In the blink of an eye, several days passed once again.
During this day, while Xu Lingjun was still cultivating, delving into the mysteries of the Profound Realm.
Within Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, an extrely sharp alarm suddenly sounded.
This alarm echoed throughout the six major regions of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, accompanied by the solemn voice of Liu Zhiyuan, which ca through the loudspeakers and appeared on all communication devices and visual instrunts, showing Liu Zhiyuan’s face.
He shouted, "All martial artists with a strength above the Profound Realm, whether you are students or teachers, be you family or relatives, please imdiately report to my office. Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is in crisis and urgently needs your assistance, hurry!"
By the last sentence, he was already shouting hoarsely.
Xu Lingjun imdiately halted the True Essence circulating within him without hesitation and stood up.
Although this was the first ti hearing this piercing alarm, in fact... every student of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, when they read the school regulations, saw the first rule: When the alarm rings long, everyone becos a soldier!
Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion was once a military fortress.
It still retains most shadows of military managent but has since beco much more lenient.
But when the alarm, symbolizing ancient beacon fires, sounds, it ans that Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion will revert to its forr state of a military base, with resisting enemies as the top priority, and everyone must comply with militarized managent.
Xu Lingjun dashed to the door, not having ti to call Li Jingjun across the hall.
She just broke through to the late stage of Hui Chuan a month ago and has yet to reach the Profound Realm, clearly not within Liu Zhiyuan’s recruitnt range.
Xu Lingjun sped towards the office.
Along the way...
He saw familiar faces of ntors or fellow students running in the sa direction with him.
Even many owners wearing aprons, flip-flops, and loose clothes were moving swiftly in the sa direction, so noticing Xu Lingjun and showing him flattering smiles.
There’s no help for it; Xu Lingjun now controls the dorm street. Now, even a pig knows opening a shop there ans making a lot of money, but unless Xu Lingjun nods, none of them can open a shop.
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but secretly exclaim inside, thinking that Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is truly worthy of being one of the Four Great Martial Mansions, with such deep foundations. The Profound Realm outside could already be called a local tyrant, but here, he had already seen dozens.
And considering those heading towards the office from other directions... altogether, it might number one or two hundred?
Inside the office.
Liu Zhiyuan had been waiting for a while, and indeed by this ti, around a hundred people had gathered.
"Pavilion Master, what’s happening?"
"I rushed over when I heard the alarm, is there an enemy invasion?"
"Who would have such audacity to target our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion... Could it be that the Polar Star Battlefield has fallen?"
"Even if it falls, no fear, damn it, if the mysterious races of the heavens dare to co, we’ll fight as many as they send; a bunch of bastard kids, it’s ti to teach them how to behave properly."
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, eager to fight vigorously.
Liu Zhiyuan quietly turned around, his face cold, saying, "It’s not an enemy invasion; it’s a demon beast uprising in the secret realm. A large number of demon beasts from the danger zone have appeared in Miwu Ghost Forest and Ice Snow Realm. The lowest among these demon beasts are at level 6, and there are even nurous level 7 demon beasts, and yes, level 8 demon beasts have also shown up."
At these words, everyone imdiately fell silent.
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but feel his heart sink, exclaiming, "Pavilion Master, you an those powerful demon beasts have entered the security zone? But..."
He suddenly thought of Jun Qing.
Jun Qing is still in the Miwu Ghost Forest... and Li Jingjun... she...
Xu Lingjun suddenly felt a bit of regret; why didn’t he confirm beforehand...
He doesn’t know if Li Jingjun is in the Ice Snow Realm.
He asked, "What’s actually happening?"
"I don’t know. Our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion’s secret realm has always been quite stable, with the safety and danger zones not interfering with each other. Although level 7 and 8 demon beasts occasionally enter the safe zone and wreak havoc, they are usually repelled by our patrol teams as soon as possible. But this ti..."
Liu Zhiyuan picked up the remote control and clicked on the projection screen in front.
The footage seed to show scenes captured in the secret realm by surveillance.
Countless smoke plus, scattered remains of battle machines still smoldering with thick black smoke, distant explosions of gunpowder.
Visible everywhere are the corpses of patrol teams...
Amidst the earth-shaking roars and vibrations, the caras could clearly see those massive demon beasts roaring furiously back and forth, fighting fiercely with the still-surviving patrol teams.
Thunderstorm Falcon Eagle, Ice Spirit Wolf, Berserk Lion...
All these demon beasts were exceedingly violent, roaring angrily again and again amidst battles. If not for the humans having fortified the entrances and exits of the security zone like impregnable iron barrels, assisted by nurous advanced weapons, the human resistance forces might have been depleted long ago.
For a mont, watching the live broadcast on the video, everyone’s face turned exceedingly grave.
These demon clans should never have appeared within the secret realm’s safe area, yet now, they showed up so suddenly in the Ice Snow Realm, even in Miwu Ghost Forest.
One must know...
The strongest previous inhabitants within the Miwu Ghost Forest were only level 5 or 6 demon beasts at most, and most of those undergoing trials in the secret realm were just martial artists at the True Transformation Realm. Even with the company of teaching assistants... but how many of those assistants have the strength of the Profound Realm?
Most of them are probably just at the Hui Chuan level.
"The patrol teams can’t hold out for much longer."
Liu Zhiyuan said, "I don’t know why these demon beasts suddenly beca frenzied, but we must quickly respond... We cannot let these demon beasts break out of the safety zone exits and into the human world, or else Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion will face major troubles. It’s known that confronting these demon beasts poses a significant risk of death even for you."
Xu Lingjun recalled the information Li Jingjun had shared with him earlier and asked, "Doesn’t Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion have asures for dealing with such demon beast uprisings?"
"Yes, we do."
Liu Zhiyuan said, "Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion was established here precisely to prevent these demon beasts from leaving the secret realm, so naturally, there are counterasures. Once the Terminator System is activated, not to ntion level 8 demon beasts, even level 9 demon beasts would have difficulty escaping alive within the safety zone. We, after all, are humans, unlike these beasts who are caught unprepared."
In the crowd, soone asked, "Then why not activate it?"
Xu Lingjun gave the person a surprised glance.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
Zuo Bufan... didn’t expect him to have also broken through to the Profound Realm.
And noticing Xu Lingjun’s gaze, Zuo Bufan’s face showed a slightly awkward smile.
He couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved... Previously his strength realm was far above Xu Lingjun, yet in just a few months, he had been caught up. Fortunately, he didn’t press the matter back then, otherwise, he might have really poked a hornet’s nest.
"The problem lies right here."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "The demon beast attack was completely unexpected, and once the Terminator System is activated, the entire safety zone would beco a deadly area... Based on our calculations, there are currently 479 students in the Miwu Ghost Forest and 214 students training in the Ice Snow Realm. If the Terminator System is activated, these students will be eliminated along with these demon beasts."
He shook his head, "Winter is coming, and the demon beasts also co out seeking food, making it the busiest ti in the secret realm. So the number of students entering the secret realm is particularly high. This number represents an entire year’s enrollnt for our Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, which is a loss we can’t afford."
Xu Lingjun asked, "So what do we do?"
"That’s the reason I called you here."
Liu Zhiyuan said decisively, "You have only three hours. That’s how much ti we have. We must bring back as many of the students trapped in the secret realm as possible, sooner rather than later. Whoever we bring back is a gain. After three hours, we will activate the Terminator System, and save what we can. Once it is activated, no living thing remaining within the secret realm will survive, be it human or beast!"
