Just as the undercurrents started to surge in Autumn Wind County, they quickly subsided after the news of Master Xiu's death spread.
To everyone's surprise, Li Liangyu, the new head of the Li family, chose a conciliatory policy.
Upon reclaiming his power, he did not exterminate the Xiu family members.
He only executed some of the Xiu family members who had once humiliated the main family, while most of the others had their cultivation abolished, assets confiscated, and were driven away from Autumn Wind Mountain.
Moreover, he spared most of Master Xiu's direct descendants, reducing them to mortals.
Master Xiu, being not keen on pursuing romance, only took one wife, Li Family's daughter, who was Li Liangyu's great-grandmother.
Their descendants share half of the Li Family's bloodline.
