"Phew—"
Wu Yu gently exhaled, and a puff of white mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, quickly dispersing into the air with the wind.
Wu Yun noticed the movement beside her and turned to look. Seeing this, she let out a soft chuckle.
They had seen such scenes many times before, but in the past, they were always in a hurry, with too many things occupying their minds, leaving them no time to think too much.
Now, even something as ordinary as this, when looked at carefully, seemed much more interesting than before.
"Sir, after we reached this place, the temperature dropped sharply. We should be close to the place you mentioned, right?"
Lin Xiao was walking ahead of Wu Yun and Wu Yu. Hearing this, he turned back to look at them. "Yes, we're almost there."
"By the way, I've said it before, you don't need to address me that way."
"But we are following you, and you are now a Titled Douluo. We should have some way to address you."
"If we really must have a form of address…" Lin Xiao paused for a moment here, then raised his head and looked forward. "You'll know soon enough."
Hearing this, Wu Yun took two steps forward and followed Lin Xiao's gaze. In the distance, ahead of them, appeared a low mountain range. In front of the mountain stood a huge monument carved from ice and snow, with three large characters engraved on it: "Tongming Cult."
"Sect Master, you've returned!"
Seeing the familiar figure flying rapidly from behind the monument, the expressions of Wu Yun and Wu Yu changed at the same time. But upon hearing his form of address, the two sisters suddenly turned their heads to look at Lin Xiao.
"He is one of the people I mentioned to you before. Just like you, and like me. If you are willing, you can address me the same way."
The tall and burly figure of Abomination steadily landed in front of Lin Xiao. He glanced at Wu Yun and Wu Yu beside him and quickly recognized them.
"Sect Master, are they the same as those other disciples?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao turned to look at the two women. "That depends on their own choice."
"Although you said you want to follow me, I will not force you. Even if you don't join the Tongming Cult, you can still stay here. Being with us means you won't have to hide and flee everywhere like before."
"Sect Master!"
Wu Yun and Wu Yu almost did not hesitate.
"Let's go." Lin Xiao smiled upon seeing this and took the lead, walking forward. "By the way, I didn't expect to be gone for so long on this trip. Nothing happened in the sect during this time, right?"
"No." Abomination shook his head. "It's just that there are suddenly many more people in the mountains."
"Hm?" Lin Xiao looked toward Abomination. "Where did they come from?"
"Some are people from the Holy Spirit Cult that the previous disciples had encountered. After hearing about this place, they chose to stay here. Others are refugees who fled here from various places because of the war. When our disciples met them, they brought them back."
"And one more…" Abomination paused slightly. "A very special person."
"How special?"
"You'll understand once you meet her, Sect Master."
"Alright, then take me to see her later."
"Yes." Abomination nodded. "Since you hadn't returned, we didn't make any decisions. We only let these people stay here temporarily and wait for you to come back to handle it."
"Sigh." Lin Xiao let out a soft sigh. "Fleeing all the way to near the Far North… they probably really had nowhere else to go."
"Just let them stay in the mountains. Also, prepare some heating soul guidance devices and send them over. They should all be ordinary people who can't withstand the cold here."
"Mm." Abomination nodded. "The other disciples and I have already made some simple soul guidance devices, but we still need to frequently go and supply soul power."
"That's easy. I'll figure out a way later." As Lin Xiao spoke, they had already entered the mountain. Before their eyes, the simple Tongming Cult stronghold had undergone quite a few changes.
Apart from the larger territory and more rooms, the Tongming Cult itself wasn't much different from before. However, on the outskirts, there were now many residences for ordinary people. Though simple, they were enough to block wind and snow.
"How are they… getting along with the sect disciples?"
"For now, it's fine. We didn't tell them about our previous identities, and the disciples no longer act the way they did in the Holy Spirit Cult. They get along quite well, usually."
"What are the other disciples doing? Also, take me to see those Holy Spirit Cult disciples I haven't met yet."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Seeing Abomination heading toward the rear courtyard, Lin Xiao brought Wu Yun and Wu Yu and followed along.
After all, there weren't many disciples in the Tongming Cult, and the bitter cold of the Far North didn't offer many places to go. Soon, news of the Sect Master's return had spread, and more than a dozen figures had already gathered in the rear courtyard waiting.
Some who had never seen Lin Xiao before curiously stretched their necks, wanting to see what this Sect Master actually looked like.
However, the moment Lin Xiao appeared in front of everyone, several people instantly lowered their heads.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Lin Xiao pretended not to notice the changes in the crowd and smiled while raising his hand slightly.
"I am the same as all of you, just a person with nowhere to go. There is no need to be overly formal."
"Yes."
Although they said this, Lin Xiao's Titled Douluo cultivation could not be faked. Even if he restrained his aura, no one dared to truly treat him as just "a person with nowhere to go."
"I was once like you, so I understand why you are here." Lin Xiao's gaze swept across the crowd. "Since we will be living together from now on, let's start with the simplest thing, introductions."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao slightly narrowed his eyes. His gaze continuously scanned the people in front of him as memories surfaced in his mind.
Back when the Holy Spirit Cult was preparing to participate in the Elite Youth Tournament, in order to select suitable participants from the various branch altars, Zhong Liwu had once shown him the list of core disciples of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Although it was only basic information and simple experiences, Lin Xiao could still glean many things from it.
The reason he took in Holy Spirit Cult disciples was ultimately to give those who had not yet fully integrated into the Holy Spirit Cult a place to stay, not to truly recreate another "Holy Spirit Cult."
As the disciples introduced themselves one by one, Lin Xiao quickly formed a plan in his heart.
Only after the last disciple finished speaking did Lin Xiao smile and take two steps forward. "Since everyone is here, you must all know your own origins."
"From now on, no one will pursue your past anymore."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Hearing this, joyful expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
"Sect Master." Wu Yun, who had been following behind Lin Xiao, gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Some of these disciples… I have seen it before. If we keep them…"
Lin Xiao slightly turned his head to glance at her and gently raised his hand. "I know. Don't worry. I have other reasons for keeping them."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao imperceptibly glanced toward the north.
Wu Yun noticed Lin Xiao's gaze and also raised her head to look, but besides the sky full of snow, there was nothing else.
