Chapter 1074 Tianxu Secret Realm
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The Tianxu Secret Realm is the most mysterious inheritance place of the Di family. It is said to contain countless ancient gods’ inheritances and is only opened to the public once every hundred years.
The Di family is actually willing to open up to the outside world?
Lan Xiaoxiao excitedly tugged at Luo Li's sleeve: "Ali! We must go!"
Luo Li nodded slightly, but her eyes remained on Di Chen.
I always feel that Di Chen has become different from when I met him in Tianyuan Continent.
And other people's eyes always fall on him intentionally or unintentionally.
This Holy Son has not spoken a word since his appearance, and he is like a perfect ice sculpture.
At this moment, Di Chen suddenly walked towards Luo Li.
The noise in the banquet hall gradually died down, and everyone looked at this scene in surprise - the Holy Son of the Di family, who had never been close to others, actually took the initiative to approach a strange girl?
But that strange girl looked very familiar.
After a moment, everyone hissed.
Isn't that Luo Li, the Young Master of Buli City? !
Her talent is even more terrifying than Di Chen's!
Could it be possible that these two geniuses knew each other?!
Di Chen stopped in front of Luo Li and nodded slightly: "Luo Li... Young Master Luo?"
His voice was low and cold, like spring water in winter.
Luo Li raised her eyes and met those eyes as deep as a cold pond, her heart moving slightly.
The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile, and her voice was cold and distant: "Emperor Saint, long time no see."
There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath, afraid of missing any details.
Di Chen's eyes flickered slightly, as if there was a fleeting fluctuation.
He slowly raised his hand, and a jade slip emitting a faint blue light appeared out of thin air: "The Tianxu Secret Realm will open in a month. This is the pass."
Lan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened as she stood aside, unable to help but whisper, "Ali!"
Luo Li didn't take it immediately, but looked at Di Chen thoughtfully: "Why did the Di family suddenly open up the secret realm to the public?"
Di Chen's expression remained unchanged: "This is the decision of the Patriarch."
He paused, then added, "Opportunities are rare."
Luo Li chuckled and reached out to take the jade slip.
"Thank you." She withdrew her hand, and the jade slip in her palm emitted a slightly cool temperature.
Di Chen nodded slightly, turned and left.
His back was as straight as a pine tree, yet revealed an indescribable loneliness.
Di Wuyou looked at Di Chen's back and narrowed his eyes slightly in dissatisfaction.
When Di Chen walked to a more secluded corner, the banquet hall became lively again.
Lan Xiaoxiao came over immediately and lowered her voice excitedly: "Ali, did you know each other before?"
Luo Li stroked the jade slip, her eyes far-reaching: "Didn't I tell you before? We met once in Tianyuan Continent."
She paused, "But he was a little different back then than he is now."
"What do you mean?" Lan Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion.
Xie Shiyuan and the other two also looked at each other. That’s right, this Di Chen was like a person without emotions in the Continent of Gods.
They were friends when they were kids.
Luo Li shook her head and said nothing more.
Her gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Di Chen in the distance.
He was surrounded by a group of powerful young men, but he remained expressionless, as if he was out of tune with the bustle around him.
"Interesting," Luo Li murmured to herself, "It seems that I must go to this Tianxu Secret Realm."
Ye Yichen nodded, "There is still a month before the secret realm opens. Should we stay here?"
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "It's okay if we don't leave the city. There's no need to go back for now. Let's stay here and wait for the secret realm to open."
"Okay."
During the banquet, Luo Li noticed that the gaze of Di Wuyou, the head of the Di family, seemed to be on her intentionally or unintentionally.
The glass lamps in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed for a moment.
Luo Li keenly sensed that there was some dark calculation hidden in Di Wuyou's eyes.
The head of the Di family, who is famous for his iron-blooded wrist in the Continent of Gods, is now stroking the black jade ring on his thumb.
When the glass lamp regained its light, Emperor Wuyou raised the gilded wine cup and gestured to everyone, but the dark light in his eyes did not fade away.
Luo Li tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, and her spiritual consciousness quietly reached out to the black jade ring, but was bounced away by an obscure divine power the moment it touched it.
"A-Li, look at that lamp!" Lan Xiaoxiao suddenly tugged at her sleeve. Nine star lamps hanging from the main hall's dome lit up one after another, each wick dancing with a different colored flame.
Xie Shiyuan whispered, "This is the Di family's secret treasure, the 'Nine-Layered Sky Lantern'. It only lights up during the Holy Son's wedding... Strange..."
Before he finished speaking, the seventh sky lantern suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, and the lamp oil flowed down the lampshade like blood.
The wine glass in Di Wuyou's hand shattered with a "bang", and the fragments passed through his palm but there was no trace of blood.
Luo Li's pupils shrank slightly. She clearly saw the fragments turned into black mist the moment they touched the ground, and were quickly crawling towards Di Chen's feet along the gaps between the floor tiles.
The sudden change of the seventh sky lantern was like a thunderclap, and people in the banquet hall suddenly gasped.
"What's going on?!"
"What happened?"
Luo Li's spiritual power surged in her sleeves, and just as she was about to gather soul power on her fingertips, she saw Di Chen lightly tap his toes, and he soared three feet high like a startled wild goose. The black mist brushed against the soles of his boots and rushed towards the corridor pillars, outlining twisted runes on the wall.
"Father!" The female member of the Di family beside Di Wuyou suddenly exclaimed. Luo Li then noticed that she was wearing the same silver chain as Di Chen's around her wrist, but the pendant was half a piece of broken jade.
The woman formed a hand seal with her fingertips, and the bronze incense burner on the table suddenly emitted white smoke. Black incantations emerged from the mist: "It's a mind-controlling spell! Someone is using the unusual movement of the sky lantern to cast a spell!"
Di Shiwei glanced at Di Wuyou, who looked uneasy, and frowned fiercely, "Father, someone tampered with the banquet! We must investigate thoroughly!"
Di Wuyou flicked his fingertips, and the shattered wine glass instantly recovered, but the cold light in his eyes became even deeper: "Close the banquet hall, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
Before he finished speaking, nine streams of light suddenly descended from the dome, forming a golden barrier within the hall.
Luo Li stared at the twisted runes on the wall. The black mist turned into powder the moment the barrier was formed, leaving only a faint trace of black air at Di Chen's feet.
She probed again with her spiritual sense, only to find that the aura was mixed with a familiar one.
Emperor Wuyou...
"Heart Control Spell?" Lan Xiaoxiao clenched the spiritual weapon at her waist. "Could it be directed at Di Chen?"
Xie Shiyuan frowned: "But the Di family's defense is so strict and their strength is so strong. Who dares to take action under the Di family's nose..."
Luo Li curled her lips slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, they will randomly pick an unlucky guy to take the blame."
Xie Shiyuan and the others were stunned, not quite understanding. "What?"
Luo Li tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips, her eyes sweeping over the guests with varying expressions. "The Di family's barrier instantly sealed the palace. It seems like they're tracking down the murderer, but in reality..."
She paused, looking at Di Wuyou who was surrounded by the crowd, "It's just taking advantage of the situation."
Lan Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank slightly: "You mean..."
