"I need help! Mu Bai! Mu Bai!" Zhao Manyan's high-pitched rang out from the stadium. 

Mu Bai glanced at the students. "Mages like us are exposed to higher risks compared to you. I might as well take care of our survival before yours first." 

The students were stunned. The next moment, Mu Bai had vanished out of their sight. 

"The Ocean Demons target the mages, especially those with a high level of cultivation. They didn't discover us for a very long time. This means that our method is effective," said the boy who had spoken to Mu Bai before.

"But how long are we going to hide here?"

"We must find a way to leave this place. Black Alert means there's no way out."

...

It was clear that the stadium was the most dangerous place of all. The reason Mu Bai had abandoned the helpless students was because he would only be endangering them more if he had brought them with him.
