Upon emerging from the side path, the surrounding environment suddenly became clear and open, especially the crystals flickering with pale blue light that instantly captured the attention of these Wei Family Disciples!

One of the Wei Family Disciples opened his mouth wide, "Is… is this Xuanjing? To have so much? When did these become so plentiful?"

Another disciple's eyes brimmed with greed, "Xuanjing Stones are materials for crafting High-Grade Spiritual Weapons, usually too rare to even glimpse. I never expected there to be so many here! We're going to be rich!"

"Exactly, exactly, if we take all these Xuanjing Stones back to the Wei Family, perhaps every one of us could receive a High-grade Spiritual Weapon!"

"What are we waiting for, let's hurry up and put them into the Storage Cosmos Bag!!!"

Only a seemingly rational disciple said with a solemn face, "Everyone, don't act rashly! The sudden appearance of so many Xuanjing Stones in a place like this might mean something's strange, don't forget we're inside the Secret Realm!"

After speaking, he turned his head to another side and asked Xu Sheng, "I'm right, aren't I, Brother Xu?"

When they had entered the side path, they had specifically asked for Xu Sheng's name for ease of addressing him!

Xu Sheng glanced at him with his ink-colored eyes and could only silently purse his thin lips, unsure what to say.

This guy…

Had said everything he wanted to say!

He nodded softly, "You're right, in the Secret Realm, every moment is fraught with peril!"

The disciple pondered upon hearing this and nodded thoughtfully, "Brother Xu said, in the Secret Realm, we must be careful with everything. A place where treasures of heaven and earth are amassed might likely be guarded by Monster Beasts! How else could they have grown untouched to this day?"

As his words fell, a series of urgent howls of wolves started resounding…

Hearing these sounds, the Wei Family Disciples all exclaimed, "Are those wolf howls? There really are Monster Beasts, just as the experienced Brother Xu has said!"

"What do we do? The sounds suggest a pack of wolves. With so many Monster Beasts, we may not be able to withstand them!"

"What's there to fear? Since we have long known that Monster Beasts are present, Brother Xu must have thought of a strategy. We only need to trust him!"

"Right, since he knew there are Monster Beasts here, Brother Xu must have a plan!"

Immediately, the panicked expressions on their faces settled down as they all focused their gaze on Xu Sheng.

As long as Brother Xu was there, they would be safe!

The Wei Family Disciple closest to Xu Sheng asked, "Brother Xu, what should we do now?"

Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips and counter-asked, "What do you think?"

The Wei Family Disciple quickly pondered upon hearing this, "Brother Xu is asking me, he must be wanting to test me!"

With that thought, his spirits lifted…

He said earnestly, "I think we should first have the Wei Family Disciples quickly conceal their Spirit Force Fluctuations, then hide behind the surrounding stone pillars, find an opportunity to create a distraction to lure the wolf pack to another side, and finally take the chance to collect the Xuanjing Stones!"

Xu Sheng was speechless, and after a few seconds, finally squeezed out four words, "You… did well."

The disciple's face flushed with respect, "Brother Xu overpraises me, surely you had already thought of this. You asked to test my response capabilities, right?"

Xu Sheng took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Correct, let's do as you just described."

Lit by Xu Sheng's affirmation, the disciple's face showed even greater delight…

Is Brother Xu acknowledging my abilities?

He then turned to the other Wei Family Disciples and announced loudly, "All Wei Family Disciples, quickly cover your Spirit Force Fluctuations and hide behind the stone pillars!"

Hearing this command, the rest of them concealed their Spirit Force Fluctuations unhurriedly and took shelter amongst the dense stone pillars…

Xu Sheng was no exception...

It wasn't long before violent roaring erupted, followed swiftly by the sound of heavy, hurried footsteps...

In front of Xu Sheng and the disciples of the Wei Family appeared a dense pack of wolves, most of whose spirit force fluctuations had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, Scattered Immortal Realm...

And the leading Wolf King was at the terrifying Heavenly Immortal Realm!

The crimson eyes of these Wolf Demons flickered a few times, as if sensing something...

The Wei Family Disciples hiding behind stone pillars felt a shock in their hearts and whispered cautiously, "It's really a pack of wolves, and that Wolf King must have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

"Hiss... Lucky Brother Xu predicted this, otherwise we would all have become food for this pack of wolves!"

"Exactly! Worthy of being the man the Family Head has set his eyes on!"

As they were praising him, one of the disciples touched his nose and spoke frankly with a hint of naivety, "But I have a question, I'm not sure whether to say it out loud..."

All the Wei Family Disciples, including Xu Sheng, turned their puzzled gazes towards him...

Confronted with these sharp looks, the disciple felt a sudden increase in pressure and awkwardly said, "If they're Wolf Demons, shouldn't their sense of smell be as keen as a dog's?"

With that question, the atmosphere around them suddenly froze...

Who the heck would have thought of that!

In an instant, the complexion of the Wei Family Disciples turned ugly...

Their Spiritual Power was telling them that the wolves were slowly closing in!!

And the disciple who raised the point began to tremble involuntarily, looking at Xu Sheng like grasping at a lifeline in desperation, "Xu... Brother Xu, what do we do now... what should we do?"

He had not thought of this at all! He'd overlooked the innate abilities of the wolves!

Xu Sheng's dark eyes sharpened, and after giving him a brief look, he gave a straightforward answer, "Run!"

In their current situation, what else could they do besides escape?

Let's not even mention the dozens of Wolf Demons at the Earth Immortal Realm; the Wolf King alone was at the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

In a fight, it was feared that the Wei Family Disciples would be completely wiped out, himself included!

The disciple inhaled sharply with relief and excitedly said, "So that's it, Brother Xu, I've got it!"

Xu Sheng was immediately stunned...

A deadly triad sprang to mind!

You've got it? Got what? What else could you realize other than to run?

The disciple then said excitedly, "To prevent everyone from being annihilated by the wolf pack, someone must sacrifice themselves, using the strong scent of blood to suppress the other smells around!"

At this statement, even the normally calm Xu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what a genius!"

But this strategy might work!

Instantly, the Wei Family Disciples, desperate to survive, cast their malicious glances towards the one with the weakest cultivation level...

Clearly, he had become their target!

The disciple clutched his chest, crying out in terror, "What are you... What are you going to do?"
