Chapter 116: Returning Home

  "It should be the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu that is going to collapse, but this collapse is a bit too loud."

  Zhang Shan thought, and without hesitation followed the crowd fleeing into the distance.

  A moment later, another dull roar came from the underground of Black Wind Gorge. He turned his head to look back and saw that the entire gorge had collapsed into the ground.

  After a long time, when the ground was no longer shaking, everyone stopped and stared at the enormous crater in the distance, all of them looking stunned.

  "I should be the last one to spread out from Wang Ling's tomb, and it is estimated that there will be no damage to the disciples of the sect in the self-destruction of Wang Ling."

  Zhang Shan thought for a moment, then began to look around for Ling Yuwei's figure.

  At last she was discovered in the distance, standing with several people from Benfang, looking well and seemingly unharmed during her time in the valley.

  He walked unintentionally in that direction, surrounded by a group of disheveled disciples. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhang Shan transmitted his voice to Ling Yuwei.

  Ling Yuwei's body shook slightly, but she controlled her emotions well and didn't let the fellow disciples beside her notice anything unusual.

  Before long, the two met in a small gorge not far from there.

  "Zhang Shan, it's really great that you're okay. After I was transported out, I couldn't find you anywhere and thought something had happened to you, I was worried to death."

  At this time he had recovered his original appearance. When Ling Yu saw him, she began to complain, but her expression was joyful beyond control.

  "What can I be afraid of? I haven't even reached the pinnacle of the world yet, how could I die?" Zhang Shan laughed loudly.

  "How dare you!" Ling Yuwei gave him a cold glance.

  After a few words of coldness, Zhang Shan asked about her experience and learned that she and Ben Feng's senior brother An Li Xing had taken action together, relying on violence to break through the outer maze and also entered the Ma Wang Ling.

  However, she is not strong in combat and spent a lot of time barely making it to the third level after passing through the first two levels.

  The third round was to make a mechanical puppet, but she didn't understand this way and didn't have Zhang Shan's insight in this aspect, so she temporarily made one by cheating, and then was easily defeated by her opponent in the fourth round, after which it was spread out.

  "And you? Which level have you reached?" Ling Yuwei asked him.

  "I'm so awesome, of course I cleared it." Zhang Shan smiled.

  "Little brother, you're getting more and more dishonest, always bragging. When I first met you, it wasn't like this." Ling Yuwei said with a pout.

  "I knew you wouldn't believe me. This Xumi seal is where I gained some insights from the inside, help me bring it back to the sect and give it to Master."

  Zhang Shan said, taking out the old Xumi seal he used to use. Inside was what he had chosen and given to Nan Ruo Li, with the divine consciousness imprint already erased from it.

  "Can I take a look?" Ling Yuwei stared at him in disbelief with her mouth agape.

  "Look, they are all elixirs and spiritual stones. If Master wants to pick some, she can choose from them." Zhang Shan nodded and said.

  Ling Yuwei's divine sense swept into the ring: "Over a thousand pieces of spirit stone, ah, are these high-quality spirit stones? And the style of these medicine bottles doesn't seem to be from this era. You've really found a treasure trove."

  "That's right, you can't cheat Little Sister, can you?" Zhang Shan chuckled.

  Ling Yuwei gave him a sideways glance: "Big mouth, besides, this thing is for your master, how can I want it."

  "It's nothing, I just don't know much about the effects of these medicinal pills, so I'll have Master examine them. I left a letter for Master inside, if there are any pills that you and Fang Shijie can use together, please let Master pick them out for you."

  Ling Wei said somewhat hesitantly: "How can this be? I didn't help with anything, and yet I'm receiving a reward."

  "Alright, we've been through thick and thin together since we met, so don't be polite to me. However, on your way back, be careful not to get cheated again." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

  Ling Yu Wei stomped her foot: "Since that thing happened, everyone has become more cautious. Why do you want me to pass it on? Don't you plan on returning to the sect?"

  "I want to go back to Qingyang City for a trip to visit my mother, so I won't be returning to the sect for now."

  Zhang Shan nodded and replied that regarding the information he got from Xing Yuebo, he still didn't know what was going on and wasn't planning to tell Ling Yuwei about it yet.

  "In fact, you are the true disciple of Ben Feng, and you can bring your family back to live in the sect. This way, you won't have to travel long distances between two places." Ling Yuwei said after remembering something.

  "Can I still bring my family back to the sect?" Zhang Shan's eyes lit up and said.

  "Outer disciples are naturally out of the question, but inner disciples can bring their direct relatives. True transmission disciples can even bring over all their relatives within three generations."

  Ling Yuwei continued to explain: "However, of course, it is not possible to enter the mountain residence. There are many towns near the sect's mountain gate, which are basically used for the families of the sect members. These towns are all within the defensive range of the Hu Shan Great Array and are very safe."

  Zhang Shan felt a sense of clarity in his heart, thinking that this was reasonable. For warriors on the path of cultivation, fighting and killing were everyday occurrences, so it was inevitable to have countless enemies. If family members fell into the hands of their opponents, it would always be a headache.

  Although there is a rule in the cultivation world that family members are not affected, not everyone follows it, especially some demonic sects, which will not take this rule seriously.

  "It's settled then, this time when I go home, I'll bring Mother back with me."

  After knowing this, Zhangshan was overjoyed in his heart. If he could bring his mother and others here, it would also make him worry-free.

  The two of them chatted for a few more sentences. After Ling Yuwei reminded him to be careful, they parted ways with Zhang Shan and returned to where the other disciples were gathered.

  Zhang Shan was waiting inside the Small Gorge.

  The den of the demon thieves has been destroyed, and most of the demon thieves have been eliminated. The leaders of the demon thieves are either dead or have escaped, and the remaining scattered remnants cannot stir up any more trouble.

  The sect has also received news and sent a spirit boat to pick up the disciples.

  Half a day later, the Lingzhou arrived as scheduled and took all the surviving disciples on board before starting to sail back.

  Lingzhou was probably already far away, and Zhangshan just came out of the small canyon.

  After sensing that there was no one else nearby, he finally released the Spirit Boat he had obtained from the Mausoleum of the Mute King.

  The Lingzhou is about 10 zhang long, with a streamlined, elongated oval shape resembling a calabaza. The hull has six ridged lines running from the bow to the stern.

  "It feels like a submarine from past life."

  Zhang Shan's divine consciousness drilled into the core formation of the Lingzhou, branding his own divine soul mark on it, and then began to refine.

  Half a time later, the refining was completed. At this point, he had already known every corner of the Lingzhou like the back of his hand.

  This spirit boat, although only ten zhang in size from the outside, has a large space inside with many rooms and complete living facilities, like a large palace.

  In an instant, Zhang Shan appeared in the main control room of the Lingzhou.

  From here, the situation outside the Lingzhou can be clearly seen. Zhangshan knew that this was the reason for the Image Array, and everything outside was truly displayed here, just like the control room was transparent.

  After sitting down in the room, he activated the dynamic formation with his divine consciousness, and the spirit boat quickly rose to high altitude, breaking through the air towards Qingyang City.
