They confirmed that one was Ye Lin and left to search for him, while the elder was left fearing for his sect’s future.

• The five discussed how to find Ye Lin and decided to enlist local forces rather than risk angering the Anlan Great World’s experts by spreading their divine senses.

• Within half an hour, Yin-Yang Sacred Land disciples had spread throughout the Heavenly Capital Region to search for Ye Lin.
