Hu Yang had little need for the rest of the Secret Realm exploration, though something was better than nothing. He handed all the opportunities he had obtained to the snakes and Ling Ao, greatly increasing the strength of the beasts.
Before they knew it, the exploration of the Secret Realm had lasted several months.
That day, the spectacle of Ten Thousand Rays of Light appeared once more. The entire Secret Realm rumbled violently, Crystal Mountain split apart again, and the illusory barrier reappeared.
Then, the beasts exploring the Secret Realm emerged one after another. Aside from the Phoenix King, the Dark King, and the guards they had brought, every other beast that had entered the Secret Realm survived.
In truth, Hu Yang had been the greatest danger within the Secret Realm. During his exploration, his powerful aura had completely intimidated the hidden threats.
He had indirectly helped the other beasts, allowing their exploration to proceed unusually smoothly, and each of them had gained something.
Just as the beasts happily passed through the barrier, left the Secret Realm, and arrived at the entrance, a vast group of enormous Kui Long surrounded it.
Then Jie's laughter rang out from within the barrier. A moment later, the Kui Long King appeared, standing proudly in the sky.
"Leave behind everything you obtained in the Secret Realm, and you may live. Otherwise, die!"
"Kui Long King, what do you mean by this?"
"Enough nonsense. Leave the opportunities behind, and you may live."
"Fine, Kui Long. So this is the game you're playing? We're not pushovers either."
With that, several Tang Mountain rulers joined forces and attacked the Kui Long King.
For a time, the entrance to Crystal Mountain thundered incessantly. The mountain shook without end, vegetation flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
