Seeing people emerge from the Ancient Tomb, the crowd waiting outside immediately swarmed forward.
"How did it go? Did you get anything?" someone asked impatiently.

"Xiaowen, what's going on? What happened?" Luo Wenqing asked, frowning at the strange scene.
"Wu Mengqi triggered a mechanism in the Spirit Emperor's Tomb. We suffered heavy losses, and most of our people perished inside!" Luo Xiaowen recounted everything that happened in the Ancient Tomb, but she completely omitted any mention of Shen Haoran.
"What about Younger Brother Shen?" Luo Wenqing asked.
