As dusk fell and the setting sun bleeds like blood, the young man with frosty hair picked up his brush and began to write inscriptions on the two tombstones standing on the ground.

"Tomb of the Trinity Sages".

"The Tomb of Jiang Mo of the Third Party".

Chapter 229 Retracing the Path

The next day.

As frost danced in the air, Jiang Mo, who had been waiting for twelve hours, spoke gently to his disciples who were awakening one after another: "How was it? Did it go smoothly?"

"This disciple has limited talent and could not achieve it overnight. He still needs to put in more effort and study carefully in order to understand the essence of these chapters."

Chengzhen, who had the highest cultivation level, said this. He barely managed to step in with one foot, but he was still far from reaching the second level of the initial test of true techniques.

"It's alright, there's plenty of time in the future."

Jiang Mo turned to look at Zhuge Yu, Lu Jin, and Shui Yun, signaling them to report on the progress.

"Uncle-Master, I am ashamed. I do not know where to begin and can only memorize these methods."

Lu Jin also failed, as did Shui Yun and Zhuge Yu.

"That's all."

"Make a note of these first, and I will teach you by example when you break through the triple reversal of life in the future."

As Jiang Mo walked out of the deserted temple, he noticed that the silver-gray crystal tied to his wrist still had nearly half of its luster remaining, indicating that the 'Fate Reversal' would dissipate in a day and a half.

As he prepared to set off for the Central Plains, his brows furrowed, and he remembered something. Suddenly, he murmured, "Come here, let me disguise you."

Is there anything we need to avoid?

Chengzhen was surprised. He had a premonition that he had no chance of surviving the ambush two years ago, and that there were probably only some junior brothers left in the sect to hold on.

"Correct."

With his Qi in hand, Jiang Mo stroked Cheng Zhen's handsome face. He suddenly unleashed his true magic, causing his bones to undulate and his flesh to writhe, changing his appearance. Even his jet-black hair became longer and grayish-white.

"Minimize the impact on them; our presence is real for the people of this world."

“Especially you, Chengzhen, you should be considered a ghost in this timeline. If you were to appear in the world in your true form and be seen by the little guys inside the gate, it might leave an obsession in their hearts.”

After a few breaths, Chengzhen's appearance underwent a dramatic change. He transformed from a gentle and refined young man into a middle-aged man who had experienced many hardships. His white robes turned into simple clothes, and his long gray and white hair was tied up high at the back of his head, making him look like a great hero from ancient times.

Listening to her master's instructions, Chengzhen's eyes showed a hint of emotion, and she murmured softly:

"Is that so...? That's fine too."

"Uncle-Master, this isn't a disguise technique; Senior Brother has truly transformed his appearance."

Zhuge Yu was repeatedly amazed.

"Of course, my master's cultivation is far above yours and mine, so doing this is a piece of cake for him."

Shuiyun approached Chengzhen closely and examined him repeatedly, but indeed could not find any flaws.

"Come here, Jin'er."

Jiang Mo beckoned, helping to modify Lu Jin's face to make him even more dashing and imposing, with eyes like sharp swords.

"Uncle-Master, I want to be older."

"As you wish, you brat."

Jiang Mo smiled at Zhuge Yu's request, changed his appearance, and then patted his head.

Shuiyun didn't care. He wanted the appearance of a warrior, with a thick beard and a burly physique covered with many scars.

In an instant, the true faces of the four were all concealed. Jiang Mo was transformed into a frail, ragged old man, whose voice was also incredibly aged.

"Come on, children, let's go stroll around the inn, then come back inside..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and controlled the Qi, and a silver light shot into the sky, as if ascending to heaven, heading straight into the vast sea of ​​clouds, taking the four of them south to the Central Plains.

.......

As dusk fell, the sky was ablaze with fiery clouds, and the setting sun cast the shadows of the five people across the street to the end of the street. They stepped into the small inn.

"Hey buddy, where's your manager?" Jiang Mo asked the waiter, leaning on his cane.

"Oh! Sir, what bad luck! The shopkeeper is out. What can I do for you?"

"Come, gentlemen, please have a seat and rest. I'll serve you some tea."

The diligent waiter, quick and efficient, soon prepared bowls, chopsticks, and tea, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Let me hear, how's the Trinity Gate doing lately?"

Jiang Mo's aged face remained expressionless as he took out a piece of gold from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Please wait a moment... I'll go ask."

The waiter smiled obsequiously, his right hand swiftly sweeping over the gold coin before he enthusiastically poured tea for everyone.

moment.

The waiter brought the news. He stood aside and whispered, "The San Yi Sect... is in deep trouble with the Quanxing Sect."

"Half a month ago, the demon Wugensheng and the evil child Li Muxuan broke into the mountain, causing the death of the Left Sect Master. It is said that his profound skills were broken by the gods, and he died with resentment."

"Sigh... Later, Master Kuangya and Master Weixuanzi from their sect went down the mountain to seek revenge, but they were brutally murdered. When they were sent back, their bodies were incomplete; it was a terrible sight..."

Jiang Mo ignored it; for him, this was something he had expected. The other four disciples also remained silent, not interrupting the waiter.

"Recently, all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect have gone down the mountain to hunt down the Quanxing heretic. They have refused help from any sect or faction in the martial arts world, and because of this, many disciples have died..."

"Sigh... Gentlemen, if you want to help, I think we should just let it go. There are some things that the disciples of the Sanyi Sect don't want us to get involved in. They must have their reasons."

"Okay, let's go down."

Jiang Mo said calmly, and the waiter nodded repeatedly and left immediately.

"Go back and take a look?" Lu Jin felt uneasy, her brows furrowed.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo embarked on another journey, leaving with four people before disappearing in an instant.

night.

The atmosphere at Sanyi Gate was somber, with occasional cries of mourning. Only a few elderly people and young disciples remained inside. The once bustling Taoist temple now showed signs of decay, and as far as the eye could see, there was only darkness.

There were even more graves on the back hill. Jiang Mo arrived quietly and looked at the graves of his senior brother Zuo, as well as the graves of Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and ten other disciples.

"Let's light some incense."

The four disciples, their hearts filled with bitterness, kowtowed before the tomb, their eyes moist.

Jiang Mo listened to the commotion inside the sect and learned from the conversation of several elders that there were now less than twenty people left in the sect. Apart from them, the other second-level disciples had received an invitation from the demon to go to Longhu Mountain to settle their grudges.

a long time.

After the four disciples finished their greetings, Jiang Mo led them on their way again. A silver light pierced the night as they sped towards Longhu Mountain.

.......

The five people, concealing their aura, hid on a rock wall and watched the fierce battle in the valley below. The famous sects all over the mountain guarded both sides of the canyon, forming an encirclement, and witnessed this historic scene.

The twelve disciples at the second level of the Reverse Life Realm are risking their lives and dignity in a fierce battle with Wugensheng.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

As one junior brother after another was defeated, Shuiyun felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. Her fists clenched, and she said anxiously:

"Uncle-Master...I...want to help them...."

"Watch."

Jiang Mo didn't care. He had enough patience to watch this farce come to an end. Even if the disciples in the valley were seriously injured or died, as long as he was here, those people would not die.

"Senior brother, don't worry."

Zhuge Yu offered words of comfort, noticing that many members of various sects in the valley were sworn brothers of the Thirty-Six Thieves. He said coldly:

"Keep calm, and you might be able to see things more clearly. If you act rashly, you'll alert the enemy."

Even when he witnessed another version of himself being brutally attacked by Wugensheng, he remained restrained and did not act rashly.

Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen both had cold glints in their eyes, suppressing their killing intent, afraid of attracting the attention of others. Even though to them it was just a dream that existed in the past, they could not remain indifferent.

My uncle doesn't care.

They care!

They are not Jiang Mo. If they feel reluctant, they have a reason to act. They are simply waiting for a more suitable opportunity.

The fierce battle below was nearing its end. Exhausted and wounded, Wugensheng stood tall, looking down at the crowd with arrogance, and declared:

"Come on... continue, Trinity."

"Rootless!"

In this world, Lu Jin, with a fierce glare, walked forward carrying a blood-stained dagger. Suddenly, he lunged forward, intending to kill Wu Gensheng on the spot.

"boom!"

The soil cracked, and a swift figure suddenly struck Lu Jin's wrist with a palm strike at a tricky angle, snatching the short knife, followed by a sweeping whip kick that struck his face.

"clatter!"

Lu Jin staggered backward, his blood surging, his face full of resentment. He was so close to succeeding, but was stopped by someone, making him so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"Swallow flitting through the forest, Yin Chengfeng!!"

"Damn it, is it him? His method of concealment... no wonder..."

"No... He just walked right over like that... Are there any other Quanxing demons nearby?"

Amidst gasps of surprise from onlookers, the identity of the newcomer was revealed.

The two in the valley had been talking for a short while when the commotion soon returned. From the distant valley, a dense swarm of demons approached, each panting heavily, as if they were on a surprise attack from a thousand miles away.

"It's...them?"

Lu Jin, who was hiding in Jiang Mo's blind spot, had some recollection of this group of demons, who were from the Da Wang Mountain area.

“Dumb Meteor... Old Demon Pi…” Chengzhen looked at the two who had surrounded and killed him back then, feeling a pang of emotion.

"Are you all here?"

Zhuge Yu assessed the situation on the scene. It seemed that a battle between good and evil was about to break out. On the contrary, based on the fearful reactions of the onlookers, he was even more convinced that this was just a farce and that a fight might not actually happen.

Sure enough, what happened next confirmed his guess.

After exchanging a few words with that witch, Wu Gensheng, with his silver tongue, persuaded many demons to follow his arrangements and make peace with the righteous sects.

"Negotiations? Have you lost your mind?! What right do you, a heretic, have to negotiate with us?"

The eccentric observer on the sidelines let out a sneer, only to be immediately met with a rebuttal from Wugensheng:

"Just listen to me, why all this nonsense?"

Next, he spoke with the disciples of the Sanyi Sect, first clarifying the relationship between the Quanxing Sect and other sects, and insisting that outsiders should not interfere, while insisting on fighting among themselves.

Soon, with Li Muxuan as a condition, the two sides reached an agreement. The numerous demons knelt down and obeyed Wugensheng's order as the sect leader, who commanded them to strictly abide by the agreement and not to attack the members of the Sanyi Sect.

During this time, facing questions from onlookers all over the mountain, he argued vehemently, leaving everyone speechless.

The leaders of each faction looked grim and hesitated. In the end, Shuiyun, who led the Sanyi Sect, broke the deadlock. He raised his voice and asked the seniors present to grant his request.

The leaders of various factions nodded one after another, and the farce was about to come to an end. Wu Gensheng was injured and did not want to stay any longer. He was about to leave when he was stopped by Lu Jin from this world.

"Wait!"

"Since the agreement has been made and no one else can interfere, let's continue!"

".....good."

Ignoring Jin Feng's advice, Wu Gensheng, feeling emboldened, stepped forward and easily dispelled Lu Jin's double attack with his divine spirit.

"Do you really want me to expose all the secrets of your Trinity Sect in front of everyone?"

Wugensheng appeared indifferent, but seeing the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the Sanyi Sect disciples, he wisely restrained himself and said:
