Xu Qingtong recalled the Sect Master's words. According to him, the Wuji Sect had sent two groups to investigate the Yin Nether Qi, but none had returned. Only then had they sought help from Juxian Academy.

The members of the Garrison Camp also looked astonished at Xiao Bai's sudden appearance.
"Xiao Bai, take a look at this pool. Is there anything unusual inside?"
Xiao Bai walked to the edge
