It's dawn.
On the morning of the third day after the city was closed, tens of thousands of monks in Tianque City jumped out of bed in shock at a piece of news.
Luo Qinghe, the head of the Xuantian Sect, posted a notice at the gate of the sect's residence - officially announcing his withdrawal from this Ten Thousand Immortals Conference and requesting the Immortal Alliance to lift the lockdown and open the city gates.
Reason: "There is a large-scale formation structure of unknown origin underground in Tianque City. The Immortal Alliance has not explained it, which poses a major safety hazard. In order to ensure the safety of the sect disciples, Xuantian Sect has decided to withdraw from the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference."
Almost at the same time - Biluo Palace, Cangqiong Pavilion, Jiuyou Palace, and Taixu Temple posted notices with almost identical contents at their respective locations.
Five major sects. Exit at the same time.
The news spread like an explosion in Tianque City.
The streets were full of chatter.
"Five sects withdrawing at the same time? What's going on?"
"Is there a formation underground? What formation?"
