Ch 686: The Spirit Heart Fruit
Hearing those three words from certain people.
Moon Howling Old Ancestor coldly snorted, only then looking towards the middle-aged man, bowing and saying.
“Since Brother Qin has said so, then this matter will be put aside for now.”
After saying this, Moon Howling Old Ancestor’s gaze, full of killing intent, swept over Li Hanzhou and several others, then turned and left.
While Li Hanzhou looked towards the middle-aged man and said, “Thank you, Senior, for rescuing this junior.”
Through the conversations of those around him, he then learned that the suddenly appearing middle-aged man was named Qin Luotian, and was actually the current Son of Heaven’s Mansion’s Gold Medal Inspector, also a Body Integration Stage Cultivator.
Moreover, among the powers entering the Secret Realm this time, the Son of Heaven’s Mansion also had a share.
Qin Luotian calmly nodded, said nothing, but led his subordinates to find a place to sit down.
Li Hanzhou walked towards Zhao Lianzhen, his tone sincere, saying, “Thank you, Senior, for your help.”
He knew that the reason Zhao Lianzhen spoke up for him was entirely because of Su Nianyi.
But he and Su Nianyi were old friends, but he did not know Zhao Lianzhen, and had no relationship with her.
Logically, Zhao Lianzhen could have simply looked on coldly, yet she still helped him, which deeply moved him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lianzhen merely glanced faintly at Li Hanzhou, then left without a word.
“This kid is really good at causing trouble.”
Right now, she felt a slight ache between her brows. Ji Hongguang’s matter was easy to resolve, but this current matter involved Moon Howling Old Ancestor, something she absolutely could not provoke or contend with.
Being able to do this much was already her limit.
Otherwise, if she had acted recklessly on Li Hanzhou’s behalf, she herself might have been dragged into this whirlpool.
“It’s over, what should we do?”
“Why did we have to provoke Moon Howling Sect, provoke Moon Howling Old Ancestor!”
“If we stay here, and when we enter the Secret Realm, our lives will probably not be spared!”
“……”
Xu Pengyun and the other two remaining in their original place trembled, their faces filled with uncontainable terror.
It was clearly only Li Hanzhou’s actions, yet Moon Howling Old Ancestor intended to deal with them all together.
This was simply unwarranted calamity.
Faced with the hostility from Moon Howling Old Ancestor, they had absolutely no way to resist.
When they enter the Secret Realm later, besides Moon Howling Old Ancestor, there were so many people from Moon Howling Sect here, it would be a luxury to even think of surviving.
Looking at Li Hanzhou’s figure, Xu Pengyun and the other two took a deep breath, exchanged glances, steeled their hearts, and made a decision.
Li Hanzhou had just returned when he saw Xu Pengyun handing him his token.
He looked at the other man and calmly said, “You want to leave?”
Xu Pengyun nodded, then said, “We are truly sorry, your eminence is too great for our humble sect to contain. We will not participate in this Secret Realm this time.”
“Since you’ve already decided, then go.”
Li Hanzhou took the token.
Upon hearing this, Xu Pengyun and the other two bowed to Li Hanzhou, and turned to leave directly.
However, they did not leave directly, but first went to the Moon Howling Sect side, their attitude respectful, their faces filled with fear, saying, “Fellow Seniors, this matter has nothing to do with the three of us; we were completely unaware of this matter.”
“And now Li Hanzhou is no longer a worshipper of our Yuanyang Sect; this junior only begs that you Seniors spare us.”
“……”
The three spoke in extremely humble tones, almost ready to kneel and kowtow to the people of Moon Howling Sect.
Seeing this scene, Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but smile.
“Truly, reality prevails everywhere.”
However, he didn’t mind; as the saying goes, there are no forever friends, only forever benefits.
Xu Pengyun and the others choosing to do this was within his expectations.
A small sect like Yuanyang Sect certainly wouldn’t dare to provoke a colossus like Moon Howling Sect.
On the other hand, facing the humble Xu Pengyun and the others, the Moon Howling Sect cultivators merely glanced at them coldly, without paying them any attention.
Regardless, after Xu Pengyun and the others pleaded for mercy, they turned and left.
This time, they wouldn’t be able to enter the Secret Realm.
And perhaps there would even be danger awaiting them upon their return.
They had to return to their sect as quickly as possible, move house overnight; what’s a Pure Spring Spirit Item compared to their lives?
Li Hanzhou, left alone, found a cloud, sat cross-legged, adjusted his state, and prepared to welcome the soon-to-be-opened Secret Realm.
Two days later.
“Sorry, Fellow Daoists, we encountered a storm formed by Thousand Fiends Soul Entangling along the way. We barely escaped, hence our lateness.”
The last sect’s people arrived carrying their token.
“It’s alright.”
“Finally here; can the Secret Realm be opened smoothly now?”
“……”
The cultivators from various sects who had been waiting here for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes full of anticipation as they looked towards Qin Luotian.
At this time, Qin Luotian, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes, stood up, scanned everyone present, and said, “Since everyone is here, it’s time to open the Secret Realm.”
Then Qin Luotian waved his hand, and all the tokens immediately flew from the bodies of Li Hanzhou and the others who held them, finally converging together and directly sinking into the ancient tree in front of them.
Immediately, the ancient tree trembled, and a radiance of the utmost brilliance suddenly erupted from its thick trunk.
An ancient and vast aura emanated from that radiance.
Seeing this, some cultivators instinctively wanted to repel it.
But at this time, Qin Luotian’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Do not resist.”
Hearing this, everyone gave up their intention to act, finally letting the radiance engulf everyone present.
And at this moment, before everyone’s eyes, after the radiance flickered for a moment.
They suddenly found that they were no longer above the clouds, but in a very dark space.
Within this gray space, countless formation fluctuations appeared before their eyes.
“This is the Ancient Tribulation Formation, the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Formation, the Heavenly Star Annihilation Formation…”
Someone exclaimed, their face full of disbelief.
Upon seeing the formations, the expressions of the rest also became extremely solemn.
They hadn’t expected that as soon as they were engulfed by the radiance, so many formations appeared before their eyes.
There were already so many formations just to open the Secret Realm, so how grand would the Secret Realm itself be?
After a few breaths.
The radiance dissipated.
The scene before everyone’s eyes changed accordingly.
Before everyone could begin to observe their surroundings, someone pointed at a towering tree standing before them in astonishment and said, “This seems to be a Spirit Heart Fruit Tree!”
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“Correct, the fruit on it is undoubtedly Spirit Heart Fruit!”
After seeing the heart-shaped red fruits hanging on the branches of the towering tree, a shock appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Spirit Heart Fruit, such a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, is extremely rare. Because it enhances and nourishes the Divine Soul, each one is incredibly valuable.
But on this Spirit Heart Fruit Tree, there were over a hundred Spirit Heart Fruits.
Just glancing at them made people feel a little dizzy.
“Haha, this Secret Realm is truly a delightful surprise!”
A cultivator immediately reacted, leaped up, directly arrived above the Spirit Heart Fruit Tree, and reached out to pick a Spirit Heart Fruit.
The rest were not to be outdone, and all scrambled to grab them.
