In a secluded forest.
Xu Nian stood upright on the surface of the forest's lake.
The calm, mirror-like surface of the lake reflected Xu Nian's tall figure.
The atmosphere around was exceptionally serene and peaceful.
A whole month had passed since the battle outside the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
The various factions had long since departed.
The Artifact Refining Sect Elders and others had already returned to the Artifact Refining Sect.
The Black Hou, along with the three Demon Saints, had returned to the Demon Beast Forest, seemingly to meet with the king of the Demon Beast Forest.
Xu Nian wasn't interested in this.
He had said before that he did not constrain the Black Hou's freedom, so whatever the Black Hou did, Xu Nian did not inquire.
As for Chen Wudi and the others, they were led back to the Commandery City by Chen Tiansheng.
Now that Chen Tiansheng had broken through to the Semi-Saint Realm, it should be no problem for him to take back control of East Field County.
