In the greeting hall of the Yun Clan.
Ling Xian sat on a chair and stared at the grey-haired elder, "Brother Yun, it's been a while."
"Haha, it hasn't been that long. It's only been a year. I thought it would be at least a few years before I get the chance to see you again." Yun Hai laughed. The way he looked at Ling Xian was complex.
There was shock, surprise, respect, and even a little nervousness. Logically speaking, he and Ling Xian were very familiar with each other, so he shouldn't be nervous.
However, what Ling Xian had done was far too shocking. Even Yun Hai, when he was around Ling Xian, was a little cautious.
Defeating the Demonic Fairy, suppressing Master Lin, brewing the perfect Dan, breaking through to the undefeatable realm of the foundational level, and battling Li Jian and Ning Wu Ji.
Each and every one of them was too shocking. Every single one of them could be called a magnificent feat and could even be called heaven-defying!
Noticing Yun Hai's nervousness, Ling Xian frowned and grinned, "What is it? Is Brother Yun scared of me?"
"Yeah, all the things you've done have spread across the 36 islands. Anyone who stands in front of you would feel nervous." Yun Hai exclaimed.
What Ling Xian said was true. What Ling Xian had done was far too threatening. Other than completion leveled cultivators, nobody could remain calm in front of him and talk casually.
"It's nothing worth mentioning." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't think much of what Ling Xian had done.
Yun Hai shook his head with a smile and said, "You ah, you are still as indifferent as before. You actually said those shocking actions were not worth mentioning. I really admire you."
Pausing, he continued, "I dare say that in the entire 36 islands, there are very few people who don't know you. You could even say that there aren't any."
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm just a little famous." Ling Xian was humble. He then placed the teacup on the table and sighed, "Brother Yun, let's talk business."
Hearing this, Yun Hai frowned and waved his hand at his eldest son, "Jing Lei, I have something to discuss with Master Ling. You can leave first."
"Yes, father."
Yun Jing Lei nodded softly and walked out of the hall, closing the door behind him.
Seeing that his eldest son had left, Yun Hai knew what Ling Xian wanted to ask. Before he could ask, Yun Hai opened his mouth, "Brother Ling, Yan Er and Meng Er have returned. None of them are missing."
Hearing this, Ling Xian stopped worrying and sighed in relief, "It is good that you are back. I did not disappoint the Supreme Headmaster."
"Brother, Yan 'er has already told me everything." Yun Hai's expression turned serious as he said in a low voice, "Tell me something. The House of Zi Yang … was really destroyed by the two forces?"
Ling Xian sighed deeply. After a long moment of silence, he finally uttered out two words.
"Yes."
Instantly, Yun Hai gasped. Even though he was 70% convinced, after Ling Xian confirmed it, he still felt shocked.
The House of Zi Yang, one of the three controlling forces of Shi Ao Island, disappeared just like that?
"This … how is this possible?" Yun Hai revealed a shocked expression. He was unable to accept this fact.
To any cultivator on Shi Ao Island, this was something they could not accept. After all, the powerfulness of the House of Zi Yang has been deeply rooted in everyone's heart. It has existed since tens of thousands of years ago. No matter how much time has passed, the House of Zi Yang has never fallen.
Yet before his eyes, this glorious force has been destroyed. Naturally, he could not accept this.
After a long while, Yun Hai finally recollected himself and smiled wryly, "A force that has dominated Shi Ao Island for tens of thousands of years has been destroyed in the blink of an eye. This is far too unbelievable."
"Now that you think about it, it makes sense. Two forces that do not pale in comparison to the House of Zi Yang can easily destroy the House of Zi Yang." Ling Xian softly sighed, "There is no force that cannot fall. Even if it has been glorious for tens of thousands of years, one day, it will be destroyed."
"That's true." Yun Hai exclaimed and calmed himself down. Then, he asked a very important question.
"Brother, what do you plan on doing with those people?"
"I …" Ling Xian frowned, unsure of what to do.
In the beginning, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he discussed with Yun Yan and arranged for these people to stay at the Yun Clan. However, as he traveled, he realized that this decision was not a good one.
The entire Shi Ao Island was now under the control of two forces. These two forces will not allow the House of Zi Yang to continue living. Before long, every single city on Shi Ao Island will have wanted posters for Ling Xian and the descendants of the House of Zi Yang.
Therefore, by settling this group of people here, there was a high possibility that it would harm the Yun Clan.
"Aye, I have not thought this through." Ling Xian sighed, not wanting to hurt the Yun Clan. He said in a low voice, "How about this, Brother Yun, help me find a boat to another island. The sooner, the better."
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Yun Hai frowned.
"Of course I want to take those people and leave Shi Ao Island. We cannot stay here any longer. If the other two forces find out, wouldn't we be hurting the Yun Clan?" Ling Xian faintly smiled.
"We are all family. What's there to hurt? If it weren't for you, the Yun Clan would've been wiped out a long time ago. We wouldn't have the glory we have today." Yun Hai's brows were tightly locked together. Even though he was a little scared, he gritted his teeth and said with determination, "Brother, let them stay at the Yun Clan."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart warmed. He knew how much risk Yun Hai was taking by making this decision. He also understood that Yun Hai was doing this because of him.
Or else why would Yun Hai allow the descendants of the House of Zi Yang to stay? This was a disaster that required a lot of risk!
"But, if we let them stay here, the Yun Clan will be in a lot of trouble." Ling Xian frowned.
"Brother, don't say anything else. Don't worry." Yun Hai smiled confidently, "The Yun Clan is no longer what it used to be. Of course, we cannot compete with the other two forces. But hiding a few people is not a problem."
"I …"
Ling Xian paused. Even though there was a certain amount of risk in staying, Shi Ao Island was huge. The other two forces might not be able to find out who the Yun Clan was. If he left, he would not be able to avoid the two forces' defense line. The risk was even higher.
Therefore, he chose the former. "Okay, then I will have to trouble you."
"You are the savior of the Yun Clan. There is no need to trouble me." Yun Hai smiled, "Go see them. They are staying where you used to live."
"Okay, then I will go see them first."
Ling Xian nodded softly. He stood up and headed towards the mountain he used to live in.
Before long, he arrived at the mountain behind the Yun Clan.
The moment he appeared, gazes upon gazes shifted towards him. Then, a series of gasps arose.
