Conspiracy

Xiao Fan shook his head and said with a stern face.

"Shen Long wouldn't dare do that yet, but what he said is true; Lord Jian Lord Qingfeng must have entered the entrance to that disappearing secret realm."

Hearing Xiao Fan say this, Zhou He immediately understood.

"Brother Xiao, are you saying that Qingfeng and the others were led to that secret realm by Shen Long?"

"Yes." Xiao Fan nodded.

Zhou He was even more puzzled now.

"Qingfeng was clearly going to hunt down the archer, so why did he lead the team into that secret realm? Besides, how did Shen Long know that the entrance to that secret realm would disappear?"

This is something Zhou He can't understand.

Xiao Fan explained with a dark face, "When I went to the City of Kings before, I overheard Shen Long and the others talking. A level 99 team from the City of Kings went to explore the Monster Region and entered a secret realm out of curiosity. Afterwards, the entrance to the secret realm mysteriously disappeared, and none of those people came out."

This news was brought by Chen Xuewei's father, Chen Zhihao.

Xiao Fan had been secretly gloating for a long time, never expecting the boomerang to return to them so quickly.

"As for why Lord Qingfeng led people into that secret realm, either he was deceived by Shen Long, or Quan Zhong used special items."

Xiao Fan guessed.

"That old scoundrel Shen Long!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou He angrily cursed, "Jian Qingfeng is not only the spiritual leader of the Dragon Nation, but also my old partner. How could he not be furious that he was tricked by Shen Long into being in a lost secret realm, his fate unknown?"

But then, as if remembering something, Zhou He spoke again.

"Now that Qingfeng and the others have entered that disappearing secret realm again, does this mean that the entrance to the secret realm isn't permanently gone, but will reappear after a period of time? Does that mean Qingfeng and the others can come out again?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhou He's heart.

"It should be possible, otherwise Shen Long wouldn't have led Lord Qingfeng there," Xiao Fan said calmly.

These words initially startled Zhou He, but after understanding Xiao Fan's meaning, he spoke.

"You mean, Shen Long lured Qingfeng and the others to that secret realm so they would draw out the team that disappeared from the City of Kings?"

Xiao Fan shook his head.

"To be precise, they're leading us into the secret realm to rescue people, and incidentally, to help them rescue that missing level 99 team."

Shen Long's actions indicate that he knows the vanished team is not yet dead.

However, he himself dared not go in to rescue people, so he devised a plan to lure Jian Qingfeng and the others into the secret realm, forcing the authorities to send people into the secret realm to rescue them.

Having figured all this out, Xiao Fan and Zhou He were filled with rage.

But they were forced to be led by the nose by Shen Long, because they couldn't abandon Jian Qingfeng's team.

This time, Shen Long was one step ahead.

Zhou He's expression was grave, and what troubled him even more was...

Such a big event, yet the City of Kings hasn't revealed a single word about it.

It seems their information network has been exposed.

Xiao Fan had obviously thought of this as well.

"I'm sorry, I was too careless last time."

Zhou He shook his head. "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Shen Long has always known that we have spies planted. After such a big incident in City of Kings last time, he would probably suspect almost everyone who survived."

"Let's not talk about that. I've already found out the coordinates of the entrance to that secret realm and have sent people to guard it. Maybe Qingfeng and the others will come out on their own when the entrance reappears next time."

Xiao Fan wasn't one to dwell on things, so he nodded in agreement when he heard Zhou He say that.

"If they don't show up, I'll go inside and look for them."

He was determined to save Jian Qingfeng. Last time, when Jian Qingfeng disappeared at Crystal Mist Peak, Jian Qingfeng personally came to rescue him.

And this whole thing started because of him.

There was no way around it; he was just too eager to improve.

Zhou He did not refuse. If only one person could clear this secret realm, then that person would definitely be Xiao Fan.

"Alright, I'll arrange the team. If Qingfeng and the others don't come out after the entrance to the secret realm appears, then we'll go in to rescue them."

"Good."

City of Kings.

Rebuilding Level 5 City is not easy.

Especially considering the heavy losses suffered by the Shen Sect, their funds are severely insufficient.

Most of the city is still in ruins.

Shen Long only managed to raise a small amount of funds, and with the help of Quan Zhong, he was able to rebuild a small, complete area.

The City of Kings urgently needs funds and population to grow and expand.

Just as Zhou He said, after Xiao Fan was rescued late at night and struck by lightning in the City of Kings, Shen Long, who is now alive, can hardly believe it.

Then he thought of the group that had disappeared into the secret realm.

This was a team he could completely trust, and the top fighting force of their City of Kings.

Zhou He scrolled through his friend list and was surprised to find that the entire team was still alive.

So he found a survivor from Chen Zhihao's team and located the entrance to the lost secret realm.

To his surprise, the entrance to the secret realm had reappeared!

Does this mean that the missing team can emerge from the secret realm?

Although these people were important, Shen Long himself dared not risk going in to rescue them.

So he thought of asking the authorities to help him get in and find the person.

Today, he led a group to the Monster Region to search for the token needed to break through to Level 5 City, but unexpectedly encountered Jian Qingfeng and Xiao Fan.

This is the person he hates the most.

Shen Long originally intended to kill the two men, but he didn't expect that in the moment of crisis, Xiao Fan would choose to let Jian Qingfeng's team escape.

Since he couldn't beat Jian Qingfeng, he came up with this underhanded trick.

Jian Qingfeng into that disappearing secret realm, forcing the authorities to enter and rescue people; perhaps that can help him bring them back up.

Of course, the help and suggestions from those with Quan Zhong.

He has an item that, when used, can pull all players within a designated area into the secret realm.

So he had someone lure Jian Qingfeng to the vicinity of the secret realm entrance, used an item to pull him into the secret realm, and then told Zhou He about it.

Everything was ready; Zhou He was just waiting for the entrance to the secret realm to reappear so he could go in and rescue the people.

Inside the house.

Quan Zhong looked at Shen Long beside him.

Are you sure Zhou He will enter the secret realm to rescue people?

Shen Long lowered his eyes, his tone full of confidence.

"Don't worry, given Jian Qingfeng's standing in the hearts of the Dragon Nation, Zhou He won't abandon him. By the way, how did you determine that the teams entering this secret realm wouldn't be alone, but would all be in one place?"

This is what Shen Long can't understand.

Logically, all teams that enter the secret realm should have completed their missions individually.

Even if Jian Qingfeng enters the secret realm, it's impossible for him to be with the team from their City of Kings.

But Quan Zhong confidently told him that these teams would definitely be in one place.

Quan Zhong:...

What else could it be? It's all based on experience!

His son is still trapped in the secret realm, which is also a secret realm that will disappear!

Seeing that Quan Zhong silent, Shen Long didn't mind.

Even if they can't rescue anyone, killing Jian Qingfeng is still a sure win.
