Once Chu Yunfei enters the Heavenly Mystic Secret Realm, his life and death will no longer be in his own hands.
A meaningful smile appeared on Mo Yinsheng's lips.
Chu Yunfei did not respond, and turned back to the high platform of the Pill Pavilion.
Nangong Wuhen stared intently as Chu Yunfei landed back on the high platform of the Pill Pavilion, his face barely concealing his resentment.
"Hateful."
He chuckled coldly, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "This piece of trash has escaped again. But it's fine. If Wei Shanhe were to kill him now, how could I personally avenge the humiliation I suffered before?"
Back in Qingyang City, Chu Yunfei had caused him to lose face completely.
Nangong Wuhen still remembers that humiliation to this day.
Once inside the secret realm, he would make Chu Yunfei understand just how vast the chasm lies between the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the outcast of a second-rate sect.
Just as Nangong Wuhen was secretly making plans, a deep voice suddenly entered his mind.
" Wuhen, once inside the secret realm, you must not attack Chu Yunfei alone."
Nangong Wuhen's expression shifted slightly, and he turned to look at the person in the first seat.
The Heavenly Sword Sect Master, Meng Tianyun, remained indifferent, still gazing ahead. His lips did not move, yet his voice clearly entered Nangong Wuhen's sea of consciousness.
" Chu Yunfei dared to provoke Wei Shanhe to his face, which is definitely not simply because he relies on the Pill Pavilion; he must be hiding some kind of trump card."
"You can join forces with the Cangyun Sect and the Puppet Sect to ambush and kill them, but avoid acting recklessly alone. As for Shuang'er, I have already given her instructions beforehand. She will lend you a hand at a crucial moment."
Nangong Wuhen's heart sank slightly.
The sect leader's arrangement was clearly an implication that he alone might not be able to defeat Chu Yunfei.
This judgment greatly displeased him.
He has now reached the Divine Sea Realm Second Layer and has mastered several Heaven-level martial arts techniques of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could he possibly lose to a disgraced disciple of the Azure Mystic Sect?
However, Meng Tianyun had long held considerable power, Nangong Wuhen dared not openly defy him, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
"Sect Master, rest assured, this disciple knows what to do."
He agreed verbally, but his eyes grew even colder.
Once he enters the secret realm, he will prove with facts that the sect leader's concerns are completely unnecessary.
Situ Shuang'er was sitting not far away, suddenly opened her eyes.
Meng Tianyun had indeed instructed her to help Nangong Wuhen if he encountered danger.
But what if the person Nangong Wuhen wanted to kill was Chu Yunfei...?
Situ Shuang'er's fingers gently traced the Ice Soul Sword, and her emotions were unusually disturbed.
She and Chu Yunfei had long since broken off their engagement and had no further connection.
For some reason, the thought of several top talents joining forces to kill him within the secret realm made her feel an unbearable unease.
Whether he lives or dies is none of my business.
Situ Shuang'er coldly warned herself in her heart.
But those clear, cold eyes still couldn't help but look towards the high platform of the Pill Pavilion.
Within the Heavenly Edict Sect's camp.
A young man dressed in a silver-white robe held a sword in his hands, a gentle smile on his lips.
He had a handsome face, a long and deep breath, and the Holy Son Token of the Heavenly Edict Sect hung at his waist.
Xiao Yihan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Edict Sect.
Xiao Yihan looked at Chu Yunfei and said with interest, "Junior Sister Si, this Young Master Chu is even more interesting than you described before. Facing a sect leader like Wei Shanhe, he can still remain calm. Few among the younger generation have such courage."
Si Yunshu nodded slightly, her expression serious.
" Chu Yunfei is different from ordinary prodigies. He may seem arrogant, but he rarely acts without restraint. The fact that he dared to step forward just now suggests that he was quite confident in his abilities."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yihan's eyes.
"My junior sister has a very high opinion of him."
He followed Si Yunshu's gaze and said with a faint smile, "The sect suddenly asked you and me to make friends with him in the secret realm, and even provide assistance when necessary. It seems there are some inside stories I don't know about."
Si Yunshu did not reveal the matter of Lu Shaoyuan and the Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword, but only gently reminded him, "Since the Supreme Elder personally gave the order, she naturally has her reasons. Senior Brother, you only need to remember that Chu Yunfei can be a friend, but you must never easily become his enemy."
Xiao Yihan nodded with a smile, but a hint of competitiveness arose in his heart.
He acknowledged Chu Yunfei's astonishing courage and also admitted that the opponent's combat strength was considerable.
However, as the Holy Son of the Heavenly Edict Sect, he had cultivated the sect's complete inheritance and believed that he was no less than any of his peers.
If given the chance, he would like to test for himself just how strong Chu Yunfei really is.
Within the Puppet Sect's camp, the clandestine communication continued unabated.
Yue Chenzhou's face was pale as he turned his head to look at the cold and beautiful woman beside him.
The woman wore a dark purple dress, had a cold and beautiful face, and a very faint gray puppet pattern on her brow. A small black wooden coffin floated behind her.
Yin Hanmei, the Holy Maiden of the Puppet Sect.
Yue Chenzhou lowered his voice and said, "Just now, Qin Hao secretly transmitted his voice, saying that he has reached an agreement with Nangong Wuhen that after entering the secret realm, they will search for Chu Yunfei as soon as possible and invite our Puppet Sect to join in the ambush."
Yin Hanmei and coldly glanced in the direction where Chu Yunfei was.
"My sect's orders were indeed to keep this person in the secret realm, but how to kill him is my business."
She looked away, her tone filled with undisguised contempt.
" Chu Yunfei is nothing, why would it require several Holy Sons to join forces? Do you really think I, Yin Hanmei, am like you Yue Chenzhou, unable to even defeat a cultivator of the same generation?"
Yue Chenzhou's face suddenly darkened.
The defeat at the Jingyuan Hall was the most shameful thing he didn't want anyone to mention.
Now that Yin Hanmei has exposed his past wounds, his murderous intent has undoubtedly surged.
" Yin Hanmei, you'd better drop that arrogant attitude."
Yue Chenzhou said coldly, "When Chu Yunfei was in the Jingyuan Hall, he was able to severely injure me and Qin Hao with Heavenly Origin Realm Fifth Layer. Now he dares to directly provoke Wei Shanhe. His strength must be even greater than before."
"If you ruin the sect's affairs due to underestimating your enemy, even Sect Master Yin cannot protect you."
Yin Hanmei eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Although she looked down on Yue Chenzhou, she had to admit that there was some truth to what he said.
Wei Shanhe's behavior just now was indeed abnormal.
The fact that Chu Yunfei could make Divine Sea Realm Ninth Level expert hesitate to make a move suggests that he might indeed be hiding some kind of deadly trump card.
After a moment of silence, Yin Hanmei said coldly, "Tell Qin Hao that we can temporarily join forces after entering the secret realm, but once we find Chu Yunfei, I will personally take action."
Seeing that she had made a decision, Yue Chenzhou did not continue to argue.
In the middle of the high platform.
Ling Chengyuan took in the reactions of all six sects and felt quite regretful.
If Mo Yinsheng hadn't spoken, Wei Shanhe and Wen Daoyuan might have already engaged in a fierce battle.
Even if Chu Yunfei doesn't die, he will still deplete many of the Pill Pavilion's trump cards.
It doesn't matter.
Once we enter the secret realm, everything will proceed according to Father Emperor's plan.
Ling Chengyuan looked up at the sky and slowly stood up.
Royal retainer Zhou Xuancheng stepped forward, his Divine Sea Realm aura subtly spreading out, silencing the discussions in the square.
Ling Chengyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gentle yet clear voice resounding throughout the central square.
"Gentlemen."
