Chapter 32

Shi Hao and the others walked to a ruined palace complex and stopped.

They stopped only because fighting sounds came from inside.

This is the technique hall and pill hall of the ancient holy land, so many people have gathered, all hoping to try their luck and see if anything is left to scoop up.

"We'll go in first; this place was the first we saw."

"You're interesting—does seeing it first make it yours?"

"Do you not know that treasures go to the capable?"

"So you're saying you're pretty good at fighting?"

Shi Hao and the others, upon entering, saw two groups facing off, both sides wounded, indicating they had just fought.

"Holy Maiden, the people from the Dongxuan Holy Land have arrived."

Hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Lan Yue Holy Land, Xie Mengxin, frowned and looked toward the newcomers.

The two sides originally facing off were evenly matched, but now a powerful opponent has arrived.

Moreover, they had just fought a battle and their stamina hasn't fully recovered.

Won't they end up letting the fisherman profit while the snipe and clam fight?

The Holy Son of Tianqing Holy Land, Mu Fan, also cautiously watched the newcomers; he had just expended a lot of energy, and his spiritual qi had only recovered to fifty percent.

"Who am I, then? It turns out to be Miss Xie and Brother Mu."

"It seems we've come at a bad time; why don't you continue?"

As the holy maidens and holy sons of the Five Great Holy Lands of the Eastern Region, they all know each other, though there's no friendship—just having heard each other's names.

"No, you've come at just the right time."

"Brother Wang, why don't we two join forces to first wipe out the Lan Yue Holy Land lot, then split the treasures?"

Mu Fan asked probing.

"You, shameless!"

Xie Mengxin, hearing Mu Fan's words, shouted angrily.

Then she looked uneasily at Wang Teng and the others.

In this situation, if those two really joined forces, our holy land's disciples—including myself—would surely all be lost in the secret realm.

Although she has a life-saving trump card given by the Holy Lord, it can only be used as a last resort.

But the other side, also being holy land people, could they possibly lack a life-saving trump card?

"Hahaha, Brother Mu, you're joking."

"Miss Xie, rest assured, I, Wang Teng, have always acted openly and honorably; I would never take advantage of someone's peril."

Hearing that, Xie Mengxin finally relaxed; as long as those two don't join forces, our side can handle the three-way standoff.

"It's just a matter of who enters first; when good things appear, they'll go to the capable."

"Like this, I see you two can't seem to decide a winner."

"I, Wang Teng, will play the good guy—I'll take over this place for the Dongxuan Holy Land; how about that?"

Hearing this, the disciples of Lan Yue Holy Land and Tianqing Holy Land all felt like they were facing a great enemy, each drawing their swords at them.

"What! Such a good method, and you actually disagree!"

"Shi Brother, what do you say we do?"

Shi Hao and the three walked forward laughing; this Brother Wang is too amusing, his acting is superb!

You want to drive them all away—just say it straight.

"Brother Wang, I think your proposal is excellent."

"We three fully agree."

What! They even have reinforcements!

Seeing the three approaching, Xie Mengxin and Mu Fan were greatly startled in their hearts.

In this secret realm, those who can ally with a holy land—even if not from a holy land—are outstanding talents.

The secret realm holds many fortuitous encounters; there's no need to waste manpower here for nothing, and besides, it's uncertain whether there are any good things inside.

Thinking this, they all intended to leave and seek elsewhere.

"Hmph, we're leaving," said Xie Mengxin, then turned and flicked her sleeves away.

The disciples of Lan Yue Holy Land also breathed a sigh of relief; having just gone through a major battle, they truly lacked the energy to fight again.

"Brother Wang, that place is yours; my Tianqing Holy Land voluntarily yields."

"Brother Wang, after we leave the secret realm, if the chance arises, I'll definitely seek you out to share drinks and enjoy ourselves."

Mu Fan said this with a grin, then called for his inner disciples to depart.

This kid is capable of great things; he understands human relations and worldly affairs!

Alright, now it's peaceful.

Let's go, Shi Brother; let's go in and have a look.

After pushing open the ruined door inside, Shi Hao and the three proceeded deeper.

Along the way it was pitch black inside; they could barely see the path, and everyone could only grope forward.

Ah! Something bit my foot!

The few walking ahead heard the rear disciple's cry and hurried over to check.

You little brat, your courage is too small.

Take a look yourself—what did you guess it was?

Ah?

That disciple lowered his head to check.

Just then I saw his foot enter the mouth of a dry skeleton.

Ah, sorry, senior brother, let's continue on our way.

After pulling his foot out, the disciple said sheepishly.

After the commotion, everyone continued forward, and as they walked they found the surroundings growing wider, and the holes in the palace ceiling made the area ever brighter.

After passing several compartments, they stopped.

Shi brother, it looks like this is the Technique Hall and Pill Hall of the Holy Land.

Wang Teng carefully examined the surroundings.

However, this place has been utterly ravaged by looting; first it suffered a great battle that left it riddled with holes.

Moreover, the disciples who entered the secret realm earlier have been fighting over what's left, so probably nothing good remains.

But no one can guarantee whether anything was missed; this place is definitely the first stop for anyone entering the secret realm.

When Shi Hao and Wang Teng arrived.

The reason only two holy lands remain is that they temporarily joined forces to drive out all who came, then they will compete for it.

So this place is still very popular.

Everyone, go look around; remember, don't hoard anything privately!

I, Wang Teng, am reasonable; if anyone hoards, I'll scold them and lecture them on reason.

Yes, Holy Son.

Twenty disciples of the East Mystic Holy Land then scattered, searching everywhere.

Let's go, Shi brother, let's also take a look.

Senior brother, this place doesn't look like it has anything good.

Shi Hao and Lin Bai were still planning to fill big bags with resources.

Don't rush, let's go check over there.

Shi Hao pointed to the secret chamber ahead.

Junior sister, come on, what are you thinking about?

Oh, let's go, senior brother.

Hua Qingyu had just been communicating with Mu Shuixian inside the ring via divine sense.

Senior, this is the Pill Hall and Technique Hall of the secret realm, but it doesn't look like there's any holy medicine at all.

Don't worry, my perception can't be wrong.

The holy medicine is right ahead; keep walking forward.

As a Great Emperor realm cultivator, Mu Shuixian's divine sense is extremely powerful, even though she is now only a remnant soul.

Nevertheless, she clearly sensed ahead something that made her spirit feel refreshed.
