With Zhulong becoming the principal of the eerie high school, everyone's days thereafter were like a vacation, comfortable and peaceful.
The rules and restrictions in the wooden house are minimal for the highest authority, who can even alter them to some extent. Therefore, even if Kunpeng and the others inadvertently violate the rules, Zhulong can promptly bring them back.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Zhen and the others had spent ten days in the eerie high school, and it was time for them to leave.
"Remember, you must enter the wooden house tomorrow, or it may be too late!" Before leaving, Zhulong reminded everyone again.
This was the meeting time he had agreed upon with Ruby. He would then work with Kunpeng to eliminate Ruby in the eerie high school. If Ye Zhen and the others did not enter the main world by then, they would be unable to participate in the struggle for Ruby's authority.
"Don't worry, the floating island matter is being watched by countless lords, nothing will go wrong!" Ye Zhen nodded in response, and at the same time, Lynn and Bella also came over.
“These past few days, Lynn and I have set up a large-scale trapping array at the school. Once activated, even a peak seventh-tier cultivator can be trapped for a short while,” Bella said.
Both she and Lynn majored in magic. Given enough time, they could set up a powerful enough magic array to pose a threat to a seventh-tier expert.
Unfortunately, magic circles are static and can only be fixed in one place. They also require a lot of time to set up, so they are rarely used in normal combat. However, the many days spent in the eerie high school have given them enough time to deploy them.
"Okay, I understand, thank you for your kindness!" Zhulong nodded.
"Unfortunately, our strength is insufficient, and we can only set up such a trapping formation. If it were an offensive formation, its effectiveness would probably be limited!" Lynn said with a hint of regret.
"This is already very good. As long as he has no way to escape, killing him shouldn't be too difficult!"
"That's good!"
"Be careful in everything you do. If anything goes wrong, protect yourself first. We can find another opportunity later!" Ye Zhen reminded him again before he left.
At this moment, Ye Chen, who was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, was also paying close attention to everything on the floating island. When Ye Zhen and the others finally came out of the wooden house, he received the news immediately.
"Splitting forces? Hoping Ye Jun and you will go to provide support?" Ye Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing Ye Xi's message.
He originally thought that relying on Zhulong would be enough, but he didn't expect that even a floating island that wasn't known for its combat strength would have such powerful forces.
He didn't see Zhulong and Kunpeng among the crowd that came out, so he knew that there must have been some kind of change. He didn't expect that in the end, he would still need to use a large number of high-level relatives.
"Yes, time is of the essence, and Ye Zhen didn't have time to share much information. He only said that they had found a way to take over the floating island, but they needed strong support because there were more than a dozen high-level dark creatures in the largest wooden house. Moreover, their strength would be greatly amplified inside, just like our Investiture of the Gods!" Ye Xi explained.
"Hmm...then inform Ye Jun and go there with him as soon as possible! Also, call Ye Chang and Taishan along, and be careful in everything!" Ye Chen instructed with concern. Unlike others, the floating island has intertwined rules, and anyone who goes in is in danger of perishing.
"Yes, ma'am!" Ye Xi nodded, grabbed Taishan and Ye Jun, and flew towards the floating island.
The two sides quickly reunited and exchanged some personnel. Lynn led some sixth-tier peak members of his clan back to the Primordial Star, while Ye Zhen, Bai Ze, and Xuan Du continued to lead Ye Xi and others into the main world.
Along the way, the three had already informed Ye Xi and the others about the strange high school and the events in the main world. They learned that they needed to cooperate with Zhulong to seize the authority of the lord of the main world. Knowing the urgency of time, they went straight inside after confirming the location of the wooden house.
"Boom~~~" The wooden door was pushed open, and everyone filed in. Immediately afterward, a dizzying sensation followed. When their vision returned, they found themselves standing on a long street, with endless mist behind them and a black stone-paved road in front of them.
"Remember to step with your left foot first!" Ye Zhen reminded him, stepping out with her left foot and onto the eerie street.
Step in with your left foot first. This is a rule set by some mysterious lord, and anyone who walks in without knowing this has a 50% chance of being caught in the rule and having their leg cut off.
But now this rule is meaningless to Ye Zhen and the others. Countless strange creatures in the street looked regretful when they saw the group walk in safely, and people could even hear sighs of disappointment.
"Hmph!" Ye Jun sneered, looking at the buildings on both sides with disdain.
"The conditions for leaving have been set: survive in Shadow Street for a month, or become a leader!" Bai Ze, who had been keeping a close eye on everything around him, reminded him.
She, Ye Zhen, and Xuan Du were not strong in combat and could not play a significant role in battles in the main realm. Therefore, their main function was to provide Ye Xi and the others with the most accurate intelligence and analytical results through mental analysis.
"This condition is both easy and difficult, depending on whether you can survive a month in the hands of a commander!" Xuan Du said thoughtfully, tapping his palm.
It's easy if there are no other conditions; simply surviving for a month is not difficult at all for a superhuman.
But this place is ruled by strange leaders. If you want to live here, all your food, clothing, shelter and transportation are inseparable from the leaders' businesses, and they have absolute power of life and death over their subordinates.
In other words, if you don't anger the leader or his right-hand man, you can live here peacefully for countless years. But if you offend someone you shouldn't, you'll be torn to pieces.
As outsiders, Ye Zhen and the others are still living beings with flesh and blood. Their surging life force is enough to make all the leaders covet them. It is almost impossible for them to live peacefully in Shadow Street for a month. Even if they abide by the rules and do not cause trouble, these strange creatures will not let them go.
Who would let a piece of fat meat delivered right to their mouth slip away?
“According to the information we obtained at the Strange High School, the main business that Commander Ruby operates in Shadow Street is the bathhouse, which is what we call a public bathhouse!” Xuan Du said, looking at the two rows of buildings. The commander’s business could not possibly be limited to just one place, but there must be one main business. The revenue brought by this bathhouse is enough to exceed the total of all Ruby’s other businesses.
