Dead silence ensued.
Many people had already noticed that something was amiss when all five of the Taiyu Dynasty's people failed to show up when everyone else had come out of Ancient Phoenix Mountain after Jun Jiuqing ordered everyone to leave the mountain. The possibility that the Taiyu Dynasty's people were dead had already occurred to them, although it only became certain when Dantai Chen voiced his question.
Those who were able to join Dantai Chen on this trip and were qualified to enter Ancient Phoenix Mountain were Taiyu Dynasty's top geniuses. The loss of any one of them was a great shame, what more all five of them—including Dantai Chen's precious daughter, Dantai Ruoli.
"That explains Dantai Chen's odd behavior these few days. It turns out that his people are dead… It seems like he already knew about this at the time."
"How terrifying! All five of them are dead?"
