Before leaving, Gao Yuan handed over the matter of "cleaning up the ancient Secret Realm cultivator's identify" to He Zhenghao.
"Zhou Qingang" also took out a generous sum to show his sincerity.
Since they were old colleagues, He Zhenghao naturally agreed to the task. In the course of the conversation, He Zhenghao further asked Zhou Qingang whether he planned to leave the Misthaven Ocean.
Zhou Qingang laughed and affirmed he had no such intentions.
Upon hearing this, He Zhenghao suddenly felt at ease. Even Zhou Qingang, being the trusted emissary of top-ranking officials, didn't come up with any plan to avoid the upcoming disaster. This indicated that although the arrival of Heaven and Earth's Spirit entails some risks, they were not significant.
Becoming more certain of his choice, he stopped overthinking. After persuading his daughter to leave, he started dealing with the "Secret Realm Cultivator's entry into the Immortal Alliance."
