After learning the whereabouts of the sword's body, Xu Lai left Penglai Island, as there was no longer any reason to stay. From this day forward, Penglai was just a solitary island. It was no longer home to the foremost of the Nine Pavilions, the Sword Pavilion, nor the Sword Tomb, which was worshipped as a holy land by sword cultivators from all over. Thus, one of the thirteen Holy Lands was stricken from the list.
Xu Lai returned to the peak of Nameless Mountain. He transmitted a Divine Sense to Baize, the second Divine General, instructing her to go to the Yin Yang Clan and demand the sword's body from Shang Yuan.
Xu Lai was not at all worried that Baize, who was only at the Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor, would be refused by Shang Yuan, who was at the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor. As for that silly and naive descendant of a Great Emperor, Shang Yuan, Xu Lai believed that even with a lower Boundary, Baize could easily subdue him.
