Ye Zhu had lost.
The news spread throughout the Three Purities Daoist Gate at incredible speed.
Everyone was talking about the Academy's Chief Disciple.
But the Academy's Chief Disciple whom everyone was discussing was now cultivating in seclusion on an unremarkable little mountain peak.
This peak was where Gong Yue lived.
Gong Yue, Yin Honghua, and the others were not actually all that surprised that Chu Kuangren had defeated Ye Zhu.
After all, back in the Qinglan Immortal Realm, he had all but steamrolled the younger generation, with no one his equal. They had long grown used to it.
What surprised them more was that Chu Kuangren had made the Three Purities Daoist Gate suffer such a tremendous loss, yet it could only swallow it in silence.
That shocked them far more than his defeat of Ye Zhu.
"The Gods and Devils lineage..."
"What a terrifying backing."
Gong Yue shook her head and sighed.
She did not know much about the cultivators of this lineage. Only after making inquiries over the past few days had she learned how terrifying it was.
Only then had she learned that this was Chu Kuangren's true backing.
As for Beiming, who had appeared earlier, he had already vanished. He had been formed from a strand of Gods and Devils Qi and could not remain for long.
"Master, the King has been in seclusion for several days now. Could he have been injured during his battle with Ye Zhu?" Yin Honghua asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. Boss is so powerful. He's definitely fine."
Little Fox spoke from beside her.
"That's right, Honghua. You needn't worry. We all saw that battle. Fellow Daoist Chu wasn't injured at all. He must have his reasons for going into seclusion now," Gong Yue said with a smile.
Injured?
Right now,
