How Despicable, Launching a Sneak Attack

"The Nine-Tower Secret Realm lost contact for many years, why has it suddenly re-established contact?"

In a unique space, the figures of everyone gathered again.

"I don't know. Just now, the Eye of the Secret Realm became usable again. Eye of the Secret Realm must have been repaired by someone within the Nine-Tower Secret Realm," one person replied.

"A member of my Xia Clan?"

"It shouldn't be. According to the records, among the clansmen who went to the Nine-Tower Secret Realm back then, those who did not leave after the incident all had their soul tablets broken one after another. There should be no one from our clan among them now."

These words immediately caused the atmosphere in the space to slightly subside.

"It must have been someone from somewhere else who stumbled upon a way to enter this secret realm, and by chance, they managed to repair the Eye of the Secret Realm," one person guessed.

The Nine-Story Tower is ultimately a space, and since it is a space, there is more than one way to enter it.

The Xia Clan discovered this secret realm by chance.

If that's the case, it cannot be ruled out that later generations could also enter using this method.

At this moment, the middle-aged man at the head of the group placed his hands on a platform and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the stage was filled with ripples of emotion.

If Dai Tianfeng were present, he would be surprised to find that the power emanating from the opponent's platform was quite similar to that of the Eye of the Secret Realm earlier.

Of course, Dai Tianfeng is unaware of these things at the moment.

He is still using the power of these Eye of the Secret Realm to explore the situation within the realm.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Dai Tianfeng's expression shifted slightly.

Just now, he felt a tremor, unable to tell whether it came from his physical body or from the void within the secret realm.

In short, after this tremor, the mental pressure from the investigation seemed to have decreased significantly.

"Could it be that now is the time for the Eye of the Secret Realm to truly begin to function?"

His mind was completely absorbed in the Eye of the Secret Realm.

Unbeknownst to him, deep underground, the purple eyes were now shining even brighter, trembling slightly, as if they were being pushed to their limit.

A probing force spread outwards from this location in all directions at a speed hundreds or thousands of times faster than Dai Tianfeng's.

Upon investigation, he discerned and observed all the circumstances.

In the void, a figure moved through the air at an astonishing speed, yet remained completely silent.

Suddenly, the figure stopped abruptly, looked up into the distance, and spoke softly:

"A means of investigation?"

As the voice faded, his hands formed a hand seal, and in an instant, afterimages appeared.

"Go."

A moment later, he pointed out with one finger.

In an instant, a powerful mental attack sped away, following the direction from which the mental probe had come.

"Um?!"

Damn it!

Within the Xia Clan, the middle-aged man cursed under his breath, suddenly raised his hands, his internal energy surged, and he unleashed a series of spells.

"What happened?"

Everyone who was discussing the matter was taken aback by the situation and immediately turned to look.

For this middle-aged man to react so strongly, could something have happened?

At the same time, within the secret realm, the intent that was rapidly exploring in all directions suddenly paused.

Dai Tianfeng, who was using the Eye of the Secret Realm to sense the secret realm, was suddenly shocked.

"How is this possible?"

He suddenly felt an astonishing power flash by, so strong and so fast that it was terrifying. Based on his intuition, he immediately judged that the power he had just felt was probably even greater than that of the Emperor.

But this is a secret realm, how could that be?!

"Could it be that someone used their trump card?"

An idea flashed through Dai Tianfeng's mind.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, before he could even process it, Dai Tianfeng suddenly felt an unparalleled force that abruptly pulled him out of this state.

The sensed secret realm vanished instantly, and the scene of the underground space reappeared before their eyes.

In the slightly blurry scene, the purple eyes suddenly flickered violently, followed by a loud bang, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of flying debris.

"This..."

Dai Tianfeng suddenly woke up with a start, his expression changing drastically.

The purple sphere, which had only been placed there a short time ago, suddenly exploded.

The resulting surge of power instantly unleashed astonishing winds and impacts throughout the space.

Meanwhile, on the Xia Clan's side, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, as if relieved of a great burden, but his body trembled slightly as he stopped.

Everyone present sensed something, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.

"Envoy Xia, has something happened?" someone asked hurriedly.

Xia Ya did not answer, but instead pretended to recover. After a while, he took a deep breath and cursed:

"How despicable, resorting to a sneak attack."

He only wanted to investigate the overall situation in the secret realm, but he never expected to encounter such a change.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

"It couldn't possibly have been a sneak attack from a junior..."

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

"Not a junior." Xia Ya stated decisively.

"Judging from his movements, he should be a cultivator who primarily focuses on mental focus, and his level of cultivation should be..."

"Saint Realm, fifth or sixth level."

"Saint Realm?!" Someone was taken aback:

"Shouldn't everyone in the Nine-Tower Secret Realm be a junior?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone nearby reminded him:

"The Nine-Tower Secret Realm has corresponding administrator tokens, allowing elders to enter."

"I almost forgot about that. So, if they can send Saint Realm expert to manage this, their power must be quite considerable."

At this moment, someone spoke up and asked:

"So what do we do now? Should we try to negotiate with them?"

"No need," Xia Ya said.

"The other party is not someone to be trifled with; I have already destroyed the Stone of the Secret Realm."

Everyone was startled again:

"But if we did that, we would completely lose contact with the Nine-Tower Secret Realm, and the losses from back then would probably be irrecoverable."

However, some people realized what was happening and said:

"Since they've chosen to use a sneak attack, they're definitely not going to negotiate properly. Besides, if they're at the Saint Realm, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find the location of the Eye of the Secret Realm. Even if we don't destroy it, they'll do the same."

"That's true." Someone nodded.

"This Nine-Tower Secret Realm belongs to my Xia Clan. Their actions suggest they intend to possess it all for themselves. I wonder if they are strong enough to make them do such a thing."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up:

"Could that accident back then have been caused by them?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room momentarily froze.

However, soon Human Dao:

"Even if it really is them, given the current situation, it seems we don't have any usable options."

Xia Ya glanced at the speaker and said:

"I have my own plans."

After saying that, he changed the subject:

"Regarding the Nine-Tower Secret Realm, I will now report it to the supervisor or general manager for a decision. You need not concern yourselves with this matter any further."

With that, he quickly got up and left.
