With the sandstorm finally abating, Li Qiu and his party hurriedly set off on their journey home.
However, the matter regarding Lingjun was difficult to resolve. Since waking up, even though he knew everyone at Huixian Cave had been killed, his hatred for the sect had not diminished in the slightest. Yet, he was only at Qi Condensation Level 8; without having reached Foundation Establishment, seeking revenge against the survivors of Huixian Cave was impossible. Nevertheless, he retrieved the severed heads of his Sect Leader, Ling Feng, and his master, Fan Zhao, declaring his intent to return to the Northern Highlands to bury them. He then swore a solemn oath to heaven and earth that he would revive the Hanyin Sect.
Li Qiu had initially wanted to bring him back to the Qingmu Sect out of sympathy. Since Lingjun’s sect no longer existed and everyone had been slaughtered by Huixian Cave, the stigma of being a sect traitor no longer applied. But Lingjun’s stubborn nature meant Li Qiu’s advice fell on deaf ears.
