Upon hearing the sounds outside the door, both Lu Ya and Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Feng couldn't help but mutter, "These people from the Card Master Alliance, of all times, they just happened to arrive right after we finished dealing with that Mourning Ghost. Did they time it so perfectly?"

Faced with Yang Feng's complaints, Lu Ya smiled and said, "Alright, stop complaining. Look at it from another angle, at least it means we're safe for now, right?"

Hearing Lu Ya's words, Yang Feng curled his lip, then stood up and shouted to the Card Master Alliance members outside the door, "There are people here, we need help!"

After receiving a response, three people dressed in Card Master Alliance attire quickly walked in from the outside.

The leader was a young man who wore glasses and looked very refined.

Following behind him were a middle-aged man and a woman.

The young man's gaze quickly swept across the entire mountain god temple. When he discovered that there were only Lu Ya and Yang Feng in the entire temple, a look of suspicion flashed across his face.

He then looked at Lu Ya and Yang Feng and said, "My name is Zhou Qian. I am a card master sent by the Card Master Alliance to search for and rescue the people trapped in 'Peach Blossom Village'."

"Are there only the two of you in the entire mountain temple? Are there any other people trapped?"

Yang Feng spoke first, saying impatiently, "It's just the two of us. We've been waiting for ages, and we're so glad you've finally arrived."

Zhou Qian nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will send someone to escort you to safety."

At this point, Zhou Qian paused, then continued, "However, I need to confirm your identities first. What are your identities, and what is your purpose in coming to 'Peach Blossom Village'?"

When Lu Ya heard Zhou Qian's questions, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't quite understand why Zhou Qian would suddenly ask these questions.

Yang Feng, standing to the side, laughed in exasperation. He couldn't help but mutter, "Hey buddy, are you guys checking my household registration?"

Zhou Qian clearly also noticed the dissatisfaction in Yang Feng's tone.

Zhou Qian could only look helpless. He patiently explained, "I'm sorry, the situation is special right now. Please cooperate, otherwise we cannot let you leave the secret realm for the time being."

Although Zhou Qian's words were gentle, his tone revealed an undeniable firmness.

This surprised both Lu Ya and Yang Feng.

Even if Lu Ya was stupid, he had already realized that the loss of control over the secret realm this time was not as simple as they had imagined.

Fortunately, Lu Ya quickly realized that he was not a stubborn person. Under these circumstances, cooperating with the other party was obviously the wise thing to do, and he did not want to cause himself any more trouble.

Lu Ya then explained, "We are both students from Lingjiang University. We entered the secret realm this time to collect materials for card making."

As he spoke, Lu Ya took out his student ID and handed it to Zhou Qian: "This should prove our identities."

After receiving the student ID from Lu Ya, Zhou Qian carefully checked it. Only after confirming that there were no problems with either of their student IDs did Zhou Qian breathe a sigh of relief.

He then changed his serious expression and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it's all a misunderstanding. The situation is special right now, please understand."

Lu Ya nodded repeatedly, then cautiously asked, "I understand, I understand. Can we leave now?"

After realizing that the loss of control in the secret realm was no simple matter, Lu Ya now only wanted to leave the secret realm as soon as possible, because the sooner he left, the safer he would be, and no one knew what else might happen in the secret realm.

Zhou Qian didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, "Come with me. I'll take you away from the secret realm now."

As he spoke, Zhou Qian walked out of the mountain god temple, and Lu Ya and Yang Feng quickly followed.

Even after leaving the mountain god temple, the gray-white mist still shrouded the entire secret realm.

Through the mist, you can see a large village at the foot of the distant mountains; that is the core area of ​​the secret realm, "Peach Blossom Village"!

At this moment, a large number of eerie figures were steadily approaching Peach Blossom Village, surrounding the entire village. This scene made Lu Ya's scalp tingle.

Even if he had the Weeping One card now, he couldn't guarantee that he could survive in such a treacherous environment.

Yang Feng, standing to the side, couldn't help but shudder. He looked at Zhou Qian and asked, "What exactly happened to Peach Blossom Village? How did it become like this?"

In response to Yang Feng's question, Zhou Qian shook his head: "The situation regarding Taoyuan Village is currently kept completely confidential, so please don't ask any more questions about it."

Yang Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he simply shut up and stopped talking.

Fortunately, these strange creatures all headed towards Peach Blossom Village, and the mountain god temple where they were located was on the outskirts of the secret realm, some distance away from Peach Blossom Village.

This allowed Lu Ya and his companions to leave the secret realm without any obstacles or accidents.

Soon, led by Zhou Qian, the group arrived at the edge of a cliff, where a wooden bridge hung suspended.

The wooden bridge stretched into the thick fog, obscuring the view on the other side.

Zhou Qian pointed to the wooden bridge and said, "After Taoyuan Village went out of control, all the regular entrances and exits became impassable."

"This bridge is a temporary passage built by our people using prop cards. As long as we cross this bridge, we can return to the real world."

"I need to continue searching for the trapped people, so I'll leave you here for now."

Hearing Zhou Qian's words, Lu Ya and Yang Feng both breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Ya nodded, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

Zhou Qian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's our job. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After a brief farewell, Zhou Qian turned and walked back towards Taoyuan Village.

After Zhou Qian left and his figure completely disappeared into the mist, Yang Feng looked at Lu Ya and asked, "Brother Lu, do you think the situation in Peach Blossom Village is really that serious this time?"

Seeing Yang Feng's barely suppressed curiosity, Lu Ya sighed and said, "Who knows? They already said it's a secret!"

"Besides, knowing too much about this kind of thing won't do us any good, so please don't ask any more questions."

Having barely escaped death, Lu Ya didn't want to cause himself any more trouble at this point.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Feng felt that what Lu Ya said made sense, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The two then stepped onto the wooden bridge and walked towards the other side.

After traveling a short distance through the dense fog, the surrounding fog began to thin out.

Finally, as the thick fog dissipated, the familiar high-rise buildings reappeared before Lu Ya, and he stood on a hard asphalt road.

This completely relaxed Lu Ya's tense heart, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"I'm finally back!"
