The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

Pi Lu was anxious and entangled with Lu Kui Zhong and his companions when Nan Gong Jing's desperate cry echoed. Shi Mu's Sky-Turning Staff struck down, shattering Nan Gong Jing's protective aura and killing him instantly, causing shock and a morale drop among the Heavenly Court's celestial generals. While Zhao Yin and others celebrated, Pi Lu's fury grew. After the battle, Shi Mu, exhausted, instructed Cai Er to collect treasures from Nan Gong Jing's corpse and began to recover his energy. The Heavenly Court's army, realizing defeat was imminent, retreated under Pi Lu's reluctant command, while the three clans attempted to prevent their escape. Despite heavy losses, the three clans had reinforcements arriving. Pi Lu, still fighting, showed resilience against Lu Kui Zhong and his companions but eventually retreated as the Heavenly Court's forces escaped. Shi Mu, recovering, rushed to the spatial passage, realizing the Grand Elder and others were still outside. As he left, the three clans recognized him, noting his unexpected strength. Shi Mu found remnants of the Heavenly Court's warships and feared for the Mityan Alliance's fate but was reassured by his inner self that they were safe nearby. He spotted Ximen Xue and Zhao Jian among the Heavenly Court's forces as he prepared to move on.
