After Zhang Yan left Mianxing Mountain, he first sent a Flying Book to Zhang Boyant to inform him of the details. Then he found a mountaintop, used the Earth Escape Technique to enter the mountain's belly, and opened a cave. After meditating for a moment, he fully restored the mana expended during the battle. He then emerged from the cave full of energy, sprinted swiftly, and flew toward Xisheng Mountain.
Unlike his previous journey, he traveled swiftly alone with his sword and returned to the Chu Capital Da Yang the next day, landing once again within the inn.
At this moment, the outcome of the Mianxing Mountain battle had not yet been revealed. The Pavilion attendants saw that he had clearly gone with the other cultivators to Mianxing Mountain, yet he returned alone, finding it strange. However, due to their low status, they dared not ask further.
