Having escaped with their lives, everyone inevitably felt a measure of relief.
Even though they had escaped, the overwhelming tide of darkness inside the passage still left them shaken.
Instinctively, they all looked toward their pillar of support, Lin Shuguang.

But after a moment's thought, Professor Wang and the others nodded. "Indeed, less than six hours passed. Ruoyi, make a note of that."
"Yes, Professor." Pei Ruoyi
