Apart from Heavenly Mechanism Mountain, which has a somewhat similar negative side, the other places actually offer greater safety and freedom from worldly strife," Luo Bin replied.
"Uh..." Xu Lu was momentarily at a loss for words again.
"Your earlier analysis made perfect sense, Mr. Xu. Be patient and take it step by step. At least we can make sure we don't make mistakes," Luo Bin added.
"All right... When you get cautious, Mr. Luo, you really don't mess around." Xu Lu shrugged.

"He's found the place. That Zhan Qing and the others are living in an underground cave, forty or fifty of them." Xu Lu frowned slightly. "Isn't that a bit too many? What's going on here? Have you encountered this before, Mr. Luo?"
Luo Bin shook his head.
"It seems something really has changed drastically here. A lot of the logic has changed, making the rules you knew before largely inapplicable?" Xu Lu continued his analysis.
"That's how it looks right now."
