Chapter 2413 Breaking the Falsehood and Finding the Truth
No sooner had they left than dozens of people arrived, all dressed in Changfeng Valley attire, but none of them gave Fenglu Jinlian a second glance.
There are so many medicinal herbs on Duzhi Mountain.
The leader asked:
"Which room does Shangguan Biao live in?"
The person next to him nodded and bowed, saying, "This one, this one!"
Have you found him?
"Dragonflies have already been dispatched to search the entire mountain. Elder Wu, please rest assured."
Disciples nearby whispered among themselves, "Could they have gotten wind of it beforehand and run away?"
Elder Wu immediately said, "Send more people and bring them back as soon as you find them."
"Yes!"

The hunt in the Panlong Secret Realm is in full swing.
The guardian spirit underground is very cunning. Despite the Earth Mother and the demon army's careful advance, it always manages to slip out of the encirclement at the last minute and capture one or two careless demons.
However, the range of the earth cage array is only so big, and it will shrink a bit after each capture. How could it possibly escape into the sky?
From the moment the Earth Mother invaded the Panlong Wasteland, she noticed that this guardian spirit was very weak, and its capture was only a matter of time; the Earth Mother was very patient. But occasionally, it also felt that something was amiss, though it couldn't quite put its finger on it.
Will the renowned Panlong Secret Realm be cracked so easily?
Just then, the Cyclops in the tree hollow swung his giant spiked club to smash the dark figure not far away, but accidentally flung it onto the city wall.
With a loud crash, dirt and stones flew everywhere, and a hole was smashed in the city wall.
This was a perfectly normal scene, but when the Earth Mother's clone turned around upon hearing the sound, it froze for a moment, its eyes flashing red.
Wait, something's not right!
It strode to the wall, examined it carefully, and suddenly swung its fist, slamming it heavily against the wall!
With a "crack," the entire section of the city wall collapsed, sending dust flying.
The renowned Panlong City Wall couldn't withstand the power of a single punch from the Earth Mother!
The demons immediately cheered, which sounded like howls to onlookers.
"Shut up!" The Earth Mother was furious. A monster next to her was about to howl when the giant stone man grabbed it and slammed it to the ground.
Crack! His liver and brains were splattered on the ground, and all the bones in his body were shattered.
The demons immediately fell silent, trembling with fear.
"Fool! Can't you see there's something wrong with this city wall?!" The Earth Mother's roar echoed through the city like a cannonball. "Why is the Panlong City Wall, known for its sturdiness, so weak?"
Upon hearing this, the Bear King immediately turned and rammed into the nearest city wall.
When it went berserk, its massive size could immediately expand two sizes larger, and with its powerful momentum, a hole two zhang square was instantly ripped into the city wall.
Other monsters followed suit.
The sound of crashing and banging was incessant as sections of the wall collapsed, none of them able to withstand the demons' pushing and smashing.
It looked so solid, so weathered, so tough, it should have been able to withstand divine weapons and the elements, so how could it have been so easily knocked down?
The only explanation—
“This city wall is fake!” Mother Earth squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, looking around.
If the city walls are fake, then can the city in front of the Earth Mother and the "Panlong Secret Realm" where the demons reside be real?
Also, what exactly are they hunting with the traps?
"No wonder!" Mother Earth sneered. "No wonder this thing burrows through the streets and alleys but never gets close to the city walls. It turns out it's afraid I'll discover the city walls' trickery!"
The buildings in the city can be smashed and destroyed by the monsters at will, since they are all ruins anyway. No one will doubt how sturdy ordinary houses are. But if a group of monsters goes to smash the city walls, they will be exposed immediately.
So the "guardian spirit" appeared when the Earth Mother planned to smash the city wall, just to divert the attention of the demons.
The Bear King casually plucked a few bricks from the city wall, as easily as if he were disassembling building blocks: "Th-what's that underground?"
"This isn't the Panlong Secret Realm at all, and it's not a guardian spirit," the Earth Mother declared decisively. "They're still trying to mislead us and buy me time. Get out of here!"
The demon army withdrew and headed towards the Shumin Academy.
But trouble ensued: the exit from the secret room had disappeared.
Seeing that the Earth Mother's anger was about to erupt, the Bear King cautiously said, "Mother, this place... this place also seems to be a secret realm."
But it's not the Panlong Secret Realm.
"Our people are still near the entrance; it has merely quietly changed the location of the entrance and exit," the Earth Mother said grimly. "It thinks it can trap me here? This is neither the Panlong Secret Realm nor as powerful as it. We have plenty of ways to get out!"
The Panlong Ruins were renowned, and it entered cautiously, saving all its magic power for its ultimate attack. Turns out, it was just a fake secret realm!
Excellent, excellent. It spends its days hunting geese, yet today it has been blinded by such a trivial skill.
The Bear King asked, "Now, what do we do now?"
"Breaking this 'secret realm' is easy; it's probably not as stable as the real Panlong Secret Realm." The Earth Mother, as expected of a professional at dismantling secret realms, came up with an idea in the blink of an eye: "Break its limits, and it will cease to exist."
"Break through the limits?"
"This place is fake, and the so-called 'Dragon God' is also fake, but that thing burrowing around underground is real." The Earth Mother then gave the order, "Tighten the Earth Cage Formation and pull it out!"
Upon receiving the order, the demons divided into groups of three to five, each group of powerful demons assigned to watch over one of the earth cage pillars, thus pushing the pillars closer and closer to the center of the area.
This cage, also known as a ground net, tightens more tightly, and the stronger the resistance of the creatures inside becomes. Fortunately, the demons worked together to hold the pillar firmly in place, preventing it from being overturned.
The diameter of the ground network area has been reduced to fifty zhang.
Then it was thirty zhang... twenty zhang...
Ten feet!
The Earth Mother grinned menacingly, still maintaining her large stone human form, and with a flash of gray light in her hand, she pulled out a huge double-pronged stone halberd!
What it does requires no skill whatsoever; it simply grabs the giant fork and stabs and stabs the ground indiscriminately.
In just a few breaths, the ground was riddled with holes.
Its giant fork's power is not just superficial; it can penetrate straight to the earth's core.
Furthermore, its speed in striking the ground is astonishing, even surpassing that of the Yaksha Sea King.
I don't know how many times it was stabbed, but then I felt the tangible sensation of the fork hitting something. The ground trembled violently, and a long howl came from somewhere!
"You hit the mark!"
The surrounding scenery gradually blurred, as if a layer of film had been removed.
Soon, the demons found themselves still standing in the Shumin Academy, but all they could see was lush greenery, and a light mist was floating around them.
This is the ruins of Panlong, not a secret realm.
They've returned to reality!
The demons let out a joyful howl, but few noticed that a round, smooth thing was moving along the ground more than a hundred feet away, like a horseshoe crab sliding on the seabed, before suddenly disappearing into the ground.
The Earth Mother's clone noticed, but didn't take it too seriously.
This thing is related to the fake secret realm we just encountered, but it has been destroyed. Our main task is not to hunt it down, but to analyze the current situation as soon as possible!
