The place fell completely silent once Senior Nie revealed Yuan's identity to the Sect Masters.
Since none of the Sect Masters were directly involved in the Mystic Realm, none of them recognized Yuan. However, they were definitely intrigued by his existence, as he was able to open the Mystic Pagoda that had been sealed for countless years.
They also didn't think that they would be meeting him anytime soon, as it hasn't been that long since the Mystic Realm ended.
After many moments of silence, Sun Hao spoke, "I'm sorry, Senior Nie, but I won't be able to back down— I can't. I simply can't forgive him, who severed my arm. He must pay for it!"
Bai Enjue then said, "I also won't stop now. I don't have any grudges against him, but I cannot put down my sword after fighting him— my pride won't allow it."
Senior Nie sighed after hearing their words, but he didn't continue to persuade them.
