Two Daoist Friends, Why Don't You Return

Huo Jun and Huo Yi, their Magic Power surging, and they warily looked around.

The secret room was empty; apart from the two brothers, there was no Three Daos figure.

"Elder Brother, what's going on?" Huo Yi frowned, his Divine Sense scanning every corner of the secret room again and again.

Huo Jun did not answer; his gaze was fixed intently ahead.

There, Dao Body slowly emerged from the void, as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.

Huo Jun and Huo Yi's hearts almost stopped beating at that moment.

A fear originating from the depths of their souls chilled them to the bone.

This senior managed to enter their secluded training chamber without a sound!

You should know that this is the most heavily guarded place of the Fire Crow Clan, with numerous Restrictions and the blessing of the clan's Fortune.

But in front of this senior, these so-called defenses were utterly useless!

His true strength is unfathomable!

The two dared not be negligent in the slightest, and suppressing their shock, they quickly bowed deeply.

"Junior Huo Jun..."

"Junior Huo Yi..."

"... Greetings, senior!"

"I was unaware of your presence, senior. I apologize for not welcoming you properly!"

He adopted an extremely humble posture, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

Who exactly is this senior?

Why would they come to their small Fire Crow Clan?

Enemy or friend?

Zhou Ming did not answer his question, but simply watched the two of them quietly.

His gaze was calm, yet it seemed to see through their souls and their countless Reincarnation.

"Huo Jun?"

"Huo Yi?"

Zhou Ming murmured the two names, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"A nice name."

"However, don't you think you've forgotten a more important name?"

Upon hearing this, both Huo Jun and Huo Yi were startled, not understanding the meaning behind the mysterious senior's words.

Forgot the more important name?

"Senior is too kind. Since I was born with intelligence, I have been called Huo Jun and have never had any other name."

Huo Jun answered, forcing himself to speak.

Huo Yi, standing beside him, also looked wary and confused.

Zhou Ming shook his head as he looked at them.

"Fine."

"Since you've forgotten, then I'll help you remember."

He said no more, but simply raised a finger casually towards the two of them.

"Fellow Daoists..."

"Why haven't you returned yet?"

One sentence left both Huo Jun and Huo Yi stunned.

Fellow Daoist?

Return?

Who is this unfathomable senior talking to?

Just as they were filled with doubt and surprise, Zhou Ming stretched out his finger and pointed it at the two of them from a distance.

Two barely perceptible Mystic Light flashed and disappeared into their brows.

The next moment.

Boom!

Boom!

Two vast memories, sealed away for countless years, exploded in their minds like a bursting dam.

Buzz!

The two of them froze on the spot.

Born from the Sun Star, they took Form Transformation, accompanied by brothers, and vowed to unify the Demon Clan!

He founded the ancient Heavenly Court, commanded all demons, and achieved unparalleled hegemony. How spirited and ambitious he was!

But what followed was the blood and fire of the Immortal-Demon Tribulation!

The tragic death of his brother, the dwindling of his clan, and... that final, desperate self-destruction!

"Ah--!"

Painful roars burst from their throats.

They clutched their heads, collapsed to the ground, and their bodies convulsed violently.

Faced with this vast and devastating torrent of memories, Huo Jun and Huo Yi's consciousnesses were as fragile as a small boat, instantly torn to shreds.

Di Jun!

Taiyi!

Those two names, dormant for countless Eon, have awakened once more deep within their True Spirit!

After an unknown amount of time, the screams in the secret room gradually subsided.

The two slowly got up from the ground and helped each other to their feet.

They exchanged a glance.

The cunning of Huo Jun and the arrogance of Huo Yi were no longer in his eyes.

Yes, there is enlightenment, bitterness, and... bewilderment after being reborn, all after experiencing endless vicissitudes.

Finally, their gazes all fell upon the figure in the blue robe who remained standing motionless.

Gone was the previous wariness and hostility; in its place came a deep-seated awe and gratitude.

Di Jun and Taiyi bowed to Zhou Ming.

"Di Jun, Taiyi... Thank you Saint, for saving our lives."

Their voices were hoarse, carrying endless vicissitudes and loneliness.

Zhou Ming looked at the two ancient emperors who had once dominated the world, his expression remaining calm.

"I saved you, and I have my reasons."

"You two, come back to the Wu Clan with me."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Taiyi did not hesitate in the slightest, nor did they show the slightest surprise.

They exchanged a glance and bowed again.

"Yes, as the Saint Imperial Edict."

Their answers were concise and to the point.

Zhou Ming was not surprised by their reaction.

This is the choice a smart person should make.

At this moment, Di Jun spoke again, his words carrying a hint of pleading.

"Your Saint, now that my brother and I have awakened, we must also give an explanation to the Fire Crow Clan."

"Please wait a moment, Your Saint, while we arrange some clan affairs. Afterward, we will return to the Wu Clan with Your Saint."

Zhou Ming didn't seem to care; he nodded slightly.

"Can."

He certainly wouldn't refuse such a small favor.

Having received permission, Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance, bowed deeply to Zhou Ming once more, and then turned and walked out of the Cave Abode.

They were going to make arrangements for the Fire Crow Clan.

Although they awakened their memories of their past lives, the Karma of this life must eventually be resolved.

The Fire Crow Clan is, after all, the foundation upon which they are reborn.

Now that they are leaving, they must leave some way out for their community.

Having planned for future development, this earthly connection can be considered resolved.

Di Jun's methods remained as sophisticated as ever, and Taiyi's actions were as Dao Fruit and decisive as ever.

The two brothers worked together seamlessly and smoothly handed over power to the Fire Crow Clan in a very short time.

They also left behind cultivation Cultivation Method that would allow the Fire Crow Clan to live and thrive for a long time to come.

Having done all this, the two had no more lingering attachments and returned to their Cave Abode.

"Your Saint, we have completed the task."

Di Jun said respectfully.

Zhou Ming looked at them and nodded.

Let's go.

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

However, Di Jun and Taiyi stood still and did not follow immediately.

A look of unspoken unease appeared on their faces.

Zhou Ming stopped moving.

He turned around and looked at the two brothers with complicated expressions.

"Speak your mind."

Di Jun took a deep breath and glanced at Taiyi beside him.

Finally, he took a step forward and bowed deeply to Zhou Ming once more.

"Your Saint, Di Jun has a question for you, and hopes that Your Saint may answer it."

"Explain."

Di Jun's voice trembled slightly, a testament to the longing and pain he had suppressed for countless years.

"I want to know... my nine children... have they... have they also been reincarnated?"

"And Xi He, and those Immortal-Demon Tribulation Demon Saint who died for my Demon Clan race during the Great Tribulation of Immortals and Demons..."

"Have they... also entered the Reincarnation?"
