Chapter 535: National Rescue
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."

"Hey, there's a reaction!"

"Grandpa is awake! That's great!"

...Amid the calls, Mr. Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

The familiar ceiling, the soft bed, and the bed surrounded by his grandchildren...

"I'm...going home..." Yuan Lao's mind was still a little groggy. He frowned and tried to recall for a while. Suddenly, his eyes widened, he sat up abruptly, and shouted:

"Luo Jun!"

"Where's that kid?!"

The descendants were shocked by their ancestor's reaction. Yuan Sizhe came forward and sighed, "Grandpa... you are the only one who came back. Xiao Luo..."

"How is he? He's not with me?" Yuan Lao held his head with regret. His last memory was being attacked by chaotic creatures. Afterwards, Luo Jun seemed to be fighting with them. But since he was able to come back, it meant that Luo Jun should have won...

And in his memory, he seemed to hear Luo Jun's voice in his confusion, saying that he would send him off first and then come...

He should have been at the exit of the maze by then. He would come soon after. It shouldn't take long. Could he have been delayed by something or was he blocked by something? Yuan Lao turned his head and glanced out the window. He found that it was already bright. He frowned and asked, "What day is it today?"

There is a difference in the speed of time flow in the Endless Maze and the main world. Maybe this is the reason for the time difference when returning?

"What day?" Everyone looked at each other. The eldest grandson Yuan Sijie frowned and said, "Today is the first day of the new year. Grandpa, your mission only takes a few hours..."

"New Year's Day?!" Yuan Lao's eyes widened in surprise: "Impossible, I spent more than a month in there!"

"Wait..." Yuan Lao suddenly thought of a terrible thing: "When did I come back? How long was I on the mission?"

Yuan Sijia replied: "You entered the mission with Xiao Luo at around nine o'clock last night, and then returned around one o'clock in the morning..."

"It's 1:18." Yuan Lingmin added.

"I was only on the mission for more than four hours?" Yuan Lao grabbed his hair and said, "It's already bright outside... How long have I slept?"

"It's half past ten in the morning now. You have slept for more than nine hours..." Yuan Sijie said.

"One hour is nearly ten days, nine hours or so, that's almost eighty days!" Yuan Lao's teeth began to chatter: "After Luo Jun sent me out, he has been in there for eighty days and still hasn't come out?"

"Quick, bring me my phone. I need to contact the Yuan Xiu Society headquarters!" Yuan Lao's frantic voice echoed throughout the room...

While Master Yuan was trying frantically to rescue his beloved disciple, a post on the Qigong practitioners forum also reached the highest popularity.

"The most difficult A-level mission that no one has cleared in decades, a breakthrough made by a Zhendan practitioner!"

The poster is an account that is very active in the forum, Wei Zhentian.

As the founder of Heiyexia and the biggest fan of Ye, she is also a well-known blogger in the forum, and many people follow her. When she posted a message in the early morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, everyone thought there was new news about Ye, but unexpectedly, when they clicked in, they found that it was not related to Ye.

This post records the mission experience of "Wei Zhentian" this time. The post mentioned an extremely difficult mission, a maze that was almost endless, various complicated rules, cryptic hints like a riddler, and the factor of invasion by chaotic creatures. Even Yuan Shouzhen, a master-level missionist in the Aurora cultivation world, was at a loss.

At first, everyone thought that "Wei Zhentian" was exaggerating. After all, this kind of self-media account usually blows all kinds of high praise and plays all kinds of word games. No matter how exaggerated her words are, the actual difficulty has to be discounted.

Therefore, most of the initial comments on this post were questioning voices, and some people even @ed the person mentioned in the post, Mr. Yuan, hoping to get an explanation.

But unfortunately, Mr. Yuan has not responded, so many people began to mock him, saying that the old man doesn't usually go online, and that Wei Zhentian is immoral for using his fame to stir up hype, etc...

But soon, a comment appeared under this post to clear Wei Zhentian's name.

"I am Zhuge Zi mentioned in the post. I can prove that everything she said is true!"

Zhuge Zi, although also a genius among the younger generation, his exposure is not very high. His most famous label recently is that he is the strongest freshman at Puhuashan College.

But to be honest, no matter how strong they are, they are still freshmen after all. Young people may pay more attention to this title, but many practitioners themselves don’t really care about it.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead, and there are talented people in every generation. This is just like the top scorers in the college entrance examination, there are always a few in every year. They may be a hot topic at the time, but as time goes by, if you ask you who were the top scorers in the college entrance examination five years ago, how many of them can you name?
Therefore, the so-called strongest freshman is actually not very valuable. When these so-called geniuses really make achievements and become independent many years later, this false reputation will be nothing but an insignificant part when talking about their resume.

Zhuge Zi herself is not a high-profile person. She seldom speaks on the forum and few people know her account. Normally speaking, even if she speaks out, it will not be convincing.

But the problem is that Zhuge Zifa did not use his own account to make this comment, but the official account of the Zhuge family!
This is one of the largest families in Zhendan, with a large population and many talented people throughout the generations. Some people even say that if the Zhuge family did not rely on the Yuan Xiu Society, they could develop into the third largest force of cultivators besides the Yuan Xiu Society and the Savage Hunters Association.

Such an official account's voice basically represents the entire Zhuge family's endorsement of this post! Immediately, the credibility of the post's content soared.

Almost instantly, the direction of the comments reversed 180 degrees, from the initial sarcasm to a heated discussion of the difficulty of the mission, possible strategies for passing the level, the strength of the chaotic creatures, hidden information, etc. There were also many people simulating below, if they entered this mission, how confident they would be in coming out.

Compared to the general online environment, most members of the cultivator forum are pragmatic. Those who can enter this thread to discuss have basically experienced chaos missions and can see the danger of the missions, which are related to their lives and property, so everyone is very cautious in their deductions.

In the end, after a few know-it-alls who talked big from a bird's eye view were drowned in everyone's saliva, all those who had discussed the matter seriously finally came to a conclusion.

This mission is impossible to complete normally, whoever goes will die!
Even for this team that successfully passed the level, there were too many coincidences. It can be said that their success is the result of wisdom, strength and luck.

As more and more discussions were held, the post became more popular and was soon pushed to the front page. Then, around the main post on the front page, some related discussion posts gradually began to appear, such as:

"Who is Luo Jun?"

"A freshman at Ningdong College, a previously unknown boy, turned out to be the key to passing the fatal mission?" "Ningdong has such a talent? He is well hidden!"

…………

Soon after, new posts appeared and Luo Jun’s resume began to be exposed.

"I found it. This Luo Jun is indeed not an ordinary person!"

"When he was still in the Solid Foundation Realm, he was able to break out of the Class B Rule Strange Stories on his own!"

"A person at the Guben realm took the entrance exam and was able to kill a criminal at the Peiyuan realm. If this isn't genius, what is he?"

"Look at his internship results in another world, and you'll know that this kind of academic master is not something that mortals like me can mess with."

…………

In the past six months, Luo Jun's experience has actually left many traces in the forum, but each time the discussion was not high, even if people paid attention to it at the time, they would forget it after a while. But this time, the post on Endless Maze allowed everyone to completely connect Luo Jun's resume, and put the image of a genius who came from an ordinary background, had only been in contact with Yuanqi for a short time, but made rapid progress and repeatedly created miracles in front of the public!

Sometimes, the so-called traffic really does come from the sky overnight.

However, this is not the end.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The discussion about the Endless Maze and Luo Jun has been quite heated, even overshadowing the abuse and memes about the Spring Festival Gala skits. The heat reached its peak on the night of the first day of the Chinese New Year. While everyone was looking for Luo Jun's account, an official pinned announcement pushed the heat of this incident to a new peak in the early morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

"The Yuan Xiu Association is recruiting practitioners from all over the country to collect abilities and treasures that can intervene in the mission of influencing chaos!"

After clicking in and reading the content of the post, everyone was completely shocked.

It turns out that the genius Luo Jun, who they had been discussing, is still trapped in that maze!
The post mentioned the information provided by Yuan Lao, the person involved in the mission. When they finally left the maze, they were attacked by chaotic creatures. Luo Jun desperately sent the injured Yuan Lao back to the main world, while he himself stayed in the maze!

Not only is he smart and talented in cultivation, he also has the quality of selflessness. Such a person, whether from the perspective of his future achievements or from the perspective of setting an example, cannot be allowed to die in vain!
At present, the Yuan Xiu Society has used many methods to try to rescue Luo Jun from the maze, but the mission of the endless maze is too special. They have tried many ways to intervene in the chaos mission, but none of them worked. As a last resort, they issued an announcement, hoping to recruit talented people from the public to help.

When Sun Xiaowei saw this announcement, she was completely stunned. She, Luo Jun and Zhuge Zi were of similar age and were all students. They left each other their contact information during the mission. She originally thought that Luo Jun had returned after she left. When she wrote the post, she had tried to contact Luo Jun, but could not get through at all.

At that time, Sun Xiaowei was a little upset about this, but after reading the post, she realized that Luo Jun is still trapped in the maze!
"When I came out, only four hours had passed. Now it's been a whole day. Doesn't that mean my junior has been in the maze for more than half a year? Is he...really still alive..."

Just when Sun Xiaowei was at a loss, the phone rang. It was Zhuge Zi.

"Hey, have you seen the official announcement?"

"See...see..." Sun Xiaowei's voice was trembling. "Xiao Zi, do you think Luo Jun has already..."

"No!" Zhuge Zi denied it flatly: "Don't forget his performance in the maze. He is stronger than we thought. It has nothing to do with strength. His firm will and calm mind make him more suitable than anyone else to survive in such an extreme environment!"

"But if you stay in the maze for too long, you will be replaced..." Sun Xiaowei mentioned the scariest part of the maze.

"I believe that no matter what difficulties he encounters, he can find a way to deal with them!" Zhuge Zi said, "I am now contacting the Yuan Xiu Association headquarters through my family and intend to go and help... Although our strength is still far behind, at least we are eyewitnesses and can provide some experience and information. Do you want to come with us?"

"Yes!" Sun Xiaowei nodded and said, "My junior helped us so much in the maze, I must save him!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Zi said, "Then let's meet in Yuandu, and I'll take you there then!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xiaowei immediately started booking a plane ticket.

In a high-end residential area in Ningdong, Ling Xin was sitting in the spacious living room. A replay of the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, but she had no intention of watching the show. She stared at the mobile phone in her hand with a frown, then gritted her teeth and dialed a number. She went to the balcony, stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the night view outside.

"Hello? Sister!" A relaxed and slightly lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Didn't you celebrate the New Year yesterday? Why are you calling me again?"

"Do you still have the thing that dad left behind?" Ling Xin didn't have time for small talk and went straight to the point.

"Hmm?" The voice on the other end turned serious: "Why did you think of this?"

"I want to borrow it... to save someone!" Ling Xin said solemnly.

"Are you serious?" The other party hesitated for a moment: "You know this thing is a consumable. It will be used less each time. And... don't forget our previous plan."

"I'm serious... Don't worry, I'll only try it once..." Ling Xin gritted her teeth and said, "At most I'll use my time, I won't use yours!"

"That's not what I meant." The voice on the other side sighed: "Who is this person who is worth such a huge price for you?"

"Don't ask anymore..." Ling Xin shook her head: "Just tell me whether you want to lend it or not!"

"Okay, okay..." Ling Xin finally couldn't get over it: "We are brothers and sisters, so what else can we borrow? But I can't leave Lingyun Island now, so I can only ask Uncle Yun to send it to you... In this way, it should be okay to send it to Yuandu, right?"

"Eh?" Ling Xin was slightly stunned: "How do you know I'm going to Yuandu?"

"The forum is going crazy right now." A laugh came from the other side: "That amazing Ning Dong kid, isn't that the name in your diary?"

After hearing this, Ling Xin's face turned red: "When did you peek at my diary!"

However, before she could continue to attack, the other party had already hung up the phone and did not want to fight...
