Chapter 307: Disagreement
Appearing here was a middle-aged man who gave off a refined and scholarly feeling, but at this very moment, everyone present collectively lost their voices, silent as cicadas in winter.
It was simply because this person's identity was too special; he was the highest administrative manager of Daxia, a ninth-rank Martial Saint, nicknamed the Eastern Brain—Liang Zhongshu!
At this time, Bai Muyuan's eyes lit up, and he headed straight for Liang Zhongshu: "Uncle Liang, you're here."
Liang Zhongshu gave a faint "hmm," with no intention of talking to him at all.
He walked straight to Chen Fan, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
"You are Chen Fan, right?"
"Yes, Lord Liang Saint." Chen Fan bowed slightly, answering neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Liang Zhongshu looked him up and down, his eyes full of appreciation: "Truly a dragon among men, no wonder Ye Wentian speaks so highly of you."
Beside him, Ye Tingxuan also hurriedly said respectfully: "Hello, Uncle Liang."
"Haha, Tingxuan is growing more and more beautiful now." At this moment, Liang Zhongshu seemed like a kind elder.
Bai Muyuan watched this, his heart filled with extreme resentment and jealousy.
He was the only son of Bai Sheng, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, pampered since childhood, and had caused many disasters. Liang Zhongshu had never liked him, and if it weren't for the sake of Bai Sheng, he would have been slapped to death long ago.
But seeing Liang Zhongshu being so close to Chen Fan and Ye Tingxuan, his heart was filled with jealousy, and the look in his eyes toward Chen Fan and Ye Tingxuan carried madness and cruelty.
At this time, after Liang Zhongshu finished speaking with Chen Fan and the other, he surveyed the crowd.
"I think many of you are curious why Russia ceded 5 quotas for entering the Lingze Secret Realm to our Daxia? Now I can clear up your confusion."
"It is because Chen Fan captured the sixth princess of Russia, and we used this as a bargaining chip to exchange for five quotas."
"Therefore, many of you should thank Chen Fan; without him, you wouldn't have obtained these quotas for the Lingze Secret Realm. So, in the Lingze Secret Realm, I hope you will help Chen Fan as much as you can; he needs more Soul Spirit Fruits to recover from his injuries."
Hearing this, a trace of emotion arose in Chen Fan's heart.
At this time, in the crowd, some looked at Chen Fan with gratitude, while others pretended not to see, their faces showing no change at all.
At this moment, Liang Zhongshu took out some palm-sized metal tokens and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"The Lingze Secret Realm is located in the Extreme North Snow Plains, guarded by the Snow Plains People. The tokens in your hands are the credentials for entering the secret realm. The Snow Plains People only recognize the tokens, not the people, so this item must be kept well."
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly put them away.
At this time, Liang Zhongshu snapped his fingers lightly, and a huge strange beast flew in front of everyone.
"This is my beast pet, the ninth-rank Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng; it will carry you to the Extreme North."
Everyone looked at the behemoth in front of them, all acting cautiously.
"Get on!" Liang Zhongshu urged from the side.
Everyone dared not move, so Chen Fan took the lead and teleported onto the back of the Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng.
Only then did the others dare to jump on one after another.
Liang Zhongshu said: "After the Fierce Peng delivers you to the Lingze Secret Realm, it will return, and it will come to pick you up in 15 days."
After saying that, he patted the head of the Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng.
The next moment, the Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng soared into the sky.
It carried everyone all the way north, crossing Siberia, until reaching the Extreme North.
This was an endless white snow plain.
The Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng flew for another hour, and a huge square appeared in front of them.
On the square, more than a hundred people were gathered, mostly in groups of two or three, looking nervous.
Ye Tingxuan patted Chen Fan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and whispered: "Little Junior Brother, we're here."
Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked down; these people were basically sixth-tier late-stage or sixth-tier peak cultivation, clearly people from various countries who had come to participate in the Lingze Secret Realm.
At this time, the people on the square also saw the huge figure circling in the air and immediately began to discuss.
"Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng? This should be Daxia's team, right?"
"Why are there 15 people? Didn't Daxia only have ten quotas?"
"Didn't you see that Russia only sent 5 people? I heard Russia ceded five quotas to Daxia this year?"
"Oh? There's such a thing?"
While everyone was puzzled, they also became vigilant.
Some weak countries could only get one quota, while top powers like Daxia had 10 quotas.
But this year Daxia brought 15 people, which meant Daxia would be the strongest force this year!
At this time, in a corner of the square, in a team of five, Diana's face was extremely ugly.
She stared fixedly at Chen Fan, killing intent rising in her eyes.
To save her, the Tsar had voluntarily ceded five quotas for entering the Lingze Secret Realm, which made her a laughingstock among her brothers and sisters.
"Chen Fan, I must make you look good when I enter the Lingze Secret Realm!" She gritted her teeth, a fierce look appearing on her beautiful face.
The Blazing Heaven Fierce Peng landed on the open space outside the square, dropped everyone off, and then rushed into the clouds, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At this time, a woman nearly three meters tall walked over.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jenny. Please show your tokens for inspection?"
Chen Fan recognized at a glance that this person was a Snow Plains Person; the most prominent feature of the Snow Plains People was their tall stature, with an average height of about three meters.
Everyone hurriedly took out their tokens, and after Jenny verified their authenticity one by one, she stepped aside.
Chen Fan stood on the square and looked around; there was no entrance to an other-dimensional space here, so he frowned and asked.
"Senior Jenny, I would like to ask where the entrance to the Lingze Secret Realm is?"
Jenny smiled and pointed to the distance: "The Lingze Secret Realm is located 100 kilometers north of here. It hasn't opened yet. After half an hour, when the Lingze Secret Realm opens, a purple halo will appear over there. At that time, all of you will depart from here and head to the Lingze Secret Realm."
Chen Fan was surprised; why not let everyone wait outside the Lingze Secret Realm, but let everyone wait 100 kilometers away?
Jenny smiled and didn't answer, instead going to meet the newly arrived team on her own.
Beside him, Bai Muyuan couldn't help but mock: "Kid? You don't even know this? The Lingze Secret Realm is like this every time it opens. Everyone departs from here; whoever is faster will be the first to rush into the secret realm, and whoever will be able to find the Soul Spirit Grass sooner."
He appeared extremely confident, clearly very confident in his speed.
"Tingxuan, I specially got a pair of SS-grade Gale Battle Boots. If you are willing, I can take you along."
Saying this, he deliberately showed off the shoes he was wearing.
Only then did Chen Fan notice that Bai Muyuan was wearing a pair of top-tier battle boots.
Ye Tingxuan shook her head gently, expressionless: "No need."
"Ungrateful!" Bai Muyuan snorted coldly and called to the three Qiongxiao Army members beside him: "Let's go, go over there; Kane Reid from the United States is my friend, let's go say hello."
The Qiongxiao Army members left, and the four from the University Alliance also left together, clearly unwilling to get too close to Chen Fan to avoid being drawn into the vortex of conflict between the Zhenyuan Army and the Qiongxiao Army.
On Daxia's side, there was one more person named Lei Tian; he came from the Jingmo Army of the Northwest Military Region and was a disciple of the White-Clad War God, Luo Zhangsheng.
On the way, after Chen Fan learned of his identity, he immediately felt a sense of affinity.
After all, if judged from Tian Xiong's side, Luo Zhangsheng could be considered his half-uncle. ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
