405: The Miscalculated Demon Gate

Days passed, and in less than half a month, Qin Shi Lei discovered that the spiritual energy in his Blessed Land was already a hundred times that of Blue Star.

At this point, the speed at which the Blessed Land absorbed external spiritual energy began to slow down.

Now, Qin Shi Lei's cultivation speed in the Blessed Land was almost thirty to forty times faster than before his advancement, and this effect could be achieved simply by lying down.

Even though the experience he needed to level up was now massive, at his current speed, he could probably advance to Platinum Two-Star again in another half a month.

One morning, when Qin Shi Lei and the three women, An Qian, emerged from the Blessed Land, Tan Anguo was already waiting in the Qin An Royal Mansion.

"Qinwang, the Demonic Sect has now completely taken over Tian Zhao Country.

Outsiders, however, are mistaking the Demonic Sect for us, and now there is widespread condemnation of us internationally.

Should we explain ourselves?"

Qin Shi Lei opened the chat channel, and sure enough, it was filled with various attacks and condemnations directed at him.

"Baka, the hateful Qinwang actually stole all of our teachers; he wants to cut off everyone's spiritual sustenance.

Everyone, quickly condemn him!"

"Amaterasu, your people beg you to descend and strike down this damned Qinwang!"

"India, the people of Tian Zhao have completely succumbed to the tyranny of Qinwang.

Which unlucky country will be the next to fall?"

"Qinwang, you warmonger, you aggressor, may you die a terrible death!"

"Our country is only tens of thousands of kilometers from Great Xia, and now we can only hide in a corner, trembling."

News circulating from Tian Zhao Country revealed that the Demonic Sect had directly taken control of the entire Tian Zhao Country with overwhelming military force.

All kinds of top-grade items were plundered, crystals were seized whenever possible, and all beautiful women were taken away.

If the Demonic Sect was in a bad mood, or simply disliked someone, they would go on a killing spree.

Tian Zhao was living a life akin to slavery.

Compared to the current tragic life in Tian Zhao, the survivors in India even had the illusion that they were too fortunate.

Qin Shi Lei asked, "Does the Demonic Sect also admit that they are our people?"

Tan Anguo shook his head, "No, they have publicly stated that they have no connection with us, but few people believe them.

Later, the people of the Demonic Sect stopped explaining and simply let us take the blame."

Qin Shi Lei thought for a moment, then directly posted a video, declaring that the Demonic Sect had no connection with the Qin An Royal Mansion, and then paid no further attention.

He had just closed the chat channel when the Telepathic Talisman at his waist vibrated.

After activating it, Sect Leader Huangfu Feng's voice came through.

"Qinwang, we've discovered a Secret Realm; I wonder if you are interested in exploring it together?"

Qin Shi Lei pondered for a moment and replied, "Sect Master Huangfu, I'm truly sorry, but I've been a bit busy lately and don't have time to accompany you to explore the Secret Realm.

My apologies."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng chuckled lightly, "It's fine; then we'll cooperate if there's an opportunity in the future."

Qin Shi Lei was somewhat interested in the so-called Secret Realm, but the other party clearly wanted his help yet didn't say so directly, so he couldn't be blamed for refusing.

Far away in Tian Zhao Country, Sect Leader Huangfu Feng's expression immediately became very grim after hanging up the Telepathic Talisman.

"A Secret Realm usually represents some kind of opportunity; I didn't expect him to refuse."

His Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, Shi Yongzhen, said with a frown.

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng's face turned cold, and he said fiercely, "Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, why don't we gather all our forces, rush into the Secret Realm, and fight that monstrous snake to the death?"

Shi Yongzhen pondered for a moment, "The Secret Realm is, after all, that beast's home ground.

If we rashly charge in again, the losses might be too great.

It's better to find a way to lure that monstrous snake out, and then lead it into our country.

I don't believe Qinwang won't make a move then."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, this plan is excellent.

Then we won't have to deal with the monstrous snake ourselves, and we can easily obtain the seven-leaf marrow cleansing fruit from within the Secret Realm."

The two then searched through various ancient texts and finally found a way to lure out that monstrous snake.

Soon, several Snake-Luring Pills were refined.

Shi Yongzhen held the Snake-Luring Pills and arrived in front of a waterfall, jumping into the space exit next to the waterfall.

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng, with dozens of his subordinates, hid behind a giant rock, staring intently at the Space Secret Realm's entrance and exit.

Time passed minute by minute.

Half an hour later, Shi Yongzhen's slightly disheveled figure suddenly emerged from the Space Secret Realm.

Following closely behind, a massive figure also pursued him out of the Space Secret Realm.

It was a giant snake with eight heads.

Each head was nearly a meter wide, and its body was one to two hundred meters long.

As soon as the giant snake appeared, it hissed and lunged at Shi Yongzhen.

Shi Yongzhen might have been injured, but he showed no regard for his injuries, aiming in the direction of Hope City and transforming into a green rainbow, he rapidly flew away.

"Roar!"

The giant snake hesitated for a moment, then one of its massive heads shot out a white light towards the entrance and exit of the Space Secret Realm.

Under the attack of this white light, the entrance and exit of the Space Secret Realm suddenly shrank and then disappeared.

The eight-headed giant snake saw that its lair had closed, and only then did it pursue Shi Yongzhen's direction.

The Demonic Sect members hidden behind the giant rock were instantly dumbfounded.

"Sect Master, what should we do?" an elder asked.

"That damned stinky snake."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Let's go up and see if we can open the entrance and exit of the Space Secret Realm."

The group gathered around the former location of the Space Secret Realm's entrance and exit, trying several methods, but they couldn't open the Space Secret Realm.

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng had no choice but to take out a Telepathic Talisman and try to contact his Martial Uncle-Grandmaster.

After a while, it was finally connected.

"Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, the giant snake has closed the Space Secret Realm.

Do you want the giant snake to come back and open the Space Secret Realm, and then we'll enter the Space Secret Realm to kill it?"

Shi Yongzhen hesitated for a moment, "The giant snake is too powerful; letting it return to the Space Secret Realm might make it impossible to deal with it.

Let's use Qinwang's hand to eliminate it first, and then consider the matter of the Space Secret Realm."

He paused, then added, "Now, use the Telepathic Talisman to notify Qinwang, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Sect Leader Huangfu Feng said somewhat puzzled, "Martial Uncle-Grandmaster, notifying Qinwang at this time might also cause his displeasure.

I think it's better to follow the plan, lure the giant snake to Beian City or any other city, and then slip away."

There was no sound from the Telepathic Talisman for a while.

Then, an exasperated voice suddenly rang out, "I told you to notify him, so notify him!

If you keep nagging, just wait to collect my corpse, your Martial Uncle-Grandmaster's!"

"If I could slip away, do you think I wouldn't have slipped away?"

"And you all, quickly follow me.

I'm afraid even Qinwang and I combined might not be able to deal with this damned beast."

Listening to the slightly hurried breathing on the other end, Sect Leader Huangfu Feng finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

He immediately took out another Telepathic Talisman and contacted Qin Shi Lei again.
