257: The Abyss Secret Realm has ended, and people from the Crimson Dragon Clan have arrived.

Several days later.

Inside the branch hall of the Canghai Palace.

“Young Master Su, thanks to you finding the map of the vicinity of the Canghai Palace.”

“Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for us to find so many Heaven And Earth Treasures.”

Liu Ruoxi said with some excitement as she looked at the pile of Heaven And Earth Treasures filling her Storage Ring.

Although that map wasn't entirely accurate—it was, after all, a thousand-year-old map—

Most areas were still more or less as recorded on the map.

Therefore, she and Su Yun had found quite a few Heaven And Earth Treasures over the past few days.

“Miss Liu, there's no need to be so polite. It was just good luck,”

Su Yun said dismissively.

“This Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm likely only has three layers.”

“We've searched for so long and haven't found the area leading to the next layer.”

“That should be the case.”

“I've heard that the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm only opens three layers each time,”

Liu Ruoxi said with certainty.

Thinking back on the days spent exploring the Secret Realm with Su Yun, she felt it had been particularly thrilling.

Once the Secret Realm ended,

She would have to find Li Xue to switch back to her identity as the Saintess.

Once she regained her identity as the Yaochi Holy Maiden, she expected it would be difficult to interact with Su Yun so naturally.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruoxi frowned slightly, feeling a bit of distress in her heart.

Just then, the entire Abyssal Sea began to vibrate, and an invisible force enveloped Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi.

“It seems the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm is about to close,”

Su Yun surmised.

He had gained quite a lot from the Secret Realm this time.

Not only had he intercepted several of Chen Hao's Opportunities, but he had also obtained many Heaven And Earth Treasures, enough for him to advance several more minor Realms.

A moment later, the two were enveloped by a colorless spiritual light and vanished instantly from the... Abyssal Sea.

On a certain reef.

“Dammit, why are there so few Heaven And Earth Treasures here?”

Chen Hao looked around with a dark expression and spoke.

He had previously been teleported to the Sunken Abyss Battlefield.

He had originally intended to quickly find the Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique Legacy.

But he hadn't expected to encounter a bunch of remnant souls blocking his path; for some unknown reason, those remnant souls had attacked him frantically.

Although he had dealt with them easily, it had still wasted a lot of time.

By the time he reached the Mountain of Inheritance, quite a bit of time had passed.

What distressed him most was that the Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique Legacies on the Mountain of Inheritance had all been taken by others.

Helpless, he could only pick three Cultivation Techniques that suited him at random, then find the entrance to the third layer and come to the Abyssal Sea.

As a result, he had only found a small amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures upon arriving at the Abyssal Sea; several areas that looked like they might hold a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasures had already been picked clean by others.

“Dammit, this exploration of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm is such a loss!”

“My Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique Legacy!”

Chen Hao clenched his fists, speaking with extreme distress.

Just then, an invisible force enveloped his body.

“Not good, could it be that the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm is closing?”

“So soon! I haven't found many Opportunities yet!”

“No!”

Chen Hao was somewhat panicked; he struggled to resist the teleportation force, but it was to no avail.

Following that, a spiritual light flashed, and he vanished instantly from the... Sunken Abyss Battlefield.

On the Mountain of Inheritance.

Countless beams of teleportation spiritual light flashed, and a large number of Cultivators were teleported out directly.

At this time, in a space of ice and snow.

A young girl dressed in an ice-blue gown opened her eyes.

She was none other than Luo Qingshuang, who had obtained the Legacy of Fairy Tian Shuang.

“Finally, it's time to leave the Secret Realm!”

Luo Qingshuang murmured.

Days ago, after Fairy Tian Shuang had handed over the Heavenly Frost Sword Heart Art and the Ice Soul Sword Body Origin to her, she had already dissipated.

Seeing that the Spiritual Qi here was abundant, she had remained here to cultivate.

In just a few days, she had advanced from the Nascent Soul Stage Level Two Realm to the Spirit Transformation Fifth Layer Realm.

“Junior Brother Yun.”

“We'll be able to meet soon.”

Luo Qingshuang's red lips moved slightly as she spoke in a cold tone.

She stood up directly, and with a thought, the space began to dissipate.

In the next moment, she was also enveloped by the invisible force and teleported directly outside the Secret Realm... to an open space dozens of miles away from the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.

A large group of Elders from various Holy Lands and Sects had already been waiting there for a long time.

“The Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm should be ending very soon.”

“The Disciples of our Tianyang Holy Land will definitely have the greatest harvest in this Secret Realm.”

A Red-Robed Elder from the Tianyang Holy Land stroked his beard and said with certainty.

“Pfft, it'll definitely be the Disciples of our Taiyin Holy Land who gain the most. Your Tianyang Holy Land is still a bit lacking.”

A Gray-Robed Elder from the nearby Taiyin Holy Land said with some indignation.

A moment later, a group of Elders from the Holy Lands were all arguing with each other, none willing to concede.

At this moment, a red-robed old man with dragon horns on his forehead arrived from afar.

He was surrounded by a heart-palpitating Dragon Flame.

This old man was precisely Long Lie, one of the Old Ancestors of the Red Dragon Clan.

He had only come out of seclusion today, and as soon as he did, he heard that the Soul mark of Long Jin, a talented junior of his lineage, had dissipated. Therefore, he hurriedly brought members of the Red Dragon Clan to the outside of the Secret Realm, prepared to investigate the cause of Long Jin's death.

If he died due to the Secret Realm itself, then Long Jin could only blame his own poor strength. But if he was killed by a human Cultivator, he certainly wouldn't let the Cultivator who killed Long Jin off.

One must know that Long Jin was one of the most talented juniors of the Red Dragon Clan in hundreds of years.

“Oh, isn't this Long Lie, the Old Ancestor of the Red Dragon Clan?”

“What brings you here?”

Several human Holy Land Elders said with some surprise.

One must know that the Red Dragon Clan hadn't appeared in the world for a long time.

“Humph, Long Jin, a talented junior of my Red Dragon Clan, died inside the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm. I am here to investigate the situation.”

“If it has anything to do with you humans, I certainly won't let you off!”

Long Lie released a heart-palpitating aura, making all the Cultivators present feel breathless.

“Tribulation Crossing Realm? Long Lie has actually advanced to the second layer of the Tribulation Crossing Realm?”

Many human Holy Land Elders said with some surprise.

One must know that Long Lie had been stuck at the Dao Enlightenment Tenth Layer Realm for nearly a thousand years.

They had thought he would be unable to break through, but they hadn't expected him to truly break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

“What does it have to do with us humans? It must be that your junior's strength was insufficient!”

A Holy Land Elder at the Dao Enlightenment Tenth Layer Realm said directly.

“It seems our Red Dragon Clan hasn't appeared in the world for so long”

“That you humans have forgotten the power of our Red Dragon Clan.”

With a casual wave of his hand, Long Lie sent endless Dragon Flames attacking toward that Holy Land Elder.

Several human Holy Land Elders at the First Layer of Tribulation Crossing Realm nearby were quick to release various Spells to block Long Lie's attack.

“Alright, Long Lie, do not make a move here,”

A Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land Elder at the fourth layer of the Tribulation Crossing Realm said in a serious tone.

Long Lie nodded.

Subsequently, he directly withdrew his Dragon Flame.

After all, the most important thing now was to find out how Long Jin died; nothing else mattered.

Just then, a dazzling white spiritual light was released from the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm, lighting up the sky within a radius of dozens of miles.

All the Holy Land Elders sensed powerful spatial fluctuations from the white spiritual light.
