There wasn't much else to say about what happened next. Shimohe departed. Xiang Yuan departed. Shen Changqing and Xun Qu also did not stay in Exiled Immortal Valley, directly heading back to Mountain-Breaking City.
The appearance of Shimohe and the death of Fu Yue—news of these events, once spread, would cause considerable turmoil. By comparison, the fall of Yun Dingtian didn't seem to concern the Defender Envoys much. A Grandmaster was just a Grandmaster. Compared to a Defender Envoy, the two were conceptually different.
Atop a certain hill, Shimohe, who had supposedly already left, stood there silently. He made no move watching Xiang Yuan depart. When he saw Shen Changqing and Xun Qu leaving together, his gaze fluctuated for a moment, but he still made no move.
