At the exit of the mystic realm, on a small hill, Karuman had been anxiously waiting for Ron to appear, but after a long wait, he did not appear. He was really worried that something would happen to Ron in the mystic realm.
If Ron could really not get out of the mystic realm, there was no telling how angry his master would be. His hope to get the second half of the book, which he had wanted all along, would be gone.
Karuman kept looking at the place not far away, hoping to see Ron. Many people had come out, but there was no sign of Ron.
Furthermore, everyone who had come out of the mystic realm with a different expression. Some of them were in high spirits. It was obvious with one look that they had reaped a lot from the mystic realm. Some were seriously injured and were lucky to have survived. Some had solemn expressions. Their
companions had probably lost their lives in the mystic realm.
At this moment, Karuman finally saw two people appear at the entrance of the cave. One of them was Ron.
“Great, Ron is fine. Ron is finally out,” Karuman said to himself, and heaved a sigh of relief.
‘When it was time to part, Arfa said, “We’ll part our ways here, then. I hope we are fated to meet again in the future.”
“Take care!”
In the few days in the mystic realm, the two of them had developed a deep friendship. Although it had been important for Ron to guard against Arfa when they first met, he was eventually able to ascertain the other party had no ill intentions. In fact, he was someone worth befriending at a deeper level.
After Karuman had seen Ron part with the other person, he quickly shouted, “Ron!”
Clearly, Ron had not heard him, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. It turned out that several people who had just come out of the trial realm had stopped Ron.
Ron greeted everyone politely and walked in the direction of Karuman with a few others. Along the way, they chatted about various experiences and gains in the mystic realm.
“Uncle Karuman,.” said Ron.
Seeing that Ron had appeared before him unharmed, Karuman was thoroughly relieved. “How has it been? Did you manage to get anything?”
“I’ve reaped a lot of gains, and have so many things to tell you. I met someone inside this time. His name is Arfa. I teamed up with him later on, and the two of us worked very well together.”
“That’s good. It’s good that you can come out safely. I hope you can meet Arfa again in the future. Let’s go home quickly.”
Karuman and Ron boarded the flying ferry they had come in earlier and flew home.
At this moment, on the west side of the mystic realm’s exit, four people were discussing something with grave expressions. They all looked ghastly.
“Why are they not out yet? So many of them had already come out.” This old man had a long white beard. His name was Pajer. He was an expert of the Divine Power Realm from one of the four great clans of Wind Snow City.
‘The old man beside him, who was dressed in purple, was also an expert of the Divine Power Realm from one of the four large family clans. His name was Phil. “Isn’t there still half a day left? Why be anxious? They’ll come out sooner or later.”
Beside him, there was also a petite but elegant old man named Porter. He bent down and said, “Have all of you heard something before you left?”
“What was the matter about? Why hasn’t anyone told me?” The old man who spoke was burly. He had an extraordinary aura. His name was Primo.
‘These four people were the guardians of the trial-takers from the four great clans of Wind Snow City. They had previously discussed privately about Ron and how to deal with him.
However, Primo was elsewhere at that time and did not participate in the discussion, so he was not aware.
And in the present situation, Ron had already come out successfully. He might even be home by now, but none of their four juniors had come out.
‘The four guardians all felt a sense of unease. After all, this trial realm was not that simple. With the slightest carelessness, they might be injured or even lose their lives.
The few of them waited for another two hours. At least a hundred trial-takers had come out through the exit, but there was still no sign of those they were waiting for. This time, the four old men were really anxious.
Moreover, the four juniors basically would not have been working together the entire time. Although, in the eyes of outsiders, the four large family clans appeared to be very harmonious, only the insiders knew about the kind of overt and covert fights that usually happened between them. It was the same
for the few juniors, who often fought secretly.
Therefore, once they entered the trial realm, they would definitely go about their ways separately. But now, not a single person had come out. This was really too unbelievable. The probability of all four of them encountering danger in the trial realm was too low.
“Everyone, let’s wait a little longer.” Primo’s expression had changed completely, as if he had already predicted the outcome, but he was unwilling to believe it. “Isn’t there still an hour’s time? The exit to the trial realm will not be completely closed till an hour later. Someone will definitely come out within
an hour.”
However, an incident of such low probability did indeed happen. An hour later, everyone heard a buzzing sound. A ball of black fog appeared at the exit of the mystic realm. The juniors of the four large family clans still had not come out. Furthermore, the black fog kept shrinking. The few of them could
not wait anymore, and they all ran to the door.
“Wait, we still have juniors who have not come out. Can you give us a little more time?” The few of them hurriedly pleaded with the person in charge of the trial.
Some of those who had accompanied others, who were not out yet, also came forward. “That’s right, let’s wait a while more. They’ll be out in a while.”
“If they don’t come out now, they won’t be able to come out again in the future.”
“There’s no aura of anyone within a hundred meters of here. Moreover, the exit is already unstable. It looks like the odds are against us,” said a ruddy old man.
As he was speaking, the four old men in charge of the trial realm all retracted the energy from the exit. Instantly, the exit and even the entire cave started to shake. In an instant, the exit had closed. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that this had once been a place for the trial.
‘When the people who had accompanied those from the four great clans saw this scene, they were completely dumbfounded. No one had come out. This was totally not what they had not expected.
The four of them had even thought of how they would mock the others if the junior of their own family clan came out earlier. However, they had not expected such an outcome.
Furthermore, they all knew that the trial realm was the safest only in these 15 days. If they did not come out within the 15 days, it would be extremely dangerous in the future.
The juniors of the four large family clans could have already encountered danger. Even if they had been lucky enough to survive, with the dangerous situation in the trial realm, it was impossible for them to last until the next trial realm opened.
