The welcome, and what did you say?

In the sky, the Golden Wing King carried Li Yunjing swiftly towards the Ruins of Return Manor.

Li Yunjing was recalling the information about the Ruins of Return Manor.

Ruins of Return Manor is the largest human sect in the Eastern Domain, with a history spanning tens of thousands of years.

The two elders, True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling, whom Li Yunjing had previously met in the cave abode, were the only two Supreme Elders of the Guixu Ruins of Return Manor Dao Integration Realm.

Ruins of Return Manor is quite strong overall.

There are two True Lord at the Dao Integration Realm above, and quite a few cultivators at the Spirit Transformation and Nascent Soul Realm below.

Even after being passed down for tens of thousands of years, it is still thriving and even shows a trend of further progress.

"These two should have already witnessed my strength in the cave abode," Li Yunjing muttered to himself. "I hope they're wise enough not to put up a futile resistance."

Without any unexpected incidents, Li Yunjing arrived above Ruins of Return Manor about half an hour later.

Ruins of Return Manor is located on the main peak of Yandang Mountain, with majestic mountains and swirling clouds and mist.

Pavilions and towers are built against the mountain, arranged in a staggered manner, and nestled among the green pines and cypresses.

At the foot of the mountain, a clear stream meanders by, its waters Spiritual Qi in mist, with koi carp occasionally leaping out of the water.

The entire Ruins of Return Manor was shrouded in a massive protective array. When the array was in operation, clouds and mist swirled around it, and immortal energy floated in the air. It truly lived up to its reputation as the number one sect in the Eastern Domain.

However, when Li Yunjing and his group arrived, the protective array of the Ruins of Return Manor was completely open.

The area outside the mountain gate was already packed with people.

Leading them were none other than the True Lord Bishui and the Fairy Hongling.

Both were dressed in their most formal Daoist robes, their hair was neatly combed, and they wore respectful smiles.

Behind them were the sect leader and elders of the Ruins of Return Manor, numbering in the hundreds.

The lowest level of these people was the Golden Core Perfection stage, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.

Further along the mountain path, the Ruins of Return Manor disciples stood densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

All the disciples held their breath, their eyes filled with awe as they gazed at the four figures in mid-air.

The entire Ruins of Return Manor was completely silent, save for the rustling of the mountain wind through the pine forest.

Li Yunjing looked down at the situation below, somewhat surprised.

How come the Ruins of Return Manor seems to know I was coming, and even has the ability to foresee the future?

However, sending the entire clan to welcome Li Yunjing and his group should be the largest scale of welcome they could possibly have.

Li Yunjing landed slowly on the square in front of the mountain gate, followed closely by the three kings.

True Lord Bishui quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply to Li Yunjing, and said respectfully, "This junior, Bi Shui, along with my wife Hongling and all the disciples of the Ruins of Return Manor, respectfully welcomes Senior's esteemed presence! We apologize for any shortcomings in our welcome!"

Fairy Hongling quickly followed suit, bowing respectfully and saying in a trembling voice, "Junior Hongling greets Senior!"

The hundreds of elders and tens of thousands of disciples behind them also knelt down at the same time, shouting in unison, "Welcome, Senior!"

The sound resounded throughout the entire Qingyun Mountain Range, echoing for a long time in the valley.

Li Yunjing looked at the scene before him with no expression on his face.

He had long anticipated that True Lord Bishui would react this way.

In the face of absolute power, pride and self-esteem are utterly insignificant.

"Get up." Li Yunjing spoke calmly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"Senior Xie!"

True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling quickly stood up, and the elders and disciples behind them also stood up one after another.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look Li Yunjing in the eye.

True Lord Bishui stepped aside and gestured for him to proceed, saying respectfully, "Senior, you must be tired from your journey. I have prepared tea in the main hall. Please, Senior, move to the main hall to rest."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and walked towards the Ruins of Return Manor.

The three kings followed behind him, heads held high, chests puffed out, exuding an air of arrogance.

In the past, when they came to the Ruins of Return Manor, they treated each other as equals. Although True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling were polite, they would not have been so respectful.

Now that they're following Li Yunjing, they're also benefiting from his success, and they can't help but feel a surge of pride.

True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling walked on either side of Li Yunjing, bowing slightly as they served him with utmost care.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on both of their foreheads, and they were filled with unease.

Although they didn't witness firsthand how Li Yunjing killed the three demons of the Myriad Demon Hall while they were in the cave abode.

However, they had seen the corpses of the three demons from the Myriad Demon Hall with their own eyes.

This had a tremendous impact on the two of them, one that they would likely never forget.

Therefore, after leaving the cave abode, the two immediately made thorough preparations.

Such a person would inevitably come to their Ruins of Return Manor to take a look.

If Ruins of Return Manor were to neglect this person in any way, the Ruins of Return Manor's millennia-old heritage might be severed.

They simply didn't know what Li Yunjing's purpose was in coming to the Ruins of Return Manor this time.

Are they here to demand treasure? Or to annex their sect? Or... to kill them?

The two were filled with anxiety, but dared not show it in the slightest, and could only pretend to be calm and put on smiling faces.

The Ruins of Return Manor Mansion is magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and is resplendent in gold and green.

In the very center of the main hall stood a huge throne made of rosewood, the seat of the sect leader of the Ruins of Return Manor.

Seeing this, Li Yunjing nodded in approval.

"When I get back, should I try doing it like this myself?" Li Yunjing thought to himself.

As the Luozhen Sect grows in size, some of its facilities should also be developed accordingly. Otherwise, outsiders might think that the Luozhen Sect is stingy.

At this moment, True Lord Bishui dared not let Li Yunjing sit in that position.

He personally brought over a chair crafted from millennia-old warm jade, placed it at the head of the throne, and respectfully said, "Senior, please sit."

Li Yunjing didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the warm jade chair, then sat down directly.

The three kings stood on either side of Li Yunjing, like guardians.

True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling stood below the main hall, heads slightly bowed, awaiting Li Yunjing's question.

The hall was completely silent, the atmosphere so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

After a long silence, Li Yunjing finally spoke, breaking the stillness. "True Lord Bishui, Fairy Hongling, do you know why I have come here today?"

True Lord Bishui's heart tightened, and he quickly bowed and said, "This junior is unaware, please enlighten me, senior. I will go through fire and water for any order you may give!"

Fairy Hongling quickly added, "That's right! If Senior has any orders, none of us in the Ruins of Return Manor would dare disobey!"

Seeing the two people's fearful expressions, Li Yunjing's lips curled into a faint smile.

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Let me tell you something first, I'm not from the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm."

A single sentence, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded throughout the hall.

Both True Lord Bishui and Fairy Hongling turned deathly pale, abruptly raising their heads to look at Li Yunjing in disbelief.

They were shocked, but also puzzled.

What does it mean to be "not from the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm"? Does it mean there are other Dao Realm besides the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm?

Not only were the two of them shocked, but the three demons beside Li Yunjing were also so shocked that their pupils dilated.

Although they had long felt that Li Yunjing had a mysterious background and was incredibly powerful, they never imagined that Li Yunjing would have such a background!

Like the True Lord Bishui, the three demons were also wondering: Could it be that the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm wasn't the only one?

"S-senpai, what... what did you say?"

"I wonder if I've misheard," asked the True Lord Bishui, his voice trembling.
