Because they knew, once the anomaly had disappeared, Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke's Heir, very likely had already used the opportunity he had obtained from the Secret Realm.
Even if they were to force their way into Duke Zhen's Mansion now, peering into Cheng Guang's obtained fortunes, they could no longer snatch it away.

The Bureau of the Lamp's constables didn't continue their pursuit either.
They simply exhaled slightly and quietly stood with their knives on the eaves, watching the others leave.
Gradually,
the atmosphere around Duke Zhen's Mansion became quieter and quieter.
