Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1254 - 544: Arrival at the East Sea

Back then, he discussed with Su Guo and Jin Shouyun, and it seemed like they decided to split evenly?

In the end, he was entangled with trivial matters and missed the timing.

Thinking back to those years when their cultivation was low, that special camaraderie stirred in Li Yunjing’s heart with subtle emotions.

Today, there aren’t many who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!

"Wang Yun, you once said you would reopen ’Yaxiang Inn’ in the Eastern Sea; has it been realized now?"

Li Yunjing turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in the corner.

Wang Yun straightened his back, his voice filled with pride: "Vice Sect Leader, the largest restaurant in the Shenxiao Island Market is the one I’ve opened with Brother Yue Zhouwang!"

The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Jiang Feilong and Shi Huilan exchanged glances, bitterness rising in their hearts.

No matter how diligent they were, they couldn’t earn such natural closeness.

"Everyone has worked hard over the years."

Li Yunjing seemed to sense the change in atmosphere, raised his hand in a gesture, and from the "Storage Ring," light flickered with more than a dozen boxes suspended in the air: "These are gifts from me to you, hoping you will strive further in cultivation."

Everyone enthusiastically took the jade boxes, feeling the resources inside, their smiles growing brighter.

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

The crowd thanked in unison.

"Let’s go inside! Don’t stand outside, follow me to the trading company, and let’s chat!"

Li Yunjing took the lead and walked forward.

The group followed around him, a large crowd returning to the "Star Moon Trading Company" with great momentum.

In the market, many cultivators looked at the young man leading them with awe!

Through the conversations of these people, outsiders found out that the young man was the Vice Sect Leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," a true figure of authority in this area!

In the backyard of the "Star Moon Trading Company," his own courtyard, which he hadn’t visited for a long time.

Li Yunjing gazed at the cleanly maintained courtyard, revealing a hint of a smile.

The people below hadn’t just given him perfunctory efforts.

He picked up the Spirit Tea offered by Shi Huilan, the aroma mixed with a familiar taste, which he had obtained from Jin Shouyun in the past.

After chatting with everyone, Li Yunjing mentioned his upcoming marriage, asking those who followed him to the Eastern Sea to return with him, while Shi Huilan would arrange people for the vacant positions left by those departing.

Over twenty years have passed, and the "Star Moon Trading Company" on "Shenxiao Island" was no longer in the desperate situation of having no one usable.

At least, as Shi Huilan introduced, Li Yunjing knew there were a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators employed here.

Now that Li Yunjing was transferring his trusted aides away, some local people in the Eastern Sea felt secretly pleased.

This was indeed a good thing!

They found themselves benefiting unexpectedly, receiving promotions and pay raises for no apparent reason.

Jin Shouyun, Su Guo, Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun, and the group of old-timers naturally wouldn’t stay here; returning to the mainland with Li Yunjing was definitely advantageous!

The people understood that chaos in the Eastern Sea had already arisen; who would want to stay in this dreary place?

Jiang Feilong’s fingers gripped the teacup so tightly that they turned white, the tea creating small ripples in the cup.

He stared at the side profile of Li Yunjing, chatting and laughing, his Adam’s apple moving several times before finally gritting his teeth and stepping forward: "Vice Sect Leader..."

Words welled up in his mouth but were swallowed back down as he caught a glimpse of Shi Huilan’s smirking gaze, causing a sudden tension in his heart.

"Steward Jiang, what do you need?"

Li Yunjing turned to look at him, his gaze as calm as an abyss.

"I..."

Jiang Feilong knelt on one knee with his forehead nearly touching the green bricks, "I plead with the Vice Sect Leader to take me back to the Sect! It’s been almost thirty years since I came here; I truly miss the Sect!"

His voice trembled, his mind flashing back to the intelligence that "Celestial Net Dao Sect" was closing in day by day.

If I stay here, when the battle starts, everything I’ve painstakingly built up might be reduced to nothing, and I might not even be able to preserve my life.

He is a True Disciple with great prospects!

After returning to the Sect, a little maneuvering could land him a good position.

Even if the hope of competing for the Sect Leader Venerable is lost, there’s still a fair chance of becoming an Elder in the future.

He definitely doesn’t want to stay here as cannon fodder.

Of course, Jiang Feilong isn’t afraid of death to that extent!

It’s just that "Shenxiao Island’s" strength is too weak!

On the island, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has only one Golden Core Realm expert, Elder Wu Cheng.

What use is just one Golden Core Realm expert?

On such a battlefield, where giant sects are vying for power, the mortality rate for Golden Core Realm cultivators is extremely high!

Seeing as there’s no hope for the future, why stay here?

Naturally, Jiang Feilong wished to be transferred back.

"Steward Jiang, what are you implying?"

Shi Huilan scoffed with disdain, saying: "’Shenxiao Island’ is in need of personnel right now, yet as the market manager, you’re dropping your duties, leaving the island cultivators stranded, what are you doing?"

"Vice Sect Leader, Steward Jiang must have had a moment of confusion."

She turned to Li Yunjing with a gentle smile: "The trading company just acquired a batch of South Sea pearls, perfect for adding to your wedding adornments—what do you think?"

Li Yunjing watched the pair, listening intently.

It seems these two aren’t on good terms!

As for what has caused their grievances over the years, Li Yunjing wasn’t interested in knowing.

"I’ve made my decision."

Jiang Feilong suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, "Since you left ’Shenxiao Island,’ I have been diligently cultivating day and night and have now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm Eighth Heaven! If I can return to the Sect, I will surely form a Core and contribute more to the Dao Sect!"

Seeing Shi Huilan still wanting to speak ill of him, Li Yunjing waved his hand, indicating she should stop.

"Stand up. If you truly want to return to the Sect, then make sure to properly hand over the market affairs."

Li Yunjing calmly said: "When I return, I will stop by ’Shenxiao Island’ and take you with me."

Regarding Jiang Feilong, Li Yunjing didn’t hold him in high regard; this person was too slick, more like a merchant than a cultivator.
