The Immortal Sect issued an order strictly forbidding any private discussion or spreading of rumors regarding the Mausoleum incident, warning that anyone caught would be severely punished without leniency. This temporarily brought the matter to a close. After all, the others had no personal experience of the event; the forbidden grounds remained the forbidden grounds, and no one had seen what they currently looked like.
Even if people suspected there were supreme treasures hidden within the Mausoleum, it mattered little. Following that day, the Immortal Sect dispatched inner sect disciples to guard the Mausoleum, setting up major formations and restrictions. Anyone wishing to break into the forbidden grounds would first have to see if they had the strength for it.
Although Zhou Chuan was a victim, the incident had started because of him, meaning he bore some responsibility. In the pursuit of the true mastermind, he had paid the price of soul-search, which balanced his merits and demerits. His sect mission was thus considered completed.
