Chapter 304: Chapter 240 Necro Realm Opens!_2

And because of the life force drained by the Aging Curse, replenishing it would require using life potions that increase life force or hiring wooden profession practitioners of at least Third Order, using the Life Praise skill to slowly restore it.

For the Chen family’s more than four hundred people, just the cost of healing them all wouldn’t be less than 1 billion Dragon Coins.

The main issue is, with such a large number of people, getting so many potions and the like all at once is not so easy.

If they were to hire someone for help, the debt of gratitude incurred would be substantial; they couldn’t avoid bleeding quite a bit in return.

They hadn’t been completely wiped out, after all, there were other outsiders present, so they couldn’t just take the Fan Family down with them.

“Cough cough, yes, thank you for your grace in sparing our lives!”

The leader of the Chen family, with a face ashen as if already dead, hunched over and expressed his gratitude before gesturing for his people to support each other, shuffling towards the edge of the encircling barrier.

They didn’t dare linger, considering it a stroke of immense fortune that they could escape with their lives.

In the face of power, those who didn’t wish to die had no choice but to humbly submit and accept the punishment.

“Thank you, noble one, for your leniency. The Smoke Cloud Mercenary Corps will retreat immediately and will not disclose any information about what transpired here!”

The leader of the mercenary corps jerked to attention, facing the dragon’s might, and spoke with a face full of eagerness to please.

Seeing that the Black Dragon King made no move and the dragon’s rider did not attend to them, the leader immediately began to lead his subordinates in a slow retreat.

Especially when he saw that the surrounding Spectral Dragons did not block their path, he breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take his corps as far away as possible.

Whatever damned Necro Realm it was, let whoever wanted to go, go!

As for them, the Smoke Cloud Mercenary Corps wouldn’t get involved anymore. No amount of potential gains could convince them to court death!

The Fan Family’s ranks were similarly disordered, but seeing that their Family Head and several elders showed no signs of retreating, they dared not leave on their own, even though fear gripped their hearts.

However, among the Fan Family’s ranks, there were some who had seen Fan Yuer and had some understanding of her identity.

So even though they were frightened and scared, they also harbored a certain hope in their hearts.

After the Chen family and the Smoke Cloud Mercenary Corps had left, Fan Hengcheng was pushed to the forefront by the Family Head and elders of the Fan Family, signaling him to make contact with Zi Liyuan.

Indeed, out of the entire Fan Family group, it was Fan Hengcheng who had never felt fear from the beginning to the end.

Of course, he had been shocked, for the Spectral Dragon’s Aging Curse was genuinely horrifying to witness.

After all, this guy was the father of the four Fan Yuer sisters, and as Zi Liyuan was their son-in-law, he surely wouldn’t want to kill off his father-in-law for no reason, right?

“Li Yuan, long time no see, congratulations on your substantial improvement in strength in such a short time.

Yuer, have you been doing well in Shenglong State?

Your mother Ayuan misses you four sisters a lot.”

Fan Hengcheng’s face bore a smile, offering congratulations while attempting to bridge a closer relationship with his daughter.

“Father, you should take the people of the Fan Family and leave. This Necro Realm is not something the Fan Family can get involved in. Entering rashly, there’s a very high chance all could die inside.”

This expedition into the Secret Realm could likely lead to unexpected events.

Although she felt no particular affection for the Fan Family, seeing them march to their deaths would still trouble Fan Yuer’s conscience.

Plus, with Zi Liyuan signaling her to negotiate, she naturally wanted to persuade the people of the Fan Family to retreat.

“I see, thank you, my wise niece, for informing us. I will lead the Fan Family away immediately.”

The Family Head of the Fan Family took over the conversation without regard for the embarrassed Fan Hengcheng, speaking very astutely.

However, this Family Head’s glance continuously observed Zi Liyuan’s expression, and seeing no reaction, he understood the implications.

Therefore, he didn’t waste any more words on pointless chatter or trying to strengthen ties but instead directed his people to leave the place.

“I thought Yuer might have them follow behind us, working to clean the battlefield, picking up some scraps.”

As he watched the Fan Family leave, Zi Liyuan held his beloved in his arms, resting his chin gently on her collarbone and spoke softly.

“Out of sight, out of mind, better to send them away quickly to prevent any improper thoughts from arising.”

It was better for her husband’s extraordinary luck to remain as concealed as possible from others.

“`

“I don’t mind, as long as you’re happy. Now that we’ve cleared out everyone from here, let’s camp by the lake and have some leisure time to relax and enjoy ourselves.”

“`

Lord Zi cradled Fan Yuer gently and leaped down from the dragon’s back with her in his arms.

Just when the two of them jumped off the dragon’s back, Daris transformed back into a ravishing human form amidst a surge of immense dark energy, boldly grasping onto Lord Zi’s arm.

Two enormous ‘basketballs’ were deliberately pressed against Lord Zi.

“Ptui! Lewd dragon!”

Fan Yuer muttered under her breath disdainfully but clung to Lord Zi’s other arm without showing weakness, even more so, draping herself over his body.

While enjoying the attention, Lord Zi took out various camping supplies from his Spatial Backpack.

Within minutes, a large tent had appeared by the lakeside.

Thus, for the next few days, they entered a rare period of relaxation.

Every day was spent fishing, reading, keeping company, and riding dragons—extremely comfortable and pleasing.

As for those intrusive visitors who had entered this place, they hadn’t even breached the Spectral Dragon’s perimeter alert line and had wisely retreated.

One or two Spectral Dragons might have given the teams that wandered into this area some ideas.

But when they discovered that dozens to hundreds of Spectral Dragons were present here, no fool would come looking to be fodder.

Nevertheless, those who had come here reported the frequent sightings of Spectral Dragons.

The military and official forces, having already received the message from above, simply suppressed the news.

However, they still dispatched a team as required.

This was a small team of twelve from White Crane Academy, all of Fourth Order Level 100 status.

Yet this team was not ordered to enter the Necro Realm. Instead, in collaboration with Zi Liyuan, they were stationed outside the Secret Realm on alert.

If any suspicious individuals appeared, they were to be captured on sight, dead or alive, and if impossible, they were to issue a warning immediately!

Unbeknownst to Zi Liyuan, after just waiting for five days, the desolate land by the lake began to change.

Space twisted, the heavens and earth cracked like a shattered mirror, and then, a giant space portal abruptly materialized in the center of the wasteland.

With the appearance of the portal, a dense Power of Death seeped through, quickly enveloping an area with a radius of fifty meters.

In the place touched by the Power of Death, all life perished, and every living organism was stripped of life.

“Such a dense aura of death—decay, aging, and demise—it truly lives up to the name of the Necro Realm.”

Feeling the immense Power of Death emanating from within the realm, Zi Liyuan’s spirit trembled, a natural instinct to the danger he sensed.

Feeling the breath of death, Zi Liyuan immediately took out his Magic Wand, and a massive summoning array formed before him in an instant.

Lao Tie, Old Turtle, Spider Queen, Human-Faced Demon Spider, epic monstrous bosses…

With an entire host of undead bosses assembled, Lord Zi waved his hand, directing the undead army towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

“Since the Necro Realm has opened, let’s storm in and shatter it!”

Only he would dare to use a bunch of powerful summons for scouting.

Following right beside him, Fan Yuer rolled her eyes attractively and stepped into the portal alongside Daris, one to his left, one to his right.

Space reversed in the blink of an eye, and they were transported to a desolate and pitch-black land.

“Such a thick essence of death, the entire earth reeks of rot.”

A stench of decay instantly filled their nostrils, making one feel the urge to vomit.

“This is Death Valley. When we first came in, it was here that we must quickly leave because once the smell of living creatures is detected, all the skeletal corpses buried throughout the valley will revive.”

What happens after revival goes without saying; they all knew.

It would be a chaos of countless undead seeking to tear them apart and consume them alive.
