After this surprise attack, the defenses on Fuyu Island were reinforced a hundredfold. Dongfang Qingqi led his disciples in flying back and forth over a hundred li radius with Sword Control, confirming that there were no more suspicious characters, before returning to the island. He then arranged for the island's disciples to form small teams to take turns patrolling the perimeter; upon spotting anything suspicious, they were to report back immediately.
Chu Lei and a few other Sect Leaders did not rest either, helping to inspect the island's casualties, count the number of people, and were so busy that they didn't even have time for meals.
Xuanji and the others were all more or less injured, which is why no one assigned them any tasks. As evening approached, they each managed to sneak past the island's strict surveillance and flew to Fuyu Town with Sword Control.
