183 The Chao Clan
“Young Master!” A large group of black figures knelt in front of Chao Bai.
As Chao Bai looked down at the people in front of him, he snorted and said, “Why are you guys still alive?”
The leader immediately lowered his head and replied, “Young Master, we survived because we were trapped outside Qiong Continent during the battle. When we returned to the tribe, only the aftermath of the battle was left. At that time, although we knew that you were still alive, because there were restrictions on Spirit Mountain, we could only leave in separate ways in hopes of finding a way to undo the restrictions!”
Chao Bai didn’t say anything and only looked quietly at the people kneeling in front of him.
The leader continued, “That day, we sensed the abnormality on Spirit Mountain and rushed back here. Only then did we finally see you again!”
Sensing that the person was trembling with excitement, the people around him didn’t dare to raise their heads. They knelt on the ground with their heads lowered while waiting for Chao Bai to lecture them.
Chao Bai lowered his head and looked at those people, his expression still cold. “Since you guys already knew that there was something abnormal on Spirit Mountain, why did it take you guys so long to see me?”
“This…” Not knowing how to answer, the person paused.
A person beside him immediately lowered his head and replied, “Young Master, we’ve been looking around Spirit Mountain for a long time to find a way to go up the mountain, but there are many arrays and restrictions on the mountain, so we couldn’t find you at all. Later, we sensed that you had arrived in the capital, so we chased after you.”
“In the Li family’s residence, we sensed your appearance, but when we arrived, the Li family’s residence was already in ruins. We thought the Li family must have offended you, so…”
That person was halfway through his sentence when Chao Bai stopped him. “You don’t have to interfere in the Li family’s matters.”
“How did you guys find me?” Chao Bai asked again.
The leader finally came back to his senses. “That day, we received news that a group of people had infiltrated Spirit Mountain, so we observed from afar. Later, we realized that you were really with these people. However, we didn’t know what you planned to do, so we didn’t rashly go forward to acknowledge you.”
“You guys were observing from afar?” Chao Bai raised his eyebrows. He had felt something abnormal in the distance that day, but he thought that the spirit beasts on Spirit Mountain had sneaked out to take a look because of their commotion. He didn’t expect it to be these people.
“Did you guys do that to those servants?” Chao Bai thought of the servant whose appearance had suddenly changed and realized that they must have done it.
“Yes!” The leader had no intention of hiding anything. “We saw that those people seemed to be disrespectful to you, but we couldn’t attack them directly. When we saw those servants scatter, we chose a few to attack in order to let them know how powerful Spirit Mountain is!”
Chao Bai nodded noncommittally and said, “Where are you guys settled now?”
The leader immediately lowered his head even more. “We were originally waiting outside Spirit Mountain for you to return, hoping that one day, we would be able to avenge our clan! Later, we found a valley a hundred miles away from Spirit Mountain. That valley was secluded, and there was a miasma swamp at the entrance of the valley. Very few people could enter, so we settled down here and trained day and night.”
“Valley?” Chao Bai frowned slightly. He had never heard of any confined valley.
“Yes! This valley is now called Ghost Valley. We boldly established the Chao Clan’s manor in the name of the Chao Clan,” the leader said respectfully.
“You guys are quite loyal!” Chao Bai snorted coldly. They were unable to tell what he was thinking.
The leader immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. “Young Master, please return to the manor and preside over the clan!”
Then, a group of people kneeling on the ground said in unison, “Young Master, please return to the villa and preside over the clan”
