Lin Mu raised a hand awkwardly, motioning for them to calm down. "You can relax now. The threat has been dealt with. The being behind it, the Great Ice Elemental has been destroyed," he said simply.
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their voices echoing through the clearing.
"All hail the Wandering Righteous Blades!"
"All hail, Wandering Righteous Blades!"
Many of them began chanting the group's name, praising their bravery and skill.
Meng Bai, smiling ear to ear, joined in with the cheer, raising a fist toward the sky. Daoist Chu chuckled lightly, clearly amused by the enthusiasm, while Cattaleya smirked, her usual composed demeanor breaking for a moment as she clapped along.
