"What did you say?"
"Is this grand array trying to refine us?"
Everyone exchanged glances, puzzled.
Thinking carefully, something indeed seemed amiss.
This Secret Realm was opened three hundred years ago too, and it was just a barren wasteland then, without such bizarre occurrences. Yet, this time, problems emerged as soon as they entered...
They initially thought all this was part of the No Desire Buddha’s plan, but even after he perished, the strange changes in the world did not cease and became increasingly intense instead.
Could it be that the Ancient Emperor was merely a pawn, and there is someone else behind the scenes?
Chu Yanli swiftly stepped forward, her voice urgent, "The specific situation is too complicated to explain briefly. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave at all!"
At this moment, Chen Mo spoke, "It’s too late; we can’t leave anymore."
Before him hung the Mystic Fire Treasure Mirror, with Primordial Qi being infused into it, yet its surface remained blank.
"I cannot find the location of the World Gate. Perhaps it’s being concealed by some force, or maybe it’s forcibly closed."
"What?!"
Zhu Huai and the others turned pale, instantly realizing the gravity of the situation.
This Secret Realm and Jiu Zhou are two separate worlds, separated by boundless chaotic void. Once the World Gate closes, the bridge between worlds is severed, and they cannot determine Jiu Zhou’s location, leaving everyone trapped to die here!
Who knows when it will open next time?
Three hundred years?
Five hundred years?
By then, they might have long turned to dust!
Chu Yanli gritted her silver teeth, her eyes flashing fiercely, "I expected he wouldn’t let go easily, but I didn’t think he’d go this far, leaving no escape route at all. Truly ruthless!"
"Who is the ’he’ you’re referring to?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
Chu Yanli remained silent and pointed upwards.
Chen Mo’s expression became solemn, as if he had guessed something, and he said gravely, "No wonder you sneaked in, always hiding and refusing to reveal your identity. You knew this situation would occur?"
"I didn’t know what would happen, only that this time the Secret Realm’s opening is especially important to him."
Chu Yanli shook her head and replied, "So I used the Sikong family’s name to hide my identity, waiting until the critical moment to reveal myself just to find out his purpose. I never thought he had calculated me in his plans from the start."
Chen Mo was silent for a moment before speaking, "You just said he aims to refine us, but the real target is only me, right?"
At this point, if he still couldn’t see the trap, then he was truly a fool.
All along, his path seemed too smooth. In just half a year, he rose from a General of the Sky Scale Guard to a position of a household’s head, with his cultivation soaring too, becoming the youngest Grandmaster in the history of Great Yuan.
Chen Mo attributed it to "fortune," but is that really the case?
