Three months later!
Cloud Gate!
On the mountainside, inside a pavilion.
Lu Yunxiao sat quietly. The cool breeze stirred his hair and set his white robes fluttering in the wind.
He took a light sip of tea, a contented expression appearing on his face.
Three months had already passed since Yun Yun and the others entered seclusion.
Demonic Saint Essence Blood was by no means easy to refine. Even with Yun Yun and the others' considerable strength, it would still take quite some time.
As for Cloud Gate, after several rounds of urging from Lu Yunxiao, most of the resources and personnel that needed to be recalled had already returned.
Those remaining behind were all people stationed to guard Cloud Gate.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Sect far away in the Black Corner Region had grown quite powerful after several years of development.
Lu Yunxiao had transferred some people back from there, and Xiao Yu was among them.
After many years of diligent cultivation, Xiao Yu had reached the Dou Wang level.
She was now an eight-star Dou Wang.
Though that level was far from enough in Lu Yunxiao's eyes.
She was even far inferior to Han Yue and the two maids by his side who had already reached the Dou Emperor realm.
But this was already the result of Xiao Yu giving it her all.
Her talent had always been mediocre, and reaching her current cultivation was no easy feat.
Of course, even so, Xiao Yu was already the strongest expert of the Xiao Clan.
Other than Xiao Zhan, who had entered the one-star Dou Wang realm, the other elders were still struggling at the Dou Ling level.
Their strength was too weak and their talent too poor. Even with Cloud Gate's support, they remained fragile and insignificant.
