209: Chapter 209 The Exit Opens

In the time that followed, Cultivators within the Secret Realm gathered continuously toward the mountain gate.

Level 7 and Level 8 Flying Boats floated in the sky, the plaza was crowded with people, and some were sitting cross-legged on the surrounding mountain peaks.

They did not know what Lin Qing was planning to do, but in their eyes, Lin Qing held great secrets, and these people dared not ignore his threatening words.

As the number of people increased, some Cultivators who had clashed within the Secret Realm met again, and battles erupted at the mountain gate.

Lin Qing paid no attention to their fighting, but the surrounding Cultivators feared being caught in the crossfire, so they cleared out the plaza at the mountain gate, allowing those with grudges to resolve them there.

Intense battles broke out on the plaza one after another. Some Cultivators felt their hands itching from watching and began joining in to issue challenges, and a martial arts tournament of considerable scale was unexpectedly held at the mountain gate.

Battles between some of the Cultivators on the Dual Rankings drew continuous cheers from the onlookers, and even the rankings saw significant changes.

However, these battles did not involve the top ten of the Dual Rankings. The top ten Cultivators almost all came from super powers, and these experts had previously gone to participate in the Forbidden Ground mission; now, few were still alive.

When two days remained, Ling Shu and the other Disciples of the Three Sects returned. Everyone's face was beaming with smiles; evidently, they had gained quite a lot during this time.

Suddenly, a sentence from Ling Shu broke this pleasant atmosphere.

"Lin Qing, what will happen after we go out?"

Only then did everyone realize that they had been so preoccupied with the joy of their gains that they had forgotten the dangers they were about to face.

They did not doubt that those powerful figures would attack Lin Qing; after all, they themselves would have the same thought if they encountered such a situation.

If someone on the street encountered a stray dog carrying a Storage Ring, could they resist the urge to snatch it away?

In the eyes of those powerful figures, Lin Qing was the stray dog carrying a great treasure, so a conflict was almost inevitable.

"Rest assured, I have already made arrangements. You only need to stay by my side, and you will be fine."

Lin Qing hurriedly pacified everyone, because he noticed that some people were already thinking of running away.

Lin Qing did not care about the attitude of these very few Cultivators; he just wanted to complete his mission and bring these people back in one piece.

Two days later, the voice of Chuyun reached Lin Qing's mind.

"Lin Qing, the Secret Realm has completely stabilized. Should I open the exit now?"

"Wait a moment."

Lin Qing hurriedly gathered everyone together to have them prepare. Yang Jingchuan and Li Yaqing did not intend to draw a line between themselves and Lin Qing's group, and at this moment, they stood with the others.

Afterward, Lin Qing took out the tortoise shell and began to contact the Old Turtle.

"Senior, the Secret Realm can be opened. Have you arrived?"

"Rest assured, I arrived long ago."

Lin Qing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was also a bit nervous at this moment, but fortunately, the plan was proceeding smoothly.

"Sorry to trouble you, Senior."

Afterward, Lin Qing put away the Flying Boat and floated in the air with the Disciples of the Three Sects.

Seeing Lin Qing emerge from the Flying Boat, the Cultivators within the Secret Realm began to focus their gaze on him, and some even shouted:

"Lin Qing, why on earth did you call us here?"

Lin Qing ignored them and instead said to Chuyun:

"Chuyun, open the exit."

The Secret Realm began to tremble slightly, and then a huge curtain of water appeared before Lin Qing, exactly the same as the entrance to the Secret Realm in the outside world.

"The exit has opened!"

"How did Lin Qing know the exact time the exit would open?"

The Cultivators began to discuss it. Some sighed that they were finally going out, while others were amazed at how Lin Qing could know when the exit would open.

Others had dark colors flashing in the depths of their eyes. These people mostly came from super powers or other large factions; they wanted to see if Lin Qing could still be this arrogant after going out.

Although the exit had opened, Lin Qing stood right in front of it, and no one dared to barge through.

Everyone just watched Lin Qing, watching him take a huge, five-colored sphere from within his body, and then merge the sphere into the underground of the Secret Realm.

Some knowledgeable Cultivators recognized that it was the world origin and even exclaimed out loud, then quickly covered their mouths, though their pupils were still trembling wildly.

They knew what this meant; it meant that Lin Qing had subdued the Kunxu Secret Realm. Combined with what he said when he gathered everyone earlier, it was not difficult to infer that Lin Qing intended to take the Secret Realm away.

What audacity!

One had to know that the Kunxu Secret Realm was not an ordinary small Secret Realm; it was bound to the number one power from fifty thousand years ago, and its existence attracted the gaze of the entire continent.

After Chuyun returned underground, Lin Qing's voice finally rang out, carried by spiritual power to the ears of everyone.

"I give you one hour to exit the Secret Realm. After one hour, the Secret Realm will close again."

After speaking, Lin Qing took the Disciples of the Three Sects and Li Yaqing's duo and stepped directly out of the Secret Realm.

Once out of the Secret Realm, everyone felt gazes from all directions converging on them. The Disciples of the Three Sects were a bit nervous at this moment, but Lin Qing's expression remained unchanged as he led everyone toward Yun Feng's sword-shaped Flying Boat.

The Cultivators within the Secret Realm, because they feared Lin Qing's might, did not come out immediately after Lin Qing left.

And this hesitation of theirs made the Elders of the factions outside nervous. After the Secret Realm opened, only Lin Qing's group came out, and they clearly belonged to the same faction.

Thus, someone from a large faction asked, their voice carrying a hint of imperceptible chill.

"Little friend, may I ask why the others have not come out?"

Lin Qing responded indifferently:

"They will be out immediately."

As soon as his voice fell, Cultivators began to fly out of the Secret Realm one after another, and by this time, Lin Qing and his group had already arrived on Yun Feng's Flying Boat.

Yun Feng and Fei Luo first saw that everyone had returned and revealed a hint of a smile, then they transmitted their voices to Lin Qing:

"Lin Qing, what happened?"

Previously, after Chuyun opened Lin Qing's communication channel, Lin Qing had also sent a message to the two of them. However, to prevent them from revealing any flaws, Lin Qing did not go into detail; he only told them not to leave during this time, as something big was about to happen.

At that time, there were only ten days left until the Secret Realm opened. Even if they left first, they wouldn't be able to run very far, and instead, because they were separated from Lin Qing, it would be difficult for Lin Qing to protect them.

"A Level 11 powerful figure might be about to make a move."

"What?!"

The two knew Lin Qing's character, so when Lin Qing said something big was happening, they did not take it lightly, and they also tried to guess the severity as much as possible, but they never expected it to be this serious.

Sure enough, only a few breaths after the other Cultivators walked out of the Secret Realm, the voice of a powerful figure from the sky descended.

"Lin Qing, come with us for a trip!"
