Chen Lin's heart leaped with joy when he saw Bai Yujing.
He immediately rose to greet him.
"Brother Bai, you finally showed up."
Bai Yujing sighed softly.
"I went to take care of a few things. I never imagined so much would happen in the meantime. Tell me about the Secret Realm, then we'll set off."
"All right."
Chen Lin agreed.
He then recounted everything he knew.
He covered the Secret Realm's special rules, his experiences with Bai Lingyu and the others, and the strange occurrences in the Spirit Refining Tower. He even explained what he knew about the Blind Girl, the Heart Realm, and the Sword Clan.
This was no time to conceal anything.
Even the tiniest gap in information could lead to grave consequences.
Bai Yujing's expression grew solemn after he finished listening.
He had made some brief inquiries before coming, but the information he had gathered was incomplete. Only now did he truly understand this Secret Realm.
"It seems there really is more to this place than meets the eye."
After offering that assessment, he turned his attention elsewhere.
Bai Yujing looked at the Blind Girl.
"You must be the fellow cultivator from the Heart Realm. Do you know the precise origins of the Spirit Refining Tower?"
The Blind Girl shook her head.
"The Bizarre Kingdom's rules affected me and caused gaps in my memory. My memories of the Spirit Refining Tower are rather hazy. I only remember that it was a Secret Land where passing trials could earn rewards."
"But I failed its trials. Instead, a mysterious powerhouse suppressed me for countless years."
At her words, Bai Yujing pointed a finger.
A streak of sword light flew out and hovered before the Blind Girl's brow, ringing with one sword hum after another.
Chen Lin jumped in
