Leaving the Secret Realm!

The Ice Cold Palace only has one Half-step Nascent Soul Grandmaster, namely Grand Elder Dou.

He is nearing the end of his life.

But as long as he lives, no one in the Ice Cold Palace will dare to disobey his will.

Including the Palace Master of the Ice Cold Palace.

In the eyes of the Palace Master of the Ice Cold Palace, if Ling Han could marry the Second Elder, it would not only consolidate her own position.

She might even give birth to a genius grandson for him!

Why not?

Without much hesitation, he agreed.

If Ling Han hadn't been so assertive, even threatening suicide, that old bastard would have already succeeded.

However, an agreement was still signed with them.

To break through to the Golden Core stage, she must marry the Second Elder.

Otherwise, then die.

Therefore, over the years, she not only did not make efforts to cultivate, but even tried every means to avoid cultivation.

At that moment, Zhang Xuanbing's image appeared in her mind.

But neither his strength nor the Zhang Family's strength could help her escape her misery.

This is also why Ling Han has never come to find Zhang Xuanbing even once in all these years.

I was just afraid of causing trouble for Zhang Xuanbing.

But things are different now. Zhang Xuanbing broke through from the Foundation Establishment Peak to the Golden Core Mid Stage in just four years.

This is beyond what the word "genius" can describe.

After listening to Ling Han's words, Zhang Xuanbing looked at Ling Han, who was kneeling in the void and crying, with a complicated expression.

Thinking back to Zhang Xuanchen's wedding day four years ago.

Ling Han's composure when facing herself.

At that moment, the arrogance in her eyes was impossible to conceal.

But in just a few short years, the once-proud and talented young woman has been forced into this state.

Life is truly unpredictable.

With a soft sigh, he used his spiritual energy to help Ling Han up.

"Stand up and speak."

How much longer can you hold on?

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Ling Han's dim eyes.

Could it be?

He quickly replied, "Ten years!"

Xuanbing, I can only hold on for another ten years at most.

Ten years from now, I will only have two choices: compromise or die.

"Xuanbing, I really like you. If you agree to help me, we can get married right now."

No witnesses are needed.

No, you don't have to help me.

I'm happy and willing to give myself to you.

She doesn't care about anything anymore.

Being Zhang Xuanbing's woman, even without any official status, is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than being with that old beast!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanbing frowned. "Don't talk nonsense."

There are no feelings between us, so don't say that again.

But I can help you. Within ten years, the Zhang Family can help you escape this misery.

You only need to promise me one thing.

That means being on standby at all times.

If my Zhang Family intends to attack the Ice Cold Palace, you must help the Zhang Family break through the Ice Cold Palace's Sect Protecting Grand Array at the crucial moment.

If you agree, then Heavenly Dao Oath!

If you refuse, you must Heavenly Dao Oath promising not to publicize our conversation.

"Our Zhang Family's grand plan cannot afford to fail!"

With the help of that mysterious Ice Crystal, he was confident that he could break through to the Late Golden Core within ten years.

If one can comprehend Sword Intent during this period, it is not impossible to block Half-step Nascent Soul.

Therefore, even if the Ice Cold Palace cannot be destroyed in ten years, helping Ling Han escape from her suffering should not be a major problem.

This is under the premise of the Zhang Family's normal development.

But in Zhang Xuanbing's mind, this kind of normal development was unlikely to happen.

Because of Zhang Xuanchen, his mysterious and unpredictable physique gives him, and even the Zhang Family, unlimited possibilities for the future.

Under his leadership, and with the Zhang Family united as one, Heavenly Talent emerged one after another.

In the future, unifying the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain is inevitable.

A battle with various forces is inevitable.

By having Ling Han act as an inside agent within the Ice Cold Palace, she managed to break the Ice Cold Palace's Sect Protecting Grand Array a crucial moment.

This could save the Zhang Family a lot of resources and even save the lives of many members of their clan.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ling Han's eyes.

Is my beauty really that unattractive?

He was rejected multiple times!

It's alright, though. After this incident, she and Zhang Xuanbing also developed a secret.

A little secret that belongs only to the two of them.

Their relationship has taken another step closer.

If Zhang Xuanming was not far away, knew what she was thinking, he would definitely question her loudly:

Am I not human?

Am I even human?!

Ling Han looked at Zhang Xuanbing and said, "Okay."

I promise you.

I, Ling Han, swear once again...

Only after she made another Heavenly Dao Oath did Zhang Xuanbing nod.

He said, "Okay."

Ling Han, rest assured, the Zhang Family will certainly not let you down.

Ten years—it will only be sooner, not later.

It will surely help you escape from suffering.

Ling Han replied:

"Xuanbing, I definitely believe you."

You really don't want to consider talking to me here...?

Before Ling Han could finish speaking, Zhang Xuanbing raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Miss Ling Han, you will find your ideal husband in the future."

Don't do that again.

Until next time.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xuanbing picked up Zhang Xuanming and flew away from the spot.

Ling Han was left alone, bewildered in the snow and ice.

She stared blankly at Zhang Xuanbing's departing figure.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

A sickly smile appeared on his face.

She murmured softly:

"My ideal husband is you, Zhang Xuanbing."

It doesn't matter how many times you reject me.

As long as I persevere, I will succeed one day.

I will use any means necessary to have you!

Hehehe.

On the other side.

Standing atop the Spirit Sword, Zhang Xuanming looked at Zhang Xuanbing, who remained silent and had a cold expression.

I couldn't help but nudge him on the back twice and said:

"Hey, Third Brother."

Why won't you agree? That's Ling Han, the fairy!

Young Palace Master the Ice Cold Palace.

Her talent, looks, and physique are all top-notch.

She could be considered the dream partner of countless male cultivators in the South Sea Immortal Continent.

She's already offered herself up, and she doesn't even intend to compete with Su Third Sister-in-law for a position.

I just want to be a small person.

You rejected it without even thinking about it.

How about it?

Do you regret it now?

Ah?"

In response to this question, Zhang Xuanbing simply replied, "No regrets."

I have no regrets now, and I will never regret them later.

"The only reason I agreed to help her was for the sake of my Zhang Family's grand plan for rise."

That's not about her.

"Let's go, let's continue searching for our clansmen, for spirit medicine, and for killing."

Time flies, and a month and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

Rumble!

The entire Secret Realm began to shake.

The cultivators and Demon Beast exploring various parts of the Secret Realm were all enveloped in a beam of light.

They vanished from their spot in an instant.

The leaders of various forces, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately went on high alert upon seeing the tremors in the Secret Realm.

He gazed expectantly at the area Secret Realm, enveloped in blue light.

Zhang Shikai, the Golden Core Ancestor Ninglu Sect, exclaimed excitedly:

"It's open! The Secret Realm is open!"

"The Spiritual Qi released by this Secret Realm is extremely compatible with the cultivation Cultivation Method practiced by the disciples of my Ninglu Sect."

This time, the strength of the younger generation of my Ninglu Sect will surely improve greatly!

His gaze then fell on Zhang Zujun, his face filled with sarcasm:

"Old Zhang."

What do you think of the Zhang Family Disciple' gains from this trip?

Zhang Zujun did not respond, his eyes fixed on the area enveloped by the blue light.

Seeing this, Zhang Shikai snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Meanwhile, other forces also began to stir.

Their expressions were solemn, each with their own thoughts.

Standing at the very front was Dou Kun, Half-step Nascent Soul from the Ice Cold Palace.

Tianluo Temple's Half-step Nascent Soul: Kuyun.

And two Half-step Demon Sect Masters from the Purple Cloud Mountain Range and the Azure Nether Mountain Range.

The two people and the two demons were wary of each other.

But no one intended to make a move at this time.
