126: Chapter 126 Leaving the Secret Realm

While everyone was waiting, with one incense stick's time left before the exit passage of the Secret Realm opened, a terrifying figure shuttled over from afar.

An extremely sharp aura of Geng Metal Qi emanated from his body, and the entire person was like a drawn sword, exposing its sharp edge completely.

"Zhao Bian, Senior Brother Zhao!"

The appearance of Zhao Bian instantly caused the Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect gathered here to experience a wave of pleasant surprise.

Especially the aura blooming from Zhao Bian's body, which made the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shangyang Sect feel a surge of pride. With a hint of provocation in their eyes, they glanced at the gathering place of the Chiyun Valley Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the direction where Lin Shen and the others were located.

Because Zhao Bian, who suddenly appeared at this final moment, had also broken through to the Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Geng Metal Qi on his body was even incomparably sharp.

Seeing this Zhao Bian, Lin Shen could not help but frown slightly.

He did not expect that after only a few days, the Zhao Bian before him could actually encounter such an Opportunity, his cultivation had broken through to Late Stage Foundation Establishment, and that Geng Metal Qi on his body was simply terrifyingly several times stronger than before entering the pagoda.

Being able to obtain such a great Opportunity in a short period of time, the Zhao Bian before him must have had an encounter within the pagoda.

Looking at Zhao Bian, Lin Shen even felt a bit shaken in his heart about whether he had been too cautious before.

If he had searched more within the pagoda after obtaining that five-color spirit-nourishing green lotus earlier, perhaps he could have seized this great Opportunity from Zhao Bian's hands.

But this was only a trace of wavering.

Everyone has their own opportunities; that Zhao Bian could perfectly avoid him was also his Luck, proving that the Luck on his body and the Opportunity he obtained had no affinity with himself.

However, regarding this, Lin Shen did not feel any regret.

He had his own code of conduct; caution was a good thing, and one must not plunge themselves into danger simply out of greed for opportunities for a moment.

That was an unwise move.

Only under the condition of ensuring one's own safety, absorbing the obtained opportunities and treasures, would they truly belong to oneself.

Otherwise, even if one obtained countless opportunities and treasures, under the condition of being unable to ensure one's own safety, it would only end up benefiting others.

Similarly, that Zhao Bian was able to have an Opportunity was, for Lin Shen, actually a good thing.

Because this Zhao Bian had appeared in the pagoda together with Murong Qingyue, Li Yunfei, and the others.

Now his strength had ushered in an explosive growth. For the present moment, at this instant, the suddenly appearing Zhao Bian carried even greater suspicion than Wang Boan, whose whereabouts were previously unknown.

Under the current situation, with Lin Shen doing his utmost to conceal himself and appearing completely free of suspicion, the situation became even more labyrinthine and unpredictable.

Meanwhile, the moment Wang Boan by Lin Shen's side saw Zhao Bian shuttling through the air, his brows also furrowed tightly.

He originally thought that the Legacy and Opportunity he had obtained in this Secret Realm were already great enough, but he did not expect that this Zhao Bian also possessed a great Opportunity, and his strength growth was completely not inferior to his own.

Especially that sharp Geng Metal Qi blooming from Zhao Bian's body, which made him feel a trace of threat.

If just one Zhao Bian was like this, what kind of opportunities would Murong Qingyue, whose Aptitude was even more terrifying, and Chu Qingshu and others have?

Thinking that others might also possess the same great Opportunity, Wang Boan's previous extreme self-confidence could not help but weaken by a few points.

"Senior Brother Wang, the current Opportunity is only temporary. You are deeply favored by the Valley Master, and you are also the Valley Master's Personal Disciple. In the future, you will surely take over Chiyun Valley, and your future achievements definitely cannot be compared by this Zhao Bian."

Sensing the fluctuations in Wang Boan's inner heart afterward, Lin Shen spoke up in a low voice from the side.

Hearing Lin Shen's words, Wang Boan could not help but smile slightly, and his heart instantly felt much more balanced.

"That's right."

Within Chiyun Valley, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu favored him the most and was basically grooming him as the future successor, and this point was simply not something Zhao Bian could compare with.

After all, within the Shangyang Sect, although Zhao Bian was the Personal Disciple of the Shangyang Sect Sect Leader, he still had several Senior Brothers with equally outstanding natural talents, making the competition extremely fierce.

In the future, if he failed to seize power, he might be ostracized by the Shangyang Sect, and the resources provided for his cultivation would also be drastically weakened and reduced.

Thinking this way, Wang Boan's mood instantly became much more wonderful, and the gaze he cast at Lin Shen grew increasingly gentle.

This Junior Brother of his gave good pointers indeed. If not for Lin Shen's guidance, he might have gotten stuck in a dead end, which would instead hinder the cultivation of his Dao Heart.

Adjusting his mindset, Wang Boan no longer paid attention to the commotion over at Zhao Bian's side, quietly waiting for the passage to open.

Time passed quickly.

The time of one incense stick quickly elapsed. High up in the sky, a huge black hole floated suspended, and a terrifying suction force came from it.

Seeing this huge black hole, everyone did not hesitate in the slightest, their bodies quickly soaring into the air and flying toward this huge black hole.

"Junior Brother Lin, keep close!"

Wang Boan gave a word of instruction to Lin Shen behind him, and immediately a terrifying flame aura bloomed from his body, turning his entire person into a stream of fire that surged toward the sky.

Lin Shen nodded, his speed equally not slow. Thunder flashed within his body, and streak after streak of afterimages bloomed, likewise heading toward the black hole in the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Entering the black hole.

A wave of dizziness from teleportation struck.

When Lin Shen opened his eyes, the scene before him had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this moment, he had already appeared at the place where he originally entered the Secret Realm.

However, the scene appeared extremely solemn. Isolation arrays stood tall one after another, and the powerholders of the Five Great Sects, leading a crowd of Golden Core Elders, were all staring fixedly at this place with solemn expressions.

They did not show a trace of joy toward those returning in triumph from the Secret Realm, but instead, eyes filled with scrutiny swept across everyone.

"Lin Shen, Boan, come over here!"

At the moment when Lin Shen and Wang Boan were teleported out, before anyone else could react, a terrifying suction force swept over.

By the time Lin Shen and Wang Boan reacted, they had already appeared on their own Chiyun Valley's spiritual boat.

"Old Thief Gongsun, how dare you!!!"

Seeing that Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu actually took Lin Shen and Wang Boan away without waiting for them to react, Sect Master Li Yan of the Lihuo Sect and Sect Master Liu Bingbing of the Shuiyue Sect immediately roared in anger.

"What? Is there a problem?!"

A terrifying aura erupted from within Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's body, and a huge humanoid phantom emerged high up in the sky.

Standing on the shoulders of this humanoid phantom, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu looked at Sect Master Liu Bingbing and Sect Master Li Yan with a disdainful expression and said, "This Valley Master's Disciple, this Valley Master will personally question him. What? Could it be that you want to subject him to harsh torture?"

After Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu finished speaking, Zhao Bian of the Shangyang Sect and Chu Qingshu of the Qingmu Sect also appeared accordingly.

Just like Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, Shangyang Sect Sect Leader Zhao Yuanzheng and Qingmu Sect Leader Daoist Changchun also took advantage of the others' inattention, pulling Zhao Bian and Chu Qingshu to their sides with extremely fast speeds and enveloping them with a layer of shield to prevent others from launching a surprise attack and searching their souls.
