The Golden-Winged Peng and Ming Heguang's group had been brought directly back from the Ancestral Dragon Hall by the Haotian Mirror.
After transforming into the Ancestral Dragon Scale in the Zhaolin Realm and sealing the Supreme Heavenly Demon once more, the prodigies of each faction were taken away by their sect ancestors. After Ming Heguang's group bid farewell to Duan Chenguang's group, they were originally meant to be immediately brought back to the Mingjing Sect by the Haotian Mirror. Yet, one man and one bird came knocking instead.
The first was naturally the Golden-Winged Peng, in the form of a little girl with golden hair and blue eyes.
The second was Yu Feng.
The Golden-Winged Peng's reason was simple. Wholeheartedly wishing to follow An Jing, she instinctively followed Ming Heguang and the others, who carried the closest aura to An Jing's. In her muddled state, she was packed up by the Haotian Mirror and brought back to Beixuan Jizhou.
Yu Feng's circumstances were more complicated. He should have returned to his sect, but considering his special identity from his previous life as the "Tianyu Kingblood of the Dahuang Realm," as well as An Jing's countless, tangled connections to the Dahuang Realm, he considered the matter again and again before ultimately choosing to confess everything to the Haotian Mirror.
For a "Heavenly Dao Supernatural Ability wielder" carrying such vital intelligence, as well as a "person of fortune" clearly linked to the Dahuang Realm by karma, the Mingjing Sect naturally would not turn him away, and thus brought him back as well.
Now, Yu Feng had been taken away by Chenyinzi and True Monarch Yepo to be received and questioned about certain matters. Ming Heguang, meanwhile, brought the Golden-Winged Peng back to Mingguang Peak and left her for Gu Yeqi to handle.
