19: Sixth-tier expert

Regarding the secret realm, everyone discussed it but came to no conclusion.

Finally, Liu Qingyun stepped forward and dispatched an advance team to explore the secret realm first to determine its grade.

After that, they would discuss the operation of the secret realm with the various great families.

For the sake of fairness, each great family would send two people to the advance team to carry out the initial exploration mission.

Xu Tian, on the other hand, found Su Feng, patted his shoulder, and said, "Kid, thank you for what happened yesterday. Our Xu Family's business orders have increased by 30%."

"The Xu Family has two slots for this secret realm exploration, and one of them is yours..."

Su Feng raised an eyebrow: "Uncle, you've misunderstood. Actually, it was all Mu Yan herself..."

Before Su Feng could finish speaking, Xu Tian interrupted him directly: "Kid, I know my own daughter's situation. Don't forget, I'm her biological father."

"How long have you two known each other?"

"I watched her grow up. Although she's excellent, she's completely unqualified to communicate with the Ice Crystal Goddess..."

Su Feng no longer concealed it, merely chuckling dryly: "As expected of a biological father!"

"As for you two, I won't interfere. I only have this one precious daughter, and her choice is my choice."

"All in all, as the beneficiary of this incident, I, Xu Tian, still want to express my gratitude to you. If you need anything, feel free to come to the Xu Family to find me."

"No problem, thank you, Uncle Xu."

Su Feng hadn't expected Xu Tian to be so understanding. It seemed his behavior yesterday was just an act for outsiders.

However, he had unexpectedly gotten a slot.

This wave was definitely not a loss.

The first group to enter the secret realm would definitely earn the most, and there might be some unique items.

While waiting in line to enter the secret realm, Xu Muyan leaned close to Su Feng and asked, "Did my dad say anything to you?"

"No, you don't know, your dad and I had a great chat, and he insisted on becoming sworn brothers with me..."

"I thought, if that happens, wouldn't you have to call me 'uncle' when you see me?"

"So, I said I'd go back and think about it first..."

Xu Muyan glared at Su Feng. Whether it was true or not, she would absolutely not let such a thing happen.

Everyone entered the constantly spinning secret realm together. Xu Muyan grabbed Su Feng's arm, then fell into a dizzying spin.

When the two regained consciousness, they were standing at the top of a hill.

As far as the eye could see were lush trees and flowers, with occasional roars of beasts.

"Ding! Successfully entered the Secret Realm: Nethermoon Demonic Forest!"

Hearing the notification, Su Feng frowned slightly. It seemed this place was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface!

"Let's go, we'll go in and investigate!"

...Outside the secret realm.

Liu Qingyun received a call that a Sixth Turn Expert was visiting.

He was somewhat astonished. Why was this small Tianhai City so lively recently?!

This shouldn't be!

However, with a Sixth Turn Expert visiting, as the mayor of Tianhai City, it was necessary for him to receive them.

Perhaps it was a rare opportunity for him as well.

Tianhai City.

Liu Qingyun, along with several deputy mayors, respectfully watched the lean, middle-aged man with black and white hair in front of them. The visitor's entire body was almost completely obscured by a magic cloak, upon which some obscure and difficult-to-understand inscriptions were engraved.

Needless to say, this piece of equipment was invaluable.

"I have come to investigate the matter of the Forbidden Spell. I hope you can tell me any clues."

Shi Tianxiong's voice was extremely calm, but in the ears of Liu Qingyun and the others, it carried an unchallengeable authority.

Subsequently, Liu Qingyun explained the circumstances of the Forbidden Spell's appearance, mainly introducing Xu Muyan's situation.

If Xu Muyan truly communicated with the Ice Crystal Goddess, then Tianhai City would naturally receive care from Dragon Country.

Shi Tianxiong narrowed his eyes. Whether this was truly the case still needed careful investigation.

After clarifying the location where the Forbidden Spell appeared, Shi Tianxiong's figure instantly vanished.

This method astonished Liu Qingyun and the others.

As expected of a Sixth Turn expert!

His oppressive aura was indeed not to be underestimated!

...Demon Cloud Mountain Range.

"Such pure fire attribute elements. Even a Seventh-Turn Expert might not be able to wield them so skillfully."

"Moreover, to condense elements into a physical form without any leakage, such a method is probably close to that of an Eighth-Turn Expert!"

Shi Tianxiong frowned deeply. If it really involved an Eighth-Turn Expert, then his presence here wouldn't be significant enough... Immediately, he used a magic spell to inform the President, giving a simple explanation of the situation here and attaching his own conjecture.

"So powerful, this might actually extend for thousands of meters, and further ahead would be the territory of Tianlin City."

Shi Tianxiong tracked it all the way. The mountain bodies damaged by the Forbidden Spell all showed neat gaps.

"Such a method is simply a heaven-shaking ability!"

"Logically, there shouldn't be any experts above Seventh Turn here!"

"Tianhai City is remote, economically depressed, and its enrollment rate has been at the bottom for years. How could a big shot come here?"

...Shi Tianxiong recorded all the situations on the road using magic runes and then transmitted them to the President.

Youyue Valley.

"This is where the demon appeared."

Shi Tianxiong looked at the destroyed Youyue Valley in the distance, feeling somewhat astonished.

"This ability to move mountains and fill seas, it's probably another Forbidden Spell!"

"But according to Liu Qingyun and the others, a little girl communicated with the Ice Crystal Goddess, which caused this phenomenon."

"If that's truly the case, then this little girl's future achievements will be limitless!"

A piece of dark, charred remnant appeared in Shi Tianxiong's hand. This was given to him by the President before he left, to help him track the demon's whereabouts.

"Go!"

Shi Tianxiong silently chanted a spell, and then the dark remnant flew towards a certain spot.

"Why is someone flying in the sky?"

Someone's unintentional remark immediately drew the bored crowd's attention to the sky.

"Holy crap! To fly in the air, you'd need at least the strength of a Fifth-Turn big shot, right? When did our Tianhai City get such an expert?"

"Tsk... who told you he's a big shot? A single Flying Talisman costs a million dragon coins. As long as you have money, aren't you afraid you won't get a chance to show off?"

"Uh... you're right, but that person's elegant demeanor doesn't seem achievable with a Flying Talisman!"

..."Here?"

"From the looks of it, it was killed in one hit, without even leaving any traces around."

"Once demonic energy dissipates, it lingers for a long time, but here it's empty, with only a faint, flickering demonic aura."

"Very strong!"

"Could it be the newly appeared Eighth-Turn big shot from Dragon Country?"

"No wonder it could kill the demon in one hit, without a sound. Even the President couldn't do that, could he?"

Shi Tianxiong was lost in thought.

He originally thought he was an invincible existence coming to this place, but now it seemed he was just a nobody!
