Eighteen of the Situ family's youths were flying with great difficulty within the Fairy Confining Forest. They were all in low spirits, and grief and sadness were apparent on all of their faces as they were running through the muddy forest.
Still, they could be considered fortunate in comparison to those families' disciples who had entered the Hundred Beasts Valley. They had all tagged along with Su Yu, and when they had just reached the valley's entrance, they had discovered that a Beast Tide had just erupted within it.
Luckily, they had managed to escape in time due to this foreknowledge. Meanwhile, Situ Yan, Su Yu, and the others, who didn't exit at that time, were assumed to have died in the Beast Tide.
