Safety Is No Small Matter

Buzz!

The moment the sound faded, Lu Changzhi suddenly understood what it meant to have his head buzzing.

It turns out, this really wasn't just a description.

It was a real, audible buzzing sound.

The once noisy and bustling surroundings were now replaced by a buzzing sound, mixed with a tinnitus-like noise.

As for the surrounding scene, it was in a state of utter chaos, reflecting the utter bewilderment of the young man who had used the Memento Jade.

As for the rest of the content, it was as chaotic as ever.

Amidst the chaos, there were screams, the furious roars of monsters at close range, muffled thuds, and the sound of the ground shaking.

There was a splash as the water entered, and then the surrounding sounds became muffled, like those in a drum, no longer clear.

The video abruptly ends there.

Nothing more was recorded after that, however, the intention left behind by the person who used the Memento Jade.

The whole thing was said in a rushed and hurried manner, but it did provide some information.

These people came to this secret realm to participate in the trial, and three powerful elders were there to prevent accidents and ensure fairness.

All they had to do was open up the city, hunt down the Beast Race, and accumulate light.

Originally, the strength of the Beast Race was limited; although they weren't the kind to slaughter indiscriminately, they weren't far beyond their ability to handle either.

But for some unknown reason, an accident occurred, causing a large number of incredibly powerful Beast Race to appear in this secret realm, even resulting in the death of the elders.

The only hope now is that a powerful member of the Xia Clan will come to the secret realm and discover me.

That's all.

However, judging from what followed, it seems likely that something unexpected still happened.

"A large number of Beast Race appeared out of nowhere, and even the Xia Clan's powerful members perished because of them?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

That explains why there are so many storage rings and unexplored cities here.

In such a critical situation, there was clearly no time to spare.

And judging from the current situation, the so-called Xia Clan probably hasn't even come here.

"It's a pity that it provides so little information."

Lu Changzhi shook his head secretly.

Despite the existing crisis, it also explained why the secret realm was like this.

However, the origins of those Beast Race, their exact strength, and the cultivation levels of the three elders were not explained at all.

This means there are fewer resources available for use.

"But."

Thinking of Qin Li's training mission, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly:

"Perhaps this is the real reason why the training mission was chosen to take place in this secret realm?"

It should be noted that, despite their own considerable speed and the assistance from the Eighteen City, they have only managed to kill nearly half of the spirit beasts.

Furthermore, it is foreseeable that the collection speed will inevitably decrease gradually in the future.

The number of spirit beasts in the secret realm has decreased significantly, and they rarely gather together anymore. The time spent searching for spirit beasts has even begun to far exceed the time spent hunting them.

Furthermore, clues can be gleaned from the intensity of the beast tides at night during this period.

The large number of Beast Race mentioned in this Memento Jade, especially the spirit beasts, could certainly be used to complete the trial mission.

However, there are many related issues that need to be clarified at present.

Where did these Beast Race come from, or where are they from?

Since they appeared suddenly, these spirit beasts must not be allowed to enter the Trial Realm or this area used for trials at will.

Another question is, what is the strength of these Beast Race?

If they are too strong, then it's best to give up for now, and it might even be unwise to stay here any longer.

After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi decided to inform the ancestor of this information.

Firstly, it would allow them to better understand and prepare for this matter.

Secondly, it was to encourage them to pay close attention and see if they could find any relevant clues.

After all, there are too many disciples, students, elders, ancestors, and other senior members of the Five Symbols Sect in the secret realm now.

Safety is of utmost importance.

After Lu Changzhi finished considering these matters, he realized that Xiao Ye had already left.

Lu Changzhi slowly stood up, looked at the setting sun, and gently shook his head.

"It seems this trip to the secret realm isn't as simple as I initially imagined."

However, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

If the reason for the large-scale appearance of the Beast Race can be clarified, the trial mission may be able to be completed ahead of schedule.

Pulling his thoughts back, Lu Changzhi turned his attention to the area outside the city.

Compared to the matter of the Beast Race, the current situation in the Eighteen City will likely keep Gu Chen and his group busy for some time.

There are too many people; it's obviously unrealistic to cram them all into the Eighteen City.

It's almost nighttime now, and well, I'm incredibly busy.

Gu Chen, Qin Li, and the others were all busy dealing with the situation, and even Mu Fan was pulled in to help.

However, unlike the others, Luo Ling'er was still busy with the same thing; she was already working at the stove.

Of all things under heaven, eating is of utmost importance. How can one accomplish anything if one is not well-fed and full?

In the hidden realm, high above the jungle.

Dai Tianfeng gazed at the distant jungle, his brows furrowed.

All that effort wasted searching for the person who took away the Eighth Palace Sword Dao opportunity, and in the end, we couldn't even capture them.

This is not just a failure, it's a disgrace.

"Leave some people behind to continue the search; the rest of you, spread outwards to search."

Looking at the approaching person, Dai Tianfeng already knew from their expression that they had gained nothing, and immediately gave the order.

The visitor nodded, glanced at the sky, and said:

As dusk fell, too many people had gathered here, and a large number of spirit beasts and demonic beasts had arrived. They...

The tone was clearly one of seeking instructions, to which Dai Tianfeng responded:

"Don't waste time on these beasts. The most important thing now is to find the other side."

The visitor nodded, said nothing more about the matter, and got up to leave.

Dai Tianfeng closed his eyes slightly.

A short while later, a ray of light flew to Dai Tianfeng's side and was drawn into his hand by his spiritual power.

Soon, his eyes opened, and his brows twitched slightly.

"Nine-Story Tower, is someone stirring things up in the shadows again?"

The voice paused, Dai Tianfeng raised his arm, revealing his wrist.

Or perhaps, it really is true?

On his wrist, Nine-Story Tower emblem shimmered with light, illuminating seven stories as if they were within reach.

The next moment, Dai Tianfeng left the spot.

Although Zither Sound Valley was intentionally created by the Extreme Arms Holy Land, the Buddhist Order Wujie did indeed benefit from it.

But I...

The next Nine-Story Tower are a must-have!

Eighteen City, crowds thronged, a sea of people.

In the heart of the city, the sounds of clinking and banging filled the air, along with the aroma of food.

After countless busy hours, Luo Ling'er's cooking skills have now reached a level that can only be described as masterful.

The entire set of movements was incredibly smooth and fluid.

Just as he finished another dish and was about to plate it,

Luo Ling'er shivered for no reason.

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the house.

Lu Changzhi was waiting for dinner, but unexpectedly, what arrived before the food was a system notification.

"Host disciple Luo Ling'er's system has been upgraded; current level is three."
