Thinking of this, he turned to the black dragon clan members who had been following him and said:

"It's fine for you to come along, and it's fine for you to come to our homeland together, but you must swear that you will not harm our friends in our homeland, and that you are willing to stand up and fight together against the enemy when our homeland is in danger."

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragons' previously dejected faces suddenly lit up with a gleaming light, and they nodded repeatedly, saying:

“We are willing, as long as the adults let us follow them, we will do anything they ask. Let alone these oaths.”

"Yes, yes, we'll swear it right away."

After they finished speaking, everyone took an oath:

"We, the Black Dragon Clan, hereby swear that after arriving at your homeland with you, we will not harm the people there or your friends. We will take the initiative to fight in the event of danger and protect our homeland together. If we violate this oath, we beseech the Heavenly Court to punish us and condemn us to eternal damnation."

As soon as they finished speaking, a golden light flashed across their bodies, disappearing in an instant.

That must be the rule of Heaven.

Zero nodded, agreeing that they could follow him.

After swearing the oath, the Black Dragon Clan seemed to have some kind of guarantee, and they started chirping and chattering like little magpies again:

"My lord, my lord, I still don't know your honorable name?"

"zero."

"So it's Lord Zero. How old are you, Lord Zero?"

"twenty."

"My God, sir, you...you're only twenty!?"

The person asking the question exclaimed in surprise, seemingly unable to believe that Ling was only twenty years old.

"What are you surprised about? Someone like Lord Ling must be exceptionally talented, possessing such great strength at such a young age!"

"That's right, that's right! We've benefited from Lord Zero's influence!"

"Um... what about my older brother?"

Someone seemed to be thinking of their older brother and couldn't help but mention it.

"Big brother? Let's not even talk about where big brother is right now. If we find big brother, I think... even big brother will have to acknowledge Lord Ling as his big brother!"

"..."

Zero was a little annoyed and regretted letting them join the team...

What Zero didn't know was that she wasn't actually that age, but that's a story for another time...

He led the Black Dragon Clan toward their homeland, while the Black Dragon Clan members chattered incessantly.

"My lord, is the home we're going to built on this land?"

"Um."

"My lord, is the estate big enough for us to live in?"

"That's enough."

"My lord, my lord..."

Throughout the journey, the Black Dragon Clan kept asking Ling all sorts of questions, which drove Ling crazy.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down!"

Zero finally lost his temper and interrupted the noisy group, lowering his voice and shouting at them to be quiet.

Upon hearing this angry shout, the Black Dragon Clan members dared not utter a sound.

They all knew that the young man in front of them, now in his twenties, was actually a powerful figure with profound strength, someone they, as insignificant nobodys, couldn't afford to offend. If they angered him, he probably wouldn't let them follow him anymore, even though they had already sworn an oath...

Zero nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Everyone, keep following me! We'll be there soon."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly followed, except for one person.

The Black Dragon Clan members noticed the unusual behavior of their companions and couldn't help but ask:

"Gu'an, what's wrong?"

The man named Gu'an frowned, tugged at the sleeve of the man who had called him, and pointed around, saying:

"Doesn't this place feel familiar?"

Upon hearing this, the man followed the gesture and looked in the direction indicated. He exclaimed "Eh!" and said directly:

"Now that you mention it, I've noticed too. We seem to have been here before..."

What are you talking about?

Hearing the discussion, someone nearby also came closer, wanting to join in.

"Hey, you've come at the right time. Look around here, does anything seem familiar?"

The newcomer looked over in confusion, and upon seeing what was happening, his eyes widened in surprise. He exclaimed:

"Isn't this the place we passed through before? That lush, green place. But that place, doesn't it look like a home?"

!

His words startled everyone.

Yes, I didn't look at that place carefully before. I only knew that people lived there and it was quite prosperous. Now that I think about it, wouldn't that place be called a "homeland"?

Oh my god...

Could the place that Lord Zero took them to be...?

They suddenly had a guess—

The place they went to before was Lord Zero's "home".

Now look what's happened. They treated Zero's friends that way before, and although they didn't actually harm them, they still offended him.

If they go back together later, I wonder if the adults will blame them...

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

This anxiety lasted until they reached their destination.

-------------------------------------

"Brother Chenxin, Ling and Ziyou are back. Should we go and pick them up?"

Ye Hao, with his sharp eyes, spotted Ling from the observation deck and immediately shared his joy with Chen Xin.

At that moment, he was as happy as a child who had received candy, completely disoriented.

Seeing him like this, Xuanqing and Xuanjiu couldn't help but mutter:

"Just a few days ago, he looked at our sect leader like he was an enemy. Why is he so friendly now?"

"Could it be because Lord Zero is back, and you want to make a good impression on him?"

Of course, Xuanqing and Xuanjiu's words were just a joke and not meant to be malicious.
