บท 2055: Catalysts for a Breakthrough

It took half a day for Zhang Xuan and Jiang Yao to return to Starchaser Palace.

First Elder Zhao Yue widened her eyes in disbelief upon seeing Jiang Yao. She had thought that their previous parting would be eternal, but the latter had managed to return alive!

"It's all thanks to Sect Leader Zhang Xuan's help," Jiang Yao explained.

"Sect Leader Zhang Xuan? Are you referring to the new head of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion?" First Elder Zhao Yue was stunned.

Jiang Yao nodded before asking, "Is our palace master back yet?"

First Elder Zhao Yue shook her head.

"That's weird. I sent a message to our palace master after I was safe, so she should have returned right after receiving my message. Why isn't she here yet?"

She did not know exactly where Du Qingyuan had headed to, but it should not be as far off as the City of Collapsed Space, so she should have been able to return ahead of them.
