The Mysterious Realm is Not as Simple as It Appears

But is it really protection?

Floating Pagoda Sect Old Ancestor Ancestor Gu Yan thought of how many Human Race pioneers and Prodigies had fallen into the hands of the Yao Race over the years.

Countless times, they were severely wounded, only able to retreat to a corner of the land, silently licking their wounds.

However, this mysterious existence had never shown himself.

For Dragon King Ao Yin to say that he had no power to resist this existence, his strength must be extremely formidable.

If he truly stood on the Human Race's side, why would the Human Race have lived such a difficult life for so many years?

Recalling Dragon King Ao Yin's previous statement: It doesn't matter how the Human Race and Yao Race fight, but the Yao Race must not destroy the Human Race's Foundation.

For some reason, he vaguely felt something was amiss in his mind.

He always felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating the situation in Xuan Domain from behind.

Even more so, they had a feeling of being raised like livestock.

Among the livestock raised by ordinary people, once fattened, their fate is to be slaughtered, but a batch of seeds for reproduction must always be left behind!

Looking back over these many years, this situation is remarkably similar to the plight of the Human Race.

The more he pondered, the more solemn Ancestor Gu Yan's expression became.

His eyes slightly deepened, and he looked up at Zhong Qing, saying, “Domain Lord, we have something to report to you.”

“Oh, what is it? Tell me,” Zhong Qing asked, turning his head.

Ancestor Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then said, “Actually, even before today, I had some suspicions, but only today did I find an opportunity to speak them.”

“That is, I feel that the surface of Xuan Domain is not what we see!”

As soon as these words were spoken!

Ten Thousand Saints Gate Old Ancestor Old Ancestor Fang Quan’s eyes also moved simultaneously.

Clearly, he had long had similar thoughts.

Because having been in Xuan Domain for so many years, they had long noticed many unreasonable things.

Even the rejection of the Domain Lord had factors related to this.

Zhong Qing, seated on the Domain Lord's throne, looked over upon hearing this.

“Where does this come from?”

Ancestor Gu Yan organized the myriad thoughts in his mind.

Then he said in a solemn voice, “Firstly, the previous Domain Lords dispatched by Fengtian Hall are very strong; each one is a Great Saint Realm expert.”

“But not strong enough!”

“Because they are completely unable to solve the Yao Race disaster, and instead, time and again, they lead us into the abyss, as if they are specifically here to consume the living power of our Human Race in Xuan Domain.”

“With the power of Fengtian Hall, they could have sent stronger people earlier to solve the Human Race disaster in Xuan Domain, but they didn’t; instead, it's as if they are deliberately maintaining a certain special situation in Xuan Domain.”

“Secondly, I have always been unable to understand one question!”

“Why do past Domain Lords repeatedly take the extermination of the Yao Race as their mission, even their lifelong goal?”

“You should know that these Domain Lords all come from other domains in the Three Thousand Great Domains. Even some Domain Lords have no sense of belonging to Xuan Domain, but their attitude towards exterminating the Yao Race is surprisingly consistent, even fanatical, as if exterminating the Yao Race would lead to Ascension.”

“Finally, the mysterious expert mentioned by Great Saint Ao Yin earlier appeared too strangely and bizarrely.”

“On the surface, he seems to be protecting our Human Race in Xuan Domain.”

“However, we had previously been completely unaware of this person's existence. We never knew there was such an existence in Xuan Domain.”

Upon hearing this!

The expressions of the several Yao Race Great Saints beside them stirred.

Thunder Great Saint said with deep eyes, “When you put it that way, it really seems to be the case!”

“This Old Ancestor has also dealt with that one!”

“His strength is terrifyingly strong!”

“Just recently, I also received a warning from that one, saying that attacking the Human Race is fine, but the Human Race must not be exterminated.”

“Oh?”

Overturning Sea Great Saint exclaimed in surprise, “You received it too!”

Finally, everyone discovered that all the Yao Race Great Saints had received warnings from that mysterious existence.

Daring to threaten a group of Great Saints, this alone proves that the mysterious existence completely disregards the Yao Race Great Saints.

He even has the ability to defeat the several Yao Race Great Saints one by one.

However, the other party has never done so; what he cares about most is only that the Human Race in Xuan Domain must not perish, as for other things, it’s whatever!

And many Human Race experts, after hearing what the Yao Race Great Saints said, suddenly felt an immense sense of heaviness in their hearts.

Ancestor Gu Yan became even more certain of his conjecture.

He solemnly cupped his hands to Zhong Qing and said, “Domain Lord, based on the above, I have reason to suspect that some existence is targeting the Human Race, carrying out a terrifying conspiracy, and perhaps not only the Human Race, but the Yao Race may also find it difficult to stay out of it.”

Zhong Qing also frowned slightly after hearing these words.

Before coming to Xuan Domain, he had received a reminder from an envoy of Fengtian Hall in Void Domain.

He was told it was best not to come to Xuan Domain!

Now it seems that the waters in Xuan Domain are much deeper than he imagined.

Of course, Zhong Qing had no sense of urgency in his heart.

With the trump cards and strength he possessed, he was capable of handling most situations.

He did not stir up trouble, but he would not be afraid of it either.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing looked up at everyone and said, “As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals block; when water comes, earth covers. You all don’t need to worry too much; just carry on as usual.”

“If something really happens, I will act!”

Zhong Qing’s words seemed to possess a special magic.

It gave people a strange sense of peace.

...

At the same time!

In Tian Domain, Fengtian Hall.

In an exquisite and ancient courtyard!

The courtyard was not large, but it was very distinctive.

In the eastern corner of the courtyard, new shoots and branches of Spiritual Plants sprouted from the ground, lush and vibrant, full of life.

To the south of the courtyard was a pond, filled with blooming lotus flowers, displaying vibrant colors and shimmering with crystal-clear light.

To the west of the courtyard stood two withered yellow jujube trees, laden with fruit, exuding a strong autumnal feel.

To the north, a row of snowy bamboo emerged over the wall, their branches covered with a thick layer of white snow.

In the small courtyard, it was as if spring, summer, autumn, and winter were imprisoned.

A gentle breeze carried a majestic voice that resonated in the courtyard.

“My Lord, the layout in Xuan Domain is now complete; all that is needed is the east wind!”

“I imagine it won’t be long before My Lord achieves his desire and exclusively obtains the Treasure Trove of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.”

“Your subordinate congratulates My Lord in advance!”

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe.

His figure was burly and strong, his Qi profound as an abyss, standing like a small mountain in the center of the small courtyard.

His eyes were like ox pupils, and within them, it seemed as if the sun and moon revolved, and stars rotated.

If the Yao Race Great Saints of Xuan Domain were here, they would certainly recognize this person; this was the mysterious existence who had threatened them in Xuan Domain not to exterminate the Human Race.

His name was — Jiuyou!

“The Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is of great importance; until it is completely in hand, any variable is possible. Congratulations now are premature!”

As Jiuyou's voice faded, another deep, ancient voice sounded.

This was also a man dressed in a black robe!

He sat on a stone stool in the small courtyard, his entire body’s Qi seemingly merging with heaven and earth.

He gave the impression that heaven and earth were him, and he was this piece of heaven and earth.

This person was none other than one of the Five Great Hall Masters of Fengtian Hall, who had bestowed the title of Domain Lord of Xuan Domain upon Zhong Qing, the Nether Emperor!
