255: One step closer to home?

“Thank you. If I need it, I’ll naturally use it,” Tang Sirui said.

“That’s for the best,” Chen Xuan smiled.

In his opinion, the sudden events in this Secret Realm were definitely triggered by Tang Sirui. After entering this giant pit, Tang Sirui would likely acquire all the good things.

But as long as he ate this Peach Blossom… there was a high probability that those things would all belong to him!

Inside the pit.

Qinglan Jade was listening nearby. When she saw Chen Xuan possess such Heaven-Defying ability, her eyes became deep and complex.

“I never thought this Chen Xuan… was so deeply hidden. He even has such Heaven-Defying auxiliary skills. What Qinglan and I sought was to increase our own Luck, but I didn’t expect it could be achieved through this method… It seems I underestimated him before!”

She thought to herself.

Soon, everyone was ready and began to descend into the deep pit.

Although the gravity in the deep pit was much greater than outside, it was nothing to cultivators.

Everyone quickly descended to the bottom of the deep pit.

Qinglan was waiting in the pit.

There were also several small light clusters and one large light cluster, which belonged to people from other academies. But strangely, their light could not penetrate the darkness, only illuminating a small area.

“It’s so dark here!” Zhu Zhu fumbled in the dark, searching around.

“Everyone, cast your illumination Spells too!” Tang Sirui suggested.

So, everyone cast their illumination Spells, lighting up the entire bottom of the deep pit.

“It looks like there’s an altar ahead, I wonder what its purpose is,” Qinglan pointed to the location of the large light cluster.

Everyone also gathered around.

The altar was empty, and there were some strange symbols around it.

Among them, one symbol showed two Dragons intertwined with a pair of scissors, which made Chen Xuan’s heart skip a beat.

“It’s over, that woman really came…”

“What? What woman?” Qinglan Jade pretended not to understand, looking at Chen Xuan.

You brat, you really know a lot of women. It seems you’re not a good person either, definitely a heartless scoundrel!

“Yeah, Chen Xuan, what are you talking about?” Zhu Zhu, upon hearing this, also walked over curiously, looking harmless.

But Chen Xuan knew clearly that this little devil Zhu Zhu loved to get to the bottom of things. If he didn’t explain it well, she definitely wouldn’t let him off. But in this situation, he absolutely could not tell the truth.

“Nothing, I mistook someone.”

“Alright, I knew it. How could someone from the Lower Realm like you know people from the Upper Realm!” Yan Xi mocked.

“Alright, let’s see what these symbols mean!” Tang Sirui urged.

“If I’m not mistaken… this should be an ancient teleportation array. I’m not sure where it teleports to,” Qinglan Jade said faintly.

“A teleportation array…” Chen Xuan’s heart tightened upon hearing this. Could this be something that woman deliberately set up? Would it instantly teleport him to the Primordial World, then find his true body and dissect him for research?

“Cough cough, since it’s a teleportation array, and we don’t know where it will teleport us, if we leave, the Academy Grand Competition won’t be able to continue. I think we should just…”

Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, he heard a voice transmission.

“Brat, how dare you call me a woman? If you dare not go in, all of you will die! Including that woman who left earlier!” Bi Xiao Fairy said fiercely.

‘It’s over, it’s completely over. This woman really arrived, and she even witnessed me and Rou Wu. My life is forfeit…’

“Don’t what? Don’t take risks?” Zhu Zhu asked.

“Cough cough, don’t be impulsive. I think it’s better now to let Zhu Zhu take our spoils of war and leave, securing one spot conservatively, and then we…”

“I won’t!” Zhu Zhu gnashed her teeth in anger.

You’re so eager to flirt with this Qinglan Family woman, aren’t you? I just won’t do what you want!

“This is important, everyone’s hope is on you!” Chen Xuan said with a serious face, staring at Zhu Zhu.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhu stared back at Chen Xuan for a while, but soon gave in.

Chen Xuan wasn’t joking this time; she couldn’t disobey him. Otherwise, if Chen Xuan didn’t want her… she wouldn’t know what to do!

“Alright… then you all take care. I’ll wait for you outside.”

After saying that, Zhu Zhu gloomily took everyone’s spoils of war and left Tian Yuan Valley.

Seeing Zhu Zhu leave, the remaining people from the academies followed suit, also sending one person away.

“May I ask, Fairy, how does one activate this teleportation array?”

“Yes, Fairy, you are a high disciple of the Qinglan Family, you must be very knowledgeable. Could you please tell us how to activate it!”

After dealing with the matter, a group of people gathered around.

“It’s very simple. Just infuse the purest energy into it, and it can be activated,” Qinglan Jade said.

“Thank you, Fairy!”

Subsequently, everyone followed Qinglan Jade’s guidance and successfully activated the teleportation array.

Chen Xuan, meanwhile, pulled Qinglan Jade aside, full of remorse.

“You’re foolish! Such a good opportunity, and you didn’t ask them for any benefits!”

“Hmph!” Qinglan Jade pulled her small hand away.

“I am not a petty person like you! I don’t lack these few coins! Now that the teleportation array is activated, stop dawdling and let’s go!”

“Cough cough, no rush, let, let them go in first and see, who knows what’s behind this thing!”

“Stop dawdling, hurry up!” Qinglan Jade said.

“Stop dawdling, hurry up!” Bi Xiao Fairy said.

“Yes, yes, yes, this humble one will go now! But please don’t forget the people beside me, I still don’t want to be separated from them!”

Qinglan Jade: “?????”

Could it be that this brat discovered my true form?

Then Chen Xuan pulled Qinglan Jade again, entering the teleportation array ahead of everyone else.

He still dares to pull me. It seems he hasn’t discovered me, so what is he talking nonsense about?

Bi Xiao Fairy: “???”

No, I’m just giving you a simple good fortune, why are you making it sound like a life-and-death separation?

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was inside the teleportation array.

“If it’s to the Primordial World, then it’s to the Primordial World. It’s one step closer to my home. Maybe I can even go back and see my family!”

“Senior Brother, don’t scare me. What’s wrong with you today? Why are you saying so many strange things!” Qinglan Jade grabbed Chen Xuan’s arm and asked.

Chen Xuan looked back at Qinglan Jade, then pulled her into his embrace.

“You, what are you doing!” Qinglan Jade gently pushed him.

“You ask what I’m doing? Hmm? I never wanted to come here in the first place, it’s all because of you! Otherwise, I’d be enjoying good food and drinks comfortably right now. You need to compensate me for my losses!”
