The rift slowly closed, and the group vanished into the Wild Wilderness.
Only countless grim-faced people remained behind, silent for a long while.
Hun Yu stared at the sealing spatial rift, grinding his teeth hard enough to shatter them.
"Liu Bai, I'll remember this!"
He had gained nothing from this trip. He had failed to obtain the Bodhi Heart or the Bodhi Seeds, while even the opportunity for Enlightenment Under the Bodhi Tree had been monopolized by Liu Bai.
Once he returned, he would surely be punished by his clan.
He turned to the Soul Clan experts behind him and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
The Soul Clan members rose into the air one after another and followed Hun Yu away.
Xun Er looked back as well, then nodded and turned to leave.
The Ancient Clan members followed close behind, disappearing into the vast horizon.
The people from the other factions also dispersed, each harboring different thoughts as they left this land that filled them with both longing and despair.
The Wild Wilderness returned to its former silence.
The verdant Bodhi Ancient Tree stood upon the grasslands, watching everyone depart. The blurry face on its trunk seemed to carry a faint smile.
After leaving the Wild Wilderness, the group flew through the void for a while.
The North Dragon King's massive body tore through spatial rifts at incredible speed, reaching the borders of the Central Plains in just a few breaths.
Above a certain plain, the sky suddenly split open. A group flew out and landed upon a lush green meadow.
Liu Bai leaped from the dragon's back and turned toward Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran.
"Sect Master Yun, we'll see you off here. We need to return to Blood Fire Hall next, so we won't accompany you
