The light slowly descended, and Lin Xiuyuan leaped off the Shattered Ice Sword. With a casual wave of his hand, the spirit sword transformed into a streak of blue light and flew into his Qiankun Bag.
"Disciple Lin Xiuyuan requests an audience with Master!"
Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his expression humble, and released his divine sense to activate the cave's array.
Before long, a divine sense swept over from inside the cave.
An aged voice sounded softly, with a hint of surprise in its tone.
"Hey, why are you back? Wasn't the secret realm open for five years... Oh right, with that mess between the righteous and demonic factions, it'll probably turn into a chaotic war in the last bit of time, right?"
Wang Yangshan let out a soft "hmm" and muttered to himself.
Then, the cave's array barrier receded.
Lin Xiuyuan strolled in and walked all the way to the end, to the secret chamber where his master was.
"You've reached the Foundation Establishment stage so quickly? Hmm, not bad. This trip is indeed an opportunity for you all. After all, it's one of the three great secret realms. Even if you do nothing, five years of hard work inside would be enough to perfect your foundation and reach the upper realm."
Wang Yangshan sized up Lin Xiuyuan and continued, "It's good that you've returned safely. It seems you do have some confidence. Even Han Chenhua couldn't do anything to you. No wonder you insisted on going in back then. Not bad, you must have earned quite a bit of merit this time, right?"
"Next, I will apply to the elders of this lineage for high-grade Jade Marrow Pills and related spiritual items for you. As for other spiritual items, the specifics will depend on your merits, but with your master backing you up, they will at least be in the upper-middle range!"
"Thank you, Master."
After bowing and saying a few words, Lin Xiuyuan continued, "This disciple has come for this very reason, but there is another matter I would like to report to Master."
"Hmm? You go ahead."
Wang Yangshan also noticed that the disciple in front of him looked a little off, as if he was about to say something of great importance.
For a moment, Wang Yangshan's eyes narrowed and focused on Lin Xiuyuan.
"It was like this: not long after entering the secret realm, Han Chenhua approached my disciple, intending to suppress me. I was no match for him and was forced to retreat with serious injuries..."
"After I recovered from my injuries and spent a few years in seclusion, I returned to our two sects' headquarters and found that, according to my fellow disciples, Han Chenhua had been missing ever since our battle. Therefore, the others, especially the disciples sent by the Han family, had always been suspicious of me..."
"As for merits, Master, there is no need to worry. My merits this time should be quite sufficient."
"Due to the situation within the secret realm, I was left to guard the base, while the main force went out..."
"But later we were targeted by the Ghost Spirit Sect, but with the help of the Crimson Cloud Sect, I joined forces with Zhu Yuanqing and cleverly used an ancient treasure I possessed to scheme against him..."
"…………"
He spoke at length, taking a full quarter of an hour, before recounting the whole story.
Lin Xiuyuan recounted everything that happened inside the secret realm to Wang Yangshan in great detail, except for the matter of killing Han Chenhua...
To find a solution, he must rely on Wang Yangshan; otherwise, he will find it difficult to overcome this crisis, and leaving the sect rashly would be tantamount to cutting off his own path to the higher realms.
This crisis gave him a very dangerous feeling.
But as long as it's handled properly, there shouldn't be any major problems getting through this.
After all, he is a prodigy of the Lingxiao lineage, and now he has demonstrated unparalleled combat power.
In the entire Southern Continent, there are only about a dozen people of this caliber, and all of them are among the top leaders of the leading sects.
The fact that he could do this without relying on a sect, and enter this category through the art of talismans, further demonstrates the terrifying nature of his talent in the art of talismans.
Even if no one is pulling strings behind the scenes, based on everything he's shown, he'll most likely be fine.
However, to prevent the Han family from resorting to desperate measures, we must prepare a response immediately. After all, Han Chenhua can be considered the future of the Han family, not to mention that the Han family is currently on the rise and is ascending to the ranks of the great families. Han Chenhua represents the foundation for laying the foundation for the future of the family. If he were to suddenly fall, anyone would seek revenge.
As long as there is no clear evidence that he intentionally killed Han Chenhua, then everything will be fine.
However, to be on the safe side, seeking Wang Yangshan's help as soon as possible is the safest way to resolve the problem and, by doing some work, help him obtain the spiritual item and break through to the Purple Mansion stage!
Once he reaches the Purple Mansion stage, given everything he has demonstrated, even if some evidence is presented at that time, the problem probably won't be too big!
After all, the competition for secret realms isn't like a sect competition; there aren't as many clear rules. Everything is just about fighting for profit!
And at this moment.
After listening to Lin Xiuyuan finish speaking, Wang Yangshan's expression was somewhat dazed, and his eyes showed a mixture of astonishment, shock, and disbelief, revealing the shock he was experiencing.
"What the hell?"
"Han Chenhua disappeared without a trace after fighting you? That could be you..."
"Furthermore, isn't that Ghost Spirit Sect's chief disciple... a genius at the invincible level? At least he has the help of a Nascent Soul expert, allowing him to touch the power of the upper realm. How could you possibly confront him head-on??"
"He even schemed and, together with the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, severely injured him on the spot??"
"It's only been a few years! You've only been in the secret realm for a few years!!"
"Are you still my disciple? You haven't been possessed, have you?!"
"Even novels and storybooks can't be written like this, right?"
Wang Yangshan stared blankly at Lin Xiuyuan, feeling a sense of strangeness and dreamlike disbelief.
Each of these events, taken out of context, is enough to shock people to the point of jaw-dropping.
