433 Return, Shangguan Wudi!

On the other side of the world, Shangguan Lingxiu had already led her men to set sail back to the east.

She had known all along that this expedition would be full of unexpected danger and all of them faced the possibility of death at every moment. Now that they had come back unharmed without losing any one of their members, she should have been exhilarated. However, Shangguan Lingxiu's beautiful and sculpted face was marred by faint sorrow.

Despite there being no casualties in this altercation, nothing else had been achieved – it was essentially a fruitless enterprise!

It was the polar opposite of her initial intentions; there was no other word for it.

They had traveled so far to come all the way here only to make several cursory bows before Ancestor Wudi's ancestral plate. That had been all.
