Unity retracted her consciousness from Shi Lang's soul sea and said, "The alliance may proceed." 

The people did not know what just transpired between the two entities. The spirit beast community was so surprised that they could not believe what just happened.

They all had doubts in their hearts but they did not dare to mention any of them. The situation was not simple and the two people involved were also not simple. So, they decided not to look deep into this matter, and gladly followed what the Sword spirit said.
