Dead or Alive, We Need to See Him; at Least Bring Back His Corpse

Time passed.

Within the secret realm, lies the Eye of the Secret Realm.

A figure appeared in the void; it was the person who had made the move earlier.

It hovered in mid-air for a moment before descending.

A short while later, his figure appeared in the space below.

"The reaction was quite decisive; they even destroyed the formation as well."

With a soft voice, the newcomer's gaze swept over the various elements within the space.

In a spot against the wall, on the wall, there was a blood-red figure.

This figure was no ordinary shadow, but a person standing in front of the stone wall, having endured a tremendous impact, causing his entire body to explode and leaving a human silhouette on the wall.

On the ground, there was a broken plaque, which, judging from the remaining parts, was the symbol of the Great Zhou Holy Land.

"It seems this place was discovered by accident, and the formation was just activated."

The visitor guessed aloud.

The other party's previous probing methods did not seem to indicate that they had been observing for a long time.

Of course, his earlier actions were only intended to make the other party stop.

I didn't expect the other party to react so decisively.

With the formation here destroyed, it's probably not realistic to try and reverse it in the short term.

"It seems they have other methods up their sleeves."

With a soft utterance, he waved his arm, and spiritual energy swept across the space, carrying away everything he could.

Southern Region, Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.

"Mu'er, how did things go about the secret realm?"

Before the old man, Zhou Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty Zhou Mu, sat obediently cross-legged and responded:

"Father, some unexpected events have occurred, causing a slight delay, but there is still time, and there shouldn't be any further problems."

Upon hearing this, the old man turned his head towards Zhou Mu:

"Accident?"

Zhou Mu nodded:

"A traitor has emerged within our Holy Dynasty, who may have allowed an outsider to obtain the Privilege Token. The matter with Luo Zhen was about to succeed, but it was disrupted."

Upon hearing this, the old man remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"Mu'er, there are priorities. Luo Zhen's matter can be planned later. Right now, we should deal with the most urgent matter."

Zhou Mu nodded:

"Father, I understand."

"But Father, rest assured, the secret realm will still be open for another half month. As long as no further accidents occur, it will surely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mu suddenly turned his head and looked back.

There, a dark red communication talisman was heading towards him.

Zhou Mu's heart sank slightly.

Dark red is generally used when something significant has happened, and it's the kind of color that doesn't need to be considered whether the person is resting.

At that moment, he raised his hand and clamped it between his fingers.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"Mu'er, has something unexpected happened again in the secret realm?" the old man asked slowly.

Zhou Mu snapped out of his daze, remembering what he hadn't finished saying. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, his voice tinged with resentment, and said:

"Within the secret realm, the contemporary prodigy, Dai Tianfeng, has had his Soul Jade shattered."

Dai Tianfeng.

The old man read out the name, as if recalling it, and after a moment, he said:

"That young man with promising swordsmanship talent?"

Zhou Mu nodded, his expression still extremely unpleasant.

What exactly is going on in this secret realm? Dai Tianfeng is the top genius, and he has made many preparations for entering this secret realm. Originally, he was supposed to take the top spot and retrieve the Saint Artifact.

Unexpectedly, he was now being told that Dai Tianfeng was dead?!

At this moment, he desperately needed to know who had the ability and the audacity to target Dai Tianfeng.

"What a pity." The old man shook his head slightly and said to Zhou Mu:

"This matter needs to be investigated. You can make the arrangements."

"Some forces in the Land of the Four Directions have become arrogant, and they even dare to touch the pride of our Holy Dynasty."

Zhou Mu nodded in agreement and was about to leave when the old man, as if remembering something, reminded him:

"We must find his body, or at least bring back his essence and blood."

"Father, rest assured, I will handle this matter."

After saying that, Zhou Mu quickly got up and left.

After he left, the old man let out a sigh:

"Now that the dynasty's fortunes are no longer with us, I'm afraid things will still go wrong regarding the secret realm."

As he spoke, the old man opened his eyes, revealing a distinct dark red hue within the black.

"Further preparations are needed."

On the other side, Zhou Mu sensed the location of the Soul Jade at top speed.

If I'm not mistaken, Dai Tianfeng's Soul Jade is indeed now broken in two.

Dai Tianfeng perished in the secret realm.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Mu found a way to contact Zhou Xun.

Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this!

That night, something significant happened in the secret realm.

However, such a major event is nothing compared to the younger generation of ordinary forces.

The power fluctuations caused by the so-called Eye of the Secret Realm were, to many people, merely a slight disturbance, yet also a feeling of nothing at all.

Take advantage of the darkness, when the Beast Race are less fearful and easier to kill, to hunt more Beast Race and gain light.

Furthermore, if the conditions are right, killing others as if they were Beast Race is also a viable option.

In short, whether it's a big deal or not, the prerequisite is to know.

Things we don't know are minor matters.

A night passed in the blink of an eye, and it was dawn again.

All parties continued doing what they had been doing for the past few days, just as usual.

About another hour or so passed.

Suddenly, a bell rang out from somewhere within the secret realm, its melodious sound spreading in all directions.

At the same time, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge Nine-Story Tower symbol slowly condensed in the void.

Its standards are so vast that they seem to span heaven and earth; even from hundreds of miles away, one can still vaguely see its general outline.

This scene was incredibly shocking to countless people who witnessed it firsthand.

The rumor about the Nine-Story Tower is true!

And now, it has appeared in the world!

Has the Nine-Story Tower appeared in the world?

Inside the palace, Lu Changzhi, who had just gotten up, shook his head upon hearing Gu Qingyang's telepathic message.

It's better to wake up at the right time than to wake up early.

However, Gu Chen and the others have not returned yet; we will go together when they return.

He didn't dwell on these things for very long.

Anyway, you can't rush things.

"However, now that the Nine-Story Tower has appeared, I imagine countless people will rush to get there."

With a soft whisper, Lu Changzhi thought of Zhou Xun.

Isn't this creating a perfect opportunity for Zhou Xun?

We still need to find something else for him to do.

While pondering this, Lu Changzhi focused his attention on Zhou Xun, intending to issue orders directly, but unexpectedly noticed some new memories.

"Dai Tianfeng, is he dead?"

Although Lu Changzhi wasn't entirely unprepared for this news, he was still somewhat surprised that it came so quickly.

In terms of timing, the blood aura around Dai Tianfeng at that time did not appear particularly intense.

I never expected that I wouldn't make it.

"It seems that the old lady who stays close to me still has the upper hand."

Lu Changzhi spoke softly, not dwelling on the matter further.

On the contrary, this was perfect; he didn't even need to find any other work, and Zhou Xun could focus all his attention on investigating Dai Tianfeng's cause of death.

As for the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's demand that "the body must be found, or at least the essence blood must be brought back," Lu Changzhi found it somewhat amusing.

This Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is truly a power that knows how to manage its resources; they're afraid of wasting anything.

Another part of the secret realm.

A crowd gathered, gazing at the distant Nine-Story Tower.

"The Nine-Story Tower has appeared; it seems the one found underground last night wasn't it."

"Now that it's appeared, and it's so far away, even if we rush there at full speed, we probably won't have a chance to get there first."

"That's alright. Such an important place will definitely have various restrictions. As long as there are restrictions, Dai Tianjiao will definitely perform at his best."

Someone looked towards the palace in the city and said:

"I wonder when Tianjiao will prepare to set off."

Time passed slowly, and finally, some of the more powerful individuals couldn't resist setting off for the palace to inquire about Dai Tianfeng's plans.

"Dai Tianjiao, the Nine-Story Tower has appeared in the secret realm. When shall we set off?"

After the voice faded, Dai Tianfeng's voice rang out shortly after:

"No rush, I have my own plans."
