246: They all entered the secret realm.

The starlight was brilliant tonight, with stars illuminating the entire night sky.

Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling hid nearby, watching Wu Caojun's group not far away.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Ji Wuchang's eyes; he had been here before.

However, that was a hundred years later, when this Barrier manifested automatically.

He still clearly remembered that after they entered this place, they discovered dozens of skeletons; aside from the decayed flesh, the skeletons were extremely intact.

Looking at the group of over twenty people in the distance and then at Wu Caojun's group, Ji Wuchang suddenly had a realization.

If he guessed correctly, those skeletons belonged to these two groups of people.

Secret Realms established by supreme realm experts are very dangerous, containing various traps and Puppets; one careless move could lead to being buried within.

His survival in his past life was mostly due to luck.

Cultivating in the Thunder Pool had greatly improved Ji Wuchang's cultivation, but Yu Ling was even more terrifying, having broken through several minor Realms in a row; she was now at the fifth level of the Soul Splitting Realm.

Ji Wuchang clicked his tongue inwardly; he felt that after her Breakthrough, Yu Ling was like a super Vicious Beast, extremely dangerous.

But Yu Ling remained as expressionless as ever, showing no joy over her Breakthrough in cultivation.

Ji Wuchang had gradually adapted and didn't mind much; he just felt bad for that Heart-to-Heart Communication talisman.

It was fine if she didn't want to talk, but even her inner thoughts were pitifully few.

Normally, people who appear cold on the surface have very rich inner lives!

But that didn't apply to Yu Ling; her heart was just as cold as her exterior!

Just then, Wu Caojun, who had been motionless, moved; his hands formed seals, and runes flew out, landing on the Thirty-Six Constellations Grand Array.

The flags on the grand array began to grow rapidly in the wind, and in just a moment, they were fluttering loudly, forming thirty-six large banners.

"In my name, I call upon the power of the stars to descend!"

Wu Caojun shouted loudly, his mouth opening as a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

This mouthful of blood was sprayed entirely onto the Thirty-Six Constellations Grand Array, and blood-red pillars of light shot up into the sky.

Tian Huafeng stepped forward and then shouted, "Guard the surroundings to prevent any changes!"

Hearing this, Ma Xinsheng, Wang Chunmian, Hu Baochao, and Zhou Fujian all looked solemn, pulling out their weapons with expressions of vigilance.

As the Thirty-Six Constellations Grand Array lit up, the stars in the sky suddenly shone brilliantly, and beams of starlight descended from the sky.

Exactly thirty-six beams of starlight merged with the thirty-six banners.

As the starlight underwent Fusion, the defensive Barrier began to tremble violently, its operation gradually slowing down until a special portal emerged.

When Wu Caojun and the other five saw this special portal, their eyes lit up simultaneously, filled with excitement.

"Hahaha! Wu Caojun, thanks!"

At that moment, the twenty-odd people hiding nearby stopped concealing themselves and flew over, arriving before Wu Caojun and the others in just a few moments.

The portal had not yet fully manifested and was at the final critical moment.

"Jiang Shifei, it's actually you!"

Upon seeing the group that had appeared behind them, Wu Caojun's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected anyone to be tailing him.

Jiang Shifei was the strongest among that group, with a cultivation at the fourth level of the Six Gods Realm.

He glanced contemptuously at Wu Caojun and then said with a smile, "I noticed you several acting suspiciously a long time ago."

"I sent people to investigate, and I didn't expect you were actually looking for a supreme realm expert's Secret Realm."

"This place falls under the jurisdiction of our Lingtai Prefecture's Jiang Family, so everything here belongs to our Jiang Family."

After Jiang Shifei finished speaking, the people behind him all had eyes shining with greed, and some even burst into laughter.

"Jiang Shifei, you're just a member of a small Jiang Family from Lingtai Prefecture, yet you dare to plot against us brothers? Do you think we can't wipe out your Jiang Family!"

"If you offend the people behind us, your Jiang Family can be destroyed in the blink of an eye!"

Wu Caojun and the other five gathered together, their expressions solemn, and a bone-chilling killing intent flashed in their eyes.

Hearing Wu Caojun's words, Jiang Shifei couldn't help but frown slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shifei spoke slowly, "Wu Caojun, since you were the one to open this Secret Realm, let's enter together and mind our own business."

"In the Secret Realm, all gains will depend on our own abilities, how about it?"

Jiang Shifei wasn't sure about the background of Wu Caojun's group, which was why he spoke so politely.

The Jiang Family had suffered a defeat in Jianghe City, and Jiang Guang had been killed, leading to a loss in the Jiang Family's strength; Jiang Shifei didn't want to bring trouble to the Family.

Wu Caojun looked at the twenty-odd people behind Jiang Shifei; he knew that if a fight broke out, both sides would inevitably suffer losses.

He had a map of the Secret Realm while they didn't; he could easily deal with them once they were inside.

After realizing this, Wu Caojun's heart was filled with killing intent, but he didn't show it at all on his face and instead nodded.

As more and more starlight fell, the thirty-six banners gleamed with silver, as if draped in a layer of silver light.

The portal solidified rapidly, and after a moment, it finally emerged and completely took shape.

"Hurry and go in! This portal can only last for five breaths; after five breaths, the portal will automatically disappear, and the Formation Flags will all shatter."

Wu Caojun finished speaking and entered the portal first without any hesitation.

Tian Huafeng, Zhou Fujian, and the others all flew up and followed closely behind.

With a wave of Jiang Shifei's hand, the crowd following him all flew up and entered the portal.

"Junior Brother, let's go in too!"

Yu Ling spoke softly, her presence still cold; with a flicker of her body, she entered like a wisp of blue smoke.

Ji Wuchang didn't hesitate at all, performing the Spirit Snake Step silently.

Ji Wuchang found that his speed was more than twice as fast as before.

Along with the progress of the Wind-Thunder Void Step, the Spirit Snake Step also improved rapidly.

Just as Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling disappeared, two pitch-black figures appeared; they looked at each other, and a sinister smile appeared on both of their faces.

The two then flickered their bodies and also entered the portal.

As these two entered, the portal trembled and then distorted.

At that moment, the Formation Flags exploded one by one, turning into powder and vanishing without a trace.

The defensive Barrier that had appeared also distorted and then quickly dissipated, merging completely with the small peak as if it had never existed.

Shortly after the Formation Flags vanished, several more figures flew in from the distance; they arrived at the small peak, and after scanning with their Divine Souls, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

They hadn't seen wrong; the place where the powerful star power had just descended from the sky was indeed here.

These people searched for another long time but found nothing, so they had no choice but to leave in frustration.

But some were unwilling to give up and kept watch on the spot, only leaving at dawn.
