On the last day of the Clear-Talk Assembly, there were no more major events or lectures on the Dao, and the schedule was fairly open.
Quite a few cultivators with pressing itineraries had already left the Taiyi Sect after the garden gathering in Moon-Worship River Valley.

Among them were Elder Wu Guan of Jun Mountain and Elder Yu Xiu of Black
