The group quickly arrived at the location of the headquarters.

Looking at the towering building of the General Administration, Yan Bing's expression was somewhat complicated.

Lu Ning glanced at it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Bing shook his head: "The General Administration is different now than before."

Bai Yuan calmly said, "After Base City No. 3 was swallowed by the mist, humanity went through several major upheavals, and the headquarters was destroyed several times. Each time, it was rebuilt after the upheaval."

Yan Bing nodded: "Yes, before Base City No. 3 was swallowed up, the headquarters was also destroyed."

Bai Yuan nodded, then said, "Let's go in."

The group quickly found their way to the fourth basement level and arrived at Xuanxu's room.

Bai Yuan knocked on the door, and Xuan Xu's voice rang out: "Come in."

The room door opened with a click.

Bai Yuan and her group entered the room.

In the room filled with mirrors, Xuanxu was still sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing Bai Yuan, Xuan Xu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Bai Yuan, you're back? How's the situation in the Mist No. 3?"

He had just finished asking the question when he seemed to realize something and turned to look at Yan Bing.

Xuanxu raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes, which were like glass prisms.

Who is this?

"She is Yan Bing."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's introduction, Xuan Xu raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of astonishment.

"You're Yan Bing?"

Yan Bing nodded: "Mm."

Xuanxu frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you say you couldn't come when Ya'en and the others invited you to headquarters?"

Yan Bing glanced at Xuanxu and said, "The situation is not good right now; the barrier has developed multiple cracks."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu frowned: "A barrier?"

Bai Yuan had heard Lu Ning and his group explain it on the way, and now she spoke up: "It's the protective shield that Li Yang mentioned before."

Xuanxu's expression changed slightly: "The protective shield has cracked?"

He then pondered, "No wonder the fog seems to be spreading faster and faster lately, and the cult's activities have become more active... Could it all be related to the Rift?"

Yan Bing nodded: "If things were to develop normally, the barrier shouldn't have collapsed yet. The main reason for the cracks is the activities of cults."

Bai Yuan and Xuan Xu both frowned.

Bai Yuan said thoughtfully, "Opening up rifts can help the evil god descend?"

As demigods, they knew a lot about things, and upon hearing Yan Bing's words, they immediately thought of many things.

Yan Bing nodded: "Yes, the reason why some powerful beings in the mist go to great lengths to influence the Awakened is that they hope the Awakened can open up a rift and accelerate the dissipation of the barrier. Even if the barrier does not dissipate, they can still use the rift to send down some of their power."

Xuanxu took a deep breath and slowly said, "So, in the current situation, has the power of an evil god already infiltrated?"

Yan Bing shook his head: "It's not certain yet."

After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "However, it's quite possible. After all, this is the first time I've ever seen so many cracks appear at once."

Bai Yuan immediately asked, "Where are those cracks located?"

A radar-like disc appeared in Yan Bing's hand.

There are five red dots on the radar.

These dots vary in size and radiate red ripples.

In the center of the radar, there is a golden dot.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the radar-like thing with some curiosity, Yan Bing explained, "I exchanged this in the Tower of Ruins. It can see the location of the crack in the Earth's barrier. It cost two million Pale Crystals."

Those of Arn and the others who had a concept of pale crystal gasped in shock.

"so much?"

Yan Bing nodded: "Mm."

Bai Yuan and Xuan Xu exchanged a glance, then Bai Yuan asked, "So there are a total of five cracked areas?"

Yan Bing nodded, looking at the radar screen with a serious expression, and said, "These cracks are quite large. If they are not closed as soon as possible, they will greatly affect the stability of the barrier."

Xuanxu stood up, stretched, and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go shut it down!"

Bai Yuan shook her head and then said, "I'll notify the other guardians first. Since the situation is so serious, they need to know as well."

Xuanxu nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find Old Li and see what he has to say."

Bai Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Go and see, he might not be finished yet."

Xuanxu let out a breath, said nothing more, and then nodded.

Then Xuanxu looked at Yan Bing and the others and said with a smile, "Why don't you wait here for a bit?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

Bai Yuan opened a spatial passage and stepped inside.

The spatial passage closed after Bai Yuan entered.

Xuanxu summoned a mirror, and with a flick of his finger, the mirror magnified instantly.

Then Xuanxu stepped into the mirror.

After Xuanxu and Baiyuan left, the group exchanged silent glances.

Lu Ning silently walked to the sofa and sat down: "Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Yan Bing nodded and silently sat down next to Lu Ning.

The three of them, Yann and his companions, exchanged glances, feeling a little embarrassed to sit down, after all, this was the guardian's home.

However, they were quite exhausted after making their way out of the fog.

After some hesitation, the three of them finally sat down.

…………

Just half an hour later, a white light flashed across a lens.

Then the lens magnified to life height, and Xuanxu stepped out of the mirror.

The three of them, Yann, quickly stood up.
