As the scream echoed through the mountains, Zhuo Yuanbai's face turned pale, and he instinctively took a few steps back, urging Gu Chaoyan to stand in front of him as if seeking protection.
The terrified cries belonged to the disciples who had come for the examination. Recalling the miserable sounds he had heard earlier, Zhuo Yuanbai couldn't shake the feeling that something genuinely dangerous was happening.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Gu Chaoyan urgently suggested, "Just pinch the information elixir! We need to know what's going on."
However, Zhuo Yuanbai snapped back, "We can't do that! Pinching the Information Pill means giving up the examination. If we forfeit the Beastmaster Sect's examination, we won't smoothly enter the outer sect of the Supreme Sect."
"…."
"Why didn't you pinch it?" Zhuo Yuanbai asked sharply.
Hearing Zhuo Yuanbai's reminder, Chang Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat. She was going to do that, definitely.
