"Who are you people, and why are you here?" Song Wen asked.
Seeing that Song Wen had no intention of killing them, the fear on Geng Qian's face subsided somewhat.
"Reporting to you, Senior..."
From Geng Qian's words, Song Wen roughly learned why they had gathered here.
They were all cultivators from the Profound Realm, here to explore the Kunxu Secret Realm.
Geng Qian had entered the secret realm twenty years ago, when its entrance allowed cultivators of the Body Integration Realm to enter.
