Capítulo 980: Chapter 942: Secret Realm (Please Subscribe)_1
Xu Sheng heard this explanation and a faint smile appeared on his cheeks…
Originally, he thought that these people would trace it back to Zhou Qingruo, but since he had also killed the guards responsible for watching the city gates outside Tianyuan City a few days ago…
So no, suspicions had already started to arise that it was he who had acted against the Yan Family…
Then, with a sudden change of tone, he asked, "Well, Miss Qingruo, can you now tell me what it is you need?"
Zhou Qingruo, upon hearing this, first picked up her cup and took a light sip…
Immediately after, her expression became grave as she said, "I need you to participate in a Secret Realm and take something out from inside; it's very important to me!"
What she wanted was the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit, which, after consumption, had a significant restraining effect on one's state of mind; as long as she had that fruit, she was very likely to maintain her sanity while using Martial Techniques!
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and pursued the matter, "Oh? Miss Qingruo's strength should be much greater than mine, so why not do it yourself?"
As he asked this, he had already vaguely guessed the answer, probably this so-called Secret Realm also had a restriction on cultivation levels…
Zhou Qingruo, seemingly having anticipated Xu Sheng's question, responded almost reflexively, "This Secret Realm can only be entered by cultivators below the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with my cultivation level I cannot force my way through!"
The reason she set her sights on Xu Sheng was exactly because he had been able to kill dozens of guards responsible for watching the city gates, which surely meant he was not weak among his peers!
If she chose someone else from the Earth Immortal Realm who was very average, and they failed in the Secret Realm, her plan to obtain the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit would be ruined!
Because of practicing Martial Techniques, her entire body was already deeply sickened, she had no time left to gamble…
Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, "I see, no wonder Miss Qingruo saved me. When will this Secret Realm open?"
Zhou Qingruo pressed her tender lips together, focusing her gaze on him and said, "In three days. You now have time to prepare mentally because the death rate inside this Secret Realm is very high, of course, you can also refuse my request, but..."
After speaking, her Beautiful Eyes gleamed with a crimson color…
The strong sense of threat was clear as day…
Xu Sheng felt this threatening aura and chuckled lightly, "Miss Qingruo, you don't need to threaten me specifically. I will naturally handle what I've promised, especially since you wiped out the Yan Family for me!"
He certainly wasn't naive enough to think that Zhou Qingruo had wiped out the entire Yan Family without taking any risks!
Zhou Qingruo snorted coldly and said with a frosty tone, "Good that you understand! But let me warn you, the danger in this Secret Realm is beyond your imagination."
As her words fell, she seemed to sense something, and her expression suddenly changed…
Xu Sheng, noticing something amiss, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Qingruo bit her thin lips and said with a cold face, "They actually came!"
She had thought that she would be able to shake off those guys by coming here, yet they had still managed to follow her!
And, it was precisely during the time when the Secret Realm was about to begin, definitely not a good omen!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng spread his Spiritual Power around, and immediately sensed several extremely terrifying presences…
At a rough estimate, each presence was far more terrifying than Yan Buxiu - at the very least, they were above the Tianyuan Realm!
Clearly, they were not strong cultivators from within Tianyuan City!
He asked with slight surprise, "Who are these guys?"
Zhou Qingruo glanced at him with her Beautiful Eyes and said with an icy voice, "They are my pursuers! They belong to an Elder of a Great Sect in Central State. After losing my sanity, I slaughtered their entire sect's disciples to the last…"
"Since then, they have been mercilessly hunting me down!"
It wasn't that she was unwilling to take action herself, but the strength of these Elders was not to be underestimated, some of them even had higher cultivation levels than her own!
Xu Sheng did not ask further; he had already grasped a general idea of what he wanted to know, and could guess some of the unknowns…
Suddenly, Zhou Qingruo slowly stood up and said, "Let's go, it's too conspicuous here!"
…
Three days later!
The second most powerful family in Tianyuan City, the Wei Family, not only completely took over the Yan Family's resources but also assumed their position, becoming the rulers of Tianyuan City!
Of course, the first thing the Wei Family did was to call off the manhunt for Xu Sheng, clearly fearing they might follow the Yan Family's fate…
"Who would have thought, just after the Yan Family left, Tianyuan City's second most powerful family, the Wei Family, would take their place! It's clear they've been plotting this for a long time!"
"That's for sure, it's not just a takeover, all of the Yan Family's resources have now been pocketed by them! Their strength has risen another notch!"
"However, today seems to be the day the secret realm of our Tianyuan City opens, which is bound to be a fierce competition!"
"Only disciples from a few big families can participate, the rest of us can only look on with envy and excitement!"
After taking in the activity below, Zhou Qingruo, who stood by the window with beautiful eyes, turned to Xu Sheng and said, "Xu Sheng, it's time to go, today is the day the secret realm opens!"
She had been waiting in this wretched place for a year, and finally, the time had come!
Xu Sheng glanced at her and quickly pulled out a robe from the Storage Cosmos Bag that he had taken from a Wei Family disciple, rapidly putting it on…
After taking a look at himself, he nodded and said, "Alright! Let's go then!"
Then, under Zhou Qingruo's lead, the two of them rushed towards the location of the secret realm…
But when they arrived at their destination, they suddenly found themselves against a pitch-black expanse, the dense crowd blocking the surrounding space making it impenetrable…
Zhou Qingruo frowned, "So many people."
This was much worse than she had anticipated!
Xu Sheng nodded, whispering, "The secret realm must not have started yet…"
A casual glance revealed that those crowding the area were cultivators from Tianyuan City!
And those closest to the secret realm were naturally the other three families of Tianyuan City, besides the Yan Family!
At the Wei Family's side, a middle-aged man at the forefront stroked his beard, his expression cold as he said, "Today is the day our Tianyuan City's secret realm opens. According to the long-standing rules, it shall be entered by the four mightiest families of Tianyuan City together!"
Then, his tone shifted, "But sadly, a few days ago, the Yan Family met an unfortunate end and was wiped out, so this time the secret realm will be attended by the Wei Family, the Lin Family, and the Xu Family, the three families together!"
Having one less family participating naturally increased the chances of obtaining valuable treasures!
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from Tianyuan City below all spoke with excitement, "Is it finally about to start? I'm so excited I can't stand it!"
"It is said that last time, the Yan Family's disciple brought out a Heavenly-tier Martial Technique from inside!"
"Right, right, and the Lin Family even brought out many Earth-grade Weapons!"
"It's hard to tell which of the three big families will get more good stuff this time!"
