About to return back to the sect now that the situation with the strange tree root and its troublesome connection to the sect had been sorted out, Xuan Hao remembered his earlier intention of paying a visit to Gong Cheng to see if he could recruit him to join the sect and thus turned around to quickly pass through the Frozen Wastelands before the situation he had caused earlier ended up drawing any more attention and potentially making travel through the Frozen Wastelands impossible.
Of course, it would still take some time for both the Blue Sea Empire and the demonic cultivators to properly react to what had just happened, but he still wanted to stay on the safe side and be as far away as possible from the potential chaos that was going to ensue in the Frozen Wastelands due to what he had just done.
