Chapter 582: Chapter 579: Picking the Fruits_1
However, Yang Chen had no interest in forming alliances with others. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but most of these people had average strength. The strongest of the main city forces only had a leader who was at the Yuanwu Realm Fourth Layer, and this level of strength wouldn’t be of any help to him. It would already be nice if they didn’t drag him down.
With this being the case, he might as well go it alone.
Looking around, Yang Chen noticed that, besides himself, there was another person who was alone.
This person was none other than Qingyin, the Qinglian Saintess.
The Green Lotus Sect surprisingly didn’t send a second person. It was unusual for such a large force to have their Saintess come alone, showing the absolute confidence the Green Lotus Sect had in their Saintess. Yang Chen thought this confidence was not unfounded, for at least he didn’t think he had the ability to instantly kill Huo Ming in a second!
Qingyin’s martial arts cultivation was still a mystery.
“This Iron Hawk Secret Realm trip is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and countless masters. If only I had enough time to enter the fourth level of the Yuanwu Realm and then refine those materials to temper my Tai Chu Divine Body, but unfortunately, there isn’t enough time for that. I wonder if there will be such an opportunity in the Iron Hawk Secret Realm.” Yang Chen wondered to himself.
He didn’t care much about the Iron Eagle Fruits and just wanted to collect enough to preserve Beishan Main City’s dignity, not thinking about trying too hard.
As he was thinking…
“Fairy Qingyin, would you be interested in joining up?”
“Saintess Fairy…”
Many people wanted to form an alliance with the Qinglian Saintess, but the Qinglian Saintess was much colder than Yang Chen. At least Yang Chen responded politely, but the Qinglian Saintess didn’t even pay attention to them.
This caused Yang Chen to laugh bitterly, but he didn’t mind too much. The Qinglian Saintess had the qualifications for her attitude, showing such a strong talent and strength at an age that seemed to be under thirty. She had every right to be proud.
In addition to the Qinglian Saintess, there were also some people who caught Yang Chen’s attention.
Naturally, these people were from the Black Dragon Sect.
Unlike Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei could not represent the Black Dragon Sect in this feast competition because he was only a second-rate talent of the sect. He could at most represent the sect in a knockout competition, but in this Iron Hawk Secret Realm trip, the main five players were the most terrifying geniuses of the Black Dragon Sect.
Yang Chen carefully observed these five geniuses. Their strength was hidden, and even when he asked Yun Lu to observe them, she couldn’t detect their martial arts cultivation.
“Young Master, there are treasures on these five geniuses that protect them, so it’s difficult to investigate their cultivation. If we force our way in, I’m afraid they’ll notice my existence.” Yun Lu gently exhaled and explained.
Yang Chen nodded his head and didn’t push Yun Lu anymore.
He stared intently at the surroundings. In addition to the Black Dragon Sect members and the Qinglian Saintess, there were also talents from Zhenwu Main City and Heiyun Main City, which seemed difficult to deal with. They all seemed to have decent cultivation levels.
Just like that, after about half an hour, the group arrived at the entrance of the Iron Hawk Secret Realm.
The secret realm was filled with numerous array and restriction techniques to stabilize the entrance, ensuring there were no accidents.
Lady Silver Bell stood in front and said with a kind smile, “Everyone, the entrance to the Iron Hawk Secret Realm is here. The instructions given by Master Fu earlier should be clear. The most important thing is that the secret realm will only be open for thirty days. This entrance will be open for thirty days, and I hope everyone can come out on time. Otherwise, if you cannot come out, our Black Dragon Sect won’t open the secret realm for individuals.”
The rules had been repeated several times by their elders, so these young people naturally took it to heart. After Lady Silver Bell finished speaking, they all rushed towards the secret realm.
In the blink of an eye, the outside world was completely empty.
Just after entering the secret realm, the group of talents dispersed quickly, and Yang Chen did the same.
“Young Master, there’s an Iron Eagle Tree one hundred zhang away!” Yun Lu shouted.
Yang Chen immediately found the location and stopped.
“It’s just as Elder Mo Wu described, it’s indeed an Iron Eagle Tree, and these are Iron Eagle Fruits on it. There are seven of them. Not bad, it’s quite a harvest for just entering the secret realm!” Yang Chen exclaimed as he put the Iron Eagle Fruits into his bag.
In essence, the Iron Eagle Fruit wasn’t much of a treasure and had no significant benefits to one’s cultivation. Its unique use was to refresh the mind when used to make tea, so everyone didn’t take it too seriously. They treated the Iron Eagle Fruit as a measure of their results after coming out of the secret realm.
“Hmm? Someone’s there.” Yang Chen looked up and saw four people descending from the sky.
“Oh? Judging by their clothes, they’re talents from Luoyun Main City!” Yang Chen said, with his hands behind his back.
Upon landing, the four talents from Luoyun Main City saw Yang Chen standing in front of the Iron Eagle Tree, and their expressions changed slightly.
“Just now, my soul didn’t detect anyone in front of this Iron Eagle Tree. Senior brother, what should we do…”
“Go.” The leading senior brother from Luoyun Main City didn’t say another word and ordered: “Don’t provoke him!”
He had been told by his elders that their strongest member in Luoyun Main City was himself, with only a third layer Yuanwu Realm cultivation, nowhere near capable of contending with Yang Chen. Naturally, they wouldn’t dream of getting the Iron Eagle Fruits and would let Yang Chen have them.
Yang Chen saw that the group from Luoyun Main City was so sensible and didn’t try to follow them. After he had completely collected the Iron Eagle Fruits, Yun Lu found the next Iron Eagle Tree: “Young Master, there are four Iron Eagle Trees 200 zhang to the southeast. But it seems there are people fighting over it.”
“Oh? Let’s go check it out.” Yang Chen headed straight there.
His speed was lightning-fast, and 200 zhang was nothing for him now. It only took a moment’s breath.
As soon as Yang Chen appeared 200 zhang away, he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the scene ahead. He couldn’t help but smile: “It’s really true that enemies always cross each other’s paths!”
Indeed, enemies were always destined to meet.
These four Iron Eagle Trees were real, and the two forces fighting were also real.
Yang Chen wasn’t particularly interested in the situation at first, and he didn’t plan to intervene in the fight between the two forces. However, who would have guessed that the two fighting sides were none other than Sun Star City and Changnan City?
Changnan City was where Lu Dong was located, and Yang Chen clearly remembered, as the first match of the warm-up competition was triggered by Lu Dong.
Nevertheless, that wasn’t important.
What was important was Sun Star City!
As for other people’s matters, Yang Chen didn’t care, but when it came to Sun Star City’s affairs…
He, Yang Chen, was definitely concerned.
“Changnan City, you have only yourselves to blame for being weak, especially you, Lu Dong. Hahaha, you brought humiliation upon yourself by looking for trouble with Huo Ming. Now, you can’t even display half your strength. You deserve to fall into the hands of our Sun Star City. Hahaha!” The talent at the forefront of Sun Star City, Wang Yulong, laughed heartily.
Looking at Changnan City, they were in a sorry state. Their number one talent, Lu Dong, had challenged Huo Ming and failed. Now he couldn’t even display half of his strength, and leading his companions, how could he be a match for Sun Star City?.
