Han Xing couldn't wait to take people to the mysterious palace to find out what was going on.
However, there is one last hidden danger.
He looked at the Bauhinia Divine Lord beside him, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Han Xing's gaze, this woman who had struggled in the Western Regions for so many years and even achieved the status of a mid-level God Lord immediately understood what he meant.
She lowered her head, glanced at Han Xing out of the corner of her eye, and asked softly, "Lord Han Xing, do you not trust me and are worried that I will betray you?"
"That's right."
Han Xing nodded and said, "You are from the Western Regions, and you are quite powerful and scheming."
"Besides, we haven't been with you for long and don't know you well."
"so……"
His voice grew colder, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
There was also a hint of vigilance in the eyes of others when they looked at the Lord of Bauhinia.
Locked in by Han Xing's undisguised suspicion and murderous intent, the Bauhinia Goddess's delicate body trembled slightly.
A hint of paleness appeared on the beautiful face, but more of it was a kind of understanding and calmness.
She took a deep breath, and instead of retreating or getting angry, she met Han Xing's gaze and slowly raised her head.
"It's normal for Lord Han Xing to be suspicious."
Her voice was still pleasant, but with a hint of determination. "I am indeed from the Western Regions, and I have also been navigating various forces for survival and resources."
"If I were in their shoes, I would also find it hard to trust an outsider with unknown origins."
At this point, she changed the subject: "But I can join your territory and become one of your territory heroes."
"From now on, I will become your most loyal warrior, and my life and death will depend on your will."
Hearing this, everyone on the field looked excited and felt a little unbelievable.
After all... this is quite an amazing condition...
Once you become a hero in someone else's territory, everything is under the control of the lord.
And without the lord's permission, they cannot escape in this life and must serve the lord for life.
If the lord dies, she will also die.
This proposal is like putting his life completely in the hands of Han Xing.
Therefore, if the Lord of Bauhinia truly surrenders, then there is no need to worry about the issue of loyalty.
At this time, Linghui on the side looked at the other person with a strange expression.
As a woman, her sixth sense seemed to make her realize something.
"You have only met Lord Han Xing twice, and you have only had brief exchanges."
"Before, you even cut through the chains of the natural moat, intending to put us to death."
"Why are you willing to make such a huge sacrifice at this moment, even giving up all your freedom, just to gain his trust?"
"It seems... this isn't just about staying alive, right?"
Her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts, and she hinted at a possibility: "Or... you just think Han Xing is extremely powerful and has an amazing background, so you want to get close to him?"
This question was asked quite directly, making the atmosphere on the field suddenly become a little subtle.
Everyone's eyes flickered back and forth between Han Xing and Bauhinia Divine Lord.
Having her thoughts exposed so bluntly, the Bauhinia Goddess showed no shame or embarrassment on her beautiful face. Instead, she nodded calmly.
"This sister is very observant, and what she said... is not entirely unreasonable."
She frankly admitted, "Lord Han Xing is so young, yet he already possesses the terrifying power to defeat a mid-level Divine Lord. He is also the direct disciple of the Eternal Existence... Such a person is destined to stand at the top of the Lord Continent in the future, illuminating the five regions."
"Being able to follow under the command of such an existence is a rare opportunity for me."
"Seeking profit and avoiding harm, relying on the strong, this is the way to survive. I don't think there is anything shameful about it."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious: "But besides these, there is another more important reason."
"I want to repay Lord Han Xing for saving my life twice!"
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they knew what she meant by the two life-saving favors.
The first time was in the Tianqian area. Han Xing did not kill the Bauhinia Goddess, but instead removed the poison of the Heart-Eating Demonic Python from her body.
The second time was when Han Xing rescued her while rescuing the other team members.
At the same time, the voice of the Bauhinia Divine Lord continued to ring out: "Although I was born in the Western Regions and am accustomed to fighting and betrayal, I also understand the meaning of gratitude and righteousness."
"Therefore, I am willing to repay Lord Han Xing's kindness with my life."
"Besides that, I also want to have the opportunity to follow a strong person, perhaps to have a greater chance."
Her words were sincere and frank. She acknowledged her appreciation for the potential and status of Korean stars, and also expressed her gratitude and desire to repay the life-saving grace without reservation.
This actually dispelled most of the doubts in everyone's minds.
Han Xing stared at the Bauhinia God and pondered for a moment.
I have to say that her proposal is indeed the best solution at present.
In this way, not only will there be no need to worry about the Bauhinia God Lord's betrayal, but he can also be transformed into one's own combat power.
After all... as a mid-level God Lord, this woman's combat power is still quite powerful!
After a moment, Han Xing nodded slowly: "Okay, let's do it."
"You join my territory and become a hero under my command."
Hearing this, a sincere smile appeared on the face of Lord Bauhinia, and there was also a hint of relief.
She said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Han Xing!"
However, Lord Linghui looked at the expression on Lord Zijing's face and felt a sense of crisis for no apparent reason...
That sense of crisis was very special, as if there was suddenly another person competing for one's beloved thing.
Realizing this, Lord Linghui was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
She glanced at everyone secretly, and when she found that no one noticed her expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Han Xing slowly stretched out his hand, and an invisible contract slowly condensed.
"Relax your mind and don't resist."
"Yes, my lord." The Lord of Bauhinia bowed his head respectfully and completely relaxed his body and mind.
The contract sank into her brow, and an invisible connection was established between the two.
Immediately afterwards, the system prompt appears.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully recruiting a new hero! ]
[Redbud Lord: Xiali Redbud Flower lv145, a mid-level Redbud Lord creature has joined your territory!]
[New troop type in the territory +1]
…
The moment the prompt ends, the contract is officially established.
From then on, the life and death, honor and disgrace of the Lord of Bauhinia all depended on Han Xing's thoughts.
At this moment, Lord Bauhinia breathed a long sigh of relief, and became more calm and reserved.
The look he gave Han Xing was filled with absolute respect.
"Get up."
Han Xing said calmly, "Since we are one family now, all previous grudges will be written off."
"Just serve me well from now on."
"Yes, my lord!" The Lord of Bauhinia responded respectfully, his tone very natural.
He didn't feel any resentment at all because the Korean star was of lower rank or younger than him.
It's a very natural name.
At this point, the last hidden danger has been temporarily eliminated.
Han Xing didn't delay any longer and said in a deep voice, "We've already been here for most of the day. According to our calculations, the lord from the other side of the chasm should be coming in soon."
"Without further delay, let's head to that temple immediately!"
Everyone nodded in unison and collected their thoughts.
Then, following Han Xing, they transformed into inconspicuous streaks of light and quietly headed towards the deepest part of the secret realm, the legendary land.
…
…
Tianchi Lake is vast and boundless. The deeper you go, the more primitive and chaotic the surrounding water becomes.
Waves of devastating waves, enough to drown the world, rise up, blocking all vision!
Fortunately, everyone had experience in dealing with such huge waves before, so they were not panicked at all.
With their orderly cooperation, all crises along the way were easily resolved.
After a period of shuttle, we crossed over huge lotus leaves.
They finally reached the end of Tianchi Lake.
In the mist ahead, one can vaguely see the outline of a palace made entirely of some white jade-like material.
It seems to exist in another dimension, looming and exuding an ancient and vast atmosphere.
Everyone carefully sensed the aura of the palace and found it very strange.
Because, this palace seemed to exist here, but when they carefully sensed it, they could not feel anything.
Just like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, it looks very close, but it is always out of reach.
Including various detection spells cast on it, they were like a stone sinking into the sea.
Han Xing gave the order in a deep voice: "Search separately and see if you can find a way to enter the temple."
"Keep in touch during this time and regroup here in half an hour."
After hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly, then turned into streams of light and scattered in all directions.
Then, they each used their own methods to carefully explore the area around the palace, trying to find a place to enter.
The Beast Lord summoned thunder and tried to bombard the phantom of the palace, but the lightning passed through as if it had hit an illusion.
Lord Linghui's sword energy was powerful, but it was like a drop in the ocean.
Including the Lord of Bauhinia, she also released the [Bauhinia Divine Domain]. Countless vines grew from her body, completely resetting the surrounding area of several light years!
The vines covered every corner, even some hidden spaces.
Han Xing pushed his spiritual power to the extreme, and the shadow of a clock appeared in his pupils.
Even using time perception, it is still difficult to capture the exact coordinates of the palace, as if it is beyond time.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
Everyone gathered at the original location again, with a look of helplessness and frustration on their faces.
"No... I can't find any entrance at all. I can't even sense any energy fluctuations. It's as if it doesn't exist at all." The Beast Lord shook his head helplessly.
"Me too, it feels like this is a complete illusion." Tu Gang agreed.
After hearing this, Han Xing sighed softly, "It is indeed a temple that has never been opened by anyone. It is indeed extraordinary."
"It's a bit troublesome..."
Everyone frowned, thoughts flashing through their minds quickly.
After all, according to calculations, they don't have much time left.
If we can't find the entrance to the palace before the group of gods from the Western Regions arrive, we will have no choice but to leave the secret realm.
However... the outside of the secret realm is now like a den of dragons and tigers.
No one knows how many terrifying high-level god-level beings are waiting for them outside.
Just when everyone was at a loss, sisters Qinghe and Yaolian looked at each other.
A strange light flowed in the emerald and blood-red eyes at the same time. They seemed to sense something, and their eyes all looked towards the illusory palace, and then turned to Han Xing at the same time.
"Lord Han Xing," Qing He said softly, a hint of uncertainty and excitement in her tone. "We... seem to have sensed a common attraction... coming from the depths of the temple."
Yao Lian also nodded, a rare flicker of desire in her bloodshot eyes: "It's very faint, but it does exist. Perhaps it requires something special."
"Something special?" Han Xing's eyes narrowed. "You mean..."
Qing He nodded seriously: "Our true body, Lian Xin."
"They were born from the origin of Tianchi Lake, and perhaps have some connection with this Origin Temple that we are yet to know."
Han Xing heard this without any hesitation.
With a thought, the [Emerald Lotus Heart] containing vast vitality.
The [Dark Blood Lotus Heart] emitting a dark and deep aura appeared in his palm and flew towards Qinghe and Yaolian respectively.
Although these two million-year-old lotus hearts are precious, they may even have some miraculous effects.
But this originally belonged to Qinghe and Yaolian, and Han Xing never had the intention of taking it for himself.
So until now, he has not even checked the properties of these two lotus hearts.
The two girls looked at the two flying lotus hearts, excitement and emotion appearing in their eyes.
After more than 100,000 years, they finally possessed their own lotus hearts again.
"call……"
They let out a sigh and solemnly took the two lotus hearts.
Then, they released their respective divine powers without hesitation and absorbed the two lotus hearts into their bodies.
“Buzz!”
Two completely different yet common auras burst out from their bodies!
The emerald divine light and the dark blood lotus shot up into the sky, transforming into a huge green and red light column that shot straight into the sky!
at the same time.
The temple in front, which had been illusory and uncertain, like a mirage, suddenly burst out with billions of feet of sacred light!
The entire white jade palace suddenly became extremely solid, and the ancient and vast aura pressed down like a substance!
Above the tightly closed temple door, a dazzling light lit up, eventually converging into a slowly rotating twin lotus platform mark!
“Boom!”
A huge pillar of light composed purely of sacred white light suddenly shot out from the lotus platform mark like a guiding bridge.
In an instant, Han Xing, Qing He, Yao Lian and everyone around them were all enveloped!
The beam of light contains an irresistible soft yet powerful force of space!
The moment he sensed this beam of light, Han Xing seemed to understand something.
"This is the guiding light. It should be teleporting us into the palace. Everyone, don't resist."
Hearing this, everyone on the field was delighted and gave up resisting the light column.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt their bodies lighten, and a sense of spatial teleportation emerged in their hearts.
