"Failed?"
In the still silence of the mountainside space, someone uttered a voice that was complex to the extreme.
That voice seemed uncertain of its own thoughts, hence it sought confirmation.
The somber atmosphere that had enveloped those within the mountainside space was instantly shattered, as a hint of bitterness emerged on everyone's faces.
This included Ouyang Hong, Chi Qingqiu, and Deng JiuShou, all wearing an identical expression of dismay.
No one answered the question, for none could be certain of the outcome; perhaps everyone wanted to deceive themselves, so their gazes remained fixed on the stone door at that moment.
Clearly, such a failure was unacceptable to all; they had clearly seen the bloodline and the groove's endpoints align, yet the stone door showed no signs of opening.
Not only was there no movement, but the bloodline had also lost its luster, as if it had dried up.
