"Sect Master, what has happened...?"
Seeing Su Yuewan's cold and aloof face as soon as she returned, Bai Hao, who had originally wanted to go up and welcome her, immediately deflated and didn't want to provoke her.
"We've been tricked." Su Yuewan's face was cold. Although she was willing to answer Bai Hao's question, her words still sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Scammed? Scammed by whom? There's no such thing as a Venerable One up there?" Bai Hao asked three questions in quick succession.
This time, Su Yuewan remained silent, turned and left, leaving behind a faint remark.
"Let's go back and talk about it first!"
Her decisive departure left Bai Hao even more confused.
However, when the leaders of the other sects returned, they also had cold expressions, said only a few words, and silently left with their respective disciples.
Even Gu Changsheng left with a gloomy expression, accompanied by Dan Zong's disciples.
This made Bai Hao even more curious. What exactly did the various sect leaders experience on that mountain? What did Su Yuewan mean by "being deceived"? What on earth caused these sect leaders to have such expressions?
Curiosity, it's really intriguing.
But in this situation, Bai Hao didn't dare to ask Su Yuewan what had happened. He was afraid that she would take out her anger on him, which would be disastrous.
...
The journey out was smooth; all the obstacles that should have been there were gone. It was probably because all the barriers had become ineffective after clearing the level. They quickly left the ruins and returned to the outskirts of the Northern Cold Mountain, where the wind and snow were swirling.
However, there are still some differences.
When they went in, hundreds or thousands of people poured in, but now less than a hundred people are coming out. This ratio is terrifying.
The densely packed tents at the entrance of the ruins are now just empty shells; their owners will never come out again, for the wind and snow will bury them.
Only the top-tier sects on the hills had people stationed there, so their tents were still quite warm, with campfires lit.
Bai Hao and his group, along with Ning Wan, all returned without any loss.
They went in full of passion, but came out with faces as cold as ice.
Of course, Bai Hao and the others didn't really feel anything, but they couldn't stand the cold and stern expressions of Su Yuewan and Ning Wan, which infected them as well.
"Then let's part ways here and go back on our own," Su Yuewan said to Ning Wan.
The latter had no objection, simply nodding and saying, "Okay."
With a unified opinion, action was swift.
Su Yuewan told Bai Hao and the others to start packing their things, and then she went back. Su Yuewan created a ball of true energy that could fly, and carried all ten people from the Luohai Sect away quickly.
It looks like they're going to fly straight back to the Falling Sea Sect.
Bai Hao and the others sat on the ball of true energy, keeping their mouths shut and not daring to speak.
It was simply because the aura emanating from Su Yuewan at that moment was... too cold.
Bai Hao had never seen Su Yuewan like this before. In the past, no matter how angry Su Yuewan was, she would just have a blank expression, but she would never exude such a cold aura, making him afraid to speak.
[This is really strange. What exactly happened on the mountain that made Su Yuewan so unusually angry?]
[There shouldn't have been a fight, right? They all came back unharmed. Su Yuewan said she was tricked. Did they go up there and wait for so long without ever seeing that so-called Venerable One? That shouldn't be the case.]
[It's understandable to fool one person, but the top leaders of the seven major forces have all been appointed; surely not everyone can be fooled?]
[Strange, really strange! And Su Yuewan's condition is truly frightening. It seems I'll have to cook her a few more bowls of scrambled eggs with tomatoes when we get back to calm her down.]
Bai Hao has already started thinking about how to appease Su Yuewan.
Otherwise, once she gets back, Su Yuewan will definitely need to vent her anger, and the most likely target of that venting will be him.
So he decided to come up with a solution sooner rather than later.
This is called being prepared for a rainy day!
Su Yuewan was originally in a really depressed mood, but after hearing Bai Hao's thoughts, she suddenly felt like laughing in annoyance.
Am I really that easy to fool in this girl's eyes? A few meals of scrambled eggs with tomatoes are enough to appease her?
Innocent!
However, knowing that Bai Hao genuinely cared about her and wasn't scolding her, Su Yuewan finally felt a little relieved, her expression softened, and she slowly began to speak.
"You probably still don't know what happened, so listen carefully." She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said.
"Just now, we went to that mountain and met the so-called Venerable One. The Venerable One claimed to be a person from the divine realm. He came here to spread the will of the gods on our Divine Radiance Continent and wanted our major forces to cooperate so that the will of the gods could be spread across the continent."
"People from the divine realm? Where did this divine realm come from? And why would gods need us to help them promote themselves?" Bai Hao asked, puzzled.
At this moment, he was the only one present who dared to ask a question.
And he truly didn't understand.
It's one thing for the venerable ones in the divine realm to understand, since there's always a higher-level world above every world; that's basically the unspoken rule.
What does it mean that the high and mighty gods would ask them to help with propaganda? Are there not enough believers in this divine realm?
Do gods, who are high and mighty, really need mortals like them to help them spread propaganda? Are you kidding me?
"I don't know." Su Yuewan shook her head.
"That person who calls himself 'White Dragon Venerable' is a member of the True Dragon Clan. Although his words are hard to believe, his cultivation level is beyond question; it is in no way inferior to mine, and may even be superior." Su Yuewan's expression gradually became solemn.
She has already reached the Supreme Realm. Even if she is not arrogant, ordinary people cannot enter her discourse. Even Feng Qingjue, who is also at the Supreme Realm, is looked down upon by her, let alone others.
Bai Hao believed that the White Dragon Venerable definitely had the strength to make Su Yuewan say such a thing.
"That White Dragon Venerable is a true dragon, which means he is not human, but a demon beast?" Bai Hao grasped the key point in Su Yuewan's words.
"Yes, to be precise, they should be called divine beasts. The true dragon race has already transcended the category of demonic beasts." Su Yuewan nodded solemnly.
Divine beasts are beings far superior to demonic beasts.
If the current situation of monsters is that they are suppressed by humans, then divine beasts are beings that are above humans.
There are indeed mythical beasts in legends, but no one has ever seen one in person.
And now, a true dragon and a divine beast have arrived on the Divine Radiance Continent!
