With the departure of Boundless Martial Palace, the Tea Ceremony had effectively come to an end.
No one needed to announce it aloud. No elder had to strike a bell, and no host needed to declare the gathering closed. Everyone present understood the truth instinctively. Nothing else that happened today could possibly surpass what had already unfolded upon Heaven Dew Peak.
There had been fierce battles between rising geniuses. There had been the arrival of three major forces. There had been open confrontation between sect elders in front of countless witnesses. Huang Chen himself had descended. And at the center of every storm stood Li Yun.
Compared to all of that, any ordinary sparring match or refined tea discussion would only feel lifeless and dull.
Thus, disciples from every sect gradually began leaving Heaven Dew Peak.
