Jinyu City no longer existed.
It had become too damaged for any form of settling...
This land touched by such evil would take almost a hundred years or more to heal.
And yet...
There was a peaceful beauty as sun rays bathed this once dark City, and the Immortals rallied around, planning the way forward.
Luoyin had collapsed right after he confirmed Yu Wang was gone, so the first move was to set down formations and send everyone home!
Strands of demon aura still wove through the air... harmless to the Immortals, but harmful to Mortals, so with some help from the other Immortals, Old man Bao raised a wide Barrier which would keep unsuspecting mortals away.
The days that followed seemed to breeze by...
Yin Ying teleported to almost every known Mortal dwelling, bringing the truth near and far, while the Medicine Immortal, still recovering himself, worked overtime to heal the wounded.
It hadn't been a joyful victory.
Thirteen Immortals had been lost... Seven swallows and six of the elder Immortals had fallen to either the wraiths, or swarms of the Eternal Realm demons.
The Swallows had returned to their dwelling in the Mortal Realm, though word came that Tianlong had lifted their banishment, requesting their return to the Tree of Swallows in Sky Realm.
The Eternal Tier Immortals also returned to Sky Realm, after ensuring that no Yu Wang or Zhurong Fen remnants lurked anywhere, especially around Yueyan mountain.
The Shadow Immortal fortified the Shadow Realm Seals.
And Baishan's Sect Leaders and Elders remained in Yue City to await Luoyin's awakening, and decide how to punish the traitorous elders and Sect Leaders amongst them.

Meanwhile, Sky Realm's chaos was far from over.
It was the chaos of 'cleaning house'... There were simply too many offenders hiding in Sky Realm!
With the fall of Floral Realm, the Merman Sky General was captured, Zhurong Fen's flower elders were apprehended, and almost fifty thousand Blood-Flowers were retrieved!
Through the Blood-Flowers, all Zhurong Fen's followers were traced easily, especially since her death had caused the Blood-Flowers to wilt, leading to a backlash amongst her followers.
More than half her followers were Floral soldiers, or soldiers hidden right in the Sky Army itself! Several were Elder Immortals or regular Immortals, strategically placed, and more than a few were found in the major Deity Sectors or Pavilions.
Though Sun Liang was Immortal Jin's illegitimate son, he was surprisingly not a follower of Zhurong Fen...
He had simply hated Yin Xiaolong in the past because Yin Xiaolong had cost him his potential position as Fate Immortal! And this hatred only grew after Yin Xiaolong was proclaimed the 'Demon King Incarnate'.
Sun Liang was no more guilty than most other Immortals, not to mention Tianlong and Fei Yun who had been closest to Yin Xiaolong, yet also foolishly believed his guilt...
In the end, all the offenders were rustled up and bundled off to the Cliff of Destruction, where almost a hundred thousand make-shift cells had been created to accommodate their vast numbers till they were sentenced....
.
Some time passed...
When Luoyin opened his eyes, he was back in Yue City, warmly covered in his own bed.
