Chapter 152: Unknown Danger, Three Days Later, the Hunt Begins

~6 min read 1,163 words

Yao Dian had doubts in his heart, not quite understanding.

As the lord of Lin Huang Ancient City, he had experienced the North Sea Hunt several times.

Such a situation had never happened before; although similar to before, it was a certain gap that had opened.

But now, it seemed overly large, there was also a directional issue, furthermore, it seemed true as his subordinate had just said.

There was something off.

Because in the past.

It was not so.

But exactly where the problem lay, Yao Dian was not clear.

So, after a moment's thought, he spoke again: "Continue investigating."

As his words fell, he had everyone surround the storm, continuously radiating Divine Thought, encompassing all surrounding conditions, in order to know exactly where the problem was.

The North Sea was vast, its end unseen; of course, this hunt's main location.

Actually, it was within that storm, for it was where the ancient Human Race powerhouses.

After temporarily pacifying the turmoil of the demonized living beings, they jointly arranged the means.

Confining them all to the same place.

Thus.

This could temporarily guarantee safety.

Subsequently, the North Sea Hunt formed in this way.

As long as the storm showed a gap, it signified the hunt was about to begin.

Now it was the same, but after hearing his subordinate's words, Yao Dian also felt something was off.

Yet after patrolling all around, he found no problems.

"Could it be that I overthought it?"

He furrowed his brows, feeling in his heart that there was indeed something off.

But the result was that he saw nothing, making it even stranger.

"Lord, what should we do? If we can't find any problem, should we pause or delay the hunt?"

The surrounding subordinates also gathered, wanting Yao Dian to make a decision.

He furrowed his brows, finally lifted his head, and said slowly: "We cannot stop; indeed we have not found any major problem. If so, let us proceed with the original plan and launch the hunt, setting it for three days later based on the gap's appearance."

The North Sea Hunt has been held many times; it's impossible to just suspend it after discovering a few minor issues.

Doing so would surely cause a great uproar; even Yao Dian could hardly bear it.

More importantly, all those participating in this hunt were Heavenly Pride from various factions.

Moreover, this era differs from the past, with numbers directly exceeding before.

If we truly stopped, wouldn't that cause an uproar?

Furthermore.

If there really is a problem then.

Know that behind those Heaven's Pride are the foremost great powers of the present age.

Those behind them would naturally not watch them encounter trouble and would surely intervene.

Anyway, the North Sea's seal has not been reinforced for a long time.

In short.

In Yao Dian's mind, the hunt could not be stopped.

"Yes." Beside him, the surrounding subordinates heard this and each nodded.

For such matters, they naturally had no decision-making authority.

As long as the lord says so, that's what we do.

Moreover.

Just now we also patrolled a round; it seems there really is nothing.

If we delay the North Sea Hunt for this reason, surely new problems will arise later.

"Alright, after returning, you will announce the hunt's start time to everyone; also, there is one more point: remind them of some issues concerning the North Sea Eye, saying there may be unknown risks."

Although Yao Dian ultimately found nothing, he still spoke now, feeling it necessary to remind.

After all, if something unexpected really happens then, at least there will be some explanation. Those subordinates beside him naturally understand the meaning.

Each also did not say much more.

Immediately.

Everyone's figures directly left the North Sea region.

But they did not know that, after their figures disappeared.

The storm became increasingly violent, moreover emitting a mysterious powerful aura.

Especially within that gap, phantom figures grew increasingly fierce, as if about to rush out at any moment.

In the void, terrifying Thunder raged.

This made the place suddenly become somewhat eerie.

However, all this.

Yao Dian and the others, however, did not notice.

Because those auras and fierce phantoms seemed intentionally so.

Lin Huang Ancient City.

As Yao Dian returned.

It also announced the official start time of the hunt, which is just three days later.

Instantly, all those prodigies who had gathered were eager to try.

Everyone was quite excited, because some people had been waiting for today for a long time.

After all, this hunt.

Perhaps it is a great opportunity for some to make a name for themselves.

But soon, Yao Dian announced another piece of news.

That is, the North Sea Eye has changed, possibly leading to unknown risks.

This made many people hesitate involuntarily, because such a situation had never happened before; if they wanted to inquire in detail, Yao Dian simply could not tell them everything.

Because of the specific issues, even he himself doesn't know, what can he say?

"What if there is danger? In today's world, as long as one steps onto the path of cultivation, danger is inevitable."

"Yes, moreover, the North Sea Hunt involves facing those demonized beings; a slight mistake could become a major crisis."

"Without undergoing trials, how can one reach the supreme? I think you're all overthinking."

Some also spoke up at this time, thinking that some dangers are really nothing.

Because in their view, the previous North Sea Hunts...

Some also encountered great calamity and ultimately fell.

As for those present, some had already long prepared for this.

So, basically no one took this to heart, thinking it would have no effect.

In fact, Yao Dian had already anticipated this.

Just simple danger.

It would be impossible to let those prodigies choose to retreat; on the contrary, it might even stir up their inner defiance, and they must go.

Of course, these currently have nothing to do with me, because what needed to be said and reminded has already been completed; even if problems arise eventually, on this point...

Then no one can blame anything.

Thus, moving on.

He didn't say much more.

He simply had someone pass a message to Lu Zhangsheng once again.

Of course, it was also a reminder about the problems occurring in the North Sea.

After all, no matter how I say it, I am also seeking something from them; doing so could earn some favor.

Having reached the Longevity Realm level, wanting to advance further is truly difficult; now Yao Dian's hopes are largely placed on the Lu Family Thirteen Xuan Ancestor, hoping they can give guidance.

If possible, I will forge a new path; if not, I fear I will be stuck in my current realm for life.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Zhangsheng received Yao Dian's reminder, which differs from everyone else's.

Regarding this, he took it very seriously, even thinking of many things because of it.
