So This Is the Truth?

"You're also looking for the Heavenly Ruins Secret Realm, aren't you? Why not join us?"

Another, younger cultivator said with a smile.

Li Yunjing's heart stirred. He quickly exchanged glances with Yu Yunyi, Lu Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

Fu Chao's old face flushed red. He looked at the two men and asked.

"Damn it! Those bastards!"

Fu Chao understood everything. He sprang to his feet and cursed loudly.

His voice carried far. The people by the lakeside all turned to look, each wearing a different expression: some were sneering, some sympathetic, and others smiling...
