Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

Ten days later, Shen Bai stepped onto the teleportation array to return to Blue Star and, posing as Li Bai, arrived at the Huangshan Secret Realm.

The Huangshan Secret Realm is located deep within a fifth-order spiritual vein called Huangshan in the Xuanyuan Empire. A large city with a population of nearly ten million has already formed around this spiritual vein, and transportation is extremely developed.

This secret realm once appeared in the sword dao inheritance of the Lingyue Secret Realm.

He once transformed into Ye Xian, who went to the Huangshan Secret Realm and eventually died there.

She herself once transformed into Feng Qi and followed the Emperor, who was then the Crown Prince, to the secret realm of Huangshan.

Unfortunately, Feng Qi also died in the Huangshan Secret Realm back then.

Rumor has it that the Great Emperor once obtained the inheritance of a peerless sword immortal in the secret realm of Huangshan, but also suffered hidden injuries there.

He had heard far too much about the secrets of Huangshan, and the Sixth Princess had also given him a lot of information, which made him yearn for the secrets of Huangshan even more.

The hidden gem of Huangshan opens only once every hundred years.

There is no limit to the cultivation level of cultivators who can enter, but they can only enter once in their lifetime.

Therefore, many Nascent Soul cultivators and Body Integration Ancestors have already entered the Huangshan Secret Realm. This time, those who entered the Huangshan Secret Realm are mostly newly promoted Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Golden Core True Persons in the past hundred years. There are not many Foundation Establishment cultivators who can comprehend sword intent, so it would be a waste for them to enter. Therefore, only a very small number of them entered.

Needless to say, cultivators who practice Qi Refining would probably die without even knowing how they died if they entered the Huangshan Secret Realm.

The opportunity was rare, so apart from Shen Wenwen, who was not strong enough to stay at home, all the matriarchs of the Shen family went out to help, and the sixth princess also left Qiyuan Star for the first time.

Thus, this time, everyone naturally discovered that Shen Bai and Li Bai were standing together outside the secret gate of Huangshan.

"Tsk tsk tsk, one is the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the empire's nearly thousand-year history, and the other is a peerless sword cultivator who has recently risen to fame and severely injured a Nascent Soul True Monarch despite being of a higher level. It's too much fun to see these two together."

"It's hard to say who's stronger between the two. They entered the Golden Core stage around the same time. In terms of battle record, Li Bai is definitely better, but it's said that Shen Bai is also very fierce and has slaughtered many people who coveted his Shen family."

"The walls of Qiyuan City are covered with corpses, said to be those of the people who plundered the Shen family. I always thought Shen Bai rose to power through nepotism, but now it seems the rumors are not to be believed."

"So what if Li Bai is powerful? He betrayed our Xuan Yuan Empire. I reckon that once he enters the secret realm, some True Monarch who can't stand it will definitely step in to suppress him."

……

Because this secret realm belongs to the Xuan Yuan Empire, almost everyone who enters it is from the Xuan Yuan Empire each time it opens. However, some people from other countries also gain access to the Huangshan Secret Realm through exchanges of benefits.

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, Li Bai arrogantly looked up at the sky, as if none of the people in front of him could be taken seriously.

Even when people said he had betrayed the Xuan Yuan Empire, he still acted arrogantly, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

Some troublemakers tried to stir up trouble, but they were intimidated by Li Bai's powerful sword intent. Even though there were many Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, they dared not speak out of turn.

This one really dares to destroy a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, Li Bai is now a noble viscount of the Kingdom of Luota, and cannot be easily provoked. Even if one wants to settle scores, one must wait until after entering the secret realm.

Therefore, many people's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but they could only suppress their anger.

……

Shen Bai, standing to the side, had two women on his arms, looking completely immersed in happiness.

He would tease his young wife every now and then, which infuriated everyone watching.

"I thought Li Bai was infuriating enough, but Shen Bai is even more infuriating. All four of his wives are Golden Core stage experts!"

"The Sixth Princess is also at the Golden Core stage. With six Golden Core cultivators in one family, even without the status of a prince consort, the Shen family is not comparable to ordinary families."

"Damn it, I heard that among his wives, besides the sixth princess, there are two school beauties, a genius fifth-level alchemist, and even the weakest one manages four of Shen Bai's listed companies. What kind of good fortune did he accumulate in his past life?"

"I heard that he owns far more than four listed companies; he can now be called the Shen Consortium."

……

The Sixth Princess heard the envious voices of the crowd and happily teased An Li in her arms: "An Li, the school beauty, everyone is looking at us with envy."

"Keep your hands to yourself."

An Li looked at the woman with Li Bai's face in front of her with annoyance. Even though she was the first wife of the Shen family, she was still a bit irritating.

How dare you touch me in public! You wait and see if I dare to bully you together after Shen Bai goes back.

The Sixth Princess looked at Bai Qingqing on the other side with a grin: "Qingqing, An Li, the school beauty, is angry. She doesn't know how to be funny. My school beauty Qingqing is the most fun. Come on, give her a kiss."

Unlike An Li's resistance, Bai Qingqing boldly kissed her in public, making everyone watching extremely envious, even Shen Bai was furious.

"You better behave yourself, or I'll give you a good beating once we're inside the secret realm."

Shen Bai's telepathic communication made the Sixth Princess smile and open her mouth, but it was obvious that a bright thread could be seen.

Amidst the commotion, a voice suddenly rang out: "Brother-in-law, it's been a long time."

The Sixth Princess turned her head and saw the Ninth Prince standing not far away, looking at her with a half-smile.

She gave a polite smile: "So it's the Ninth Prince. It's been a long time."

"Qianyuan City has been developing very well recently. It's amazing that the Ninth Prince was able to find time to visit the Huangshan Secret Realm despite his busy schedule. It seems the Ninth Prince is managing both his cultivation and administration quite well."

The Ninth Prince shook his head and laughed, "Compared to a time management master like my brother-in-law, I'm far inferior."

The sixth princess chuckled: "There's nothing I can do, I just love your older sister."

The Ninth Prince was clearly not talking about that matter, but instead turned his gaze to Li Bai, who was not far away: "Brother-in-law, what do you think of Li Bai? I heard that his swordsmanship talent is in no way inferior to yours."

The Sixth Princess knew that the Ninth Prince must have already suspected that Shen Bai and Li Bai were the same person, so she still chuckled and said, "He didn't provoke me, so what can he think? I'm a hedgehog, not a madman."

The sentence, neither too harsh nor too mild, made the Ninth Prince feel somewhat uncomfortable. Was he calling me a madman?

Are you trying to put on an act for me?

The Ninth Prince snorted, "Now you and he are hailed as the two prodigies of the Xuan Yuan Empire and the Luo Ta Kingdom, which is about the same as the status of my sixth sister and Miss Wan Ka. Everyone is eager to see a wonderful showdown between you two."

"If they want to see it, let them compete themselves. Although I'm a master of time management, I still dedicate all my time to my wife and kids."

The Sixth Princess casually kissed Bai Qingqing again, completely ignoring her advances, which annoyed the Ninth Prince. At this moment, a voice suddenly joined their discussion: "Is the Sixth Prince Consort afraid?"

The sixth princess turned her head and looked at him, her face full of doubt: "Who is this?"

The newcomer's face immediately darkened, but he still introduced himself: "I am Song Xi, the newly appointed Earl of Xishan."

"oh."

The sixth princess nodded and stopped looking at him.

This arrogant demeanor immediately made the other person blush with embarrassment.

The Ninth Prince coughed lightly and introduced, "Song Zhenjun's younger sister is the Eighth Prince's concubine."

"oh."

After hearing this, the sixth princess simply nodded and said nothing more.

He's just the Eighth Prince's brother-in-law, and from the concubine's side at that; he has no right to speak to Shen Bai.

And yet he still dares to provoke Shen Bai.

Shen Bai is the dignified sixth son-in-law, the Marquis of Jiangbei, the head of the Qiyuan Star branch of the Night Fiend Hall, and the head of the Qiyuan Star branch of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Previously, he only managed Qiyuan City, but now the Night Fiend Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall in Qianyuan City are also under Shen Bai's jurisdiction.

Such a position is no exaggeration to call him a high-ranking official on the frontier.

Unlike Song Xi, who rose to power through nepotism, Shen Bai was a man of real power.

In official circles, Song Xi had no right to interrupt.

Among the nobility, Song Xi was merely a younger brother.

Among the imperial relatives, Song Xi was completely out of reach.

If Shen Bai were to pay any attention to him, he would be lowering his own status.

If Shen Bai himself were here, he might exchange a few polite words with him, but the Sixth Princess was well aware of the etiquette among nobles, so she simply arrogantly indicated that she knew.

That's it.

Seeing Shen Bai's attitude, Song Xi was furious: "What? Did I hit the nail on the head? The dignified Sixth Prince Consort doesn't even dare to compete with Li Bai in swordsmanship."

The sixth princess coughed lightly: "Excuse me, I have something to attend to. You two can continue your conversation."

After saying that, the Sixth Princess took An Li and Bai Qingqing and walked towards the distance to enjoy the scenery, with Si Qing and Hu Feier following closely behind.

Also following behind him was Ye Qianqian from the Ye family.

Ye Qianqian glanced back at Song Xi, scoffed, and didn't even bother to provoke him.

Song Xi felt his blood boil; this was the third time he had been ignored.

What right does this gigolo who rose to power through nepotism have to put on airs in front of me?

Song Xi looked around at the people and found that everyone was pretending to look at the scenery and no one was looking at him, but he could still feel a strong sense of contempt being passed between them.

He secretly vowed, "Very well, since you're like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless towards you in the secret realm."

The Ninth Prince stood aside, smiling without saying a word.

He turned his gaze to Li Bai, only to find that the other man still maintained an arrogant demeanor.

He smiled, said nothing more, and turned to look at the scenery of Huangshan.

……

Soon, the secret realm opened.

A voice rang in everyone's ears: "Within the Huangshan Secret Realm, life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. In seven days, the travel tokens on your bodies will guide you back."

Shen Bai felt the pass token at his waist vibrate, and he disappeared from the spot. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on a giant sword that was ten meters tall.

"here it is……"

Shen Bai looked up and saw the giant sword standing on a black earth, and he was standing at the tip of the sword.

Before he could even take a good look around, a sharp sword intent suddenly emanated from the tip of the sword beneath his feet.

Shen Bai sensed it and found that the sword intent was just the most ordinary Gengjin sword intent. He lightly stepped on it, and the Gengjin sword intent in the giant sword was immediately crushed.

Immediately, a sword manual appeared in his mind, and soon it was absorbed by his seventh-tier sword manual, "Sword Wandering in the Void".

too weak.

Shen Bai moved and appeared on another giant sword that was twenty meters tall.

It was the Gengjin sword intent again, but this sword intent was clearly much stronger than the previous Gengjin sword intent.

It's still too weak.

With seventh-tier skills, ordinary sword intent was nothing to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai quickly absorbed the sword intent beneath his feet, then raised his gaze to look at the giant swords around him.

This seems to be my home turf!
