Chapter 114 Trouble
After the Nascent Soul elder got up from the ground, he was surprised to find that the people around him were looking at him with disapproving eyes.
Everything was strange!
His face flushed red, and the deep voice rang out again.
"What are you looking at!"
"It was merely a momentary lapse on my part!"
"Humph!"
He then snorted coldly and walked towards the void gate again.
The instant I stepped inside!
"Plop~!"
He was sent flying backwards once again.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul stage monster was completely dumbfounded!
Not only him, but everyone present was stunned.
Is there some other explanation for this secret realm?
Just as the Nascent Soul cultivator was stunned, a voice rang out again from the sky.
"Haha, Qin Laogui, if you can't handle it, then get out of the way!"
"Don't block the gate and prevent people from coming in!"
"who is it?!"
"Get down here!" The Nascent Soul cultivator shouted at the sky, his face extremely gloomy.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a middle-aged man fell from the sky.
He stared at him arrogantly and said, "What can you, Qin Fu, do to me now that I've come down?!"
Upon seeing who it was, the Nascent Soul cultivator named Qin Fu's expression changed drastically!
The deep voice trembled slightly: "It's...it's you!"
"The Zhao family, Zhao Changyun!"
"Weren't you investigating that matter in the Ice Valley Abyss of the Frostmoon Empire?!"
"How did I end up here?!"
Zhao Changyun snorted and said, "I received an urgent message from my clan, requesting that I bring men to the nearby Stone Forest City to investigate a matter."
"I just happened to hear that a secret realm had appeared here, so I came to take a look!"
After he finished speaking, several more people descended from the sky and stood behind Zhao Changyun.
Among these people, even the one with the weakest cultivation level is at the late stage of the Life Sea Realm!
"Hi~!"
"It's actually Zhao Changyun from the Zhao family!"
"This is one of the Zhao family's top combatants! How could he be here?!"
"Could those people behind him be members of the Zhao family's secret guards?"
"This is truly terrifying!"
"..."
"This is troublesome!" In the crowd, Lin Que frowned and exchanged a glance with Fairy Cai Li before whispering, "It seems that this group of people must be from the Zhao family."
"He just mentioned Shilin City, so he must be here to find us."
Fairy Cai Li also frowned slightly and asked Lin Que, "What do you think we should do now?"
Perhaps even Fairy Cai Li herself didn't know why she subconsciously asked Lin Que for his opinion.
It seems like there's nothing this guy can't do, and he always brings unexpected surprises.
She herself had actually developed a dependence on such an unreliable brat, as if she were the elder.
That's really strange!
Lin Que glanced at the people in front of the door, then at the people from the Qingyun Sect.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Fairy Caili, "Wait a minute, you can temporarily cancel the disguise and go in. I'll think of another way."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Caili was shocked and worried, saying, "How can this be!"
"You can't take this risk. At worst, you can just not go in."
"Besides, my own appearance..."
Even now, the primary concern for Fairy Cai Li is no longer her own appearance.
Lin Que smiled and said, "It's alright, let them go in first, and then you can go in after you cancel your disguise."
"Anyway, once Peak Master Qiao and the others go inside, the others present won't recognize you."
"But..." Fairy Cai Li hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Lin Que waved his hand firmly and said, "It's okay, trust me!"
Seeing his determination, Fairy Cai Li had no choice but to say, "Alright then, let's go in first."
"But you have to promise me that if you can't get in, you won't force yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que nodded and said, "I will, and besides, I value my life very much."
No wonder!
That's really ruthless. Lin Que even deceived himself with those words, considering he's already courted death several times before.
If it weren't for good luck, we would have been finished!
However, none of these fairies knew this; Lin Que was only saying these things to coax them.
The two then looked towards the void gate and were surprised to find that Zhao Changyun had stretched out a hand into the void gate and closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something.
"What are you trying to do?" Qin Fu looked at Zhao Changyun with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Changyun ignored Qin Fu's words.
After a while...
Zhao Changyun slowly opened his eyes and said to Qin Fu, "You are truly incredibly stupid."
"Being stupid once is enough, but you have to be stupid a second time."
"Zhao Changyun! What do you mean by this!" Qin Fu roared.
Zhao Changyun said with a disdainful look, "Can't you go and experience it for yourself?"
"I was rejected by the secret realm the first time I tried to enter."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fu's expression shifted, and then he seemed to realize something.
He quickly followed Zhao Changyun's example and reached out to feel it.
Only the next moment!
After Qin Fu withdrew his hand, he shouted, "Damn it!"
"This secret realm actually has restrictions; only those below the Nascent Soul stage can enter!"
"Hmph! You know it." Zhao Changyun crossed his arms and then said to the people behind him, "You all go into the secret realm first. I will stay here and see if the two people the clan mentioned are there."
"As ordered!"
After the group behind Zhao Changyun bowed respectfully to him, they walked into the void gate.
It was observed that those individuals were not rejected after entering the void gate.
Suddenly!
The surrounding crowd immediately started talking...
"It seems Zhao Changyun was right, there really are limitations."
"However, I'm not sure if we can enter, given that the Zhao family is here..."
“That’s true. If Zhao Changyun doesn’t want us to go in, there’s nothing we can do.”
"..."
Everyone was filled with worry, for the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was the greatest threat in this place.
As if he had heard the surrounding crowd's discussion, Zhao Changyun immediately shouted to the entire audience, "Don't worry, everyone!"
"We will absolutely not prevent you from entering the secret realm, after all, such opportunities are for those who are destined to receive them."
"However, I have one requirement: everyone who enters the secret realm must be inspected by me."
"Entry is permitted only after the inspection confirms there are no issues."
"Furthermore, I would never accuse any of you indiscriminately. It's just that some things have happened in the clan recently, and there are two people who need to be apprehended."
"I suspect that two of them have infiltrated your ranks, but I know perfectly well which two they are!"
"So if you all have no problems, there is no need to worry."
Unfortunately, although Zhao Changyun wanted his people to monopolize the secret realm's opportunities, there were simply too many cultivators present.
The Zhao family is one of the eight great families, so they have to consider their reputation.
If this gets out, it will be a huge blow to the Zhao family's reputation.
Therefore, he cannot do that.
"I see, I understand now."
"Yes, yes, yes, since it is the Zhao family that wants to capture their own enemy, then it is understandable."
"That's right, Senior Zhao, we can understand."
"..."
After hearing Zhao Changyun's words, everyone flattered him and said nice things to him.
That's just how the cultivation world is.
In a world where strength reigns supreme, this is the only way to survive if you are not strong enough.
To undergo a humiliating examination by others.
However, these methods are ineffective against top-tier sects and above, such as the following...
"Wang family, Wang Ming."
"On behalf of the Wang family disciples, we pay our respects to Senior Zhao."
A group of people stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Zhao Changyun.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Changyun laughed and said, "So you're from the Wang family. In that case, please go in."
Wang Ming smiled and said, "Then I thank Senior Zhao."
After saying that, he led the group behind him toward the Void Gate.
This group of people is the Wang family, one of the eight great families.
Zhao Changyun didn't even bother to investigate them before letting them pass.
Seeing this, the crowd could only harbor some resentment in their hearts, after all, the other party's power was undeniable.
What can they say?
Next, everyone present underwent Zhao Changyun's examination one after another, and after the examination showed no problems, they all went inside.
quickly!
Then it was the turn of the Qingyun Sect...
