Outside of the secret realm, the many elders of all the sects that had come were gathered in a large hall simply talking among themselves. Some of these people hadn't seen each other in centuries, so it was time to catch up to each other.
As they chatted, they all suddenly sensed something.
"Already?" one of them asked in surprise.
"It's only been half a day. It's not even night yet," someone else said.
Elder Shang noticed it as well and checked to see if the ones that had been teleported out just now were individuals of her sect. When she realized that it wasn't, she went back to talking to the elders of the other sects.
So long as the person who was sent out of the secret realm wasn't a member of their sect, none of the elders cared much about what was happening within the secret realm.
