20: We've finally escaped the secret realm!

Chen Xian quickly looked at the surrounding stone pillars. Although they were all inscribed with text,

the words 'secret treasure' were nowhere to be found.

"Impossible, this can't be!"

Seeing his expression, Zi Yun couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Wasn't it said that the Joyous Union Sect had three great secret treasures? Why is there only the hehuan pill?"

"I heard from my Revered Master that the Joyous Union Sect's only secret treasure is the hehuan pill. Their Sect Master was said to be worth three treasures by himself. Hence, they were called the three great secret treasures!"

Hearing this, Chen Xian plopped down onto the ground.

"Fuck me!"

If that was the case, then the intelligence saying Zi Yun would find two Saint-level treasures wasn't wrong either.

Two hehuan pills were already in their stomachs.

Now, their fates were firmly bound together.

"lecher, for now, we can only focus on getting out. My Revered Master and the others will surely have a solution!"

Zi Yun could only pin her last hope on her Revered Master. The Palace Lord of the Yaochi Immortal Palace must have a way to undo the hehuan pill's special effects.

"Let's look for the exit now!"

Chen Xian climbed up from the ground.

He felt utterly despondent.

Yet, he still said, "Wait a moment!"

"Hmm?"

"As 'Joyous Union Sect' Disciples, we should at least take some stuff from here!"

"Da Huang, pack it up!"

Upon hearing this, the large yellow dog beside Chen Xian opened its massive maw.

A frenzied suction instantly swallowed everything in the entire underground palace into its mouth.

Seeing this scene, Zi Yun was inwardly astonished.

Indeed, this dog was a Yao Beast.

Could its stomach store things?

That was rather peculiar.

After Da Huang had sucked away everything in the underground palace,

Chen Xian didn't let go of the stone pillars standing there.

"Hey, you... aren't you taking things a bit too thoroughly?"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Xian said, "This young Revered Master's life is already fraught with hardship. They set such a huge trap for us, what's wrong with us taking a few things!"

Soon, he stuffed these stone pillars into Da Huang's mouth as well.

Though Da Huang seemed a bit aggrieved.

Right then, Chen Xian stepped on some unknown mechanism.

The two humans and the dog instantly vanished from the spot.

Though, at the moment of disappearance, Chen Xian was still holding a brick in his hand.

Whoosh!

Under a pillar of light,

they returned to the surface!

However, the scene before them made both of them freeze.

Describing it as mountains of corpses and seas of blood wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Especially the bodies littering the ground.

Even Zi Yun couldn't help but be startled.

"Did a great battle just happen here?"

Chen Xian, even more so, was suppressing the urge to vomit. After all, he was originally a wage slave from Blue Star, and his original body was just a pampered young Revered Master from a wealthy family.

When had he ever seen such a scene?

Just then, Chen Xian's gaze suddenly fell upon one person.

A white long skirt, already stained with blood, but he could still recognize the owner of this silhouette.

He hurried over.

Turning the person over with one hand.

Seeing her face covered in blood,

he revealed an expression of 'just as I thought'.

It really was Liu Ruyan!

However, he remembered the intelligence saying Ye Wentian would save her.

Where was that bastard?

Zi Yun walked over. Seeing this woman, she immediately let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, men are indeed all lustful creatures!"

She naturally recognized this Commander of Jubei City from the North Continent; it was the woman she had met before. She just hadn't expected Chen Xian to recognize her based on a mere silhouette.

For a moment, she felt a strange, unpleasant taste in her heart.

Meanwhile, Chen Xian noticed Liu Ruyan's breathing growing weaker.

He immediately said, "Now is not the time for that. If she dies, the Da Gan Dynasty will definitely investigate. If the Demonic Cultivators get away scot-free, who do you think will be the first to be blamed?"

Chen Xian's words

instantly cleared Zi Yun's head.

Right!

Their Sect from the Southern Continent must not become the scapegoat.

Thinking of this,

Zi Yun decisively said, "Hurry, take her out."

One in front, one behind, led by Da Huang, they carried Liu Ruyan on their back and headed straight for the Secret Realm's exit.

A quarter of an hour later.

A man slowly regained consciousness right where the two had been standing.

He had clearly seen Liu Ruyan earlier. Ye Wentian had been coveting this woman for a long time.

Especially discovering she was seriously injured.

Wouldn't that mean he could do as he pleased?

But right then, a pillar of light struck.

He was knocked unconscious by something.

When he woke up again, there was only a pile of corpses here.

No trace of Liu Ruyan.

"Fuck, who took her?"

"Wait, am I dreaming?"

Ye Wentian fell into self-doubt.

Two hours later.

Finally, led by Da Huang, they walked out of this Secret Realm.

Chen Xian looked back at the abyss-like Secret Realm.

He thought to himself, 'Old man, if I get the chance in the future... I still won't come to see you.'

It was way too fucking eventful.

Inside were not only Southern Continent Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators, but also enemies of the Joyous Union Sect.

After this whole ordeal,

although his cultivation had improved, he was now cursed by the Joyous Union Sect.

If he didn't promptly follow the Joyous Union Sect's rules, he'd probably explode and die within seven days.

Chen Xian even felt a bit tragic. Damn it, he might have been better off relying on sheer luck back on Blue Star.

The moment the three of them stepped out of the Beast Forest,

they were almost all stunned.

Because the area was no longer empty.

Instead, a large group of people were in a tense standoff.

Two factions stood on opposite sides. Although no weapons were drawn, the atmosphere had already reached a freezing point.

The moment they emerged,

almost everyone's gaze fell upon the three of them.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Disciple!"

A Beautiful Young Woman in a white dress suddenly appeared before the three.

She anxiously grabbed Zi Yun's arms.

"Disciple, are you alright?"

"You worried your Master to death."

Seeing her Master at that moment,

all the grievances of these past days finally turned into tears as she cried in her Master's embrace.

At that moment, a person also stood before Chen Xian.

This person wore a crimson long robe.

The mandarin square in the center even depicted a peacock!

Chen Xian's heart skipped a beat.

A third-rank civil official of the Da Gan Dynasty.

Although a civil official, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

Chen Xian promptly placed Liu Ruyan on the ground and respectfully said, "This humble commoner pays his respects, my lord!"

"Hmm!"

The man said haughtily, "Who are you?"

"This humble commoner is a Cultivator from the North Continent. I saw Lady Liu Ruyan seriously injured and carried her out."

"Well done! What happened inside?"

Chen Xian shook his head.

This was what he and Zi Yun had agreed upon earlier.

He was just a nobody.

After all, at times like this, the lower the profile, the better.

Moreover, Zi Yun had also agreed with Chen Xian's idea. After all, she didn't want outsiders to see a Fairy from the Yaochi Immortal Palace associated with a lecher.
