Wild Dogs

Luo Changhe grabbed her and then waved his hand, creating a barrier on the bird's back that blocked the surrounding gale.

"Thank you, Father."

Xiao Baihua spoke sweetly, then glared at Yang Fan, who remained motionless beside her.

"Are you dead? Didn't you see I was almost blown over by the wind? And you just turned around and ran away."

Yang Fan chuckled softly but did not reply.

Luo Changhe shook his head.

"How can you blame him? The bird just flew too fast."

He then patiently comforted Xiao Baihua.

Hearing the words behind her, Xiao Ling, who was in front, felt a surge of unease.

She was afraid that Yang Fan would tell Luo Changhe some things, which would cause trouble.

Yang Fan did indeed have this idea in mind, but he noticed that Xiao Ling had been watching him from the beginning, so he wisely kept quiet.

Xiao Ling coughed lightly.

"Yang Fan, come here, let me see the Heavenly Secret Token you mentioned."

Yang Fan hurriedly went over, respectfully took out the Heavenly Secret Token, and carefully handed it to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling took the token and immediately began to examine it.

At this moment, a bright red arrow appeared on the jade pendant.

She held the token up to the front and quickly pinpointed the exact location.

She controlled the large red bird to fly in the direction the arrow pointed.

After determining the direction, she casually tossed the token back to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Ling snorted coldly.

"This is the Heavenly Secrets Token. The arrow on it points to the current location of the Heavenly Secrets Palace."

Yang Fan was immediately taken aback.

"What, the location of Tianji Palace is still uncertain?"

Luo Changhe came closer.

"Of course it's uncertain, but it's precisely because of this uncertainty that we have a chance."

He put his hands behind his back.

"To tell you the truth, although the Heavenly Mystery Palace appears once every twenty years, its location is never certain."

"Only those who possess the Heavenly Secret Token in advance can sense the specific direction."

"Moreover, the Heavenly Secrets Decree will only be in existence for five days. Once those five days are up, the Heavenly Secrets Palace will disappear."

"Of course, those who go inside are unaffected."

"It is precisely because the location is uncertain that others cannot get in even if they want to."

"Only those who possess the token can pinpoint the exact location and unlock the restrictions of the Heavenly Mystery Palace."

"We just need to get there within five days."

Luo Changhe smiled and looked into the distance. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he had a certain air about him at this moment.

Xiao Ling snorted coldly.

"But don't get cocky just because you have the Heavenly Secret Token."

"I'm telling you, your time inside the Heavenly Mystery Palace is limited."

"After we enter the palace, the Heavenly Secrets Decree will only last for ten days."

"Within ten days, we must break as many restrictions as possible and find as many treasures as possible."

"Only in this way can we reap great rewards."

"Ten days later, the Heavenly Decree will send us all out."

"So once you get there, don't try anything funny, and definitely don't try to test my patience."

"Just because I'm not killing you doesn't mean I don't have other ways to torture you. You'd better watch yourself."

Yang Fan hurriedly nodded obsequiously, knowing full well the man's ruthlessness.

Xiao Baihua came closer again and asked curiously about the Tianji Palace.

Xiao Ling explained the situation in detail, which gave Yang Fan a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

Tianji Palace was once a powerful force, gathering the wealth and treasures of many surrounding forces within its own territory.

At that time, they were powerful, and no one dared to mess with them.

However, the Tianji Palace was arrogant and reckless, venturing into a dangerous place, which resulted in the annihilation of its main fighting force.

From then on, Tianji Palace became a fish to be slaughtered at will.

The remaining people were clever; at the crucial moment, they hid the Heavenly Mystery Palace, making it disappear without a trace.

Since then, no one has seen any disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Palace.

Some people who obtained the Heavenly Secret Token broke in, but found no living disciples inside, only endless loneliness.

Yang Fan originally only knew some of these things, but he learned more through Xiao Ling.

Luo Changhe added a couple of sentences at the right time, and Yang Fan gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Tianji Palace.

However, what Yang Fan was most curious about was not the situation inside the Heavenly Mystery Palace, but its past actions.

At its peak, Tianji Palace ruled over the entire region.

But they were reckless and dared to rush into a dangerous place in an attempt to seize the treasure, resulting in the complete annihilation of their main force.

Yang Fan was very curious about what secrets that forbidden land held that could cause such a powerful force to be wiped out completely.

Yang Fan wasn't the only one who felt this way; Luo Changhe clearly felt the same way.

He sighed repeatedly, wondering what secrets that immortal seed held. The fact that everyone who broke into the massive Heavenly Mystery Palace could be wiped out showed that the immortal seed was no ordinary thing.

Xiao Ling glanced at him and sneered.

"Don't be reckless. You're about to break through to the late stage of Core Formation, and you're very likely to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

"If you risk going into the Immortal Seed to die, don't blame me for not collecting your corpse later."

Luo Changhe gave a dry laugh.

"How could that be? Even if I were the bravest person, I wouldn't dare to enter the Immortal Seed. That place can't even stop the Heavenly Mystery Palace, let alone me."

He turned his gaze to Yang Fan.

"By the way, young friend, do you know anything about the immortal seeds?"

Yang Fan chuckled and shook his head.

"This junior is a rogue cultivator, so naturally I don't know anything about immortal seeds or anything like that."

Luo Changhe nodded.

"That's true. Rogue cultivators really don't know these secrets. Many secrets are only known to those major sects, and they are also recorded in ancient texts."

"Our Hundred Flowers Palace is considered one of the major powers."

Gan Lu suddenly chuckled, and Luo Changhe glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

Xiao Ling shouted sharply.

"Ganlu, if you keep doing this, I'll get rough with you."

Ganlu could only obediently nod and beg for mercy.

Xiao Baihua then pestered Luo Changhe to ask about the Immortal Seed and the Desolate Land.

Luo Changhe scratched his head.

"There are seven forbidden zones in this area, and the closest one to us is the Immortal Seed."

"Back then, the Heavenly Mystery Palace was also audacious enough to try and break into the Immortal Seed."

"It is said that a being from the upper realm was once buried within the Immortal Seed. That being carried treasures from the upper realm, and was naturally extraordinary."

"But the Immortal Seed is so mysterious that even a powerful force like the Heavenly Mystery Palace is helpless against it."

He patted Xiao Baihua's head.

"Alright, you shouldn't worry about these secret realms right now."

"We should be able to reach Tianji Palace in two or three days."

"Let's figure out a way to get in together once we get to the Heavenly Mystery Palace."

Luo Changhe looked ahead with a smile, no one knew what he was thinking.

Yang Fan glanced over and noticed that Luo Changhe seemed to be staring at Xiao Ling as well, but the light in his eyes was a little off.
