"What's that sound?"

Kneeling on the ground, the Tomb Guardians raised their heads, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as they looked at Zhang Xiaoshan.

Feng Qing, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly froze his smile.

Jiang Qin, who was crying bitterly, was stunned, her previously despairing eyes now showed a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the clan leader of the Tomb Guardians and said with a chuckle.

"No need to doubt; it's really me. Your Sword Tomb's master has already been suppressed by me."

"From now on, this Sword Tomb is completely devoid of its name and existence."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the clan leader of the Tomb Guardians was momentarily stunned and then hurriedly kowtowed.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, your divine skills are vast. I had predicted you could defeat the Sword Tomb's master. Congratulations, truly an occasion worth celebrating."

"The master of the Sword Tomb has completely dissipated. The items within the Sword Tomb have been taken away. So, what are we to do as Tomb Guardians?"

"What's the point of our existence now?"

A sense of confusion appeared on everyone's faces.

One by one, puzzled eyes turned toward the clan leader.

After all, the clan leader is everyone's leader.

The clan leader also looked embarrassed.

"Since birth, I've been told to guard the Sword Tomb my entire life, but now that the Sword Tomb no longer exists, I don't know what we should do."

"Let me show you the way."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan spoke.

The eyes of the Tomb Guardians turned toward Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan said.

"The Slaughter Sword Lord isn't a good person. His Divine Soul getting obliterated might not be a bad thing. If released, he would undoubtedly cause disaster."

"You've guarded him for generations, fulfilling the duty to your ancestors. Now that he's gone, the shackles on you have naturally disappeared."

"Why not venture outside? Follow me and work for me; I will treat you well."

"What?"

The crowd hesitantly looked at the clan leader.

They've lived here all their lives, surviving primitively like savages. Some, like the old rogue, left because they couldn't bear it. If given a chance to see the outside world, they certainly wanted to experience it.

The clan leader of the Tomb Guardians knew what Zhang Xiaoshan intended.

Though their strength wasn't high, they were part of the heritage of sword cultivators. In today's declining world of cultivation, they were considered skilled practitioners. Especially the clan leader, with his Qi Transformation Cultivation, he could be a top expert outside.

With their assistance, Zhang Xiaoshan would find many things more convenient.

It meant they would become servants to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, this..."

The clan leader seemed to want to decline.

"Whoosh."

In the next moment, the Sword Nourishing Gourd appeared in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand.

Words of refusal from the clan leader suddenly stopped.

Zhang Xiaoshan played with the Sword Nourishing Gourd and spoke.

"You've shown me disrespect and discovered my secret. According to the rules of the world, I should kill you. The only way to spare your lives is to become one of us."

"If you force me, though I don't wish to act cruelly, I might have no choice."

He seemed ready to activate the Sword Nourishing Gourd.

"No, no, no."

The clan leader had just witnessed the ferocity of the Sword Nourishing Gourd. If Zhang Xiaoshan activated it, their entire Tomb Guardians clan would be wiped out.

Recognizing the situation was wise.

Surrender was their only choice.

"Miracle Doctor Zhang, I am willing to lead my people to serve you."

The clan leader knelt.

The other clan members followed suit.

"I, as a Tomb Guardians clan member, am willing to submit to Miracle Doctor Zhang."

"Good."

Zhang Xiaoshan merrily put away the Sword Nourishing Gourd and said lightly.

"Let's make it clear: this is voluntary on your part; I haven't forced you."

The clan leader cursed inwardly but smiled outwardly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I willingly lead my clan to surrender to you."

"Good."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the clan leader of the Tomb Guardians and said.

"Rest assured, I won't make you toil like beasts or be my slaves. I just want you to serve as guards and instructors, helping me train my people."

"I guarantee you will all enjoy a modern life, much happier and more fulfilling than now, and live like humans."

"However, let me warn you: whoever betrays me will not be spared."

As he spoke, he imprinted a Divine Thought Imprint onto the clan leader's body.

"I will surely serve you with all my might."

The clan leader felt fear and hurriedly pledged loyalty again.

"Boom."

Zhang Xiaoshan punched fiercely.

The stone at the exit shattered, revealing the way out.

"You may go, organize yourselves, and take your loved ones to experience the modern life. I'll give you half a month. After half a month, enter Yang City of Qin Province in batches to find a man named Baldy Liu at the White Dragon Association. He will lead you to find me."

"Yes."

The Tomb Guardians clan quickly left.

"Stop."

Just then, Zhang Xiaoshan shouted sharply.

At the end of the crowd, a figure dashed, seemingly trying to escape from the cave.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Zhang Xiaoshan grabbed through the air, and the figure was immediately dragged back and dropped heavily on the ground.
