Chapter 3202

Ye Liuyun and Luo Yu had no verbal communication, they were always using Transmission Voice, so they also didn't attract anyone's attention. Even if someone saw them, they just thought Ye Liuyun was tempted by Luo Yu's appearance and agreed to team up, nothing more, and no one paid much attention.

They didn't wait long before seeing several groups of many Martial Cultivators arriving one after another. Among them, the two groups had the most members and were also the strongest.

The Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan was in one of those groups, chatting and walking with a young Martial Cultivator, each of them flanked by eight Ninth Layer Early-Mid Stage guards. Behind them followed more than twenty Martial Cultivators of the Return to One Six-Seven Layers, wearing various clothes, obviously recruited.

This group also had the most Martial Cultivators at the Ninth Realm.

In another group, there were also more than ten Ninth Layer Early-Mid Stage Martial Cultivators wearing the uniforms of the Chengzhu Fu guards, obviously belonging to the local Chengzhu Fu. There were also more than ten Martial Cultivators in various clothes, all temporary members of the expedition team.

Ye Liuyun felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan, looking at him as if he had seen a resource.

He guessed that the young Martial Cultivator beside Jiang Yunhan was probably Cheng Qifeng. And the middle-aged man leading the Chengzhu Fu group was likely the son of the City Lord, Sima Qianhua. Even if Martial Cultivators from elsewhere got the news, they probably couldn't make it in time now.

Several other groups of Martial Cultivators also had over a dozen members, with varying numbers and attire, obviously hastily assembled.

Luo Yu was relatively familiar with this place, and she gave Ye Liuyun an introduction to these people's backgrounds, also confirming his guess.

"His realm has increased by another layer!"

Ye Liuyun withdrew his gaze and gave a light chuckle.

"Who? Someone you know?" Luo Yu asked Ye Liuyun, puzzled.

She thought that if Ye Liuyun knew someone, they could bring them over to make their team a bit stronger. Although they had three Ninth Layer Late Stage Monster Beasts here, their numbers were still small.

"Running into an acquaintance!" Ye Liuyun laughed: "But he doesn't recognize me!"

Luo Yu became even more curious upon hearing that. "An acquaintance who doesn't recognize you?"

Ye Liuyun smiled and immediately told Luo Yu about the Ninth Prince.

"That really is an acquaintance!" Luo Yu, upon hearing that Jiang Yunhan had been tricked by Ye Liuyun several times yet still didn't recognize him, couldn't help but chuckle. Not

Moreover, she was also very curious about Ye Liuyun's appearance, wanting to see what he really looked like.

"Is your original appearance that of the wanted poster?" Luo Yu asked via Transmission Voice.

"Mm!" Ye Liuyun nodded.

Luo Yu also thought Ye Liuyun's method of changing his appearance was very practical, so she tried to ask: "Then your method of changing appearance..."

"It must not be leaked!" Ye Liuyun immediately interjected, not giving her a chance to finish.

"Oh!" Luo Yu acknowledged and then stopped asking.

At this moment, Cheng Qifeng, Jiang Yunhan, and Sima Qianhua also noticed Ye Liuyun's group over there.

Seeing three Ninth Layer Mid-Late Stage strong cultivators and three Seventh Layer Martial Cultivators, they immediately thought of winning them over, and several people actually walked together toward Ye Liuyun's side.

"They're coming over!" Luo Yu immediately sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

"They probably want to win us over!" Ye Liuyun guessed.

As these people approached, Luo Yu was the first to stand up.

"Miss Luo, are you also going to explore the Secret Realm?" Cheng Qifeng greeted her first.

Luo Yu and her Demon Wolf old servant, in this city, also had a decent reputation due to their cultivation level; Cheng Qifeng and Sima Qianhua actually knew her.

"Miss Luo, is this young sir your friend? Won't you introduce him to us?" Sima Qianhua went straight to the point.

"Cheng Qifeng, Sima Qianhua, I've only just teamed up with this young sir..." Luo Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

She didn't know how to introduce Ye Liuyun, fearing she might reveal his identity.

Ye Liuyun then stood up and took over the conversation: "I am Li Xiaoyao, not a local; I happened to pass by here, and upon hearing that the Secret Realm was about to open, I teamed up with Miss Luo, preparing to enter the Secret Realm together. May I ask what business you have with us?"

"I am Cheng Qifeng, pleased to meet you!" Cheng Qifeng greeted Ye Liuyun.

Jiang Yunhan merely nodded at Ye Liuyun without speaking. He had no connections here; he came to make friends with these aristocratic families, so his arrogance had been greatly restrained, but he also wouldn't proactively greet strangers.

"Oh, so Mr. Li isn't a local—no wonder I didn't recognize you! I'm Sima Qianhua, heir of the Chengzhu Fu. Mr. Li, Miss Luo, why not join us to hunt for treasure? More people means better support!" Sima Qianhua directly invited Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Qifeng immediately brought up the Ninth Prince, introducing him to Ye Liuyun: "Mr. Li, Miss Luo, this is the Ninth Prince of the Fire Seal Dynasty, Jiang Yunhan!"

Ye Liuyun also had to return the greeting to Jiang Yunhan, not wanting to expose his identity too early.

"The Ninth Prince and I have formed an expedition team, which is also the strongest in strength. Mr. Li, if you want more people for safety, why not join us?" Cheng Qifeng also immediately invited.

"Hmph, what's the use of more people? Treasure hunting relies on luck!" Sima Qianhua immediately retorted.

"The Ninth Prince, being a prince, surely doesn't have worse luck than you?" Cheng Qifeng fired back. It seems these two usually don't get along.

Ye Liuyun also didn't want to listen to their argument, so he forced a smile to interrupt them: "I appreciate your high regard, but I think a treasure-hunting team shouldn't be too large, otherwise distributing any found treasure would be difficult."

We'll just go our separate ways for now; if we meet inside the Secret Realm and need a hand, we can still help each other."

Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't want to join either of their groups, Cheng Qifeng and Sima Qianhua naturally stopped arguing, didn't press him, and at least didn't want to make him an enemy; they exchanged a few polite remarks and then withdrew.

After they left, Luo Yu then transmitted a voice to him: "Li Xiaoyao, your name is really well chosen."

"It's not my name; I'm just posing as a scion of a clan!" Ye Liuyun was blunt, with no attempt to hide it.

At the entrance to the Secret Realm, the crowd grew larger and livelier; he could no longer cultivate, so he simply chatted idly with Luo Yu while waiting to enter the Secret Realm.

"Are there any heirs of your dynasty who have previously entered this Secret Realm?" Ye Liuyun worried that all the treasures might have already been taken.

"Every generation enters before reaching the Return to One Nine Layers Late Stage to search for that technique, yet no one has ever come out. I'm also worried that the dangers inside might have changed, so I wanted to find help to at least make things safer." Luo Yu replied.

"Did the previous Vast Heaven Dynasty have any Martial Cultivators who broke through to the Taixu Realm?" Ye Liuyun asked Luo Yu, wanting to know whether the technique she sought would be useful.
