"Congratulations, Manager Lin! It seems we will soon be able to open the secret realm and display the might of Yunxiao!"
After he finished speaking, the expectation in Zhong Kangshun's eyes grew even stronger.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "No rush, I have something else to do. We'll talk about it when I get back. It shouldn't take long."
It was that 'task' that came at just the right time. Two years ago, Lin Xiuyuan successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and now his realm is almost stable. Although it is not completely stable, only a little bit remains, which is close enough.
After a pause, Lin Xiuyuan looked at Pang Hongbo and asked, "I wonder if the reinforcements sent by the sect have arrived yet?"
Pang Hongbo nodded, "Yes, they arrived several years ago and are currently in Shuoyang City, waiting to join us."
Before going into seclusion, Lin Xiuyuan instructed Pang Hongbo to seek help from the sect after the ten-year grand competition at Zizhu Peak, and to dispatch a group of Xuanmai disciples.
Lin Xiuyuan decided on a defensive strategy, but he also took into account the situation when he launched another attack.
These disciples of the Xuanmai lineage will play a significant role.
"Good, then we can leave the secret realm once I return."
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the secret realm passage.
Seeing this, Pang Hongbo's expression remained unchanged, while He Chengji, Zhong Kangshun, and the others all showed expressions of joy.
When the three families learned of this news, they were just as overjoyed as He Chengji and Zhong Kangshun.
After all, they are all stakeholders; the interests of the three families and the local officials like He Chengji all lie in the resource area.
As for the protectors like Zhong Kangshun and Xu Zeda, they would also gain a lot of merit for doing this job well. Especially since they brought out so many rare and precious treasures from Hengyang Secret Realm, they were qualified to compete for them. For the protectors, the main competition was based on merit.
Shuoyang City remained as usual. Although the outer city was much more chaotic, with many cultivators occasionally arguing or fighting, they generally did not engage in combat within the city.
The further in you go, the more peaceful the bustling streets become, where various chambers of commerce and shops gather.
It seemed somewhat out of place amidst the chaotic situation at Fengxia Mountain.
But this is normal; most of the caravans from various chambers of commerce pass through this city to enter and exit the three realms.
The competition now is for resources; how can we succeed if we can't transport them out or bring them in?
Naturally, there are unwritten rules that prevent conflicts from involving this place.
It can be considered the only safe place for cultivation in Fengxia Mountain.
Using the Void Concealment Technique, Lin Xiuyuan quietly left the Black Tide Secret Realm under everyone's watchful eyes.
At this moment, they arrived at the gate of a quiet mansion in the city.
As the divine sense probed inside, the person's expression froze for a moment, then gradually revealed a smile.
"Oh, it's good to have an acquaintance here. This woman is very skilled in formations. It's good to have her around. I thought the Han family would cause trouble and send some disciples with lower skills!"
