Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

  Tiger's eyes were filled with tears, and Wu Da Tou choked back a sob as he begged: "Madam..."

  "Don't say any more. General Wu, you must remember the responsibility on your shoulders!" Madam Shu's face was as cold as ice, indifferent and emotionless.

  "Master Shu Da... Master Shu Er..." Wu Da Tou knelt on the ground, his body trembling, begging to Shu Da and Shu Er.

  Shu Da and Shu Er were pale with fright, completely flustered. Suddenly seeing Wu Dalang's head bowed down, they immediately hid behind Madame Shu.

  "Mother, mother dear..." They each held onto one of Madame Shu's arms tightly, as if they had found a sense of security.

  Mrs. Shu hastily comforted them, embracing all of them in her arms, and secretly rejoiced while also complaining: Why haven't those four demon-suppressing masters arrived yet? Is it so troublesome to kill a small Chu Yun? With them present, the three of us mother and son would be much safer.

  "Alas, the situation in the Starry Island Group is going to change." With a shake of his head and a sigh in his heart, Bai Mei Dan Shi took in the sudden turn of events before him.

  "Mrs. Shu is indeed a woman of the gentry, unable to see the significance of Shu Tianhao to Shu Island. Now if we were to rise up and rescue him, it might not be too late. Shu Tianhao is the pillar that holds up the soul of Shu Island; with the death of Zuxing, Shu Island would lose half its territory."

  "Shu Tianhao's two sons are incompetent and unable to bear the weight of responsibility. Now that he is dead, there is no one to succeed him. The Shu family islands are without a leader, and Madame Shu will have to invite the Ning family's troops to help defend them. Hmph, from now on, the Shu family islands will likely become a subsidiary island of the Ning family!"

  Bai Mei Dan Shi's chest has hills and valleys, for all developments, clear as observing fire. Already predicting the direction of future trends.

  "The Ning family was originally the richest and most powerful force in the Star Group Islands. After swallowing the Shu family island, they also had the bravery of the Shu family army, and it's likely that they will become the strongest force in the Star Group Islands."

  "Mrs. Shu intends to defend Shu Island to the death, which is also doing her part. After all, she's just an ordinary person with a shallow perspective. Moreover, the opponent is a pirate named Cang Lang, who has supposedly reached 136 years of cultivation. Without powerful demons or beasts to rescue them, going there would be almost suicidal! Alas, it's a pity for Shu Tianhao's efforts in supporting and persisting on Shu Island all these years!"

  Bai Mei Dan Shi sighed.

  It's just a sigh, and it's impossible for him to take action.

  Tiangong Academy has been neutral since its establishment and has never wavered. The struggles of the various star islands have never been interfered with.

  "It seems that Shu Tianhao's death is already a foregone conclusion. The change of ownership of Shujia Island is also almost certain. The balance of the Zhuxing Archipelago has been disrupted, and I must inform the Master..."

  With a determined thought in his mind, Bai Mei Dan Sheng suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the field was unusual.

  "Chu, Chu Yun, how did you end up here..." Madame Shu's face turned deathly pale, like white paper. She stared at the doorway in shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

  "The Earth Altar's Royal Sorcerer also shouted: 'Chu Yun, young master! You've finally arrived, and you're not late. With this assessment, you'll be the first to receive the Coming of Age Gift and enroll in the Tian Ge Shu Yuan Academy. And this gentleman here is a teacher from the Tian Ge Shu Yuan Academy, the renowned Bai Mei Dan Shi!"

  Bai Mei Dan Sheng turned around and saw a man and a fox walking towards him.

  He suddenly felt a flash of light before his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "This young man..."

  Chu Yun today wore a white robe, simple clothes, but couldn't hide his handsome temperament. Due to the transformation of the Tian Hu Ling Qi, he now had red lips and white teeth, with eyes as black as stars, his body straight and emitting an air of heroism. Even someone like Bai Mei Dan Shi found it hard to forget him.

  The bad impression he had of Chu Yun earlier was immediately dispelled by three points. Bai Mei Dan Sheng was expecting Chu Yun to greet him, but found that Chu Yun didn't even give him a glance and walked straight past his side.

  "Huh?" He was taken aback. As a teacher of the Tian Ge Academy, which young adult at the coming-of-age ceremony didn't show him great respect? He had never seen such an arrogant young person before!

  At this moment, his good impression of Chu Yun decreased by two points.

  "Master Chu Yun..." Wu Da Tou's eyes welled up with tears, and he also sensed Chu Yun's arrival.

  Chu Yun's face was expressionless as he ignored the words of the demonic cultivator on the altar. He walked up to Wu Da's body and suddenly lifted his right foot, kicking it violently!

  Plop.

  Wu Da Tou was caught off guard and kicked to the ground. Dazed!

  Not just him, but everyone else present was stunned as well.

  "Wu Da Tou, you idiot! How long are you going to kneel?!" Chu Yun shouted, "Get up for your old man!"

  "Yes, yes." Wu Da Tou's face was a picture of confusion as he subconsciously stood up from the ground.

  "Your old man owes you a life, now he's at death's door, and you're still lingering around here? What the hell are you doing?! Get out and gather troops, follow me to rescue him!"

  Chu Yun's words were like a thunderbolt, and in one speech, he stunned everyone into silence.

  "Chu... Chu Yun young master..." Wu Da Tou's face was filled with incredulity.

  "Chu Yun, you little fool, absolutely not! The other party is one of the three great pirates, the notorious残 wolf! He has the powerful demon, Huǒ Huàn Yě Láng Shòu! Even the island master can't defeat him, if you go to rescue people, it's just sending yourself to death!" The Earth Altar Demon Master hurriedly advised.

  "Shut up!!" Chu Yun, who was usually polite and courteous, suddenly revealed his sharp edge. With a single glance, he made the Earth Temple's Royal Demon Master stop speaking involuntarily.

  "My foster father's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and his grace is like rebirth. Now he is in prison, in danger of death, and I, as a human being, if I see him die without rescuing him, would be no better than a beast!"

  Chu Yun said to this point, his eyes were already red and swollen, with tears in his tiger-like eyes, and his body was slightly trembling. At this moment, there was a kind of aura on his body, which was upright and dazzling, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.

  The earth altar's master tried to speak several times, but he just couldn't get any words out.

  "Master Chu Yun!" Wu Da Tou's face was streaming with tears and his face was bright red. His voice was trembling, he was so excited that he choked!

  What is the strong wind that knows the sturdy grass? The national chaos reveals the loyal minister.

  The island owner is in crisis, and there is only one person who stands up.

  That is his adopted son - Chu Yun!

  "No, Chuyun, you go and die if you want, I don't care. But don't confuse General Wu, without the garrison, how can we protect Shu Family Island!" Madam Shu cried out in a shrill voice.

  Shu Da also said: "General Wu, before Father left, he entrusted you to guard the city, this is a military order! You cannot disobey military orders!"

  "Chu Yun, you must prioritize the bigger picture."

  "Go to your mother's big house." Chu Yun gave a cold glance, and Shu Er trembled all over, feeling a chill run down his spine, unable to speak.

  "What are you still doing here? Don't you hurry up and get out to do your job?" Chu Yun glared at Wu Da Tou, scolding him without any politeness.

  "Yes, yes." Wu Da Tou was scolded and cursed, but he was extremely delighted in his heart. He quickly ran out of the arena.

  Mrs. Shu wanted to stop him, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back down.

  "Fine, let Chu Yun and Wu Da Tou go to their deaths. Even if pirates come to attack the island, my mother and I can hide in the forest and hold out until the Ning family's troops arrive. Let these two fools go to their deaths."

  Watching Chuyun's departing back, Shu Furen's mouth corners revealed a hint of a gloomy smile.

  "Wait a minute, young man." Bai Mei Dan Shifu suddenly spoke up, stopping Chu Yun.

  Mrs. Shu and her two children suddenly felt a tightening in their hearts.

  "Ah, young man, I admire your bravery. However, relying solely on bravery sometimes can't solve problems. I've also heard rumors that you were first in the rankings twice. As long as you participate in the third assessment, entering Tian Ge Shu Yuan will be a certainty. Rather than going to die now, it's better to preserve your useful life and take revenge on Shu Tian Hao in the future."

  "Bai Mei Dan Sheng's words are reasonable, Chu Yun, don't be reckless with your life!" Di Tan Yu Yao Shi hastily agreed. He really didn't want to see a young man with great prospects throw away his own life!

  Chu Yun stopped in her tracks and turned sideways to look at Bai Mei Dan Shifu.

  Mrs. Shu and her two children were so tense that they could hardly breathe. It was as if they were listening to Chu Yun's verdict.

  "You're an outsider, what do you know? Compared to my old man, the Tian Ge Academy... Hmph." With a faint glance at Bai Mei Dan Shi, Chu Yun suddenly turned around. A flash of memories from past and present flooded his mind, surging up in his heart.

  Pain, regret, remorse...... Now that I've come back once more, how can I still take the old path?

  After a faint smile, Chu Yun left with one sentence and stepped forward: "Tian Ge Shu Yuan, what does it count for at this time!"

  The Tiān Gē Shū Yuàn had a huge impact on his great plan. However, compared to the safety of his sworn father, Shū Tiān Hào, everything else was insignificant.

  Chu Yun was reborn with a sense of regret, and this life is to make up for the regrets. Not entering Tian Ge Academy in her previous life was a regret, but the death of her adoptive father was an even greater regret.

  Tian Ge Shu Yuan, even if I don't enter, at most it's just a slowdown in development by one level. However, watching my adoptive father die, for the rest of my life, will be filled with regret.

  The Tian Ge Academy of the Starry Sky Islands... isn't even worth mentioning.

  "What a big nerve!" "Ignorant young man, how arrogant! How arrogant!" The three members of the Shu family, both shocked and delighted, let out a barrage of curses.

  The Earth Altar's Royal Sorcerer was stunned on the spot.

  Bai Mei Dan Shi himself was the party involved, and his expression was also slightly stagnant. He had a high level of self-cultivation, so he naturally wouldn't feel angry due to the words spoken by a 13-year-old boy in excitement.

  He gazed at Chu Yun's receding back, the slender shoulders of a 13-year-old boy now seeming to bear the weight of a mountain!

  Firm and unwavering footsteps. And also, the mutated little monster that follows closely behind the young man's back. How tiny it is! However, this scene makes Bai Mei Dan Shifu's eyes shine brighter and brighter.

  Tian Ge Shu Yuan gathered the most outstanding young geniuses from all over the Star Group Islands. What kind of young hero had Bai Mei Dan Shi not seen before? However, after so many years, he still felt a sudden gleam in his eyes and excitement in his heart for the first time.

  "Courage, fearless courage! This young man is interesting, very interesting..."

  As soon as he stepped out of the arena, a gloomy sea breeze hit him in the face. Chu Yun looked up at the horizon and saw that the sky was piled with thick clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled within the clouds. It seemed to be brewing a stormy rain.

  Chu Yun furrowed her brow, and the sky didn't look good either. If a thunderstorm were to pour down, what rescue could they talk about?

  Moreover, according to the urgent military message that has been transmitted, a considerable amount of time has already passed. It's possible that it's already too late, and rushing to provide rescue efforts will likely result in facing Father's corpse.

  However, whether the rescue is successful or not is one thing, and whether to go for the rescue or not is another matter.

  When he arrived at the Earth Altar, he unexpectedly heard Wu Da Tou's military report. From that moment on, Chu Yun had already thrown away all thoughts of Tian Ge Shu Yuan in his mind. The only thought left was to go and rescue Shu Tian Hao.

  This determination cannot be shaken. Even if the sky collapses and the earth sinks, it will not be affected.

  The decision has been made.

  Even if heaven is against us, even if the enemy's forces are strong, even if rescue is hopeless, nothing can stop Chu Yun's footsteps.

  I will go forward alone, even if a thousand people are against me!

  At 8:30, Wu Dalang led a team of 88 soldiers and joined forces with Chu Yun.

  "Master Chu Yun..." Wu Da Tou's face was filled with guilt and shame. There were over a hundred soldiers in the city of Shu, but only this many had followed him.

  Chu Yun's face was cold and indifferent, she only said: "Follow me."
