Chapter 172: Can you shut up?

"Thank you."

Meng Zi was slightly shy, especially since Lin Bai’s hand was still wrapped around her waist.

That warm palm made Meng Zi’s cheeks flush, but the next second, she felt a chill at her waist.

Lin Bai was frowning as he looked at everything unfolding before them.

"Not good, the secret realm is collapsing."

The great powers within the main hall, watching the turmoil in the secret realm below, could not help but grow nervous.

"Quick, everyone, open the teleportation, otherwise they will all be buried in the secret realm."

The elder in the primary seat was the first to react, and the other great powers reacted one after another, beginning to cast spells.

They attempted to open the secret realm’s teleportation channel.

Perhaps because the secret realm had been damaged, changing the laws within, the great powers were unable to open it.

"What are we to do? If this teleportation channel cannot be opened, these disciples will all die."

"Everyone, think of another way. With so many of us, it should be no problem."

The great powers were all at their wits' end.

At the same time, the disciples in the secret realm also began to panic. Their current standing area was reduced to such a small spot.

A moment of carelessness would result in falling into the void.

Lin Bai also couldn't help but frown. He never expected that he would accidentally destroy this place, and most importantly, they were still trapped here.

"Everyone, give me an idea. I'm trapped in the secret realm and can't get out. Is there any way to leave this secret realm?" Lin Bai finally had to seek help from the chat group, hoping everyone could give him some advice.

Xiao Yan: "Oh my, you're actually still alive?"

Ying Zheng: "It's a secret realm; can't you just have someone open it for you?"

Tang San: "It's likely the secret realm is collapsing, so you'll have to pray for your own luck."

Ye Ye Gucheng: "Brother Lin, it's great that you're still alive, otherwise I fear I would blame myself for a lifetime. *crying*"

Lin Bai: "I'm doing fine, I've reached the final stage, but this secret realm seems to be collapsing, and I just want to ask how I can get out."

After a simple check-in to say he was safe, Lin Bai was more concerned with who could give him an idea now.

He didn't want to die in this secret realm.

Xiao Yan: "Since the secret realm is already collapsing, why not just destroy it completely? Use a sharp blade to cut through the void."

Yao Yue: "Can you be a bit more reliable? Even if Lin Bai is heaven-defying enough, how could he possibly handle spatial laws at his current realm?"

Looking at Xiao Yan’s suggestion in the chat group, Lin Bai looked at the holy sword in his hand, the corners of his mouth curling up.

"Thanks, Brother Xiao Yan."

With a simple word of thanks, Lin Bai exited the chat group.

Inside the secret realm, the others were already panicking.

"I don't want to die yet, I haven't even gotten married."

"Father, Mother, Master, I have failed you; I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties in the future."

"Can you all shut up? Otherwise, I'll make sure none of you can speak."

Lin Bai was getting annoyed by the noise. What could these people do besides scream and shout?

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how would we be in this situation?"

"That's right, it's all your fault. If we die, we won't let you off even as ghosts."

Hearing Lin Bai’s voice, several sect disciples shouted even louder.

They pushed all the responsibility onto Lin Bai.

"That's assuming you can beat me."

Lin Bai swept a cold glance over them, and the few fell silent, not daring to say more.

"Lin Bai, the great powers haven't taken action for so long; there must be some variable."

"Everyone is just too scared; don't take it to heart."

Meng Zi said softly.

But Lin Bai didn't even give her a glance; after all, the others were too noisy.

Lin Bai gripped his sharp blade again, gesturing toward a certain spot.

"Lin Bai, what are you doing again?"

Lin Bai’s actions left everyone present confused.

"Just as you said, the great powers have likely encountered trouble and are unable to open the teleportation gate of this secret realm. Now, we can only find a way ourselves."

"And I intend to break this secret realm to save myself."

Lin Bai said indifferently. Before anyone could object, Lin Bai swung his holy sword and slashed fiercely at a spot in the void.

Instantly, the entire secret realm underwent a massive upheaval, and the powerful force even affected the great powers outside.

"What is going on?"

The great powers outside were trying every method to open the secret realm.

But despite countless attempts, there was no progress.

The sudden upheaval of the secret realm made all the great powers nervous. Could it be that the secret realm had entered its final collapse?

They were affected by the shockwaves and were sent flying.

"Look, the secret realm has been opened from the inside."

Soon, a great power discovered that a gap had appeared in the secret realm, and that gap was gradually widening.

Slowly, the figures of Lin Bai and the others appeared before everyone.

"It really was slashed open?"

Everyone was stunned on the spot. They had originally thought Lin Bai was just joking.

They never expected that he would actually break the secret realm in such a heaven-defying manner.

"What, do you all want to die in there?"

Seeing that these people weren't moving and were blocking his exit, Lin Bai spoke with displeasure.

Only then did everyone react and hurry out one after another.

Amidst the astonishment of the great powers, the survivors from the secret realm appeared before them.

And Lin Bai was the last to step out of the secret realm.

As Lin Bai left the secret realm, it collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually returning to the void.

"Great, we're still alive."

"I had already thought of my last words, but I didn't expect that, thanks to Lin Bai, I'd still be alive to see the sun today."

Once everyone confirmed they were safe, they looked at Lin Bai with full admiration.

"It wasn't like this when you were complaining about Lin Bai just a moment ago; now you're all sucking up to him."

Elder Ouyang Lan pouted unhappily. Clearly, these people hadn't had this attitude while in the secret realm.

In fact, everyone had been complaining that it was Lin Bai who had put them in danger.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, their attitudes would all change.

And those sect disciples who were called out were instantly silenced.

These words had indeed come from their mouths just moments ago, and suddenly, they felt a bit guilty when looking at Lin Bai.

But Lin Bai didn't want to bother with them, and he had also seen the many great powers before him.

He stepped forward and bowed to the great powers.

And as the disciples came out, the great powers had already returned to their seats.

Regardless, they couldn't lose their dignity in front of these disciples.

"Disciple Lin Bai, pays respects to all Masters."

"Disciple Meng Zi, pays respects to all Masters."

"Disciple Elder Ouyang Lan, pays respects to Master."

"Disciple Wang Yangming, pays respects to Master."

"Disciple, pays respects to Master."
