Yunzhongzi stood before Hu Yuan and the others, a gratifying smile on his face. "Well done, you succeeded." Hu Yuan and the others looked at each other, each feeling as though they had lived through a lifetime.

Hu Yuan took a deep breath, glancing around at the others. "After everything we've been through, I can't help feeling that this is only the beginning." A mixture of unease and anticipation colored his voice.
