After traveling for five days straight, they finally arrived near the central area, unaware that the situation outside the secret realm was already dire.

Not only are the high-ranking members of each sect closely monitoring the secret realm, but they have also dispatched their respective array masters to the secret realm to help.

The story begins last night, when the life tablets of the disciples held by the peak masters and elders of the Beast Taming Sect, Pill Sect, and Misty Sect all shattered.

A broken life tablet signifies death. Trials in secret realms are inherently risky, and dying in one is perfectly normal.

As a master, besides feeling regret and sadness, all I can do is use the life tablet's feedback function to check if my disciple has been harmed.

As a result, all the feedback messages were blank, and the other life tokens gradually turned red, indicating that the other disciples in the secret realm were also in danger.

Therefore, several elders from the Pill Sect and the Beast Taming Sect reported the matter to their sect leader. Only then did the other elders realize that something was amiss.

They hurriedly contacted the elders guarding the secret realm. Coincidentally, the peak masters and elders of the eight sects were all gathered together. After learning about this, they all sent messages back to their sects to inquire about the situation of their own sects.

The shocking discovery was that, although the extent of the damage varied, all sects had shattered life tablets, and most of the remaining life tablets had also turned reddish.

Although these disciples are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, most of them are personally taught and are the future hope of their respective sects, so the sect leaders have to pay attention to them.

Therefore, the sect leaders of the eight major sects immediately convened an emergency meeting. The initial resolution of the meeting was for the stationed peak masters and elders to...

Use the key to close the secret realm in advance. Once the secret realm is closed, those who are being tested inside will naturally be forcibly kicked out.

However, to their shock, when Wu Qi and his companions used the key to try and shut down the secret realm, they discovered that their key had lost its connection to the realm.

Upon receiving the news, the various sects held an emergency meeting and decided to send their strongest formation masters to the secret realm overnight to try to regain control of it.

Early this morning, news of the incident in the secret realm spread rapidly among the various sects. Lu Chuan'an, who was constantly monitoring news from the secret realm, naturally also heard the rumors.

He had just stepped out to find Yun Xingnan when he saw Ji Zeyang and Gu Moxu coming over with Yun Xingnan. It seemed he wasn't the only one paying attention to news from the secret realm.

The four returned to Lu Chuan'an's courtyard. Knowing everyone was anxious, Yun Xingnan didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:

"After I received the message, I asked my master. My master said that my junior sister's life tablet was unharmed, which means that my junior sister is safe now."

Hearing this, the three of them breathed a slight sigh of relief, but soon, Lu Chuan'an frowned and said worriedly:

"But the problem now is that it seems the entire secret realm is acting strangely. Junior Sister is fine now, but..."

Lu Chuan'an's words caused Yun Xingnan and the other two to frown. For the first time, Ji Zeyang looked at Gu Moxu with a hint of expectation.

"Fourth brother, can't you sense your junior sister through your ear bones and communicate with her? Why don't you contact your junior sister?"

"Check her current situation, see if she can be teleported back? Or you could teleport us all in, that would be fine too."

Gu Moxu, unusually, didn't retort, but sighed and said:

"I checked the teleportation array inside my ear bone the day my junior sister entered the secret realm. It was gray, so it must have been blocked by the secret realm."

Fortunately, I could sense my junior sister, but when I heard the news this morning, I couldn't sense her anymore.

Yun Xingnan's expression was solemn:

"It seems that something has happened within the secret realm, severing all contact with the outside world."

Lu Chuan'an became increasingly anxious:

"What about contact? Can you get in touch with your junior sister?"

Seeing the hopeful looks on the three of them, Gu Moxu quickly said:

"I haven't tried this yet. I wanted to try it this morning, but I was worried that contacting her rashly might bring some danger to my junior sister."

"this........"

Lu Chuan'an and the other two hesitated, while Ji Zeyang was conflicted:

"Indeed, with so many people dying all at once, there are two most likely possibilities: massacre or sacrifice. But either way, it's extremely dangerous."

The fact that Junior Sister's life token is intact means she hasn't been discovered yet, or has successfully escaped. If we rashly contact her and the perpetrators notice, it would only cause more trouble.

The four fell silent. After a long while, Gu Moxu looked at Yun Xingnan and suggested:

"Senior Brother, why don't we go find Master? Master is so powerful, he must have a way."

Yun Xingnan shook his head:

"Master's love for Junior Sister is no less than ours. I believe that if Junior Sister were truly in danger, Master would certainly not stand idly by."

I heard that all the sects have sent their strongest formation masters to the secret realm. Judging by the time, they should all have arrived by now.

Let's wait and see if they can regain control of the secret realm. If not, we'll go find our master again.

Although they were all anxious, they also knew that Yun Xingnan was right. Lu Chuan'an sighed, stood up, and said:

"Then let's do as Senior Brother says. I'll go to the Sect Master's place and wait for news. I'll contact you as soon as I get any updates."

After Lu Chuan'an left, Yun Xingnan and the other two didn't return to their respective courtyards. Instead, they all tacitly came to the main hall to wait for news from Lu Chuan'an.

At the same time, in the Xuanming Sect's dining hall, Liu Yinyin, who was standing in line at the window serving food to the disciples of the peak, was listening intently to the discussions about the secret realm.

"Have you heard? Something's happened in the Azure Wind Secret Realm!"

"What secret realm has encountered trouble?"

"The Azure Wind Secret Realm, the one that Foundation Establishment disciples participated in just over half a month ago."

"Oh, that? Goodness, those who participated in the secret realm are all top disciples and inner sect members. What happened? Tell me quickly!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. This isn't a good thing. The sect's peak masters and elders are already worried sick. You're still shouting like that. Aren't you afraid of getting scolded?"

"Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just too shocked."

"Alright, stop interrupting and tell me what happened."

"Actually, I don't know the specifics very well. I've only vaguely heard that many of the disciples who went in had their life tablets broken, and those that weren't broken seem to be in danger as well."

"hiss........"

"Oh my god! The life tablet is broken, which means..."

Shh, keep your voice down.

Seeing the growing number of focused gazes, the disciple spreading the news quickly glared at the disciple who had unconsciously shouted in surprise.

The disciple, who had spoken loudly, quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, saying:

"This...is it true? This is no small matter."
