"Gulp!"

The Little Turtle had no idea how many mouthfuls of saliva it had swallowed.

At the same time, it seemed as if it saw countless sharp knives in Wang Yao's terrifying eyes.

Its intuition told it that if it dared to say no again, not only would it lose all the hair on its head, but its life would also be in danger.

In a daze, a very distant scene suddenly appeared in its mind.

He was a handsome man with flowing long hair, sitting by the pond fishing.

His unparalleled good looks made even the blooming lotus flowers in the pond pale in comparison, and even the fish were captivated by him, willingly taking his bait.

He said, "You dare mess with that woman? She's a madwoman, she bites anyone she can get her hands on, even I have to give her some leeway. It's not that I'm afraid of her, I just don't want to cause trouble."

Thinking of this, it nodded vigorously.

Yes, he is, yes, yes, yes.

The Little Turtle gave in.

But it was by no means acting on its own accord; it was just that a dignified tortoise wouldn't stoop to the level of a mere woman.

Anyway, the truth will come out when its real owner appears, and she'll know that she really did mistake someone else for someone else.

That's more like it.

Wang Yao loosened the little braid on the Little Turtle's head, looked around, and found that the big yellow dog with wings was also gone.

"Ignore these people, hurry up and find him. He got the Spirit Weapon, he'll definitely be eager to get out."

"That's right, let's wait for him at the entrance to the secret realm," the Little Turtle chimed in.

Its master's Spirit Weapon is still in that kid's hands; we can't let him take it away so easily.

Even if we don't get it back, we at least need to find out who the other party is and see what they look like.

When his master appears later, retrieving the Spirit Weapon will be a piece of cake for him.

After Wang Yao and the Little Turtle left, only the remnants of the black-robed gang and the Zhou Family remained.

"What should we do next?" Zhou Family.

Zhou Xi glanced at the black-robed figures who were warily watching their own camp, thought for a moment, and replied, " The Spirit Weapon was taken away by that Advanced Psychic. Let's go to the entrance."

"Good."

The remaining members of the Church of Justice exchanged glances and ultimately decided to head towards the entrance.

Just as Wang Yao and the Little Turtle had guessed, after sending the Little Turtle away, Jiang Fan immediately summoned Big Black back and headed towards the entrance of the secret realm, intending to leave as soon as possible.

Upon reaching the entrance, they found two groups of people facing each other with knives drawn, ready to fight at any moment.

Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, the two groups of people stood on opposite sides of the entrance.

Hidden in the sea of fog, Jiang Fan also observed a corpse that had recently died, lying right between the two camps.

Of these two groups, one group was entirely dressed in black robes, clearly belonging to the Church of Justice.

Of course, this larger group of black-robed figures were not the same as those who followed the Holy Son of the Church of Justice; their faces didn't match, and their numbers didn't match either.

The other group of people, dressed similarly to the Zhou Family, were likely members of the Zhou Family.

As for the corpse lying on the ground, it was also wearing Zhou Family clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan vaguely guessed part of the truth.

It's estimated that the Church of Justice killed members of the Zhou Family, which led to the current situation.

"How dare you! You have such audacity! You actually dared to openly kill members of my Zhou Family!"

"He entered through the entrance midway, so he must have been acting on your patriarch's orders to harm our Holy Son. To prevent future trouble, let him be killed."

The man in black robes was only half right. The Zhou Family who died did indeed follow Zhou Lingxing's orders, but they were instructed to protect a Intermediate Psychic within the secret Zhou Family with all their might, even if they all perished, so that not a single hair on his head could be lost.

Unfortunately, before the order could be delivered, he was ambushed by the Church of Justice and killed on the spot.

The man in black robes was undoubtedly deliberately trying to provoke the Zhou Family.

"Damn it, I'll kill you to avenge Zhou Yu!"

Just as the man was about to rush out, his companion pulled him back.

"The bigger picture is at stake. Don't act impulsively; they're clearly trying to provoke us."

"Yes, don't forget our mission!"

Their mission was to wait for the person wielding Spirit Weapon to appear and then intercept them.

If members of the Church of Justice obtain Spirit Weapon, they will kill their opponents, even at the cost of their own lives.

However, if it is another force, they can be let go as long as the other party is willing to hand over the Spirit Weapon.

"Come on? Why aren't you coming? Are you afraid of heavy casualties and then being unable to snatch the Spirit Weapon from my Holy Son?" a man in black robes said in a sarcastic tone.

"Ha! Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. You think your Holy Son will get the Spirit Weapon just because you say so?"

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? Below the Fourth Rank, my Holy Son is invincible. No one can rival him. Who else could have obtained him?"

"Invincible below the Fourth Rank? How laughable! Your Church of Justice is truly ignorant and arrogant! You must know that there are always people more powerful than you, and the sky is always higher than the heavens. Your Holy Son may be invincible below the Fourth Rank in your Church of Justice, but that doesn't mean he's invincible at the Fourth Rank in the entire Great Xia."

"Our Church of Justice is superior to the Great Xia. Our Holy Son is invincible, and therefore invincible in the Great Xia. Besides, our Holy Son is the reincarnation of the Holy Lord, and the Spirit Weapon originally belonged to our Holy Son."

"That's ridiculous! Reincarnation? It's all bullshit. Don't think we don't know; this is just a gimmick from your Church of Justice. If your so-called Holy Son were truly the reincarnation of the Holy Lord, why doesn't he personally demand the return of the Spirit Weapon from our clan?"

"You are utterly shameless! How dare you insult the Holy Son of my Church!"

"I'm insulting your Holy Son, so what? Go ahead and bite me if you dare! Come on, I'll give you my leg, try biting my pant leg!"

The two sides were exchanging insults fiercely, spitting everywhere, but neither of them made the first move.

Because they know very well that now is not the time to take action.

Everything will be clear once the person wielding the Spirit Weapon appears.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt a headache coming on.

These two groups together numbered over a hundred people, all of whom were High-Stage Third Rank.

Needless to say, those who can stay here are definitely elites among the High-Stage Third Rank.

They completely blocked the entrance to the secret realm, making it impossible for anyone to sneak out unnoticed.

Not to mention he was also severely injured by Pseudo Spirit Weapon.

This is not an injury caused by an ordinary alloy weapon.

Although he had taken a large amount of Body Restoration Pill, he felt that he would need at least half a month of recuperation to fully recover his strength.

Moreover, even without injury, under the suppression of the secret realm's rules, advanced Psychic Power is limited, and directly facing two experts would inevitably result in some injuries.

There is another way, which is to disguise yourself, but that also has drawbacks.

Seeing that both sides were like wolves and tigers, it was estimated that they would definitely not let anyone leave easily.

If they were to search him, given the experience and knowledge of the elites from both the Zhou Family and the Church of Justice, it would be difficult to detect.

Upon closer inspection, the existence of the spatial ring may very well be exposed.
