40: The news of the secret realm spread, and all parties were shocked
Outside the Supreme Secret Realm, under an ancient tree.
Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli stood facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive and stagnant.
With others present, Su Xuan could be more uninhibited.
But now, he found himself at a loss for words, unsure what to say.
He felt a degree of guilt towards Leng Ruoli.
To awaken the System, he had done that to her that day...
"What do you want to say?"
Leng Ruoli spoke indifferently.
Although Su Xuan had helped her in the Secret Realm,
she was no ordinary worldly woman; she was the Reincarnation of a Supreme Empress. How could she be so easily moved?
Of course, this was also related to Leng Ruoli's past life experiences.
In her previous life, Leng Ruoli had endured countless setbacks and hardships before forging her own invincible path.
During those arduous years, Leng Ruoli had already seen through everything.
Therefore, her heart was like ten-thousand-year-old ice, difficult to melt.
"I wanted to ask, how have you been... recently?"
Su Xuan truly didn't know what to say, and an awkward question blurted out.
"Quite well."
After dropping that one sentence, Leng Ruoli transformed into a red light and drifted away.
She did not wish to be overly entangled with Su Xuan.
"Forget it, let nature take its course."
Su Xuan watched Leng Ruoli's retreating figure, letting out a long sigh.
"Great Evolution Holy Son."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Su Xuan's ear.
Su Xuan paused slightly and looked back.
He saw a graceful woman, radiating brilliant light, standing there.
This person was none other than Yaoguang Holy Maiden.
"Something the matter?" Su Xuan spoke indifferently, his voice flat.
"Great Evolution Holy Son, that woman's attitude towards you probably means she doesn't like you. Why force it?"
"If you choose me, you'll definitely have a different experience."
Shining Light Holy Daughter's figure was graceful, with undulating curves.
Her dark hair cascaded to her waist, and her jade-like body was lustrous, emitting a divine radiance.
She spoke, saying this to Su Xuan.
After seeing Su Xuan's future, Shining Light Holy Daughter realized...
This was an opportunity.
If she could always stay by Su Xuan's side, her future achievements would certainly not be low.
In an era of great contention, geniuses rose, and stars shone brightly, dazzlingly so.
But at the same time, it was also cruel enough.
In the end, many Pride of the Heavens merely ran a race in vain, gaining nothing, forgotten by time, and reduced to historical dust.
And Yaoguang Holy Maiden, she was very intelligent and saw this point.
At the same time, she also knew that in such a grand era, her talent was not enough to support her to the very end.
Therefore, she chose to find herself a backer.
Boom!
Su Xuan raised his hand, and a wave of pressure instantly descended!
Shining Light Holy Daughter's face immediately contorted, showing immense discomfort.
"Great Evolution Holy Son, you!"
"You can't even compare to a single finger of Leng Ruoli's. If you speak such words again, I will kill you!"
Su Xuan spoke coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, he transformed into a dazzling stream of light, disappearing into the horizon.
"Pfft!"
Shining Light Holy Daughter spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale and incredibly grim.
"I refuse to believe that I, the dignified Shining Light Holy Daughter, am inferior to that woman?"
"I must find out which force's Descendant she is!"
After being ruthlessly rejected by Su Xuan, a malicious thought arose in Shining Light Holy Daughter's heart.
...
"Have you heard? With the opening of the Supreme Secret Realm this time, many of our Eastern Wilderness's top Pride of the Heavens have perished."
"Yes, it's truly regrettable. The first on the Eastern Wilderness Pride of the Heavens list, the Holy Sons of the two great divine Sects, and the Young Emperor of the Chen Family, all perished. I truly don't know what happened inside."
"Alas, who knows? The waters there are very deep...
Although all the Pride of the Heavens who returned said that it was because the Supreme Demonic Corpse in the Secret Realm underwent an anomaly, and Lin Di and others died at the hands of the Supreme Demonic Corpse...
But the truth, perhaps only they themselves know..."
After the Supreme Secret Realm, the entire Eastern Wilderness was in an uproar.
Everyone knew that with this opening of the Secret Realm, the three strongest among their generation had all perished within it.
Such news was lamentable, and countless people regretted it.
If they hadn't perished, they could have even contended in the great era.
But now, everything... was gone.
Tai Xuan Gate.
"What? Lin Di... perished???"
"Lin Di, a natural Saint, born with knowledge, his path to becoming an Emperor was smooth. How could he perish?!"
"Died at the hands of the Supreme Demonic Corpse, how is that possible?!"
"Ahhh! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
Upon receiving the news of Lin Di's demise in the Supreme Secret Realm, the Sect master of Tai Xuan Gate was instantly stunned, then began to shout and wail like a madman.
In the Eastern Wilderness, Tai Xuan Gate could not be considered a major force; it could not compare to imperial clans, Holy Lands, or divine Sects.
And Lin Di was the hope of the entire Tai Xuan Gate; the Sect relied on Lin Di's strength to rise.
But now, Lin Di's demise undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to everyone, completely extinguishing Tai Xuan Gate's hope of rising.
This was simply a devastating blow for Tai Xuan Gate.
But without any evidence, Tai Xuan Gate could do nothing...
Heaven Mending Sect.
"What?! Dao Yi... dead?!"
"How is that possible? Dao Yi is an Innate Dao Body, and his wisdom is almost demonic; he always plays his enemies in the palm of his hand. How could he perish?!"
"Dao Yi is the most outstanding Pride of the Heavens in our Heaven Mending Sect in the past ten generations. He actually... died?"
"Who! Who killed Dao Yi?!! I will kill him!!!"
In a pavilion, a white-robed man with an extraordinary aura stared wide-eyed, finding the news that had been reported to him somewhat unbelievable.
The man was none other than the Heaven Mending Sect Master, Tian Yi!
Dao Yi was his most favored Disciple, whom he had cultivated as his Descendant since childhood.
Therefore, he was able to reach such a height.
And now, Dao Yi was actually dead!
How could Tian Yi accept this?
But all the living Pride of the Heavens unanimously stated that Dao Yi was killed by the Supreme Demonic Corpse.
Naturally, Tian Yi could not believe this.
However, who was the one who killed Dao Yi?
"I can only make a trip to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion..."
Heaven Intercepting Sect.
The Chief of Heaven Intercepting Sect, Cang He, heard the news, and like the Heaven Mending Sect Master, his face instantly turned grim.
"Although that kid Ni Cang is arrogant, he's not reckless. How could he perish so easily?!"
"Killed by the Supreme Demonic Corpse, how is that possible? Why didn't the others die? They can't even compare to a single finger of Ni Cang's!"
"Don't let me find out who killed Ni Cang, otherwise, I will exterminate their entire clan!!!"
The Chief of Heaven Intercepting Sect muttered in a low voice, his face so grim it looked like water could drip from it.
...
Eastern Wilderness Imperial Clan, Chen Family.
"Our clan's Young Emperor perished? Slapped to death by the Nine-Headed Lion?!"
"Damn it! Nine-Headed Lion, our Chen Family and your clan are irreconcilable enemies!!"
The Chen Family Patriarch, Chen Chang'an, roared, his eyes wide.
