In the battle for Shadow City, the Dragon Slaying Army, Melting Dao Lord, and the incarnations of two supporting Celestial Venerables disappeared.
Even Azure Lake Mountain could no longer contact those three Celestial Venerables. Their stars seemed to have vanished without a trace, not making the slightest sound.
Lin Xin brought the Origin Free Peaceful Tranquility Art, Xing Pengfei, and half of Shadow City's Treasure Vault and information jade slips, directly teleporting back to the Netherworld.
He began treating Xing Pengfei's injuries. At the same time, he needed to detoxify Lin Yaoyang.
The latest battle report also arrived from the great war zone. The Buddha Child had finally made his move.
One of the Great Sages whom he had trapped in Shadow City had finally lost his mind completely, utterly becoming a protector of the Buddhist Domain and following behind him with unswerving devotion.
The moment the news emerged, the world was thrown into an uproar.
Unlike Lin Xin's side, Xing Pengfei's contract had not been made public, so no one knew that Lin Xin had brought a Shadow City Great Sage with him while returning.
From then on, people from the Heavenly Alliance stepped forward to take over Shadow World.
A vast cake of benefits awaited division. Great numbers of Heavenly Alliance factions poured into Shadow World like a pack of wolves, beginning to gnaw away at its native powers.
Lin Xin did not concern himself with any of that. He was only responsible for eliminating the hardest bones to chew, then taking Shadow City's finest assets and leaving directly.
As for Shadow World's future benefits, if those Heavenly Alliance lineages and factions could win them, they could have them. If they could not, they could retreat on their own.
None of it had anything to do with him.
