"We''ll arrive in around 10 minutes." Elder Shan announced as she changed the flying treasure into auto movement.


    The outer disciples simply nodded their heads as they mustered up their courage. If they wished toe back alive then they needed to prepare their mindset.


    Elder Shan nced at them briefly before looking at Yang Wei, who was seated in a corner with his eyes closed.


    "Are you really sure about joining the expedition?" She sent a mental transmission to him.


    Yang Wei opened his eyes as he tilted his head to nce at Elder Shan.


    "I''m sure." He replied.


    Elder Shan didn''t ask again as she stepped toward the window and wondered silently. ''How many of them are going to return? 70? 50? The Phoenix Sky Sect is truly shameless.''


    Time slowly passed and before everyone knew it, 10 minutes had gone by.


    "They are here already…" Elder Shan muttered when she saw a sea of people standing in their respective corner, just 40 kilometers away from the entrance of the Misty Forest.


    From afar, she could see a g raised up high. The g wasbeled with the Phoenix Sky Sect''s name and their signature symbol, a phoenix.


    She sneered inwardly as she already knew the Phoenix Sky Sect wanted to assert their dominance from the start and warn everyone to understand the consequences of disobeying them.


    Elder Shan controlled the flying treasure as she hovered it toward their designated location.


    "Alright, we have arrived." Elder Shan said as she opened the door and everyone stepped outside of the flying treasure.


    "Heh, it seems like the Feather Wind Sect has finally arrived."


    "I was about to think they wanted to refuse the mandatory summons, given their arrogancetely."


    "What can you do? They were the only sect with a lot of people intact in the mystery realm and it''s obvious for their arrogance. However, I want to see their disciples survive in this expedition."


    Numerous chattering began and they were all discussing the arrival of the Feather Wind Sect.


    Although it hasn''t been made to the public, everyone in a sect knew about the fortuitous loot that the Feather Wind Sect had obtained.


    The rumors about the Feather Wind Sect obtaining the greatest loot were spread among the sects who had their entire disciples and elders annihted.


    After all, they were the ones who got nothing and instead had their strength diminished.


    "Don''t mind their talking." Elder Shan warned the disciples.


    "There are many jealous people out in the world and those who are envious of others would always try to cause trouble." She added.


    The disciples nodded their heads as they sat in the lotus position to wait for further instruction.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei nced around the other sects and noticed a few familiar sects that he had encountered in the mystery realm.


    ''Purple Scorpion Sect… Azure Sword Sect… and Burning Sword Sect…'' Yang Wei noted to himself to watch out from those people.


    His experience with them wasn''t the greatest and based on his understanding. The Purple Scorpion Sect was filled with notorious people that utilized their poisons to harm others.


    If they were to encounter Tang Xin''s group of people and got backstabbed by the poison from Purple Scorpion Sect. Then things would be disastrous.


    Yang Wei knitted his brows when he noticed a Purple Scorpion Sect elder was handing a purplish-green pill to the disciples.


    "Yang Wei, are you okay?" Elder Shan asked. She was concerned about him, most likely due to his rtionship with Elder Jing.


    Yang Wei snapped out of his daze as he voiced his concern to Elder Shan.


    "Elder Shan, we might have to stay further away from the Purple Scorpion Sect. I feared that we would meet with mishaps if we were to be near them." Yang Wei said.


    "Is it because of their usage of poisons?" Elder Shan asked.


    Yang Wei nodded his head.


    He might not be afraid of the poisons because he hade prepared with multiple alchemy pills stored in his storage ring.


    However, the outer disciples might not be as lucky as him as they are poor without many resources in their hands.


    Elder Shan heeded Yang Wei''s warning as she went over to the outer disciples and told them to be wary of those in the Purple Scorpion Sect.


    "Listen, although I''m not sure if any of you have grudges with each other or not. I want you all to throw those out of the windows because as of this moment. Your life is intertwined with each other." Elder Shan said.


    And she continued, "I know some of you have heard of Yang Wei already. But how many of you know that he was the only outer disciple sent to the mystery realm and survived?"


    Elder Shan then paused for a moment to give the outer disciples some time to digest the information.


    Noticeably, Wan Ping held an ugly expression when Elder Shan had mentioned that Yang Wei was the disciple who had his slot reserved for the mystery realm.


    Elder Shan also detected his expression and sighed inwardly. ''This Wan Ping is hopeless.''


    At first, she wanted to let the outer disciples know that the person they should rely on was Yang Wei due to his experience in dangerous situations before.


    Revealing him being the person sent to the mystery realm was to see the reaction of the disciples.


    Those who held an excited expression meant that they were most likely to be the ones to cooperate with Yang Wei and strived their best to survive.


    Meanwhile, people like Wan Ping who held an ugly expression meant that they were harboring some evil intention and were waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.


    Elder Shan shook her head as she secretly flicked some of her spiritual qi onto Wan Ping''s forehead.


    With her high cultivation base and precise control, Wan Ping remained ignorant about what Elder Shan had done to him. Instead, he tried his best to look happy about having Yang Wei to be in their group.


    "Anyway, when you guys head inside the Misty Forest, you should all follow Yang Wei if he ever instructed something."
