Legend has it that after a cultivator breaks through to the Saint Level, they will merge with their inner world and become part of the Chaotic Void.
Therefore, the death of Saint Level cultivator is very different from that of an ordinary cultivator. Even if their physical body perishes, as long as the small world they reside in within the chaos remains intact, they can be reborn and resurrected within that small world.
To truly kill Saint Level cultivator, one must destroy their inner world as well. The black hole that Chu Xuanzi transformed into is his collapsing inner world.
This phenomenon is known in ancient texts as " Return to the Ruins," a wondrous sight that only appears after the death of Sage.
"Is it snowing?"
Within Iron Soul City, some residents discovered that countless points of light were falling from the sky. These points of light landed on them, making them feel incredibly comfortable, and even increasing their cultivation levels.
"No! It's the Saint's Fall! Sage Return to the Ruins..."
A few learned cultivators realized what was happening and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It was the first time they had experienced such a legendary phenomenon, and they were utterly shocked.
Heaven and earth resonated, the Great Dao grieved together, and even faint chanting could be heard in the air. This was the Return to the Ruins of the Sage to the abyss, and even the domain of the Manju Sacred King could not stop this strange phenomenon.
"It seems I have to leave! Chu Xuan's Return to the Ruins has caused too much trouble; I'm afraid the people on the Extreme Evil side will become restless."
"Mingye, would you like to come back to the capital with me?"
As expected of one of the three great holy kings, the Manju Sacred King completely obliterated Chu Xuanzi's small world in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, returning it to chaos.
Mingye glanced at Chen Mu subconsciously, and seeing Chen Mu nod, he continued, "I'm willing, but I want to finish dealing with the matters in Iron Soul City before I leave. Those Yin Baleful Intent Sect people..."
"Don't worry about that, I'll have Mo Kesha stay behind to deal with them."
Manju Sacred King added.
Mo Kesha had been the Yin Baleful Intent Sect for so many years, and his strength was beyond doubt. If Chu Xuanzi hadn't suddenly emerged from seclusion, no one in the entire Yin Baleful Intent Sect would have been able to suppress him.
Now that even Chu Xuanzi has been killed by the Manju Sacred King, how could the remaining people dare to resist? Mo Kesha has plenty of ways to deal with them.
Seeing that Mingye was still hesitant, Chen Mu realized that she was probably worried about him, so he took the initiative to speak.
" Mingye, you shall go with Her Manju!"
I'll stay here to settle the people in Iron Soul City, and then I'll go to the capital to find you immediately. You don't need to worry."
Seeing Chen Mu's words, Mingye had no choice but to nod and fly to Manju Sacred King's side.
The Manju Sacred King looked at Mingye, then glanced at Chen Mu, smiled meaningfully, but said nothing more. With a wave of his hand, a strange power swept up Mingye, and the two of them disappeared into light and shadow.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Haha, Chen Mu, I will punish all those who came to the Yin Baleful Intent Sect to cause trouble today."
Especially this Fang Yin, I will personally carry out the execution, so that he will be utterly destroyed, body and soul.
The Yin Stone and treasures they possess are now offered as compensation for the damage to Iron Soul City. Please accept them with gratitude.
Mo Kesha was old and shrewd. He didn't actually know the specific relationship between Manju Sacred King and Mingye before, but now that he did, his attitude towards Chen Mu immediately became much more attentive.
The Manju Sacred King has no other children; Mingye is currently the only princess of the Manju Imperial Court, and Chen Mu's relationship with Mingye is clearly extraordinary, making it worthwhile for him to make an effort to befriend her.
Chen Mu was in a hurry to go to the Manju Imperial Palace to find Mingye, so he didn't argue with Mo Kesha. He nodded and accepted Mo Kesha's compensation, then let them leave.
After the Yin Baleful Intent Sect members left, Chen Mu returned to Iron Soul City, mobilized robots to repair the town's defenses, reassured the city's residents, and handled everything in an orderly manner.
As Dusk fell, Chen Mu finally finished dealing with everything and prepared to set off for the Manju Imperial Capital.
"Chief, the capital is a long way away. Why don't you take Shi Xing and Han Xiao with you?"
With them around, they can also help you with some trivial matters.
As they were setting off, Li Wei offered Chen Mu some advice.
Chen Mu could tell that Shi Xing and Han Xiao Manju Imperial Capital, and since Iron Soul City was safe now, he finally agreed to take them with him.
"Alright, this journey will also give you some training, so you won't slack off while staying in Iron Soul City."
Chen Mu said with a smile.
Han Xiao and Shi Xing were very excited and immediately went down to organize the team.
In the battle against Chu Xuanzi, both teams suffered some losses, but the Iron Soul City had a sufficient number of reserves, and they quickly replenished the personnel of both teams.
At night, two well-equipped and highly trained combat teams pierced the night sky and marched in a mighty procession toward the Manju Imperial Capital.
With their current strength, the wilderness at night is no longer a terrifying hell, but a fertile ground for training. They fight their way forward, enjoying the process.
Three days later.
"If you go three kilometers further ahead, you will reach the Manju Imperial Capital."
Now put away your weapons, rest where you are, and get rid of the smell of blood on your bodies.
When you see the city defense troops later, remember to conceal your murderous aura to avoid any misunderstandings, understand?
"Shi Xing commanded."
"Yes!"
The two squadrons obeyed orders without question and immediately began to carry out Shi Xing's commands.
Chen Mu, who was observing nearby, nodded to himself, greatly appreciating Shi Xing's unconventional leadership style.
After three days of fierce fighting, the soldiers of Iron Soul City were covered in a strong smell of blood and killing intent. If they were to rush to the Manju Imperial Capital like this, they would easily clash with the defending troops.
If Han Xiao were here, he would never have thought of this, thus creating unnecessary trouble.
In this light, bringing both of them along was indeed a wise decision.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Iron Soul City soldiers had adjusted their condition and continued their march towards the Manju Imperial Capital.
"Stop! Who are you people?"
When they arrived at the city gates of the capital, the garrison commander personally came out to stop them and demanded their travel documents.
"We are troops from Iron Soul City, which is under the jurisdiction of Nine Yama Royal City. This is our official document."
Shi Xing produced the official document from Iron Soul City, which was issued by Nine Yama City. Generally, legitimate human settlements would receive official documents issued by their superior royal cities, so there was no forgery involved.
What brings you to the capital?
The garrison commander was secretly alarmed, because he could see that the two troops in front of him were strong and brave, and could not be trained by ordinary forces.
"We have come to request an audience with Her Majesty Manju."
Chen Mu stepped forward and answered the question posed by the garrison leader.
The garrison commander glanced at Chen Mu with surprise, but dared not say anything and let them in.
"Okay, you can go in now!"
Remember not to cause trouble in the city; we will be watching you.
Chen Mu's entry into the city with his legion was bound to attract the attention of the garrison; his warning was merely a routine duty.
