As we continued forward, more and more members of the Shaozheng family gathered in the distance, looking as though they regarded us as the culprits. This prompted Beihu Yun to ask me about the situation through a focused transmission. After all, the current circumstances were enough to frighten every contestant.
Even Mao Chuchu moved closer to me and wrapped her arm around mine, wearing a worried and frightened expression. With the Shaozheng family following us like debt collectors, no one could possibly feel happy.
"This..." Geng Xiu looked at Xin Xiaoyun, who was accompanying her, and Xin Xiaoyun was also somewhat surprised. She hurriedly sent a voice transmission to an elder of the Infinite Realm standing not far in front of her. That elder glanced back at us, then said, "Contestants, please do not worry. With the Immortals of the Cold Immortal Sect here, we can guarantee your safety."
"Sorry for the trouble." Beihu Yun answered quickly. She was the captain of this group, so of course she had to respond on everyone's behalf. Judging by her reaction after receiving the answer, however, she had performed exceptionally well. If it had been someone else, they would have at least changed color on the spot upon hearing the whole story. This girl was clearly destined to accomplish great things in the future.
The elder said nothing more and instead looked straight ahead in silence. By now, at least thirty or more people of the Dao Three Realm from the Shaozheng family had followed us, both ahead and behind, creating an atmosphere where the slightest spark could set everything ablaze.
I remained expressionless and naturally ignored them. The reasons they had targeted us were not surprising. First, we had close ties with the imperial family and a solid foundation of friendly relations
