They weren't released because the thief had been found. Rather, on the third day of the lockdown, several menacing figures had descended upon the Celestial Sword Sect.
For the next few days, the entire Celestial Sword Sect, and even all of Ten Thousand Swords City, was shrouded in an invisible, oppressive aura. Even Song Changsheng found it impossible to cultivate in peace, constantly feeling as if he were being watched.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for twenty-six ancient hours. On the fifth day, the oppressive aura vanished, and the Celestial Sword Sect finally announced the lockdown was lifted, allowing Song Changsheng to finally begin his journey home.
