Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

The entrance to the Twisted Treeline.

At this moment, dozens of heavily armed soldiers guarded the entrance, their faces grim.

Meanwhile, a large crowd had already gathered around, all of them adventure teams that had come from all over to enter the secret realm to compete for the Wood Spirit Fruit, but were blocked here.

"No, why can't we come in?!"

"Your mother's kiss! I traveled all the way from the Northeast, and now you're telling me I can't get in!?"

"What the hell do you have the right to seal off the secret realm!?"

"Protest! Protest! Protest!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and started making a fuss.

However, the soldiers remained expressionless as they guarded the entrance, ignoring the protests of the crowd.

As the crowd's protests grew louder and louder, threatening to riot, a middle-aged man in military uniform with a dignified expression stepped forward.

He is Wang Tiejun, the person in charge of the Twisted Treeline secret realm.

He stepped forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present, and with an indifferent expression, began to explain:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are currently unusual phenomena occurring within the Twisted Treeline. To ensure your safety, the secret realm has been sealed off and will be reopened once the investigation is completed. We ask for your understanding."

These words immediately aroused even greater indignation among the crowd.

"What utter bullshit! Why seal it off now, when the Wood Spirit Fruit is almost ripe? I bet you're just trying to hoard it all!"

"Yes! That's right! I saw the Ninth Prince leading a large group of people in this morning, and the Ninth Prince happens to be a Wood-type talent awakener. Even a fool would know what's going on!"

"Hmph! Even if he is a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, no law allows him to do this. He is now showing contempt for the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, and I am going to report him!"

"I want to report him too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

Seeing the crowd cursing and even speaking rudely to the Ninth Prince, Wang Tiejun's expression suddenly turned cold, and he coldly rebuked them:

"Anyone who speaks disrespectfully to the Ninth Prince again will be arrested on the spot and brought to trial in court!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, which had been indignant, instantly fell silent, as if doused with cold water.

They didn't know whether the prince would be arrested for breaking the law.

But if they break the law, they'll definitely face the consequences.

Everyone clenched their fists in anger, but in the end they sighed helplessly.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the royal family was like celestial beings.

Ordinary people like them are simply powerless to resist them.

Seeing that the scene had finally quieted down, Wang Tiejun's stern expression softened slightly. He instructed his men to continue maintaining order before preparing to leave.

However, at that moment, a slightly jarring sound suddenly rang out.

"Family members, there are many store exploration coins available, but I'll tell you whether they're real or fake. Today, I'll take you to experience what the secret realm [Twisted Treeline] is like."

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man walking over with a selfie stick in hand, a sunny smile on his face. It looked like he was doing a live stream.

The young man strode arrogantly to the entrance of the secret realm, looked at the soldiers guarding the entrance, and said:

"Hello, I'm ready to enter the secret realm."

The soldier spoke expressionlessly:

"The secret realm is currently sealed off and entry is prohibited."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's face immediately showed a look of surprise:

"Huh? It's been blocked? When did this happen?"

"I saw the Ninth Prince leading a large group of people inside this morning."

"Oh, I remember now, there's a rare and precious herb in this secret realm called the Wood Spirit Fruit that's about to ripen, and the Ninth Prince happens to be a Wood-type talent awakener... Could it be..."

Qin Yu didn't continue speaking, but the viewers in the live stream instantly understood what he meant, and the screen was immediately filled with scrolling comments.
