Zhou Yan and Zhou Lingyao exchanged a few moments longer.
Afterwards, Zhou Lingyao left.
Zhou Lingyao's departure could not be stopped by any Holy Spirit, except for Zhou Yan.
Yet Zhou Yan did not stop him—even though Zhou Lingyao was the first Holy Spirit to learn some secrets of the Emperor Soul Clan.
Zhou Lingyao left, but Zhou Yan remained in the Forbidden Land of the Emperor Soul Clan, lost in thought.
He did not gain any useful information from Zhou Lingyao, but Zhou Lingyao's words gave him much insight and reflection.
Without emotions, without obsessions.
But reflections exist regardless of whether there are emotions.
Zhou Yan flew around the Core Land as if patrolling his own territory and, finding nothing unusual, he left the area.
He returned to his father's place, where Zhou Wangchen was, but the area was temporarily sealed. His father was exhausting himself, always calculating and deriving some Tao he could no longer understand in order to resurrect Lee Su Nu.
