Most survivors are still nervous to come out, even when the sky is all bright. They can go out a bit away from the safe zones but journeying beyond is something they are hesitant about. After all, unlike the group of survivors from the capital, they do not have the Domain Lord's protection with them.
Meanwhile, in the Profound Sect...
A lot of elders were pulling back their young Sect Master. This Sect Master, Bing Qiuya, had gotten so young that a group of old men was able to stop him from leaving the sect to head to the south alone. The words of his master saying to meet him in the south still linger in his mind and he believes that his master isn't dead but still alive even after seeing him turn into a statue of ice.
At the gates of the profound sect, the disciples were watching as a group of old men were hugging the limbs of a handsome young man who barely looks like an adult.
"Sect Master, please don't go out for now!"
