Chapter 675: Secret Realm

Ye Yuan guessed that it was Luo Li who came. He stood up and asked, "Why are you here?"

Luo Li curled her lips slightly and said generously, "The Territory Lord hasn't returned for a long time. We were a little worried, so we came to check on him."

Xiao Yi's gaze slowly shifted over and he said calmly, "Hey, who are these two?"

Ye Yuan frowned slightly, but before he could say anything, Luo Li said directly, "Of course it's the contestant from Jinglong Territory."

There was a lingering sense of hostility between Ye Yuan's brows, which intertwined with the cold eyes of Xiao Yi opposite him to form an invisible net.

There seemed to be lingering fluctuations of soul power in the air, and the scrolls and ancient books scattered on the table hinted at the intensity of the argument just now.

Luo Li glanced over and accidentally met Xiao Yi's eyes. An imperceptible spark quietly burst out between the two of them, but was quickly swallowed up by the solemnity in the room.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow at her and scoffed, "Lord Ye, are you here to have fun? You let a one-star soul king be the main force?"

Ye Yuan said bluntly, "Why do you care about me? Lord Xiao, if you have time, why don't you go and take a look at those misshapen melons and cracked dates in your house?"

Luo Li looked at him calmly, "Are you the Lord of Wangchuan Territory?"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Luo Li's attitude when talking to him.

Luo Li's expression remained unchanged. She raised her palms upwards, and a stream of water passed directly from the side of Xiao Yi's face at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

The water droplets drew a crystal arc in the air, bringing with it a biting chill, as if they could freeze the air.

Xiao Yi's face changed slightly, and his body instantly moved sideways, narrowly avoiding this sudden attack.

The water blade landed on the stone table, instantly cutting the long table in half with a crisp sound, and the air around it seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Xuanming True Water..." Xiao Yi paused, his index finger touching his cheek, leaving a trail of blood. His eyes were cold, "You are so brave!"

Luo Li covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Ah, Lord Xiao, are you okay? Look at me, I'm not strong enough to be a one-star soul king. My hands are shaking. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Di Xuanming smiled as he followed her words, "How could that be? Master Xiao Yu is a rare talent, so he wouldn't blame us for such a small matter."

"Of course." Ye Yuan said solemnly, his hands behind his back. "What do you think, Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Yi looked at the two men with the words "If you dare to blame her, I will beat you" in their eyes, gritted his teeth and smiled, "Of course."

He exhaled sharply, looked at Ye Yuan, and said, "Lord Ye, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? How much do you know about the inside story of this continental competition?"

Ye Yuan said bluntly, "Look at what you said. If I don't offend you, will you say it?"

Xiao Yi was stunned, because of course he wouldn't!

Ye Yuan's lips curled up into a playful smile, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He slowly approached Xiao Yi and whispered, "Inside story? Humph, that's just empty talk."

He looked down at Xiao Yi, "I, Ye Yuan, have no right to be judged by others. But you, Xiao Yi, don't tell me you really think your little tricks can destroy my Jinglong Domain. We are well aware of the situation today, and you'd better not let me catch you."

After saying that, he patted Xiao Yi's shoulder gently, turned around and left. His back looked particularly aloof, as if everything was under control. "Let's go."

Luo Li and Di Xuanming also turned around and left upon seeing this. After all, their identities outside were just ordinary contestants, and Ye Yuan was the lord of Jinglong Domain.

Xiao Yi stood there, watching the three figures walking away, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan, I want to see if you can still be so arrogant after the continental competition is over!

On the other side, the three of them left the Domain Lord's Mansion and walked towards Qiluofang.

Di Xuanming's brows furrowed slightly. "Ye Yuan, what exactly happened? Is it because of the Continental Tournament?"

Ye Yuan hung his head and nodded, "That's right."

He rubbed his hair, looking annoyed. "I also heard this from the Lord of the Tianluo Territory. This time, the secret realm is not only related to the gods, but also to the dark world. The danger level is very high. They have prepared more than a dozen life-saving methods for the contestants, just in case there are uncontrollable accidents."

Luo Li frowned, "So, this Xiao Yi didn't tell you about this, is it just to make Jinglong Territory lose in the continental competition?"

Ye Yuan was a little depressed, "I really don't know, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried."

The wind blew up the fallen leaves on the roadside, making rustling sounds, as if they were also expressing anxiety.

Emperor Xuanming's steps were steady, but his gaze was as deep as the abyss as he looked into the distance.

Ye Yuan was kicking stones on the side, looking up at the sky from time to time with a frown.

The Qiluofang in front was brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the heavy mood of the three people.

Occasionally, there were sounds of laughter, but they seemed to come from another world. They seemed to be wrapped in invisible pressure, and every step seemed particularly heavy.

Ye Yuan exhaled, "Alright, God, don't worry. I'll go ask other domain lords tomorrow."

Luo Li's eyes were filled with strange emotions. "The Jinglong Territory is powerful, and everyone on the continent knows it. The continental competition involves the future development of another realm. Even if you ask, they won't tell you everything."

Emperor Xuanming nodded as well. "That's right, but you should still go ask first. We in Jinglong Territory have quite a few good relationships with other realms. Even if they won't tell you everything, at least they won't hide too much."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Ye Yuan gestured, "Go back first."

When the three of them returned to Qiluofang, Feng Jiusi and the others were still waiting on the first floor. They were obviously relieved to see them come back.

"Lord, what happened?"

Ye Yuan planned to ask the other domain masters tomorrow and then tell them, so he just said, "It's nothing. Go and rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow."

As soon as Ye Yuan finished speaking, he saw a hint of doubt in the eyes of Feng Jiusi and the other two, but they still nodded.

From the incense burner in the corner of the first floor, light smoke rose, carrying a faint soothing fragrance, slowly filling the entire space, gradually easing the tense atmosphere.

Everyone dispersed one by one and returned to their rooms, leaving behind only a series of light footsteps.

The next morning, Luo Li sat by the window on the first floor, waiting for someone.

Half an hour later, a figure sneaked in from outside the door.

Seeing Luo Li sitting by the window, his eyes lit up and he ran over, "Master!"

Luo Li raised her hand and motioned for him to sit opposite her. "How is it?"

Tang Shenzhi raised his head and took a sip of water. "Yesterday, I went to deliver medicine to that Forget Worry Saint. I couldn't see anything because of the veil. Her guard took the medicine in and came out not long after, saying that the medicine was useless and sent me away."

Luo Li frowned slightly, "That's it?"
