Yue'er watched as a fissure appeared in the mountains ahead. The crack seemed like a door within an illusion, its interior shrouded in mystery.
A member of one clan spoke up, "We'll take our leave then." As soon as the words left his mouth, twenty figures led the way toward the fissure, their forms vanishing into the illusory void.
With one clan entering, the others seemed afraid of being left behind. They too led their families into the fissure.
Shen Shiqi nodded to Yun Qi, glanced at Xiao Junyan, smiled, and followed the others inside.
"Everyone, follow me," Xiao Junyan commanded, leading his group toward the fissure.
After their group entered, the fissure gently closed, returning to its original state. The Patriarchs exchanged glances, exchanged a perfunctory bow, and then each departed.
