Return to New Sea Commandery

A month later, Liang Zhaohuang had settled all affairs in the Pearl Island Chain sea region and prepared to return to New Sea Commandery.

This time, he had come to the Pearl Island Chain sea region to replace Liang Ruiqin in holding the front lines. By rights, he should have remained stationed here for ten years, awaiting the next rotation after that.

Yet by now, he had been stationed here for only a little over a year, with more than eight years still remaining.

However, over this past year or so, the situation in the Pearl Island Chain sea region had changed dramatically.

The primary battlefield between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Country in the Eastern Sea had clearly shifted into the Myriad Demon Mystic Realm.

Moreover, over the past year, he had led the family disciples through battle after battle, repeatedly brushing past death within the Myriad Demon Mystic Realm.

He bore many injuries. His Five Viscera Gods needed to be nourished anew, his Five Elements Divine Needles needed repairing and refining again, and he had gained much within the mystic realm that needed to be slowly digested. Clearly, he was no longer suited to remain on the front lines and lead the fighting.

Furthermore, at this frontline position, the Liang Family now had three Golden Core True Persons present—himself, Liang Ruiqin, and Liang Ruijian. That was half of the Liang Family's current Golden Core True Persons. With the situation gradually stabilizing, that was undoubtedly too many, and there was no need for so many Golden Core True Persons to remain here.

New Sea Commandery and the family, on the other hand, had been left under the stewardship of his stepmother, Liu of the Liang Family. As the commandery governor, his prolonged absence was clearly inappropriate as well.
