Sudden realization

There was a powerful wave of spiritual energy that came from the whip being pulled apart like this. 

This wave of spiritual energy was able to push everyone away from the young master, but it wasn't a wave of spiritual energy that discriminated. This wave of spiritual energy pushed everyone away from the young master, including the lackeys that had been around him.

When it was over, the young master was just standing there in an open space all by himself.

Everything that had been around him had been pushed back.

But there was nothing that appeared around him.

It was as if his attempt at summoning someone had failed.

The demonic cultivators were confused at first when they saw that there was nothing there and had been wary just in case something did happen, but they found that they were cautious for nothing.

After realizing that nothing had changed, the demonic cultivators started approaching the young master.
