Standing beside Sikong Jian, Ruan Xiyan asked, "Sect Master Sikong, who are they?"
Sikong Jian explained, "They are the Four Confucianists, and they are the most likely to take over the top five positions in the Tianyu Sect."
"Back then, the Four Confucian Sects lost to the Heavenly Feather Sect by a very small margin and failed to become one of the top five forces. Over the years, the sect leader of the Four Confucian Sects has held a grudge."
"If Miss Ruan enters the secret realm, she must be careful of the people from the Four Confucian Sect. They will definitely try to target the Heavenly Feather Sect."
Ruan Xiyan nodded in understanding.
Sikong Jian rubbed his hands together and looked at Ruan Xiyan with some hesitation.
Upon noticing this, Ruan Xiyan spoke directly, "Sect Leader Sikong, please speak plainly."
“Miss Ruan, it’s like this. Although I know that the disciples of Tianyu Sect are arrogant and domineering, and have left a very bad impression on you.”
"But if possible, I still hope that in the secret realm, Miss Ruan can help each other and lend a hand when they face danger."
In each competition between various sects, casualties are inevitable.
In the struggle for cultivation resources, bloodshed and slaughter are common occurrences on the cultivation continent.
Disciples of sects who rank in the top five are usually besieged by other forces.
Therefore, in previous sect competitions, the Tianyu Sect suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Although resources have been acquired, the sect's power will also suffer a severe blow if its disciples are seriously injured.
Those who were able to enter the secret realm and participate in the competition on behalf of their sect were all disciples with outstanding talent.
They were all under the prime of their lives, under twenty-five, and Sikong Jian would still feel a pang of heartache if they were to perish in the secret realm.
But the rules on the mainland are so cruel: survival of the fittest.
Ruan Xiyan glanced at Sikong Jian in surprise, and she finally understood why the Tianyu Sect had gradually declined.
Sect Master Sikong is incredibly powerful, but he's not very good at managing the sect. He's too lenient and soft-hearted with his disciples, which has led to them becoming arrogant and haughty.
Even with the support of mineral resources, the situation of the Tianyu Sect is still so critical.
If those disciples fail to make changes, no matter how many cultivation resources the sect has, it cannot guarantee that the Tianyu Sect will not ultimately perish.
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
However, these are all internal matters of the Tianyu Sect, and she has no interest in interfering.
"It's a bit unreasonable for Sect Leader Sikong to say that. I only promised Sect Leader Sikong that I would keep our position in the top five."
“Protecting them was not part of the conditions I discussed with Sect Master Sikong. Besides, the secret realm is unpredictable, and no one knows what we might encounter inside.”
"I'll keep to myself and let them keep to themselves. If they're safe and sound, fine. But if they keep showing up in front of me in the secret realm, I won't hesitate to teach them a lesson," Ruan Xiyan said calmly.
Sikong Jian looked at Ruan Xiyan's indifferent face and shook his head helplessly.
This little girl is too unpredictable; she does things entirely on her own whim, is completely unyielding, and is impossible to control.
I don't know if asking her for help was the right or wrong decision.
As Sikong Jian and Ruan Xiyan were talking, a shout suddenly rang out, "The entrance to the secret realm has opened!"
Suddenly, a whirlpool of water appeared on the empty ground in front of them.
Disciples from various factions stepped into the swirling water gate and disappeared from their original positions.
Jun Yu held Ruan Xiyan's hand and whispered, "Ayan, this secret realm is incompatible with me. If I force myself to accompany you into it, it may cause the secret realm to collapse."
"So I won't be able to accompany Ayan on this part of the journey through the secret realm. Ayan, please be careful."
Ruan Xiyan smiled and shook their intertwined hands. "I know. You're still waiting for me outside. I'll definitely come out safely."
It's normal that A Yu, who isn't from the cultivation continent and has a powerful identity as a demon, would be rejected by this secret realm.
Sikong Jian looked at the disciples of Tianyu Sect, gave them some instructions, and then waved for them to enter.
The disciples of Tianyu Sect stepped inside one after another. Ruan Xiyan looked at Jun Yu, who was holding her hand and reluctant to part, and smiled, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Lin Muze behind him let out a soft exclamation, "This is really unbearable to look at."
The air is thick with the pungent smell of romance.
Yu Qiqi kicked her from behind, "You single dog, what do you know? Sister Yan and Senior Brother Jun are clearly very sweet. Didn't you see the pink bubbles between them?"
"Tch! As if you're not single yourself," Lin Muze said dismissively.
"Also, where are the pink bubbles? Did you eat poisonous mushrooms and are hallucinating?! I can't see them."
Yu Qiqi slapped her forehead suddenly, "You're beyond saving."
After Jun Yu let go, Ruan Xiyan and the others stepped into the swirling water gate.
Jun Yu watched Ruan Xiyan's figure disappear from sight.
Many factions settled down on the spot after seeing their disciples enter the secret realm.
Each faction was wary of the others, fearing that someone might sabotage the competition.
The waiting time was the longest. Junyu never liked waiting, and no one dared to make him wait.
But now, waiting here for Ayan to come out, he finds it all quite enjoyable.
Sikong Jian glanced at Jun Yu standing there, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
This man was someone close to Miss Ruan. He had an extraordinary air about him, but Ruan could not sense any power fluctuations emanating from him.
If you say he has no ability, sometimes a single glance from him can make his heart tremble, and even his soul will involuntarily tremble.
He possesses the strength of the Supreme Realm, so this situation shouldn't have occurred.
After all, for a supreme expert, even the slightest fluctuation of power cannot escape their eyes.
Sikong Jian scratched the back of his head, utterly puzzled and unable to understand what was going on.
Moreover, his intuition told him not to provoke this man lightly.
Ruan Xiyan felt the world turn upside down, and after a moment of dizziness, she entered the secret realm.
She looked up and surveyed her surroundings. All around her was an endless desert, with yellow sand swirling in the air.
There was no one around except for the yellow sand.
She had already learned about the situation of this secret place from Sikong Jian.
The secret realm will randomly teleport those who enter to different locations within it.
It's possible that a few people will accompany you into the secret realm, and that the same few people will remain once you're inside.
It's also possible that they came together but were separated by an invisible force when they entered the secret realm.
Clearly, Ruan Xiyan falls into the second category. Due to the interference of the secret realm's power, she was separated from Wanwan and the others.
It's unclear whether Wanwan and the other two are together. If they have been separated and are venturing into the secret realm alone, they are likely to encounter danger and perish here.
It seems we need to find them as soon as possible.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the endless yellow sand, completely clueless.
In this desert, once you get lost, you may never find your way out.
