"Amitabha, I wonder if revealing ourselves now is a good or bad thing for the Great Han!"
Zi Hui watched Zhen Gang, Yi Ri, and Bu Fan Gu depart, a sense of unease in her heart. The three major powers were no longer concealing their intentions, and she could imagine how tumultuous the outside world must be.
...
"Is this the hiding place of the secret realm of the last City Lord of West Hundred Cities?"
Yue Yun emerged from a spatial passage, gazing at the scene before him, a sense of awe gripping him.
Behind him, Bu Fan Gu, the Ghost Wolf Commander, as well as Zi Hui, Hai Ling Yu, and the beings who followed, were all filled with shock as they beheld their surroundings. Su Dan Novel Network.
This was a desert world stretching to an unseen horizon, its width immeasurable. Standing here, the howling gale felt like knives, stinging the skin of the beings.
Why would the last City Lord of West Hundred Cities choose to hide his secret realm in such a desolate place?
All the beings were utterly bewildered.
"This is likely not within the territory of West Hundred Cities!"
Yi Ri descended, reaching out to touch the warm, yellow sand.
"It should not be!"
"In the eighty-seven Dao Prefectures of West Hundred Cities, when has there ever been such a world!"
Zhen Gang shook his head.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar split the void behind the assembled beings, and Meng Tian, Guan Yu, and Long Yuan Shengzi emerged.
"Everyone!"
"The secret realm is within this desert world, but its entrance! You will have to find it yourselves!"
Gu Duo Er stated.
"Holy Son!"
Zhen Gang and Yi Ri stepped forward. Long Yuan shook his head, his expression one of exhaustion and pain.
Bu Fan Gu observed the scene, his understanding dawning. Long Yuan had not encountered the heroes of the Great Han, but rather Hua Fu Sheng Zi and Gu Xuan Sheng Zi.
"This desert world, according to the information I possess, is an ancient battlefield. Combined with the peculiar climate of this region, a bloody war formed it into its current state..."
Gu Duo Er said with a smile.
"What is this?"
Bu Fan Gu looked at a map that had appeared before him.
"This map is given to every ranked being. However, the maps you receive will differ, though the final destination is the same."
"Due to the unique climate of this desert world, many places contain ancient divine powers. Therefore, I warn you, to safely reach the general vicinity of the secret realm, you must rely solely on the map in your hands."
Gu Duo Er glanced at everyone and continued, "For the sake of fairness, my Gu family has set up some formations here. You will be randomly dispersed according to your respective maps shortly."
"As for who enters the secret realm first, it will depend on your own abilities!"
At once, Bu Fan Gu and the others frowned.
It seemed that with all these arrangements by the Gu family, they were not going to let them enter the secret realm easily.
The resources contained within a secret realm of the Great Saint realm, especially one belonging to the last City Lord of West Hundred Cities, were immense.
However, since the Gu family had already excavated the secret realm, it was likely they had already taken the most precious items.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin!"
Yi Ri glanced at Bu Fan Gu and smiled. With that, everyone vanished from their positions.
"Miss, the Great Han Dynasty now largely controls West Hundred Cities. It seems our decision twenty years ago was a miscalculation."
The old woman bowed her head.
"No!"
Gu Duo Er shook her head. "The secret realm is opening now, and all three of the Great Han's heroes have entered. Is this not a good omen?"
"The struggle for the secret realm will take some time. You watch over this place carefully. I have other matters to attend to!"
Gu Duo Er glanced at the desert world and disappeared.
"Yue Yun? Could it be that the maps held by the three of us are identical?"
In a corner of the desert world, Meng Tian, Guan Yu, and Yue Yun looked at each other in astonishment.
Their maps displayed the exact same information.
"Who?"
Zi Hui emerged with Ben Yun. "Amitabha, Zi Hui of Buddhism. Greetings, honored sirs."
"Interesting!"
Meng Tian looked at Zi Hui and the other, a cold smile playing on his lips. "It seems the Gu family has been keeping a close eye on our Great Han."
"Since our maps are consistent, let us travel together!"
...
"Hmph, you truly possess remarkable abilities!"
Long Yuan Shengzi sneered, looking at Bu Fan Gu, Zhen Gang, and Yi Ri before him.
"The beings of the Great Han Dynasty must have powerful beings behind them. Meng Tian and Guan Yu are by no means ordinary individuals."
"How powerful was Hua Fu Sheng Zi? With his tortoise shell defense in ancient times, who could break it?"
"Yet that human, Meng Tian, shattered Hua Fu's defense in just a few moves!"
"I fear that Yan Jin Sheng Zi is in dire straits!"
"Holy Son, perhaps you are overestimating them!"
"Even if Meng Tian and Guan Yu are powerful, outside the Gu Yi Zhai, there is still Zhang Zai. This leaves only Cao Wei in Chang'an City!"
"Holy Son, surely the Grand Elders of the Tian Gang Upper Sect, Ai Qiu, and our sect's Grand Elder, Jiu Bin, with the combined strength of three supreme experts, cannot fail to defeat a mere Cao Wei?"
In the opposite direction of Meng Tian and the others, Zhen Gang frowned.
"Exactly. Holy Son, we were indeed negligent regarding Meng Tian and Guan Yu. We never expected them to be so exceptional. Even Gu Xuan Sheng Zi and Hua Fu Sheng Zi have fallen or been defeated. However, there's no need to worry. Within this secret realm, with the two of us working together, it's not impossible."
Bu Fan Gu whispered.
...
Perhaps due to Gu Duo Er's favor, Meng Tian and his group, following the directions on their maps, traversed the desert world directly.
Along the way, they did not encounter the difficulties Gu Duo Er had described.
"According to the map, approximately one thousand li to the north, then heading northeast, should be the area of the secret realm."
Zi Hui floated in the air, his eyes fixed on the map in his hand.
"Then let's hurry."
Meng Tian glanced at the strange winds within the desert world.
Compared to the smooth progress of Meng Tian's group, Hai Ling Yu of the Hai Yun Divine Dynasty was disheveled. The beings behind him had nearly perished from a single drop of blood.
If he had not intervened in time, the Hai Yun Divine Dynasty might have ended here. The Gu Yi Zhai had a rule: all ranked individuals must be kept alive. If a ranked person died, the secret realm expedition would end.
"Boom!"
On the other side, Long Yuan Shengzi let out a sigh of relief, his palm shattering a broken treasure blade.
"Everyone be careful, this place is highly unusual!"
"Keep up, don't fall behind others, hurry!"
Bu Fan Gu shouted.
A day later, the sand slowly receded, revealing a flat expanse before Meng Tian, dotted with a few sparse trees.
About three hundred zhang inward, there was a massive mountain gate, upon which were inscribed several large characters: "West Hundred Jade Mountain"!
