Xuanzi reached the Shadow Palace and saw the carriage in which Licheng departed with Yuan and Master Tao. He looked for the chauffeur but did not find him there.
As a deity, Xuanzi effortlessly gained access to the Shadow Palace, allowing him to witness where his eldest brother had spent seven years for the first time.
"Why is Yuan here?" Xuanzi questioned himself as he felt his younger brother's energy. It was weak like a normal human. Following it, he reached a chamber and saw Yuan lying on the bed.
Concerned for Yuan's well-being, Xuanzi hurriedly approached Yuan and placed his hand on his chest, ensuring that nothing had happened to him. A wave of relief washed over him upon confirming Yuan's normal breathing.
"The demonic essence no longer exists there," Xuanzi muttered and a smile formed on his face. "Brother Licheng saved Yuan, but where is he and Master Tao?" Determined to find them, he decided to leave the chamber and search outside.
