Just then, more people came scrambling out, looking utterly disheveled.
As soon as they emerged, they shouted in a panic.
"Elder Wu, something terrible has happened! Someone impersonated Li Meng, snuck into the Secret Realm, and killed Senior Sister Song Lan Tian and the others!"
The declaration was a bombshell, stunning everyone present.

Song Wanning, however, remained perfectly composed, not a hint of panic on her face.
They glanced at her, and the taut string of tension within them loosened slightly.
"What did you say?"
