"Senior Brother Shen, if not for our young master this time, I fear we would never have been able to turn our fortunes around — spending the rest of our lives as slaves and servants, enduring every humiliation the world could offer." spoke up.

These people had taken refuge in 's cave dwelling, which was how they'd narrowly escaped death — unlike their fellow disciples who had either fallen in battle or been slaughtered.

Which was why they didn't dare show any disrespect toward 's personal guards.

"Brother Xue, what exactly happened? Can you tell us in detail? Who exactly are Danqian Palace's enemies, and what's become of Danqian Palace now?" Shen Sanhuo asked.

didn't hold anything back. He laid out the situation in full. Apart from the things had instructed them not to reveal, the account he gave was extremely thorough.

The Danqian Palace disciples listened with shock, their faces growing paler by the moment.

Danqian Palace had been shattered! Aside from themselves, there were almost no survivors from the sect! Even the Palace Master, , had vanished without a trace.

It wasn't just Danqian Palace — the entire Myriad Phenomena Region had been torn apart. Sects large and small had all been attacked, virtually annihilated by the Red Cauldron Central Region.

In other words, every last one of them was now a homeless wandering soul, and they had no way of knowing whether their sect leaders were dead or alive.

A wave of boundless desolation surged through their hearts, and the faces of many showed a glimmer of despair.

The only thing they could count as fortunate was that they were still alive — a hundred times luckier than the fellow disciples who had perished.

After hearing such heavy news, Shen Sanhuo was silent for a long time.

No matter how strong one's mental fortitude, hearing such devastating news was hard to bear. The sect shattered, all the elders killed in battle, fellow disciples almost entirely gone, the Sect Master's fate unknown…

Put simply, they weren't rogue cultivators, but they might as well have been.

Moreover, the freedom that rogue cultivators enjoyed was something they might not even possess. The moment their enemies learned they were alive and had regained their freedom, their end would come.

It was Shen Sanhuo who was the first to break free from that atmosphere of despair. His gaze suddenly settled on 's face.

A flash of inspiration shot through Shen Sanhuo's mind.

That's right!

They didn't have nothing — at the very least, Danqian Palace still had !

When the Myriad Phenomena Grand Assembly was besieged and suppressed, had managed to escape.

When Danqian Palace was shattered and was surrounded upon returning, he had escaped once again.

When they were captured and sold into slavery, had traveled millions of miles, broken through countless checkpoints of the Indestructible Heavenly Capital, and freed them from the tragic fate of becoming servants and slaves!

Was such a fellow disciple not worthy of being relied upon?

With a flash of inspiration, Shen Sanhuo suddenly bowed and cupped his fists toward . "Senior Brother Jiang, with the sect in ruins, you are the only one here capable of taking charge. I, Shen Sanhuo, am willing to follow Senior Brother Jiang's command — to go wherever you lead. All I ask is that one day we may restore the sect and avenge our wrongs!"

Seeing Shen Sanhuo's gesture, the other disciples were momentarily taken aback. But they quickly came to their senses. At a time like this, if didn't take them under his protection, where else could they go?

Make a foothold in the Radiant King City? With just these people? Even Shen Sanhuo hadn't broken through to the Saint Realm — his cultivation was merely at the eighth level of the Origin Realm.

With such strength, their standing in the Radiant King City would be nothing more than third or fourth rate. Even if they sought to join another power, they would never be taken seriously.

After all, even within Danqian Palace, they hadn't been among the very top. Aside from Shen Sanhuo, the rest were merely second-rate among the sect's disciples.

As for the first-rate ones — some had died, some had fled. With the exception of , they had been virtually wiped out entirely.

Shen Sanhuo glanced at . ", what do you say?"

Among the others, held the highest status. And certainly wanted to follow — but he had once served under and had clashed with in the past, even fighting him once.

His situation was somewhat different from Shen Sanhuo's.

When Shen Sanhuo put the question to him, flushed with embarrassment. He looked at with some awkwardness — in truth, he had already yielded in his heart long ago.

After all, none of them were fools. Their lives had been saved by , and had long since reconciled with him. There was no point in continuing to play the villain for no reason.

In the current situation, did have any other choice?

With a bitter smile and a sigh, he bowed toward . "Senior Brother Jiang, I, , have given you much offense in the past. Only after enduring such tribulations have I come to realize Senior Brother Jiang's magnanimity. I, , submit to you. As long as Senior Brother Jiang doesn't look down on my limited abilities, I am willing to follow you and dedicate myself wholly to rebuilding the sect!"

"I too am willing to follow Senior Brother ." also stepped forward. had been the one who competed with for the Supreme District spot back in the day; his grandfather, , had been an elder of Danqian Palace's Herb Hall.

They all had some past grievances with .

But now, those old conflicts no longer mattered.
