The commotion outside the mountain gate quickly drew the attention of the Myriad Swords Sect.
Shortly after, the Myriad Swords Sect Master arrived in person.
With a face full of apology, he explained, "Everyone, I am truly sorry, really sorry."
"It's not that our sect deliberately concealed anything; it's just that this hidden danger poses no real threat."
"The Beast Tide is imminent, and elite disciples from each sect are eager to enhance their strength."
"Our Myriad Swords Sect, following the orders of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, opened the Sword Forest to contribute our part to the bigger picture."
"Thus, we invited people from the True Thunder Sect to eliminate the hidden danger without shutting down the Sword Forest."
"If anyone still feels uneasy, you may turn back now, and our sect will provide food and transportation for the journey."
With words spoken to this extent.
The anger in everyone's hearts dissipated.
