Chapter 96 – Everyone, prepare quickly!

Jiang Hao stared at Ye Sheng, speechless.

In his heart, he thought to himself, if the upper echelons of Xuanming Pavilion learned that Ye Sheng could achieve a breakthrough to the 3rd Revolution Realm, they would probably regret it, right?

“And how was the matter with the Bai Family resolved?”

Jiang Hao asked another question that concerned him.

With a behemoth like the Bai Family hunting him down, Ye Sheng’s life must not have been easy, even if he had broken through to the 3rd Revolution Realm!

Little did he know that the Bai Family was also having a headache right now!

Having several of their bases taken out by Ye Sheng one after another, their losses were truly severe!

Most importantly, they could do nothing about Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng shook his head, not intending to say more.

Jiang Hao would naturally learn all about these matters once he left the Shadow City Secret Realm.

Seeing Ye Sheng shake his head, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

He thought it was just as he had imagined—Ye Sheng’s life was not easy.

But with his own abilities, he was powerless to help in such matters, so he could only sincerely advise, “Ye Sheng, the Bai Family’s influence is also extremely powerful within the Shadow City Secret Realm!

They have several Invincible Realm experts!

Also, do you know about the ‘Giant Level’ existence?”

Jiang Hao stared at Ye Sheng, his expression extremely serious, especially when mentioning ‘Giant Level,’ his breathing even grew somewhat heavy.

“Naturally!”

Ye Sheng nodded while sipping his tea.

He had heard Huang Wenyue mention that there were fewer than twenty Giant Level existences in the Shadow City Secret Realm.

Jiang Hao said, “The Bai Family has one such Giant Level!

They have been unwilling to break through to the 4th Revolution Ghost Sect Realm, dominating within the 3rd Revolution Domain and continuously supplying resources to the Bai Family.

If they find out you are in the Shadow City Secret Realm, they will definitely not let you go.

In my opinion… it would be best for you to leave the Shadow City Secret Realm as soon as possible!

The world is vast, and it won’t be easy for them to find you.”

After speaking, Jiang Hao wanted to see a trace of panic in Ye Sheng’s eyes.

Anyone else hearing that the Bai Family had such formidable power would be one hundred percent panicked, wishing to leave the Shadow City Secret Realm immediately and hide as far away as possible.

Unfortunately,

the look in Ye Sheng’s eyes remained calm all along. Even when hearing that the Bai Family had a Giant Level existence, there was no ripple of emotion; instead, a flicker of excitement rose in his eyes!

Seeing this, Jiang Hao’s mind almost short-circuited!

Ye Sheng’s reaction was completely different from what he had imagined.

Upon hearing that the Bai Family possessed such formidable strength, he wasn’t alarmed but instead pleased?

“Thank you for the reminder!” Ye Sheng smiled and cupped his hands in gratitude. Regardless, Jiang Hao was reminding him to be cautious of his safety.

“Alright, I’ve said all I can, so I won’t say more!”

After speaking, Jiang Hao stood up, bid farewell, and returned to his own table.

This sudden interlude also robbed Ye Sheng of his interest in drinking tea. He stood up, paid the bill, and left the teahouse.

…

Watching Ye Sheng leave,

Han Liang and the others looked at Jiang Hao and asked curiously, “Is that the acquaintance you mentioned?”

“Why didn’t you introduce him to us?” Du Yu also said.

After Ye Sheng left, Jiang Hao shook his head and smiled, “Speaking of which, this person shares the same name as one of our classmates—also called Ye Sheng!”

“Ye Sheng?!”

Upon hearing this, Han Liang and the others all laughed.

They naturally remembered Ye Sheng.

Although he was a classmate, he was just an ordinary person.

Due to differences in status and position, they rarely interacted with him on a daily basis, only remembering that there was such a classmate.

Du Yu chuckled, “There are too many people with the same name, nothing particularly surprising about it!”

Han Liang then said, “Since this person is an acquaintance of yours, why not bring him into our team? That way, we’ll have one more ally when heading into the Dark Zone.”

The Dark Zone was extremely dangerous—the more people, the greater the safety.

Jiang Hao shook his head. “Although he has reached the 3rd Revolution Realm, he must have only just stepped into it! Bringing him into the team wouldn’t be of much help; instead, he’d become a burden to us!”

This wasn’t hard to deduce. Ye Sheng had only been a 2nd Revolution Cultivator before, and even if he had now entered the 3rd Revolution Realm, how long could it have been? Even if he was strong, he was likely only at the initial stage of the 3rd Revolution. Compared to them, he was still far behind.

“Just stepped into the 3rd Revolution Realm?”

“Then forget it!”

“Bringing him into the team would indeed be a burden!”

Upon hearing this, Han Liang and the others shook their heads one after another. They were all experts at the 3rd Revolution Perfection Realm. Although they didn’t have the 400-fold Combat Power of a Legendary Tier set, they still had 300-fold Combat Power and could rely on each other in difficult situations. Bringing along a Cultivator who had just entered the 3rd Revolution would definitely be a burden.

Jiang Hao smiled. “Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore! Let’s discuss something else.”

Han Liang took a sip of tea and said, “I wonder when Huang Wenyue plans to enter the Dark Zone?”

“Not sure.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao and the others frowned and shook their heads. They had chosen to align themselves with Huang Wenyue with the goal of entering the Dark Zone to seize opportunities. But recently, Huang Wenyue had been slow to act, which troubled them greatly.

“If we wait any longer, the opportunity might slip away!” one person complained.

“Exactly. The Federation Grand Examination is getting closer, and we’re all counting on entering the Dark Zone to gain some opportunities.”

As they discussed, they all expressed dissatisfaction.

“Let’s wait a little longer. It should be soon,” Jiang Hao said, though a trace of anxiety flickered in his brow.

The Federation Grand Examination was a major event in their lives. Whether they could leap through the dragon’s gate depended on this. After passing, the worst outcome would be becoming a City Lord or an Inspector.

…

At that moment, chaos suddenly erupted on the street outside the teahouse. Shouts filled the air, as if the entire Ghost Market had come to a boil.

“What’s happening?!” Du Yu stood up abruptly, his expression uncertain.

“Don’t know.”

Everyone looked serious. As they spoke, they rose and walked toward the window to see what was happening in the Ghost Market. They were on the second floor, and after reaching the window, they looked down at the street below.

The once lively but orderly street was now in complete disarray. At the far end, a messenger rode a ghost steed, holding an Authority Token as he galloped down the street, forcing the crowd to retreat to both sides.

“Urgent order! Everyone, prepare immediately! We are setting off for the Dark Zone!”

The messenger urged his ghost steed forward, holding a blood-red token.

“What?!”

“We’re heading to the Dark Zone now?!”

Many 3rd Revolution Experts who had been setting up stalls narrowed their eyes upon hearing this.

“It’s the Blood Edict Token!”

“That’s right. Huang Wenyue has given the order.”

“Why was there no news before? Suddenly, we’re entering the Dark Zone?”

On both sides of the street, the crowd murmured among themselves. Hearing that they were about to enter the Dark Zone, their breathing grew rapid.

Boom!

At that moment, a burly figure descended from the sky, radiating a powerful aura.

Arriving at the center of the street, he coldly looked at everyone and declared, “Everyone, prepare quickly. We depart for the Dark Zone in two hours!

The destination for this journey—Ghostfire City!

Not a single person is to be left behind!”

The burly Expert exuded a formidable aura, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone in the Ghost Market as he issued his domineering command.

On the second floor of the teahouse.

Du Yu was startled, nearly biting his tongue. “What?! Are we really entering the Dark Zone?”

Jiang Hao and the others were also greatly shaken.
