After Taoist Ming Yu and Taoist Yan Qi returned to Daluo Palace, they went back down the mountain to continue their heroic work. In any case, with Taoist Ming Chong holding down the fort, they had a reliable point of contact.
In the days that followed, Gu Zhao received one piece of good news after another.
First, Taoist Yu Zhang had a breakthrough.
Second, Wasp Valley was annihilated by the combined efforts of several senior Taoists. Taoist Yan Song incinerated the endless swarms of wasps with a single blast of Taiyi Wind and Fire, while the Queen Bee and the other Bee Demons were exterminated by the rest of the group.
Third, the Celestial Extinction Association held its Autumn Grand Rite, a ceremony that used living people as sacrifices for a Refining Technique. The senior Taoists unleashed their power right in the middle of the rite and brought the Sect Leader of the Celestial Extinction Association to justice on the spot.
