"Secret Realm tokens?"
Si Huangquan's eyes flickered as he looked at the token hanging from his waist.
He had fought his way out of the God Character Path alone and had never paid attention to whether his Secret Realm token still worked.
Lu Chen, Ying Haobai, and the others exchanged looks, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.
"I didn't pay much attention before." Zhuo Baiyun rested one hand on his sword, looking thoughtful. "Thinking back now, the Secret Realm tokens may indeed have stopped working. Back on the Ghost Character Valley Path, I personally saw three people try to use their tokens to leave the Secret Realm before vicious ghosts killed them, but none succeeded."
"That's simple enough. We'll know once we test them."
Ying Haobai sneered and casually pointed into the crowd. "You three, try it!"
The three Ninth Rank Martial Cultivators he pointed at all paled slightly, their expressions resistant.
If they tested their tokens, they would have to leave the Secret Realm.
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and pressed a hand to the saber at his waist. "Brother Ying has a point. I'd also like to know whether these Secret Realm tokens still work."
These Secret Realm tokens concerned their very lives. He could hardly ignore the matter.
The three men's faces turned ashen. Then, looking angry, resentful, and unwilling, they took out their Secret Realm tokens.
The next instant, all three frowned deeply, their gazes grave.
"The runes aren't responding. We can't get out."
An uproar immediately swept across the White Jade Plaza.
The four hundred-odd people present wore varied expressions, but most looked solemn after their initial surprise.
Chu Xisheng and Zhou Liangchen also exchanged a glance, each seeing a trace of suspicion in the other's eyes.
It seemed they were not isolated cases.
