Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yuanjun had not emerged from the cave abode they had carved out in the nearby mountains.
Although the Chu Family knew Zhang Yuan was in the mountains, they sent no one to disturb him.
Several days passed.
The Chu Family had regained their spirits. Adding bricks and tiles to this stretch of land, they soon built a small town, bringing some life to the area.
Just as on the Northern Shore, they named the town Moon Laurel Town. The mountain where Zhang Yuan stayed stood directly behind it, and, as before, they named it Osmanthus Fragrance Mountain.
At that moment, several core members of the Chu Family's direct lineage and their deeply trusted Guest Elders from other families gathered in the Chu Family's main courtyard in town.
Chu Dalong, Chu Sanbao, and Chu Siniu sat at the front, followed by the two Guest Elders, Duan Zong and Tan Sheng, with Chu Zhankuo behind them.
Chu Zhankuo rose and cupped his hands. "Father, Uncles, I've sent men to investigate this area."
Chu Dalong nodded. "Tell us in detail."
The Chu Family had only just arrived, and their former cultivation was all gone. To survive in this unfamiliar land, they first had to understand the local situation. Otherwise, one careless move might offend some powerful faction and bring disaster down upon the Chu Family once again.
Having come from the Azure Firmament Dust-Dyed Realm, the Chu Family understood their own circumstances very well.
Although the immortal named Zhang Yuan was still on Osmanthus Fragrance Mountain behind them, they knew that, whatever his reasons, saving them once had been an immense kindness to their family.
If they truly thought that being saved once meant they could treat the immortal as their own backer, that would be sheer folly.
