Chapter 541: Entering the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm

Tengcheng left, coming with confidence and leaving with loss.

Half an hour later, Linghua and Willow-browed left with smiles.

Linghua and Willow-browed's expressions didn't change. The only thing that could be said to have changed was that the two women knew that those in the clan who originally looked down on Lin Chen would likely suffer a big loss this time.

No wonder, no wonder the clan elders all chose silence after the princess said her fiancé was him. They likely knew Lin Chen's strength.

"Why, you defeated Tengcheng, but you don't seem very happy. Are you afraid of encountering trouble when you go to the Flower Clan?"

In the courtyard, Hearing Yin Yue saw Lin Chen standing in the courtyard thinking silently and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That's not it."

Lin Chen shook his head. Willow-browed had already told him just now that after the Jiang Jiang Shijie said her fiancé was him, the Flower Clan elders didn't express any stance but were collectively silent.

In Willow-browed's view, it was because the Flower Clan elders knew his potential and were willing to give him a chance.

But what he was thinking about was another matter.

To marry the Flower Clan princess, one needed to get the unanimous recognition of the Flower Clan. So what about his father-in-law?

His father-in-law's Martial Way talent wasn't enough to look at in the Yan Imperial Dynasty. How did his mother-in-law marry his father-in-law?

Associating this with what Hearing Yin Yue said, the former Flower Clan princess had disappeared for many years... then the answer came out.

His mother-in-law had fallen out with the Flower Clan elders.

In order to pursue love, she chose to ignore the family's opposition and went far away!

Hiss!

His mother-in-law was a romantic fool.

As for the Flower Clan elders choosing silence, he now guessed the reason.

With the precedent of his mother-in-law, these Flower Clan elders didn't dare to force her too tightly, fearing that the Jiang Jiang Shijie would learn from his mother-in-law and leave the clan directly without returning.

These Flower Clan elders were afraid!

Lin Chen also believed that since his mother-in-law dared to send the Jiang Jiang Shijie back to the clan, she must have anticipated this situation and likely reached some kind of agreement with the Flower Clan elders.

Therefore, the Flower Clan elders shouldn't block his and the Jiang Jiang Shijie's engagement.

Two days later!

Hearing Qianlang came to the courtyard to notify Lin Chen and Hearing Yin Yue that the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm was about to open today, and the elders invited everyone who wanted to enter the secret realm to go to the entrance.

At the entrance of the mountain range beneath the layered clouds, when Lin Chen and Hearing Yin Yue arrived, quite a few young people were already standing there, dozens of them at a glance.

Seeing Lin Chen's gaze look over, Linghua and Willow-browed also nodded to Lin Chen with smiles. Lin Chen also returned the smile, but Tengcheng on the side felt somewhat embarrassed, his eyes not daring to meet Lin Chen's.

A few breaths later, Lin Chen felt a gaze full of hostility, which was a giant nearly a zhang tall.

This height was slightly smaller than the giant who had chased Hearing Yin Yue earlier.

From the giant's height and the hostility revealed in his eyes, Lin Chen knew that this person should be the one sent by the traitor of the Silver Soul Clan to compete with Hearing Yin Yue for the Silver Soul Clan's treasure.

The entire scene was full of young people under thirty. Not a single elder from any clan had come.

This was the rule set by the Entropy Clan: the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm opening only allowed the younger generation to come. As for the elders of each clan, they were not allowed to come together unless they encountered extreme situations.

However, when it was not the opening of the secret realm, the Entropy Clan also welcomed powerhouses from other clans to come as guests.

Sixty-three people, a total of twenty clans sent people. It could be said that except for the other three Upper Clans and two or three relic clans, the ancient relic clans were all here this time.

This was information Hearing Qianlang told Lin Chen on the way. In terms of numbers, it far exceeded the opening of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm in the previous session. The previous session of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm opened sixty years ago, and there were only thirty-plus people entering the secret realm at that time. This time, it had almost doubled.

While Lin Chen was sizing everyone up, everyone was also sizing Lin Chen up.

The people from these relic clans didn't know about the contest between Lin Chen and Tengcheng last night, but the internal affairs of the Silver Soul Clan were no longer a secret among the major relic clans. Moreover, the reason why this Thousand-Fold Secret Realm opened early this time was because of the Silver Soul Clan, so many people's gazes also fell curiously on Lin Chen.

Regarding Lin Chen's origin, these people also knew about it; the Thousand-Fold Clan didn't hide it.

"This should be the first time a non-relic clan person has entered the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm. Is the Silver Soul Clan not afraid of being laughed at for this move?"

A young man at the scene spoke slowly, his gaze toward Lin Chen also carrying sarcasm.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and many of the young people from the various clans at the scene showed recognition when they heard this.

The Thousand-Fold Secret Realm was created by their ancestors helping the Entropy Clan ancestors. They naturally had the qualifications to enter it, but what did this Lin Chen rely on?

In their view, Princess Hearing Yin Yue's move was indeed inappropriate.

Hearing Yin Yue's face turned cold. The one speaking was from the Ice Soul Clan, and there was no grudge between the Ice Soul Clan and their Silver Soul Clan. This Ice Soul clan member suddenly speaking like this must have reached some agreement with the traitor, wanting to use this opportunity to block Lin Chen from entering the secret realm, or to make Lin Chen be excluded in the secret realm.

Just as Hearing Yin Yue was about to speak, someone beat her to it.

"Laugh at what? Did the ancestors of each clan have a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter?"

It was Tengcheng who spoke. At this moment, Tengcheng's gaze was fixed on this person, his aura aggressive: "Or do you think you can represent all the clans? I'm afraid your clan elders don't have the qualifications to say this either."

Tengcheng's opening made everyone at the scene uproar. No one expected the Flower Clan to stand up and speak for that Princess Hearing Yin Yue.

Could it be that Princess Hearing Yin Yue begged the Flower Clan?

It was also true; the Flower Clan hadn't sent anyone for the previous two secret realm openings. Why did they come this time?

It was highly likely that Princess Hearing Yin Yue had found the Flower Clan, and perhaps the Flower Clan had a favor with her father, so they sent these three to secretly help Hearing Yin Yue.

People from other clans all thought they were right, including that giant from the Silver Soul Clan, whose face instantly became ugly.

Besides this, they couldn't think of any other possibility.

As for saying that Tengcheng was standing up for Lin Chen?

In their hearts, this was absolutely impossible. The Flower Clan was an Upper Clan; Lin Chen couldn't possibly be looked upon by the Flower Clan.

These people naturally didn't know that Tengcheng was questioning this Ice Soul clan man because he had already been subdued by Lin Chen's strength. In terms of Martial Way strength and potential, Lin Chen was no worse than the three in the clan.

With strength and potential that weren't bad, and having won the princess's heart, in this situation, Lin Chen had a high probability of becoming their Flower Clan's son-in-law. Hao Jifeng toward Lin Chen was equivalent to sarcasm toward their Flower Clan.

My Flower Clan's son-in-law, is that something you Ice Soul Clan can mock?

Seeing Tengcheng stand up for him, Lin Chen was also somewhat surprised, but Tengcheng didn't respond.

Thanks.

Lin Chen gave Tengcheng a grateful look, but Tengcheng didn't respond.

Feeling Tengcheng's awkward appearance, Lin Chen also laughed dumbly. It seemed this Tengcheng was still a proud person.

With this move by Tengcheng, no matter what kind of thoughts others at the scene had about Hearing Yin Yue arranging for Lin Chen to enter the secret realm, they didn't express them anymore.

At the scene, there was a silence of more than ten breaths until the Entropy Clan Second Zhuang Laozhang appeared.

The Entropy Clan Second Zhuang Laozhang appeared, and everyone bowed.

"According to the ancestral teachings, the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm is opened today."

The Entropy Clan Second Zhuang Laozhang didn't delay. After sweeping his eyes over everyone at the scene, he waved his right hand, and three flags of different colors flew out from his sleeve, slowly heading toward the sky. Finally, the three flags burned violently in the air, turning into three fire pillars of different colors rushing toward the depths of the sky.

The clouds layered upon layers in the sky changed under the stirring of these three light pillars. All the clouds began to move, and finally, a vacuum area appeared. ===== CHAPTER 542 =====
