“Relax, the demons will not come again,” Shen Ying promised.

Lonemoon looked up at the gates, which were still visible in the air. He turned around to survey his surroundings, noting that demonic Qi still hung in the air. “Even if they don’t come over, what can we do with this place?” We can’t let this demonic Qi remain around Invincible Sect, right?

Shen Ying frowned. The black fog was indeed a problem. “Why not… I get Little Black here so we can ask him?” I don’t think he got very far.

“Little Black?” Who the hell is that? “Wait, what are you doing?”

Lonemoon had barely asked the question when Shen Ying prepared to jump through the gates.

Before Lonemoon could pull Shen Ying back, a bolt of lightning struck down the gates of the demonic realm down from the sky.

There was a loud crash. The gates fell into pieces. Big pieces of black stone fell from the sky but disintegrated into dust just before they touched the ground.

“The gates of the demonic realm… are gone!” Yi Qing exclaimed.

Everyone looked up.

Indeed, there was now a big black abyss where the gates were. The black abyss faded away and soon disappeared together with the gates. All that remained was an overcast sky, which also quickly cleared up. If not for the demonic Qi still surrounding the Invincible Sect, they would have suspected if the gates of the demonic realm really was there in the first place.

“What’s happened? Did the demonic realm destroy this entrance of its own accord?”

There was a look of confusion on everybody’s face. Nobody knew what actually happened, but everybody was relieved that the gates of the demonic realm were finally gone.

Only Shen Ying was frowning as she looked around in the sky.

That bolt of lightning…

——————

The gates of the demonic realm had been destroyed. There was no entrance into the immortal realm from the demonic realm anymore. That also meant that there was no way to stuff all the demonic Qi surrounding the Invincible Sect back into the demonic realm. This became a problem as there was also insufficient immortal Qi in the Invincible Sect to dissipate the demonic Qi.

Initially, Lonemoon thought about shifting premises. But he soon realised that the huge amount of demonic Qi in the sect was driving his disciples to give the best they had in defending themselves against it so that they do not get injured. Lonemoon saw this as an opportunity for the disciples to unleash their potential and constantly train their skills. Many of the disciples’ cultivation levels swelled because of this. even Lonemoon’s cultivation increased because of the defensive arrays he had to set up constantly. Within a few months, he became a Golden Immortal.

That was why he changed his mind about shifting premises. The demonic Qi was a natural Cultivation-Increasing Array. All he had to do was adjust the defensive array around the mountain and lock all of the demonic Qi in, separated from the sect…

This way, they would be able to keep enemies out and keep their training resource in a fixed place. If they had nothing to do, they could enter the demonic Qi and train to increase their cultivation level. This was really a blessing in disguise. Everyone in the sect went from full—on panic mode to being overjoyed.

Only Bao Yi and Bao Feiping were unable to get their moods up. The son (or grandson) that they had spent so much effort trying to rescue became Celestial Emperor Chen Ge overnight. In terms of identity and in terms of cultivation level, he far exceeded either of them. They even had a (great-)granddaughter to take care of all of a sudden. All of this was proving to be too much for them to take in.

None of them had the intention to remain at Invincible Sect. When Ning Zi’an had more or less recovered, they suggested that they should take their leave.

Lonemoon politely sent them down the hill. It was obvious that their friendship was not as harmonious as it was before all of this happened, but none of them said anything about it.

“Brother Lonemoon, are you sure you don’t want to come to Jing Xing City with us?” Bao Feiping asked as he studied the ever-present demonic Qi looming over the Invincible Sect. Worriedly, he said, “That is demonic Qi afterall, and we still don’t know if the gates of the demonic realm will re-appear.” He, who still did not know what happened in the demonic realm, looked extremely worried.
