At that moment, only Wei Yuan, Zhou Yuan, and Master remained outside the Secret Realm, waiting.
Since the Secret Realm had already been handed over, nearly all the American Empire's guards had withdrawn.
But... countless American Empire officers, including Prunt in the distant White Palace, were monitoring the Secret Realm remotely, all looking ready to enjoy the show.

"What happened?!"
The sounds of collapse from within the Secret Realm made almost the entire mountaintop tremble.
Wei Yuan's expression changed sharply. He stepped forward, watching the changes in the Secret Realm intently.
Zhou Yuan did not hesitate for even a second. Seeing something go wrong with the Secret Realm, he immediately turned and seized Master by the collar, his overwhelming strength leaving the man unable to move.

"Perhaps... something went wrong with the Secret Realm itself?"
Zhou Yuan glared
