As for the Grand Elder...
He needs to calm down.
"Tell me, where is Wen Ru now?" The sect leader picked up Nian Wanzhou. He felt that this kid was sometimes quite eccentric and always did something unexpected.
Nan Yu followed behind, unwilling to stray too far.
"I don't know the exact location, but I can sense Senior Sister. I'll know when we get there. Sect Master, will you take me there?" Nian Wanzhou's eyes shone brightly as she looked at her sect master with anticipation.
The sect leader was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, I agree to take you with me. But you must promise that no matter what happens, you will not act on your own, understand?"
"Yes!" Nian Wanzhou nodded emphatically.
After the sect leader finished speaking, he wanted to send a message to his other sect leaders and friends, as their disciples were also on this training trip. He wanted to find out good news first before deciding on the next step.
But before he could even take out the jade pendant, he was told that it was vibrating.
It was a message sent by the sect leader of the Wuji Sect.
All that could be heard from the other end was an uncle's urgent voice: "Zhou Bai, something terrible has happened! Our disciples who went out for training have been inexplicably teleported to the Nanyang Secret Realm. Many of them are missing, and those who managed to escape are mostly seriously injured. It seems that your disciples are the ones who are trapped the most."
“I heard from disciples of other sects that the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Sect were targeted the most and suffered heavy casualties. Hurry up and send someone over; my men have arrived and are just outside the Nanyang Secret Realm.”
After the Wuji Sect Master finished speaking, the message was abruptly ended before the sect leader could say anything.
Sect Leader: ...Old friend, at least let me say something before hanging up!
However, after the sect leader of Wuji Sect reported the news, the sect leader finally completely trusted what Nian Wanzhou had said.
But Nian Wanzhou was just a baby, it would be too dangerous to take her along.
After some thought, he decided to gather everyone first: "Fifth Brother, go and gather the six Nascent Soul Dharma Protector Elders and the forty Golden Core disciples, and have them wait for me in the council hall."
Upon receiving the message, the Fifth Elder immediately took action. Although he did not explicitly inform her, the scale of the operation suggested that something significant had happened.
With a wave of his hand, the sect leader summoned Nian Wanzhou and Nan Yu into a massive hall.
Many people were sitting in the main hall, waiting for the sect leader to arrive.
The Fifth Elder, seated below the head of the table, hurriedly asked upon seeing the Sect Master, "Sect Master, has something happened?"
"It's Wen Ru. Something happened to the disciples who went out for training." The sect leader's expression was solemn as he explained the whole story to the disciples and elders.
Then he looked at the Fifth Elder and earnestly instructed him: "Fifth Elder, take them, along with Wanwan, to the Nanyang Secret Realm. Wanwan knows Wenru and the others' location. Remember, try not to delay; saving lives is the priority, understand?"
"Wanwan, is it really necessary to leave her behind? She's just a child; it would be dangerous for her to go, and she'd only be a burden." The Fifth Elder was somewhat worried and did not agree with taking Nian Wanzhou along.
After all, these are children, and they're not there to play.
The sect leader frowned and said seriously, "I didn't want to either, but only Wanwan could sense Wenru and the others' location, and she was the first to dream that Wenru was in trouble. Taking her there is to ensure everything goes smoothly, but we must protect her well."
"But...we still have to spare some attention to protect her, which is troublesome." Elder Wu hesitated before speaking.
The sect leader shook his head: "There is no other way to bring Wenru and the disciples back safely. The Nanyang Secret Realm is fraught with danger and is a forbidden area where one cannot return. The more insurance we have, the more opportunities we have. I will give Wanwan a life-saving magic artifact to ensure that nothing happens to her."
Nian Wanzhou spoke up at the opportune moment: "Fifth Elder, rest assured, I will not cause any trouble. However, I have an opportunity that can guarantee I find my senior sisters and the others. Taking me there will also reduce the time spent on detours and minimize the number of wounded!"
She drew the sensations brought by the invisible magical artifact on the table, saying, "This is Senior Sister's current location. It's very blurry. I can only sense the specific location once I get there."
The small map drawn does indeed show the distribution of the Nanyang Secret Realm, which proves that Nian Wanzhou did not cause any trouble.
Several Golden Core disciples were also looking at the mini-map very seriously. Although they were not very clear about it, the sect leader had spoken, so it must be true. They just needed to listen to the sect leader.
"Fifth Brother, I cannot leave the sect now, so you will have to take people there. Sect Master Jingkun of the Wuji Sect is already there, and you can meet him when the time comes."
"Sect Master, rest assured, I will certainly live up to your mission." The Fifth Elder nodded solemnly, then scooped up Nian Wanzhou and left with an imposing air.
"Alright, go ahead." The sect leader waved his hand, and the rest of the group followed the Fifth Elder out.
The Fifth Elder looked at Nian Wanzhou and quietly asked, "Wanwan, can you really sense your senior sisters and the others?"
"Yes, this was originally a secret, but since my senior sister is in trouble, I dare not keep it a secret any longer. I must go and save her!" Nian Wanzhou said with a serious expression, looking very sincere.
"Oh dear, then tell me quickly, what exactly happened to your senior sisters?" The Fifth Elder slapped his forehead.
"It was a beast tide, and a beast tide that went berserk in the Nanyang Secret Realm. Even my senior sister was injured." Nian Wanzhou said with heartache on her face, as if she had experienced it herself.
Fifth Elder: "It's actually a surge of spirit beasts... The Nanyang Secret Realm is already difficult enough, sigh, this is troublesome."
A group of people were fully prepared to set off, especially Nian Wanzhou, who had brought quite a few magical treasures, all meant to protect her from the elders. Whether they could safely enter the Nanyang Secret Realm this time depended on this little girl, so naturally she had to be protected well.
If the elders were to enter, they might be fine, but it wouldn't be so easy for the disciples who brought helpers.
We can't leave them out; relying solely on a few elders to rescue people is definitely not enough.
Half a day later, the Fifth Elder used his magic weapon to lead his disciples to the place where Wen Ru and the others had been attacked. Many people from other sects were already there rescuing people or anxiously waiting for their own disciples to escape.
Those who emerged were all in terrible condition, covered in wounds.
The disciples were all at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and many were even at their peak, yet they were still covered in bloodstains, showing how bad their condition was.
The Fifth Elder couldn't help but worry about Wei Wenru and the others. The sect leader had told her that Wenru and the disciples were in even worse condition, almost at the deepest part of the secret realm.
Otherwise, the sect leader wouldn't have let her bring a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators over.
Once you step into this secret realm, the slightest mistake could lead to a near-death experience.
She looked at Nian Wanzhou and saw the determination in her eyes. "Fifth Elder, I'm not afraid. Let's go in. Just head that way. It's safe there. We can go in there to find Senior Sister."
Nian Wanzhou pointed out a direction, the opposite of the direction the people who came out were heading. The group had no other choice but to follow Nian Wanzhou's instructions to proceed to the next step.
