The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What the hell! It's out already!"

Coming to his senses, Dugu Feiying was furious.

After expending so much effort and taking such great risks, finally reaching the end, nothing happened, and I was inexplicably kicked out of the secret realm!

They were currently in an open area below the entrance to Secret Realm D137.

It was nighttime, but many people were waiting around. When they saw them come out, they couldn't help but gather around.

Apart from the garrison troops, most of them were martial artists!

Although they left the secret realm early, they all wanted to know who was the one who persevered to the end and reached the deepest part of the secret realm, and most importantly, what they gained!

Although no one witnessed it firsthand, and there was no news of it, everyone believed that there must be a great treasure hidden in the deepest part of the secret realm!

Seeing the crowd gathering around, Meng Xuanwu and his men's expressions instantly darkened. They knew exactly what these people wanted to know.

"Alas! In the end, it was all for naught. Under the starry sky, there was nothing but a face."

After a moment of silence, Su Jingyuan suddenly sighed and spoke.

Upon hearing his words, everyone around him paused.

Under the starry sky, a face—what is that?

But judging from Su Jingyuan's words, it seems he didn't obtain any treasures.

"I've never felt so pathetic, unable to even move!"

Dugu Feiying also spoke up, still looking annoyed.

"Who can argue with that? In the end, it just inexplicably came out."

Someone spoke again, and everyone turned to look. It was Lu Yuan who sat up from the ground.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Meng Xuanwu and the other three frowned slightly.

The people around wanted to know what the final outcome would be; in fact, they wanted to know too!

Lu Yuan was the first to enter the portal; in fact, he was the one who opened it. If there really is something inside, Lu Yuan might get it in the end!

Moreover, although they were kicked out of the secret realm at the same time, only Lu Yuan landed face down.

Although it was somewhat unexpected at the time, given Lu Yuan's strength, he shouldn't have been unable to react in time; rather, it seemed as if he had suffered something.

But looking at him now, Lu Yuan seemed perfectly normal.

And he just spoke up to "prove" himself.

Su Jingyuan was a man of deep thoughts; how could he possibly speak up and tell others what had just happened without a reason?

He said this to confirm it with others!

Everyone's saying that if someone's information doesn't match up with anyone else's, it's very likely that they've obtained a treasure!

It's like the game "Who's the Spy".

Clearly, Lu Yuan understood this as well, so he shared the information, and it matched up with what they all said.

Could it be that there's nothing special about Lu Yuan's side?

As for the issue of landing face-first, it was purely due to carelessness.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Xuanwu and Xiao Buyun also spoke up, each providing a piece of information, which naturally matched up.

"so……"

Lu Yuan sat there, head slightly lowered, a soft chuckle escaping his lips.

At the end of the secret realm, he lost consciousness. But after being vomited up, he quickly woke up.

So, although it was quite unsightly to fall face down, he was able to sit up in time, and no one noticed that he had been unconscious.

However, the remaining people were indeed all shrewd, and Su Jingyuan even started playing the "Who is the Spy" game.

Lu Yuan reacted quickly and did not reveal any flaws.

After all, judging from the current situation, everyone should have been forcibly kicked out of the secret realm.

At the same time, through information from the other four people, Lu Yuan also gained a general understanding of their situations.

It should be similar to his environment, except that they did not suffer that kind of oppressive torment, and the giant face they faced had its eyes closed!

"With eyes closed..."

Lu Yuan pondered to himself. He seemed to remember that when he first entered, he also closed his eyes when facing that giant face.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, a terrifying pressure swept over him.

Is this the key...?

The reason why everyone else still has their eyes closed is perhaps because they are queuing.

After Lu Yuan finishes his test, then we'll test them.

That terrifying pressure and torment must have been a test.

Dugu Feiying and the others were not put through any further tests and were directly rejected, which means that Lu Yuan passed!

"Could it be...?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Deep within my spiritual world, an additional mark has been left.

This brand was his final reward.

But what exactly is this brand?

Lu Yuan tried to probe with his mental power, but it was completely inaccessible, and the mark did not react at all.

It's like a mole growing on your skin; if you don't pay attention to it, you won't even realize it exists.

But the key question is, who knows if this mole will become cancerous?

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly again. His final experience was truly bizarre, and the outcome was unpredictable.

I'm tired.

The "undercover game" is over, and nothing was discovered.

This was actually expected, since these last few people were all too shrewd. Even if someone benefited, they wouldn't easily reveal their involvement.

Xiao Buyun said something and then turned and left.

The others remained silent and left.

Su Jingyuan did this just to give it a try, thinking that since everyone had just come out, he could catch them off guard and if it didn't work, so be it.

There's no need for another round.

After all, based on the information the five people had just shared, the "undercover agent" should have been able to deduce everyone's situation.

Lu Yuan stood up and followed him away.

It seems we've managed to get through this for now.

A gentleman is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. If Meng Xuanwu and his group find out that he ultimately gained "benefits"—let's just consider it a benefit for now—they will definitely come after him.

Being entangled with these people is not a good thing.

Of course, even so, Meng Xuanwu and the others would probably be extremely suspicious of Lu Yuan, after all, he was the first person to enter.

In fact, it wasn't just Meng Xuanwu and his three companions; the other martial artists around them were also filled with suspicion and deep-seated covetousness in their eyes!

However, since they didn't know the final outcome, they wouldn't list Lu Yuan as their primary target. Instead, like Meng Xuanwu and the others, all five of them would become targets.

"snort."

Lu Yuan snorted lightly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

He was somewhat wary of Meng Xuanwu and his three companions, but as for these people, they were a bunch of worthless scoundrels.

If they dare to cause trouble, I wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

Having exited the secret realm, we should now return to the base city. However, it is nighttime, and traveling in the wilderness is not advisable.

Fortunately, there are quite a few empty rooms at the garrison, so the martial artists who come out can stay there until tomorrow morning.

Like most people, Lu Yuan did not leave immediately, but stayed overnight to rest.

Knock knock~!

Late at night, Lu Yuan was organizing the vast resources in his spatial ring when a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

He couldn't help but frown. Could trouble be coming so soon?

Then he got up and opened the door.

"Who are you?"

What surprised Lu Yuan was not the martial artist, but the military officer.

Judging by his rank, he's a general!
