80: In the abyss, Chu Jian and the others were far inferior to Ning Xiwei!

By now, everyone knew that they were trying to win over Sun Feifei.

Sun Feifei's value wasn't just that she was the Eldest Young Miss of the Sun Family.

Moreover, she was good sisters with Ning Xiwei, who was currently in the Secret Realm.

Their relationship was very close; they were truly like-minded sisters.

Winning over Sun Feifei wouldn't just mean gaining a future powerhouse with infinite potential.

It would also gain them Ning Xiwei's favor.

This was obvious.

This thought crossed several people's minds.

Chu Jian and the others weren't fools; they also wanted to follow suit.

As for the group of Western Archmagi who had just arrived...

Especially the white-bearded old man, Green.

He also saw through the situation here.

He couldn't help but also harbor thoughts of winning over Sun Feifei.

Such magical talent knew no borders.

She should serve their Twelve-Person Magic Association.

The treatment they could offer wouldn't be much worse than these local Eastern powers.

The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes revealing the same intent.

They grew anxious and began stepping forward one by one, wanting to win over Sun Feifei.

They called it "winning her over," but it was actually even more excessive—they were straight-up brown-nosing.

All of it was for the sake of Ning Xiwei, who was inside the Secret Realm.

Chu Jian stepped forward and said with a chuckle, "Miss Sun Feifei has the strength, and besides, didn't you know she is this Prince's guest? If you don't apologize properly, this Prince will make things difficult for you on behalf of the entire Chu Clan Dynasty!"

The Woman in the Black Mist also spoke up, "I see you're not young, so why are you being so impolite to a woman? Isn't she quite strong? Her strength is the young girl's own ability, not to mention Ning Xiwei also relies on her own power."

Then, the woman said to Sun Feifei, "However, Miss Sun, why don't you join our Demon Mansion instead? I'll give you the position of an Enshrined Expert, a high-ranking Guest Elder position, allowing you to enjoy treatment no less than that of an Elder. How does that sound?"

The two of them had said everything they could, clearly expressing their stance.

—Just join us.

The Female Demon Swordsman thought it over; she couldn't afford to fall behind at a time like this.

"Um, our Sword Pavilion is also an option. You're welcome to join us."

Sun Feifei had always been exceptionally bright, not to mention she was a quirky young girl; she had already realized what these people were trying to do.

She was no naive sweetheart, and Jie Dao had yet to state his position.

But it was clear that these people were only trying to win her over because of Xiwei.

Sun Feifei thought about it for a moment.

Actually, this situation could be put to good use.

It might even help Xiwei in the Secret Realm.

She had to borrow her good sister's prestige at a time like this.

Sun Feifei understood the principle of putting on a grand show to intimidate others.

Sun Feifei put one hand on her hip and the other to her mouth, coughing softly. "Well, how about this: if you all are willing to give me and my Xiwei some benefits today, I might consider joining you. After all, while I'm considering, my Xiwei might just fight her way through this entire Secret Realm."

Some of the experts began pondering their next move; in fact, they were already thinking about how to offer a suitable price and provide benefits to win over the young girl.

The Rank 5 expert who had been at odds with Sun Feifei earlier...

...his Face had now turned green.

It could be said he had no idea why such a thing was happening.

A group of experts was actually bowing their heads to a little girl?

What was going on?

The other factions on the valley also had sharp eyes.

Soon, a woman jumped out from the crowd.

She said to Sun Feifei with a beaming smile, "You're Miss Sun Feifei, right? My name is Lin Yurou, a Rank 5 Water Mage. I see you're lacking a companion and a maidservant to look after you. How about me?"

"Big sister? Is it free?"

Sun Feifei asked, looking at the sweet-looking woman in her late twenties.

Lin Yurou gave a gentle smile and walked over to Sun Feifei's side. "Of course. I'm just looking for a future. I'm a Loose Cultivator and need a better backer."

"Hahaha, then thank you, big sister! I'll call you Sister Yurou from now on."

Sun Feifei looked delighted.

"Mhm, alright. From now on, Yurou will follow the Eldest Young Miss."

At this moment, Chu Jian and the others were incredibly envious.

F*ck?

Beaten to the punch by a Loose Cultivator!

This is outrageous.

Dammit.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Lu Chen and his group had advanced further.

They had arrived directly inside the Abyss.

Their points were indeed quite high now.

But they seemed to be getting closer and closer to the true gods secret treasure.

The closer they got, the more dangerous Lu Chen felt it was.

The magic power here was far too abundant.

For Lu Chen, this was a good thing; it was like being soaked in an experience pool.

But for the girls, it wasn't exactly a good thing.

Too much magic power can be a bad thing.

Because of the abundance of magic power, Lu Chen could even begin to speak human language.

Suddenly leaping past Rank 5 caused Lu Chen's strength to skyrocket.

If he could reach Rank 8, Lu Chen would be able to reform his flesh.

And restore his original appearance!

Rank 8 was at least the level of a Skeleton General.

Just thinking about it was exciting.

In this environment, meteors began to fall continuously from the sky.

These meteors were all blood-red.

They streaked across the sky, dyeing the entire starry heavens red.

It was exceptionally eerie and beautiful.

As the blood-colored meteors pierced the eternal night, Lu Chen was holding Ning Xiwei's wrist, re-bandaging it for her.

Her previous injuries had not yet healed.

Lu Chen planned to take a rest.

At least they had now entered the next area.

Just who was that mysterious old man's voice in the sky?

Lu Chen was also curious.

At this moment, a nearby animal skeleton underwent some strange changes.

Morning Dew's Holy Light spell caused a light orb to blast a deep crater into the scorched earth in the distance:

—A charred body was clearly writhing.

"It's the remains of the Rank 8 Flame Karma Dragon from the illusion!"

Shelley instantly condensed an ice bow, her pupils shrinking as she saw the object in the charred corpse's arms.

She was worried that this thing would be affected by magical power...

...and be resurrected.

Even as an undead dragon, it would certainly be a high-level Rank 8 Demonic Beast.

They couldn't afford to provoke it right now.

Lu Chen, however, noticed something and walked forward, seeing a fragment of a flame crest embedded in the skeleton's chest.

This was the Flame Demon Contract Badge passed down through generations of the Ignis Family.

So it belonged to that red-haired youth with the alias?

The Ignis Family is a major Family in the Western Knight Academy!

The moment he touched the dragon skeleton, Lu Chen noticed a death memory sealed within the dragon.

Lu Chen used the Power of the Undead to undo this Seal.

He then saw an illusion: on a burning altar, a red-haired girl was plunging a dagger into her heart, lava flowing along her snow-white skin to form contract runes.

"Wait, I sense it! Is it that red-haired Fire Mage with the alias? Is he... still alive?"

Lu Chen's skeletal palm suddenly sank into the scalding sand.

Shelley curled her lip. "Zhao Si? That's a classic fake name! Students from the West who come to the East often take strange names, either because they're being tricked or they just find them in books or online—they're all aliases. He's definitely someone from the Ignis Family."
