"Senior Sister, are you going too?"
"Why not let us go ahead and scout the way?"
Seeing Shi Lan prepare to enter Lingyang, the disciples following behind her were all somewhat taken aback. They had thought she was only here to oversee things and wouldn't personally take action.
The incarnations of several Supreme Venerables nearby also didn't approve. They spoke up one after another to dissuade her:
"Lingyang's Heavenly Dao hasn't stabilized yet. You should wait outside and let us go in first to check things out."
"Lingyang is no ordinary place. Better to err on the side of caution."
They weren't unfamiliar with the Lingyang Realm. Two of them had once left Lingyang and gone to the Divine Martial Great World, where they had attained Supreme Venerable status.
The Heavenly Dao of the Lingyang Realm was excessively overbearing; it allowed no power from beyond its borders. Given Shi Lan's current cultivation, if she entered the realm, she might well become a target of the Heavenly Dao.
In ancient times, even an Unparalleled Sovereign had been suppressed upon entering Lingyang. Though the world had declined since then, its power was still far beyond what Shi Lan could withstand.
To the Spirit Martial Hall, Shi Lan's safety mattered far more than the lives of everyone else present. Naturally, they couldn't let her take such a risk lightly.

Shi Lan offered no further explanation. She simply tore open a domain gate and stepped through toward the Lingyang Realm. Seeing this, the Spirit Martial Hall's people had no choice but to follow. After all, Shi Lan was leading this expedition into Lingyang.
Though she had spoken decisively, Shi Lan remained cautious as she entered the realm. She had never lacked reverence
