Having grown accustomed to the endless night of the Sea of Mist and the sea’s eye, flying over this bright starry ocean gives one a feeling of seeing daylight again.

Although this journey was fraught with danger, he gained plenty from it, witnessing the power of top-tier Two Nirvana masters, and he himself had gained the strength to rival ordinary Two Nirvana Venerables.

The experiences in the Sea of Mist would be unforgettable for him.

General Wei rushed over the blue sea, heading towards a fixed destination.

On the morning of the third day, Xu Guang finally saw a giant island.

Nine Saints Island.

However, General Wei’s goal was not the Nine Saints Island, but somewhere next to it.

Yan Ru Ge beside him was somewhat surprised and curious; she hadn’t expected Xu Guang to return to the Nine Saints Island.

From the earlier conversations, Xu Guang already knew of Yan Ru Ge’s background as a direct disciple of the Saint Zixiao of the Nine Saints Island.

Yan Ru Ge stood at the edge of Nine Saints Island, looking at Xu Guang with a complex expression.

"Mr. Xu, you and I... will part ways here."

Xu Guang nodded silently, waving his hand without saying much.

Yan Ru Ge stood there dazedly, watched for a long time, sighed, and walked towards the island.

"That young girl might have feelings for you."

The Dragon Elephant Demon suddenly spoke.

Xu Guang turned to face him, "General Wei said there’s a Saint of the Ancient Elephant Clan on the Nine Saints Island, aren’t you going to stay for a while?"

The Dragon Elephant Demon shook his head bitterly, "I am full of demonic aura, no longer a pure Ancient Elephant. When I have washed away this demonic energy, I will go and meet the ancestors."

On the edge of Cold Moon Island, he stopped and said, "You and I will part here as well."

"I am going to find a place where I can cleanse myself of this demonic aura."

Xu Guang solemnly cupped his fists.

"Take care, elder!"

The Dragon Elephant Demon nodded, hesitated, and spoke again.

"Find a good Feng Shui spot and bury Han Wangshan’s remains there. It doesn’t need to be grand; just let him return to his roots."

Pausing, he continued.

"Han Wangshan was from Wan Chuan State; I may go there, look for some of his traces, hoping to do something for him."

He didn’t originally intend to tell Xu Guang these things, but after traveling with General Wei, understanding that Xu Guang wasn’t someone to destroy the bridge after crossing it, he decided to share this with him.

"Certainly!"

Someone spoke up.

Ji Ziyu, the first to discover the secret of the sea’s eye, was also the presence behind Master Qingsong.

Ji Ziyu’s expression was calm as he chuckled, "Whether the plan fails is not important; what’s important is that I invited everyone here to witness the grand scene of the Sea Clan. What do you all think?"

"I don’t think much of it, I only know you shouldn’t have plotted against my disciples."

A voice spoke coolly, with a pair of fiery red eyes.

He hailed from the True King of Sky Martial.

"Using the prodigies of our Human Race to attract the attention of those ancient beasts of the Sea Clan, you really don’t regard me, the Demon Hunter, at all."

Ji Ziyu’s eyes glimmered like the sea, always calmly saying, "For the greater good, some sacrifices are necessary. My disciples could also be sacrificed, and if necessary, even I could be sacrificed."

The True King of Sky Martial slowly reigned in his indifferent gaze.

"Considering your actions were for the Human Race, let this matter rest, but only this once."

In this world, there are no true coincidences.

Xu Guang traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to the vast ocean knowing only that Liu Chuan was from the Anonymity, unaware that even within the Anonymity, there were Saints.

Cold Moon Island.

In a luxuriously decorated courtyard.

Jiang Zi Yun, Zhuge Wuliang, Jin Buhuan, Jiang Hong...almost many of Xu Guang’s relatives and friends from Jizhou and Li Taizhou gathered here.

"Senior Brother Jin, I didn’t expect you to have such a connection with Zhao Blood Armor. I heard even Senior Sister Yuanshuang’s words don’t hold much sway in front of him."

Bai Xiaozhu looked at Jin Buhuan with a flattering expression and said.

Jin Buhuan shook his head slightly; being able to persuade Zhao Blood Armor came at a great cost. Years ago, Zhao Blood Armor owed a favor to the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce behind him, and now that debt was cleared.

His status as an heir in the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce had also been completely stripped away.

Was it worth it?

He wasn’t sure.

But if one day Xu Guang could grow to be someone like Zhao Blood Armor, this investment would be worth it.

Jiang Zi Yun also looked at Jin Buhuan with gratitude.

Xu Guang had been missing for over ten years; without these friends, she wouldn’t know how to carry on.

But with General Wei reassuring her that Xu Guang was still alive, she found the strength to endure.

"Alright, no need to be so formal."

Zhuge Wuliang finished speaking, noticing the worry still lingering in Jiang Zi Yun’s eyes, he gently took out a Demon Hunting List.

"The power of the Monster Mirror can’t capture anything from the Sea of Mist, but if Junior Brother emerges from within, his name will surely appear on the Demon Hunting List."

Just then.

The text on the Demon Hunting List before them suddenly started to twist.

As Xu Guang’s name appeared, and the Demon Slaying Merits behind his name were fixed at a ten-digit number, everyone in the courtyard froze in shock.

This is...

How many sea creatures and demons did Xu Guang slay in the Sea of Mist?

No!

That’s not the point.

With so many merits, how many Two Nirvana demons died at Xu Guang’s hands?

According to Zhuge Wuliang, the Demon Slaying Merits for a One Nirvana demon range from a few million to tens of millions...

Incredible!

He was visibly shocked.

"Wonderful, I knew the boss would be fine!"

Bai Xiaozhu, ecstatic and especially excited, grabbed Jiang Zi Yun beside him, "That’s my boss alright."

Everyone was jubilant, rushing outside.

Leaving the courtyard, heading out to welcome Xu Guang’s return.

In an instant, the courtyard was empty.

...

This was the first time in decades that Xu Guang had seen the actual sky.

He hadn’t witnessed the complete confrontation between the True King of Sky Martial and that Sea Clan’s Red Ghost Saint.
