Golden Baleful Patriarch departed.
Only then did the tense atmosphere in the area truly ease.
The cultivators who had been itching to make a move all retreated in succession.
Golden Baleful Patriarch, Kunming, and Kong Yue—the three most powerful forces—had all chosen to leave.
No matter how much the remaining people coveted the treasures on Su Shi'er, they could not possibly get past the Moon Palace, Heavenly Palace, and Shenzhu Mountain Villa cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, streaks of light slashed across the starry river. The cultivators who had gathered nearby swiftly dispersed by more than half.
Xu Zhenyue slowly swept his gaze over the people behind him. Several Shenzhu Mountain Villa cultivators whose eyes had been darting about hastily lowered their heads.
"During the Qingyun Immortal Mansion expedition, have you all not gained enough already? If anyone still wishes to make a move, Xu Mou will not stop you."
"But from this day onward, do not call yourselves cultivators of Shenzhu Mountain Villa again!"
Xu Zhenyue's booming voice rang out. His tone was calm, yet several cultivators shuddered upon hearing it.
"Villa Master, your words are too severe. We absolutely had no such intention!"
The few hurriedly responded, their greed swiftly crushed down at that moment.

Everyone could still clearly distinguish the situation at hand.

Supported by Hu Meier, Su Shi'er slowly opened his eyes.
He had witnessed all the commotion from the clash just now.
Seeing Golden Baleful Patriarch and the cultivators from every side depart one after another, his mind, which had remained tightly strung, did not fully relax because of it.
Everything that had happened
