The desert.
A white rainbow shot into the sky.
Elder-level figures from numerous sects were still standing guard outside, waiting for everyone to emerge.
"Strange. In the past, when the Profound Celestial Ancient Hall opened, it was only for seven days. After seven days, everyone would come out. But it's been half a month now. What in the world happened inside?"
"It is strange indeed. They couldn't have all been wiped out, could they?"
A total wipeout. It was a heavy price to pay, one that no one could accept.
"Impossible. Even during the deadliest expedition, the losses never exceeded half the participants. A total wipeout has never happened before."
"There's no point talking about this now. Let's just keep waiting."
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the Light Gate within the white rainbow rumbled and slowly opened.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
A group of figures flew out.
"Lengya."
"Du Bing."
"Xinghe."
The experts from the major sects cried out in alarm and rushed forward to greet them.
