It's really exciting!

Facing Han Paopao’s defiant gaze, Zhong Qing smiled without a word.

Phoenix Aotian, who was standing by, shook his head.

He teased, "Kid, don't tell me you think you can contend with us?"

"Do you have that kind of strength?"

Upon hearing this, Han Paopao burst into laughter.

"Let alone you three, what if there were thirty more!"

His voice was truly arrogant and wild.

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Qing was slightly startled, his expression becoming a bit subtle.

Phoenix Aotian, on the other hand, looked at Han Paopao with sympathy.

He wouldn't say it, but to utter such boastful words in front of an Emperor and his Master, he truly didn't know what to say.

At this moment!

He could vaguely understand the Dust Emperor's state of mind when he looked at him back then.

Should he say this guy was brave?

Or should he say this guy didn't know his place?

Beside them, the Red Dust Empress, who had been silent, glanced at Zhong Qing. Receiving Zhong Qing's tacit approval, she could no longer hold back.

She no longer suppressed her cultivation.

She directly unleashed the power belonging solely to an Emperor Realm expert.

Then, she extended a jade hand and directly covered Han Paopao.

The might of an Emperor.

Simple and decisive.

Facing the attack of an Emperor Realm expert, Han Paopao, who had just been arrogant and wild, had no power to resist and was directly suppressed by the Red Dust Empress with her bare hands.

"Hmm?"

However.

The next moment.

The Red Dust Empress frowned.

Even Zhong Qing's eyes flashed, and his interesting expression immediately became serious.

The Red Dust Empress had not intended to kill him, only to suppress him.

But the Han Paopao in her hand became as thin as a painting, leaving only a human skin falling to the ground.

"Master, this?"

Beside him, Feng Aotian's eyes widened. He looked at this scene in disbelief, saying blankly, "It's actually a fake body. When did this guy switch?"

Beside her, the Red Dust Empress's red lips were slightly parted.

She had to admit, this Han Paopao truly made her look at him with new eyes.

Zhong Qing remained silent.

But the profound meaning in his eyes could not be hidden.

He was very sure!

When he used his Heavenly Eye to search for Han Paopao around the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, this guy was definitely the real body.

However, when he pursued him, he became a substitute.

In other words, while being pursued, this guy performed a cicada shell escape right in front of him and a mighty Emperor.

He had to know, he had a Heavenly Eye!

Although he didn't constantly lock onto Han Paopao with his Heavenly Eye, to be able to escape his tracking, he had to admit, this guy was truly a talent!

Not only could the key he made be indistinguishable from the real thing.

Even his cicada shell escape technique was used with such mastery.

This future Disciple of his truly had some ability!

Not bad.

Just as he recognized Han Paopao's true identity, the System gave him a prompt that Han Paopao was the next Disciple candidate.

However, he didn't expect that the Disciple he had in his grasp would escape right under his nose.

"Master, all the treasures left behind are also fake," Feng Aotian ran over and said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qing nodded.

He was not surprised by this result. When he learned that Han Paopao was a fake body, he had already anticipated it.

"What do we do next?" Phoenix Aotian asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Qing waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the Void Domain first. This guy can't escape my grasp."

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Aotian looked at the shriveled skin on the ground.

As he pondered Zhong Qing's words, he seemed to understand something.

He whispered, "Master, could it be that this Han Paopao is the True Disciple you are looking for?"

Zhong Qing nodded.

"That's right!"

These words made Phoenix Aotian envious.

This Han Paopao truly had incredible luck to have a Master-Disciple relationship with his own Master.

However, he also knew that since Master had designated Han Paopao as a True Disciple, Han Paopao couldn't escape.

He would definitely be one of them in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Phoenix Aotian spoke again, "Since Master has now confirmed the candidate for the True Disciple, do you need Disciple's help to find Han Paopao's true body?"

Zhong Qing looked at the sky and shook his head.

"No need!"

"Although I haven't had much contact with this guy."

"But judging by his way of doing things, he has probably already left the Void Domain by now."

"Finding him will definitely not be something that can be done in a short time."

At this point, Zhong Qing paused.

"Moreover, the opening of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is not far off."

"It's time. To avoid further complications, let's take the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm today!"

For Zhong Qing, although the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm didn't hold much appeal for him, how could something at his doorstep be taken by others?

The reason he wanted to take it immediately was because Zhong Qing knew that the key Han Paopao made could indeed open the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.

If he truly waited until the time came to open it, and everyone rushed in, he would lose the initiative.

When these words came out, Phoenix Aotian was still fine.

After all, having been with Zhong Qing for so long, he was already unfazed.

But the Red Dust Empress couldn't help but part her red lips.

She turned her head and looked over.

She couldn't help but ask, "The opening of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm is at least half a month away. The time hasn't come, how, how can one enter the Secret Realm?"

Zhong Qing smiled.

He said indifferently, "Why do I need to wait for the Secret Realm to fully open to enter it?!"

These words made the Red Dust Empress a bit unable to hold back.

Earlier, Zhong Qing had mentioned that it shouldn't be difficult for him to obtain the Treasure Trove inside the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.

Good gracious, now these words were even more arrogant than before.

The Red Dust Empress really wanted to complain: Sir, do you even know what this Fallen Immortal Secret Realm means?

This is a treasure left by an Immortal.

Listening to this, how did it become as if the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm could be entered and exited at will?

Do you think it's your backyard?

But the Red Dust Empress finally opened her mouth, and in the end, said nothing.

After all, she knew her current status and position.

With her current status, she was not qualified to question any of Zhong Qing's decisions.

It's just!

Zhong Qing's understated expression, showing no regard for the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm that even Emperors coveted, made her urge to complain swell immensely in her heart.

She really wanted to see where this Sir's confidence came from?

This powerful existence who could kill the Dust Emperor with a single punch, if he were to suffer a setback in front of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm and have his boasts slapped back in his face, that scene should be quite interesting!

Thinking of this, the Red Dust Empress narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of cunning.

Zhong Qing gave the Red Dust Empress a meaningful look, then merely smiled slightly without saying more.

Soon, the group hurried back to the Void Domain.

...

Fengtian Hall!

Within the Nether Emperor's Four Seasons Dojo, thick Qi surged wildly, and space occasionally twisted and fluctuated.

During this time, he had been refining an item in the Dojo.

Although the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had suddenly appeared earlier than expected, attracting countless people, even several Emperors hiding in the dark waiting to get a share, breaking all his plans.

But even so, things had not truly gone beyond his control.

What truly made him feel uncontrollable was Zhong Qing, who had killed the Dust Emperor.

He smelled a dangerous aura on Zhong Qing.

So, this item he was refining was specifically to deal with Zhong Qing.

"Rumble..."

This day!

The entire Four Seasons Dojo, space twisted together.

Jiu You, waiting outside the Dojo, vaguely saw red light flashing within the Dojo, enveloping the entire world.

A dense, extreme killing intent seemed to be able to collapse space.

That killing intent, even a wisp of it, made him feel a sudden chill down his spine.

"This, what kind of ultimate weapon is this?"

Jiu You was horrified in his heart.

He had followed the Nether Emperor for countless years, only knowing that the Emperor's strength could only be described as unfathomable.

He did not know what this killing weapon was.

But he had a vague feeling that if it were unleashed, even an Emperor might fall.

As his mind trembled, all the anomalies within the Dojo finally dissipated without a trace, returning to peace.

"Where is Jiu You?"

The Nether Emperor's vast and ancient voice came, making Jiu You's heart tighten.

With a movement of his body, he directly entered the Dojo.

After cupping his hands and bowing to the Nether Emperor, he respectfully said, "What are your commands, Sir?"

The Nether Emperor stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the courtyard, his gaze directed towards the sky. "This Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, I have been planning for a long time."

"Now that continuous variables have appeared, I am preparing to personally go to the Void Domain."

"Zhong Qing's strength is extraordinary, although I have prepared a great gift for him."

"But to ensure foolproofness, you must control those Innate Dao Body who came from the Void Domain."

"Always await my command."

"Yes, Sir!"

Jiu You responded repeatedly.

At the same time, his eyes flashed with a hint of fanaticism.

Sir, is he finally preparing to personally deal with Zhong Qing?

It's truly something to look forward to!
