Upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, everyone finally reacted.
While they were on the first layer, although they saw those strange beings all waking up, they didn’t pay much attention because the lower realm stranges were inherently more active.
However, the stranges confined on the second layer were already of a relatively high realm, and the higher the realm, the higher the intelligence. They knew they were sealed, and struggling further would be in vain, so most of them would choose to sleep to preserve their strength.
Even if soone ca down to check the seals, most of the stranges would not wake up. However, this ti they just reached the second layer and discovered that these stranges were all awake.
For a mont, several directors of the Deceit Suppression Bureau had a bad premonition.
These stranges all waking up at the sa ti—could it be that they thought they could break through the seal?
Zou Yi said at this point, "Let’s not scare ourselves; perhaps it’s just a coincidence. Let’s go down to the next layer and take a look."
Hearing Zou Yi’s words, Lu Yu said, "Director Zou is right; maybe it’s just a coincidence."
Without overthinking it, everyone then proceeded to the third layer. As soon as they went down to the third layer, they found that the stranges on the third layer had also awakened.
Upon witnessing this, the directors finally realized the seriousness of the issue. If all the stranges on the second layer waking up was rely coincidental, then the awakening on the third layer could absolutely not be explained by coincidence.
Xiong Qingcang imdiately said to Ji Yunng, "Your Highness, the situation seems off. Perhaps you should leave the Demon Suppression Tower for now while we go down to investigate."
After all, Ji Yunng was a princess and could not afford any mishap in the Demon Suppression Tower, especially since she was rely at the Spirit Realm. If any stranges escaped, she would not be able to deal with them.
Ji Yunng, however, remained unfazed and said, "No need to worry, let’s continue to the next layer and see."
For so reason, Ji Yunng always felt that these stranges were looking at her in an unusual way, almost as if they revered her, and she seed to sense that the spiritual evil within her body was becoming unusually active, as if resonating with the spiritual evil of these stranges.
Seeing that Ji Yunng insisted on going to the next layer, Xiong Qingcang didn’t say more, but at this point, they were all on high alert, ready to act at any mont.
When they arrived on the fourth layer, they found those sealed stranges had also awakened, making the directors of the Deceit Suppression Bureau more and more uneasy. They all felt that these stranges waking at the sa ti might be brewing so kind of conspiracy.
Although they were in a sealed state, seemingly unable to communicate with other stranges, nobody could be sure whether these stranges had any special ans of communication. Rumors said that the power inside stranges could resonate with each other, maybe those stranges were able to awaken simultaneously because their internal forces resonated.
Then everyone continued to proceed downward. Below the fourth layer, the sealed stranges were Earth Realm Stranges, with only one strange per layer, and there were five Earth Realm Stranges sealed beneath the Demon Suppression Tower in total.
When they reached the fifth layer, they suddenly found the seal on the fifth layer had been destroyed, and upon seeing the destroyed sealing array, everyone’s face turned pale, blood drained from their faces.
Xiong Qingcang, coming back to his senses, said, "Not good! An Earth Realm Strange has escaped!"
As his words fell, Xiong Qingcang didn’t hesitate and darted toward the next layer, his body turning into a blur.
The other directors also quickly followed, leaving Lu Yu to stay beside Ji Yunng to protect her.
Ji Yunng’s expression also beca very serious upon seeing the broken array on the fifth layer. This was an Earth Realm Strange; Earth Realm Stranges were immortal and virtually impossible to kill. To seal these five Earth Realm Stranges, the entire Dazhou paid an unknown price back then, and now that an Earth Realm Strange had broken the seal and escaped.
In the coming days, fear of havoc and calamities would once again plague Dazhou.
Ji Yunng then headed towards the next layer to see if other Earth Realm Stranges had escaped, and upon reaching the sixth layer, she also found the seal there had been broken.
She quickly moved deeper down the layers, soon reaching the last layer beneath the Demon Suppression Tower.
The last layer underground the Demon Suppression Tower was also in disarray, with no trace of the sealed strange.
The directors of the Deceit Suppression Bureau stood there dazed, looking at the desolate layer.
The atmosphere underground was heavy and oppressive, and after an unknown ti passed, Ji Yunng broke the silence, "Now is not the ti to be in a daze. If those Earth Realm Stranges recover their powers, with Dazhou’s current strength, it will be very hard to suppress them again."
Hearing Ji Yunng’s words, everyone awoke from their stupor. Lu Yu said, "The princess is right; we must quickly find the hiding places of these Earth Realm Stranges. We cannot let them regain their strength."
Zou Yi said, "But those Earth Realm Stranges have been missing for who knows how long, and they left without a trace. Finding them is likely not easy."
Xiong Qingcang said, "Even if it’s difficult, we have to try. These are Earth Realm Stranges, more terrible than that Earth Realm Wolf Demon. If they regain their strength, the entire Capital city would be in danger."
Wu Feng then looked at Ji Yunng and asked, "Your Highness, should we report this matter?"
Before Ji Yunng could respond, Lu Yu quickly said, "We can’t report it, absolutely not. If news of the Earth Realm Stranges breaking free gets out, there will be chaos in Dazhou. Once there’s chaos and the Qi Fortune decreases, without the suppression of Dazhou’s Qi Fortune, those strange evils will beco even stronger, and dealing with them will be even harder."
Wu Feng said, "But with just the power of our Deceit Suppression Bureau, even if those Earth Realm Stranges are not at their peak strength, it’s difficult for us to seal them."
Those Earth Realm Stranges were immortal, and the difficulty of sealing them was imaginable.
Two of the Earth Realm Strong Persons from the Deceit Suppression Bureau had already left, one was Fan Yaodong, and the other was He Dongqi.
With their current strength, it would indeed be difficult to suppress those stranges.
Ji Yunng then said, "I will personally visit the Fan Mansion and He Residence."
The crisis facing the Deceit Suppression Bureau, or rather, Dazhou, must be confronted with all efforts.
Lu Yu suddenly thought of sothing and said, "Should we seek help from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"
Ji Yunng was betrothed to Lu Chen and would soon be married into the Zhen Nan Prince Manor. If the situation with the Earth Realm Stranges was not handled well, Ji Yunng would surely bear the bla. If the Zhen Nan Prince Manor was inford, they might choose to help the Deceit Suppression Bureau to prevent Ji Yunng from being punished.
