Chapter 323: Return to the Heavens, Venus Foretells

Half a year later.

Through the collective efforts of Yibai, Protector Saint Zhenjun, and Third Prince Nezha, South State was finally completely occupied. Apart from a few Other Demons that hid in the depths of the mountains, the majority of the territory fell under the control of the Celestial Army.

At this point, Yibai could be said to have accomplished his mission.

He chose without hesitation to lead his troops back to the heavens.

However, he was clear that South State could not be left unguarded, and after much deliberation, he decided to reassign a portion of the South State Celestial Soldiers to stay and defend the area, and to appoint a competent individual to take charge.

Yibai initially planned to assign Nezha to guard the place.

But in the end, since Protector Saint Zhenjun volunteered, he let Protector Saint Zhenjun take command of the troops stationed in South State.
