Listening to Zhou Xiangshan, Chu Xisheng felt an immense headache coming on.
He was actually somewhat interested in this Ninth-Rank Secret Realm.
Of course, he was even more interested in the Zhou Family's introductory gift.
Two thousand taels of demon silver for a single trip-that was quite a worthwhile deal.
Even several Life-and-Death Arena matches in the Black Market would not earn him that much.
But Chu Xisheng worried that he might fail to get the job done and end up offending the Linhai Zhou Family instead.
Nor could he ignore the risks within the secret realm.
He currently had eighty-nine Martial Dao Points, enough to exchange for eight Qin Muge Character Cards, but even those might not guarantee his safety.
The Qin Muge Character Card granted eighth-rank cultivation; whether he could use it inside a Ninth-Rank Secret Realm was also uncertain.
Chu Xisheng had to be cautious. He asked hesitantly, "Since this concerns the inheritance of the Cloudsea Immortal Palace, I imagine this Ninth-Rank Secret Realm will draw a gathering of outstanding talents?"
"It will indeed."
Zhou Xiangshan smiled and nodded slightly. "This Ninth-Rank Secret Realm can admit at most five hundred people. Powerful families, sects, and gangs from all across Eastern Province will be participating.
"But this happened so suddenly. All thirty-six inheritance secret realms of the Cloudsea Immortal Palace appeared without warning, leaving the various factions only a month and a half to prepare-not enough time to cultivate ninth-rank experts. So I can guarantee that none of them will field many skilled fighters this time. Those strong enough to contend with you, young hero, will number no more than five-"
There might not be even one.
Only a handful among them could reliably defeat Zhou Liangchen. Those whose strength matched Zhou Liangchen's numbered only twenty or thirty.
