Su Xue, with the same worry, said to Ye Ningze:
"Yes, I also feel that this maze is becoming stranger and stranger."
"In fact, it's not just this maze that's strange, but the entire secret realm is quite strange. I've never encountered such a secret realm before, and you know, if we haven't encountered it, then it's equivalent to the unknown, and the unknown equals danger."
After Ye Ningze finished speaking, Su Xue pondered, indeed, it was like that.
"Then what do you suggest? Should we leave most people here and let a small portion enter?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningze suddenly smiled as if it were obvious and said to Su Xue in front of him:
"Do you have any better ideas besides this one?"
In just a few words, Ye Ningze had already formulated their next plan, while Su Xue had jokingly uttered that sentence.
Who would have thought that Ye Ningze would directly adopt this suggestion?
This was precisely what surprised Su Xue the most. Su Xue looked at Ye Ningze's serious expression.
She knew that Ye Ningze was not joking with her at all. If this were truly the case, then it was destined that the vast majority of people would not be able to obtain anything from this secret realm.
Since they had already come to this place, how could they easily give up?
If Su Xue were to tell her clansmen about this news, it was likely that these clansmen would immediately rebel.
After all, people die for wealth, just as birds die for food. It was almost impossible for them to give up the benefits that were within their grasp.
Su Xue did not want her clansmen to rebel at this time.
Ye Ningze naturally understood Su Xue's thoughts. Thus, Ye Ningze spoke to Su Xue in front of him and said:
"In fact, both you and I know in our hearts that those who lack ability, even if they enter the depths of this maze, will only face one outcome in the end, and that is death. Therefore, they can only die in vain, but their eyes are blinded by greed, so they cannot see clearly."
How could Su Xue not know that every word Ye Ningze said was true?
However, human nature was just like that. It had nothing to do with whether it was true or not.
"I do have a way to make them retreat, but I don't know if this will cause them to be disheartened and give up completely?"
When it came to demoralizing people, Ye Ningze was definitely a master, capable of making them doubt their very existence.
It was precisely because of this that if Ye Ningze were to truly act, it might not be a good thing for their future cultivation.
Su Xue was also very clear about this point, so Su Xue was hesitating.
After a long silence, Su Xue slowly said to Ye Ningze in front of her:
"I think you can try. If they cannot even withstand this blow, then they are not fit to enter the center of this mist. I have a feeling that there is a great treasure, or perhaps great danger, awaiting us in the center of this mist."
Ye Ningze nodded with a smile. This was indeed what a true leader should decide.
Instead of fearing responsibility or worrying about who might get hurt and thus not making a decision, a leader who dares to take responsibility and make decisions, even if they make wrong decisions, is still a responsible leader.
The most feared are those who dare not make decisions. They are the true black sheep, and they don't even know what they are doing wrong.
After the two of them had agreed on the next plan, Ye Ningze made a rather absurd decision: to set up a huge arena in front of the maze.
Anyone who wished to enter the maze had to pass the test of the arena; otherwise, they would have no right to enter the maze.
It was precisely because of this that these people who wanted to enter the maze had to purchase a ticket for themselves.
And the only person who could issue tickets was Ye Ningze. Ye Ningze's requirement was simple: they would form groups of five, and if they could last twenty moves against him, they would be allowed to enter the maze.
If not, they would have to turn back and miss out on the treasures, which would be incredibly cruel to them.
All those present were completely at a loss when they learned of this. After all, the most important thing for them was to obtain treasures and improve themselves.
However, Ye Ningze had now directly deprived them of this opportunity. Taking people's money was like killing their parents. Ye Ningze's actions could be described as killing and then stabbing the heart.
Therefore, the people present immediately objected. Some of the younger members of the Su family roared in anger:
"Who the hell do you think you are, to make us listen to you? Believe it or not, our Su family will make you a cripple from now on."
Unexpectedly, these people in front of him were so furious, but Ye Ningze still ignored their anger.
After all, these people did not yet understand the seriousness of the current situation, nor did they understand that this place might not be paved with gold as they imagined, but rather filled with more danger.
Lack of strength would only harm them. The young people of the Su family continued to clamor, and after a moment, someone finally couldn't stand it and stepped forward, wanting to teach Ye Ningze a harsh lesson.
And he was not alone. Following behind him were more than a dozen young men from the Su family. These young men, full of youthful vigor, naturally refused to suffer such a loss.
Besides, since they had already reached this place, they would not easily turn back. In their eyes, Ye Ningze's actions were essentially exploiting their interests.
After all, the resources here were limited, and if fewer people entered, there would be fewer people competing with them.
This meant that they would have more resources, so this was what these people were most worried about.
No one knew what these people were thinking at this moment, but they knew that those who had come for Ye Ningze were extremely enraged.
They now wished they could skin Ye Ningze alive, dismember him, and scatter his ashes.
Yet, Ye Ningze still stood there smiling, motionless.
Only when a dozen or twenty people had completely fallen at his feet did these people finally cease their actions.
However, even in this state, they still merely stared at Ye Ningze without any intention of leaving.
And Ye Ningze arrogantly pointed behind him and said to everyone in front of him.
