Ye Tian returned to the Ye Family, where his grandfather and father summoned him. They heard of his recent gains and that he had obtained leverage over Liu Xu, which made him more cautious.
His father and grandfather both praised his actions and supported him in driving out and annihilating the terrorists.
They could not allow the people of the nation to be harmed; it was their duty as guardians.
Ye Tian didn't stay long with his family. After receiving information that the terrorists were stirring again, possibly looking to create panic in the Imperial City, he had to act.
He had only a lead but did not know where the terrorists were hiding. He needed to find traces of their presence, and for the time being, he couldn't return to the North City Immortal Sect to protect the Imperial City.
What Ye Tian didn't know was that, a thousand miles away from the Imperial City, there was a coastal city that served as a gateway to foreign seas frequently visited by pirates.
