As for Yuan Jing, the Bright Moon Peak Master who is under "soft detention," if an opportunity arises, Shen Mo will naturally rescue him, but there's no need to force it.
There are hundreds of powerful figures in the Golden Core Realm within the Heaven Patrolling Temple, and even a Heavenly Monarch in the Divine Bridge Realm who disregards forbidden lands. It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for Shen Mo, a mere Golden Core Realm practitioner, to rescue Yuan Jing.
Moreover, with two factions within their ranks vying for power, they likely wouldn't harm Yuan Jing.
The Riverside Sect and the other Five Great Sects might negotiate terms with the visiting envoys and perhaps even persuade the Heaven Patrolling Temple to release Yuan Jing!
Accompanying Shen Mo was Flower Fairy Ami.
