Ling glanced at Chen Xin, who nodded firmly at him, then got up and left the room.
"You can go directly up to the attic on the right."
Ling spoke up, fearing that Chen Xin would just leave like that.
Chen Xin didn't turn around, but simply gestured backward to indicate that Ling didn't need to worry, and then went straight ahead.
As Zero said, there really was a pavilion suspended in mid-air on the relatively open right side, which was probably some kind of observation tower...
As Chen Xin pondered this, she walked up.
The view from above is very expansive, with an unobstructed view of the scene before you.
Thinking of what Ye Hao had said earlier, Chen Xin looked towards the outside of the wall—
The newcomers all wore white silk scarves on their heads and dark brocade robes. They had resolute faces and carried objects resembling whisks in their hands. There were about fifty or sixty of them, and they seemed to have come prepared...
These people... seem to be from the Three Sects side.
Chen Xin understood the general idea at a glance.
I guess they all came down to the mortal realm to search for the "dragon vein" after the last secret realm collapsed...
However, Zero was unaware of these matters. Just as Chen Xin was about to speak, those people from the other side arrived, and Ye Hao, who came to report the news, interrupted the original narration.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xin decided to go back and explain the situation to Ling first.
...
inside the house.
Ye Hao looked at Zero with some worry and said:
“Zero, I suspect those people outside are in cahoots with that Chen Xin guy… Although their clothes are quite different, it’s clear they’re connected to the Upper Realm. I don’t know anything about the Upper Realm, but I think they have ulterior motives for coming here. You’ll have to ask them about it later…”
Zero interrupted Ye Hao:
“I understand your concerns, but you also know the current situation. In the human realm, we basically have no ability to fight those people; we can only cooperate. And…”
Zero changed his tone, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and continued:
"I believe this collaboration has only benefits and no drawbacks."
In fact, Zero had thought a lot about cooperating. Firstly, they didn't know the other party's purpose, which put them in a passive position. Secondly, because of Li Su's existence, their strength alone was far from enough. The human base was full of ordinary people who were simply unable to fight against those modified individuals.
Cooperation adds an element of uncertainty, turning a passive situation into an active one.
Even though it might be a losing proposition, he was willing to take the gamble...
Ye Hao didn't speak again. He had only voiced his suspicions, and he would follow Zero's advice on what to do.
The two stopped talking until Chenxin returned.
...
"I'm back."
Chen Xin pushed open the half-closed door and said with a somewhat unreadable expression:
"The people outside are indeed from the upper realm,"
He looked at Zero and continued:
"Do you remember what I just said about the three major sects and the secret realm?"
Zero nodded. Could it be...?
"Was their purpose in descending to the lower realm also because of the secret realm?"
Although Chen Xin hadn't finished speaking, Ling's intelligence and wit allowed her to deduce some of the details.
Chen Xin nodded and said:
“That’s right, I didn’t have time to say what I was saying before, but given the current situation, I can only make a long story short… Outside are disciples of the Daoguang Sect. I can’t see exactly who they are, but they are all carrying their sect’s magical artifacts, and there are more than fifty of them. I’m afraid they’re not here with good intentions…”
"And their purpose in coming here should be only one thing, which is to investigate the dragon vein."
"Dragon vein, what is that?"
Zero had never heard of a dragon vein here, and Ye Hao was also completely baffled.
These fantastical and bizarre things...aren't they all just legends?
Chen Xin sighed and said:
"So many things happened in that secret realm back then, I..."
Just as Chen Xin was about to say something, a sudden burst of light shone outside, and dazzling golden light pierced straight into the room.
"This is bad! The Daoguang Sect has issued a warning. If we don't send people out soon, they're going to break in!"
Ling's eyes turned cold, her expression shifting unpredictably.
"Let's go out and take a look."
