"I'm going into seclusion!"
After making this solemn announcement, Zhang Yang handed control of the Sword Immortal Grand Camp to He Yimou, Wu County, and Guan Shan. Qu Shang and Tao Yao had to follow him into the Evil Dream Sea battlefield to prevent any accidents, while Zhao Baiyi had to remain in the Dream Divine Kingdom outside to handle daily patrols and vigilance.
Although, in theory, no accidents could possibly happen. After all, thirty Sky-Plundering Sword Arrays were on duty every day. They could lock onto a target within one second, fire within three, and in four seconds wipe out every invading enemy, from Chicken Leg Ancient God down to the tiniest minion.
Usually, Zhang Yang, this joke-obsessed Dao Ancestor, never handled specific affairs anyway. So in practice, whether he went into seclusion or not truly made no difference.

This place was already beyond the Dream Divine Kingdom's daily patrol range. After making a brief inspection, Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction. Zhao Baiyi handled matters flawlessly. He was mild-tempered and meticulous—a rare talent
