At the peak of the mountain, Ling Xian stared at the three corpses and his eyes revealed some pity.
This was because he had forgotten something very important.
The Zhang Clan was merely a small force. The difference between them and the Deceitful Sword House was far too huge. However, the Sly Sword Sect had annihilated the Zhang Clan, and they had completely eradicated them.
This meant there was something strange going on.
It was very possible that the Zhang Clan had some sort of secret or acquired some sort of treasure.
Therefore, Ling Xian felt a little regretful. But very quickly, his regret disappeared.
The Deceitful Sword House only had three cultivators of the Dao Selection Stage. Now that they had all died, nobody could stop them.
In other words, if he wanted to, not only could he find out why the Deceitful Sword House destroyed the Zhang Clan, he could also take over the Zhang Clan.
Therefore, Ling Xian's regret turned into joy.
"I just arrived at the Black Tortoise Continent and I need a base. I might as well use the Deceitful Sword House as my base." Ling Xian grinned. He planned on taking control of the Deceitful Sword House to make things easier for him.
Then, he manipulated his Qi and made his voice echo throughout the House.
"Everyone of the Deceitful Sword House, listen up. From now on, I am the new leader of the Deceitful Sword House."
As soon as his voice trailed off, it echoed throughout the land.
This statement was not aggressive at all. But the meaning was clear and made everyone fall into a state of shock.
What did he mean by a new leader?
Did this mean the Supreme Headmaster was dead?
Everyone was furious and shocked. They all made their moves and headed towards the peak of the mountain.
After a few seconds, the elders of the original level arrived first. Without a word, they all displayed their techniques and headed towards Ling Xian.
Sadly, everyone's attacks automatically disappeared. They couldn't even get close to Ling Xian, let alone attack him.
This shocked many of the elders, and they were also a little fearful.
"Don't make a move yet. Let's see what happens first."
Ling Xian's expression was calm as he took a step to the left. Instantly, the three cultivators' corpses were exposed to everyone.
Instantly, the entire place was silenced. Then, it exploded.
"Oh my god, the Sect Leader and the two Supreme Elders were killed!"
"Unbelievable. They were all powerhouses of the fifth level. Who can kill them within thousands of miles?"
"It's over. The three pillars are dead. Our Sly Sword Sect is finished!"
Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were sad. But without exception, all of them revealed deep fear.
The strength of these three people had long been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts, especially in the eyes of the Sly Sword Sect's disciples, they were equivalent to invincible Perfected Immortals. Yet now, he was killed by Ling Xian. It was hard for them not to be terrified.
"Now, nobody is going to make a move." Ling Xian grinned. It was warm and bright.
However, in the eyes of the crowd, it was undoubtedly the smile of a devil.
Everyone felt like they had fallen into an icy hell as they stared at Ling Xian in fear. Many of them were already shaking.
They really wanted to make a move, but even the Original Infant Stage Elders didn't dare to, because that was no different from courting death.
"Very good. If you don't make a move, we can have a good talk."
"The reason why I killed the three of them was because there was enmity between me and them. As for the three of you, there was no enmity between us."
"So don't worry, I won't hurt you. Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't provoke me."
Ling Xian erased his smile and uttered out a cold statement.
"Now, I will give you a choice. Leave, or listen to me."
Hearing this, everyone, without exception, revealed a bitter look.
Ling Xian's words clearly conveyed one message – he wanted to control the Sly Sword House. In other words, the Sly Sword House had changed owners.
Though they didn't want to accept it, that was the reality. They could only choose.
Most people wanted to leave. After all, Ling Xian was their enemy. However, they didn't dare to. Thus, they fell into silence.
Ling Xian was well aware of this.
Thus, he grinned, "Don't worry. Whoever wants to leave, I will not stop you. I will not purposely make things difficult for you."
"Are you serious?" A young man spoke.
"You can try. Let's see if I will stop you." Ling Xian spoke softly. He merely wanted a place to stay, he didn't want to create a House.
Therefore, even if everyone leaves, it's fine.
"Alright!"
The young man gritted his teeth and left.
At this, everyone stared at him. It was obvious that they wanted to see if he would suddenly explode.
Even after the young man disappeared, Ling Xian didn't make a move.
This made everyone sigh in relief. Then, people began to leave one by one. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people had left. Only a few dozen people stayed where they were.
They didn't have deep feelings for the deceased Supreme Headmaster. Their capabilities were weak and they had nowhere to go. Therefore, they didn't want to go.
After all, Ling Xian didn't seem like a bad person when he allowed those people to leave. Rather than being homeless, they might as well stay.
"It looks like you don't want to leave."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I think this will be the wisest decision you'll make in your entire life."
"I believe that."
A middle-aged man put on a flattering smile and said, "To be able to follow a powerhouse like Young Lord is definitely my honor."
"You sure know how to talk."
Ling Xian laughed. Seeing that the man was of the third level, he was the strongest out of everyone who stayed. Therefore, he said, "From now on, you are the Head Elder and you will be responsible for everything inside the House."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man froze. Then, his body began to shake uncontrollably.
The Head Elder!
That was a position that was below one and above tens of thousands. Even though there were only a few dozen people left in the House, the resources and the land were still there.
Therefore, why wouldn't the middle-aged man be excited?
He quickly expressed his loyalty, "Do not worry, I will do my best until my death!"
"You are exaggerating. You just need to take care of everything inside the House."
Ling Xian brandished his hand, "First, bury these three. Then, organize the House's treasury and give me the inventory."
"Yes, Master."
The middle-aged man responded and walked towards the three corpses to bury them.
Seeing this, Ling Xian suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait a minute."
"What is it?" The middle-aged man was startled.
"I suddenly remembered their storage pouches." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He flapped around his sleeve and the three storage pouches flew into his hand.
As the strongest powerhouse of the House, they must be wealthy. Plus, inside these pouches was the reason why the Zhang Clan was destroyed.
"Okay, you can clean them up."
Ling Xian waved his hand. Then, he walked into the palace and opened up the two elders' storage pouches.
Instantly, the palace was filled with light. It was obvious that there were many valuable treasures inside.
However, this did not pique Ling Xian's interest.
Even though the treasures inside were not bad, to him, they were nothing.
"I hope this person's storage pouch can surprise me."
Looking at the Supreme Headmaster's gold storage pouch, Ling Xian's eyes flickered with anticipation. Then, he used his Qi to destroy the imprint on it.
In the next second, heavenly light erupted and blinded everyone.
Sadly, there were still some treasures that Ling Xian did not care for.
However, just as he was about to be disappointed, he saw a sheepskin scroll.
