Chapter 28: Entering the Secret Realm, Encountering the Magma Beast!

“Everyone, stay here and guard the entrance and Xuení, come with me into the secret realm.” Lin Qi’an had no intention of letting the sword guards follow him.

“Yes!” Su Xuení happily followed.

After taking a few steps, Lin Qi’an turned back, smiling as he asked, “I wonder if Ziyou Saintess is interested in joining us?”RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Being a girl of purple luck, closely related to Ling Tian, bringing her along could be advantageous.

“Me...?” Zi Lianyou pointed at herself, her clear, beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and was flattered!

“Why are you still standing there? It’s your fortune that the Crown Prince is personally inviting you, hurry up.”

The hundred members of Ziyou Holy Land were all excited. This was a great opportunity falling from the sky!

What does it mean when they say ‘one person ascends to heaven, the chickens and dogs follow’? The Tianchi Holy Land had already demonstrated this well.

They were originally targeted by the Tai’an Royal Family and were on the verge of annihilation, but because the Crown Prince took a liking to the Tianchi Saintess, he intervened and resolved the crisis.

It’s said that he even gifted them a heavenly-tier cultivation technique! If the Ziyou Saintess could receive similar treatment, their faces would surely break from smiling.

“Then I will shamelessly follow the Crown Prince...” Zi Lianyou’s face blushed as she softly replied.

Su Xuení smiled and extended a fair arm: “Come on!”

Inwardly, she thought, ‘Getting a good deal and still acting innocent, aren’t you, sister?’

The three of them stepped into the light gate together, entering the secret realm.

Inside, it was a small world of its own!

The sky was a scorching red, the air filled with a sweltering heat. Without using spiritual power to protect themselves, people would likely be steamed alive.

The ground was filled with cracks, with flowing red-hot magma visible through the gaps. Indeed, this was a fire-attribute secret realm.

There were already many beast corpses on the ground, blood everywhere, showing signs of the previous battles from those who had entered before.

Seeing the handsome figure in white arrive, accompanied by two stunning saintesses, everyone hurriedly saluted.

“We’re all here to seek treasures, no need for formalities,” Lin Qi’an smiled amiably.

“Crown Prince, we’ve all been stopped here, unable to cross this magma lake! I suspect that to obtain the treasures in this volcano, we must cross it.”

“Why can’t you cross?”

“Because... there is a terrifying beast in the lake.”

Lin Qi’an was about to inquire further but then...

Ahead, a man in simple cloth shouted, “A mere beast in the lake dares to block me? My Longhu Sect specializes in domineering spiritual power and fears no flames!”

With that, he leaped into the air, trying to cross the lake. Just as he reached the middle, the lake erupted, and several huge tentacles shot up, wrapping tightly around him.

“Vile creature, die!” The man tried to blast the tentacles with techniques, but to no avail. He was swiftly dragged into the magma lake.

“Ahhh!!!”

A heart-wrenching scream echoed which made everyone’s hair stand on end. Soon, there was no more sound from the man. He had likely been dissolved entirely in the magma.

“It seems we can’t cross the lake directly!”

“I propose we join forces to slay this beast, so we can all cross the lake together!”

“Agreed!”

“That seems to be the only option...”

After a brief discussion, all the cultivators turned their eyes to Lin Qi’an.

“What does the Crown Prince think?”

“Agreed.” Lin Qi’an nodded.

After all, he was just here for a casual stroll, to pass the time. For real treasure hunting, he’d rely on Ling Tian.

By sensing the position of the soul devouring worm, Lin Qi’an knew Ling Tian was among the cultivators present. As expected, main characters are always in disguise.
