123 What Happened To Him?

After some hesitation, two juniors, one from the Flowing River Sect and one from the Ronan Clan stepped forward.

"Clan Leader Waylon, Garlen and I were in a trial where we were attacked by powerful beasts. I...I was able to escape, but unfortunately Garlen wasn't," responded the one boy from the Ronan Clan.

He and his friend had tried their luck in a trial, but only he was unable to make it out alive. Such were the dangers of the pocket realm. It held amazing treasures, but also great danger.

The Flowing River Sect girl spoke up as well, telling a similar story. All the elders were carefully watching them, and found no hints of lies being told.

"A pity," one Elder spoke up.

"Indeed, it's always like this, but it doesn't make it any easier to bear," responded another.

"You may step back," Waylon stated, and the two juniors quickly returned to their groups.
