The young disciple and the others let out long breaths, the tension in their hearts easing slightly. After looking around and confirming that the evil force had completely retreated, they carefully helped the rescued experts to their feet. Though these experts had suffered severe injuries, they gradually regained some strength under the young disciple and the others' attentive care.
With the rescued experts in tow, the young disciple and the others began their journey back to the Immortal Domain. Along the way, they did not dare relax for even a moment, remaining vigilant for any danger that might appear. At last, after a long trek, they returned to the Immortal Domain.
The people of the Immortal Domain breathed sighs of relief when they saw the young disciple and the others return safely. Yet they were not deceived by this brief peace. They knew it was only temporary, and that even greater challenges might await them in the future.
After returning to the Immortal Domain, the young disciple and the others did not dare slacken in the slightest. They immediately began strengthening its defenses. They repaired the city walls, set up formations, trained soldiers, and did everything they could to improve the Immortal Domain's defensive capabilities. At the same time, they did not forget to continue investigating the secret of the stars' reverse movement, hoping to find a way to fight the evil force.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded from the borders of the Immortal Domain. The young disciple and the others felt their hearts tighten as a sense of foreboding rose within them. They swiftly gathered the experts of the Immortal Domain and rushed to the border together.
When they arrived at the border, the sight before them shocked them.
