Yan Feng's Storage Ring held a vast number of Spirit Stones and treasures.

That was only natural. Yan Feng might not have held much standing in the Yan Family,

but he was still one of the Yan Family's young masters. Even out of favor, he had resources ordinary families could never match.

But he had gotten one thing wrong: unless he had reached the Myriad Stars Realm, he was certain to die at Ye Chen's hands.

If he knew Dong Shizhang, a Myriad Stars Realm cultivator, had been chased by Ye Chen all the way from a Beast God Cult stronghold to the Lianhai Mountains, who knew what he would think?

Soon enough, though, he would learn what despair felt like.

Yan Feng knew none of this, but the Westwind Lion King looked at him with a trace of pity.

After all, the lion had heard every word Ye Chen said earlier.

"Master Lan... since everyone's here, shall we begin?" Yan Feng could barely contain his impatience.

Staying here was just too... awkward.

The guard he had brought was already dead. All he had left were lackeys in the Mountain-Moving and Awakening Realms.

The moment they saw the Lion King, they had gone mute, not daring to say a word...

Can't count on them. Yan Feng shot the servants a look of bitter disappointment.

Hearing Yan Feng, Lan Batian glanced almost imperceptibly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gave a slight nod. Before Yan Feng arrived,

Ye Chen had shown them a little of what he could do.

His astonishing healing, his powerful physique, and the wooden spikes he could drive straight through steel plates

had left everyone stunned. But while they were still reeling...

the Westwind Lion King had been at the back of the mountain, exasperated. How long does this kid plan to keep playing the fool? Even I'm getting sick of it!

Despite Ye Chen's display of strength, Zhang Daosheng remained uneasy.

But there was nothing he could do. Once Ye Chen made up his mind, he would not change it.

Ye Chen had wanted to kill Yan Feng ever since the day he left. Now that he finally had the chance,

how could he give it up?

"Then let's begin." Lan Batian took a small knife from his ring.

It was delicate, tiny, and rather cute.

Even Ye Chen was taken aback. That's the Secret Realm key?

Yan Feng's eyes, however, lit up. This was something good.

The form of a Secret Realm's key could indicate what kind of items lay inside:

tools, weapons, and so on.

A key shaped like a small knife suggested that the Secret Realm held weapons.

Once, a Half-Saint had entered a Secret Realm whose key was a spear.

There, he obtained a spear of unknown grade and used it to kill a Saint Realm Mutant Beast, despite being only a Half-Saint!

Yan Feng might have neglected his studies, but he had seen plenty.

After all, he had started from a different place. While others were still learning the basics, most heirs of prominent families were already studying the rise and fall of the Human Race.

Lan Batian held up the key, his expression grave.

"Ready?"

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened. "Ready, Brother Lan."

Lan Batian poured spiritual energy into the key, and it glowed icy blue.

Ye Chen stared in surprise. Brother Lan must have prepared this Secret Realm key for Lan Lengshuang ages ago, right?

Even its element is Ice Element. Who else could the weapons inside be meant for? It's obvious!

With that thought, Ye Chen glanced at Lan Lengshuang, then at Lan Batian.

"He really dotes on his daughter..." Ye Chen murmured.

Lan Batian's mouth twitched sharply. This brat...

The icy-blue light grew brighter. The entire key dissolved into a ball of light and flew forward.

A Portal appeared in an instant.

Ye Chen marveled at the sight. He had seen plenty of Portals in games in his past life,

but this was his first time seeing a real one.

"All right, go on." Activating the Secret Realm key seemed to have drained much of Lan Batian's Spiritual Power; even his voice was weak. Still, he glared fiercely at Ye Chen. He had not forgotten Ye Chen's remark about how he doted on his daughter.

"Ye, you brat, take good care of my daughter. You hear me?"

Lan Batian's expression was fierce.

Ye Chen grinned. "Don't worry, Brother Lan. I'll look after my niece."

Lan Lengshuang fixed Ye Chen with an icy stare. "Why wouldn't I be the one protecting you?! And who's your niece? Have you no shame?"

She stepped through the Portal first. Ye Chen gave a dry laugh and followed.

Yan Feng also stepped through the Portal without a word.

The instant he stepped through the Portal, a sinister smile tugged at Yan Feng's lips.

Ye Chen... you're dead!

The moment Ye Chen entered the teleportation array, a blast of cold air struck his face.

He immediately regretted it. "Damn, I didn't bring any extra clothes..."

An endless expanse of glaciers stretched before him. Wasn't this Secret Realm a little too barren?

Even Lan Lengshuang looked uncomfortable. She had the Ice Element, but she was not strong enough to shrug off any degree of cold.

Yan Feng was faring somewhat better, though not by much.

With his Fire Element, he had entered a world of ice...

No matter how he looked at it, he did not belong here.

Even so, he could keep his body warm in this frozen wasteland.

Yan Feng did not attack as soon as he entered. Lan Lengshuang was beside Ye Chen, after all.

Taking on both of them here, in this icy wasteland, with one of his opponents possessing the Ice Element, would be foolish.

Ye Chen had underestimated Yan Feng. He had expected the bastard to attack the moment they entered the Secret Realm.

Instead, Yan Feng was watching his surroundings and waiting for an opening.

So much for all those books where every villain is an idiot. Can't trust that.

Ye Chen shook his head at the thought.

Seeing Ye Chen shiver, Yan Feng was delighted.

Ye Chen only had the Wood Element. In this frozen wasteland, staying warm mattered most!

Once Ye Chen could no longer endure the cold, it would be time to strike!

Lan Lengshuang paid none of this any mind. She turned and walked up to the Portal.

The Portal transformed into a compass.

Ye Chen fell silent...

Well, would you look at that. Your Secret Realm is all high-tech?

Lan Lengshuang checked the compass, then glanced at Ye Chen. "Let's go."

She strode off on her own. Ye Chen gave Yan Feng another look

and shrugged. "Come on, young master~"

Yan Feng's anger flared. Is he calling me a young master? No, he's mocking me!

But he forced his anger down. It was not time yet!

He followed without a word.

Watching Lan Lengshuang's graceful figure, Yan Feng grew frustrated.

Where was he supposed to get down to business in a frozen place like this?

Forget getting down to business—he could not even get in the mood!

The endless glaciers and biting cold drove one message home: Young man, cool your head!
