After the battle, Ethan deals with the aftermath, including the suspicious hoards of the defeated families and the arrival of Gu Cheng, a cultivator from another world. Gu Cheng insists on staying with Ethan, much to Ethan's apprehension about potential inter-world conflict. Ethan also meets with Saintess Henna, who reveals the Church has been monitoring the families due to strange spatial anomalies and energy disturbances linked to them. Henna, recognizing Gu Cheng's otherworldly nature, confronts him, confirming he is not from this world.

Ethan's expression became slightly awkward.

He had expected Henna to notice it, but he didn't think she would figure it out so quickly. Her position as a Saintess and her connection with the Church clearly gave her knowledge that ordinary people didn't possess.

While Henna was observing Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng was doing the same.

His eyes slowly moved over Henna from head to toe. He observed her white clothes, the faint holy aura surrounding her body and the strange feeling he received from her presence. His expression remained calm, but there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

As someone who had cultivated for countless years, Gu Cheng could naturally sense that Henna was not an ordinary person.

Ethan noticed both of them silently observing each other and decided to introduce them before the atmosphere became even more awkward.

"Gu Cheng, this is Saintess Henna. She is one of the important figures of the Church and the person who protected the Imperial Palace during our battle."

He then turned toward Henna.

"Saintess Henna, this is Gu Cheng. He is the person I told you about."

Gu Cheng's expression became serious when he heard the introduction.

He stepped forward and cupped both hands together in front of his chest. His posture straightened as he performed the traditional greeting of a cultivator.

"Greetings, Saintess Henna. I am Gu Cheng. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Henna looked at his strange greeting for a moment before giving a small nod.

"Greetings, Gu Cheng."

Her eyes remained on him as she carefully observed the movements and mannerisms that were completely unfamiliar to her.

Gu Cheng lowered his hands and calmly looked at her.

"I have heard some things from Fellow Daoist Ethan. Thank you for protecting the people during the battle."

Henna glanced at Ethan before looking back at Gu Cheng.

"You don't need to thank me. Protecting the innocent is something I should do."

Gu Cheng nodded.

"That is indeed worthy of respect."

Ethan stood between them and quietly watched their exchange. He could already tell that both of them were trying to understand each other.

One was a Saintess from this world.

The other was a cultivator from a completely different world.

And somehow, both of them were now standing in the same place.

Ethan rubbed his forehead lightly.

He still couldn't get used to how absurd the situation had become.

Saintess Henna looked at Gu Cheng for a moment before speaking. Her expression was calm, but there was clear curiosity in her eyes as she tried to understand what this cultivator planned to do after being freed.

"What do you want to do next?"

Gu Cheng fell silent and pondered for a moment. He looked around at the unfamiliar Capital before slowly shaking his head.

"Naturally I want to go back to my realm."

His expression became slightly serious as he continued.

"Living in another world with different values is making me uneasy."

Henna nodded in understanding. She could imagine how difficult it must be for someone who had suddenly been thrown into a completely different world.

"Do you remember about the place you come from?"

She paused for a moment and then asked another question.

"Can you take us there?"

Gu Cheng's brows furrowed slightly. He closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to recall the place where he had originally appeared.

"I remember the place, but I don't know the way to go there."

"Then can you describe the place?" Henna asked.

Her eyes became slightly sharper as she waited for his answer.

As she had said before, the Church had already looked around that place and investigated the strange spatial turbulence. However, she wanted to confirm whether this person had really come from the same place.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment before speaking.

"It was a mountainous and rocky region."

He slowly raised his hand and tried to recall the surroundings.

"There were many large mountains around the area, and the ground was covered with rocks. I remember the place being quite desolate, with very little life around it."

The more Ethan listened, the more familiar the description sounded.

He frowned slightly and searched through his memories. He had heard about many regions across the world, but there was one place that matched the description far too well.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Isn't it Frostvele?"

Gu Cheng looked toward Ethan with a slightly surprised expression.

Henna also nodded when she heard the name.

"As expected, it's Frostvele."

She exchanged a glance with Ethan before looking back toward Gu Cheng.

"It seems we need to dig deeper into that place."

Ethan remained silent as his thoughts started to move rapidly.

The place where Gu Cheng had appeared was Frostvele.

The same place where the Church had discovered the broken void and strange energy.

The connection was becoming clearer, but at the same time, it also raised even more questions.

Just what had happened in Frostvele all those years ago?

.....

The four Emperors quickly received the battle report of the operation, and they were stunned to learn about all the nuisances their army had faced. They had not expected taking down an Aristocrat family would be such a big hassle, especially when they had already prepared their forces for the operation.

At the same time, they were relieved that things were finally finished and that they had made the right decision. If they had decided to let the three families go, then they would have left behind hidden problems that might have erupted in the future.

The reports contained far more information than they had expected. The strange barrier, the hidden forces of the families and the mysterious techniques they had used were all enough to make the four Emperors understand that destroying their roots had been the right choice.

With that, the four Emperors connected with one another through a Crystal screen.

Caelus looked at the others through the screen. His expression was serious as he leaned slightly forward and rested his hands on the table.

"So what will be our next move?"
