Sun Fan and his group, who were working for the four major families in Jiangnan, also received the news at the same time.

They returned to the place where they had just entered the secret realm.

The expressions on everyone's faces also turned grim.

Sun Fan, the only one whose expression remained unchanged, asked Dong Dahai with some curiosity.

"What kind of item is 'reversing the seasons'?"

Dong Dahai's lips twitched. He really wanted to say, "Am I some kind of Baidu?"

But I don't have time to complain right now.

He thought for a moment and explained, "The 'Reverse Season' is an item that can only be obtained in a special secret realm. It's specifically used for faction-versus-faction missions, and it's said to be quite valuable."

"The conditions for triggering the Reverse Season are very strict. In factional conflict missions, the weaker side is usually given some preferential treatment, such as being assigned to a stronger faction. Or the weaker side is allowed to enter the secret realm in advance and make arrangements with the relevant forces."

"The effect of going against the seasons is to smooth out this gap, allowing both sides to return to the same starting line and choose their faction again. However, this usually requires that the difference between the two sides when they enter the secret realm is very small, and that the difference between their factions is too large."

"Based on this, we can infer that the opponent's strength is probably above ours, and he should already be rushing to seize the support of the four major families."

After Da Hai finished speaking, everyone's expressions became even more unpleasant.

Red Wolf said anxiously, "Then what are we still standing here for? Let's hurry up and grab a faction! Isn't just waiting here to die?"

This time, without Da Hai speaking, Du Ming shook his head and said, "No, the other side's strength is rated above ours. How do you know they're not deliberately taking advantage of our mentality and ambushing us along the way?"

They didn't ask any further questions about who had gone to such lengths to reach the secret realm.

Currently, the only one with such strength and a valid reason is perhaps that person.

Yan Gaojiang, one of the Five Tigers of the Dark Martial Arts School, is known as the Fierce Tiger.

"This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to wait to die?"

Red Wolf was clearly getting anxious.

Anyone would feel fear when faced with the pursuit of such a ruthless person.

That's a ferocious tiger, rumored to be a master who has already entered the fourth realm.

No one spoke.

A stifling silence permeated the air, as everyone pondered their own thoughts.

Sun Fan was also thinking.

He had considered that Yan Gaotian might choose to make his move when he was in the secret realm, or when he was outside the school.

Therefore, he tried his best not to leave the school and when he entered the secret realm, he chose a secret realm unique to the Dark Martial Arts School.

But who could have imagined that Yan Gaotian would find a related secret realm that was connected to this secret realm from other secret realms?

This undoubtedly disrupted all his previous plans.

His original plan was to first let everyone gain favor with the four major families, and try to get them to the point where they could learn martial arts.

With the character analysis of the plot, it shouldn't be too difficult for his classmates to do the same.

He had also prepared some travel guides as gifts for everyone in advance.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't learn martial arts.

Afterwards, they could ambush the Blood Blade Ancestor in advance by entering the snow mountain.

Thus, after Blood Saber Ancestor Huo annexed the Four Wonders of the South, they became a key force. Given Hua Tieqian's nature, it wouldn't be difficult to get him to hand over the Siping Spear Technique.

Then, taking advantage of the heavy snow blocking the mountains, I'll try to win over Di Yun's favor. Whether I can learn the Divine Illumination Scripture or not depends on fate. At worst, I can take Di Yun's Blood Blade Sect internal energy as a temporary measure.

The internal energy of the Blood Saber Scripture should at least be around the rare level.

Unfortunately, all of this plan fell through because of the ferocious tiger's pursuit.

However, this may not be good news for the ocean.

But for him, it might not be so.

So he said, "In that case, why don't we go to another faction?"

Red Wolf could no longer contain himself and said almost hysterically, "It's not as easy as you say! The four great families are the righteous faction, which means that Fierce Tiger was originally assigned to the evil faction."

"Based on the information we've gathered, the evil forces in this secret realm haven't amounted to anything!"

"Several years ago, it was ambushed by the leader of the righteous path at the time, and its strength was greatly reduced. Recently, it has made a comeback, and the righteous path has gotten wind of it and plans to ambush it again."

"Our strength is already inferior to that of the ferocious tiger. Joining the weaker side would be suicide, wouldn't it?"

"You were the one who wanted to enter the secret realm, and you're the one who caused trouble. Why should we bear such risks?"

Red Wolf could no longer restrain himself and blurted out all his thoughts.

The others had different expressions, but Sun Fan could roughly guess what was going on.

Perhaps many people have some reservations about him.

Red Wolf's words were like a knife, piercing through the thin veil in everyone's hearts.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Mu Xue'er lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, not daring to look at Sun Fan. Du Ming was expressionless, but his clenched fists betrayed his nervousness. Only Dong Dahai remained leaning against the wall, his狰狞 (zhengning - fierce/hideous) scarred face revealing no emotion.

Sun Fan was not angry.

He simply looked calmly at Red Wolf and waited for him to finish speaking.

"Are you done talking?"

Red Wolf, panting heavily, stiffened his neck and said, "I'm done."

"Alright." Sun Fan nodded. "What you just said has two points that are right and two points that are wrong."

Red Wolf was taken aback.

"The first point is correct: the ferocious tiger is indeed stronger than us. The second point is correct: joining the four major families is definitely safer than joining the evil faction."

He paused. "My first mistake: I didn't mean to cause trouble. When I entered the secret realm, I didn't know he could catch up. My second mistake—"

He looked into Red Wolf's eyes: "You said, 'Why should we take such a risk?' Does 'we' refer to yourself, or to everyone else?"

Red Wolf opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Sun Fan glanced at the others and said, "Who here thinks they were implicated because of me? You can quit now. The main quest of the secret realm hasn't officially started yet. Quitting will only deduct half of your quest points; there won't be any other penalties."

No one spoke up. If they quit at a time like this, they would have no place in Class 5 afterward.

Of course, others can withdraw, but Sun Fan, as the initiator of the secret realm, cannot.

This is also why the ferocious tiger went to such lengths.

Mu Xue'er raised her head and said softly, "Class monitor, I don't feel like I've been implicated by you. You gave me significantly more resources for the last monthly exam than before. I... I know what I'm doing."

Du Ming was silent for a moment before speaking, "What Red Wolf just said doesn't represent my opinion. But squad leader, I really want to know—what are you planning to do?"

Sun Fan looked at Dong Dahai.

He wanted to see if Dong Dahai could figure out the key point at this point.

Dong Dahai finally spoke: "The fact that the Fierce Tiger used the reverse seasons indicates that his strength surpasses ours, and the system has determined that we need to protect him. However, his choice of the four major families doesn't mean that the evil path is actually much weaker than the righteous path."

"Why?" Red Wolf couldn't help but ask.
