Interference

In reality.

As the dark aura spreading to everyone grew thicker, a large number of people were continuously sent out of the Heart-Questioning Road.

Almost everyone who had just been escorted out of the Heart-Questioning Road looked lingering fear.

They subconsciously parted to make way for those who followed them out.

He looked dazed and couldn't shake off the dream he had just had.

Upon seeing this, Sun Yigao Qin Jianghe, and others hurriedly went over to check on the situation of these people.

Because there were too many people, those with Foundation Establishment above Foundation Establishment used the "Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare" technique, condensing Spiritual Power into a net to cover their own bodies in order to check on everyone's condition.

Those in the Qi Refining Stage, however, were generally treated one at a time.

Everyone in the Lingxian Sect was trying their best to complete the check-up as quickly as possible to ensure that everyone was fine.

Fortunately, although most of the people who came out were in a daze, they were still physically and mentally stable.

The number of people on the mountain path is decreasing, while the number of people at the foot of the mountain is increasing.

Seeing that everyone was too preoccupied to pay attention, Sun Yigao immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent the situation to Liu Yunan in the sect.

Seeing so many people who participated in the Lingxian Sect disciple assessment being eliminated so suddenly, the onlookers wondered what had happened.

But some people recognized Sun Yigao and Qin Jianghe. When they saw them appear, they all looked serious, as if they were checking on those who had been eliminated. Everyone took a step back.

Give them more space.

The previously incessant discussions gradually faded away without anyone noticing.

Meanwhile, in the main control room, the console finally displayed information to Liu Yunan.

[Note: The dreamscapes of everyone on the Heart-Questioning Road have been affected by third-party interference and have now been connected. The difficulty levels of everyone's Inquiry are being synchronized.]

[Note: Third-party interference detected. The Heart-Questioning Road has activated emergency protection mode and will end the test before the testee's psychological defenses are completely breached.]

[Note: Based on the overall assessment of the intensity of third-party interference, the current strength level of the Heart-Questioning Road cannot stop the interference. If you wish to stop it, you need to consume 500,000 Spirit Stone from the sect's Spirit Stone mine to forcibly upgrade the strength. Do you wish to upgrade?]

Three consecutive notifications popped up on the console, hovering in front of Liu Yunan.

Looking at the contents, he felt a little puzzled.

Why did this so-called "third-party interference" suddenly appear, and how could it connect the dreams of everyone on the Heart-Questioning Road?

Just then, Sun Yigao's Sound Transmission Talisman arrived.

After hearing about Heart-Questioning Road, he finally understood the general situation.

It seems that the root of the problem, the so-called "third-party interference," comes from Tong Jialiang.

For some unknown reason, Tong Jialiang's condition has become so serious...

Suddenly, he remembered the reason for Tong Jialiang's illness.

That was the time the Execution Stone.

In a flash, he seemed to understand something.

Just then, Sun Yigao's second Sound Transmission Talisman arrived.

"Yunan, I just asked some of the people who came out, and they all said that in the latter half of their respective dreams, a major change suddenly occurred almost overnight."

"Based on the current situation, it's highly likely that everyone's dreams have been affected by Tong Jialiang's illness, forcing them to face a significantly increased difficulty level in their dream challenges."

"I was careless this time. I didn't expect Jialiang's condition to be so serious that it would interfere with Heart-Questioning Road..."

After hearing what Sun Yigao said, Liu Yunan became even more certain of his guess.

As someone who has gone through many rounds of Heart-Questioning Road, he is well aware of the intensity of his own Heart-Questioning Road.

It is precisely because we understand this that we can be even more certain that Tong Jialiang's personal mental illness, as an ordinary person, could not possibly be a factor interfering with the path of Heart-Questioning Road.

It's still the Heart-Questioning Road Brother Xiao has increased in difficulty several times.

Brother Xiao had also told him that in their sect's Heart-Questioning Road, even those at the Spirit Transformation Stage had to obediently accept the test.

Therefore, he believes that the current emergency is definitely related to the Execution Stone Mine.

Having figured out the reasons, there was no good solution.

Should we suspend the assessment?

Looking at the two options in front of him, "Yes" and "No," he hesitated.

If the operation is terminated directly, their sect's Spirit Stone mine will have 500,000 Spirit Stone deducted from it at once.

After all, their sect's Spirit Stone mine wasn't a super-large mine, and he had used up quite a bit of his capacity recently when upgrading the capacity of the Heart-Questioning Road.

Although 500,000 Spirit Stone should be enough based on the current reserves of the Spirit Stone mine, doing so would still result in significant damage.

Although the Spirit Stone mine can be restored because the sect has Spirit Vein, if it is emptied out all at once, it will be much more difficult to replenish it than to restore it by mining small amounts at a time.

Furthermore, the console prompts also indicate that, in the current situation, Heart-Questioning Road can send people out as if they have failed the assessment before their psychological defenses are broken down.

However, if he doesn't stop, he's unsure what those still on the Heart-Questioning Road will experience.

Will anything else happen after this...?

Moreover, this was a recruitment drive that their sect had been preparing for for so long...

Just as Liu Yunan hesitated, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above Lingxian Sect and even the entire area within a hundred miles of North Mountain!

The churning clouds grew thicker and thicker.

Thick bolts of lightning occasionally flashed by amidst the friction of the dark clouds.

The flashes of lightning and the ever-growing thunder instantly drew the attention of everyone on the ground.

Those who had just emerged from the Heart-Questioning Road at the foot of the mountain looked up and saw this familiar scene.

However, the churning dark clouds and lightning were not like the oppressive, suffocating darkness they had felt at the end of their dream.

Instead, it gave them a sense of new beginnings through destruction.

Let them look forward to the new world that will emerge after the dark clouds break.

People at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but stop and watch, drawn by the sudden change in the weather.

The first thought that it was going to rain was that people who wanted to go back to the village to take shelter from the rain forgot about leaving.

The commotion naturally alerted Liu Yunan in the control room.

Hearing the commotion outside, he quickly went out.

The people of the Lingxian Sect at the foot of the mountain, like everyone else, looked up at the lightning and thunder in the sky.

For some reason, everyone felt a sudden, unanimous desire for the lightning above to strike.

Sun Yigao and his group at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yunan on the mountain, and all the other Lingxian Sect members suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

As if by telepathy, they smiled, looked up at the sky shrouded in thunderclouds, and their eyes were filled with laughter.

Their sect leader is about to emerge!
