"The Secret Realm is about to collapse, let's get out first."
Although Liang Yi was quite interested, now was not the place to talk.
This small-sized Secret Realm, after being constantly wrecked by several of them, was already overwhelmed and on the brink of collapse.
The Array set up by Wan Tinggui was also about to dissipate almost entirely, and if they stayed here any longer, it would become troublesome.
Wan Tinggui thought briefly and agreed to Liang Yi's suggestion.
Old Man Orange held his dried fish, and his size shrunk back to a normal orange cat, floating beside Liang Yi.
This time he was really exhausted; after all, he preferred gaining strength by eating and drinking; constantly fighting wasn't Old Man Orange's style. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs nοvelfire.net
Mi Sheng and Mi Le took one last look at the desolate land covered with yellow sand before following Liang Yi with lowered heads.
When they traced their way back to the fissure, the crack leading to the Secret Realm was also completely sealed under the self-repair of the Mystical Mechanism world.
After all, it was just a temporary, forcibly created small Secret Realm without a series of Arrays to fix the main body and entrance, and so the Mystical Mechanism world would slowly repair these traces it saw as "wounds."
Just three days after entering the fissure, the battlefield outside still remained in a brief moment of peace, players were happily scavenging, occasionally clashing with the native Abyss forces, resulting in very small-scale conflicts.
Glancing over the map given by Jiang Fufeng, Liang Yi discovered that at least half of the Xuanzhou cultivators from the Immortal Dynasty who fought with Abyss Cultivators in the Secret Realm had received support, the rescue runes on the Secret Realm had also changed.
But the other half of the runes had already become extremely dim, not knowing if they had fallen before support could arrive, or if, like them, they had encountered an ambush by the Abyss Cultivators.
"Can you come with us to the camp?"
Liang Yi found Wan Tinggui leisurely following them and suddenly remembered to ask this question, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course, no problem."
Wan Tinggui in a bamboo green long dress seemed to be pondering something, and upon hearing Liang Yi's question, realizing everyone was looking at her, she smiled and replied.
"That's quite convenient."
Liang Yi blinked and did not inquire how exactly Wan Tinggui managed that. This might be the secret for Wan Tinggui to deceive the Abyss, and it wasn't good to ask rashly.
"It's fortunate that you led some people away from the Devouring Spirit Sect..."
Liang Yi cheerfully said.
If Wan Tinggui were still with the Devouring Spirit Sect, even if she had any disguise, the name seen by players would still be red.
In the players' eyes, red-named monsters generally fell into three categories; the first kind was normal red-named monsters who would attack players even if just approached.
The second type was people from the Devouring Spirit Sect, already familiar to players, but players found that after the version update, monsters from the Devouring Spirit Sect had almost disappeared, a bit regretful since they wanted to go back and farm them once they reached higher levels.
The third kind was the newly appeared Abyss Cultivators appearing only on the battlefield where everyone looked densely packed with red-named monsters.
But now that Wan Tinggui had led people away from the Devouring Spirit Sect, they had no more connection with it, and for the players, they were just neutral monsters, naturally not within the range detected by players.
Although Wan Tinggui found Liang Yi's words a bit odd, she didn't overthink it.
"Having left the Devouring Spirit Sect, are you still trying to find an opportunity to eliminate them?"
Su Youyi was somewhat perplexed by Wan Tinggui and others' actions, and proactively inquired.
"Yes, almost, we'll talk in detail with you later."
Wan Tinggui's answer was vague; although she trusted Liang Yi and Su Youyi relatively more, she did not trust others and naturally wouldn't reveal everything in such a public place.
"By the way, can I meet your master?"
Wan Tinggui seemed to suddenly remember something, turning to Liang Yi and Su Youyi with a request.
Liang Yi and Su Youyi were both briefly startled, unsure of what the Saintess was planning.
"Yes, I have something I need help with from Banished Immortal."
Wan Tinggui nodded but didn't specify what it was.
"Well... it's not impossible, but let me send a message to my master after handling other matters and see what he thinks."
Liang Yi didn't think Wan Tinggui had the capability to harm his master, but it was still better to ask his master's opinion first.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Wan Tinggui gratefully smiled at Liang Yi; this matter was also very important to her, and she had to consult with Banished Immortal.
Liang Yi waved his hand; it was just a small favor anyway, whether to meet or not wasn't his decision to make.
Even though Mi Sheng and Mi Le were still somewhat weak, taking care of them did not delay much, and within less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, they reached a temporary camp resembling a small-sized city not far ahead.
After entrusting the two Zen Cultivators to the people of Zen, and politely declining their generous invite, Liang Yi led his junior and Yue Bai to a quaint, simple, clean residence prepared by Jiang Fufeng.
