Yuan Tiangang looked at the slowly closing spatial rift, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes, but he did not pursue.
He could clearly sense that the rift contained the terrifying coercion of the Land Immortal Realm.
If he truly drove the other party into a corner and forcefully intervened, even with his formidable strength, he would inevitably pay a heavy price.
"Divination Absolute, was that just now...?" Di Yun stepped forward and asked with a solemn expression.
"Time standstill used by a Land Immortal," Yuan Tiangang replied.
"Since Zhuge Xiu was rescued by him, he will surely recover from his injuries before long. We let him off too easily this time," Di Yun said helplessly.
"Zhuge Xiu was rescued; it appears he saved his life, but in reality, his severe injuries will be hard to heal, and his divine soul has also suffered heavy damage."
"The power from just now forcefully tore open space and brought him into it, which was enough to damage his soul."
"Without soul-nurturing medicinal treasures over a millennium old, he will find it difficult to return to his peak in this lifetime, and even his Heavenly Human Realm cultivation will regress by a large margin."
Yuan Tiangang withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly, his voice carrying across the entire scene.
At these words, Di Yun, Linghu Chong, and the others all wore shocked expressions.
"Since the purpose of establishing our prestige has been achieved, we cannot stay here long."
Yuan Tiangang glanced around at the corpses and blood covering the ground, his tone steady. "Clean up the aftermath and prepare to evacuate."
Meanwhile, the crowd of onlookers on the surrounding pavilions had long since been in an uproar; all kinds of exclamations and discussions rose one after another, deafening.
"Good heavens! Did my eyes deceive me? Misty Rain Tower actually harbors a Heavenly Human Realm expert!"
"And his strength is far greater than the Qingyun Sect First Elder's!"
A watching cultivator grabbed his companion's arm in utter astonishment, his voice trembling, his nails almost sinking into the other person's flesh.
The companion beside him was also blank-faced and nodded instinctively.
"More than just strong! Didn't you see? Just now, the Qingyun Sect First Elder was kicked flying by him without even a chance to retaliate!"
"And look at that! When the spatial rift appeared just now, did any of you feel it? Time seemed to stand still for a few breaths!"
"That coercion... too terrifying, I felt like even my breathing stopped!"
Another cultivator hurried over, his face full of lingering fear.
"That was definitely a powerhouse of the Land Immortal Realm making a move! The foundation of the Qingyun Sect is truly unfathomable!"
"Nonsense! The Qingyun Sect is at least one of the top factions within the Eastern Region. How could it stand for so many years without even an old ancestor at the Land Immortal Realm?"
"Yet even so, the Qingyun Sect still crashed and burned! Misty Rain Tower really rubbed the Qingyun Sect's face on the ground this time!"
Inside the Wenxian Tower in Qingzhou City, Xingluo Yao slowly curled the corners of her lips at this moment.
A hint of amused interest flashed in her eyes. She gently waved her folding fan, her voice as crisp as a bell with a touch of playfulness.
"I didn't expect this! I really didn't expect that this Misty Rain Tower is truly extraordinary!"
"They actually forced the Qingyun Sect Old Ancestor to personally step in and save someone, leaving behind nothing more than a harsh remark. Truly interesting."
The maid beside her asked in a low voice, "Miss, with the Misty Rain Tower suddenly rising to prominence, will it affect our faction when we finally emerge into the world?"
"Affect?" Xingluo Yao chuckled softly. "Not necessarily! I rather think we can try to get on good terms with them. In this chaotic situation in the Eastern Region, having an extra friend is always a good thing."
With that, she turned and left, the hem of her skirt fluttering as she vanished by the window.
As the great battle came to an end, the other watching factions also quietly dispersed, filled with shock and apprehension.
The ultimate outcome of the battle between Misty Rain Tower and the Qingyun Sect was the victory of Misty Rain Tower.
Today's grand battle was destined to become the talk of Qingzhou City for the next few months or even years.
And the name of Misty Rain Tower would ring out like a sudden thunderclap across all of Qingzhou and even the entire Eastern Region!
On the battlefield, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, and the three others had already gone into action.
Moving as if on a leisurely stroll, they wove through the corpses of the Qingyun Sect elders and disciples, casually gathering up those storage rings and cosmos sacks one by one.
Among these items were spirit stones, elixirs, and cultivation techniques, all of which were no small harvest for Misty Rain Tower.
A moment later, the five men finished tallying the spoils of war, walked up to Yuan Tiangang, and bowed in salute. "Lord Yuan, everything has been cleared."
Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly, the Heavenly Human Realm coercion around his body suddenly expanding to form an invisible barrier that completely concealed everyone's aura.
"Let's go. Back to the Eternal Night Space."
As his words fell, Yuan Tiangang took the lead, with Di Yun, Linghu Chong, and the others following closely behind.
The figures of the group flickered like phantoms, silently melting into the night and disappearing down the ends of the streets of Qingzhou City.
Not a single person detected their tracks, as if this group of gods of slaughter who had just stirred up monstrous waves had never appeared at all.
Meanwhile, inside the Eternal Night Space, a crisp system notification suddenly rang in Ye Junlin's mind.
[Ding! Detected that the host has completed crushing the overt plots and schemes of the Qingyun Sect, annihilated the invading enemies, and raised the prestige of Misty Rain Tower—a subordinate faction of Eternal Night Heaven—causing various factions in Qingzhou not to dare underestimate it!] [Mission completed! Distributing rewards: 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, random Earth-tier martial art x1!]
Ye Junlin was sitting cross-legged on the grand hall. Hearing the system prompt, he abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of wild joy flashing through his gaze!
