(This is one long chapter, so I won't be splitting it.)
On Yuanling Mountain, Fang Qingyuan had just returned to his courtyard after a month's absence. Before he could even enjoy a few days of peace, all sorts of matters came knocking.
"Mountain Master, the number of affiliated commoners from the Li Family is larger than we expected—around thirty thousand people. I've temporarily settled them in a valley twenty li from Yuanling Mountain. I'd like to ask for your guidance on how to proceed with the subsequent arrangements."
Liao Wenlamp was the first to approach him, bringing up the issue of the mortals who had been part of Jiuye Square's Li Family. These commoners, who were not of the Li bloodline, had all depended on their respective Immortal Masters for survival. However, during Fang Qingyuan's siege of the Li Family's Scripture Pavilion, the Head of the Li Family had led his men to kill some of these Immortal Masters. The ones who survived had all submitted to Fang Qingyuan.
