Chapter 2307 2281 Peeking (One More Update)
Chapter 2307: Chapter 2281: Peeking (One More Update) Chapter 2307: Chapter 2281: Peeking (One More Update) Fen Kuang had been anxiously waiting for Ye Chen at the Mystic Moon Sect for quite some time and naturally had no objections!
Soon, Ye Chen and Fen Kuang, among others, arrived at the place where Ye Chen had first traveled to the secret realm.
Cang Ye, holding a formation pattern, asked, “Are you ready?”
Ye Chen nodded, and the scarlet gate once again appeared before their eyes.
Ye Chen and Fen Kuang moved suddenly, entering the gate. A moment later, after a bout of dizziness, Ye Chen and Fen Kuang found themselves in the midst of the altar.
At this time, at the center of the secret realm, there stood an incredibly tall, rough-styled stone palace.
This palace was the location of the Elder Council of the secret realm tribe.
The minimum requirement to join the Elder Council of the secret realm tribe was reaching the Sealed Gate realm.
Among them, the highest levels of cultivation were possessed by the sage-like old man, Fen Wu, and the elder, Fen Zhengkui.
Both had reached the Great Void Realm First Level.
In reality, the secret realm was the living area for the descendants of the peak-level experts of the Lingwu Continent.
This place, hidden from the world and focused on martial arts, naturally contained fearsome experts.
Not to mention the elders who had lived for either a thousand or ten thousand years.
Now, inside the main hall, the sage-like old man and the elder were seated at the main seats, cheerfully drinking and talking as if they were very happy.
Besides them, seated in the guest seat, was a young man leisurely savoring the fine wine in his cup.
He wore an indistinct black robe of unidentifiable material, his features handsome, his fingers long, and a slight smile always lingered on his lips, displaying pride and disdain as if he regarded nothing in the world with significance!
Judging by his behavior and attire, he didn’t seem like someone from the secret realm, and this man was none other than Fen Wuling!
He possessed the divine mark, capable of stepping into the Divine Kingdom!
The sage-like old man laughed, saying, “Wuling! Must you really marry that girl from the Burning Sky Family? Although she is the Family head’s daughter, which indeed makes her identity quite respectable, I’ve heard that this girl once had some incident with an outsider. How is such a person worthy of you?”
The elder chimed in, saying, “Indeed, Wuling, which woman from our secret realm hasn’t fallen for you? This woman really doesn’t know how to appreciate your favor! You don’t care about her past and are willing to take her as a concubine, which is already her good fortune! Yet she still isn’t willing? Heh…”
Although the sage-like old man and the elder were not related by blood to Fen Wuling, if they had to choose between their own progeny and Fen Wuling, they would undoubtedly choose Fen Wuling!
Why?
Because Fen Wuling was too important for the secret realm!
In fact, he was the one who could potentially lead them out of the secret realm to once again claim a place on the vast lands of the Lingwu Continent!
Fen Wuling’s potential was terrifying! Moreover, having been chosen by the Divine Kingdom, he had the chance to enter the Divine Kingdom in the future, where anyone from there would be a peerless expert on the Lingwu Continent, even capable of dominating the entire continent!
The secret realm producing a Fen Wuling was a promising future!
With a slight smile, Fen Wuling said, “It’s fine, as long as I like her.”
His attitude was casual, seemingly not holding much reverence for the two Great Void strong people; he continued sipping his wine after speaking.
Seeing this, both the sage-like old man and the elder did not get angry; their faces were full of smiles, evidently showing how highly they regarded Fen Wuling.
It must be said that although Fen Wuling could also be considered the bloodline of the secret realm, a descendant of ancient experts, his background was quite complex.
He had gone lost in his early years, falling into a Lost Land where he oddly encountered a Divine Kingdom’s envoy who took notice of his talent and exceptionally granted him a divine mark.
Until a few days ago, he had advanced to the peak level of Sealed Gate realm, possessing strength comparable to that of the Great Void, enabling him to break through the spatial barriers and return to the secret realm.
As soon as the sage-like old man and the elder saw Fen Wuling, they treated him like a treasure!
How many years had it been? How many years had the secret realm gone without a genius selected by the Divine Kingdom?
Seeing Fen Wuling, it was as if they were seeing the glorious future of their clan!
At this time, the elder smiled and said, “Wuling, by next year, you can enter our Heaven Pool, and I believe that at that time, your potential will see a great enhancement!”
Upon hearing this, Fen Wuling’s eyes lit up as he smiled and replied, “Wuling will not let down the expectations of the two elders.”
In fact, deep down, Fen Wuling did not really think highly of the people in this secret realm; perhaps because some of his own blood was the same as these people, but he was no longer on the same level as them.
The main reason he wanted to return to the secret realm was because of a Reincarnation Tablet!
He had learned from the Divine Kingdom’s envoy about the ancient times, and shockingly, the creator of this tribe had once controlled a Reincarnation Tablet!
Moreover, it was of the Fire Element!
If he could control this heaven-defying artifact, what would the peak of the Lingwu Continent matter to him?
He aimed for the pinnacle of the Divine Kingdom!
The sage-like old man sighed and said, “It’s a pity that after the last Martial Combat competition ended, an outsider entered the divine blood area and absorbed too much divine blood! This has probably impacted the quality of the divine blood area!”
After the sage-like old man finished speaking, Fen Wuling’s face darkened slightly. He put down his wine glass, stood up, and said, “Elders, I’m a bit tired and would like to rest now.”
The two responded amiably, “If you are tired, you should indeed rest soon.”
After Fen Wuling left, the smiles on the sage-like old man and the elder’s faces gradually faded.
They knew what Fen Wuling meant by “rest.”
However, their faces only expressed coldness.
The sage-like old man said icily, “Heaven and Earth Thirty-Six, what we are doing is for the future of the entire clan, I hope you wouldn’t blame us.”
There wasn’t a trace of regret in his tone, only disdain!
Fen Wuling did not return to his bedroom but rather twisted and turned through the complex stone corridors to reach the dungeon of the palace.
This place was essentially a prison!
It was used to detain and torture clan members who had committed serious offenses!
Now, within one of the cells, a skinny man was shackled to the wall.
The man had messy hair covering his face, and his body was smeared with blood, obscuring his appearance.
Soon, footsteps echoed.
Fen Wuling walked into the cell with a cruel smile on his face.
He looked at the man in front of him and said lightly, “Father-in-law, Wuling is here to see you again. How have you considered today? Is Fen Ying still unwilling to genuinely marry me? Would father-in-law like to persuade her today?”
The middle-aged man, marked with numerous scars, slowly lifted his head, revealing himself to be none other than Fen Tiangang, the Family head of the Burning Sky Family who had once welcomed Ye Chen!
Fen Tiangang stared at Fen Wuling for a while, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth onto Fen Wuling’s face, lifted his head, and sneered coldly, “You f*cking brute, you think you are worthy?”
