time, there will be no mountain vein for you to take in, so you will have no one to guide you, and you will have to cultivate on your own!"
"Disciple has thought it through!" Chen Yu said, "Absolutely!"
Chu Tianshu nodded and looked at Lin Ji and Jiang Heng.
"Disciple will stay!" Jiang Heng said in a low voice.
"Disciple will never abandon the Polar Extreme Peak Faction!" Lin Ji also said with a determined tone.
Lin Ji's answer was unable to surprise Chen Yu. Although Jiang Heng's tone seemed calm, the fact that he was very determined actually surprised Chen Yu.
The sighing sounds came from Peak Master and the elders who had witnessed the sealing of the mountain.
"Then, only the three of you are left in the Polar Extreme Peak Faction. According to the rules, one of you must enter the top ten rankings for this year's great sect competition, otherwise your Polar Extreme Peak will be removed from the thirty-six peaks!" Chu Tianshu said.
Chen Yu and Lin Ji, Jiang Heng, were both silent. They already knew about this.
"Disciple, Polar Extreme Peak, listen up!" At this time, Chu Tianshu suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
Chen Yu and Lin Ji looked at Chu Tianshu.
At this time, Shen Qing waved his sleeves and the Spiritual Dipper turned into a long belt, sweeping up Woo Yunyi, Zhou Hong and the other disciples who had expressed their desire to leave the Polar Extreme Peak and sent them out of the Stellar Polar Hall.
"Following Falling Star Immortal's last wish, with Chen Yu as the head disciple of Polar Extreme Peak, all matters concerning Polar Extreme Peak will be decided in one go. The other disciples must obey their orders. Chen Yu will come forward to receive the Peak Token and Star measuring Ruler! "
He saw that Shen Qing had a wooden plate in his hand. On the motherboard, there was a jade token that Falling Star Immortal had given to Shen Qing three years ago when they sealed the mountain.
What shocked Chen Yu was that the Divine Artifact was also placed beside the order badge.
The ruler that no one activated was a dark and simple iron ruler. It was about three feet long and had fine engravings on it. However, Chen Yu could feel a powerful and pure star power hidden within the ruler.
Falling Star Immortal of Mount Li actually did not bring along the Star Ruler, this Divine Artifact!
"Chen Yu, receive this order!" Chu Tianshu shouted in a low voice after he saw Chen Yu in a daze.
"Chen Yu, receive the order!" Chen Yu came back to his senses and sighed. He stretched out his hands.
Chen Yu knew that accepting this order was equivalent to accepting the entire Polar Extreme Peak, as well as a heavy responsibility, and the survival of the bloodline!
However, Chen Yu also knew that he had to take on this order.
