The crowd around the gate location was silent the entire time Damien and the Heavenly Jewel Palace Master were gone. They used the brief moment of respite to process the events that took place prior.
First, Jiao Mei placed extremely high on the Dimensional Leaderboard. Afterwards, she was almost killed by the Heavenly Jewel Palace Master for killing his son. But before this could happen, a mysterious man appeared, ranking in the top 1000 of the Dimensional Leaderboard and saving Jiao Mei.
How he and the Heavenly Jewel Palace Master disappeared or where they were going was a mystery. But before they could even make their guesses, Damien returned. The total time he was gone wasn't more than 10 minutes.
And when he returned, he did so alone.
His eyes panned the crowd, causing them to freeze up in terror. His gaze briefly stopped on the Eclipse Sect Master before turning to Zara, who was holding Jiao Mei.
