The speed at which the grotto-heaven and blessed land merged with the spatial secret realm was slow.
Qin Shilei estimated that the fusion would take at least five days.
After Qin Shilei's figure disappeared, Jin Jiuzi vented her fury in the spatial secret realm, but she failed to detect the existence of the grotto-heaven and blessed land.
As time ticked by, Jin Jiuzi finally accepted the fact that Qin Shilei had left and began to wander around the spatial secret realm with her large feet.
Near the entrance and exit of the spatial secret realm.
Jiang Zhen said with some apprehension, "Sect Master, Qin Shilei hasn't appeared for so long. Do you think he might have been trapped and died in the spatial secret realm by that giant snake?"
Huangfu Feng showed a hint of regret, "Alas, King Qin An achieved great success at a young age, but lacked a bit of prudence. How could he easily enter an unknown secret realm? If he were truly trapped and died in the spatial secret realm, it would be a great loss to humanity."
Although his expression and words were full of regret, all the members of the Demonic Sect could see that their Sect Master was in a good mood.
If Qin Shilei were trapped and died in the spatial secret realm, it would mean one less formidable enemy for the Demonic Sect.
The Demonic Sect might even be able to completely take over King Qin An's vast influence.
"Jiang Zhen, find a few Golden experts to guard here, and we'll head back."
After speaking, Huangfu Feng led everyone back to his city.
One day passed, two days passed, and the exit of the spatial secret realm remained closed.
The hearts of the Demonic Sect members began to stir.
Although they were in positions of authority in the Tianzhao Kingdom, they were still in a foreign land and had many habits they were unaccustomed to.
The language barrier was a huge problem.
Therefore, many people in the Demonic Sect still hoped that the Demonic Sect's base could be established within the Great Xia Kingdom.
On the third day, a Demonic Sect elder could no longer contain himself and suggested to Huangfu Feng, "Sect Master, it seems King Qin An is completely trapped in the spatial secret realm. Should we consider returning to our country to develop?"
Huangfu Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer. Until we see King Qin An's corpse with our own eyes, we cannot easily offend him."
Although he dissuaded the elder, he then got up and went to Shi Yongzhen's residence to plot with him for quite some time.
Following this, several people flew back to the Great Xia Kingdom from the Tianzhao Kingdom.
City of Hope.
An Qian once again took out the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman and tried to contact Qin Shilei.
Unfortunately, the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman showed no reaction.
"It's been three days already. Why hasn't Brother Qin sent any news?"
Zhang Xiaoli said with a worried expression.
"If the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman has no reaction, it means either Shi Lei's distance has exceeded the transmission range of the talisman, or Shi Lei has gone to another world or some secret realm."
An Qian guessed.
"I think Brother Qin must have gone to a secret realm. This is because the spatial rifts to other worlds are now forbidden for experts above Platinum level."
Kong Qingshu said plausibly.
As they were worrying about Qin Shilei, a loud bang suddenly came from outside.
They quickly ran towards the direction of the sound.
"Quickly hand over my people from the Righteous Alliance."
As they reached the front yard, they heard a chilling voice.
Looking up, they saw a middle-aged man in a long robe, with a long sword on his back, standing not far from the gate with an angry expression.
And the two bronze gates had been kicked open and sent flying far away again.
An Qian's heart sank, and she felt a bad premonition.
Forcing herself to remain calm, she stepped forward and said, "Senior, are you from the Righteous Alliance? Please come in and we can discuss this in detail."
"Hmph."
The middle-aged man snorted, "Are you deaf? I'll give you three minutes. If I don't see my three junior nephews, don't blame me for being impolite."
An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli exchanged glances, then turned to instruct Zhang Qiang, "Brother Zhang, go and invite Sun Hongying and the other two."
Zhang Qiang quickly returned to the front yard with Sun Hongying and the other two.
The middle-aged man glanced at Sun Hongying and the other two, and his face immediately darkened, "How dare you cripple their cultivation."
An Qian quickly explained, "Their internal vital energy has only been temporarily absorbed. As long as their vital energy recovers, their strength will not be affected."
The middle-aged man turned to Tang Yuanlong and the others and said, "You go with them first. I will seek justice for you."
Tang Yuanlong and the other two looked at the middle-aged man and his two subordinates with confusion.
Just as they were about to ask who the middle-aged man was, they were stopped by him speaking again.
"You go back to our secret realm first. We'll discuss the rest when we get back."
"Then we're leaving."
Tang Yuanlong suppressed his confusion, cupped his fists, and said, then pulled Sun Hongying and the others and followed the middle-aged man's subordinates out.
An Qian and the others could only watch as Sun Hongying and the others disappeared from sight.
"Hmph."
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "How do you plan to compensate our Righteous Alliance?"
An Qian suppressed her anger and said lightly, "It was your Righteous Alliance who provoked us first. Now that the people have been taken away by you, what other compensation do you want?"
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from the middle-aged man, and the gust of wind stirred up by the blast nearly snapped the trees in the courtyard in half.
"What provocation? Our Righteous Alliance clearly visited you with courtesy, but you detained us without reason. Shouldn't you compensate us?"
"Whoosh!"
A giant phantom of a phoenix appeared behind An Qian, letting out a loud cry as it fiercely resisted the middle-aged man's oppressive aura.
Zhang Xiaoli and the others also released their own auras, resisting the middle-aged man's pressure together with An Qian.
Although An Qian and the others were more numerous, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
After a short while, the middle-aged man actually withdrew his aura of his own accord.
"Quickly hand over a thousand slices of Enlightenment Tea and thirty thousand catties of mutated corn, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."
An Qian said with a cold face, "Senior, you are bullying others with your power. Aren't you afraid my husband will come back to deal with you?"
"Hahaha!"
The middle-aged man laughed wildly, "The number one person on Blue Star has such a fearsome reputation, yet why is he like a turtle hiding in its shell, afraid to come out?
Let me see how much longer he can hide."
After speaking, he directly charged into the mansion.
An Qian and the others quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Lithe vines, like lightning, wrapped around the middle-aged man, but he swiftly sliced them into countless pieces with a few sword strokes.
"Overestimating yourself!"
The middle-aged man turned and fiercely swung his sword towards An Qian, who had stealthily approached him from behind.
An Qian raised her sword to block, but the Heavenly Phoenix Sword in her hand was almost shaken away.
The middle-aged man, unwilling to give her any respite, continuously attacked An Qian with one sword after another.
An Qian resisted with all her might, but due to the vast difference in strength, after dozens of exchanges, she was still sent flying by his sword.
Thud!
She fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Subsequently, Kong Qingshu and the others were also defeated and knocked to the ground by him.
After defeating An Qian and the others, the middle-aged man turned into a gust of clear wind and charged into the mansion.
He wantonly destroyed the furniture along the way.
The storeroom was also quickly found by him.
The mutated corn and ordinary equipment and props were swept away by him.
Fortunately, the crystal source had already been transferred to the grotto-heaven and blessed land by Qin Shilei, so it was not seized by the other party.
After Zhang Qiang got up from the ground, he was about to continue to stop him.
But he was stopped by An Qian, "Let him steal. We will definitely make him return double in the future."
By this time, the middle-aged man had also quickly searched the entire Qin An King's mansion from top to bottom and reappeared in the front yard.
He said from above, "I will visit your mansion again in ten days. If you don't have a thousand slices of Enlightenment Tea, I will make your Qin An King's mansion uninhabitable."
After speaking, he turned into a phantom and disappeared from their sight.
