As for Qin Shujian's request...
Yan Caizhe did not refuse.
Now that they were returning to the capital, having one more or one fewer Array Dao Grandmaster would no longer change anything they were about to face.
Besides...
They had originally invited him over to deal with Gu Changqing.
If they asked him to do something else instead...
He was unlikely to agree.
So Yan Caizhe simply refrained from asking.
As for Qin Shujian...
He did not mention the remaining payment either. He had come to help the Imperial Court quell the rebellion, but they were returning to the capital before dealing with the rebels in Thousand Mountains Prefecture. Strictly speaking, he had not contributed all that much himself.
Besides, with something as momentous as the Human Emperor's death...
The Imperial Court might not even remember the outstanding payment.
As for that...
Qin Shujian could not be bothered to pursue it.
With three Xiantian Spirit Objects of High Grade Spirit Weapon quality in hand, this trip had not been a loss.
After bidding Yan Caizhe farewell...
Qin Shujian went straight through the Teleportation Gate and headed for the Liangshan Spirit Domain.
Accompanying him...
Was Su Mingyang.
At that moment...
The Liangshan Spirit Domain was also in chaos.
Or rather, the entire Northcloud Prefecture was in chaos.
The areas bordering the Endless Mountains encompassed far more than just the Liangshan Territory and the Rubble Forest, or even the Liangshan Spirit Domain alone.
Northcloud Prefecture lay on Great Zhao's border.
It was therefore bound to border the Endless Mountains.
This time, demonic beasts had poured out of the Endless Mountains, unleashing a monstrous beast tide that swept through countless regions. In a single day, innumerable sects had been destroyed, while the number of people killed or wounded by the beasts was impossible
