The sky gradually brightened. Standing outside the city and watching the scenery of the rising sun, everyone couldn't help but be moved.
Turning his head to look at the devastated city walls and the empty city, Emperor Yun couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
It seemed that the repair work after the battle was also a big project.
However, this kind of work would always require manpower. Currently, the few major forces left in the city were the Luofu Sect, Yin-Yang Academy, Mirrorflower Palace, and the imperial city.
Before the battle started, Qin Yi and the others had already sent the disciples of their sects away.
Now that the crisis was over, they could naturally return.
At this moment, the four of them bid farewell to each other and returned to their sects, preparing to recall their disciples.
Qin Yi didn't know what methods Luo Wuji and the others were going to use, but he still had a very simple method.
The Heaven Thieving Mole and the Illusionary Cloud Divine Hound were right next to them. As long as he used the scroll to contact them, he could naturally easily tell them the news.
… …
A day later, a large number of disciples poured in from the various gates of the imperial city. Without a doubt, it wasn't just Qin Yi. Luo Wuji and the others also had their own unique methods to recall their disciples.
After the hustle and bustle, the academy finally returned to its former tranquility.
After the battle, everyone's face was brimming with a relaxed smile. Without the invasion of a powerful enemy like the "Shadow", the academy could also be a lot more peaceful.
Of course, without a powerful enemy that was prepared to destroy them, it didn't mean that they had an excuse to slack off.
After all, in the current imperial city, they weren't the only ones that were powerful.
In the city, there were still the Luofu Sect and Mirrorflower Palace!
Even now, after this disaster, the three sects had already entered a honeymoon period. However, this didn't mean that the competition between the three sects would also disappear along with the friendship between the three sects.
On the contrary, after the peace treaty was signed, the competition between the three sects would become unprecedentedly strong. After all, in a situation where they couldn't fight against each other, the only way to prove that they were stronger than others was to diligently cultivate and raise the strength of the entire sect!
Fortunately, the disciples of the academy were well aware of this situation and did not show any signs of slacking off. This made Qin Yi feel very gratified.
The next day, the leaders of the three sects summoned all the disciples of their respective sects to their respective training grounds.
They were here to bid farewell to their respective Patriarchs.
When the disciples saw Patriarch Meng Zhongxiao's corpse with a gratified smile, their faces were filled with grief.
Grand Elder Bai He, in particular, had a deep impression of Patriarch Meng Zhongxiao as an old man who had witnessed that period of history.
When the Patriarch passed away, he, who was still the Second Elder, was grieved for a long time.
However, that kind of sadness was far from being able to compare to the grief of dying again after "coming back to life". Most importantly, Meng Zhongxiao's death this time was for the survival of the entire Imperial Capital.
This kind of heroic death was the easiest way to evoke the deepest sadness in people's hearts.
As the great elder of the academy, Bai He was sobbing uncontrollably. Without a doubt, as an old man of the academy, his understanding of the Patriarch was much deeper than that of someone like Qin Yi, who had just arrived not long ago.
His feelings for Meng Zhongxiao were definitely not something that Qin Yi could compare with.
Unfortunately, the dead could not be resurrected. Moreover, Patriarch Meng Zhongxiao had burned his soul to the very last moment before he died. This meant that his death could no longer be changed.
At this time, Qin Yi suddenly felt a breeze pass by him. Then, a figure appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Meng Zhongxiao's coffin.
The person who came was Bai Hua, who had been in seclusion in the library for a long time.
At this moment, he still had the appearance of an old man, and the gaze he gave Meng Zhongxiao's corpse was somewhat complicated. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a word and just stood there in a daze. After a moment, he finally straightened his body, removed the disguise on his body, and bowed deeply to Meng Zhongxiao.
Bai Hua's action meant that he had decided to completely reveal his identity that had been hidden for so many years.
Compared to before, the aura on his body was clearly much stronger. It was obvious that he had gained a lot during his time in the library. Even though his aura was restrained, Qin Yi could still feel that he was now a Dao Palace expert.
"Master …"
Qin Yi looked at Bai Hua with an excited expression.
Bai Hua raised his hand at Qin Yi and said, "I know what I'm doing. From today onwards, I will be the new Patriarch of the academy. "
Bai Hua's voice was decisive. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to replace Meng Zhongxiao and protect Yin-Yang Academy.
It had to be said that his breakthrough was indeed good news for the academy. After all, there was not a single Dao Palace expert in the entire capital city. His breakthrough just so happened to make up for this gap, and also brought a strong deterrent to the academy.
Even if the Luofu Sect and Mirage Flower Palace wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality in the future, they would not dare to act rashly because of Bai Hua's existence.
To be honest, Qin Yi would not be able to stay in the Cloud Sea Domain for much longer. Originally, he might have had some misgivings, but now that he had someone to rely on, he could finally relax.
Everyone in the academy finished mourning Meng Zhongxiao's body and then buried it.
The dead were gone, and the living still had more things to do.
Fortunately, the academy was not a battlefield during this war, so it was not affected too much. Thus, there was no need to do any post-war repairs.
However, the situation inside and outside the city were completely different. There were ruins that needed to be dealt with, and the most important thing was the damaged city walls.
At that moment, Qin Yi had already made a decision to repair the city walls and clean up the streets as a disciple mission. He also gave out generous rewards.
As the saying goes, when there is a high reward, there will be brave men. Moreover, these tasks were not dangerous at all. Of course, there would be teams that would accept this mission very quickly.
With the cooperation of the other sects and the Imperial City, the restoration of the imperial capital would be completed within a month.
As for those who did not receive this mission, they naturally could not just sit around. Some could cultivate in seclusion, while others could choose to go out and train. Of course, they could also receive new missions and receive rewards.
