Everyone inside the cavern exchanged bewildered glances. For a moment, they seemed unsure of what to do next. The presence of that eerie eye had been so overwhelming that even after its departure, a lingering sense of dread and disbelief remained in their hearts.

Yu Sheng shook his head. “It’s truly gone. At least, it’s no longer in this realm.”
He was sure of it because he could feel that the constant “gaze” that had enveloped the valley had finally disappeared.

Yu Sheng pondered for a moment. “Maybe it was just resting here, and now that it’s had enough, it left.”
Irene stared at him, looking skeptical. “R-really?”
