A sliver of daylight pierced through the darkness as the immortal boat tore through the air, sailing into a sea of clouds. The expedition to Yinhun Valley had come to an end, and the disciples of the Taixuan Sect were now standing on the deck, returning toward the sect.
Compared to the journey there, the immortal boat felt much emptier on the way back. Zhang Yuanyuan stood beside Xu Yuxiu, but she remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. Xu Yuxiu caught sight of Wan Qiyun and the others, but Wan Qiyun was currently occupied, stabilizing the injuries of Wan Zhaoyang. Yu Lan was nearby, her face etched with anxiety as she assisted.
Their party, however, was missing two people. Xu Yuxiu knew exactly what had happened to them, so she did not step forward to disturb the group. Jiang Xinyue stood at the edge of the boat, leaning against the railing and gazing into the sea of clouds, her eyes filled with infinite contemplation. Chen Kuan had also been wounded and was currently sitting cross-legged in meditation to recover. Yan Xiangyu had not returned with them, having remained behind to guard Yinhun Valley.
