For the sake of his fellow disciples, He Dazhi had no choice but to grit his teeth and press on!
"I want you to swear! You must protect your senior and junior brothers! When the time comes, you must bring all three of them back to me, safe and sound! Bring them back to Big Bamboo Peak! Not one of you four can be missing!" Tian Buyi tilted his head toward the cave ceiling and bellowed, his words ringing with conviction.
When He Dazhi heard what Tian Buyi wanted him to swear, he jerked his head up, his face full of shock. Two lines of tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
The words of the oath showed that Tian Buyi trusted him completely and was giving him free rein. It was trust without conditions! He Dazhi felt that everything he had done was worth it. It was all for Big Bamboo Peak! For the home they shared! So that his fellow disciples would not be rejected and hunted by both the righteous and demonic factions in the future!
"I, He Dazhi, swear here and now! I will protect my senior and junior brothers and bring them back to Big Bamboo Peak whole and unharmed! If I break this oath, may gods and men alike condemn me, may my path to the Dao be severed, and may I be denied reincarnation after death!" He Dazhi swore, his eyes red as he looked at Tian Buyi with unwavering resolve.

"I, Wu Dayi, swear here and now! I will protect my junior brothers and bring them back to the mountain without a single scratch! I will never use what I learned from Qingyun to do
