Inside the Shui Xing Palace, Tang Jinyan was irate. Jiao Ming and Ping'er had not yet returned, nor brought anyone back with them.
She swore in her heart that she would severely punish them upon their return. Otherwise, where would her authority be?

Yuzhou.
One of the eighteen states within the Ling Domain.
Zheng Country is the largest dynasty in Yuzhou. Although their power in Yuzhou is not the strongest, it's the Zheng royal family who guards the Gate of Lingyu.
Due to this special task, Zheng Country is not governed by any Spirit Sect. Instead, it is directly controlled by several transcendent Spirit Sects of the Ling Domain.
And because of this, despite not being the most powerful in Yuzhou, no other forces or Spirit Sects dare to topple the Zheng dynasty.
