Su Yuan and his group, as well as An Xingran and Wu Luo True Monarch, didn't stay long at the battlefield.
After finalizing the ascension plan, they quickly retreated back to the residence in Xiang Han Mansion, as if nothing had happened.
Before leaving, Taibai Phecda returned the bronze sword scabbard to Su Yuan.
They had just withdrawn when several powerful presences swiftly sped over from the direction of the Governor's Mansion.
These were the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been previously detained in the Governor's Mansion, drained of much of their cultivation.
After the array stopped, they broke the blockade at the fastest speed to find Nan Cang and demand an explanation.
All of this had to be explained by Taibai Phecda.
The explanation was not difficult.
For example, leaving the Governor's Mansion abruptly was due to sensing Jia Fugui's death, and following that clue to uncover Flame River's plot.
