Chapter 428: The Twinheart True Person
As the Faceless Serpent fled and the sea fiends were slaughtered, the protracted siege of Joymount Island finally saw a moment of calm.
No one knew if the defeated fiends would come back, but at least for now, they had survived.
Everyone cheered, laughed, exchanged hugs, and threw their weapons into the air.
Shen Ningming even got on his knees and started to cry. After several dozen days of constant fighting, they had finally gotten a moment of peace. Even though he was a revered Spirit Master, he still couldn’t help but weep in front of all these mortals.
But nobody blamed him, including Yun Danqi. Everyone felt joy from the very depths of their hearts.
On the shore, the ghost guard saw that the fiends were retreating and was about to leave when it spotted Yun Danqi flying off the walls and coming over.
Yun Danqi bowed to the ghost guard. “True Person, my utmost gratitude. It was thanks to you that Joymount Island was able to be protected. True Person, please stay and let my Yun Clan hold a feast to thank you.”
The ghost guard looked at Yun Danqi, and then it looked at the walls to Tang Jie. Tang Jie subtly nodded, so the ghost guard manipulated the air to simulate a voice and say, “Very well.”

As for the background, it said that it was a wandering cultivator who was passing through the area and came to help when it saw that the island was being besieged by fiends. It refused to elaborate on the details, and when Yun Danqi wanted to ask more questions, the ghost guard simply said “You ask too many questions” to scare him silent.
The people on the walls had gradually calmed down after celebrating. There was still a lot of clean-up to do after the battle. The bodies of the dead needed to be collected, the wounded needed to rest, and the cultivators needed to get their rewards.
That night, a feast was held on Joymount Island to thank all the Spirit Masters who came to help. Tang Jie was there as well. Of course, the seats of honor were reserved for the ghost guard and Yun Danqi.
After three rounds of drinks, Yun Danqi personally gave a speech expressing his thanks, and servants came to hand out bags of money.
The amount of spirit coins in each bag varied per person. When Tang Jie weighed his bag in his hands, he immediately knew that there were two thousand spirit coins in it. Although this wasn’t a lot, one had to consider that he
