On the other side, the people of the Immortal Clan felt both heartache and relief.
The heartache came from entering with fiery ambition, only to gain little fortune and lose their Clan Leader here.
The relief was because the Clan Leader had handed the treasure boat and tokens to an elder beforehand due to the need to proceed alone through the trial passage.
If not for that, they might all have been trapped and perished in this secret realm.
With such complex feelings, the strong ones from various factions left the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
While Yu Jian and others were traversing the Star River Formation.
A colossal figure, akin to a towering giant, suddenly appeared in the starry sky outside the formation.
This giant wore a Black and White Taoist Robe, with long hair like a waterfall from the Ninth Heaven, each strand sharp enough to slash through the stars.
Their eyes alone were many times larger than the treasure boats of various forces.
The aura they emitted made the entire starry sky tremble.
Those forces who had failed to enter the secret realm and waited outside to collect the spoils of war.
Now huddled, trembling with fear in a corner under the giant’s feet, watching the giant in terror.
"Why is the Supreme Elder of the Black and White Temple here?"
"Isn’t it said that the Great Powers of the Unity Realm Stage can’t leave their Holy Land at will?"
"This one clearly comes with anger, what happened inside the Returning Ruins Secret Realm?"
"Could it be that this one intends to take everything inside despite the rules?"
The many powerful ones stationed outside carefully restrained their aura while speculating inwardly.
This Unity Realm Great Power from the Black and White Temple appeared suddenly not long ago.
As soon as they came, they stared at the location of the secret realm, could something have happened inside?
"Look, there’s movement in the Silent Extinction Star Sea! Treasure boats are flying out!"
"How come they’re coming out so soon, hasn’t it only been over twenty years?"
"Could this be the reason this one appeared suddenly?"
Seeing the fluctuating Silent Extinction Star Sea and the many treasure boats flying out, the strong ones outside widened their eyes.
At the same time, the giant figure wearing the Black and White Taoist Robe also quivered slightly, causing spatial fluctuations in the starry sky, sweeping more than ten treasure boats away, his eyes fixed on the treasure boats flying out.
"What happened ahead, who is that giant?!"
The commotion outside the Star River Formation could not be concealed from those traversing the formation.
Seeing the vast giant and the terrifying power capable of overturning multiple treasure boats at a glance, everyone was stunned.
Yu Jian’s pupils contracted: "That is... Mo Cangtian from the Black and White Temple, why is he here? I see, all disciples of the Black and White Temple perished inside the secret realm, this Evil Path force cannot sit still!"
Thinking of this, without hesitation, Yu Jian took out an item given by the Sword Master before departure and crushed it!
"Brother Yu Jian, what should we do? That seems to be the Supreme Elder Mo Cangtian of the Black and White Temple, this person is ruthless and a Unity Realm Great Power, we can’t handle him!"
At this moment, Qing Xii’s anxious voice came from a nearby treasure boat.
"Mo Cangtian must be here for Mo Tutian’s death, I’ve informed the Sword Master, just unsure if there’s still time." Yu Jian replied heavily.
"Good heavens, that’s Mo Cangtian, Supreme Elder of the Black and White Temple!"
Other powerful ones also recognized the giant’s origin.
After all, those qualified to enter the Returning Ruins Secret Realm all had long-standing heritages and deep-rooted backgrounds.
They had some knowledge of those age-old Unity Realm monsters, which made them anxious.
"Why is Mo Cangtian here, is he going to tear the treaty?" a strong voice yelled uncontrollably.
Mo Cangtian had a terrifying reputation, reportedly once sacrificing an entire Small World of living creatures in a fit of rage.
With innumerable wronged souls on his hands, he was truly a giant in the Demon Path.
Such a fearsome presence guarding outside the Star River Formation, with Demonic Qi filling the sky, watching them, how could these strong ones not panic.
Especially with the Returning Ruins Secret Realm closing and the Star River Formation soon to fall silent.
They had no retreat, no way to avoid it, forced to sail ahead with gritted teeth.
Before long, the treasure boats gradually sailed out of the Star River Formation.
Just as they left the formation boundary, Mo Cangtian reached out to grasp.
Instantly, a Sky-covering Demon Palm, as large as a star, appeared in the starry sky, reaching for all the treasure boats.
In a flash, space distorted, more than ten treasure boats just out of the secret realm were uncontrollably flying towards the Sky-covering Demon Palm.
"No! You, as a Unity Realm Great Power, are you really going to act against us juniors, disregarding your identity?"
"Spare us, senior, we’ve done nothing offensive, please show mercy!"
"Senior, the deaths of the Black and White Temple disciples have nothing to do with us, please see clearly!"
Seeing their treasure boats flying towards Mo Cangtian’s hand, everyone was terrified, shouting desperately.
