After the five men in black were captured in the Imperial Palace, only two survived. Following harsh interrogation under torture, the information extracted was actually quite limited: they only knew that the intruders were cultivators from the Guishan Immortal Sect of the Xuanbei Kingdom, and learned nothing else—absolutely nothing else was said.

Since peace had been restored, He Xiaoyao and the others resumed their normal cultivation routines.
