Chapter 117: Don’t Panic…

Countless gazes turned toward Lin Xun. Simultaneously, Jiang Qingshang, Ruo Wangchen, Sikong Wangxing, and Su Ying all looked at the masked Lin Xun.

Inside, Lin Xun felt as if ten thousand “grass mud horses” were stampeding through his heart.

He never imagined he would be set up by this Young Master She!

How on earth did he notice me?

Lin Xun glanced sideways. Several Loose Cultivators, as if their task was complete, quietly retreated and vanished without a trace.

Good grief, have these fellows from the Demon Race World already planted informants among the Loose Cultivators? Were they looking for me from the very beginning?

At the same time, Jiang Qingshang scrutinized Lin Xun, her elegant peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly.

Jiang Qingshang wondered what was so special about this man that he would attract the attention of someone from the Demon Race World.

But as she watched, for some unknown reason, Jiang Qingshang began to feel a sense of familiarity.

She felt he bore a slight resemblance to Lin Pei.

However, Jiang Qingshang knew this was impossible; he was half an inch shorter than Lin Pei, and his shoulders were over half an inch wider.

Her husband was slightly out-toed, whereas this man’s feet were parallel in his stance.

It was only a tiny similarity in body shape.

It must be because she missed her husband too much. Besides, how could her husband be here? He wasn’t a Cultivator.

Perhaps her husband was still teaching at the academy right now.

Similarly, Su Ying looked at Lin Xun with a smile, her cherry blossom eyes curved so that one couldn’t guess what she was thinking.

As for Sikong Wangxing, she was merely looking at the Loose Cultivator with curiosity.

Even as the fiancée bound by a marriage contract, Sikong Wangxing had at most seen portraits of Lin Xun; she had never met him in person.

Moreover, portraits of Lin Xun were varied: some showed him with three heads and six arms, some as a towering giant, some eating Demonic Beasts raw, some treading on skulls, and some even depicted Lin Xun as Godzilla.

So, even if Lin Xun weren’t wearing a mask, Sikong Wangxing wouldn’t have recognized him at all.

Only when Ruo Wangchen saw Lin Xun did her dust-free eyes suddenly light up, her glazed-like eyes filled with joy.

It was as if a young girl had seen the most beautiful thing in the world, or like a devout believer finally seeing their Buddha—a Buddha that belonged only to her.

For Ruo Wangchen, all disguises, falsehoods, and lies did not exist; her Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart allowed her to see the most fundamental essence of things.

‘Don’t panic.’

Facing the numerous gazes, Lin Xun steadied his breathing.

Lin Xun knew that apart from Wang Chen’s Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart which could easily see through his disguise, it was absolutely impossible for the others to guess he was Lin Xun.

‘And I don’t need to panic. I’ve already altered my physique, and this mask hides my appearance. I’ve changed all my habits; how could they possibly see through my identity?’

“Young Master Diao’s strength is formidable and left quite an impression on me. If this game didn’t have Young Master Diao participating, I’m afraid it would lose much of its fun.”

Seeing that Lin Xun remained unresponsive, Young Master She continued to speak with an air of familiarity.

Little did he know, Lin Xun was already mentally cursing his entire family tree.

But Lin Xun had to remain expressionless.

“This humble Daoist’s strength is lacking and cannot compare to yours. Since I cannot compete, I shall not participate,” Lin Xun responded in a deep, sonorous baritone.

“Loose Cultivators of the Myriad Laws World would shed blood for even a single Opportunity. This little game won’t cost you anything, at most just telling a secret, and yet Your Excellency won’t even participate? That is truly peculiar.”

Young Master She snapped his paper fan shut and smiled with curved eyes, a smile that made Lin Xun really want to punch him in the face!

“If this Fellow Daoist doesn’t want to participate, then he won’t. She Qiqi, why are you wasting your breath? Don’t waste time, let’s begin.”

Jiang Qingshang didn’t know why this person was so interested in a Loose Cultivator, but she didn’t want to waste time.

She had come here to save her Master, not to listen to their nonsense.

“Fairy Jiang is quite impatient.”

Young Master She also withdrew his thoughts of continuing to make things awkward for Lin Xun. Regardless, once they entered the Heiwu Secret Realm, he would either become his subordinate and serve him with total loyalty, or he would die inside; there were no other options.

When the time came, he would slowly torment this interesting Loose Cultivator and make him as obedient as a dog.

The interlude came to an end.

Zilin Holy Land, Sword Pavilion, Tianji City, and Bodhi Holy Land each presented an Elder of the Yupu Realm to be responsible for guarding the entrance to the Secret Realm.

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect sent two Cultivators of the Yupu Realm.

Under Young Master She’s signal, the Demon Race World likewise sent four Yupu Realm Cultivators to be responsible for “guarding” the entrance.

After setting up the Magic Formation, the entrance to the Secret Realm swung wide open with a boom!

Without much hesitation, Disciples from the Zilin Holy Land, Sword Pavilion, Medicine King Valley, Penglai Island, and other Sects were the first to enter the Heiwu Secret Realm.

Cultivators from the Demon Race World and others also turned into streaks of light and rushed inside. The Loose Cultivators around Lin Xun disappeared one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the number of Cultivators outside the Secret Realm had decreased by more than half. Only that silly girl Wang Chen remained, still looking in Lin Xun’s direction, as if she wouldn’t move unless he did.

To avoid letting others see anything suspicious, Lin Xun also hurried inside. What he had to do was simple: ensure Jiang Qingshang came out safe and sound. As for helping her rescue her Master or anything like that, there was no need.

Seeing Lin Xun fly into the Heiwu Secret Realm, Wang Chen also quickly followed.

For this silly girl, no treasure in the Heiwu Secret Realm was as precious as seeing Lin Xun.

However, Wang Chen had a small worry; she didn’t know how to shake off the Elders and Senior Brothers behind her.

‘I can’t let the Elders and Senior Brothers find out about Big Brother Lin, otherwise it will cause trouble for him.’

Just as Wang Chen was using her little brain to think of a way to separate from the Elders and Senior Brothers, suddenly, her vision blurred.

At the same time, everyone’s vision swayed.

When Lin Xun came to, he found himself already inside the Heiwu Secret Realm. The Cultivators who were originally following him had long since vanished; they had been scattered as they entered.

“Good grief, is this Secret Realm’s entry points randomized?”

Lin Xun scanned his surroundings.

No wonder it was called the Heiwu Secret Realm; it was indeed pitch black inside.

Black water, black trees, black soil, even a giant python slithering through the bushes was black.

And the most wonderful thing was that while heaven and earth were all of one color, you could clearly distinguish every object and see everything.

“Now how am I supposed to find Jiang Qingshang? How big is this Secret Realm?”

Lin Xun felt it was going to be a bit troublesome. Surely she wouldn’t be completely dead by the time he found her?
