Just as the masked man was forcing Cheng Shikun to hand over the porcelain bowl, at some point, only waves were left on the surface of the wide lake.
The dozen or so factions that had participated in the encirclement of the three Kunshan Sect court heads had all retreated into the forest by the lake.
Among them, the monk with the Buddhist Commandment Blade carried his injured companion and rushed into the forest without looking back, giving up on the fight for the porcelain bowl.
Seeing that the two monks had given up, the other medium-sized factions in the Jiangnan province only hesitated for a moment before retreating one after another.
After the first round of battles reduced their numbers, the masked man, who was suspected to be at the third stage of the warrior realm, had instantly cleared most of the remaining factions from the battlefield.
