With Master Qingwei's death, the lineage of Green Lotus Temple within Tongmu Ridge was effectively finished.

Zhou Chun showed no mercy, regardless of gender or age, allowing the Spirit Pets to silence everyone.

He then had the Spirit Pets violently break through the restriction formations of the caves of Master Qingwei and Master Qingling, as well as the treasury, Book Collection Pavilion, and other places, quickly scavenging all valuable things on Tongmu Ridge before hurriedly escaping with the help of the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer's Earth Escape.

Not even an hour after Zhou Chun left Tongmu Ridge, a red Escape Light descended from the sky, landing over the ruins of Tongmu Ridge, revealing the figure of a wizened old woman in black.

The old woman halted above Tongmu Ridge, her Divine Sense swept the situation below, gaining a general understanding of what had occurred.

"This lingering fire aura must be from a Fifth Order Talisman, that old Qingxiao really left a lot of good things for the successors!"

"But why is there such a pure ice attribute aura lingering? Could it be that someone also used a Fifth Order ice attribute Talisman? Or is it the power left by some sort of Divine Ability Talisman?"

"And these disordered Demon Beast auras, it seems there are more than two or three Fourth Order Magical Beasts!"

"Hmm, even the Earth Vein was disturbed, causing the Mountain Protection Array to be unable to unleash its full power. How was this accomplished? Could it be the use of the legendary Formation Secret Treasure specifically meant to break Mountain Protection Arrays, the [Pulse Breaking Bead]?"

The old woman's eyes sparkled as she carefully analyzed the intelligence gathered from the scene, the more she analyzed, the more intense her surprise became.

This battle, although lacking Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, from the known information, its intensity and brilliance rivaled those of confrontations involving Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

That Master Qingwei could unleash such power did not surprise the old woman.

After all, the Green Lotus Temple is a force with a long heritage, which once produced a strong practitioner like Qingxiao True Person, leaving some cards to deal with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators is quite normal.

However, that someone able to kill Master Qingwei could also exhibit such power was indeed surprising to the old woman.

From the known information on-site, she had roughly guessed the person's identity and background.

From what she knew, that person came from a humble origin, and by rights, shouldn't possess such cards against Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!

"Indeed! To have cultivated several Fourth Order Magical Beasts itself is unusual; no matter how extraordinary those beasts' potential is, without enough strength and opportunities, it wouldn't be possible to achieve this in just a few centuries!"

"It seems this young one might become another Tianjing True Person in the future!"

The old woman murmured to herself, her gaze involuntarily looking towards the direction of the Green Lotus Mountain Range.

But it was just a glance.

The agreement with Qingxiao True Person was merely to let Green Lotus Temple use Tongmu Ridge as an enclave, providing shelter for the disciples to rebuild their Mountain Gate, not necessarily to keep them from harm!

Now, she wasn't so noble to go to Jingguo Country to clash with another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator for a Green Lotus Temple that was already destroyed.

Of course, if she could catch the culprit within Yueguo Country's borders, she would be very willing to act.

But after capturing the residual mana aura on-site and using it as a medium to cast a tracking secret technique, she discovered that the sensed feedback was extremely faint, only vaguely feeling the target was moving away from Yueguo Country's direction.

As she tracked the general direction gained from the sensation, she found no traces of the target.

"Quite the means, no wonder he dared to single-handedly penetrate Yueguo Country to kill an entire family!"

The old woman halted her pursuit, looking deeply at the vast land below, seeming to have understood how the murderer evaded her tracking.

On the other side, Zhou Chun tunneled underground for thousands of miles until he was far beyond the borders of Yueguo Country, finally daring to surface.

However, at this time, he did not dare return to the Green Lotus Mountain Range, but instead wandered around, heading through Lanzhou's underground waterways towards the Jade Mining Mountain Base in the Wasteland Territory to recuperate from his injuries.

Zhou Chun knew that the extermination of the remnants of Green Lotus Temple could not be concealed from Moon Wheel Sect and Sunflame Sect.

What these two forces would think upon learning this, he was unclear.

Thus, he decided to hide behind the scenes to observe the situation, allowing time to heal.

Indeed, this time he was seriously injured.

On the journey back from Yueguo Country, he could hardly move himself, relying on his Spirit Pet to carry him.

Only upon reaching the Jade Mining Mountain Base, through the effects of an Elixir, did he have a bit of mobility, without revealing too much in front of Xu Fu.

But knowing his own situation, upon entering the cave estate, removing his disguise, his complexion was ghastly pale as he slumped to the ground, coughing out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

The power of that Fifth Order Talisman had indeed exceeded his endurance limits, and after being injured by this Talisman, not only was his Essence Energy severely depleted, but there was also a lingering pure fire aura within him that was hard to expel.

This fire aura, being transformed from pure Spiritual Power, was not countered or negated by 'Pure Primordial Spirit Water'.

Fortunately, he had the [Moon Toad Pearl], an ice attribute Spiritual Treasure, for protection, which could temporarily suppress this fire aura, affording him time to slowly purge it.
