Wang Botong and his Dao Companion both perished on Cuiyun Mountain. This incident enraged the higher-ups of the Six Paths Alliance. As the local power, the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers immediately dispatched a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to investigate.
However, Zhouyang had the Illusory Cloak to simulate and transform others' auras, alongside the Stinging Dragon Avoiding Tribulation Technique to conceal his aura, and the Disguise Mask gifted by Lu Xuanji. As long as he didn't face a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator directly, he didn't worry much about his true identity being discovered.
Thus, the grand display by the Six Paths Alliance ultimately turned into nothing more than a show for others' sake, without a single hair on Zhouyang being harmed.
He took a long detour, spending over two months to return to the territory of the Yuqing Daoist Sect, handing over the bodies of Wang Botong and his wife to Master Jade Dragon, while also returning the Illusory Cloak.
