Chapter 1431 Interrogation
“We’ll wait again. First, we’ll ask the nearby teams for help. Then, we’ll report to the higher-ups that there is a dangerous secret realm here.”
No one knew if Xu Hang was still alive in the secret realm.
Hua Churan had no choice but to act as the captain. She didn’t like the feeling of carrying a heavy burden, so she could only ask others for help.
At the same time, she looked at Mengmeng and said, “You two were the last ones to come out. What did Senior Brother Xu Hang say? Did you see where he was at last? Also, how did the exit disappear?”
In the face of her doubts, Zhang Han let out a long sigh and said, “Before we came out, Senior Brother Xu Hang was entangled by dozens of Demonic Vines. He was struggling. We tried to save him, but he wouldn’t allow us to do so. He even gave me his s.p.a.ce Ring…”
As Zhang Han spoke, he opened his palm. In it was a s.p.a.ce Ring, which was a treasure from Xu Hang.
Giving such a private treasure to someone else meant that Xu Hang was most likely dead.
Everyone was well aware of this, so the scene gradually quieted down.
After a long wait.
Finally, five squads arrived in succession.
“Protector An is busy with something. A huge secret realm has appeared in the central area. Our Third Elder, Taoist Heavenlight, has led a team there. We’re also ready to go there and provide reinforcements. Now that the people of the Heavenly Evil Sect have learned about it, we have to hurry up. We just pa.s.sed by here and heard that something happened to your team. How could something go wrong while you’re led by Xu Hang?”
“Senior Brother Xu Hang is trapped in a small secret realm nearby. The enemies, the Demonic Vines, are very powerful. Hurry and save him!” a disciple said.
He made it very urgent.
However, after searching the surrounding five miles, the squads didn’t find the entrance. As for Hua Churan and the others, they didn’t know anything about it. The environment here was completely different from the entrance to the secret realm they had been in.
“Spatial magic. This secret realm is not to be underestimated. We can’t find him. Xu Hang will have to rely on his own luck to get out.”
The captains of the several teams shook their heads and sighed.
“There’s no time to lose. We’re going to the central area. Junior Sister Hua, why don’t you come with us? We can make proper arrangements when we arrive at the place.”
His proposal was rejected.
“No, no. There are more crises in the central area. It’s easy to meet the people from the other three sects there. If we go there while taking care of them, it will be more dangerous. I feel that they should leave the Wind-Witches Evilland first and go back to the base to wait. They can form a new team soon.”
Their strength was not high, and it would be a burden if they had more people join them.
After thinking for a while, one of the captains said, “Junior Sister Hua, if you want to go to the central area, you can follow me. The rest of you’d better go back to the base.”
“I… Okay.” Hua Churan’s expression was complicated. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded.
If she went to the central area, she could stay by the Third Elder. If she go to the base outside, she would have to wait bitterly.
After thinking for a while, Hua Churan decided to follow the other teams.
“You guys go back the way you came.”
The others were not treated so well, and they were not willing to be a burden.
Hence, everyone could only watch as those squads left.
“We are the only ones left.”
A senior disciple said, “We can’t be in disorder. I’ll be the captain for the rest of the journey. No objections?”
“You want to be the captain? Who do you think you are to be the captain?”
“You can’t do it. Your strength is not as high as mine. It’s not appropriate for you to be the captain.”
“We don’t need a captain. We just need to go back the way we came.”
The group was in a mess.
Zhang Han glanced at Mengmeng and gave her a look. Then, the two of them walked into the depths of the jungle and followed the route that those teams were taking.
“Zhang Hanyang, Yefeng, where are you two going?”
The people behind them called out twice, but they were ignored.
The crowd then left helplessly.
“Daddy, are we going in the right direction?” Mengmeng said, “Three of those teams are flying in other directions. Are we sticking to one team?”
“Those teams have gone to a secret realm not far away and are ready to support other teams,” Zhang Han said.
As he spoke, he suddenly said, “Eh?”
“What’s the matter?” Mengmeng was stunned.
“The secret realm they’re going to is discovered by your Aunty Xue,” Zhang Han said slowly, with a slightly strange look.
“Aunty Xue is here?” Mengmeng’s eyes lit up.
“Then let’s hurry over there.”
The little princess had a good relations.h.i.+p with Mu Xue.
At this time, in the front.
In the team where Hua Churan was, while the guys were chatting with each other, someone told Hua Churan the latest news.
“The situation is just as the elders expected. The other sects have also sent out many young talents as well.”
“We’re going to a super canyon. It’s said that Mu Xue, the new talent of the Heavenly Evil Sect, found it. She’s very powerful and has many moves. No one knows what her limit is. More than ten talents of the Heavenly Evil Sect have been taught a lesson by her.”
“The disciples shall be challenged and selected during the practice. There are more and more talented ones. There are also quite a few talents in our Crimson Sunglow Sect.”
“Of course there are. It’s precisely because we have too many stunningly powerful disciples that we don’t often have only a few characters who are said to be quite formidable like the three other sects. But in actuality, they’re just n.o.bodies. They all have to make way for us when they meet us.”
“…”
After hearing these comments, Zhang Han told Mengmeng that Mu Xue was also there.
It was naturally a good thing for them to reunite with one more person.
With someone leading the way in the front, the rest could be at ease. Zhang Han and Mengmeng followed them leisurely. Dahei stuck out its head from time to time and watched for a few minutes before going back to sleep.
Just like that, they advanced for three more days.
They had finally arrived at their destination.
There were quite a few teams in the jungle of a huge canyon.
Some of them belonged to the Heavenly Evil Sect, a few of them were from the Authentic Martial Arts Sect, and Crimson Sunglow Sect had the most teams.
There were many disciples in groups of three to five.
Hua Churan looked around and didn’t find the Third Elder.
“The elder and an elder of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect have entered a big secret realm. They need to do a simple investigation and then let the main force in.”
“I guess it won’t take long. The Authentic Martial Arts Sect has also discovered this place. In another two or three days, their teams will also come.”
“There were dozens of people who entered first. I heard that there were treasures, as well as spiritual herbs, everywhere in that secret realm. However, most of them were s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Mu Xue. She hasn’t come out yet.”
“…”
Through other people’s chats, it was not difficult to detect the situation here.
“Let’s go forward.”
Zhang Han took Mengmeng forward, intending to feel the fluctuations of the Relic near the canyon.
On the way, they could occasionally see a team of dozens of people in the forest.
Someone shouted, “Which sect do you belong to?”
“How dare you stroll around here without wearing the token of the Heavenly Evil Sect? Do you want to die?”
Seeing this, Zhang Han was stunned. It turned out that the teams wandering out here were occupying territories.
“But what’s the point of that?”
Zhang Han looked at them silently, then retreated hundreds of meters with Mengmeng and walked forward through the gap on the side.
If Mu Xue was not in the secret realm, Zhang Han could just watch the fun from behind. But since she was in it, he planned to explore it first.
Only by getting to know the situation could he have more ideas.
Zhang Han and Mengmeng walked to the front.
“Hmm?”
Hua Churan, who was not far away, frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, “What are you two doing here?”
“Mind your own business,” Mengmeng snorted and said.
“Huh.”
Hua Churan’s face was cold and she didn’t say anything, but the men beside her were confused.
“Senior Sister Hua, who are these people?”
“Zhang Hanyang and Yefeng.” Hua Churan said with a cold face, “They are irrelevant people who don’t follow the rules. Don’t worry about them.”
As the team moved forward to the place where the Crimson Sunglow Sect was stationed, the number of people gradually increased. There was a large group of people closest to the valley, among whom stood Xuan Chen, who had long been famous.
“Junior Sister, nice to see you here.” Xuan Chen revealed a smile when he saw Hua Churan.
“Senior Brother Xuan Chen,” Hua Churan greeted him.
She was quite strange. She knew that Xuan Chen liked her, but she didn’t feel anything for him. On the contrary, she was loyal to Zhang Hanyang, who had just joined the sect, and she didn’t even hesitate to give herself to him.
“However, Zhang Hanyang is actually a girl!”
Thinking of this, Hua Churan had mixed feelings.
Now that she saw Xuan Chen, she became more indifferent. She just didn’t have any feelings for him.
“I heard that you would also take this training, so I had Xu Hang choose you. But… did something happen to him?” asked Xuan Chen.
“Yes. Something went wrong. He’s trapped in a secret realm.” Hua Chuchu’s voice was lower.
No one knew if he was dead or alive.
“I heard that you guys were hunted down by the Demonic Vines in the secret realm. Except for Xu Hang, Zhang Hanyang, and Yefeng, the rest of you escaped,” Xuan Chen said slowly.
“Yes. In order to save people, Senior Brother Xu Hang…”
“Senior Brother, Zhang Hanyang and Yefeng are over there.”
“Is that so?” Xuan Chen’s brows rose slightly. “Call them over.”
“Yes, sir.”
A few of his men left with a dozen people.
“They were the only ones in there. Junior Sister Hua, you don’t mind me overstepping my authority and asking about your Orchid Peak’s new disciples, do you?” Xuan Chen asked, smiling.
“That’s okay.” Hua Churan’s face did not change.
This instead caused Xuan Chen to narrow his eyes.
He seemed to hear a few discussions around him.
“I heard that Xu Hang is trapped in a secret realm.”
“It means that he’s probably dead.”
“I feel sorry for him. Xu Hang is so smart, and he has never schemed against others.”
Xu Hang and Xuan Chen naturally had some enemies, so the crowd couldn’t help but ridicule them.
However, this didn’t cause Xuan Chen’s expression to change. It was unknown whether or not he was angry.
“Senior Brother!”
Everyone thought that Xuan Chen would deliberately make things difficult for the two newcomers.
To their surprise, four or five of the men he had sent out ran back with slightly swollen faces.
“Zhang Hanyang and Yefeng didn’t listen to us at all. They started a fight and hit us!”
“They also said that if you want to see them, you should go there in person. They don’t have time to answer to you, a small potato.” Just two sentences.
The people who did not get along with Xuan Chen laughed and said, “These newcomers are interesting.”
“Hahaha.”
Xuan Chen also laughed. He looked at his subordinates and his tone was a little cold.
“You all are truly useless tras.h.!.+
“Fine. Since they don’t want to come, I’ll go and see them.”
As he spoke, Xuan Chen’s figure flashed, and he took the lead to move forward.
Hua Churan’s face slightly changed.
“It will not be okay if Xuan Chen gets angry.”
“Humph!”
Some of the geniuses present snorted coldly. “How dare the newcomers be so arrogant? I guess they don’t know the rules of our Crimson Sunglow Sect well enough!”
The one who spoke followed the team with a cold face.
“Fortunately, the elder is not here. Otherwise, they would be punished severely.”
There were still some people who were close to Xuan Chen, and they all followed him.
Because Xuan Chen had great fame, quite a few people who had conflicts with him also followed him.
“Anyway, it’s useless to wait here. I might as well go over and watch the fun.”
There were hundreds of people who’d left the front of the Crimson Sunglow Sect’s station.
