The Prince of Xiang prepared to leave.
Xu Yourong said, "Prince, please wait a moment."
The Prince of Xiang stopped and looked at her. "Is there some divine decree?"
Xu Yourong said, "When I was young, I didn't have a high evaluation of the Prince. Now that I think about it, it was because I didn't have enough experience."
The Prince of Xiang calmly replied, "The Holy Maiden's praise is too much. I do not deserve it."
With the Imperial Court's diplomatic mission leaving the summit, there was no need for Wang Po to remain.
"I need to recuperate for a period of time. Everyone, take care."
He said to Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong.
Experts of the Divine Domain had already comprehended the laws of the world. Even if they were defeated by experts of the same level, they would still find it very difficult to kill them.
Today, he and Bie Yanghong had worked together to kill the blue-clothed visitor, not giving him a single chance and paying a heavy price.
Xu Yourong suggested, "It would be better to quietly recuperate at South Stream Temple."
"Scholartree Manor isn't far, and I still have some unfinished business to attend to, so it's not convenient to disturb you."
As Wang Po said this, he glanced at the three martial grandaunts of South Stream Temple.
Everyone present knew what he meant. Huai Ren's expression did not change, Huai Shu was slightly angry, and Huai Bi's expression changed slightly.
Huai Bi was well aware that she would inevitably be reprimanded for her actions today. She had originally intended to leave with the Imperial Court's diplomatic mission, but she had not expected the Prince of Xiang to remain silent.
The Vice Principal of Scholartree Manor, Zhong Hui and the other disciples stepped forward, bowed to Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong, then escorted Wang Po down the mountain.
The Old Matriarch of the Mutuo Clan and the Patriarch of the Wu Clan were the next to leave.
When the two leaders bid farewell to Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong, their expressions were very humble and their attitudes were very proper.
For thousands of years, these aristocratic families had never been wrong when choosing sides.
Whether it was between the Liang and the Chen, between Emperor Taizong and the King of Chu, or between the Tianhai Divine Empress and the Imperial clan.
Before today, they were naturally on the side of Dao Master Shang Xingzhou and the imperial court, but what happened today would definitely have an impact on their attitudes.
The unification of the east and west between the continent and the Great Western Continent was the next major event of the Human race after the unification of the north and south, and it was pushed forward by Shang Xingzhou and the Imperial Court.
However, following the union of Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong, the union of the East and West had already become a bubble.
The Great Western Continent's scheme had been exposed, the blue-clothed visitor dead, but everyone knew that the shadow of the Imperial Court was behind this scheme.
Otherwise, Bie Yanghong would not have left behind those words brimming with killing intent before leaving.
The sudden return of South Stream Temple's three martial grandaunts and their forceful push to close the temple was also assuredly related to the Imperial Court.
From the looks of it, the imperial court had failed in both cases.
This would definitely shake the minds of the aristocratic families.
If the Tang family was really determined to remain neutral in the future, they would have to make a new choice.
"I'll send the two elders off."
Tang Thirty Six glanced at Chen Chang Sheng, then piled a smile on his face as he supported the Old Lady of the Mutuo family towards the carriage. He didn't forget to chat with the head of the Wu family. For example, how was the young lady's health? Was Cousin Mei still as bitter as when she was young? Did she not like to eat when the weather was hot?
Soon after, the cultivators of the various sects came forward, bowed to Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong, and then took their leave.
Today, everyone had come to Holy Maiden Peak to observe South Stream Temple's closing ceremony, but who dared to bring up this topic?
The three martial grandaunts of South Stream Temple had rather grave expressions, especially Huai Bi, whose complexion was extremely gloomy and unsightly.
From breaking through the wall and descending into the plateau to now, Xu You Rong had not said a single word to them, not even glancing at them.
The last to take their leave were the disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect. Gou Hanshi bowed to Xu You Rong and said, "I should have stayed behind to see if there's anything I need help with, but … Senior Brother might already be here. For the sake of safety, I should first go find him."
Since Bie Yanghong had received Qiushan Jun's message on his way up the mountain, Qiushan Jun had naturally come today.
As for why he still had not appeared, different people had different guesses, but presumably, it had something to do with Xu You Rong and Chen Chang Sheng.
Xu You Rong fell quiet for a while, then said to Gou Hanshi, "Senior Brother, be careful on the road. If you see him, thank him for me."
Gou Hanshi replied, "Senior Brother might not want to hear this thank you."
Xu You Rong said, "Then ask him why he hasn't come to see me."
As she said this, she did not look at Chen Chang Sheng.
Ye Xiaolian and the other disciples of South Stream Temple subconsciously turned to Chen Chang Sheng, somewhat nervous.
In their view, in front of the Pope, how could the Holy Maiden speak like this?
Chen Chang Sheng did not notice these gazes. He was currently chatting with Zhexiu under the tree.
It was unclear what they were talking about, but Chen Chang Sheng's expression was rather solemn while Zhexiu remained silent.
Gou Hanshi had originally wanted to bid farewell to them, but as he saw this scene, he became pensive and did not step forward. He led the disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect down the plateau.
The Imperial Court's diplomatic mission had already left, and the cultivators from the various sects and noble clans had also retreated. The stone path was very quiet, and not a single sound could be heard in the awe-inspiring forest. Presumably, the birds and beasts inhabiting the forest had long since been frightened away by the several world-shaking battles that had just occurred.
As the disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect descended the mountain, they discussed the events of the day with great enthusiasm.
"Who could have imagined that the situation would change so quickly? I heard Senior Brother's words and was just about to raise my sword and go out to kill, but I didn't even have time to unsheathe my sword."
Bai Cai recalled those hair-raising scenes and excitedly said, "Five experts of the Divine Domain, four of them personally taking the field, and a vicious person like the White Tiger Divine General actually died like this. When I get back, I have to tell Junior Sister about this. If she knows that Zhexiu was the one who struck in the end, she'll definitely be very happy."
Gou Hanshi smiled, but said nothing.
Bai Cai continued, "Chen Chang Sheng truly is formidable, and Junior Sister Xu … the Holy Maiden is also formidable, and their Unity Sword Art is even more formidable. But the most formidable is still Eldest Brother. If not for him, how could the Great Western Continent's scheme have been so easily exposed, how could Senior Bie Yanghong and Wang Po have set up a trap to kill the blue-clothed visitor?"
In his view, Eldest Brother, who had not appeared from start to finish, was the most important person, so he spoke with a very proud expression.
The disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect nodded their heads in agreement, saying that if not for Eldest Brother, Chen Chang Sheng would have found it impossible to break out of this trap. Even if he had Wang Po's help, the only thing that awaited him in the end was death. Even if the disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect had drawn their swords and helped him, he might not have died, but he would still have ended up in a rather sorry state.
At this moment, a clear and bright voice that was clearly too lazy came from the depths of the forest.
"Where did this nonsense come from?"
Bai Cai's expression instantly chilled. Just when he was about to question the speaker, he suddenly felt that this voice was very familiar, and his expression changed.
