"Something is very wrong. Even if it's the last day of the Bailian Grand Ceremony, the level of attack shouldn't be this terrifying."

On the morning of the seventh day, Zuo Ya found Gu Xi.

He said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid we won't make it through the last night. I want to ask, can we hide in your Death City and spend this last day?"

If it doesn't work, then I'll have to leave. I can't stay here and wait to die with my brothers.

Faced with Zuo Ya's question, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment before finally saying uncertainly, "I'm not sure if they will discover my city."

What does "uncertain" mean?

Zuo Ya glared at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi did not answer. He couldn't very well say that the other party had no way to get in now, but he couldn't guarantee that his Aryadovi would be able to hold on after he had done something so important.

If he were to be discovered, his choice would certainly be to voluntarily give up and withdraw from this Bailian Grand Ceremony.

Seeing Gu Xi's helpless expression, Zuo Ya understood that Gu Xi couldn't guarantee anything.

He made a decisive decision.

Let's just give up on this Bailian Grand Ceremony and take the people back. As for the other players who want to wait here for the final outcome, that's their own choice. If they come out alive, Zuo Ya and the others won't be jealous; if they die, Zuo Ya won't be sad for them.

However, as he left, Zuo Ya still glanced at Gu Xi.

"If you are not confident that you can save everyone, just tell them the truth and don't give them any hope."

"I will make things clear, but many people will take chances. They think they can find a place to hide, but in the end they find that they can't escape."

Gu Xi understood that Zuo Ya was trying to remind him, so he also said something.

Zuo Ya immediately understood what Gu Xi and nodded to him.

At this moment, Gu Xi added another sentence.

"If you go out now, you may not be able to withdraw from this grand ceremony. If you are willing to trust me, then leave my city."

Zuo Ya was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Gu Xi to make such a suggestion.

Just as he was about to refuse, Gu Xi spoke up, "Yesterday during the day, a friend of mine realized that something was wrong, so I told him to hide in my city for the night."

He agreed, saying he would go out to take care of things that happened during the day and would be back before dark.

Result..."

There was no need to Gu Xi about what happened next; Zuo Ya understood immediately that the situation outside had changed.

It's not safe even during the day.

As for whether Gu Xi's words were credible, Zuo Ya didn't think Gu Xi needed to lie to him.

So he went among the players, calling not only the players from the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild, but also several players he knew.

They discussed it in front of Gu Xi.

Before long, they made a decision: since they were going to leave anyway, it didn't matter which way they went.

What if we go out now and then?

As for whether Gu Xi was Gu Xi to them, who cares? Anyway, they didn't have any points ranking this time, and they've already gotten the good stuff they were supposed to get.

As long as they survive, they will receive a reward when they return to the guild.

On the contrary, those who die here are truly gone.

After discussing it among themselves, the dozen or so of them decided to evacuate right in front of everyone.

[Zuo Ya of Bailian City, withdraw from this world!]

[Fang Xiaoyou Bailian City, you are leaving this world!]

[Bailian City...]

As players exited one by one, those trading nearby also noticed what was happening.

The players who have survived until now are all shrewd and intelligent, and they are well aware of the situation outside, which is currently quite unfavorable for them.

The fact that Zuo Ya demonstrates that they lacked confidence in surviving under such circumstances.

As a result, some timid players, or those who had already made enough money, also made the same choice and began to leave this world.

However, some were willing to withdraw early, while others were stubborn.

They figured they'd made it to the very last day, so what difference would it make if they hid somewhere else? The world couldn't be destroyed, could it?

If they can survive tonight, they will be considered players who have completed the grand ceremony.

Even other guilds have to admit that they are better than the people their guilds send in some aspects.

So even for the sake of this reputation, they will stay.

Besides, they didn't think they couldn't get through this hurdle.

Didn't you see that Gu Xi stayed behind? This shows that Gu Xi was confident he could survive in such an environment.

Besides, if all else fails, I can just hide in Gu Xi's city. Gu Xi won't just ignore me then.

They were right; Gu Xi really wasn't going to care this time.

He opened it up to the public so that players could help him complete some tasks that he couldn't do himself.

For the past two days, Gu Xi had indeed granted access to the Weird Mirror Space, but that didn't mean Gu Xi could guarantee these people would survive.

If Gu Xi runs away first, then none of them will be able to enter the Weird Mirror Space again.

So when the players had left in small groups of more than forty, Gu Xi walked up to the dozen or so players.

He glanced at the players first.

Most of the stubborn players who stayed behind came from small guilds.

Players from large guilds can simply leave as soon as they have a leader.

When they saw Gu Xi arrive, they were quite polite, with one of them even saying, "Mr. Gu, you've come."

"Gentlemen, it's like this. I will definitely be leaving during the day today. When I leave, my Death City will certainly not be able to hold you. I don't know where I will leave you without the protection of the Death City."

Therefore, I will only be open to the public for two hours today. After two hours, the Death City will automatically close. Please understand.

Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, the expressions of these individuals changed.

The reason they stayed was because they believed that Gu Xi was quite safe and that they could Gu Xi there until the Grand Ceremony was over.

If Gu Xi of them, then they won't be able to secure their future.

At this moment, one of the players stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, can't you just leave this city here?"

Gu Xi glanced at him, almost laughing in exasperation.

"What do you think? The Death City, the Undead Three Divine Skills —I said I'd put them here, so do I owe you anything?"

After being rebuked by Gu Xi, these players realized that Gu Xi really didn't owe them anything.

So the players looked at each other, and four or five of them chose to leave early.

However, there were nearly ten stubborn people among them who believed that since it was the last day, they could find a place to get through it.

So they glanced at Gu Xi, then left without looking back.

I don't know what they were thinking. Did they really think Gu Xi would be afraid of them?
