Longhu Mountain, Northern Region.
Longhu City was a little quiet today. Everyone had their heads lowered and wore a sorrowful expression. They had changed into black clothes and were heading towards the back of the mountain.
An endless stream of people came from all directions of the Northern Region. Everyone was like a passerby.
There was a huge crowd on the main street. However, they all had a tacit understanding and did not make a single sound.
"Mother, where are we going?" A little girl who was about five or six years old held her mother's hand, raised her head, and asked in confusion.
The little girl's mother had a calm expression on her face. She stopped in her tracks after hearing the little girl's words.
The little girl raised her head and looked at her mother in confusion. Her big, watery eyes were filled with confusion.
A moment later, the little girl's mother said calmly, "We're going to send your father, your uncle, and your grandfather off."
Her husband, uncle, and grandfather had all joined the Longhu Squad.
She had received the news of their deaths, but she was not sad.
She knew that if it weren't for them, she wouldn't be able to walk on the street with her daughter safe and sound.
The people on the main street continued to walk. Meanwhile, the few remaining disciples in the Longhu Sect had also started to head towards the back of the mountain.
Long Chenfeng, Xiao Yin, Hu Heixin, and the others had all gathered in the main hall.
"A day has passed." Hu Heixin walked out of the main hall and looked up at the dark sky.
It had been a day since the Assassination Guild had been destroyed.
That night, they had the most peaceful sleep they had had in decades.
"Is Lord Lin Yun still resting?" asked Long Chenfeng as he turned to look at Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin nodded and replied, "He said that it's time, so I'll go and get him."
"Then let's go. It's time." Long Chenfeng turned around and led the group out, side by side with Xiao Yin.
Not long after, Long Chenfeng and the others arrived at Lin Yun's residence and saw Zhang Wei standing guard outside.
"Greetings, my lords." Zhang Wei bowed to Long Chenfeng and the others.
Long Chenfeng nodded. "Please inform Lord Lin Yun that it's time."
Zhang Wei turned around and knocked on the door gently. "Master, it's time."
After a long time, Lin Yun's calm voice was heard from inside the house. "I understand."
Following the voice, Lin Yun pushed open the door.
Everyone simultaneously bowed to Lin Yun. Then, Lin Yun walked in front of everyone and led them towards the back of the mountain.
All the small peaks in the back of the mountain had been razed to the ground, forming a spacious plain.
The back of the mountain was crowded with hundreds of thousands of people. Some of them were residents of Longhu City, some were survivors who had participated in the battle, and some were representatives of various sects in the Northern Region.
At this moment, they were all dressed in the same black clothes. They were motionless as they looked ahead.
In front of them were countless tombstones stuck into the ground.
Each of the tombstones represented the victims of the battle.
Almost every tombstone had the corpse of a warrior buried under it.
However, there were millions of corpses that had already turned into ashes. Some of the tombstones only had the word 'warrior' on them.
This place was originally the graveyard of the Longhu Sect's victims.
However, according to Long Chenfeng's suggestion, all the victims of the battle should be buried here.
"It's raining …" A drop of rain landed on a man's face. He raised his head and saw that it was already drizzling.
"Maybe even the Heavens are crying." Another man sighed. After all, their friends, relatives, and comrades were buried here.
"Lord Lin Yun and the others are here." Not long after, Lin Yun and the others appeared at the entrance of the back of the mountain.
Everyone consciously made way for them and bowed at a ninety-degree angle toward Lin Yun and the others.
Lin Yun and the others walked to the front of the crowd. Following this, Lin Yun, Xiao Yin, and Long Chenfeng continued toward the tombstones.
Everyone straightened their backs and focused their attention on the three people in front of them.
"We can start now." Lin Yun looked at the tombstone in front of them. It was the tombstone of Long Woo-seok.
Lin Yun knew that there were no corpses under the tombstones, only the clothes of Long Woo-seok when he was alive.
In his previous life, he had seen through life and death, but now that he saw the tombstones of so many of his comrades, he could not help but feel sorrowful.
He should thank these people who had sacrificed themselves to survive the pursuit of the Assassination Society until he returned.
If not for them, Xiao Yin and the others would probably be lying under these tombstones now.
Long Chenfeng nodded and turned to look at the crowd.
The rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the ground with a loud clatter.
Water splashed in all directions and the visibility was getting worse.
Long Chenfeng took a deep breath and said, "Today, we have come here with extremely heavy hearts."
"For Sect Master Long who sacrificed himself in this battle! For our brothers of the Northern Region who sacrificed themselves in this battle! We have held this funeral. "
"We have paid a heavy price in this battle and ended the long decades of battle with the Assassination Society."
"Because of this group of heroes who have passed away, we can stand here today."
"These heroes have never left. They will live on in our hearts forever. "
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, praying in their hearts that these heroes who had passed away would find their final resting place in heaven.
After a long time, everyone raised their heads again and looked at Long Chenfeng.
Because last night, Long Chenfeng had informed the entire Northern Region that there would be an important announcement at today's funeral.
"Although we feel extremely regretful for Sect Master Long's passing, we still feel extremely regretful."
"But a group of dragons cannot be without a leader."
"Before Sect Master Long passed away, he had informed me of the next Sect Master of the Longhu Sect, the successor of the next ruler of the Northern Region." Long Chenfeng took out a letter. This letter was given to him by Long Woo-seok before he died.
Everyone held their breaths. After all, they knew the importance of the ruler of the Northern Region and the importance of the Longhu Sect in the Northern Region.
"Sect Master Long has stated in the letter that I, Long Chenfeng, will inherit the position of Sect Master of the Longhu Sect, while Sect Master Xiao of the Tianxuan Sect will inherit the position of ruler of the Northern Region!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Long Chenfeng had always been the second in command of the Longhu Mountain, while Xiao Yin's strength was second only to Long Woo-seok.
If the two of them were to inherit the positions, they would feel relieved.
"However!" Long Chenfeng opened the letter in his hand so that everyone could see it clearly, then said coldly, "If Master Lin Yun returns safely, these two positions will be inherited by Master Lin Yun!"
