The person delivering the message took the shortest time possible, conveying the news back to the town, and soon a multitude of people hurried from the town to this place.

A year has already passed, yet someone actually came out of it again. The news was astonishing enough.

However, after seeing who came out, some people were happy, some were sorrowful, and many were unhappy.

Because the person who came out was Miao Yi Niang!

The mature and beautiful woman.

Miao Yi Niang was originally very beautiful, naturally charming. After a year in the ruins, she inherited the path of Heavenly Scripture Dao, which enhanced her charisma, even more than before.

In addition to her charm, she had a touch of scholarly air about her, which was so stunning that even some older generations were amazed.

However, how to treat her became a question that many people needed to think about.

She was the legitimate disciple of Immortal Sect's leader. Normally, she was too noble for ordinary people to provoke. But now she is also part of Piaomiao Palace!

Whenever they thought of the words 'Piaomiao Palace', many people gritted their teeth in hatred. Especially those sects from the Vermilion Bird Continent, these three words were extremely sensitive to them.

The people from Immortal Sect didn't care about that, as they had made their decision a year ago.

Therefore, the moment Miao Yi Niang came out, a group of elders from the Immortal Sect immediately protected her.

They did not even think about gaining anything from Miao Yi Niang. A year was enough for them to understand a lot of things, and it was also enough for them to thoroughly understand Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was a very sentimental person. As long as you were good to him, he would never let you down!

Since they have already chosen this side, they should just stick with it.

Lonely City and Beyond Heaven, although they very much wanted to take Miao Yi Niang away, seeing the wary elders of Immortal Sect, they all held back.

Now was not the time to declare war!

As long as Miao Yi Niang was here, she wouldn't be able to escape!

Being able to stay in the ruins for a year, if you said she didn't get a great opportunity, no one would believe it.

Miao Yi Niang didn't care much about what was happening in front of her. In the ruins, her worldview had greatly broadened. Despite her strength had just broken into the congenital realm, she wasn't timid at all when facing the older generation of innate masters from Lonely City and Beyond Heaven.

What she was worried about was Shen Xingxue, Huang Hui, and...Chu Mo!

Only then, she found out that none of the three had come out yet!

Miao Yi Niang initially thought she would be the last one out, but now she found out that among her loved ones, she was the first to emerge.

While Miao Yi Niang felt this was quite ridiculous, deep inside, she was also somewhat dissatisfied.

She knew, the longer you stayed in the ruins, the greater opportunities you would get.

Could it be... that becoming the successor of the Heavenly Scripture Dao is not a grand enough chance?

"Yiniang, don't worry, they will all be fine," said Shen Aobing, somewhat emotional, taking Miao Yi Niang's hand. His tone was softer than his usual imperious demeanor.

"Master, I'm not worried." Miao Yi Niang knew to be grateful. She always appreciated and respected Shen Aobing. However, Shen Aobing's previous brutal demeanor made her helpless. But now, Shen Aobing was being gentle, which made Miao Yi Niang very pleased.

"What about the other factions?" Miao Yi Niang felt that when she came out, many faction members looked at her with a combination of admiration and jealousy.

"The other factions fared worse. Apart from our One Sword and Immortal factions, only a dozen disciples came out. Only Li Zhu from the Beyond Heaven faction walked out!" Shen Aobing explained further to Miao Yi Niang: "Trust me, I won't force you to marry that man anymore."

Miao Yi Niang smiled and nodded.

Shen Aobing added, "Right, there was another disciple from the Western Sea Sect called Zhou Jun; he was the first to come out!"

"Zhou Jun...I know him." Miao Yi Niang whispered, "Originally, the other disciples of the Western Sea Sect also had a chance to leave the Ruins, but only Zhou Jun listened to Chu Mo's words and left. It seems that the others probably met with misfortune."

Shen Aobing's expression turned somber, as quite a few disciples from the Immortal faction hadn't emerged yet. Considering their lack of luck compared to Miao Yi Niang and others, their fate was clear.

Miao Yi Niang sympathized with the plight of the other factions and was astonished, "Apart from Zhou Jun from the Western Sea Sect and Li Zhu from Beyond Heaven... Not a single person from other factions emerged? What about One Sword? How are they faring?"

"Nobody has come out. Hua Sanniang and He Feng from One Sword, and few disciples did come out. They also claimed that their qi movements will grow stronger by following Chu Mo..." Shen Aobing paused here, slightly embarrassed, and asked softly, "Is it really so?"

Miao Yi Niang nodded, "It seems...to be that way, but I didn't expect so many sisters from our faction to not return."

Shen Aobing sighed lightly, "There is nothing we can do about it. You have only been part of the faction for a short time and are not aware of many things. Over the years, thousands of people from the Four Great Sects have perished in the Ruins…"

Miao Yi Niang gasped, "That many!"

"That's why this time we, the Immortal and One Sword factions, have gained tremendously," Shen Aobing said, "I was suspicious before, but now I'm almost certain. Chu Mo... is truly astonishing."

Upon hearing her master acknowledge this, Miao Yi Niang felt immense joy.

"By the way, Yiniang, you don't need to share your spoils from the Ruins with anyone," Shen Aobing sternly said to Miao Yi Niang, "Not even with the Immortal faction!"

"Ah?" Miao Yi Niang had just been thinking about this issue, but before she could discuss it, Shen Aobing broached the subject. His attitude seemed to toss aside the status of a faction leader and consider her best interest.

"I know Chu Mo's ambition." Shen Aobing suddenly said, "He desires to turn the Piaomiao Palace into the strongest faction in the world. In the beginning, I disdained him…"

Miao Yi Niang remained quiet, attentively watching Shen Aobing.

Shen Aobing chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Looking back, I was too arrogant. I thought the Four Great Sects were the most formidable factions in this world. Now, I finally realize how ignorant I was."

"Master..." Miao Yi Niang softly called.

Shen Aobing waved dismissively and added, "This time, we the Immortal faction, along with One Sword, chose to support Chu Mo. Given the results so far, it's evident that Chu Mo... he genuinely has the ability to make the Piaomiao Palace the strongest faction in this world! I was wrong before."

"Master, you were just looking out for our faction and us," Miao Yi Niang said.

"Don't comfort me. You might not have been with me long, but you should know me," Shen Aobing looked at Miao Yi Niang, "I'm straightforward: right is right, wrong is wrong. I won't conceal anything. Supporting Chu Mo and the Piaomiao Palace was not just my decision. Our elders have come to a unanimous agreement: if Chu Mo can safely return from the Ruins, we, the Immortal faction, will wholeheartedly support them in the future!" (To be continued.
