And Tian Dang's confident words had not been wrong...
In Central Heaven Divine Continent, the Gu Family had been crushed.
Over these three thousand years, the Shenyu Military Court had been beaten into utter collapse. The True Spirit Heavenly Dragon and True-Spirit Earth Tiger had protected Gu Shenyu as he fled in all directions. Word had it that he had escaped beyond the Nine Provinces and no longer dared return, while his prestige had plummeted to rock bottom.
The seven great divine clans of the Divine Continent had also been reduced to five, becoming remarkably quiet.
The disciples of the Fushi Sect were dumbfounded as well... Their in-laws had run away?!
Yet the Spirit Void Sacred Province had been managed rather well. It stood impregnable, its prestige still intact, and no army of cultivators dared assault its gates. However, grand, heaven-shaking arts were often unleashed across its skies; no one knew what they were doing.
Above a stretch of sea.
Several hundred weathered cultivators were scattered about. Wuji Zi sat cross-legged atop the waves, his expression somewhat helpless. "Gu Shenyu..."
Just as the other cultivators inwardly sighed, believing Wuji Zi was still "mourning" Gu Shenyu and preparing to praise his loyalty and righteousness in their hearts—
Wuji Zi slowly closed his eyes, as though suppressing something to the extreme, then ground out a sentence through clenched teeth:
"You fucking...!"
The cultivators: "..."
Gu Shenyu's plight was not much better than theirs. He fled in miserable panic, with countless pursuers on his heels. Had the Gu Family and Fushi Sect not held back those Immortals, he doubted he could have even made it out of the Nine Provinces' territory.
Before the great undertaking in his heart could be achieved... it had already perished halfway through.
Today.
