It is now winter, and the nights in the extreme north are very long, but they eventually pass.
At dawn, the disciples of the Tongming Sect who had just stepped out of their rooms were stunned. The Tongming Sect, which had been crowded with people just yesterday, had become somewhat empty after merely one night.
All the people who had entered the Tongming Sect during this period had disappeared without a trace. Only a handful remained in the sect, and judging from their expressions, they too had no idea what had happened last night.
In the square, Wu Yu was clapping her hands as she walked past the crowd from the front, looking as if she had just returned from outside after handling something.
"Steward Wu, what happened last night?" Finally, someone could no longer suppress their curiosity and stepped forward to ask.
"I don't know," Wu Yu turned her head to look at the others, appearing completely unaware of anything.
"If you want to know, just wait for the Sect Master to return and ask him."
"Sect Master?" Upon hearing these two words, the others' voices rose a few notches.
After all, some of them had heard the rumors circulating outside. They also wanted to know whether the rumor that the Tongming Sect had become the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire was true, and whether they could appear outside like ordinary people again.
But before they could ask clearly, Wu Yu had already vanished without a trace.
For the entire day, the atmosphere in the entire Tongming Sect felt somewhat strange because of Wu Yu's single sentence. From time to time, someone would glance toward the main gate of the Tongming Sect, checking to see if any figures had appeared.
"Sect Master, what if those people have left?"
"They won't have." Listening to the Abomination's doubt beside him, Lin Xiao shook his head. "If anyone leaves that tower, I will naturally sense it."
"It will be troublesome for you to run to the extreme north more often in the future. After all, I still want them to live a little longer."
The Abomination did not feel it was anything much. With his strength, traveling back and forth to the extreme north was not particularly difficult. At most, the cold here made him somewhat uncomfortable. However, during his time in the Tongming Sect, he had grown increasingly accustomed to it.
When Lin Xiao and the Abomination returned to the Tongming Sect while chatting casually, what they saw was a pair of eager eyes staring at them.
"Sect Master!"
"What are you all doing? Have I been away so long that you've missed me?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the curiosity in the others' hearts was immediately suppressed quite a bit. A disciple who had followed Lin Xiao to participate in the elite competition back then stepped forward.
"Sect Master, rumors are spreading wildly outside. We're all curious whether those rumors are true."
"What do you think?" Lin Xiao did not respond directly, only narrowing his eyes slightly. "If they are true, what will you do? If they are false, what then?"
"This…" The crowd exchanged glances with one another.
"Sect Master, if they are false, we will naturally continue as we are now. During this time, we have also grown accustomed to life here."
"If they are true…"
"At the very least, we can go outside and take a look, and we won't have to trouble the ordinary people around us even to buy things."
Lin Xiao looked at the Tongming Sect disciples before him, who were not numerous, and gently let out a breath. "It is indeed true. Soon, with the status of Tongming Sect disciples, the Sun Moon Empire will no longer pursue the matter of your origins from the Holy Spirit Cult. Before long, you will be able to walk outside like ordinary people."
As his words fell, a look of joy rose on the faces of the other disciples. After all, although hiding here had allowed them to evade the Sun Moon Empire's pursuit, hiding and being able to move about outside were ultimately different.
The not entirely certain rumor had finally been confirmed by Lin Xiao, and everyone in their hearts felt as if they had let out a long breath of relief.
Lin Xiao looked at the crowd without speaking, only his gaze changing slightly.
You are all people I carefully selected. Do not disappoint me.
Setting aside his thoughts, Lin Xiao suddenly turned his head to the side. "You all come out as well."
On the side, the figures of Wu Yun and Wu Yu also walked out to stand beside Lin Xiao.
"The reason for my return this time, besides handling those disciples' matters, is also about the ordinary people around here."
"Although this place can help avoid the chaos of war, the environment is bitterly cold after all. Ordinary people can rely on soul guidance devices for heating to live, but they have no way to live normally. Everything has to be purchased from outside."
"Now that the war has been pacified, after I leave this time, there will soon be no more wars on this continent. These people can be sent out of the mountains. At that time, you will organize disciples to protect them as they leave."
"Yes, Sect Master." Wu Yun slightly bowed in a salute. Although Lin Xiao had said many times before, Wu Yun's attitude toward him had always been quite respectful.
After speaking, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Wu Yu on the other side. "Similarly, with the protection of our status as the state religion, I imagine many disciples will want to go outside to experience things for a while."
"Although it will be hard work, I need you to take a few trustworthy disciples to observe the actions of the other disciples. If any have not corrected their old habits, have Elder Abomination send them to the Tower of Eternity."
Although Wu Yu had never seen what the Tower of Eternity looked like, after glancing at the Abomination beside her, she still nodded and agreed.
Lin Xiao raised his hand, and several storage soul guidance devices flew out from his hand, landing steadily in the palms of the few people. "In the future, you will need to pay more attention to the affairs of the sect."
"These things are what I brought from the Sun Moon Empire side. If there is any further need, you can bring it up to me."
Wu Yun and Wu Yu had no other needs, but the Abomination scratched his head, hesitating a little before speaking. "Sect Master, I…"
"I know what you need for your cultivation, but you cannot do it the same way as back in the Holy Spirit Cult."
As Lin Xiao spoke, he suddenly let out a light sigh. "How about this? Because of this continental war, many broken corpses on the battlefield were left unclaimed and were hastily buried. I will say something on the Sun Moon Empire side. You can sew them back together completely and find a place to bury them properly."
"Yes, Sect Master."
The Abomination nodded repeatedly.
"Sect Master, that person from Shrek Academy…"
Wu Yun did not finish, but Lin Xiao also knew she was referring to Bei Bei, who had stayed in the Tongming Sect together with Tang Ya all this time.
"If they do not want to leave, then let them be. After all, there is nothing shameful about my Tongming Sect."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao glanced at the crowd of disciples still immersed in joy, then turned back and swept his gaze over Wu Yun, Wu Yu, and the Abomination. "This time I have returned, I cannot stay for too long. There are still some matters in the Sun Moon Empire that require me to handle personally."
"I hope all of you will not forget why you came here."
"Respectfully sending off the Sect Master!"
The crowd of disciples spoke in unison. As their voices fell, Lin Xiao had already disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yun turned her head and glanced at Wu Yu beside her. "I think those few disciples who participated in the elite competition back then are quite good. When you do things, just take them with you."
"Alright, sister."
Wu Yu agreed. Wu Yun then glanced at the Abomination, nodded, and they each went their separate ways.
