leaving him completely powerless to resist. Thankfully, at the last second, he regained control of himself.Although he was lucky to be alive, his injuries were extremely severe."Ha…" Uncle Dong stagg...Nowadays, it's rather difficult to find the location of a secret realm.

Although the World of No Dualities was in ruins, it was still vast. Without a proper method, searching for secret realms was akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. Inside the stone chamber, Lu Ye pondered silently, while Ying Wuji was filled with melancholy.

Xu Wang gave Zui Shan a discreet wink from the side. Zui Shan only shook his head imperceptibly.

Before that, he went to find Zui Shan and told him everything he knew about Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, especially about Lu Ye's attainments in the art of formations.

>>

Such a person, if able to be recruited into our stronghold, would undoubtedly greatly enhance the stronghold's security in the future. Therefore, he suggested that Zui Shan try his best to recruit these two individuals and see if they would be willing to stay.

When Zui Shan learned that Lü Ye and Ying Wujī's goal was the secret realm, he gave up his own thoughts.

They aspire to the heavens, wanting to join the secret realm; it's understandable. Why would they even look down upon this small outpost Even if I asked, it wouldn't be granted. Better not to embarrass myself.

"Is there a map of this world" Lu Ye suddenly asked again.

"Over the past millennia, this realm has fallen into disrepair. Many sects have lost their lineages and perished. Most of the remaining human race live in hiding, barely scraping by. Many are born and die without ever leaving their shelters. Even cultivators like us have our movements restricted. Little brother, if you want a map of the terrain within a radius of ten thousand miles around here, I can provide one. But as for a comprehensive map of this realm, it's probably only found within the secret realms."

This is really wanting everything and nothing.

Let me know if you'd like to translate more!

Lü Yè nodded slightly, a guess forming in her heart, but she wasn't disappointed.

"In that case, the two of you should rest first. If there's anything you need, feel free to come find me."

Since I can't persuade these two, and there's no need to investigate their backgrounds further, Suishan loses any desire to linger.

In his view, these two were probably just passing through. He had saved Yuan Xiang's life, so he should treat them well at the stronghold. Who knows when they might leave

As Zui Shan rose to his feet, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above, causing even the stone chamber to tremble slightly. It sounded like someone was fighting on the surface.

His face turned pale, and Xu Wang also exclaimed in surprise: "Oh no, the formation has been activated!"

Under normal circumstances, the large formation he sets up outside wouldn't activate, even if it were in an excited state like before, it wouldn't be easily activated.

In such a world, setting up an array is difficult. Unless it's absolutely necessary, the array serves only as a deterrent. And once activated, it will inevitably cause a great commotion, exposing the location of the stronghold. But now that the large formation has been activated, it means that those guarding the formation have encountered something extremely dire. The two almost simultaneously focused their gaze on Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, their expressions a mixture of shock and anger.

From their perspective, the outpost had been peaceful for over a decade. These two people just arrived, and then an attack happened right after. Naturally, it makes people suspicious, wondering if they are spies for some force, who brought enemies here.

"Ying Wuji sensed something was amiss and quickly exclaimed, "This has nothing to do with us!"

Zui Shan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I was out of line. Please forgive me."

Regardless of whether the incident is related to these two people, there should be no conflict within the stronghold. There are many ordinary people living here, and once they fight, those mortals will not be able to withstand the aftermath of the cultivators' battle.

The commotion outside startled everyone inside the base.

It can be seen that in times of chaos, these people have summarized some survival methods. At the very least, they learn not to panic when facing any situation.

A group of cultivators behind Drunk Mountain suddenly became frightened as well.

The Pure Land is not a sect. Nowadays, besides the three great secret realms which still have complete transmissions of various sects, there are no more sects among humans. They basically exist in the form of large and small strongholds.nside.In the Nine States, there are many cultivators who like to wear masks and walk around, especially those secretive ghost cultivators. So, a single mask cannot tell us much on its own.Appearance c...
