At that moment, as the two of them were looking uncertain, a servant quickly entered from outside, holding up a dark token with golden patterns. Zhao Renyi's face darkened upon seeing the urgent token, as it was not to be used unless the family was facing destruction. However, now that the Wang family had been destroyed and the Zhao family was gradually taking over their territory, what major event could be happening at this critical juncture...
"Report! Report to the head of the household, um... this..." The servant looked at Wang Xin in front of the bronze hall, unsure whether to speak.
"Speak, just pretend this is a dead person," Zhao Renyi said nonchalantly.
"Yes. The clan elder received a secret message from the court, and the border warfare needs to be stabilized. After the emperor dispatched the grand general to garrison the rear, he is coming from the west." The servant's words were shocking.
"Hmm!?" Zhao Renyi was shocked. Could it be that the emperor has taken notice of the Wang family's affairs? No, that's not right. The Wang family's influence is not that significant, not worth such a big move. Besides, there are not many people who know about the ancestral land of the Wang family.
Could it be that the incident involving the fictional city lord of Kunyu City occurred?
"Is there any explanation?" Zhao Renyi asked.
"No, just need the head of the household to make the decision," the servant replied.
Zhao Renyi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You may go."
I saw the servant quickly go away, but there was a gleam in Zhao Renyi's eyes.
Turning around and looking at Wang Xin, there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in his expression.
"I never expected that I, the wise ruler, would fall into an assassination plot," Zhao Renyi said out of nowhere.
"What the hell are you pretending to be innocent for? You've wiped out my entire Wang family from top to bottom. You old thief, don't try to deceive me!" Wang Xin angrily cursed.
"Look around you, where are my people?" Zhao Renyi said.
Wang Xin also completed a solid and perfect cultivation. His divine sense discovered the entire secret realm, and found Zhao Renyi alone, with even his usual companion, the first offering of the Zhao family, Xiao Ping, missing.
"Who knows if it's your old dog's scheme? Have you done any less dirty things?" Wang Xin said with a sneer.
Zhao Renyi shook his head, "They didn't listen to my orders, they listened to the orders of the elders. This is a case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut..."
Wang Xin frowned and remained silent.
"Hey, I never expected that my archenemy would be the last one to speak. Fate is truly unpredictable!" Zhao Renyi sighed, then suddenly transmitted a message through a secret channel: "Now, I have a deal that can protect your daughter from being hunted down. Do you... want to hear it?"
...
Kunyu City North, about 150 miles away, a "young man" is trudging along with a dried corpse on his back, occasionally checking the map in his hand as if searching for something.
"Young man" is Wang Tingyu, who seems to have matured somewhat after overcoming the betrayal of the offering, and is now just looking resolutely for the entrance to the secret realm.
The dried corpse on his back is Huangpu Xin, who has lost control of his body. The recent outburst has almost exhausted the strength extracted from Huangpu Xin's body, and now Huangpu Xin has returned to the state he was in before being liberated, directly back to the time when he first inhabited Franklin's body.
At this moment, Huangpu Xin is just like being pressed by a ghost. Although he can hear and see, he can't move or make a sound. The most frustrating thing is that all of his extraordinary abilities strictly come from Franklin's body. Now that he has lost control of his body, he can't even use telepathy to communicate. At least the system is not affected and can be used normally.
Team channel.
Huangpu Xin: Are you alive? If you are, make a sound.
Chenhao: Almost, almost, almost dying. We are currently being chased by a martial artist whose level we don't know. But it seems like he's not good at speed, so he can't catch up with us for now.
Huangpu Xin: Even martial artists who are not good at speed need to be careful. If someone has some treasure, they can easily control you with a snap.
Refutation by Ma Yunyang: Don't worry, don't worry. I, Magneto, can easily run away, right? Besides, there's Chenhao on the side for mental interference, so it's all good.
Huangpu Xin: It's okay.
Zhuge Ning: How about you, senior? Nothing happened, right?
Huangpu Xin: Haha, can even a gathering of spiritual practitioners run into trouble? It's just that some are not very agile.
Chenhao: ... Your lack of agility might be a bit serious, right?
Huangpu Xin: ......
Wang Na: You caused the explosion just now.
Chenhao: The degree of zombie transformation can't withstand that level of energy output, right?
Huangpu Xin: Hey hey~
Chenhao: Hey hey, you big-headed ghost! Have you even tried 100% zombie transformation? There must be a limit to your nonsense!
Ma Yunyang: Where are you? We'll come pick you up.
Huangpu Xin: Hey, are you trying to kill me? You want me to die, don't you?
Chenhao: Indeed, we also have pursuers we can't handle. We can't let the pursuers collaborate... So, how are things on your end?
Huangpu Xin couldn't resist the persuasion of the crowd and downplayed his own ordeal.
Zhuge Ning: Tsk tsk tsk, senior brother is really miserable, it's like taking a novice with a pampered young master to fight an old monster.
Huangpu Xin: No, that martial artist is a little worse than the old monster. It's just that my infection rate is just not holding up...
Chenhao: So you're just going to give up like that?! If you keep doing this, we might not see you again when you go back.
Huangpu Xin: It's okay, I have a plan...
Ma Yunyang: ...? I know you have it, no need to say it out loud.
Huangpu Xin: ...I was just shocked, it seems like this girl has found the place.
What caught my eye was the crystal mine, with torches shining on the colorful crystals, like... um, a disco?
According to the map, the entrance to the secret realm used to be in a valley 200 miles north of the city, but the new entrance should be in an abandoned mine 50 miles from the old entrance. However... this place has been abandoned for at least 50 years, the entrance is buried in mud and overgrown with weeds. It was just Wang Tingyu who blasted through the mud to get in. According to the nature of those merchants and mine owners, how could they leave behind such natural crystals? They would have to exploit the mine completely before they would leave.
Huangpu Xin Describing the scene while raising questions.
Chenhao: Unless these crystals grew after the mine was flooded.
Huangpu Xin: Crystals cannot be grown overnight.
Zhuge Ning: This is the world of cultivating immortals, senior brother. You can't use common sense to figure it out.
Huangpu Xin: Makes sense. So, what kind of catalyst or something similar should be here?
Chenhao: It's possible, at least some substance that triggers a high-energy reaction, maybe it can help you reactivate your body.
Huangpu Xin: I said there's no need to activate, it's about mastering it. The main thing now is how to contact Wang Tingyu, is there any way?
Chenhao: See, I knew you were unreliable. I found a universal yang spirit technique called "Nourishing the Yang Spirit" at the night market.
Huangpu Xin: Oh! Chenhao is still reliable.
Zhuge Ning: Um, senior, isn't this name a bit too straightforward...
Chenhao: You don't understand, that's called returning to simplicity. Besides, it's good to have something to use. It cost fifty taels of gold.
Zhuge Ning: Sigh~ It seems I really need to enter the world of cultivating immortality as soon as possible. It's good to have a strong backer for development...
Chenhao: Why do we need to change the plan?
Huangpu Xin: It's not conflicting. Listen up, everyone. We are currently being targeted by at least The Secret Pavilion, Kunyu City, the Zhao family, Queen Wang, the Li family behind her, and the four forces of the Demon Sect. The only solution now is to... enter the Immortal Sect!
