Due to being killed by Lin Helou, there wouldn't be any "Remnants of a strong enemy" to claim from this battle. Ybur's heart sank, but the next moment he brightened up. Under the concealment of Mirage Breath, he had used the dimensional rift to dispatch the Rat People, Guardian Beast, and Lin Helou in succession before spreading his wings to soar into the sky, where he unleashed several consecutive Tribulation Thunder Breaths to shatter the clouds looming above.
This should surely earn the gratitude of everyone in the city, right? Ybur thought to himself with relish.

"His Majesty invites you to the palace."
It was a Jiuxia Dogman clad in a red python robe with the hem trailing on the ground, wearing a small official's hat topped with black gauze. Since the visit was at night, the Dogman also carried a vermillion lantern in his hand.
