78 The Gift

In one short day, the landscape of the City of Qing had undergone a permanent transformation.

An alliance between the Fang and Qi Clans had launched an attack on the Ling Clan. Just as the Ling Clan was on the verge of defeat, a young man named Ling Xian descended from the Heavens to obliterate the advancing army and saved his Clan from the brink of destruction.

No one from the two Clans who stayed behind was spared. Of course, a few had managed to escape, but that was inconsequential.

The Fang and Qi Clans had been wiped off the map. The Ling Clan emerged as the single mightiest and noblest Clan in the City of Qing. The smaller Clans which took cover under the wings of the two now non-existent Clans quickly switched sides and pledged their loyalty to their new Master.

The Ling Clan was now the undisputed leader of the City.

One Clan, two foundational cultivators.
