Having witnessed Xu Yi step out, everyone present fell to their knees in unison to pay their respects without waiting for Jiang Zhun to bow. Though the person had changed, the unique presence of the Shao Yi Righteous Immortal was enough for everyone below Jiang Zhun to recognize him clearly.
The Shao Yi Righteous Immortal had no need to explain the ins and outs to his subordinates. He was eager to return to his cave abode and enter seclusion. Though the possession had succeeded, it had been launched suddenly, leaving his body and mind utterly exhausted. He needed to recover as quickly as possible through closed-door cultivation.
After the Shao Yi Righteous Immortal left, Jiang Zhun arranged for the Internal Affairs Office to repair the Extreme Yin Hall, then went to inspect the Extreme Yin Furnace. His heart ached so badly he nearly wept: almost none of the Yin energy inside remained.
"That damned Zhong Ruyi. He deserved to be possessed." After muttering to himself, Jiang Zhun put on an expression that was neither yin nor yang and started to leave, but Song Nuan stopped him. At a time like this, Song Nuan could naturally see the new problem, but the old one still hadn't been resolved.
"Envoy Jiang, what are we supposed to do? Ji Ying sent that fellow here to test us. Now the man himself is gone. Can we still trust Ji Ying? This is going to blow up." Song Nuan was anxious and vexed.
Jiang Zhun said coldly, "Enough. The Righteous Immortal himself cut off the lead. If he doesn't give the word, where are you going to find another one? All right, I don't think the sky is going to fall." As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening boom rang out in the sky.
