Those words touched the hearts of all the elders behind him, but none of them objected.
The head of the family has a long-term vision; David now deserves the full commitment of the Lingxi family.
Following such an influential figure was much more likely to allow the Lingxi family to stand firm and survive forever amidst the impending chaos of heaven than remaining neutral and living comfortably in a remote corner.
Ling Xiyuan continued in a deep voice, making the most solemn promise: “From now on, the Lingxi Region will be your personal territory, Young Master.”
The young master can freely access all the spiritual herbs, alchemy workshops, secret realms and resources in the entire region without needing to report.
My spies, my patrols across the region, and even my own cultivation as a Celestial Immortal—all are under your command, young master!
“I only ask that when you reach the pinnacle of glory in the future, you give me, Lingxi, a chance to survive and protect my family.”
The head of one of the seven great families put away all pride and arrogance, lowering his head in public to win the favor of the other party, showing the utmost sincerity and without the slightest pretense.
David stood quietly in place, listening to his promise, his expression still indifferent, but a faint glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes.
Ling Xiyuan was able to hold the position of family head for thousands of years, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. He has sharp eyesight, makes decisive choices, and is flexible and adaptable. He is adept at how to survive in chaotic times and choose the right masters to serve.
He raised his hand and kept the rotating Shennong Cauldron and three Elixir of Creation. His movements were relaxed and natural, as if he was storing ordinary objects, not ancient saint artifacts or extraordinary divine pills.
Amidst the amazed gazes of the crowd, David spoke slowly, his voice calm yet firm, honestly revealing all his pretense: “Patriarch Lingxi has extraordinary insight. Since you treat me so sincerely, I will no longer hide anything.”
“My real name is David.”
“He was the person that the Silu and Xuanqiu clans were looking for by mobilizing all their resources, launching a nationwide manhunt, and offering huge rewards.”
Without hiding or embellishing, he openly admitted his identity as a traitor to heaven, honestly and frankly, without fear of anyone present finding out.
The air suddenly became still.
The surrounding elders all trembled, their pupils narrowed sharply, and the last trace of doubt in their hearts completely disappeared.
Turns out it was him!
That rebellious young man who single-handedly sparked a bloody war between two races, overthrew the old order in the heavens, and shook the entire twenty-five heavens!
Everyone held their breaths, their hearts pounding, and instinctively looked at their family head, waiting for his decision.
Only Ling Xiyuan remained calm and collected, showing no shock, fear, or hesitation.
He nodded slightly, smiled slightly, and said in a very calm tone, “I had expected that.”
“From the moment you instantly took out two Level Nine Great Luo fierce beasts, accompanied by an ancient fire unicorn, and possessed an extraordinary temperament, I knew what was going on in my mind.”
Observing your attitude, your intelligence, and your extraordinary connections, it is now clear that in this world, apart from you, David, there is no one else who has your passion and abilities.
His tone became more serious, and in front of the entire clan, he uttered a solemn oath to completely convince David: “Young Master Chen, calm down.”
“Now, since I, Lingxi, have chosen to befriend you wholeheartedly and follow you faithfully, I will never be a two-faced person or a traitor.”
“Your identity has been sealed here and now. Everything you have seen, heard, and said today will rot in the Wan Dan Divine Workshop and in the hearts of my Lingxi clan.”
“Be it the laws or the various races of the heavens, even if they come to our doors to exert pressure, coerce us with their power, or tempt us with great benefits, no one in Lingxi will say a word!”
“From today on, you will be my Lingxi family’s most honored guest, and the person I, Lingxi, will protect with my life.”
Anyone who dares to reveal even the slightest trace of the young master will be found guilty of treason and face death, with his entire family involved!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiyuan’s gaze sharpened like a knife, sweeping across all the elders, deacons, and alchemists present. His imposing aura was very strong and intimidated the entire audience.
“Do you all still remember this?”
“We will obey the patriarch’s orders! We swear to keep this a secret until we die!”
Everyone bowed in unison, their voices solemn and clear, echoing throughout the alchemy workshop. Nobody dared harbor even the slightest bit of disapproval.
Ling Xiyuan turned his head and looked at David again, his eyes were sincere and his tone was frank: “Chaos is coming, the old order is collapsing, and the sky is about to be overhauled.”
Si Lu and Xuan Qiu were already on the verge of death, barely alive. What I am betting on is not short-term gains or losses, but rather the future of my young master, and the rebirth of my Lingxi family.
“From now on, I, Lingxi, will follow Young Master David’s example.”
Looking at Ling Xiyuan who was completely obedient and treated him sincerely, David raised the corners of his lips, revealing a faint but sincere smile.
In this turbulent world of the Twenty-Five Heavens, he finally put his most important first part.
