Zi Xuan had also returned and was smiling from afar.
Even the captain was there. His hand was around Wu Jianwu's neck and was saying something. When he noticed Xu Qing, he grinned.
Their cheers were because Xu Qing's identity as a member of the Variant Immortal School had been revealed, because he had won the Dao discussion, because Xu Qing had killed the Seventh Prince, and also because of Bai Xiaozhuo's death!
To all the Fenghai County cultivators, the Seventh Prince and Bai Xiaozhuo were huge enemies!
Hearing the cheers and looking at the familiar crowd in front of him, Xu Qing was in a daze. So much had happened in the past day and night that he only now realized that it had only been one night since yesterday's Dao discussion.
The experiences in the Summer Immortal Palace and within the ancient temple filled with the aura of time and history seemed to distort Xu Qing's perception of time, giving him a vague sense of its passage.
