Everyone fell silent, with only the painful screams of the elders suspended in the air. The patriarch then rose again into the sky and, before departing, turned to look at Almin, who still stood firm.
Everyone could see a slight approval in the patriarch's eyes towards this young disciple. Then, the patriarch turned slightly, his eyes quickly passing by Langrum, then falling on the nearby whale. He looked deeply at the whale for a few seconds as if trying to understand something, and everyone saw the patriarch's eyes change slightly again.
The whale stood there, relaxed as if nothing had happened. Those who watched couldn't comprehend what was going on in the minds of either of them. Everything happened very quickly, and soon, the patriarch turned, taking the imprisoned elders with him towards the direction of the tower belonging to the Bloodthirsty Light Sect.
