Half a month later.
Late at night.
Hovering high above Jiangshui County in Dongjie Prefecture.
Yibai, dressed in black robes with a purple-gold crown upon his head and black boots on his feet, was surrounded by swirling clouds, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, like an immortal among men.
He looked down upon Jiangshui County from above.
In half a month's time, he had explored several counties along the banks of the Shuanglong River. Having confirmed there were no issues, he began his investigations in other parts of Dongjie Prefecture.
However, before leaving the Shuanglong River area, out of old affection, he left a sliver of his spirit in the 'Dragon King Temple' that belonged to him, thus spiritually enlivening the temple. In the future, should the son of Xu Nian encounter danger, he would be able to lend assistance.
After completing these tasks, he arrived at Jiangshui County.
