Above the gray fog

Human Sect.

When the news of Lin Shan's return spread throughout the sect, a jubilant scene of people telling each other about the good news immediately unfolded.

The disciples of the sect went to the big square inside the sect to share the "inside story" of Lin Shan's return with other fellow disciples.

The square was bustling with people, and the disciples were talking excitedly and passing on the good news to each other.

Some disciples held the notice issued by the sect in their hands and couldn't wait to show it to others, with joy on their faces, while some disciples gathered together and kept discussing the impact and significance of Lin Shan's return.

The elders with higher seniority watched quietly on the side, watching these young disciples full of energy and enthusiasm. They all knew in their hearts that the situation of Lin Shan's return this time was not optimistic.

The human race is no longer the low-key small tribe, but the leader of Sansheng Mountain and even the entire Seven Mountains and Nine Lands. The words of the human race have a certain status everywhere.

From occupying absolute dominance to having a certain status today.

It is because all the former pioneers of the human race have left.

Without the support of the pioneers, the status of the twin leaders of the human race is in name only, but the prestige they established before is enough to maintain the current order.

It is precisely because they were completely led by the pioneers before that the return of the pioneer Lin Shan at this moment makes everyone dare not neglect it.

The prestige established by the pioneers cannot be erased in a hundred years.

In a luxuriously decorated hall.

"You are really the pioneer Lin Shan." Xiaoli widened her eyes and looked at the old man sitting on the soft seat. The old man in front of her, who would be out of breath after just a few steps, turned out to be the legendary pioneer Lin Shan of the human race...

The pioneer Lin Shan opened a store selling everything at the foot of the mountain. By chance, she became an employee of the store.

Xiaoli shook her head. All this seemed too dreamy. She even felt like she was dreaming.

"What's so strange about the pioneer? Didn't the human clan have several pioneers before?" Lin Shan said hoarsely. He leaned on the back of the soft seat and tried his best to recover his physical strength.

Zhang Zhonghua and his companions have only been away from Gemini for more than a hundred years. For the Gemini generation, pioneers are not particularly rare.

"I followed Master Huang Ying before, and I have also had contact with other pioneers, but you are really a legend among legends for the disciples of the Human Sect."

"Anyone who has been to school knows that the pioneer Lin Shan is the strongest person in the human race. He has repeatedly turned the tide and pulled the human race out of the brink of destruction. Later, in order to protect the human race in his hometown, he decided to stay in the human circle alone. We all know about your deeds."

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded gently, without any other reaction.

"Why didn't you return to the Human Sect as soon as you came to Gemini?" Xiaoli asked curiously.

"I've been back before."

"That's right. Even if a strong man like you returns to the Human Sect, I may not be able to see him." Xiaoli was dejected, and then asked cautiously, "You hide your identity at the foot of the mountain. Are you trying to secretly protect the Human Sect? Are you exposing your identity this time to save me?"

"You have too many questions. It's giving me a headache." Lin Shan closed his eyes, and his faint words entered Xiaoli's ears.

"Woo..." Hearing this, Xiaoli quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

Jiuqi turned around in the hall, picked up some ornaments and observed them left and right. He was really bored.

"How do you feel?" Jiuqi looked at Lin Shan and asked, gently putting the vase in his hand into the secret compartment.

"What?" Lin Shan tilted his head and looked back at Jiuqi.

"The reaction of the human race, it seems that they have not forgotten you, and it is quite different from what you think." Jiuqi smiled.

"The human race living under the protection of the pioneers will never dare to forget the pioneers!" Xiaoli argued, and then seemed to think of something, his expression dim, "Except for the pioneer Huang Ying... Why? Why did they forget the pioneer Huang Ying?"

"Before, the human race was ruled by Huang Ying, right?" Lin Shan asked casually.

"Master Huang Ying is the leader of the human sect, and the other pioneers are ranked as the supreme elders. Everything in the human sect is managed by the pioneers." Xiaoli said.

"You just said... the people in the sect have forgotten Huang Ying, but suddenly a position for the leader is vacant, aren't they surprised?" Lin Shan was curious, he didn't understand how these memories disappeared from people's hearts.

"It's strange, it caused a lot of chaos at the time, everyone felt like something was missing in their hearts, but they couldn't remember it, and it was finally suppressed by the elders. Later, a new leader was elected, and everything returned to peace." Xiaoli sighed, "Everyone forgot, why am I the only one who remembers? Is this a gift or a punishment?"

"Why didn't those elders make the truth about the disappearance of the pioneer Huang Ying public?" Lin Shan asked.

"The elders also don't remember anything." Xiaoli shook his head, "It's like a space suddenly became empty, no one remembers it, only I kept reminding them that Huang Ying's pioneer disappeared, but they didn't believe me, and even thought I was possessed by evil spirits. What makes me most uncomfortable is... many people have forgotten my existence."

"I was also deprived of my original identity and even driven away..."

"Even if those elders of the human clan don't know, they can still look at the clan artifacts. Don't they believe the records on the clan artifacts?" Lin Shan frowned.

"I don't know either." Xiaoli shook his head slowly.

"Are you Huang Ying's adopted daughter?" Lin Shan looked at Xiaoli again.

Xiao Li nodded, "Well, I was originally an orphan in a city in Huaxia Country, and it was Huang Ying who adopted me."

"Well." Lin Shan hummed softly, without speaking, but thinking in his heart, Xiao Li was forgotten by others, most likely because she and Huang Ying were too deeply entangled.

At this time, a sword light suddenly flew outside the hall, and a woman in a green robe walked in quickly, "Lin Xianfeng, the banquet is ready, please take a seat."

"Sister Guang." Seeing the green-clothed woman coming in, Xiao Li shouted with some surprise.

"Who are you?" The green-clothed woman turned to look at Xiao Li, with a puzzled look on her face, "Do we know each other?"

Xiao Li's face turned pale, and he said a little aggrievedly, "No... I don't know..."

"Well." The green-clothed woman nodded slightly, turned around and led the way for Lin Shan, "Please follow me."

Under the leadership of the green-clothed woman, Lin Shan and others came to the venue of the banquet.

This banquet was prepared by Lin Shan for the current leader of the Ren Clan. All the high-ranking members of the Ren Clan were present. However, there were too many disciples to attend, so they could only select representatives to enter.

Lin Shan's purpose was obvious. He wanted his next announcement to spread throughout the Ren Clan, and even to the Huaxia country down the mountain.
