“Haha, I came out of there a level two royal saint! And it’s only been three months!” A man eximed in


    joy. He seemed to be one of the ones who had made significant progress.


    “Hic… Hic… where’s my junior sister? Is she dead?!” Another man knelt on the ground and cried


    bitterly,


    seemingly mourning the loss of someone he loved.


    In the past, the odds were good if one–third of the participants were able to exit the Paradise Secret


    Realm. Though a substantial number of disciples from second–tier sects had sessfully made it out


    alive, two first–tier sects–namely the Horizon Sect and the Highworld Sect–were conspicuously few in


    number.


    Severin soon emerged from the realm along with many of their otherpanions.


    Upon exiting the realm, Severin noticed that there were very few disciples from the Highworld Sect and


    the Horizon Sect. Those that remained were undoubtedly those that Severin did not encounter then.


    “How much longer will the wormhole open?” Severin asked, ncing at the light on the stone wall.

    “About two hours. The light will vanish after that, indicating that the surviving people have already


    exited the realm. If anyone isn’t out by then, then they would’ve already died somewhere inside the


    realm.” Heidi answered. She then directed her gaze toward the two sects and added with a smile, “Our


    losses were minimal chiefly because we didn’t let our guard down, and also because you managed to


    eliminate many of their high–level disciples. I can’t say the same for them though.”


    One of the Horizon Sect’s disciples noticed that the Skyblue Sect’s disciples were growing in number,


    which contrasted starkly with the paltry few from the Horizon Sect. His expression soured, and many of


    hispanions shared the sentiment that something was amiss.


    Two hours psed quickly. Out of two thousand and four hundred Skyblue Sect disciples that entered


    Initially, a thousand and eight hundred exited safely.


    Conversely, only a little over two hundred Horizon Sect disciples remained even though they had sent


    in the same number of disciples as the Skyblue Sect. The difference was jarring.


    Over at the Highworld Sect’s end, one of their disciples asked furiously, “What happened? Why are


    there. only three hundred remaining out of more than a thousand of our disciples?”


    At that point, the Paradise Secret Realm had sealed offpletely, and everyone knew all too well


    what


    had happened to those who were not with them.
