"Why can't it be one of the other four imperial treasures?"
Chen Kui asked.
"There are two reasons. First, the Great Shang Dragon Seal has been around the longest, and the remaining fortune can be annihilated by our combined efforts. Second, even if the four imperial treasures have fortune, they cannot possibly seal my realm from thousands of miles away."
Secondly, the other four immortal sects are not to be trifled with; they would not allow the four imperial treasures to make any moves.
After Li Fan finished speaking, Chen Kui continued, "That makes a lot of sense, but how can you be so sure that the Great Shang's fortune lies in the Royal Family's Secret Realm?"
"The Immortal Sect wants to decide who owns the Dharma Body Pill by competing for the Royal Family's Secret Realm, and Dongfang Qingming wants to form an alliance with me in the Secret Realm."
The Emperor sent me to the royal family's secret realm...
There are only so many secrets in this world. With so many coincidences happening together, doesn't it clearly indicate that there's something wrong with the royal family's secret realm?
It seems... that makes sense.
But something just doesn't make sense.
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.
Chen Kui looked at Li Fan, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then nodded: "That's about what I thought."
"The above statements are all nonsense."
If this sounds similar to something else, think about your own problems.
Li Fan added a sentence.
These words broke Chen Kui's defenses.
So, after thinking about it seriously for so long, this heartless brat was just teasing me on purpose?
Thinking of this, Chen Kui angrily drew his sword: "Kid, let's fight to the death!"
"childish!"
Li Fan glanced at Chen Kui, then sheathed the Executioner and turned to descend towards the underground palace. Seeing this, Chen Kui had no choice but to follow.
......
Upon returning to the underground palace, Li Fan began to absorb the energy from the spiritual fruit using the Blood Drinking technique.
After fighting relentlessly for so long, my vital energy has been depleted.
Since we've decided to go out this time, we naturally need to make thorough preparations.
Although it will be wasteful, so be it.
"Li Fan, even if you're participating in the Royal Family's Secret Realm, you don't need to waste these Dharma Fruits!"
Besides, with your strength, who among those old monsters could possibly stand against you?
This scene broke Chen Kui's heart.
After being frugal for a long time, one naturally cannot tolerate extravagance and waste.
"Who said I went out just to participate in the secret realm competition?"
Li Fan looked at Chen Kui and continued, "Now that you've recovered, I can also arm wrestle with the invincible one in the world."
Since you're planning to go to Tiandu, wouldn't it be fair to use your cultivation level to kill Zhou Zhenxiong while you're at it?
"Are you serious?"
After hearing this, Chen Kui stared wide-eyed at Li Fan with an incredulous expression.
Killing Zhou Zhenxiong at this time is different from before. The Royal Family Secret Realm has opened, and there are many powerful figures in the capital.
The royal family is invincible among mortals, so there must be someone personally overseeing things.
In addition, the Ziyang Immortal Sect must have a top-level demigod in charge, and there is very likely more than one.
After all, this time the rewards include a treasure like the Dharma Body Pill.
If the Ziyang Immortal Sect doesn't take this seriously, it's very likely that it will be kidnapped.
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?"
Li Fan stopped what he was doing and glanced at Chen Kui.
I wanted to stay in the Yin Corpse Sect before because I could break through my limits here with peace of mind.
Now that there's nowhere left to go, Li Fan naturally won't stay here.
Since we've decided to go to the royal family's secret realm, we might as well just kill Zhou Zhenxiong while we're at it.
"Li Fan, although I really want to, but..."
"Stop nagging like a woman. If you can eat spirit fruits, then eat more."
If not, find a bag and carry some as provisions.
Before Chen Kui could finish speaking, Li Fan interrupted him.
He immediately stopped talking and began to pack his bags carefully.
Whether it's Li Fan or Chen Kui.
They didn't discuss the grotto-heaven at all.
Of course, they didn't need to worry about that. Even if the cave was occupied by others after they left, they could take it back at any time.
......
The Battle of the North did not generate much discussion.
After all, whether it's the Azure Eagle Clan or the Frost Wolf Clan, they are no different in the eyes of the people of Great Zhou.
Besides that, there is another very important reason.
That is the thirteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and hundreds of millions of Zhou people are paying attention to another matter.
That is the soon-to-be-opened Royal Secret Realm. After all, the scale of the Royal Secret Realm's opening this time is completely different from the past.
......
Outside the Tianbei Prince's Mansion, there was a carriage made of gold.
Around the carriage were warriors clad in armor.
Zhou Xuanye, dressed in a python robe, walked out of the open mansion gate.
Behind him, a person followed closely.
The man was completely shrouded in armor, with only his eyes showing.
This person was none other than Zhou Moye, the third-generation ancestor of the royal family.
He plans to participate personally in this royal clan secret realm competition in order to secure the acquisition of the Dharma Body Pill.
Squeak!
The golden carriage pressed against the bluestone floor, making a sickeningly loud sound.
The procession marched in perfect unison, heading south.
The murmurs only began after the procession had gone some distance.
"I never imagined that the King of Tianbei would be so terrifying!"
"Who can argue with that? Who would have thought that he could defeat nearly all the powerful figures of the Three Norths Chamber of Commerce all by himself?"
"From now on, there will only be one leader in Tianbei Prefecture, and that is the Tianbei Royal Palace."
......
At the headquarters of the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce in Tianbei City, there were far fewer people coming and going than usual.
Deep inside the courtyard, Zhao Tiegen stood by the window.
Outside the window, the snow fell silently.
Liu Xiong arrived through the snow, his face filled with worry.
"President, Tianbao Bank of Liaobei Prefecture, Baishanpu..."
Linbei Prefecture Treasure Pavilion, Incense-Taking Society...
Many letters were sent expressing their intention to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce.
The news that came back was never good.
Zhao Tiegen had anticipated this long ago.
He had already thought of this after Zhou Xuanye displayed overwhelming strength in the battle ten days ago.
Since Zhou Xuanye has decided to reveal his strength, he will naturally not allow the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce to continue to thrive.
Dismemberment is the only way out for the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce.
Without exception, all the forces that withdrew from the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce Alliance switched their allegiance to the Tianbei Prince's Mansion.
"President, are we just going to do nothing?"
It's one thing for the Tianbei Prince's Mansion to take back the agreed-upon quota, but what's the meaning behind doing this now?
He, Zhou Xuanye, is strong, but the Tianbei Royal Palace only has one Zhou Xuanye.
"At worst, we can gather all our men and fight him to the death."
Liu Xiong's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said, "If Li Fan can kill two princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why can't we?"
These words were not a hypocritical statement.
Liu Xiong had indeed thought that way.
"Pass down the order to send all stockpiled supplies to the Northern Border."
In addition, all families were notified to prevent a portion of their direct descendants from retreating to the northern border.
As for us old folks, we'll stay here.
Let's see if the Prince of Tianbei will rise to great heights, or if his palace will be reduced to ruins!
Zhao Tiegen was calmer than expected.
