Seeing the sky suddenly darken.
Wei Donghai and Zui Wuya were greatly startled as well. After exchanging glances, they hurriedly looked up.
"Something's wrong..."
"It is indeed rather strange. Noon has only just passed—how could it suddenly grow this dark?"
As everyone raised their heads in succession, they finally saw that there was not a trace of light in the sky overhead. In the ever-darkening heavens, the sun had vanished without a trace!
At once, the reclusive elders were even more astonished.
"Where did the sun go?"
"Could this be some solar eclipse phenomenon?"
In that brief moment of shock, the surroundings had nearly become so dark one could not see one's own hand before one's face. Still, this did not trouble these reclusive experts who had cultivated bitterly for many years. With a slight circulation of spiritual power, spiritual light gathered at their fingertips, illuminating their puzzled faces.
After waiting for several breaths without seeing the sky brighten, Wei Donghai and the others found it increasingly strange and could only seek the counsel of Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei.
Unfortunately, when they found Ancient Saint Luo Hongfei, he too wore a bewildered expression.
"This old man has never encountered such a thing either. Perhaps... it is merely a temporary solar eclipse phenomenon."
Hearing this, the others could only half-believe, half-doubt. They each departed to wait for the sky to brighten.
Who could have known that this wait would last several months.
After spending several months groping about in darkness, the reclusive experts living in the village could no longer remain calm. They gathered at the village entrance with startled expressions, seeming on the verge of breaking into an argument.
"How could this be?"
"If the sun still does not return, we can only continue living in darkness from now on.
