The two had naturally heard of the Tianqi Dynasty.
This is one of the five sacred sites we entered into the secret realm this time.
Bai Qingmo remained unmoved, and simply said in a deep voice.
"Is there something you need?"
They were all very clear about what their master had instructed them before: if there were any fools, they could simply send them on their way.
They didn't even consider this small holy site worthy of their attention.
Shangguan Zhong could sense the hostility emanating from Bai Qingmo. After all, they were in a secret realm, where anything could happen.
"Gentlemen, I mean you no harm."
Shangguan Zhong smiled and waved his hand.
"I just want to invite the two of you to join our team."
"You two are probably not from the Tianqiong Continent. Our Tianqi Dynasty is quite familiar with this Origin Secret Realm, and most importantly, we are not on good terms with the Golden Jade Palace."
"This will save you two a lot of trouble."
Although the Tianqi Dynasty is not the strongest in terms of overall strength among the five holy lands, it has a good understanding of the other major forces.
When Bai Qingmo made his move earlier, Shangguan Zhong had already arrived here, intending to take care of the Black Fiend Sect members.
But unexpectedly, the two of them beat them to it.
That's why it chose to appear at this time.
Bai Qingmo did not respond further; he could sense that Shangguan Zhong harbored no hostility whatsoever.
He simply turned his gaze to Xu Youyuan behind him. With this senior sister there, it was naturally not his place to make the decision.
Xu Youyuan pondered for a moment before speaking:
"With the strength of your Tianqi Dynasty, you shouldn't be in the position to recruit others, right?"
These words were spoken.
Shangguan Zhong's gaze slowly fell on Xu Youyuan, his eyes filled with genuine emotion.
"Because the girl looks a lot like my imperial sister..."
All five princes of the Tianqi Dynasty were blood relatives, born to Empress Wu.
Due to the turmoil in the dynasty in the early years, the only princess, Shangguan Qin, was unexpectedly sacrificed.
In Shangguan Zhongde's heart, it was because of the love and care of this imperial elder sister that the two of them became closer.
So when Shangguan Qin died, Shangguan Zhong, who was in seclusion, almost went mad with qi deviation.
Although my emotions have calmed down a lot over the years, that longing is still hidden deep inside.
It wasn't until Xu Youyuan appeared that Shangguan Zhong was reminded of what happened back then.
Sensing the other person's emotions, Xu Youyuan hadn't expected such a coincidence to happen, but she also knew the purpose of coming to the secret realm.
Although they fear no power, their understanding of the Origin Realm is still too limited.
Having Shangguan Zhong, a prince of the Tianqi Dynasty, by their side would save them a lot of trouble and time.
Thinking of this, Xu Youyuan's gentle voice rang out again.
"I want to take Bai Qi with me."
"Is everything alright?"
Shangguan Zhong nodded, his eyes filled with joy.
After a short wait, the others from the imperial court soon arrived one after another. The five holy lands' purpose in visiting this Origin Secret Realm was to obtain the final Immortal Emperor's inheritance.
Therefore, all preparations were very thorough.
As they prepared to leave, one of the imperial disciples whispered a few words in Shangguan Zhong's ear.
Then he took out a spirit stone and gently crushed it.
A flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, as if it were a guiding light.
"Is this a direct route to the Land of Inheritance?"
Bai Qingmo asked with some curiosity, his impression of Shangguan Zhong had improved considerably after their brief interaction.
At the very least, this prince of the Tianqi Dynasty seemed to have no airs at all, and was very generous to the two of them, treating them to all sorts of spiritual fruits and wines.
Shangguan Zhong gazed northward.
"The land where the Fighting Immortal King inherited his legacy."
"It shouldn't take too long to get there..."
In less than an hour.
The group had already slowed down, and a considerable number of forces had gathered in front of the ruins of a huge palace.
Judging from their clothing, those at the very front of the crowd seemed to be from the Tianqi Dynasty.
Soon, several disciples of the imperial court approached Shangguan Zhong and said respectfully:
"Fifth Prince, the Second Prince and the Third Prince are already waiting for you..."
"I see."
Without hesitation, Shangguan Zhong led his men directly into the territory of the Tianqi Dynasty.
Before the enormous palace ruins, nine massive black towers stood coldly in everyone's sight, and the ancient patterns and totems emerging from the towers could be vaguely seen.
At this moment, many disciples of the Tianqi Dynasty were already sitting cross-legged on the black tower, seemingly comprehending something.
"Fifth brother, has something happened?"
Why are you so late?
A path immediately parted within the imperial procession, and two figures appeared before Shangguan Zhong. Although they differed in appearance and temperament, the resemblance in their features was still evident.
The visitors were none other than Shangguan An, the second prince of the Tianqi Dynasty, and Shangguan Chen, the third prince.
The two of them had been looking at each other with concern, but when they saw Xu Youyuan standing to the side, they froze on the spot.
It took them a long time to come to their senses. Although Xu Youyuan and Shangguan Qin were similar, they were blood relatives after all, and they could still feel the difference.
