Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 357 - 353: Opening of the Infinite Secret Realm

Chapter 357: Chapter 353: Opening of the Infinite Secret Realm

However, the position in the team that Tang Yunqi had struggled to secure wouldn’t be easily taken away by someone else.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the fierce aura around him spread out, releasing the pressure of an Earth Tier Eighth Layer Martial God from his body.

Those around who initially harbored some intentions instantly restrained themselves, becoming so quiet and obedient as if they didn’t exist at all.

It’s known that even the core disciples of the Four Great Clans are only at the sixth or seventh layer, and it’s their guards who have reached Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial God.

So where would these loose cultivators get the courage to challenge such an existence?

If they could really defeat him, they would have already snatched a token from someone else.

As people’s hearts were stirred, three ethereal bell chimes seemed to sound from the void above.

Tang Yunqi’s simple-faced muscular visage showed a hint of shrewdness: "The gate is about to open."

Xia Feng instinctively prepared to rush in as soon as the gate opened.

He even had the Spirit Light Flying Boat ready in his palm, waiting to launch it as soon as the moment arrived.

As a result, Tang Yunqi shot him a slightly puzzled glance before seemingly realizing something and held his shoulder to communicate telepathically.

"Brother, don’t rush. At the start, they won’t let us in."

Xia Feng’s expression showed a touch of confusion as the ones maintaining order from the Four Great Clans had already risen into the air.

Their voices spread across the entire valley: "Everyone, silence!"

"The Infinite Secret Realm is about to open. Since there are newcomers, I will reiterate the rules."

"Once the secret realm opens, members of the Four Great Clans enter first, followed by their subsidiary families three hours later, and loose cultivators six hours after that."

The crowd below erupted, especially the loose cultivators, who were buzzing with displeasure.

Many of them hadn’t bought the information and didn’t know the secret realm would be open for thirty days, thinking entering early would certainly yield good treasures.

Yet, to publicly oppose the rules set by the Four Great Clans, they lacked the courage to do so.

Xia Feng couldn’t help but squint slightly; he could bear waiting for three hours to avoid exposing himself.

But six hours, half a day gone, he truly felt he couldn’t endure.

Just as he was about to make a move, Tang Yunqi beside him pulled out a token from his robe.

"Hehe, brother, don’t worry, I knew about this long ago."

"The tokens from the Four Great Clans are hard to come by, but those from the subsidiary families are relatively easy to get."

Xia Feng frowned slightly. He quite admired this person and hoped he wouldn’t risk exposing his identity.

Tang Yunqi turned the token over, showing Xia Feng the character "Liu" engraved on it.

He whispered telepathically: "Brother, rest assured, it’s a token from an enemy family of ours, unrelated to me."

His meaning was, even if exposed, he wouldn’t be afraid.

The surrounding loose cultivators, in the end, didn’t dare to rush forward and express their dissatisfaction.

After all, the Celestial Tier Martial Gods at the entrance were not to be trifled with.

Once everyone quieted down, a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God from each of the Four Great Clans placed their hand on the treasure pearl at the entrance.

The four exerted their power simultaneously, and thunderous sounds boomed from the sky, with a circular vortex-shaped spatial gate appearing abruptly before the treasure pearl.

The hands of the four Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Gods remained pressed on the treasure pearl without withdrawing.

Considerable energy was drawn away when opening the gate, but once the passage stabilized, they only needed to use some Divine Power to maintain the passage.

Witnessing this wondrous scene, a murmur of agitation arose among the loose cultivators below.

The Divine Guard Squad of the Four Great Clans maintaining order at the entrance shouted sternly: "Silence!"

The noise below ceased, and then one Divine Guard Squad member spoke in a deep voice: "Members of the Four Great Clans, prepare!"

"Reveal your identities, and enter the secret realm in order!"

This entry order was based on a sequence with the Dongfang Family entering one group, the Ximen Family next, followed by the Nangong Family, and then the Beiming Family.

Among them, the Dongfang Family was the strongest, while the Beiming Family was the weakest, a routine order for many things by now.

As soon as the Divine Guard Squad member finished speaking, a three-meter-tall beam of light rose from the bodies of the core disciples at the front of the Four Great Clans.

The colors for each family varied, but these light beams were a form of identification for them.

However, at that moment, no one focused on the situation of the Four Great Clans; instead, all eyes fell on the loose cultivators.

Within the loose cultivators, Xia Feng’s left hand suddenly emitted a three-meter-tall beam of light, its color unmistakably the Dongfang family’s golden hue.

Xia Feng internally cursed; this was the token with the engraved golden characters of Dongfang he had previously taken from Dongfang Zhong.

Initially, he kept the token because it could reveal the location of Infinite Valley, much like a travel permit before.

Xia Feng had never expected the purple token, seemingly for identification, to be a key, while the golden token, akin to a travel permit, was actually for identification!

Those around were somewhat astonished, seemingly unable to comprehend why someone from the Dongfang Family, with a Dongfang Family token, was mingling among them, the loose cultivators.

Even their looks towards Xia Feng carried hints of suspicion and recollection.

They were contemplating if they’d unknowingly offended this person in recent times.

The faces of the ill-tempered sisters from earlier turned pale, fearing Xia Feng might hold a grudge for their previous actions.

However, others’ expressions changed, growing agitated with anger.

Dongfang Zhang, maintaining order, and Dongfang Baiyu, among the core disciples of the Four Great Clans, naturally recognized what that token represented.

Dongfang Zhang stepped forward, shouting: "Kid, we finally caught you!"

Having said that, he channeled a mass of Earth Divine Power from his palm, seemingly intending to pin Xia Feng down there.

As a Centurion of the Eastern Divine Guard, a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God maintaining order, his proficiency in using Earth Divine Power far surpassed those small fry of the Dongfang Family before.

Xia Feng felt a heavy weight on his body, and the surrounding divine power grew dense.

Behind him, Xia Tianming fared worse, his complexion ashen as if he would vomit blood in the next moment.

Tang Yunqi’s face looked slightly better, though he couldn’t tell if it was because he went unnoticed due to his disguise or if his Earth Tier strength allowed him to endure more.

Nonetheless, he internally wailed, cursing his bad luck for getting involved with such a troublesome figure.

Though he truly desired to enter the Infinite Secret Realm to seek his chance, he hadn’t intended to get mixed up in these matters.
