176: Were you also in the secret realm at that time?

Hearing Nangong Yu's words, everyone was somewhat surprised and uncertain, with inexplicable expressions.

The others who entered the Secret Realm all came out with dull eyes, clearly not having escaped the illusion.

But looking at Nangong Yu, he might be the only exception?

Now hearing his words again, everyone couldn't help but speculate: could it be that Nangong Yu was not affected by the illusion?

Or rather, he passed the Seven Emotions Trial and saw the true Secret Realm?

Otherwise, how could he explain putting Qing Ling and the other five into the inner space of his treasure?

At this moment, Venerable Zhang suddenly noticed something was amiss and exclaimed in surprise, "Prince, your cultivation?"

Reminded by him, the other three also noticed the cultivation Aura Nangong Yu deliberately revealed, and their faces instantly filled with surprise.

Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm?!

Didn't they say Nangong Yu was only at the Divine Combination Realm Peak? How did he become a Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm?

"Little Yu, what is this?"

Nangong Ruoxue's beautiful face also showed a hint of surprise and doubt at this moment.

Nangong Yu smiled, a lie readily escaping his lips, "No need to be surprised, I merely gained some Opportunity in the Secret Realm, and my cultivation merely received a slight boost!"

Hearing this, the few people nodded slightly. Although their eyes were still filled with surprise and uncertainty, they didn't ask further.

Nangong Yu leaned close to Nangong Ruoxue's ear and whispered with a smile, "Sister Xue, there was something I kept from you before. I'll tell you about it simply later!"

Nangong Ruoxue blinked, nodding slightly, but didn't overthink it.

At this moment, people from the Qingyou Imperial Family began to fly over in groups.

Seeing Nangong Ruoxue and the other person, these people were somewhat surprised, "Venerable Zhang, these two are..."

Before Venerable Zhang could answer, someone spoke, "I remember that one seems to be the Grand Princess. If I'm not mistaken, the one next to her should be the Prince of Zhenbei, right?!"

As soon as these words came out, and seeing Venerable Zhang nod slightly, everyone was surprised.

Both of their cultivations are so strong! Who knows what Opportunity they obtained to grow so quickly!

"We pay our respects to the Grand Princess, and to the Prince of Zhenbei!"

Everyone bowed, some slightly bending, some cupping their hands, some nodding slightly.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up, looked at Nangong Ruoxue and the other person, and smiled, "I didn't expect you two Little Fellows to have grown to such an extent. You truly bring honor to our Qingyou Imperial Family!"

Nangong Ruoxue bowed slightly, "Greetings, Fourth Imperial Grandfather!"

Nangong Yu also followed with a bow. If it weren't for a direct relative, Nangong Ruoxue wouldn't be so respectful.

There was only one possibility: the person before them was his father Nangong Aochen's biological fourth uncle, one of the few Princes of the Qingyou Imperial Family, Prince Qin!

"No need for formalities!"

Prince Qin nodded slightly, "If I remember correctly, you two should have been out training for a few years, right? Are you going back together this time?"

Nangong Ruoxue glanced at Nangong Yu, who smiled and said, "Fourth Imperial Grandfather, we are indeed going back. Now that Sister Xue and I are both in the Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm, after preparing for a while, it's time to go to the Holy Domain to find my mother and the others."

Hearing this, Prince Qin nodded slightly, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Follow your hearts. After all, water flows to higher places. It's understandable that you wish to go to the Holy Domain to advance further, as long as you remember that Clear Serenity is your home."

Nangong Yu and the other person nodded, "Fourth Imperial Grandfather is right, we will definitely remember!"

"Mm!"

Prince Qin nodded slightly, then looked around and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Hearing this, a young man stepped forward and said, "Fourth Imperial Uncle, almost everyone is here, but the four from the Prince of Zhenbeis Residence who followed us haven't arrived yet!"

Hearing this, Prince Qin's brows furrowed slightly, "Those four? Did we see them inside?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, all frowning slightly, clearly with a hint of doubt.

At this moment, Nangong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Fourth Imperial Grandfather, I know where those four are. Don't worry about them, let's leave first!"

Hearing this, Prince Qin was slightly stunned. He glanced at Nangong Yu, then said, "Since Little Yu has said so, then let's leave first!"

Seeing Prince Qin nod, someone immediately went to pilot the flying boat, heading towards the Qingyou Empire.

The flying boat slowly started, and people from other forces also gathered one after another, beginning to withdraw from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is, after all, the territory of the Yao Race. Unless necessary or for training, the Human Race generally does not stay long.

"Alright, anything important, let's discuss it inside the flying boat. Little Yu, Little Xue, let's go inside to talk!"

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded and entered the flying boat.

Nangong Yu glanced at the group of Spirit Foxes rapidly departing in the distance, then followed everyone into the flying boat.

Inside the flying boat.

Prince Qin, Qin Wuhui, and Nangong Yu sat together, silent for a moment.

After a moment, Prince Qin was the first to speak, "Little Yu, you just said you knew where the four people from your Prince of Zhenbeis Residence were. What's going on?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Nangong Yu. Nangong Ruoxue and the others had heard Nangong Yu mention this, but Prince Qin and the others had not!

At this moment, everyone was curious. Those four had entered the Seven Emotions Secret Realm, but they hadn't seen them in the Secret Realm. How did Nangong Yu know where they were?

Nangong Yu merely smiled slightly, "Fourth Imperial Grandfather, they are actually in the inner space of one of my treasures. That's why you haven't seen them since you woke up in the Secret Realm until now!"

"You were also in the Secret Realm at that time?"

Prince Qin's eyes widened, then he asked in surprise, "That's not right. Your cultivation doesn't seem to be high enough to enter the Seven Emotions Secret Realm, does it?"

Hearing this question, Nangong Ruoxue glanced at Nangong Yu, then smiled and said, "Fourth Imperial Grandfather, when Little Yu entered, his cultivation was at the Divine Combination Realm Peak. He said he obtained some Opportunity, which is why he advanced to his current Realm."

Hearing this, Prince Qin's eyes widened again, filled with surprise. What kind of Opportunity could allow one to cross the Calamity Destruction Realm and directly Breakthrough to the Mid-stage Spirit Venerable Realm?

Nangong Yu merely smiled slightly, "Indeed, after I entered the Seven Emotions Secret Realm, I quickly passed the Seven Emotions Trial of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire, and fortunately obtained a treasure."

"This treasure can continue their unfinished Seven Emotions Trial, so I took them into it."

"As for you, Fourth Imperial Grandfather, I used that treasure to help you escape the illusion trial and search for Spirit Medicine and spiritual materials in the Secret Realm!"

"After all, most of the Opportunities and treasures obtained by those who pass the trial are Spirit Medicine and spiritual materials from the Secret Realm. You know this, so it's better to let you collect them yourselves, and you can collect more."

Hearing this, Prince Qin and the others all narrowed their eyes slightly, their expressions also somewhat surprised and uncertain.
