After the disciples discovered that the Dark Emperor's tomb was phony, they all no longer had the will to fight and compete any more and they joined hands to escape the Heaven's End Cliff. This was also the reason why they had all come to appear here at the same time.
If it had been just disciples from one or two of the palaces coming back to report, it might be really be believed. But when disciples from almost all the palaces were saying the same thing, then it must definitely be true!
In an instant, the faces of all the Palace Lords turned white. They would never ever have thought that the Dark Emperor's tomb that had drained so much of their efforts would turn out to be empty…..
The immense blow that struck all the Palace Lords caused their hearts to wince in pain. Only the Heavens would know that for the past close to a thousand years, in order to locate the Dark Emperor's tomb, just how many of their most elite people and riches they had sacrificed.
