Chapter 51: Fairy Fox Banquet

All the raiders who have collected enough intelligence in the first stage of the secret realm should know that the Fairy Fox Banquet will be held on the seventh floor of the Fairy Fox Terrace.

On the day of the banquet, all the civil and military officials of Shang State will come out to celebrate the completion of Xianhu Terrace.

Of course, the banquet was also attended by the fox fairies who exploited the people and fed on their hearts, as well as the peerless fox concubine who sat high on the throne and enjoyed great splendor.

The opening of the Fairy Fox Banquet also means that the secret realm has entered its final stage.

If the raiders still cannot find and destroy the secret core in the final stage, then the secret realm raid will be declared a failure again.

Nan Wang was not worried about conquering the secret realm, he believed that the hero would be fine, the only thing he was worried about was the fifth junior sister and her Seven Secrets Exquisite Heart.

Du Xueling and Zhan Chenming spent three full days underground in order to retrieve the Thousand Flower Bell, and now it is not long before the Fairy Fox Banquet begins.

Breaking the formation consumed a great deal of their energy. In the last few days, they did not move from the spot at all, and spent all their time in meditation and regulating their breathing.

It was not until the seventh day that they set out to leave the first level.

Follow the waterfall all the way up to the sixth level.

The passage from the sixth floor to the seventh floor is also a vortex portal. The portal is located on a stone platform. Around the stone platform stand countless stone statues of fairy foxes of varying sizes.

The teleportation gate has not been opened yet. There are quite a few cultivators waiting here, but most of them are hiding well. To the naked eye, the stone platform where the teleportation vortex is located is empty and calm.

Nanwang and his companions found a stone sculpture of a fairy fox with a cute look and sat down to rest leisurely.

Looking at the seventh-level passage that was about to open not far away, Nan Wang sighed with deep emotion.

It has been a smooth journey to get here, but it is a pity to waste the countless treasures in the secret realm...

After all, this treasure trove of fairy foxes has nothing to do with them.

Du Xueling said, "I've run out of Broken Moon Grass and need to replenish it. What about you? Do you want anything?"

Zhan Chenming pondered for a moment and said, "I don't need anything, but I think Junior Brother needs some herbs to strengthen his body, and Fifth Sister should also need some spiritual medicine to nourish her soul in her current condition."

Du Xueling took out the banknotes and handed them to Zhan Chenming: "Come on, write it down, in detail."

Zhan Chenming squatted on the ground, honestly wrote down a long row of elixirs, and circled a few of them.

Nan Wang said in confusion: "Grandmaster Sister, the seventh floor is about to open. It's too late for us to go and collect spiritual herbs now, right?"

Du Xueling put on a veil and said in a deep voice, "It's still in time. I think the portal will take at least an hour to open. One hour should be enough. Is there anything you want?"

"……no."

Nan Wang looked at Du Xueling's actions and had a bad feeling in his heart.

He turned his head stiffly and glanced at Zhan Chenming.

A strange face smiled at him.

Nanwang: “…”

Che Xue said: "I will be in charge of the Blood Robe Cult and the Ghost Corpse Cult, and you will be in charge of the Heavenly Demon Cult. See you in three sticks of incense."

Shi Shan said: "Okay."

Nanwang: “…”

After three sticks of incense, the two returned home with a full load.

Du Xueling took off her veil and happily counted the herbs in her hand: "This pillar of ten thousand year old purple spirit grass is really a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect that your Blood Robe Sect's foundation is so profound."

Zhan Chenming withdrew his disguise and said humbly, "Thank you very much. The Heavenly Demon Cult is not bad. I caught a child with a lot of foundation-building stage protectors around him. It's a pity that those people didn't pay enough attention and let me get the child. He has so many good things on him. The dragon-pattern protective robe alone is worth a fortune."

Du Xueling said, "He is the son of the leader of the Demon Cult. Of course he has a lot of good things. I have wanted to take action against him for a long time, but unfortunately Tong Dongyang was watching him too closely. This time, I had a hard time persuading the little guy to go to the secret realm."

Zhan Chenming said: "As expected of you, you are a senior sister. You have extraordinary skills. I admire you. I admire you."

Du Xueling said: "Thank you, thank you."

Nanwang looked at this, then looked at that, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Du Xueling counted them while sighing, "The Immortal Fox Secret Realm is located in the Northern Region, so the resources should not be comparable to those in the Central Plains. How come there are so many spiritual medicines?"

Zhan Chenming said calmly: "The Immortal Fox Secret Realm is extremely difficult, and it collapsed again. It killed so many cultivators, so it is normal for some abnormalities to occur."

Du Xueling said: "We have really come back with a great harvest this time. It seems that the sect will not be short of materials for refining pills and weapons for a long time."

Nan Wang held onto his last glimmer of hope and asked, "Eldest Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, what on earth were you doing?"

Du Xueling said: "Rob the rich and help the poor."

Zhan Chenming said: "Robbery."

Nanwang: “…”

Zhan Chenming patted Nan Wang on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, you have to remember that there are many kinds of spiritual medicines in the secret realm, but they are very scattered. You can't collect many by yourself."

Du Xueling added: "So robbing the rich and helping the poor is necessary, but try not to attack the righteous sects. They are very troublesome. After you defeat one wave, there will be another wave. The people in the demon sect don't have the habit of forming cliques. Those who are not strong enough usually think they are unlucky."

Namo has nothing to say.

As an undercover agent, he is very cautious and treads on thin ice.

The eldest sister and the third brother are different. Not only have they become other people's management while undercover, they can even get both ends and move forward and backward freely.

Too strong. Really too strong.

However, the eldest senior sister and the third senior brother both went to the Demon Cult as undercover agents for the Qingyun Sect, and he... he really was an undercover agent sent by the Demon Cult to the Qingyun Sect!

Nan Wang looked at the two people in front of him and silently shrank his neck.

The eldest senior sister and the third senior brother must have judged him by themselves, thinking that he went undercover in the Hehuan Sect just to save the fifth senior sister.

They would never have thought that he was a real undercover agent of the Demon Cult and a traitor of the Qingyun Sect.

Boom——

There was a loud noise in the distance.

Everyone looked up and saw that the vortex portal was gradually expanding, condensing, and changing.

"The door is open!"

Shouts rang out one after another.

The monks who had been hiding appeared one by one and rushed towards the portal leading to the final stage of the secret realm.

The order of entering the portal is very important. Generally speaking, the earlier you enter, the better the secret realm character you are assigned. If you enter too late, you will most likely be a small character such as a traveling merchant, and the difficulty of obtaining the strategy secrets will be greater.

Du Xueling said: "Let's go too."

"Okay, Senior Sister."

"See you later, Senior Sister, Junior Brother."

…

Nan Wang opened his eyes amid the loud shouts of “Long live the emperor!”

He looked down at himself and found that he had returned to his immortal servant attire.

There was a piece of white paper hanging in front of his eyes, covering his face and blocking his vision.

The Fairy Fox Banquet had already begun, and on the high platform in the center sat the Emperor of Shang and his Fairy Fox concubine.

The fox concubine was half-leaning on the couch, with heavy red gauze hanging in front of her as a curtain, so people below could only see a vague shadow.

There were so many guests attending the banquet that the seats below the stage were packed, with seven or eight rows arranged in three layers inside and outside.

There were so many guests that the air seemed thinner.

Nan Wang's seat was not even in the guest seats. He was standing, and around him were only other immortal servants and... stone pillars.

From Nan Wang's perspective, even without the paper on his face, he couldn't see clearly what was happening on the stage.

From this we can see that his so-called immortal servant is just a title and he has no power at all.

No one knew where the eldest sister and the third brother were assigned to. Since there were so many guests, it was extremely difficult to find them.

Among the guests present, there were many monks from various sects. These people were constantly making small movements, and Nan Wang could spot one or two of them with just a few glances.

As the banquet began, dancers came in with drums and pipa performances. There was singing and dancing, gold powder flying, red satin fluttering, and the party was filled with clinking glasses and great liveliness.

Nanwang seized the opportunity and released two carrier birds, trying to use them to locate the positions of the eldest senior sister and the second senior brother.

The glass carrier bird was soon intercepted by a guest sitting in the front row. The man turned around, exchanged a glance with Nan Wang, and confirmed the identities of both parties.

Another carrier bird circled and flew into the center of the dancing girls, and suddenly disappeared.

Nan Wang rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

Why, why did the third senior brother's messenger bird fly towards the dancer? What kind of identity was assigned to the third senior brother?

Although given Third Brother's physique, it's impossible for him to pretend to be a dancer, right?

It's quite possible that the two big guys playing drums at the back will fall over...

The dancers were wearing very little cloth, and the men were dressed very scantily too, with their chests and private parts exposed, showing their masculine nature.

Du Xueling's bird flew back soon, and the letter in its beak read "Watch and see how the situation develops, and do not act rashly."

Nan Wang's entire attention was drawn to the dancers dancing to the beat of the drums, and he had no spare attention left for his senior sister.

"Nuonuo, Nuonuo, are you there? Come out and take a look..."

Nan Wang tried to call out An Nuo to see this scene that would definitely be worthy of being on the headlines of Qingyun Sect today. However, after calling for a long time, he realized that An Nuo did not seem to be by his side.

"Nuonuo?"

Nan Wang was a little panicked.

Annuo's elusive behavior remained unchanged after entering the secret realm, but Nan Wang knew that even if Annuo did not show up, it must have always been by his side.

At this moment, after calling for a long time without getting any response, Nan Wang couldn't help but feel panicked.

If An Nuo was there, there would be no way he would not respond to his call.

The lack of response only meant that Annuo was not at the banquet at all.

After the secret realm enters the third stage, the entire Fairy Fox Stage will serve the Fairy Fox Banquet. Palace maids and eunuchs come and go everywhere, busy doing logistical work. The wine and delicacies on the banquet are all prepared by the chefs in the back kitchen and then served to the guests by the palace maids.

In this way, there will definitely be attackers who will be assigned the roles of chefs, eunuchs, or palace maids and will be transported to places outside the banquet.

Although An Nuo came with Nan Wang, he did not have a beast contract and could transform into the appearance of a fairy fox to directly participate in the secret realm. It was not impossible for him to be identified as an independent attacker by the secret realm.

Nan Wang took a step back silently.

After making sure that no one would notice him, Nan Wang quietly walked towards the gate.

Just as Nan Wang was about to walk out of the banquet hall, An Nuo's voice suddenly exploded in his ears.

Annuo spoke incoherently with mixed breathing. He shouted at the top of his lungs in panic:

"Run! Run—"
