Today marked the final day of the exploration of the secret realm, Blood Mist Valley.
Seven days had passed, and the barren region outside was finally buzzing with activity as several figures exuding Gold Core auras gathered in the air.
Among them, the Peak Elders of the four sects stood out.
Elder Jianhong of the Divine Cauldron Sect, Elder Hua Yuelian of Hundred Flowers Valley, Elder Tie Shan of the Iron Crane Sect, and Lu Sheng, the Elder of Black Lotus Peak.
Each of them wore a solemn expression, their thoughts hidden behind calm exteriors.
"Is it time? Let's open the portal."
When the sun reached its peak, Elder Jianhong spoke lightly. The sword lodged behind his back hummed faintly in response.
"Yeah… It's time. I hope my disciples give me a surprise, haha."
Tie Shan laughed softly, unmistakable anticipation flashing in his eyes. His taut, rigorous muscles stirred faintly with excitement.
