As soon as he returned to the Chongzhen Sect, Du Youqian received news that the demons within the Wu Kingdom's borders had been mostly cleared out.
At the same time, a disciple who had been out exterminating demons happened to run into Shuyue Hua and relayed Elder Shi's instructions to him.
Du Youqian sighed, then flew his Flying Boat to the Hundred Flowers Sect. He borrowed their Communication Array to inform Elder Shi that Elder Pang was confirmed dead and the Teleportation Array had been destroyed. He also added that, based on clues from a Soul Search, Yin Ruozhen was attempting to awaken the Great Saint Incarnation.
There was a long silence on the other end, so long that Du Youqian wondered if the Communication Array had malfunctioned. Finally, Elder Shi's voice came through again. "Understood. Come back for now."
Du Youqian had never heard Elder Shi's voice sound so somber.
'He and Elder Pang must have been very good friends.'
