The Great Thousand Palace's Supreme Elder Council, far away on the Central Continent, held several urgent discussions. In the end, they could only grit their teeth and accept Wen Qingxuan's status as Demon Slayer King.
The third Demon Slayer King in the history of the Great Thousand World had been born.
For the Northern Region Wen Clan, a newly risen superpower with a weak foundation that had emerged over the past ten thousand years, this was a cause for immense joy and glory, as if heaven itself had lent them a hand.
The most immediate effect was that the Mobei Wu Clan, which had been competing with them for supremacy over the continent, began playing dead and pulled back all its forces as soon as it heard the "dire news."
Wen Qingxuan was the Wen Clan's Phoenix Girl, the next clan head whom they had painstakingly nurtured. She had also inherited the legacy of the ancient powerhouse Spirit Butterfly Pill Immortal, along with the Azure Moon Divine Flame.
But with the title of Demon Slayer King in hand, she could easily take control of the Northern Region Wen Clan.
Just as the Wen Clan beauty, her heart full of gratitude and tangled with all manner of other emotions, was planning to find an opportunity to "feed herself to the tiger," Mu Chen announced his departure.
At the edge of the Saint Abyss Continent, several groups prepared to go their separate ways.
One group consisted of the Daoist Sect's sacred ground, Mandala, Mu Chen, and Long Xiang.
The Buddha Ancient Clan's forces were mixed among them, with all three Main Branches represented.
Another group was the Northern Region Wen Clan: the Supreme Elder, Wen Clan River Matriarch; Wen Qingxuan; Wen Ziyu; and seven or eight Earth Sovereign experts accompanying them.
