Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since the forces of the Jili Empire had completely withdrawn from their conflict with the three major Martial Arts Halls, the Celestial Sea Prefecture Martial Arts Realm and its related industries had returned to their previous state of tranquility.
The three major Martial Arts Halls redefined their territories and stayed out of each other's affairs. Zhao Xuanqi, having secured five city blocks and substantial benefits, also settled down. He kept a low profile, immersing himself in arduous training day after day.
Zhao Xuanqi was never stingy with his subordinates. With five city blocks under his control, his resources were extremely plentiful. The Wind Shadow Hall disciples who had fought to build his domain received lavish benefits. Now, within Xiaolin Martial Arts Hall, some joked that the perks for a Wind Shadow Hall disciple were equivalent to half those of a True Inheritance disciple.
