Zhou Xu received no response. In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yu's figure vanished completely from his field of vision, leaving Zhou Xu with a faint sense of melancholy.
It felt like his son had run away from home, leaving his old father wistful and hollow.
However, Zhou Xu did not remain melancholy for long. After all, he was an emperor now, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.
He was not worried about Xuan Yu's safety, either. Judging from the situation at the time, that kid seemed to have broken through at that very moment.
When Xuan Yu had still been at the peak of the Saint Realm, he had relied on his ability to fly, his fierce speed, and his golden-red flames to contend with the Undying General of the Vertical and Horizontal Realm and the Undying Monarch of the Out-of-Body Realm.
After breaking through to the Out-of-Body Realm, his strength could only have grown even greater.
The only question was what that kid was thinking now, and when he would return.
Meanwhile, at the mountainside camp, with the battle completely over, work there soon returned to normal as well. The members of the department responsible for preventing and controlling desertification quickly returned.
Although they had been mentally prepared when they evacuated in such haste, the moment he saw the scorched earth before him, the minister could not hold back. His nose stung, and he burst into tears on the spot.
"Everything's gone. It's all gone!"
The department members also reddened their eyes one after another, unable to control themselves.
Only they knew how much sweat and effort they had poured into this land.
And now, it was all gone!
Li Ce, standing nearby, felt as though something were stuck in his throat and thorns pricked his back.
