603: The prince gave in
They even thought His Highness the Prince was quite selfish.
He hadn't considered them from start to finish.
One must know, His Highness the Prince would later need to rely on them to compete for the spiritual fruit, yet here he wasn't even willing to waste a tiny bit of time.
They had never seen such a stingy master.
In contrast, the Third Prince was much more benevolent towards others.
Not only was he generous to his subordinates,
but his language was also very gentle, mostly speaking in a consultative tone, considering everyone's interests.
Just as they were grumbling in their hearts,
the Thatched Hut in the distance stirred again.
Several incomparably powerful Qi flew out from within.
Everyone looked closely, these were the Cultivators who had just entered.
They saw that the cultivation of these few people had all improved significantly.
Some were even on the verge of Breaking Through to the True Immortal Realm.
Everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts burn with eagerness, and their gaze towards Dongfang Chen became even uglier.
At this moment, those few Cultivators had already flown over.
“Hahahaha! There truly are Heaven-Defying Opportunities in here, you don't know, that immortal pond inside is huge, just soaking in it, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushes into your body as if it has grown legs, and your cultivation will soar in no time.”
“Indeed, this truly is the Great Luo Secret Realm, where even such Heaven-Defying Opportunities can exist.”
“Hahaha, this trip was not in vain, not in vain. With this improvement, after I go out, I will be able to Break Through to the True Immortal Realm and extend my life again in at most three years.”
Everyone spoke animatedly, their tones filled with excitement.
Clearly, the Opportunity they had just gained and the future Breakthrough made them extremely excited at this moment.
Not long after the words fell, many more Cultivators flew out from within the Thatched Hut in the distance.
The Qi on their bodies had all improved by a large margin.
Everyone was without exception.
Seeing such a scene, Dongfang Yao couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
“It seems there really are Heaven-Defying Opportunities in here, I even want to go in and soak.”
However, he then turned to look at Dongfang Chen.
“Fifth Brother, did you see? Everyone who went in came out with improved cultivation, and the number of people didn't decrease, nor did any of them have any injuries on their bodies. It doesn't look like there's any danger inside.”
“If you are still worried, then I will personally go in and investigate for you.”
Saying that, he didn't care how Dongfang Chen would reply.
He flew towards the Thatched Hut.
It wasn't long before he had already entered it.
And the Cultivators under Dongfang Chen could no longer suppress the restlessness in their hearts.
Moreover, they could have said to wait a bit longer, as there might be hidden dangers inside.
But now, everyone else had already improved, and even His Highness the Third Prince was going in personally.
This clearly indicated that the Opportunity inside was unimaginable.
If all the meat was eaten by others, what would they do later?
For a time, everyone couldn't help but speak up.
“His Highness the Fifth Prince, isn't your approach a bit too cautious? The Opportunity is right before our eyes, yet you can still restrain us, solely for your own benefit. It's a bit too selfish.”
“His Highness the Fifth Prince, why be so cautious, making us hesitant? At worst, we'll go in batches. Your subordinate is willing to be the first to enter and explore.”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people also requested one after another.
They wanted to enter the Thatched Hut.
After all, a duck at the mouth cannot be allowed to fly away.
Such a simple Opportunity, only needing a soak in the water to improve cultivation upon coming out.
No one among them was willing to refuse.
Moreover, the Third Prince's people had all already gone in and improved.
It was impossible for them not to be envious.
It was just unclear why Dongfang Chen was still unwilling to give in until now?
With such obvious results right before their eyes, what was there to worry about?
The numerous Cultivators were so excited.
Dongfang Chen also felt a bit helpless.
He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't agree now, his prestige in the hearts of many people would plummet.
He had already suppressed the thoughts in everyone's hearts before.
Although he eventually appeased them temporarily by offering freedom as a prerequisite.
But how could seeking Opportunity later compare to getting the Opportunity now?
Their hearts must have already been restless.
If he continued to suppress them, some might even harbor thoughts of betrayal.
Although he and the other several princes appeared harmonious on the surface, beneath it all, there was still overt and covert struggle.
If his subordinates became estranged from him, then even if this trip to the Secret Realm fulfilled his Imperial Father's entrustment, he might not necessarily gain any benefits.
After much thought, Dongfang Chen slowly nodded.
“Go, remember to be careful.”
As his voice fell,
before Dongfang Chen had even finished speaking,
everyone behind him flew out one by one.
Their speed was as fast as lightning.
After all, the Opportunity was right before their eyes, and no one would not want it.
In the blink of an eye, these people rushed into the Thatched Hut one after another.
Only Dongfang Chen and the two members of the Wang family remained.
Dongfang Chen hadn't spoken for a long time.
He looked at the Thatched Hut and let out a long sigh.
Then he looked behind him.
He found that Wang Yan and Wang Gou had not gone in.
He was immediately somewhat surprised.
“Aren't you two going in to take a look?”
Wang Gou shook his head and didn't speak.
Wang Yan spoke calmly.
“I listen to Gouzi.”
“Oh?”
Dongfang Chen looked at Wang Gou with some surprise.
“Brother Wang, do you have any insights?”
Wang Gou then spoke.
“Insights are too grand a word, I just feel that things are a bit strange, it shouldn't be like this.”
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Chen's eyes immediately lit up.
“I also have that feeling, but I still haven't found anything strange about it. Brother Wang, can you see anything?”
Wang Gou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
“I also don't know what's strange about it, or perhaps I'm being overly cautious. After all, this is the Great Luo Secret Realm, anything is possible.”
“It's just that I feel a vague unease in my heart, feeling that things aren't quite right.”
Wang Yan nodded.
“Then should we go in?”
Dongfang Chen also looked at Wang Gou.
He himself actually wanted to go in, but this feeling in his heart had always made him uneasy, which was why he hadn't chosen to enter.
If the other two chose to go in, he would naturally be willing to go with them.
But at this moment, several powerful Qi once again came from the Thatched Hut in the distance.
These people were all subordinates of Dongfang Chen.
As soon as they came out, their faces were flushed, and they spoke with immense excitement.
“His Highness the Fifth Prince, there really is an Opportunity in here, it's so magical.”
“Just by soaking in it, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rushed into our bodies as if it had grown legs, and my cultivation has improved quite a bit now.”
“Yes, Your Highness the Prince, this is a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, we cannot miss it. Look at our improved cultivation.”
