"Xueqing, watch her and don't let her run around." Zhao Kangping gave his disciple another special instruction.

"You're going too far. Why do you care about me? Who do you think you are?" Qi Honglian said dissatisfiedly with her arms crossed over her chest.

Zhao Kangping teased, "After all, you called me husband. I don't want you to mess around anymore. Is that wrong?"

The nonsense he was talking about was gambling.

It's inappropriate for a woman to hang around in such a chaotic place like a casino.

However, his joking words attracted the attention of several women present.

husband?

What is their relationship?

Wang Xiaoyue and Gu Qingyun thought so at the same time.

But then they unfolded differently.

Wang Xiaoyue wondered, could they really be a Taoist couple? Could they be a pair of bickering lovers?

Gu Qingyun was wondering who this little bitch was and why the information didn't mention the relationship between her and her benefactor?

……

They wasted a lot of time and finally arrived late, just before the secret realm was about to begin, at the gathering place for the monks who came to explore the secret realm.

They arrived the latest, so they could only stand at the back.

Zhao Kangping searched for a while and finally fixed his eyes on one person.

Gongsun Shu, the first disciple of Jianya Palace, also participated in the siege of Xue Qing.

There were several people standing behind her. Although they were disguised, Zhao Kangping knew that they were actually the people who faked their deaths in Jianya Palace.

Chapter 434: The Secret of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect

After Zhao Kangping entered the secret realm, he left the Yunyan Pavilion team.

However, in order to create an alibi, Gu Qingyun had already prepared a humanoid puppet and disguised it to look like Zhao Kangping after a change of appearance.

Zhao Kangping himself used an invisibility talisman and secretly followed the team from Jianya Palace.

With the forbidden flying formation, anyone who enters here will not be able to fly in any way unless their cultivation level is higher than his.

However, he was the one who set up the formation, so the formation was naturally ineffective against him.

"Senior Sister, can you tell us what treasures your Gongsun family lost back then?"

Zhao Kangping followed the group of people and heard people talking from a distance.

"I'm not entirely sure about that. I only know that everything inside is priceless, and each one has cost our family a fortune."

"Some of these items were obtained by chance only after our family sacrificed the lives of several outstanding children."

"So if they are not given away as birthday gifts, then they must be taken back by our family."

This was Gongsun Shu's voice, and her tone became firm when she talked about recycling the things.

Zhao Kangping can actually fly in the secret realm. He can quickly cut into their back row and kill them by surprise.

But his spiritual sense sensed that there were other teams within less than five miles.

If he did it, it would be easy for others to find out, which would lead to unnecessary trouble.

So he would rather take action when no one is around them.

Not long after, Gongsun Shu and others entered the maze area.

"What's going on? I feel like we just walked this road. Did we go back in circles?"

"Yes, I have seen this big rock and this tree."

Several people have been trapped in a ghost wall. None of them understands the formation, so it is very likely that they will be trapped and unable to get out.

Zhao Kangping felt that the time was almost right, and there was no one else around...

However, just as he was about to go up and kill these people, an unexpected situation happened.

The other team seemed to be avoiding the pursuit of a group of monsters and ran into the maze, just very close to the team of disciples from Jianya Palace.

Zhao Kangping looked behind the newly arrived group and saw several zombies at the Jindan stage. They were wearing the tattered dark green Taoist robes of the Myriad Beasts Sect, and their faces were hideous and terrifying.

The zombies that Zhao Kangping can kill with a snap of his fingers are quite threatening to the young people who enter the secret realm to explore.

The young monks who were being chased by the zombies screamed and soon attracted the attention of Gongsun Shu and others.

These were some young family members, the tallest of whom was only at the Jindan stage. They were probably greenhouse flowers, giant infants who relied on their family's resources to get to where they are today, without much actual combat experience.

They encountered a large number of zombies, especially those in the Jindan stage, which exposed their incompetence.

When they saw Gongsun Shu and others, they began to shout for help.

Gongsun Shu didn't want to cause trouble, but those people attracted the zombies.

The huge tide of corpses brought with it gusts of cold wind, which looked very intimidating.

But the people from Jianya Palace have all experienced countless battles, and their strength is naturally not comparable to the twenty or so rookies who just arrived.

There are six disciples in Jianya Hall including Gongsun Shu, but among them, including Gongsun Shu, there are two Nascent Souls, and the rest are in the middle or late Golden Core stage.

The tide of zombies soon surrounded the six of them, and they had no choice but to join the battle.

"Damn it, we can't fly here, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble." A male disciple from Jianya Hall complained, and then he took the lead and rushed into the tide of zombies.

Then several other brothers joined in.

Gongsun Shu had no intention of taking action, but even if she didn't, her fellow apprentice brothers would be enough.

With a flash of sword light, the zombies were killed and defeated.

Rotten flesh and broken bones flew everywhere, and the surging tide of corpses fell down in large groups like paper.

They were indeed disciples from the Holy Land, dealing with these zombies was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. Even those few Jindan stage zombies were quickly and efficiently dispatched.

Within thirty breaths, all the pursuing zombies were killed.

The rescued family members immediately expressed their gratitude to these people and flattered them loudly.

"Brothers, may I ask which sects or schools these people are from? We plan to thank you well." The only Jindan stage disciple among the family members said.

Xu Junze's expression was icy. He was currently taking refuge in Xishan City and didn't want to be in the spotlight, so he said coldly, "No need to thank me. Just be careful behind you."

He had no intention of communicating further with the other party and left after saying that.

The Jindan cultivator didn't dare to say much, for fear of causing the other party to be unhappy, so he tactfully stopped talking.

The more than 20 family members were not idle either. They saw that the six people did not clean up the scene after killing the zombies, and it was obvious that they were not interested in the spoils on the zombies.

In fact, they realized that these zombies were also monks in their past lives. They had some magical tools on them, which was also an unexpected gain for them.

Just because Zhao Kangping and the disciples of Jianya Palace look down on these low-level magic weapons, it doesn’t mean that the children of other families look down on them.

As some families grow larger and have more members, it is impossible for them to distribute their resources equally to everyone. Instead, they must concentrate their resources to cultivate the most outstanding children.

Others cannot be said to have been abandoned; they simply received fewer resources and a minimum living allowance. If they wanted more resources, they had to fight for them.

And this time entering this secret realm to explore is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them.

These zombies didn't have many magical weapons, and the few they did have were damaged to varying degrees, but they were still usable. However, after receiving these things, the family members were still overjoyed.

"Third brother, they have gone far away. Should we catch up with them?" A foundation-building cultivator said as he looked at the six people who were going away.

They are all ordinary children from a medium-sized family, and they came here to try their luck.

Those six people were not interested in the treasures on the zombies, but they were interested.

They thought that by following these people, they might be able to get some leftovers.

The man called Third Brother made a quick decision and said, "Follow them."

This third brother is the only Jindan cultivator among them and also their leader.

However, just as they were about to catch up, they saw a flash of light before their eyes and the six monks disappeared.

This scene happened without any warning, and they were all a little panicked.

What happened? Why did those six people disappear inexplicably before their eyes?

"Eh?"

"what's the situation?"

Just as these young monks were surprised, the six people who had disappeared appeared behind them again.

The few exclamations just now were also uttered by some of the six people.

They got stuck in a maze and came back after not going far.

Zhao Kangping was hiding nearby, but he did not take action.

There were too many people, and it was difficult for him to take action.

Although he is not a saint, he still doesn't want to implicate other innocent people for no reason.

How come they just happened to be gathered together on this land of more than 200,000 square kilometers?

As far as he knew, there were only a little over a thousand people entering the secret realm this time. Scattered across such a large area, they shouldn't all be able to gather in one place.

Moreover, this maze just trapped the two teams together, which actually made things worse.

Or we can go to the center of the formation first, change the maze, and separate the two teams.

……

Elsewhere in the secret realm, the Xue family's team had just destroyed a bunch of obsolete combat puppets. Several young men were happily collecting the spoils.

Many components of the puppet can be recycled, and can either be sold for spirit stones, or used by cultivators who practice the art of puppetry.

He Chenghua stood on a rock, looking at the younger generations of the Xue family. He did not participate in the battle. The enemies he encountered so far were all capable of being dealt with by the younger generations. It was not his turn to take action.

At this moment, he felt that his communication jade slip had received a message.

He retreated calmly and walked behind the rock, just out of the sight of the Xue family members.

To his surprise, the person who sent him the message was an unexpected guy.

He described the other person as "beast". This person was also a member of the Dark Tide organization and one of the most senior ones.

Beast: "I heard you were in the secret realm near Xishan City?"

Venerable Huangsha: "Yes, why did you suddenly think of contacting me?"

Beast: "That's great, I want your help with something."

Seeing this, He Chenghua's heart tightened, thinking that it must be something bad.

However, he couldn't refuse the other party's request, because the other party was an experienced senior.

Venerable Huangsha: "Senior, please give your instructions."

Why doesn’t this old guy come over himself?

Beast: "I don't dare to take your orders. That should be the ruins of the Myriad Beast Sect. I came from the Myriad Beast Sect back then, but unfortunately this damn place was trapped in a space crack."

"I managed to escape with great difficulty. Before I left, I left something in there. I had thought about going back to get it myself, so I even left the key."

"But I lost my key in an accident, and this matter has been delayed until now."

"But looking at the current situation, someone must have accidentally obtained the key I lost."

"Now is the perfect time. Please help me get that thing back."

As expected, he was trying to get free labor again. He Chenghua had a bad feeling. Every time this senior entrusted him with a task, it was never a simple matter.

Venerable Huangsha: "Then what exactly is it?"

After he said this, someone from the Xue family called him.

"Third uncle, third uncle~"

"Hey! I'm over here."

He responded hurriedly.

He looked at the screen of the jade slip again, and when he saw the other party's reply, his pupils trembled.
