After Xuan Heng arrived at Jade Purity Peak, the Three Pure Ones were already waiting for him in Jade Void Palace.
The Three Pure Ones had clearly sensed long ago that he had returned to Kunlun, yet none of them had sent a message to urge him along.
After entering the hall, Xuan Heng first bowed to his three elder brothers.
Tongtian glanced at him and smiled. "You were gone for several hundred years, yet you caused quite a stir. How are things in the East Sea now?"
"The Human Race members we rescued can already support themselves, so I no longer need to worry over them too much. And I must thank Third Brother as well. Duobao and the others came to help me, saving me quite a bit of effort."
Xuan Heng looked at Tongtian as he spoke.
"Hehe, it was a small matter. Gold Turtle Island is close to your place to begin with. Seeing you struggle, I sent them to lend a hand.

Helping is fine, but they must not use it to coerce or enslave the Human Race."
Tongtian waved a hand as he spoke.
