Recognizing that something was amiss, the followers of the Supreme Sect came to an abrupt halt. Eerie sounds had reached their ears, compelling them to consider departing from Xuhai City.
However, during their departure from the city, an unsettling sensation gripped the disciples of the Supreme Sect. They found themselves not only separated from their companions but also unable to make headway beyond the city's boundaries. This realization infused them with fear, the kind that breeds panic, urging them to backtrack. To their dismay, it dawned upon them that they weren't making any progress in escaping Xuhai City. Instead, they were merely wandering through a desolate expanse, overgrown with weeds, the entirety of the Supreme Sect's disciples clustered together.
This baffling circumstance left the disciples of the Supreme Sect bewildered. A silent exchange of glances took place, a shared inquiry into the unfolding strangeness.
