Outside the Undersea Void Realm, Hai Zhantian and Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon stood together before the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm, anxiously waiting. Large beads of sweat dripped down their faces, and their hearts were practically in their throats.
Time passed slowly, and everyone present knew that the Undersea Void Realm was in danger of collapsing. The complete collapse of the Undersea Void Realm was probably imminent. However, the two members of the clan and Xiao Yan, who had gone to rescue people, had not yet emerged from it. This made everyone present secretly sweat for the three of them.
Hai Mochen stared intently at the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm. Although his face remained calm, he was incredibly nervous inside. Even though he had boundless confidence in Xiao Yan, he couldn't be sure if the latter could really come out.
"Buzzing..."
Suddenly, the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm, which had been relatively calm, trembled violently and flashed with light. Immediately afterward, two figures clad in black robes flashed out from within. In an instant, Hai Zhantian and Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon, who had been staring at the entrance, immediately turned their gazes to the two figures. With their powerful cultivation, they instantly recognized their identities.
" Ling'er!"
" Xue Mian!"
The two spoke in unison, their voices overflowing with unbridled joy. In an instant, the enormous weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted. They both sprang forward, each embracing the child tightly. At the same time, the two parents clearly saw the man and woman's hands clasped together...
Oblivious to their own overwhelming joy, the two were so consumed by their emotions that tears welled up in their eyes and nearly rolled down their cheeks.
The two young people were startled by the actions of the two elders. Soon after, when they came to their senses, the girl saw the blue-haired middle-aged man behind Hai Zhantian, who was her father and breathed a sigh of relief.
As a father, the latter's feelings for his daughter were naturally no less than those for her grandfather. However, as the head of the clan, he had to prioritize the clan's interests and maintain his dignity in front of his members. Only now, seeing his daughter unharmed, did this father finally manage to tear up...
After a long while, Hai Zhantian and the Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon finally released the child from their arms, but still looked at the young man and girl with smiles on their faces. Just then, Hai Mochen stepped forward, looked at Xue Mian, and asked:
"Where's Xiao Yan? Shouldn't he be with you?"
Noticing the black robes the two were wearing, Hai Mochen immediately knew that Xiao Yan had been traveling with them. However, at this moment, Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er had successfully escaped from the Undersea Void Realm, but Xiao Yan was nowhere to be found, which only intensified Hai Mochen's worries.
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately came to their senses. Indeed, they were happy for Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er's return, but they seemed to have forgotten about Xiao Yan, who had entered the Undersea Void Realm to rescue them. They had no idea what Xiao Yan was still in the Undersea Void Realm, and his situation was certainly not good.
Upon hearing Hai Mochen's words, the joy that Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er had just shown after escaping their predicament immediately faded. Both of them lowered their heads, their expressions extremely solemn. Then, Xue Mian recounted in detail what had happened to them in the Undersea Void Realm, including how Xiao Yan found them and helped them fight off the demonic beasts.
Upon hearing Xue Mian's words, the expressions of the people present changed slightly. While they were moved by Xiao Yan's actions, they also felt a sense of worry for his current situation.
"That kid... he won't have any problems, will he?"
Hai Zhantian hesitated before turning his gaze to Hai Mochen. As he spoke, a hint of guilt crossed his face. After all, the reason Xiao Yan entered the Undersea Void Realm was ultimately because of him; otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't have encountered such danger.
"Sigh... Even I'm not sure now. I just hope he can pull through. He's come all this way; I don't want him to collapse like this!"
With a long sigh, even Hai Mochen felt a sense of helplessness. Hai Zhantian was speechless. The heavy stone that had just been lifted from his heart was now hanging high again. At the same time, the atmosphere on the field became heavy again, even more so than before.
Xue Mian approached the girl's side, and the two exchanged a glance, both looking worried. The girl's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her slender hand clutching the corner of her black robe, her gaze fixed on the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm, waiting intently.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm trembled violently, and a huge roar echoed across the seabed. A tremendous suction force surged outward from the entrance, but fortunately, the seawater in this area had been forcibly emptied by Hai Zhantian, leaving a huge open space where everyone was. Therefore, no seawater poured into the Undersea Void Realm.
However, the sudden change in the Undersea Void Realm caused the expressions of everyone present to change drastically, especially Hai Mochen and Hai Zhantian. The two of them clenched their hands tightly under their sleeves, cold sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads, and even their hearts trembled.
" Xiao Yan, you absolutely have to come out!"
Hai Mochen squinted, his gaze fixed on the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm, suppressing his emotions and waiting anxiously.
Meanwhile, in the Undersea Void Realm, after a difficult struggle, Xiao Yan finally entered the exit of the Undersea Void Realm. But almost at the same time, the entire Undersea Void Realm collapsed, and the exit of the Undersea Void Realm was also collapsing at an extremely fast speed, about to catch up with Xiao Yan ahead.
If this passage collapses completely before Xiao Yan leaves, then he will have no chance to escape and will fall into this endless void. His fate will be unpredictable!
Soon, at the end of Xiao Yan's line of sight, a blue light screen could be seen. That was the exit from the Undersea Void Realm. Once he passed through there, everything that happened behind him would be completely irrelevant to Xiao Yan.
However, at that very moment, the passage in front of Xiao Yan suddenly began to collapse!
At the same time, the light screen at the edge of the field of vision gradually dimmed, and then the huge exit shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once it disappeared completely, Xiao Yan would never be able to leave this place again!
Outside, Hai Mochen and his group watched as the Undersea Void Realm entrance rapidly shrank and disappeared, their emotions intensifying. Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, their hearts filled with anticipation, yet their faces couldn't help but reveal expressions of dejection.
As the entrance to the Undersea Void Realm transformed into a palm-sized halo of light, and then vanished completely, everyone present lowered their heads, their last glimmer of hope utterly extinguished.
However, almost at the same time, the black robe on Xue Mian's body, as well as the black robe clutched in Hai Ling'er's hand, also vanished silently...
