The crowd in the square immediately erupted in commotion, especially the elders who had brought their Lineage geniuses to participate in the secret realm. They were even more unable to accept that everyone who had entered the secret realm had been wiped out!
Several Grandmaster immediately surrounded the people from the three sects, while the people from the three sects simply looked at them indifferently and remained silent.
Tianming frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "What? Shouldn't we be investigating now to see what's going on? You know, we have more people inside than you."
Everyone was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then each of them released their Divine Sense to search into the collapsed the Pit.
Elder Bai had already rushed into the air to investigate, he was really anxious because he truly regarded Jiang Liu as the future of the Exotic Beast Valley.
Before long, the Grandmaster in the square scattered. Some went down into the collapsed the Pit to investigate, while others went to the edge of the pit, all hoping to see if their juniors were still alive, or at least to confirm whether they were dead or alive.
On the other side of the mountain, Jiang Liu and the others were also staring blankly at the huge pit in front of them. When they thought about how they would have been buried in there if they hadn't come out in time, they were probably gone without a trace. They were all filled with fear.
Those who came out with Jiang Liu, in particular, felt even more grateful towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu then flew into the air, identified the direction, and flew towards the square where they had previously stopped. The rest of the group quickly followed.
Soon, people spotted Jiang Liu and his group. The Grandmaster immediately surrounded them, looking left and right. When they realized there were only twelve people in total, they were all shocked.
Especially those Grandmaster who hadn't found their descendants, glared at Jiang Liu and the others and roared, "Where are they? Why are only you guys out?"
Jiang Liu ignored them, searching left and right for Elder Bai. The others also looked for their elders.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the Grandmaster seemed to feel insulted, had nowhere to vent their anger, or had other thoughts. Ye Guhe, in particular, exuded an aura of power that enveloped Jiang Liu and the others.
Jiang Liu immediately felt as if he had been caught in an endless ocean storm, and he was a lone boat sailing alone in the storm, constantly spinning in the storm.
The others weren't much better off; they were all looking around blankly, their eyes gradually becoming lifeless, and sweat soon began to appear on their foreheads.
Zheng Fei, the Grand Elder Hai of the Zheng Family, was the first to shout angrily at Ye Guhe: "Ye Guhe, how dare you lay a hand on a junior? You're courting death!" After saying that, he immediately struck Ye Guhe with a palm.
He had seen his junior, Zheng Yunxiu, come out; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with their lives. Ye Guhe immediately suppressed his imposing aura and stood aside, saying nothing more.
Soon, the other Grandmaster who saw their juniors emerge also shouted angrily at Ye Guhe: "Ye Guhe, are you not stopping yet?"
When Zheng Fei made his move, Jiang Liu immediately felt a sense of relief, and only then was he able to perceive the surrounding sensations. Jiang Liu knew that someone had forced Ye Guhe to retreat.
Only then did he realize once again how terrifying Grandmaster was. His mere aura could kill him. He had encountered several Grandmaster before who had no ill intentions towards him, which was why he hadn't sensed them.
Before long, Elder Bai and Li Moran flew over from a distance. Seeing Zheng Fei confronting Ye Guhe, they were a little puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with them? Are they preparing to fight?"
The younger generation was still in shock and no one spoke. However, a Grandmaster dressed in a Daoist robe said calmly, "Ye Guhe has made something of himself by taking action against these children who have just escaped death."
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai was immediately enraged. He gathered his energy and was about to unleash a palm strike at Ye Guhe when the people from Tianming and the Three Sects arrived. Seeing that the group seemed about to start fighting, they quickly shouted, "Stop!"
Then, Tianming flashed and stood between Elder Bai and Ye Guhe, asking, "What's going on?"
Jiang Liu then realized what was happening and looked at Elder Bai, saying, "Elder Bai, I'm fine!"
Then someone explained the situation to Tianming and the others. Tianming frowned, gave Ye Guhe a deep look, and then asked, "What exactly happened inside? How did it collapse?"
The surviving disciples from the three sects then explained what had happened inside the secret realm. The Grandmaster present were visibly stunned, not expecting that such a large secret realm was empty, and had been completely emptied.
After a final count, the twelve people who had come out were found to be Jiang Liu, Li Qiaoyun, Zheng Yunxiu, Buddha, Chen Yuke, and Yi Tian. Each of the three sects had only two disciples left, which was a heavy loss.
Elder Bai asked Jiang Liu, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "Thank you, Elder Bai, I'm fine!"
"Alright! That's fine! Let's go back first!" After saying that, Elder Bai was about to leave with Jiang Liu.
At this moment, five Grandmaster, led by Ye Guhe, suddenly blocked Elder Bai's way and said, "Don't leave yet, things haven't been explained clearly yet!"
These five Grandmaster all lost their Grandmaster during this expedition to the secret realm.
Elder Bai immediately roared, "What didn't you explain clearly? Didn't I just make it clear?"
Ye Guhe said, "They only talked about what happened on the arena, but they didn't explain what happened before the match!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai frowned slightly, then stopped, waiting to see what they intended to do. Jiang Liu also stood silently behind Elder Bai, watching.
At this moment, Tianming said, "Ye Guhe, what do you want?"
Ye Guhe said, "I just want to figure out why my grandson didn't show up during the competition!"
At this moment, the Old Ancestor of the Ji Family and the Liu Family Old Ancestor also said one after another, "Our grandson has not appeared either. What exactly happened?"
Tianming turned to the group of juniors and asked, "Did you see them before the battle started in the arena?"
Zheng Yunxiu, Li Qiaoyun, and the others all shook their heads. The Buddha chanted a Buddhist mantra and also shook his head.
Tianming said to Ye Guhe, "You saw it, but they all said they didn't know."
Ye Guhe said, "I am not satisfied with this answer!"
Upon hearing Tianming angrily retorted, "Then what do you want?"
Ye Guhe said coldly, "I want to search your soul!"
Upon hearing this, Tianming flew into a rage. "Ye Guhe, do you think I have a good temper? How dare you make such an unreasonable request?"
Elder Bai, Li Moran, Zheng Fei, Chen Bo, the leader of the Heaven One Sect, and others were immediately enraged and shouted at Ye Guhe, "Ye Guhe, don't think we dare not touch you."
The other Grandmaster from the three sects stared coldly at Ye Guhe and the others, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
You should know that soul searching is extremely damaging to the soul. If you are not careful, you will suffer mental damage. At best, you will become mentally deranged and become an idiot. At worst, you will die immediately and your soul will be gone, beyond the reach of medicine.
There are currently twelve Grandmaster on the field. On one side, led by Ye Guhe, there are five Grandmasters who lost their juniors in this secret realm. They are from the Ye family, the Ji Family, the Wang Family, the Li Family, and the Liu Family.
On the other side were the three Grandmaster of the three sects, along with Elder Bai, Li Moran, Zheng Fei, and Chen Bo.
As for the Buddhist sects, Horizontal Blade Cliff and Sword Worship Villa, no Grandmaster from the Confucian sects came.
The atmosphere between the two teams immediately became tense. Once so Grandmaster started fighting, it was estimated that few of the younger generation present would survive.
