The cacophony of wind and commotion was the most prevalent sound of all after the gate opened. Lin Suci seemed to hear Yan Boshen saying something. But even when he erected his ears and relied on his keen kitty sense of hearing, he could not make out what Yan Boshen was saying. So, the first thing he did upon stepping out of the gate was to look up blankly at Yan Boshen and tug at his sleeve to ask what he had just said.

A pity that Yan Boshen had a heart of stone. No matter how Lin Suci probed, he enigmatically refused to reveal a word to him.

There were over a hundred disciples who had entered the secret realm. The sudden opening of the gate and closure of the secret realm threw them into confusion. Like dumplings being thrown into the pot, a dense mass of hundreds of disciples fell out of the secret realm one after another, calling out to each other as they searched all over for their own fellow sect members.

Lin Suci was lucky to be carried in Yan Boshen’s arms all this while, so he was largely unaffected despite all the tossing and tumbling around earlier.

Having failed to pry the words out of Yan Boshen’s mouth, Lin Suci wrinkled his nose and simply decided not to think about it. He craned his neck out to look all around for his own fellow seniors.

Lin Suci’s eyes widened in a stare around the sea of people. With a talisman to enhance his vision stuck to his forehead, he swiftly searched among the crowd before he caught sight of one.

“Third shixiong! Here!”

Huilian cut a sorry sight as he staggered around with Zhongli Haiming in his arms, while Xiaolan was still holding up a spiritual beast high above his head. All three of them were at a loss and in a fluster. But when they saw their little junior waving his arms at them from afar, their eyes brightened, and they forcibly squeezed their way through the crowd.

Yan Boshen finally released his grip when they reached outside.

Once Lin Suci and his seniors gathered together, Xiaolan probed, “How did you guys suddenly fall into the lake? Are you alright? We went down and swam a few rounds to look for you but to no avail. What happened?”

Lin Suci spontaneously blurted out, “There’s a cave at the bottom of the lake. We made our way out from there.”

“Luckily you’re both fine…”

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he stuffed the howling spiritual beast in his hands into his spiritual bag.

“Are those few people still in your spiritual bag?” This was the first thing Huilian asked on coming over.

Lin Suci pointed with his hand, “All fully secured with our eldest shixiong.”

Whether it was Qian Guan or Hu Se, they were all important witnesses to this whole shady business. But the most crucial one was still that youth from the Golden Jade Pavilion.

The disciples outside had already more or less found their fellow sect members. They whispered among one another, totally unable to make any sense of the sudden closure of the secret realm and the opening of the gate. However, this did not stop them from launching a crusade against the Golden Jade Pavilion.

The various sects’ disciples had dispersed and parted ways in the secret realm. So that show Lin Suci had put on had only been witnessed by twenty or thirty people. But after these twenty, thirty people spread it on to the people around them, over a hundred people all came to know exactly what had transpired at that time.

Leaving the others aside for now, just the mere mention of the corrosive effect of the bamboo destroying grass alone could drain the color from everyone’s faces. The chief disciples of the various sects thus gathered together in batches to mutually exchange information and discuss the matter.
