Because the battle involved a powerful practitioner of the Eighth Realm, the war dragged on for a long time.

Eventually, with the involvement of figures like Yeyue and Xingye, the battle on Wujian Plain turned into complete chaos.

In the end, the body of Sect Leader Mu Zhongwen was shattered, and the Demon Lord's soul, which had been unleashed, was destroyed by Yun Zhen's Nine Heavens Mystic Fire.

From that day on, the Demon Lord of Duanhun Mountain no longer existed in this world.

Though the war ended in the victory of the Five Dragon Sect, the sect suffered heavy losses.

Sect Leader Mu Zhongwen's physical body was destroyed.
Moreover, the soul of Mu Zhongwen, the leader of the Five Dragon Sect, was severely crippled by a malicious demonic technique during the chaos, leaving him with barely any cultivation left.

The entire Five Dragon Sect soon learned that Mu Zhongwen had been possessed by the Demon Lord during his retreat.

Everyone discussed it fervently, unable to believe that the once great leader of the Five Dragon Sect, who had led them toward prosperity, had actually been the Demon Lord of Duanhun Mountain in disguise.

This matter was reported multiple times in the papers.

The Five Dragon Sect had barely won the battle, and now, suddenly, rumors about a seventh-realm imperial official with connections to the Demon Lord who had possessed their leader's body began to surface.

Everyone felt relieved that the high-ranking eunuch, who had been rumored to be involved, did not attend the farewell banquet.

Recently, Yun Zhen had been busy handling the sect's affairs.

Because of Yun Zhen's abilities, she was universally acknowledged as the strongest in the sect.

Thus, when Mu Zhongwen's soul was on the verge of death, Yun Zhen was naturally chosen as the best candidate to act as the sect's proxy.

Meanwhile, the sect's elders quickly turned their attention to Qi Xianqing.

During the battle, Qi Xianqing had been severely injured by Yin Fire while fighting Elder Youlong, damaging her Qi Sea and leaving her in an unstable condition.

Though Qi Xianqing had already reached the Sixth Realm, facing the fully demonized Elder Youlong had still proven challenging for her.

Daoist Xingye, Immortal Yeyue, and Yun Zhen took turns treating her.

Daoist Xingye even suggested that Qi Xianqing temporarily form a soul contract with someone who had an ice spirit root.

Because the fire energy in her Qi Sea was so strong, it would be best for Qi Xianqing to be treated with ice or water.

Zhenhuo Sect, Main Hall
Qi Xianqing, clad in white robes as pure as snow, had long black hair cascading over her shoulders.

Sunlight streamed down through the intricate patterns in the hall's ceiling, and Qi Xianqing knelt between the beams of light and shadow, her gaze lifting as the dust floated gently in the air.

Her expression showed no sign of fluctuation as she spoke, "I already have a Dao partner."

Before her words even ended, the hall fell into an oppressive silence.

An elder looked surprised, "Qi Xianqing already has a Dao partner? Why didn't you inform us earlier?"

As the chief disciple of the Five Dragon Sect, Qi Xianqing's personal matters, especially her choice of Dao partner, were meant to be carefully considered.
