The actions of the Divine Sword Sect confused those hidden individuals. Initially, they only thought that the Sect knew the way to enter. But now they realized that was not the case. After waiting for another two days, they found no one around the ruins. Most hidden individuals finally left.
At this time, Elder Wang took the Divine Sword Sect members hundreds of miles away, where they were cultivating in a mountain. The sect members were unaware of the situation, but they followed Elder Wang's arrangements.
Seven days passed quickly, and only six or seven individuals remained by Xuanming Lake. These individuals belonged to major sects, tasked with constantly surveilling the area. Though the ruins were right there, no one approached, nor were there other people around. They grew bored, but the orders of the sect couldn't be disobeyed, so even feeling bored, they patiently endured.
