93: A glass of red wine is so wild!
Tony Tony turned his head to look at the five young players behind him, who carried great expectations. His expression was unusually solemn.
"If you can successfully clear the dungeon, the Immortal Venerable will definitely reward you heavily, and future glory and wealth will be within reach."
"The chance to change your destiny is right before your eyes. Cherish it well."
"Alright, go on in!"
Swoosh—
Swoosh swoosh—
Under the gaze of countless spectators, the five young players from Peak of the Forbidden City stepped together into the vortex.
The Supreme Secret Realm here had been open for some time, and the team sent by Peak of the Forbidden City was undoubtedly the strongest team. All the players were waiting to see the result... Three minutes!
Five minutes!
Soon, ten minutes passed, and the five players from Peak of the Forbidden City still hadn't reappeared.
A look of nervousness and excitement appeared on Tony Tony's face.
However, in the next moment—
A violent fluctuation suddenly came from the vortex, and several severed limbs "swoosh swoosh swoosh" flew out of it.
Other than a few broken body parts, there was nothing else!
Tony Tony's expression changed.
"They failed!"
Among the surrounding crowd, some felt deep regret, some breathed a sigh of relief, and others gloated... "Despite all the preparations Tony made, he ultimately failed." Hong Jiu'er sighed.
"It seems this Supreme Secret Realm won't be cleared anytime soon."
Hong Jiu'er turned her head to look at Lin Du.
"You don't have much time left. If you don't go in now, what are you waiting for?"
"Five hours will pass quickly. Could it be that you want to die by my hand today?"
Lin Du smiled and gestured toward the vortex.
"There are still people who haven't entered yet. No rush!"
Beside the vortex, Cao Thief was standing in place with five young players from Three Kingdoms, all looking conflicted.
Following the precedents set by Rule the World and Peak of the Forbidden City, Three Kingdoms was caught between advancing and retreating.
In fact, Three Kingdoms had been holding back a major move this time; the players they sent out were not weaker than those from Peak of the Forbidden City, and might even be slightly stronger.
But seeing how miserably the Peak of the Forbidden City players died, Shameless Cao Thief was also hesitating whether or not to let his subordinates go in and challenge it... Just as Shameless Cao Thief was agonizing over the decision.
A tall figure, sporting a high ponytail and dressed in a small black leather jacket, tight pants, and long black boots, appeared beside him out of thin air.
That pair of long legs, which could only be described as invincible, attracted the gazes of countless beasts nearby!
"Boss, you've arrived."
Seeing Yuan Shu appear, Shameless Cao Thief breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Shu waved her hand. "No need for the challenge. You all go back."
After speaking, Yuan Shu walked toward Lin Du.
Seeing this, the trio including Hong Jiu'er felt as if they were facing a great enemy, their nerves stretched to the limit.
Following the appearance of the Yunlong City Power Rankings, a subtle tension had emerged between Three Kingdoms and Peak of the Forbidden City.
A battle for the position of Overlord of Yunlong City was bound to happen sooner or later!
But this time, Hong Jiu'er and the other two were overthinking things; Yuan Shu walked directly up to Lin Du.
"Boss Yuan, is something the matter?" Lin Du asked curiously.
Yuan Shu nodded. "I want to make a trade with you!"
A trade?
Everyone around them pricked up their ears.
"Please tell me, Boss Yuan!"
Since Yuan Shu had spoken personally, it was definitely not a small matter. Lin Du already had a faint guess in his heart.
Yuan Shu said, "You sell the loot dropped from the Supreme Secret Realm to Three Kingdoms, and I will guarantee your life during Year of Death One!"
Whoa—
This one sentence stunned everyone nearby.
Yuan Shu actually believed Night Ember could clear the Supreme Secret Realm?
Both Hong Jiu'er and Ning Fengya showed expressions of disbelief... Yuan Shu's judgment of people had always been sharp. Could Night Ember really clear it?
This thought lasted less than a second before being dismissed by Hong Jiu'er and Ning Fengya.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!
Lin Du smiled and cupped his fists toward Yuan Shu.
"Thank you for your high regard, Boss Yuan. If I decide to sell, Three Kingdoms will definitely be my first consideration!"
This was a sure-win deal, so Lin Du agreed first.
Yuan Shu appearing at this moment was also an act of goodwill. Her public communication with Lin Du would undoubtedly make those forces with ill intentions toward him hesitant to act... Lin Du checked the system time; it was almost time.
He turned his head to look at Hong Jiu'er and said with a smile, "Miss Red Wine, I'm about to start. Are you ready to prepare my foot-washing water?"
Countless players watched every move here.
Lin Du's remark made Hong Jiu'er's face flush with anger.
"You little scoundrel! I hope you don't die in the secret realm."
"Half a year from now, I will make your life worse than death!"
Lin Du smiled and made a heart gesture toward Hong Jiu'er, then pulled the reluctant Miss Bu Dong into the vortex... The two of them were actually exchanging threats, but to outsiders, the scene took on a different flavor.
"Wow, rich people sure know how to play! Their flirting is so unique. Hong Jiu'er is so wild~"
"The standard configuration for the Supreme Secret Realm is five people. Night Ember dares to just walk in with one delicate young girl? He's getting a bit carried away lately."
"That blindfolded woman is clearly just there to make up the numbers. Maybe she and Night Ember have some sort of ambiguous relationship."
"Although Night Ember is powerful, he was too rash this time."
"What Rule the World and Peak of the Forbidden City couldn't achieve even by giving their all, it's even more impossible for him to accomplish!"
"The Supreme Secret Realms in universe ol have only been cleared three times throughout history. Does Night Ember actually harbor delusions of becoming the fourth person?"
"That's simply wishful thinking!"
...After Lin Du and Miss Bu Dong stepped into the vortex, the world began to spin, and waves of intense dizziness assaulted their minds.
After a long time, the dizziness slowly faded.
When they opened their eyes again, they were in an unknown, desolate wasteland.
Miss Bu Dong had been here several times before, so she felt nothing in particular.
Lin Du stood rooted to the spot, feeling both sentimental and slightly dazed.
Looking at the boundless, desolate wasteland before him, Lin Du felt a sense of returning home.
By his reckoning, this secret realm had been with him for at least half a year.
This Supreme Secret Realm was the first one he had designed; it consumed countless hours of effort and took the longest time to complete.
Every detail and every monster here was personally designed by Lin Du.
Familiar!
It was truly too familiar...
"Black-Hearted Boss, why are you standing there dumbfounded?"
"You're not scared, are you?" Miss Bu Dong nudged Lin Du, pouting her small mouth and grumbling discontentedly.
Lin Du snapped back to reality and gently rubbed Miss Bu Dong's head.
"As the first employee of the Ye Clan Merchant Guild, this boss has decided to give you some benefits today!"
"Let's go!"
