Finally, someone spoke up, “Brother Yang Chen, none of us will seek revenge for Yin Changhen. He brought all of this upon himself and even harmed us in the process. His death is well-deserved. When we return to our sect, we will try to explain the situation and let the elders know the truth. Now… can we leave?”
“Oh? If that’s the case, I should really thank you. As for whether you can leave or not, feel free to go anytime.” Yang Chen shrugged. “I said it before; my only target from the beginning was Yin Changhen!”
Hearing this, the disciple from Hua Long Sect let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly instructed his fellows. About a cup of tea’s time later, they finally left, supporting each other.
Once they were gone, the disciples of the Green Lotus Sect cheered.
Without a doubt, it was a complete victory.
Faced with such a victory, they had every reason to be happy!
“Yang Chen, we are so grateful to you!”
“Junior Brother Yang Chen, thank you so much!”
Yang Chen saw the gratitude in their eyes, and he smiled helplessly, “It’s nothing. This is what I should do. Now that the matter has been dealt with, let’s continue exploring further!”
His main purpose for coming here was to investigate the matter of the Slaughter God Spear. He never expected that things would take such a turn. Now that the issue was resolved, he naturally wanted to go deeper into the second floor.
Of course, they had to find the second floor first.
“Yes, we’ve spent too much time here. We should set off as soon as possible.”
“Let’s go!”
The disciples of the Green Lotus Sect all agreed.
Along the way, these disciples were very grateful to Yang Chen. Many female disciples tried to get closer to him but were politely rejected by him.
The only one Yang Chen was interested in was Qingyin. He and Qingyin were walking at the front of the team. He asked her in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Miss Qingyin, who is controlling you now…?”
“I am Li Ruoxiang!” Qingyin said calmly.
Yang Chen was astonished, “You…”
“What, are you surprised?” Li Ruoxiang, controlling her avatar Qingyin, said seriously.
Yang Chen’s face turned awkward, “Uh, no. It’s just that I’m curious. How can you control this avatar in the Secret Realm?”
“It’s different from the last time. The reason why I couldn’t control my avatar when it entered the Iron Hawk Secret Realm was that my real body was under the scrutiny of many people. I couldn’t multitask, or it would have been too easy to expose myself. But this time it’s different. Now I’m in the sect, and I can control this avatar with my whole focus,” said Li Ruoxiang.
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh, “In that case, why didn’t you make this avatar slightly stronger? You could have at least reached the True Martial Realm, right? That way, you could help share some of the burden!”
“You think I don’t want to?” Li Ruoxiang said unhappily, “The strength of this avatar doesn’t depend on its own cultivation but on my cultivation of the techniques. In other words, the speed of my avatar’s strength improvement is at least twice as difficult as a normal person’s cultivation level improvement. Back then, I was much stronger than this.”
“…” Yang Chen knew Li Ruoxiang had her reasons.
He felt quite helpless, thinking that Li Ruoxiang could help him, but now it seemed even she couldn’t be relied on.
So, led by Yang Chen and Qingyin, the whole Green Lotus Sect went deeper into the realm.
What surprised Yang Chen was that along the way, they encountered very few human teams but many demonic beasts.
In just about three days, Yang Chen had encountered at least a dozen demonic beasts with the Green Lotus Sect.
These demonic beasts were all enormous, powerful creatures that were rarely seen in the outside world.
If it was only one or two beasts, he could have considered it a coincidence.
However, encountering over a dozen demonic beasts along the way, if he still considered it a coincidence, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to justify it to himself.
Yang Chen felt it was very strange.
He had observed that these demonic beasts seemed to enjoy living in this Secret Realm as if it was their home, living comfortably and abundantly.
It was different from the Secret Realm in the Heavenly Capital Divine Country.
“If this Secret Realm is indeed man-made, then these demonic beasts are living here too comfortably. When did humans create Secret Realms that imprison demonic beasts so that they accept their fate willingly? If it’s just one or two, it could be explained that they have submitted to their human captor, but this number is too large. Have they all submitted to the master of this realm?”
Yang Chen was at a loss for answers. He felt that many things didn’t add up.
That’s why his bad feeling grew stronger, as he felt something was off but couldn’t put his finger on it.
“Is the Secret Realm as good as the rumors suggest?” Yang Chen analyzed.
In the outside world, various high-level forces believed treasure was hidden in the Secret Realm, allowing their talented disciples to enter freely.
But in reality, what they saw and gained was entirely different from what they initially anticipated.
So far, Yang Chen hadn’t found any treasures, just some ordinary exotic plants and materials from dead demonic beasts.
The value of these items was too insignificant, and probably no faction would be interested in them.
At first, Yang Chen thought it was because he had spent too much time fighting with the Huangdao Sect and Hua Long Sect. He later found out that this was a wrong thought.
It wasn’t that he wasted time, but that there were no treasures in the first floor. After all, they were not the only faction fighting over resources. Moreover, given the vastness of the first floor, were treasures so easy to grab?
There had been a minor commotion with a Swift Sawtooth Demon, which led to them being besieged by two forces. If there had been treasure, there would have been greater chaos.
Yang Chen expected that he wasn’t the only one who found these things strange, but most people probably focused on the second floor.
Everyone believed that the real treasure was in the second floor because their elders in the sect had seen it…
However, what puzzled Yang Chen was who could guarantee that the second floor had actual treasures?
All of this was an unknown.
Yang Chen always felt that what awaited him on the second floor was not a vault full of treasures but a massive conspiracy.
However, in order to uncover the mystery of the Slaughter God Spear, he resolutely headed towards the entrance of the second floor.
