"All sects and forces wishing to participate in the secret realm, please report to the Azurecloud Guesthouse for registration and to receive your entry token!"

Lingyunzi's divine sense swept across Azurecloud Town, delivering the message to everyone.

Upon receiving the news, people immediately rushed to the Azurecloud Guesthouse.

Situ Haonan also got the message and was preparing to head out for registration.

Before he could leave, a "waiter" from the Azurecloud Guesthouse arrived at his door, politely saying, "Master Situ, your family is our most esteemed guest at the Azurecloud Guesthouse, so there's no need for you to register. We'll handle everything for you. May I ask if anyone from the Situ family is participating in the secret realm? How many in total?"

Situ Haonan was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded, "Six! Three at the Foundation Establishment stage, and three at the Golden Core stage!"

"Very well, here are the identity tokens for the six members of your Situ family. Please keep them safe. In three days, head to the Azurecloud Sect's mountain gate to await entry into the secret realm! Additionally, Master Situ, please submit the entry fee for the six participants."

Situ Haonan accepted the six identity tokens and handed over sixty thousand spirit stones.

He then watched the "waiter" leave, deep in thought.

He realized that after entering the Azurecloud Guesthouse, the facilities were top-notch, the layout was top-notch, and even the service was top-notch!

Compared to the service at the Azurecloud Guesthouse, what kind of attitude did the waiters and shopkeepers at other inns have?

He felt that staying at the Azurecloud Guesthouse was well worth it, and if given the chance, he would definitely stay there again!

In fact, this sentiment was shared by others staying at the Azurecloud Guesthouse.

As cultivators, they were accustomed to a certain level of respect and honor.

However, the respect at the Azurecloud Guesthouse was neither servile nor simply reverence for cultivators; it was a respect that made them feel comfortable!

Meanwhile, Jiang Hegui also received a visit from a waiter.

Although Jiang Hegui was from the Langya Sacred Ground, they hadn't registered under that name when they checked in.

The waiter at the guesthouse didn't mention sect affiliations or concern himself with the recent conflict between the Azurecloud Sect and the Langya Sacred Ground. He simply asked if Jiang Hegui was sending anyone into the secret realm, how many to register, and then collected the fee.

This left Jiang Hegui conflicted about what identity they should use to enter.

Moreover, the Azurecloud Sect was allowing people from the Langya Sacred Ground into the secret realm?

Was there really no issue with this secret realm?

As the number of registrations surged, so did the Azurecloud Sect's income.

However, when it came time to register members from the Heavenmyst Sect, a complication arose.

Su Wei, a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenmyst Sect, questioned Baiyunzi, who was in charge of registrations, "Will members of the Azurecloud Sect participate?"

Baiyunzi glanced at Su Wei and replied indifferently, "Did you think this secret realm was just for your benefit?

Why wouldn't members of the Azurecloud Sect participate in their own secret realm?"

She assumed these sects didn't want Azurecloud Sect members to participate and was displeased.

"I'll tell you, not only will three Golden Core cultivators from the Azurecloud Sect participate, but fifty Foundation Establishment disciples who have successfully reached the Sea-parting Stage will also join this secret realm."

Su Wei was taken aback.

He had planned to rally others to pressure the Azurecloud Sect into allowing Zhang Yang and others to participate if Baiyunzi said they wouldn't.

Unexpectedly, so many from the Azurecloud Sect were participating?

"If Azurecloud Sect members are participating, we can rest assured," Su Wei quickly said. "We were just worried that the secret realm might have issues, deliberately harming others. By the way, there's another question for you, Senior. Will the Azurecloud Sect be responsible for our safety in the secret realm, or is it every man for himself?"

Baiyunzi frowned, unsure how to address this issue.

Zhang Yang had only instructed her to register participants and collect fees; nothing else was mentioned.

The matter of life and death for over a thousand people was no small issue.

She quickly used her divine sense to contact Zhang Yang and ask for his decision.

The secret realm was Zhang Yang's decision, and since he had brought such significant changes to the Azurecloud Sect, Baiyunzi and others trusted his judgment.

"Ask them if they want the Azurecloud Sect to be responsible for their safety or if they prefer to take responsibility themselves," Zhang Yang replied to Baiyunzi, then shouted, "Master, is the secret realm dangerous? Can you control it?"

He always called out to his master in this manner.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"The secret realm is right under my nose!" Qingyunzi replied nonchalantly.

After all, he created it, didn't he?

Zhang Yang understood and waited for Baiyunzi's response.

After Baiyunzi posed the same question to the crowd, Su Wei and others exchanged glances and smiled, "With so many people participating in the secret realm, expecting the Azurecloud Sect to ensure everyone's safety might be difficult.

Especially inside the secret realm, where conflicts over rare treasures are inevitable.

In such cases, the Azurecloud Sect might not be able to manage everything.

Therefore, I think it would be best if everyone takes responsibility for their own lives in the secret realm."

Several sects allied with the Heavenmyst Sect immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, if any casualties occur, we can't blame anyone else."

Baiyunzi relayed the situation to Zhang Yang, who smiled and promptly gave her the answer.

Baiyunzi raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Our Azurecloud Sect's secret realm hasn't been opened for many years, and we can't be certain of the dangers within.

Therefore, we originally intended to ensure the safety of every participant in the secret realm. If there are any oversights or incidents, we ask for your forgiveness.

However, since some people are willing to take responsibility for their own lives, we can focus our efforts on protecting others, which should be beneficial for everyone.

But for those who choose to take responsibility for their own lives, please have your sect elders and yourselves sign a life-and-death agreement.

Everyone must witness that you voluntarily gave up the Azurecloud Sect's protection, and if anything happens, you can't blame us."

Su Wei and others were stunned.

Should they sign or not?

Su Mingyang stepped forward, looking at Baiyunzi, and asked, "Will the Azurecloud Sect members sign?"

Baiyunzi smiled oddly, "Foundation Establishment disciples are too weak; they are the future of our Azurecloud Sect, so we must ensure their safety. Golden Core disciples are already accomplished in their cultivation, and we have confidence in them, so whether they sign or not, we won't interfere.

In fact, our Golden Core disciples are entering the secret realm with a mission.

The secret realm hasn't been opened for many years, and they must explore it thoroughly to pave the way for future Foundation Establishment disciples. They are well aware of the potential dangers and have long since put their lives on the line.

Moreover, the secret realm will be open for a month, and I guarantee our sect's disciples will be the last to leave!"

"Since the Azurecloud Sect's disciples are prepared to face danger, our disciples have nothing to fear either. We'll sign!" Su Mingyang and others said in unison.

They, along with Su Wei and others, left their signatures, witnessed by all.

Baiyunzi looked at the signed names with a peculiar expression.

She had already communicated with Zhang Yang and knew these people might have other intentions.

But trying to mess with Azurecloud Sect disciples?

Have they got the wrong target?
