Chapter 114: Invasion of the Secret Realm

This secret realm, which is extremely important to Nanwang, was named the "Nine-Layered Secret Realm" by later generations because of its geographical location.

Before the Ninth Layer Secret Realm collapsed for the second time, everyone thought it was just an ordinary secret realm.

The danger level of a secret realm is generally determined by its geographical location and expansion speed.

The location of the Nine-Storied Tower is very delicate. As a landmark building in the Northern Territory, the Nine-Storied Tower has a long history and a great reputation. However, there are few sects and even fewer believers near the Nine-Storied Tower. The only important hub is a teleportation array that connects the sky and the sea. Even if it is gone, it will not have much impact.

If it were peacetime, as soon as a secret realm appeared, there would be monks going to conquer it. However, now the situation has just stabilized, and there are still many secret realms that need to be rescued and dealt with. No one cares about such a secret realm that is not very harmful.

No matter who looks at it, they will feel that even if the Nine-Layer Secret Realm is not dangerous, even if it is expanded by a few hundred miles, it will not cause any impact on the demons and ordinary people. If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if the Nine-Layer Secret Realm is sacrificed.

Everyone felt that the Ninth Level Secret Realm was not a big problem and could be put aside for the time being.

Nan Wang hadn't even received any letter asking for help related to the Ninth Layer Secret Realm. It was only when a subordinate from the Demonic Cult mentioned during a casual chat that there was a problem with the Ninth Layer that he learned about it.

After learning that the Nine-Layered Secret Realm had appeared, Nan Wang immediately began to arrange his funeral affairs.

The Nine-Layered Secret Realm is one of the most important chapters in the original novel. Its development speed is faster than anyone could imagine. They will have to set out in half a month at most.

This time, he didn't know if he could come back.

...No matter what the outcome is, he will try his best to keep Tong Yan in the secret realm and eliminate the biggest worry for Qingyun Sect.

Speaking of arranging funeral arrangements, the first person Nan Wang thought of was Zhan Chenming.

The third senior brother wanders around the Demon City all year round and is the best messenger.

However, two years ago, for some unknown reason, the third brother suddenly disappeared.

It was just before and after Nan Wang took over as the Demon Lord. He was extremely depressed and even thought about running away. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the third senior brother disappeared without leaving any message and disappeared from the world.

The situation in the Northern Territory can be controlled as it is today, and the third senior brother who disappeared at the critical moment should account for at least half of the credit. It was he who made Nan Wang completely give up the idea of ​​escaping and live a peaceful life as the Demon Lord.

After discovering that his third senior brother was missing, Nan Wang risked his life to send a bird messenger to Du Xueling. Du Xueling quickly wrote back to him, telling him that Zhan Chenming had important matters to attend to and might not be able to contact him in the short term.

With Zhan Chenming's departure, the safest way for Nanwang to contact Qingyun Sect was cut off. The remaining ways were either to send a messenger bird directly or to send a message through the "Heavenly Palace". Both methods were risky, and the risks were not small.

The good news is that ever since the well erupted in the secret realm of the Northern Territory, the demons have had to seek help from the relatively neutral Immortal Sect. It has become less rare for the demons to send letters to the Immortal Sect, which finally gave Nanwang a chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

If this were not the case, with Nan Wang's habit of sending messengers from the Demon Cult to the Immortal Gate every other day, his identity would have been exposed long ago.

After establishing a certain prestige in the demon clan as the Demon Lord, Nan Wang was finally able to send letters freely. But the strange thing was that in recent times, the reply speed of the senior sister had been getting slower and slower. He still hadn't received a reply to the letter he sent five days ago.

Nan Wang sensed that something was amiss and had secretly planned to sneak back to Qingyun Sect to take a look. However, he did not expect the Ninth Layer Secret Realm to arrive so quickly, disrupting all his plans.

The priority of returning to Qingyun Sect is not as high as that of the Nine-Layer Secret Realm. In the original novel, Qingyun Sect was always fine before Tong Yan came knocking on the door. In other words, as long as he could deal with Tong Yan, Qingyun Sect would be safe.

Nan Wang wrote letters to each of his true disciples, released all the messenger birds on his body in batches, and ran to the nearest "Tiangong" pawnshop, and deposited all the materials and spirit stones he had collected during this period into the account of his eldest senior brother, so that if he could not come back, "Tiangong" would return the things to his eldest senior brother.

The day after Nanwang released the last carrier bird, the entire Northern Territory was invaded by the Nine-Layered Tower.

This may sound a bit abstract, but it is true.

Nan Wang woke up, opened the window and stretched as usual, and when he closed his eyes, he saw a nine-story building rising from the ground right in front of him.

The nine-story building was enveloped in a pitch-black fog, making it look extremely obscure.

When it comes to the sect protection formation, there is no difference between the Demon Sect and the Immortal Sect.

This nine-story building passed the sect's protective formation and appeared silently in the Demonic Sect without anyone noticing.

"Nanwang, something happened!"

Tong Yan rushed into the Falling Moon Tower in a hurry, followed by several panicked guardians and Zhu Yutang who was staying overnight in the Falling Moon Tower.

"Please be patient. Have you received any letters from other sects?"

Nanwang's tone was extremely calm.

His calmness instantly infected the others.

The leader of the Fu Hall who took over after Nanwang stepped down said respectfully, "Master Demon, we just received a message from Master Wu Ge that a similar nine-story building has appeared in the Ghost Corpse Cult."

The head of the Sword Hall said the same thing: "Master Demon, there is a similar nine-story building outside the Demon City, about fifty miles away from our sect."

"Okay, it looks like the Nine-Layer Secret Realm has been opened. Each of the Nine-Layer Buildings is a separate entrance. Jian Lan, immediately gather all the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect who are at the Golden Core level and above, as well as the talisman cultivators who are at the Foundation Establishment level and above. Yu Tang, quickly notify all the major sects and have them put down everything they are doing and try their best to conquer the Nine-Layer Secret Realm at all costs!"

At this moment, in the face of the sudden accident, Nanwang was like a real demon lord, directing everyone to do things in an orderly manner.

Everyone quickly took action according to his arrangements.

Tong Yan, whose name was not mentioned, spoke with a little uneasiness: "Nanwang, something is wrong this time. How about we go to a safe place first and come back after the Nine-Storied Building disappears?"

"There's no need for that. I'm here, nothing will happen. You..."

Nan Wang looked at Tong Yan deeply:

"Go and call Wu Ge for me. I have something to say to him."

"Wu Ge? Is there something you can't tell me?"

Even at a critical moment, Tong Yan still did not forget to compete with Wu Ge for his affection.

Nan Wang picked up the sleeping white plush rabbit from the couch and rubbed it absentmindedly: "Compared to you, I trust him more. After all, I know all his identities."

"Wha…wait, I can explain!"

Tong Yan was so frightened by Nan Wang's words that he almost fell down several times. Suddenly, he realized what Nan Wang was saying, and he began to defend himself eagerly:

"I didn't mean to lie to you. I was..."

"Don't think too much, go call someone first."

Nanwang interrupted him ruthlessly:

"After calling the people, go directly to the entrance of the secret realm and wait. The nine secret realms have reached our base camp. As the leader, you have to shoulder the responsibility of obtaining the strategy manual. As for other matters... let's talk about it after we come out of the secret realm."

“…”

Tong Yan opened his mouth several times but no words came out. Finally, he chose to obey Nan Wang's orders, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out.

"Chichichi."

Suddenly, he heard the cry of a rabbit in his arms. Nan Wang came to his senses and loosened his hands that were unconsciously holding the rabbit's fur.

"Chichichi."

Hate it, you're almost making me bald.

Annuo complained while licking his fur.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was a little nervous..."

Nanwang whispered.

The aura that had just lingered around him disappeared completely. In front of Annuo, he was always the approachable Nanwang.

He had decided a long time ago to reveal Tong Yan's secrets and make him uneasy before entering the Nine-Layer Secret Realm.

Although he still doesn't understand why Tong Yan had to use the alias Zhong Wangsheng, this does not prevent him from taking advantage of this and putting some eye drops on Tong Yan at the critical moment.

…

Soon, the Demonic Cult assembled an attacking team and waited for Nanwang's order to charge into the Ninth Floor together.

At the last moment, Wu Ge responded to the call and came before Nan Wang.

"Master Demon, I heard you were looking for me?"

Nan Wang looked at him with a scrutinizing look: "You're here just like that? Didn't the Ghost Corpse Cult also appear in the Ninth Floor?"

"Ah, well, of course... Lord Demon is more important."

Wu Ge replied with a smile.

Nan Wang's expression turned cold: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Wu Ge asked in confusion: "That's a bit strange. Didn't you ask me to come here? If there's anything I should ask, it should be me. What do you want to do?"

Nanwang said: "With your level of cultivation, you should be able to see at a glance how dangerous the Ninth Floor is. You would rather abandon the disciples of the Ghost Corpse Cult and come to me for help... Since you have obeyed my orders to this extent, why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"

Wu Ge said slowly, "Master Demon, it seems a bit inappropriate to talk about this now. Why don't we wait until we conquer the Ninth Layer Secret Realm, and then I will slowly tell you?"

"No, now is the time."

Nan Wang looked out the window. The size of the Nine-Storied Pagoda must have doubled compared to an hour ago, and it was almost eroding the Falling Moon Tower.

They can't wait any longer, they must enter the ninth secret realm immediately.

But before that, before his life comes to an end, let him be selfish one last time and seek an answer for himself.

Nanwang said: "Tell me, how do you know I come from another world?"

Wu Ge was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You, you are so funny, hahahaha..."

Nan Wang urged, "Stop pretending. You already know my identity, and I know yours too. You probably have about an incense stick of time to tell me the truth. Isn't this what you've always wanted to do? Now I'll give you this chance."

"That sounds familiar, haha."

Wu Ge's laughter gradually died down, and his tone was tinged with sadness:

"What will happen after one stick of incense? Is it me or you who died in the secret realm? If possible, I hope it's me. If you promise me, I will tell you the truth I know."
