A week later.
The Southern Region had regained its calm, and most of the evil sects and cultivators had been killed.
For the Vengeful Spirits, with the Governor and three sect masters working together, they had destroyed all the Netherworld Gates.
Although Shadow Lurker protected each Netherworld Gate, against four Golden Core Experts, the threat was limited.
Besides, their plan was not to hunt the Shadow Lurker but to destroy the Netherworld Gate.
With the Netherworld Gate destroyed, the Shadow Lurker would lose power and become weaker, making it easier to hunt down.
Now that they were gone, the Southern Region began to slowly recover from the atrocity of the evil sects.
In the capital, people were repairing roads and rebuilding. Smiles gradually returned to the people's faces.
"Ah! I miss the Time newspaper," an old man seated before his store muttered.
