Tang Shaoyang thought it would take months before he could return, but a little over a month later, he returned.
The reason for his return was that nothing happened in the Sacred Realm. After moving out of the Ice Palace, the Heaven Founder completely halted their attack on the Murim Alliance.
Meanwhile, the Murim Alliance found out what happened to the Ice Palace. They thought the Ice Palace was destroyed by the Heaven Founder. The Murim Alliance held an assembly, calling all major factions to talk about what happened to the Ice Palace.
That raised an alarm within the Murim Alliance. It was bad news for them, but it was not entirely negative for the Murim Alliance. The disappearance of the Ice Palace united the major factions. Once they realized that the enemy was much stronger than they thought, they decided to work together.
