The air in the courtyard where the cultivators had gathered seemed charged with a mixture of relief and anticipation. Elder Zhao, Elder Mei, Zhen Yi, Liara, and Enric exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued by the unexpected turn of events. The cultivators who were supposedly taken away by Li Xian were now walking towards them, wearing expressions of confusion.
Li Xian, the enigmatic figure overseeing the trials, stepped forward, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. The atmosphere was tense, yet there was an air of reassurance in his demeanor. He addressed the gathered cultivators, "Fear not, courageous ones. The trials were never a death trap. Instead, they were a test of your mettle, your resilience, and your ability to face the unknown."
