The military was the last to enter the secret realm. Cheng Jun watched the two lads go in, feeling a little worried.
He had seen their earlier antics too, but it was nothing serious, so he had left them alone.
"All right, Captain Cheng, let's head in. Those two lads are sharp."
"What do you mean, Captain Cheng? You'll always be my boss. You're back!" Cheng Jun said with a smile as he looked at the newcomer.
"We've been back for a while. Spent two days giving statements and filing the spirit beast data with the higher-ups." Qin Ming smiled and patted Cheng Jun on the shoulder, then walked toward the spatial vortex with him.
Cheng Jun had previously been his squad's deputy captain. During the qualifying trials, he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm and been assigned to lead another squad.
They now held the same position, both captains of special operations assault squads, though Cheng Jun's military rank was one grade below his.
The two chatted as they stepped into the spatial vortex together.
Once everyone had gone inside, Zhang Han entered the vortex with his white robes fluttering and his treasured sword on his back.
After everyone had entered, Ying Zheng, Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Ying Si, and Shang Yang emerged. They exchanged smiles, then walked unhurriedly into the spatial secret realm.
Their keys were different, specially bestowed by Father God. No one else could see them, including the undead and spirit beasts.
Moreover, they could enter and leave freely throughout the year the secret realm remained open.
Ying Zheng looked at the specially crafted keys in his subordinates' hands, feeling rather moved. "Father God!"
Father God still had not forgotten little Zheng.
In this world, there were always some who received a god's favor.
