Jin'ao Island, before Biyou Palace.
When Qin Mu strolled out of the void with Lu Ya, the entire sacred land of Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage instantly erupted in jubilation.
Sect Master Tongtian had long been standing atop the steps before the palace gate, his dark azure Taoist robe snapping in the sea breeze of the East Sea.
Behind him, the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords radiated earth-shakingly sharp Sword Qi, as though celebrating their Senior Brother's return.
"Ha ha ha! Mu'er, well done!"
Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily, striding swiftly down the steps and grabbing Qin Mu by the shoulder. The admiration and pride in his eyes nearly overflowed.
When he had seen Qin Mu erase the Termination Divine Ray with one finger and shatter the Heaven-Burying Seal with a single sword thrust in the water mirror at Zixiao Palace, Sect Master Tongtian had felt that the most correct decision of his life had been picking up this eldest disciple beneath Buzhou Mountain and bringing him back to the Sect of Interception.
What Dao Ancestor Hongjun? What great demon lord of the previous epoch? Before his precious disciple, none of them amounted to anything!
"Greetings, Senior Brother! Senior Brother's divine might covers the world, shaking the heavens!"
Daoist Duobao, Golden Spirit Mother, Mother Wudang, Zhao Gongming, the San Xiao sisters, and all the core disciples of the Sect of Interception bowed in perfect unison.
The gaze every one of them cast at Qin Mu brimmed with almost fanatical worship.
This was the Senior Brother of their Sect of Interception!
Not only could he pin Heavenly Dao Saints to the ground and grind them back and forth, but now even those ancient Demon Gods said to have buried entire epochs were effortlessly dealt with by Senior Brother as if pulling weeds!
