Chapter 509: For the Happiness of a Rabbit's Life (Second Update, Requesting Everything)
After making his decision, Li Changsheng divided the Starlight Divine Water into two portions; one portion was used to treat the Space Ring to dissolve the Soul Imprint, and the other was carried on his person for emergencies.
Before leaving, Li Changsheng took away the Fire Flame Cat, the Red Dragon, and nearly half the remains of the thirty-armed Giant, filling nearly ten Space Rings to the brim before leaving the Fire Crystal Palace with satisfaction.
The next moment, Li Changsheng used his Mental Power to activate the Secret Realm Token, and a blinding beam of light shot out, landing on the Fire Crystal Palace.
Boom—
The Fire Crystal Palace began to sink slowly, its entire body shimmering with layers of powerful, fiery red Restrictions.
Very quickly, the ground began to close up, as if the Fire Crystal Palace had never appeared here at all.
Woo— woo—
Suddenly, the Mother Conch hanging at Li Changsheng's waist began to call out.
Due to the special nature of the Dixiagongdian, the Mother-Child Golden Conch could not function, and naturally, he could not contact Luo Jing, who held the child conch.
Having lost contact for the night, he did not know if his four teammates had encountered any danger.
"Changsheng, I've finally reached you. How are you? Did you encounter any danger?"
As soon as the connection was established, Luo Jing's urgent voice came from the Mother Conch; clearly, Li Changsheng's "disappearance" had made Luo Jing quite anxious.
It was not just Luo Jing; Li Changsheng also heard the voices of his other three teammates. It was clear they had not left the Secret Realm either.
Li Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart and said feignedly relaxed, "I'm fine, what about you all?"
"We are the same. We are heading toward the portal located in the north. Are you coming over now?"
"Mm, then I will wait for you there!"
After finishing speaking, Li Changsheng cut the connection. He did not summon Aixi and once again used his Mental Power to activate the Secret Realm Token.
The Secret Realm Token was quite miraculous; not only could it manipulate the entire Secret Realm, but it could also teleport to various locations within it.
The next moment, a bright spatial portal appeared, and Li Changsheng and Kailan, who was holding Xiaoguai, stepped into it.
By the time Li Changsheng emerged, the surrounding environment had completely changed, and a spatial portal stood before him.
As for the portal he had come through, it had already vanished.
This was the Teleportation Array located in the north of the Secret Realm; this way, Li Changsheng could wait for his four teammates with peace of mind.
While waiting, Li Changsheng began to check his gains from this trip.
The harvest was not insignificant; he had pocketed most of the benefits of the Fire Flame Secret Realm.
Among them, the most precious were the partial memories of Di Zhiyi, the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, the Original Light, the Secret Realm Token, and five Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruits; the rest went without saying.
However, he could still look forward to Liu Xudong's Space Ring.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Luo Jing and the others finally arrived. Based on the principle that everyone has secrets, even if they had their suspicions, no one asked where Li Changsheng had gone that night.
After regrouping, the five of them stepped into the portal one after another and vanished in an instant.
From the third day on, the heads of the five major powers stared at the portal at all times, their expressions filled with tension.
There was no helping it; these were the most outstanding Heavenly Pride of each major power. They would ache for a long time for the loss of even one, and if they all perished, it could lead to a generational gap.
If it were any other opportunity, they naturally would not have made such a choice, but the inheritance of a King was too important, which was the reason they had to do this.
Suddenly, the portal rippled, and immediately after, a figure appeared.
The heads of the five major powers looked over in unison; it was a youth wearing the attire of the Tiantai Sect.
Zuo Qiulin wore a look of joy and hurriedly welcomed the youth over. Behind Zuo Qiulin were three other Tiantai Sect Heavenly Pride.
The Tiantai Sect only had five spots in total, and now four had come out; this already exceeded Zuo Qiulin's expectations.
As for the other four major powers, Yuanling Academy was the most miserable, with only one person—Qian Zhi, who had not regrouped with Li Changsheng and the others.
After entering the Fire Flame Secret Realm, Qian Zhi had hidden himself, stubbornly enduring the temptation for a day before leaving his hiding spot to start scavenging for Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure on the edge of the Secret Realm.
When Li Changsheng sounded the Xi Rat Drum, Qian Zhi naturally heard it, but he was unusually cautious by nature and did not go to regroup with Li Changsheng and the others, continuing to sweep the edges of the Secret Realm as he pleased.
By the third day, Qian Zhi felt that the Heavenly Pride of the major powers would soon return, so he left the Secret Realm a step early; he was also the first Heavenly Pride to leave the Secret Realm.
Of course, his harvest was not large, because many Heavenly Pride would pick up nearby Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure on their way to the central area.
While waiting, time slowly passed, and more and more Heavenly Pride left the Secret Realm. Everyone's expressions were different; some were beaming with joy, some were dejected, and others showed expressions of relief.
However, everyone had gains; after all, this was the first "land reclamation" of the Fire Flame Secret Realm.
At the same time, being able to leave the Secret Realm safely was undoubtedly a fortunate thing, unlike the many Heavenly Pride who had fallen inside.
Unknowingly, the time reached nine o'clock in the morning, with only three hours left of the three-day deadline.
Xu Wenhua and Ning Bizhen both revealed expressions of unease, because only Qian Zhi from Yuanling Academy had left the Secret Realm.
Up to this point, Yuanling Academy had the fewest Heavenly Pride to emerge among the five major powers.
The second fewest was the Langya Liu Clan, with only three people emerging, and they were all Third Rank Heavenly Pride.
However, Liu Zongtang and Liu Xuguang did not have much of a worried expression; this was not only because they were full of confidence in Liu Xudong, but also because they knew Liu Xudong's main goal for this trip to the Secret Realm.
As long as he obtained the Flame King's inheritance, the Langya Liu Clan could very likely restore the glory of their ancestors and have the protection of a King.
It was also at this moment that the portal flickered again. A figure had just stepped out when a second figure appeared, and so it repeated continuously until four people walked out together.
That's right, they were Li Changsheng and the other three.
Seeing the four return, the high-level members of Yuanling Academy all revealed expressions of great joy and hurriedly welcomed them.
Not far away, Liu Xuguang pursed his lips; he had originally thought it would be their people coming out, and the result was a great disappointment.
Liu Zongtang remained calm and composed, but a sense of unease inexplicably arose in his heart. He had naturally learned some information from the three Liu Clan Heavenly Pride who had emerged.
Among them, what shocked him most was that Li Changsheng had suppressed Dou Yuanbiao head-on.
If even Dou Yuanbiao was suppressed by Li Changsheng, it went without saying for Liu Xudong.
Now that both Li Changsheng and Dou Yuanbiao had emerged, only Liu Xudong had not appeared, and this was the source of his unease.
After exchanging a few words with Ning Bizhen, Li Changsheng then handed a Space Ring to Xu Wenhua.
"Principal, this is Senior Brother Zhou's Space Ring; his remains are inside!"
Xu Wenhua's expression changed drastically, his gray hair fluttering without wind. He narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "Who killed him?"
"The Langya Liu Clan, but I have already avenged Senior Zhou!"
Xu Wenhua felt deeply pained, but still said: "Hmm, you rest for a moment, I will go seek justice for Zhou Xiang later."
Li Zhangsheng felt in his heart that Xu Wenhua was likely to be disappointed; after all, the Langya Liu Clan was so miserable, so miserable that Xu Wenhua would likely be unable to even open his mouth later.
Of the ten Heavenly Prides of the Langya Liu Clan, only these three remained, and they were all Third Rank Heavenly Prides; coupled with the failure of their schemes, this could no longer be described as merely miserable.
"Bizhen, since everyone has come out, why don't we head back first?"
Li Zhangsheng used his Mental Power to secretly transmit his voice to Ning Bizhen; he had killed a full five Langya Liu Clan Heavenly Prides, including Liu Xudong and two Fourth Rank Heavenly Prides, and he was terrified that the Langya Liu Clan had a Secret Technique to track him down.
This was also unavoidable; the Langya Liu Clan was so miserable that they likely needed to vent, and the target would very likely be Yuanling Academy.
Do not ask why, because among the forty Heavenly Prides who entered, only Li Zhangsheng and Dou Yuanbiao possessed the ability to defeat Liu Xudong, so they were naturally the primary targets of suspicion.
Dou Yuanbiao was the Seventh Prince of the Imperial Family, and the Langya Liu Clan would have to be bored out of their minds to make a move against him; bullying the weak and fearing the strong was only natural.
In this way, wouldn't their target for venting be Li Zhangsheng?
"That works, I will discuss it with Principal Xu first."
Ning Bizhen had been with Li Zhangsheng for a long time and naturally sensed Li Zhangsheng's worry, so she naturally had no thoughts of objecting.
Soon, Xu Wenhua nodded in agreement.
But just as Ning Bizhen was preparing to take Li Zhangsheng and the others to leave, Liu Xuguang blocked them directly.
"The time has not yet ended, no one is allowed to leave!"
Ning Bizhen pointed at the other three major powers and asked in return: "Can you represent the others?"
Zuo Qiulin did not speak, still maintaining a calm and composed appearance.
Sun Min crossed her arms, her gaze falling intentionally or unintentionally on the Third Prince, Dou Yuanbin.
Dou Yuanbin did not know what he was thinking, but said: "I agree with Brother Liu's statement."
Ning Bizhen glared at Dou Yuanbin, but since the situation was stronger than the person, she had to gloomily abandon her plan to leave.
Li Zhangsheng remained expressionless; the situation was stronger than the person, but he still noted down the evil deeds of Dou Yuanbin and Liu Xuguang in his little notebook.
At the same time, he was also pondering countermeasures in his heart.
With Xu Wenhua and Ning Bizhen protecting him here, even if he truly could not resist, he still had the opportunity to re-enter the Fire Flame Secret Realm.
It was just that he could not close the entrance to the Fire Flame Secret Realm; he was not an Emperor Rank, and he did not have the ability to move the entrance. Not to mention the Dark Night King, even an ordinary Emperor Rank could forcibly enter the Secret Realm.
What Li Zhangsheng relied on was the age restriction of the Fire Flame Secret Realm entrance; those whose age exceeded Liu Xudong's could not enter at all.
It was just that this was his final retreat; after all, he could not stay in the Fire Flame Secret Realm forever. Besides, who knew if the Langya Liu Clan would spare no cost to invite an Emperor Rank, and what would he do then?
Retreating into the Secret Realm was undoubtedly the worst strategy; he could not entrust his fate to others.
"Changsheng, leave Xiaoyu in your care for the time being."
Ning Bizhen summoned the Cold Jade Rabbit and stuffed it into Li Zhangsheng's arms.
The Cold Jade Rabbit pretended to be well-behaved as it lay in Li Zhangsheng's arms, staring at Ning Bizhen with its large, jewel-like eyes, and extended its right paw.
"Five Purple Jade Radishes, deal!"
How could Ning Bizhen not know the implication of the Cold Jade Rabbit? However, she still exhorted it one more time: "Xiaoyu, you must protect Changsheng's safety well, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have any radishes to eat in the future."
Ning Bizhen spoke solemnly, and the Cold Jade Rabbit's fur stood on end; images of braised rabbit head, stir-fried rabbit, and braised rabbit involuntarily surfaced in its mind.
Bunnies are so cute; if a bunny doesn't eat carrots, can it still be a bunny?
It nodded vigorously, revealing a rare, fierce look in its eyes.
Whoever dares to interfere with a bunny's happiness, let them die!
