"This is not a totem."
Yun Xiu lifted her head, facing the fluttering black banner, her face filled with unconcealable pride: "This is the surname of the guardian deities of the various tribes on the grasslands. Wherever this banner soars, the clans of Chengzhou dare not press you further."
The simple-hearted members of the Canglang Clan cheered upon hearing the celestial being's explanation.
After that day, a new flag with black background and golden characters appeared on the grasslands, spreading as far as the farmlands extended at the foot of Tianshan.
And just as it was said, the noble families of Chengzhou really did stay away at the sight of the banner; the anticipated retribution never came.
When the various tribes of the grassland saw the Canglang Clan growing crops and obtaining new protection, they flocked towards Tianshan.
The Wind Media scouts sent by Chengzhou stayed persistently outside the perimeter of the black banner, not daring to make a move.
