After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He didn't turn around or say anything, but quickened his pace and walked forward on his own.

Lin Fengmian watched his slightly flustered back, chuckled softly, and didn't chase after him.

interesting.

really interesting.

The group had just disembarked from the flying boat.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar of wind and thunder echoed through the sky!

Everyone looked up.

The once clear sky was now filled with swirling dark clouds and rumbling thunder, as if some enormous creature was approaching from afar.

The next moment, nine figures appeared on the horizon.

Those were nine demonic beasts covered in blue scales, resembling warhorses.

Yet it was several times larger than an ordinary horse, its four hooves barely touching the ground as it galloped forward.

With each step, a visible shockwave exploded in the void!

Behind the monster, a huge, entirely black chariot was being pulled.

A large flag was hung above the carriage, embroidered with a strange beast roaring to the sky.

"It's the Spirit Beast Sect!"

"One of the three great sects of the Zhao state!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Hahaha! Master Yunhe! This humble one greets you!"

A hearty laugh came from the back of the nine demonic beasts.

On the back of the leading demonic beast sat a middle-aged man draped in a tiger-skin cloak.

With a rugged face and a powerful aura, he was clearly a Core Formation cultivator!

"So it's True Man Xuanhu." True Man Yunhe returned the greeting with a polite smile.

As the two exchanged pleasantries, a clear and melodious long howl echoed from the horizon.

A dazzling blue light streaked across the distance and arrived in an instant.

The light faded, revealing a flying disc carved entirely of jade.

The boat was long and slender, with flowing spiritual energy, making it even more magnificent than the flying boats of the Hehuan Sect.

On the flying boat, a large flag fluttered in the wind, bearing the two characters "Tianxuan".

The people from the Xuan Tian Holy Land have arrived.

The person leading the group was an elderly man with white hair.

His face was thin and his eyes were sharp. He exuded an aura of power on par with that of True Man Yunhe and True Man Xuanhu.

He glanced at Master Yunhe, then merely snorted coldly, showing no intention of greeting him.

Master Yunhe was not annoyed, but simply smiled faintly.

The people from the three major sects have all arrived.

"Gentlemen, it's almost time."

Master Yunhe looked at the two people and spoke.

"Let's open the secret realm then."

Master Xuanhu and the elder from Xuantian Holy Land nodded to each other.

Each of the three took out an ancient-looking jade tube from their bosom and tossed it into the air at the same time.

Three jade tubes hung in the air, slowly rotating.

The three of them simultaneously made hand seals, and three beams of spiritual light of different colors shot out from their fingertips and entered the three jade tubes.

"boom--"

The jade tube suddenly shone brightly!

Three beams of light shot into the sky, intertwining and entwining in mid-air.

Finally, they converged into an extremely dazzling beam of light, shooting straight towards the mountain range in front of them!

The mountain range trembled violently!

The earth is shaking!

Amidst the deafening roar, a massive hole of light slowly opened up in the void!

The cave of light was about ten zhang high and five zhang wide, with a faint spiritual light shimmering around its edges.

The mist inside the door was thick and obscured, but one could vaguely sense a profound and rich spiritual energy emanating from within.

The secret realm has opened.

"Everyone," Master Yunhe turned to face everyone below, his voice authoritative.

"Let me repeat the rules—this secret realm will be open for one month. You may freely harvest the rare and precious materials within, but you must not damage their roots! Violators will be executed without mercy!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and continued:

"Furthermore, half of the obtained treasures must be handed over to the three major sects! Do you understand?"

"Listen carefully!"

The crowd below responded in unison, their voices deafening.

After listening, Lin Fengmian finally understood why the three major sects allowed members of their families to enter the secret realm.

It turns out they were made to work as free labor, going in to collect herbs, and then getting half of the harvest back.

They really know how to use their abacus effectively.

But it didn't matter to him.

He has a jade pendant space where he can hide valuable items; who would know if he did?

"Alright! Let's go now!"

Master Yunhe gave the order.

The disciples of the three major sects took the lead, transforming into streaks of light and rushing towards the portal.

The scions of various families followed suit, and for a moment, the sky was filled with flowing light, a truly magnificent sight.

Lin Fengmian wasn't in a hurry. He waited until most of the people in front had walked before slowly and deliberately walking towards the door.

Stepping in—

In an instant, the world spun around!

An invisible force swept him away, pulling him abruptly into endless darkness!

Lin Fengmian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, the wind whistling in his ears, and his body spinning and tumbling involuntarily, completely out of control.

What alarmed him even more was—

The spiritual energy within his body seemed to be suppressed by something invisible, causing its circulation to become extremely slow!

His divine sense was also sealed within his sea of ​​consciousness, unable to extend even a fraction of its length outside his body!

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know how much time passed—

"Bang!"

Lin Fengmian crashed heavily to the ground, creating a shallow crater.

He grimaced as he got up, brushed the dirt off his body, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.

His gaze swept around.

This is a small world.

The sky was overcast, devoid of sun and moon, yet it possessed its own light.

The surrounding area was a sparse woodland, with short trees that grew in strange shapes and whose branches and leaves shimmered with a faint spiritual light.

With a thought, Lin Fengmian suppressed the feeling of being sealed and carefully extended his spiritual sense out of his body.

He took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy quietly circulated to its peak.

next moment--

"Nine Transformations of Illusion!"

He vanished from the spot in a flash!

Almost at the same moment—

"call--"

A fiery bird swept past where he had just stood and crashed heavily to the ground!

"Bang!"

A burst of fire erupted, sending debris flying! A massive crater, at least ten feet deep, was blasted into the ground!

Lin Fengmian appeared under a tree five zhang away, his gaze coldly fixed on the direction from which the firebird had flown.

There, a person was standing.

Dressed in the robes of a disciple of the Xuan Tian Holy Land, with an ordinary face, he was looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Hey, not bad luck, you dodged it." The disciple grinned.

"Hand over your storage bag, or you'll die."

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura exploded!

Qi Refining Level 12!

Moreover, the density of that spiritual energy was clearly sufficient for Foundation Establishment.

However, he has yet to make a breakthrough, clearly indicating that he intends to make a fortune in this secret realm.

He made a hand seal, and another firebird materialized, its flames surging and its heat intense.

"This time, I'm here to slaughter everyone! Hahaha!"

He laughed loudly, extremely arrogant.

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

Damn it, how can there be someone even more arrogant than me?

He didn't bother with words and directly made a hand seal.

"Sword, come!"

From within his dantian, a stream of crimson-gold light shot into the sky!

The Little Heavenly Gang Sword hovered above his head, its blade humming, its crimson-gold light flowing endlessly, and a fierce and unparalleled sword intent suddenly erupted!
