The mountain behind the Residence of Yun was a beautiful bamboo forest.
The scenery here was like a painting, the air was fresh, and it was the home of an immortal.
When the wind blew by, the bamboo forest rustled and the bamboo leaves danced in the air. It was extremely beautiful.
"Nothing has changed. It is still as beautiful as ever, like a paradise." Ling Xian floated in midair and peered down at the bamboo forest. The corner of his lips curled up.
When he descended from the sky, numerous gazes immediately looked towards him, and then a wave of exclamations rang out.
"Look! It's Master Ling! "
"What? Master Ling is back? "
"Thank God for the blessing. Master Ling is finally back."
"Haha, I knew it. Master Ling is incomparably powerful. How can those two forces stop him?"
Silhouettes dashed out of the bamboo forest and surrounded Ling Xian tightly. Everyone's face was full of excitement.
Looking at everyone's joyful faces, Ling Xian grinned. Then, he gestured for everyone to quiet down.
Instantly, everyone shut their mouths and moved in unison without hesitation. It was obvious how high Ling Xian's position in everyone's hearts was.
"There are two things I need to say. First, let's see the Supreme Headmaster one last time." Ling Xian spoke softly and placed the black coffin on the ground. Then, he flapped around his sleeve and the lid of the coffin opened.
Instantly, everyone revealed a look of sadness. Staring at the middle-aged man lying inside the coffin, they couldn't help but feel sad. Zi Hua Shang and Zi Ying Xiong, in particular, had already rushed up to him.
"Father!"
With a heart-wrenching scream, Zi Ying Xiong burst into tears. As he shook Zi Dong Lai's arm, he sobbed, "Father, father, wake up, I am Ying Xiong, open your eyes and look at me, father!"
Zi Hua Shang, on the other hand, did not cry. After all, she was a few years older and knew how to be strong. She also predicted this scene. Though she had no tears, the sadness in her eyes was heavy. It was also obvious that she was trying her best not to cry.
At this, everyone became sadder and sadder. Even Ling Xian felt sad.
After a long while, the crying slowly disappeared. Then, everyone watched as Zi Ying Xiong's body tilted and his skinny body collapsed.
Luckily, Ling Xian was fast. In a flash, he arrived beside Zi Ying Xiong and pulled him into his embrace.
"Mister Ling, how is my brother?" Zi Hua Shang's expression changed and she asked hurriedly.
Ling Xian frowned and used his Qi to inspect Zi Ying Xiong's body. Seeing that he was only temporarily unconscious, Ling Xian sighed in relief. He waved his hand, "Don't worry. He was just too sad and passed out temporarily. It's nothing serious."
"Luckily, I've already lost my father. I can't lose my brother." Zi Hua Shang let out a long sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine after resting for a while."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and placed Zi Ying Xiong beside a purple bamboo. Then, he shifted his gaze onto everyone and said in a serious tone, "Now, I am going to talk about the second thing. This concerns everyone's lives. You must remember this well."
Instantly, the sadness on everyone's faces disappeared, and their expressions turned solemn.
"I think you are all aware of the situation we are in. The House of Zi Yang has been destroyed, and we are now the remnants of the House. Therefore, the two controlling forces will for sure dig three feet into the ground and kill us all." Ling Xian's expression was serious as he continued, "Just now, I had a discussion with the previous Clan Leader of the Yun Clan. He has agreed to take you in."
"What? We can stay here? That's great. We don't have to live the life of wandering and hiding anymore. "
"This is all thanks to Mister Ling. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to escape and we wouldn't have been able to stay in the Yun Clan."
"Yeah, the Yun Clan is only doing this because of Mister Ling. Or else who would dare to take the risk and take in the remnants of the House of Zi Yang?"
Everyone chimed in. The way they looked at Ling Xian was full of appreciation. Without exception, they were all heartfelt.
These people knew very well that the reason why they were able to survive and have a place to stay was all because of Ling Xian. Without him, they would've died in that war.
Therefore, out of the hundreds of cultivators here, every single one of them was extremely grateful towards Ling Xian. They were willing to give up their lives for him.
Feeling everyone's deep gratitude, Ling Xian had no doubt that if he wanted these people to kill themselves right now, they would do it without hesitation.
Of course, he wasn't going to ask them to kill themselves.
"You don't have to thank me. I am merely fulfilling the Headmaster's last wish." Ling Xian softly sighed, "Since the Yun Clan is willing to take you in, then I hope you can follow a few rules."
"First, you must follow all the rules of the Yun Clan. You cannot argue with the descendants of the Yun Clan, and you cannot fight."
"Second, and most importantly, do not wander outside. Do not go out as you please. Stay here and cultivate. Otherwise, if news of this gets out, not only will you all die, but the entire Yun Family will also be destroyed. They are willing to risk their lives to take you in. I don't want to see a tragedy like that happen. "
"Third, in the mountain range behind you, there are countless beasts. I hope you can form teams and hunt beasts every day. For one, you can gain experience. For two, you can trade the corpses of the beasts for training resources. I cannot ask the Yun Clan to provide you with training resources. "
"Okay, that's all I have for now. Now answer me, can you do it?"
Ling Xian's expression was calm as he glanced around. He had the demeanor of a ruler.
"Master Ling, do not worry. All three of them are reasonable. We can do it!"
"That's right. The Yun Clan has already taken us in because of Young Master Ling. How could we not know what's good for us and cause you trouble?"
"That's right. Master Ling, do not worry. If anyone breaks these three rules, I will be the first to kill him!"
"Yes, count me in. I want to see which bastard dares to disobey these three rules!"
Everyone agreed in unison. Their voices were full of determination.
Ling Xian nodded. The reason why he mentioned these three rules was because he didn't want these people to bring disaster to the Yun Clan. He believed these people could do it.
After all, they once bathed in blood for the House of Zi Yang and never retreated. No matter how bad their personalities were, they couldn't be that bad.
"Okay, then you can all cultivate," Ling Xian said softly. He then shifted his gaze towards Zi Hua Shang, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he carried Zi Yingxiong, who was on the ground, and walked towards the thatched cottage.
Seeing this, Zi Hua Shang was confused. But out of gratitude and out of Ling Xian's capabilities, she marched forward and followed.
Very quickly, the two of them entered the cottage.
The moment they entered, dust blew against their faces. Ling Xian frowned and asked, "You've lived here for so long. Have you never come in?"
"Master Ling, Sister Yun Yan said this is where you live and no one can enter," Zi Hua Shang answered in a low voice.
"This girl is thoughtful." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He flapped around his sleeve and all the dust in the room was swept away.
Then, he placed Zi Ying Xiong on the stone bed and turned to Zi Hua Shang. He said something that brightened her eyes.
"Headmaster, I left something for you."
