When the people around learned that it was His Majesty who was returning to the palace, they all knelt down and said in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace!"

"Everyone, you've worked hard. Stand up." Yu Kai extended his hand, and a gentle force enveloped everyone, gently lifting them up. He waved to the people and strode inside. Along the way, palace maids and soldiers knelt in obeisance, while civil and military officials followed respectfully behind him.

As Yu Kai entered the palace, a magnificent palace came into view. The palace gates stood tall and majestic, their doors carved with ancient totems, as if telling of the long history of this dynasty. Inside, a spacious courtyard stretched into the distance, dotted with exotic flowers and plants, a vibrant array of colors and emitting bursts of fragrance. Palace maids, clad in magnificent attire and holding lanterns, gracefully moved through the courtyard, adding a touch of spirit and energy to the solemn and majestic palace.

Along the red carpet-paved imperial road, the guards on both sides stood tall and straight like pine trees. They were dressed in black armor, with long swords at their waists. They glanced around vigilantly, guarding the peace of the palace.

In the Golden Throne Hall, Yu Kai received the respect of the ministers, commended meritorious officials from all sides, and dismissed and imprisoned those who violated the laws of the Danxiao Sect. Afterwards, everyone discussed the future direction of development. Yu Kai stated that he would be in seclusion frequently, and urged everyone to obey the arrangements of the Prime Minister and the War Kings in all matters.

Finally, after a grand banquet, Yu Kai, led by Li Dong, came to the training room specially prepared for him. Xuan'er also lingered there and refused to leave, so Li Dong and the others slowly withdrew.

Yu Kai didn't say much, asking Xuan'er to help protect him. He sat cross-legged, his consciousness invading the soul sea, and together with Zixiao, he came to the Dingkong Bell.
