The two of them stood outside the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm. Behind them, the spatial rift had begun to contract rapidly, the chaotic currents drawing back inward like the receding tide.

The Black Stone Cult Master still wore the relief of someone who had narrowly escaped death. His gaze kept drifting toward the Jade Box in Yun Shu's hand, his heart shaken by the astonishing harvest this "mister" had reaped.

Behind him, Xiao Jinye followed respectfully, cold light glinting in his eyes.

"Elder, it was them!"
