233: Chapter 232 Formation, a Covert Target!

"Congratulations on your Breakthrough in cultivation, Martial Emperor!"

As soon as he appeared, everyone around bowed and cupped their hands, loudly congratulating Zhang Yang.

"Hmm, it is time. Let's go, Huanglong, to that Secret Realm you mentioned."

Zhang Yang's expression was calm. He nodded, looked at the former Master of Huanglong Valley beside him, and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Huanglong looked excited and nodded quickly: "Very well, Your Majesty, please follow me."

After speaking, he rose into the air and headed toward the location of the Secret Realm.

After Huanglong flew away, Zhang Yang glanced at the surroundings and instructed: "During the time I am away, keep everything as it is and continue collecting resources to convert them into essence pills."

"Do not expand our sphere of influence for now. First, collect all resources within our current territory. Everything will be decided after I return."

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

After arranging the plan, Zhang Yang also rose into the air, catching up to Huanglong in an instant and arriving behind him.

On the other side,

Due to the massive actions of Huanglong Valley recently, countless surrounding forces were alarmed.

Moreover, they had vaguely guessed that a Martial Saint powerhouse had appeared!

Inside a secret chamber of the Seven Kill Sect, 14 Peak Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists from various forces sat in a circle.

"You all know, right? That Martial Emperor, a mysterious Martial Saint powerhouse!"

One of them spoke slowly: "Now, let us discuss our subsequent plan of action!"

As soon as the words fell, one person spoke: "How do we act? That is a Martial Saint powerhouse. Who among us can defeat such an expert?"

"Are we just going to run away like this? You also know the rules set by that Martial Saint; all resources must be surrendered!"

"These are resources we risked our lives for countless years to collect. Can we really just hand them over like this?"

"Yes, indeed!" Everyone echoed, their faces filled with righteous indignation and their tones very dissatisfied.

The rules of that Martial Saint were far too harsh, requiring the surrender of all resources.

These resources were obtained through their hard work and struggle; how could they be willing to hand them over so easily?

"Why don't we abandon our current territories and join under the command of another Martial Saint?"

"At the very least, other Martial Saints don't have rules like that Martial Emperor?" another suggested.

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Although the logic held, as Peak Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists, they were accustomed to holding high positions.

They were not very willing to submit to another Martial Saint either.

"Everyone, running away is not a solution!"

At this moment, one person suggested: "We must strike first!"

"How do we strike first? That is a Martial Saint powerhouse. Even if we launch a sneak attack, it would be very difficult to kill the opponent, right?"

The person who made the suggestion smiled, looked at the gazes of the crowd, and spoke slowly:

"There is no need to worry about that. My Seven Kill Sect has inherited a Formation."

"Under the Formation set up by seven Peak Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists, one can even fight an Early Stage Dharma Image Martial Saint to a standstill!"

"And the more Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists there are, the stronger it is!"

"We have 14 Peak Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists here! Plus, there are several more Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists in our respective sects."

"If everyone works together to set up the Formation, as long as we strike first! Perhaps we can kill that Martial Emperor!"

Hearing this, everyone hesitated. This proposal was undoubtedly very tempting.

"Then let's do it! I don't believe that Martial Emperor's cultivation is that high. Even if he is a Martial Saint, he likely only just broke through to the Early Stage Dharma Image Martial Saint Realm!"

"Can 14 of us Peak Core Shattering Realm Martial Artists plus the power of the Formation not kill him?"

One of them stood up abruptly and said loudly.

The others considered it for a long time and slowly nodded.

"Fine, we will first test the power of the Formation! If it is truly as you say, then we will take the initiative!"

...

On the other side.

After flying for a full 5 days, Zhang Yang finally arrived at the Secret Realm mentioned by Huanglong.

"My Lord, this is where I originally entered the Secret Realm. There is a Formation inside. I accidentally activated the Formation and entered that Secret Realm."

Huanglong pointed at the cave in front and explained slowly.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Hmm, let's go in."

After Huanglong led Zhang Yang to the deepest part of the cave, he placed his hand on the stone wall inside and pushed hard.

Instantly, the whole cave rumbled, and a huge stone door in front was pushed open by him, revealing the Formation inside.

"Your Majesty, this is the Formation!" Huanglong pointed at the altar inside and introduced it.

Zhang Yang walked to the side of the altar and swept his Divine Sense across the entire altar, immediately imprinting the details of the Formation within it into his mind.

At the same time, he began to calculate this Formation in his mind. Before long, he had gained some insights.

This Formation was a spatial teleportation Formation.

"Let's go!"

After understanding the Formation, Zhang Yang stepped onto the altar, and Huanglong quickly followed.

Then, Zhang Yang took a step, and the spiritual yuan in his body surged, pouring into the altar, instantly activating the Formation within it.

Suddenly, the power of the Formation within the altar began to distort space.

The next instant, Zhang Yang and Huanglong disappeared from the altar.

"Is this that Secret Realm? It seems to be a Small World!"

Zhang Yang looked at the surrounding environment, and his Divine Thought surged out like a tidal wave, taking in the entire situation of the Secret Realm into his mind.

This Secret Realm was not located on the Tianwu Continent, but was a Small World attached to the Tianwu Continent.

However, there were no signs of human activity inside.

Under Zhang Yang's recent Divine Sense investigation, there were only some wild beasts in the entire Secret Realm.

"Your Majesty, this is that Secret Realm."

Zhang Yang analyzed the environment within this Small World Secret Realm in his mind.

He asked Huanglong by the way: "Where did you obtain that Storage Ring originally?"

Upon hearing this, Huanglong hurriedly led the way, taking Zhang Yang along. Before long, they arrived at the place where he had picked up that Storage Ring.

Looking at the small green bamboo courtyard in front of him, Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, this is the place. At that time, I picked up that Storage Ring in the courtyard."

"However, I only picked up this one ring at that time, and found nothing else, nor did I find anyone."

Huanglong spoke to Zhang Yang, recounting what happened at that time.

This small green bamboo courtyard was clearly built by humans, but when he came to this Secret Realm at that time,

He did not find any traces of humans in the courtyard, not even bones.

The only gain was that Storage Ring.

So, after his strength became powerful, he returned here once more,

But he still did not find anything, only feeling that this small green bamboo courtyard in front of him was somewhat strange.

"I wonder if Your Majesty can discover the secret within it?"

Huanglong looked at Zhang Yang in front of him, feeling very expectant.
