The City of the Sun, the Yun Clan's Mansion.
The Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding down warm and bright light that coated this grand mansion with a layer of gold.
Before the mansion, stood two sturdy men in black. Though the Qi they were exuding was not powerful, the arrogance on their faces made them look like completion leveled cultivators who were high above everyone else.
This was normal. Ever since the Yun Clan swallowed the other three Clans, the entire City of the Sun became the only Clan. In other words, in the City of the Sun, the Yun Clan was the God that ruled over everything and looked down on the entire city.
Therefore, everyone in the Yun Clan became arrogant. Even the two lowly guards had an arrogant expression on their faces.
Currently, the two of them were leaning against the stone lions and chatting about the rumors they heard recently.
"I heard that two days ago, the Eldest Lady and the Second Lady suddenly came back with a large group of people." One of the men said mysteriously, "Every single one of them was injured. I wonder where they came from."
"Shhh!"
The other man gestured for him to keep quiet and shouted, "Do you want to die? Didn't you hear the rumor from two days ago? "
"What rumor? Is there a need for you to be so nervous? "The burly man revealed a puzzled expression.
"What do you know!"
The sturdy man shouted and glanced left and right. Seeing that no one was around, he sighed in relief and patted his chest, "I heard that 20 days ago, Shi Ao Island changed. The Xuan Yin House and the Ling Jian House allied and destroyed the House of Zi Yang. "
"What?"
The burly man cried out in alarm. He vaguely realized the origins of this group of people. He immediately covered his mouth as cold sweat dripped down his back.
The House of Zi Yang was destroyed, the Eldest Lady suddenly returned, and a group of wounded cultivators.
If the sturdy man still didn't realize what was going on, then he would be an idiot.
"Now you know why I didn't want you to talk about it," the other man said slowly.
"I know, I know." The sturdy man nodded and didn't dare to talk about it anymore.
"Remember, this is not something we can discuss. If word of this gets out, the family head will definitely not let us off." The man's expression was solemn.
The burly man nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry. I'll keep this matter to myself. I won't tell anyone else."
As the two of them continued to chat, a young man in a white robe slowly walked over from afar and quickly arrived before the two of them.
This person had delicate features, and his face was like a crown of jade. The temperament that he naturally emitted was even more elegant and otherworldly.
On his back was a black coffin that gave off a cold aura.
It was Ling Xian.
After parting ways with the Core Formation seniors, he flew in the direction of the Yun Clan. However, after running for a while, the injuries in his body could no longer be suppressed, so he randomly found a cave to recuperate.
It took him a full 20 days to recover from his injuries, and then he used two days to arrive at Yang City.
"We're finally here …"
Staring at the grand mansion before him, Ling Xian grinned and marched towards the door. However, he had just taken a step forward when he was stopped by the two men.
"Stop, who are you?" A man shouted.
Ling Xian glared at the two of them. Seeing their arrogant expressions, he couldn't help but frown, "You have no right to know who I am. Get out of my way."
"Ayo."
The man in black shrieked and snickered, "I have no right to know? Who do you think you are? You don't even tell me your name and you want to enter the Yun Clan? You think the Yun Clan is a place you can enter? "
"Since when did the servants of the Yun Clan become so arrogant." Ling Xian frowned. He felt too lazy to argue with these two. Lifting his feet, he walked up the stairs before the door.
Seeing how Ling Xian didn't think anything of him, the man in black's eyes turned cold. He was merely a guard and had no status in the Yun Clan. However, ever since the Yun Clan took over the City of Yang, his status rose with them.
Everyone who came to him with gifts treated him with respect and often slipped him spiritual stones. As time went by, this man developed an arrogant personality and felt like every cultivator who came to visit had to give him some benefits.
Yet before his eyes, not only did Ling Xian not give him any benefits, but he also ignored his words and walked up the stairs. This naturally made him angry.
"You sure do not know how high the sky is. You are seeking death." The man in black snickered. Then, he raised his palm and slammed towards Ling Xian.
However, just as he swung his hand, a hand landed on his face.
Pia!
After a crisp noise, the man in black was flung backward and landed on the ground along with his two front teeth.
The person who attacked was not Ling Xian, it was Yun Jing Lei, Yun Yan's father.
Right now, Yun Jing Lei's face was full of anger. Staring at the man in black who was flung away, his expression was dark to the extreme and he was terrified to the extreme.
He didn't think that just as he was about to go out for business, he would run into Ling Xian, the person he respected and feared. He also didn't think that the moment he stepped out of the door, he would witness a scene that made his hair stand on end.
A guard actually dared to attack Young Master Ling?!
What the f * ck!
Yun Jing Lei cursed silently. You damned bastard, why did you have to pick Master Ling when your opponent wasn't good? Oh my god, do you know who he is?!
Yun Jing Lei wanted to cry but no tears came out. He felt like the world was spinning around him and the sky was falling down. He was terrified that Ling Xian would blame him and the entire Yun Clan!
Remember that the Yun Clan's glory today was all thanks to Ling Xian!
In other words, without Ling Xian, the Yun Clan would've been gone a long time ago. If Ling Xian didn't kill the ancestors of the Chen, Chu, and Li Clans, how could the Yun Clan swallow the other three Clans and achieve the glory they have today?
Therefore, not only did the Yun Clan feel grateful towards Ling Xian, they also feared him.
This was why when Yun Jing Lei saw that his own servant dared to attack Ling Xian, he was so terrified.
"Ma … Leader."
The man in black covered his swollen right cheek and stared blankly at the furious Yun Jing Lei. He did not understand why the clan leader was so angry.
The other man was also stunned. He glanced at Yun Jing Lei and then at the calm Ling Xian. He seemed to have realized something.
"Dammit, I am going to kill you, you idiot!"
Seeing this person's confused expression, Yun Jing Lei's anger intensified. He marched towards the sturdy man, planning to slap him to death to avenge Ling Xian.
However, just as he was about to step forward, a calm voice arose.
"Leader Yun, let it go."
Instantly, Yun Jing Lei stopped his footsteps and turned around to look at Ling Xian with a questioning look.
"I said, let it go." Ling Xian's expression was calm as he repeated himself.
With his status today, there was no need for him to lower himself to a servant's level. To put it bluntly, he was broad-minded and had great vision. He didn't think anything of the man.
"It is no wonder you are Master Ling. You sure are broad-minded." Yun Jing Lei silently complimented. He then bowed down to Ling Xian and said bitterly, "I am sorry. It is my fault for not being strict enough and offending Master Ling. I hope you can forgive me."
"Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you." Ling Xian brandished his hand and glared at the man in black, "Remember this. Being kind to others is beneficial to yourself. Even if you are undefeatable, don't be too arrogant."
Then, he ignored Yun Jing Lei and marched into the Yun Clan's Manor.
Seeing this, Yun Jing Lei fiercely glared at the two men and jogged to catch up.
However, he did not walk shoulder to shoulder with Ling Xian. Instead, he walked a step behind him and bent his body slightly to show his respect.
As for the two men at the door, they were stunned the moment Yun Jing Lei said the name "Master Ling."
Even though the two of them have never seen Ling Xian's face, they were extremely familiar with his name. His name was like thunder to their ears!
My god, that person was the legendary Master Ling?
The man who was slapped away by Yun Jing Lei was full of fear. Thinking about how he dared to attack Ling Xian, his entire body quivered and his fear reached an extreme.
"It is Master Ling … My god, you sure are lucky." The other man exhaled deeply and silently felt lucky that he didn't attack.
"Yes, Master Ling's heart is far too broad. If this was anyone else, they would've slapped me to death." The man in black chuckled, full of regret and shame.
At the same time, he swore to himself that he will remember what Ling Xian told him.
He will follow his words and never continue to be arrogant.
…..
In the Yun Clan's main hall, Ling Xian sat on the highest seat with a cup of tea in his hand.
Below him, Yun Jing Lei stood respectfully in the main hall with his head lowered. He didn't dare to look Ling Xian in the eye.
To know that the Yun Clan today was no longer what it used to be. They were the only rulers in the City of the Sun. As the Patriarch of the Yun Family, his position was even more powerful and illustrious.
Yet at this moment, he didn't even dare to breathe out loud. It was obvious how much he respected Ling Xian.
"There is no need to be so restrained. I am not a man-eating demon." Ling Xian sipped on his tea and smiled, "Sit."
"Yes, Master."
Yun Jing Lei nodded and slowly sat on the chair. His face was still cautious.
Seeing this, Ling Xian chuckled, "You … this is your home. Why are you acting so restrained?"
Yun Jing Lei smiled awkwardly, thinking that this was his home. But with Ling Xian sitting here, how could he behave like he normally would?
"Whatever, do what you want."
Ling Xian shook his head helplessly. He understood how powerful he was to cultivators like Yun Jing Lei with his current capabilities.
Therefore, he was too lazy to waste any more time and changed the topic, "How has Brother Yun been?"
"My father …" Yun Jing Lei spoke softly.
Yun Jing Lei spoke softly. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter.
"Haha, thanks to you, I have been living a great life. I have been extremely happy."
A bright laughter arose. In the next second, a white-haired elder appeared in the main hall.
It was the pillar of the Yun Clan, Yun Hai.
