An argument in the hall

They all knew a little about the inside story of this Ancient Secret Realm.

It can be said that if it weren't for the Profound Yellow Qi, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to compete for a spot in the secret realm.

However, even the people of the Ancient Domain didn't have enough spots, and some were even allocated to other regions.

How could this not make them angry!

Qian Poqiong looked at the two and said, "Zun Sheng, Mansion Master, the importance of the Ancient Secret Realm quota to us is self-evident. You allocated the quota to us without discussing it with us in advance. You should give us an explanation for this."

The Prefect of Tong Pass said, "Let me explain this. The reason for promising ten spots to the Southern Domain is because of the eruption of Profound Yellow Qi, as the people of the Southern Domain know."

Tai Shang Lingyun spoke up, "So what if they know? Does the Southern Domain dare to start a war with our Ancient Domain?"

"Yes, the Southern Domain has long kept to itself and its people separate. Now that such a great opportunity has arisen, they want to get a share of it. What's the logic behind that?"

"What does this have to do with our martial arts future? If those Mage from the Southern Domain want to seize it, what's wrong with fighting them?"

The Ninth Realm Martial Saint inside the main hall were clearly divided into two groups.

One group supports Wu Shi and Zun Sheng, while the other group stands on the opposite side.

Seeing everyone's reactions, the Zun Sheng Saint said slowly, "Everyone, the Mage of the Southern Domain are not to be underestimated. If a war really breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose."

"And even if war breaks out, do any of you who spoke up just now dare to fight?"

"When Second Tong Pass was attacked by the Supreme Demon Domain, none of you dared to show yourselves. How can I believe you would fight for the Ancient Domain?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Ninth Realm Martial Saint, led by Tai Shang Lingyun, darkened.

The Second Tong Pass Tongguan has already been covered, why keep bringing it up!

The Prefect of Tong Pass nodded in agreement, saying, "What the Zun Sheng said makes sense. War can be started, but it cannot be started lightly. Moreover, within the Ancient Secret Realm, we have places that can reach them. For example, that Sea of Stars within the Ancient Secret Realm requires the Great Shaman Mage Tower to clear the way before one can enter. If you want to give up the opportunity of the Sea of Stars, I, the Prefect, can take charge and reduce the number of places available in the Southern Domain."

Upon hearing about the place called Sea of Stars, the expressions of the Ninth Realm Martial Saint in the arena varied, with some even showing excitement.

Lin Yi was slightly surprised.

In recent days, he had already gathered all the information he could about the Ancient Secret Realm.

He knew exactly what the Sea of Stars that the Prefect of Tong Pass had mentioned was.

It is said that there are three forbidden lands in the Ancient Secret Realm, full of great opportunities.

Sea of Stars is one of them.

In the vast Sea of Stars, rare treasures often accompany shooting stars.

In the past, not only did Profound Yellow Qi frequently appear in the Sea of Stars, but there are also records of people obtaining Demigod Artifact and Red Grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

There are even rumors that one of the Gu Xianhe artifacts was obtained from the Sea of Stars.

Some say that the Sea of Stars is the highest point of the Ancient Secret Realm, connecting to another celestial world.

However, although many treasures flow out of the Sea of Stars, it is called a forbidden land because it is extremely dangerous and contains undetectable ' Spiritual Vortex '.

In the Sea of Stars, ' Spiritual Vortex ' is everywhere, and even Martial Saint who control space-related Domain cannot detect ' Spiritual Vortex '.

Moreover, whether they are martial artists or Mage, as long as they carelessly touch the ' Spiritual Vortex ', they will be like drowning people, unable to use any of their strength, and will gradually be devoured by the ' Spiritual Vortex ' and disappear into the Ancient Secret Realm.

Over the past ten thousand years, several patriarchs of the Martial Family in the Ancient Domain have perished in the ' Spiritual Vortex '.

Qian Poqiong and asked, "Can those Mage really clear a path through the Sea of Stars?"

The Zun Sheng said, "This is true. If they hadn't been able to discover ' Spiritual Vortex,' the Zun Sheng wouldn't have granted them so many slots. After all, when Profound Yellow Qi erupts, there should be the most in the Sea of Stars. Perhaps in just one Sea of Stars, we could gather enough Profound Yellow Qi."

Hearing this, Lin Yi sighed inwardly.

As far as he knew, the negotiations with the Southern Domain were Wu Shi's, but now the Zun Sheng had taken it over.

It seems that the relationship between the two is closer than he thought.

Tai Shang Lingyun, still unwilling to give up, questioned, "Ten spots in the Southern Domain are a lot, but if they can protect us in the Sea of Stars, it's not unacceptable. However, what's going on with the Supreme Demon Domain? Why do they also have spots?"

The Prefect of Tong Pass said, "Several Envoy-level Demon God in the Supreme Demon Domain have also received news of the Profound Yellow Qi. They frankly stated that if they are not given a spot in this Ancient Secret Realm, they will attack the Ancient Domain after we enter the Ancient Secret Realm."

As he spoke, the Mansion Master looked at Tai Shang Lingyun.

"The Tai Shang Family has always taken it upon themselves to eliminate demons, so they shouldn't be threatened by a few demon lords. Why don't you, Ancestor Lingyun, destroy these few Envoy Demon God? Then you can have all the extra slots to choose from. What do you say?"

The Tai Shang Lingyun did not respond.

How could he possibly do such a thankless and exhausting task?

"To put it nicely, exterminating demons is also Tongguan Prefecture's business. If Tongguan Prefecture had done a good job, how could the Ancient Domain have been threatened by Monster?"

Seeing the two arguing more and more intensely, Zun Sheng interrupted, saying, "Alright, let's leave the matter of the quotas as it is for now. Next, we should discuss how to work together within the Ancient Secret Realm."

At this moment, Zhen Changsheng Zhen Changsheng of the Zhen Family, suddenly said, "Wait, this Deputy Prefect Qin is only Eight-Realm Martial Saint. I'm afraid it will be a waste for him to search for Profound Yellow Qi the Ancient Secret Realm."

Lin Yi shook his head when he saw Zhen Changsheng suddenly appear and turn his attention to him.

This old man, does he really think he's an easy target?

Xun Hanfeng said, "Zhen Family, Tongguan Prefecture has always had two Ancient Secret Realm quotas. I'm afraid you can't decide how to allocate these quotas."

Zhen Changsheng sneered, "If it were just two spots, that would be fine, but now with the Mansion Master, Tongguan Prefecture has sent three people!"

"Moreover, in this Ancient Secret Realm, all of our quotas were taken away because of the attack on the Second Tong Pass. I admit that, but Tongguan Prefecture did not perform well either. In my opinion, Tongguan Prefecture should only have one quota."

Upon hearing Zhen Changsheng's remarks about Tongguan Prefecture, the usually mild-mannered Prefect of Tong Pass chuckled and said, "According to you, I am not worthy of having a spot either?"

Zhen Changsheng remained unfazed, his face stern as he said, "I'm just stating the facts. In the past, it was one thing to have a spot in the Secret Realm Slot, since Profound Yellow Qi was scarce. But this time, every single spot is incredibly precious. How can we let an Eight-Realm Martial Saint hold one?"

The Prefect of Tong Pass extended his finger. "First, my quota was bestowed by the Ancestral Saint. Second, when the Second Tong Pass Tongguan Prefecture was attacked, several Deputy Prefect and Garrison Commander were all mobilized, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, including the fall of one Garrison Commander. During this period, I wonder how many people from your Zhen Family came?"

Zhen Changsheng said, "Protecting the Ancient Domain is the duty of your Tongguan Prefecture..."

The Prefect of Tong Pass's eyes instantly reddened. "Responsibility my ass! Does your Zhen Family think you can enjoy your retirement with a clear conscience, while the people of Tongguan Prefecture have to risk their lives on the front lines?"

"The Gu Xianhe left Tongguan Prefecture behind not to protect Martial Family like yours!"

"You use your responsibilities to pressure us all day long, while you reap the benefits without Zhen Changsheng, you have such a thick skin."

At this moment, the Prefect of Tong Pass roared, like an old man smashing a bowl in a fit of rage.
