Chapter 31

==================

Only two parties did not think so much.

"Master Demon has condescended to come to a secret place at the Earth Level. You wouldn't come just for Xie, right?" Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen who was leisurely tossing a palm-sized silver gun and said, "What do you want to do?"

Ning Chen took the silver spear and said in surprise: "Xie Tingyun, why are you pretending to be stupid? If you didn't want to bring these little brats to the secret realm, why would I follow you here? What's the point of eating?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."

The disciples of the righteous path: “…”

"I asked you the other day if I could still come and fight you," Ning Chen said, "Didn't you say I could come whenever I wanted?"

Xie Tingyun held his forehead and said, "Tianxiao, now is obviously not a good time. Can we talk about it outside?"

He also had to watch over this group of fellow disciples and decide whether to take action or not to fight with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen snorted and said, "No."

To the ears of two people, the above conversation is obviously very normal. However, when it falls into the ears of the righteous people, there is always an urge to grab the collar of the person involved and shake and scream wildly.

Come for you, come whenever you want, say it after you leave...these words don't sound innocent at first glance.

Ning Chen sat cross-legged, and the long spear in his hand, which he swiftly turned, flew towards the righteous people, brushing against the toe of the boot of the person in front and deeply nailed into the ground.

This sudden action startled everyone. Ning Chen tilted his head and said, "Let's fight, let's fight. I have to advise you that this secret realm is very difficult. You guys are just newbies and it's not suitable for you to go in and train. Listen to my advice. You still have time to get out now. Find a safer secret realm next time."

The righteous disciples were immediately furious.

Most of the people who like to read storybooks are the young people in the sect. The leading monks don’t care much about the so-called rumors. But now when it comes to interests, they can’t sit still.

"What do you mean? Are you asking us all to get out?"

"Our sect has been ordered to go to the Nuwa Secret Realm. How can we give up so easily just because of your words?"

Moreover, before coming here, the intelligence from various sects showed that the difficulty of this secret realm was only medium, so it was just right for sending disciples out to gain some experience.

The output and danger levels of all earth-level secret realms are relative, and generally there is a relative threshold. For example, the rarest items produced by the Nuwa Secret Realm are at most level four or five genius treasures, and the most common ones are level one or two, with common and medium difficulty.

This time, a sixth-level treasure will appear in the Nuwa Secret Realm, which is a special material for the male protagonist to refine the Heavenly Sword.

The difficulty level of the secret realm will fluctuate. The higher the level of the treasures produced in the secret realm, the rarer they are, and the corresponding companion beasts will naturally be of a higher level. The difficulty of the entire secret realm will naturally increase. In the original plot, all those below the Jindan level are basically wiped out, and only the male protagonist can escape unscathed.

Because the hero has the cultivation of the Mahayana period, he is able to deal with this difficult secret realm, and some high-level treasures naturally fall into the hands of the hero. To put it bluntly, no matter how hard others try, some things are destined to belong only to the hero, and they are just runners-up.

The villain Ning Chen was useful at the critical moment. As long as everyone was scared away, there would be no casualties, and there would be no need for cannon fodder to provoke and slap him in the face. He could get the treasure and leave as soon as possible. Ning Chen was still waiting for Xie Tingyun to finish his business so that he could fight with him.

However, it is obvious that the disciples of the righteous path will not give up so easily.

What Ning Chen said was inconsistent with the intelligence information obtained by the major sects. It was impossible for everyone to completely believe the words of a demon lord at once, so they were awkwardly stuck in the middle.

Xie Tingyun frowned and said, "You mean, the difficulty of the secret realm will increase?"

Ning Chen said, "Yes. Let your fellow apprentices and sisters go back quickly. Otherwise, if they can't get out, you may not be able to protect them."

Xie Tingyun raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Chen, seemingly in deep thought. Seeing that the eldest senior brother seemed to be seriously considering it, the junior brothers and sisters behind him came over and whispered, "Eldest senior brother, we will listen to you. If you say to retreat, we will retreat. But he is the Demon Lord. Do you think... can the Demon Lord's words be trusted?"

Xie Tingyun didn't know what he was thinking. He came to his senses and asked in confusion, "What?"

The junior brothers and sisters wiped their sweat and explained, "No, no, I mean... I mean do you dare to believe what a big devil says?"

Xie Tingyun didn't think much about it, just said "oh" softly and passed over the matter.

Xie Tingyun was actually hesitant. After all, he and Ning Chen were only forced to spend a short period of time together in a ghost village. It was hard to say that he understood Ning Chen.

But even a great demon would usually disdain to come to a secret realm at the earth level.

Xie Tingyun was at the Mahayana stage after all. If he didn't want to bring his fellow disciples in, he would usually go to the Heavenly Grade Secret Realm.

There wouldn't be anything that the Great Demon would be interested in in the Earth-level secret realm, so why did Ning Chen come here?

You can't really be trying to pick a fight with him, right?

This is ridiculous!

However, knowing that Xie Tingyun was going to lead the team into the secret realm, he still came over to interfere and deliberately cause trouble. This is quite consistent with Ning Chen's personality.

Xie Tingyun raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Chen, and said, "Are you serious?"

Ning Chen's brows were relaxed. After he took back the palm-sized spear, he twirled it between his fingers happily: "Of course. When have I ever lied to you?"

Xie Tingyun pursed his lips and said, "Disciples of Liuyun Sect, listen to my order. Leave Nuwa Secret Realm and return to the sect to wait for orders."

The disciples who were willing to follow Xie Tingyun this time were naturally very obedient to him, and they did not ask why Xie Tingyun made such a decision, but just said in unison: "Yes."

But before leaving, the junior brothers and sisters came over and said, "Big Brother, you're not leaving?"

Ning Chen sighed a few times, "Your elder brother can't leave. What will I do if he leaves? I have been waiting for him for a long time, hoping that your elder brother will be free for a few days. You guys, please be kind and give way. Ah, when the time comes, I will definitely send your elder brother back safely, okay?"

Disciple of Liuyun Sect: “…”

This is flirting in public, right?!

The Liuyun Sect disciples looked at Ning Chen strangely, not knowing whether they should laugh or be sad.

In fact, they didn't quite understand how these two people suddenly came to this point. It was clear that a few days ago, their eldest senior brother and the Demon Lord were still mortal enemies and had just disappeared for a few days. This time, the two of them started to flirt with each other in public.

Although it is really good to knock on the door, the senior brother is from their family!

The bad impression of the Demon Lord had already been deeply rooted in the minds of the disciples of Liuyun Sect. The sudden change at this time was too thorough. When the junior brothers and sisters thought that this abominable guy would really become the Taoist partner of their eldest senior brother in the future, they felt that the world was unpredictable.

This is just as outrageous as hearing about a koi fish that ate a shrimp and turned into a dragon god, then snatched the Emperor of Heaven away, and then the two of them ascended to the human world together. They are completely unrelated.

It's so explosive, my brain is going to explode just thinking about it.

But after all, he is the one that the senior brother likes. No matter how bad his reputation was before, he is still the senior brother's person from now on, and they, his junior brothers and sisters, must always respect him.

...Isn't it just that their eldest senior brother captured a high-level demon and brought him back to take over the throne!

Never mind, it's okay, they can accept it.

Seeing that Liuyun Sect believed Ning Chen's words so easily and was ready to retreat, the people from other sects said in disbelief, "... No way, are you serious?"

The disciples of Liuyun Sect asked, "Any questions?"

The faces of the righteous disciples twisted for a moment, and they said, "No... He is the Demon Lord. He had pursued your senior brother so hard before, and you actually believed him so much?"

"You said you've been pursuing me relentlessly! Isn't that enough to prove the Demon Lord's sincerity? I love him, and I don't think he would lie to us."

Ning Chen: “?”

Xie Tingyun: “?”

Is this an illusion? Why do I always feel like something is wrong?

"That's the path of our senior brother... an old enemy that we'll fight wherever we go! What realm is he in? What realm are we in? If a Jindan-stage cultivator says the sky will fall, I'll just say he's dreaming. But if a powerful person in the Jiemie realm says the sky will fall, I'll run faster than anyone else."

"That's right. Who knows what they might have discovered? Anyway, the other secret realms are not closed, and I won't die without this one. Let's run away."

The disciples of the righteous path: “…”
