467: Chapter 467: The Return of dicine Sect (4)
“Rise, all of you!” Ye Chenghong waved his hand, and a gentle breath of air lifted everyone’s bodies.
Everyone was startled; the Sect Leader’s cultivation power had deepened by much!
Observing the hundred or so people standing before him, Ye Chenghong nodded in satisfaction.
“Good!
All of you have done well!
The dicine Sect has secluded itself from the world for twenty years, yet you didn’t waste this ti.
Compared to when I left, everyone’s strength has greatly improved.
Very good!” Ye Chenghong’s praise, filled with confidence, made the dicine Sect’s mbers ecstatic, their excitent and joy intensifying.
An Yiqing smiled as she watched her master interact with the dicine Sect mbers, feeling secretly relieved.
When she first returned to Xuandu City, the dicine Sect had faced its first wave of traitors in hundreds of years, who nearly leaked the dicine Sect’s Secret Technique after stealing it.
Fortunately, she arrived just in ti and returned the secret technique intact.
This incident, however, served as a wakeup call for Ye Chenghong.
Although the people of the dicine Sect had always been united with a common purpose, dedicated to healing and saving lives, thus free from the deceit and intrigue of other sects, this did not rule out the presence of those with ulterior motives.
Therefore, after An Yiqing retrieved the secret technique from the traitors, Ye Chenghong instructed her to keep a close watch on the dicine Sect and quickly root out those with treasonous intentions in a short period.
An Yiqing did not disappoint Ye Chenghong.
In just one month’s ti, with the cooperation of Bai Wuchang and several martial uncles, the few within the dicine Sect harboring malicious intent were completely exposed!
Since then, the dicine Sect had worked together in harmony, waiting unitedly for the return of their Sect Leader!
Today was the day!
Ye Chenghong had returned!
The dicine Sect would shine brightly once again!
In the main hall, after the mbers of the dicine Sect departed, only Ye Chenghong, the four Elders of the dicine Sect, and Ye Chenghong’s junior martial brother, Nie Shan, remained.
The four Elders of the dicine Sect oversaw the affairs of the sect and controlled the dicine, Comrce, Martial, and Punishnt Branches.
The Great Elder, always upright and just, was responsible for the Punishnt Branch.
In his hands, no innocent person had ever been wrongly condemned, nor had any criminal escaped justice.
The Second Elder, robust and powerful, was in charge of the Martial Branch.
His main duty was to supervise the ancient martial arts affairs within the dicine Sect, responsible for enhancing the combat strength of its mbers.
The Third Elder, shrewd and possessing an appearance of simplicity but full of wisdom, managed the Comrce Branch.
All the dicine Sect’s businesses were supervised by him and his disciples, and he always kept everything in perfect order.
The Fourth Elder, next to Ye Chenghong, possessed the highest dical skills and the most extensive knowledge.
He headed the dicine Branch, responsible for all dical-related projects and activities within the dicine Sect.
These four Elders had grown up together with Ye Chenghong and his junior martial brother, Nie Shan, sharing the sa pants since they were but naked children.
They had weathered decades of storms together and still remained highly united to this day, their deep bond needing no further words.
Aside from the four Elders, there was Nie Shan, Ye Chenghong’s junior martial brother.
He was the youngest of the group, thirty years their junior.
Currently, Nie Shan was a middle-aged man of forty, but due to his cultivation of ancient martial arts, this man in white appeared as a young man in the pri of life, with a gentle and dignified face, yet also a maturity and world-weariness beyond younger n.
He held no official position within the dicine Sect, always pursuing his own path and often leaving to experience life.
Ye Chenghong had watched him grow up and simply followed his lead.
There’s said to be a generation gap every three years, and between Ye Chenghong and Nie Shan, there were ten such gaps.
However, their relationship was surprisingly close.
Thirty years ago, shortly after Ye Chenghong’s master brought the ten-year-old Nie Shan back, he passed away.
Ye Chenghong painstakingly raised little Nie Shan until he was twenty, their relationship a blend of both friendship and fatherly love.
After Ye Chenghong secluded himself in Qingning City, no one in the dicine Sect knew of his whereabouts, save Nie Shan, who alone occasionally saw Ye Chenghong during those twenty years.
