Great Shu Dynasty, Taoist Temple:
Feng Heng was sitting cross-legged on a black and white futon. In his hand was an invitation letter from Ji Su. Suddenly, the swastika tattoo on his body lit up, then a short hair middle-aged man appeared: it was his teacher.
"What are you going to do?" asked Shi Fuyu.
"Honestly speaking, I have no desire or interest in this so-called Secret Realm," responded Feng Heng while pondering. "However, I fear that on the unlikely scenario that something extraordinary was in fact inside, the other Contemporary Dao Childs will acquire it through the people they have infiltrated in this world."
Recently, Feng Heng has managed to track down a few of the spies that his competitors in the sect infiltrated in this world, however, he still did not manage to catch any of them. So, he placed a lot of his focus on tracking them.
"On top of that, soon, I will have to worry about the Great Zhou Dynasty’s attack. After they conquer the Great Wu, there is a very good chance that they will attack us next."
Shi Fuyu nodded and he could guess this result based on his disciple’s temperament, and the plans he had previously made. So, he said, "In that case, I will go check out the Secret Realm myself."
Feng Heng was a little shocked, then he immediately asked, "Master, will you be alright?"
"Disciple, you do not need to worry about me. My Primordial Spirit has not only stabilized, but I have also recovered some of my strength. Although I cannot personally take action because of all the True Monarchs observing this trial, I can still sneak into the Secret Realm without anyone noticing."
Feng Heng then nodded after hearing this, then he agreed to Ji Su’s invitation.
Great Xia Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
Wang Wei was reading a letter that contained all the signatures of all the remaining power of this trial. The letter asked him to allow these factions to send elite troops to enter the Secret Realm and compete fairly in the Secret Realm without interference.
Of course Wang Wei knew that this was essentially a threat, but he did not care about this. He smiled to himself, then muttered, "It should be about time."
A month later, a visitor came to see Wang Wei in the palace throne room: it was Patriarch Zheng Yong.
Unlike the previous time he saw him, Wang Wei noticed that he was more haggard and listless, like his mind has been restless or on edge for a long period of time. More importantly, he seemed to be injured.
"Minister Zheng Yong has seen his majesty."
"You may rise. Patriarch Zheng, what brought you to see me today?"
Immediately after hearing this, Zheng Yong knelt on the ground, placed his forehead on the floor and said, "I beg his majesty to save the Zheng Clan."
"Oh, did something happen to your clan? Right under this Monarch’s nose?"
As a matter of fact, Wang Wei knew exactly what happened to the Zheng Clan and the reason that their patriarch had come to see him.
With the news that a Secret Realm was discovered by the Zheng Clan, many people have investigated and discovered the entrance of the Secret Room. Unfortunately, the token to enter the Secret Realm was still in the hands of Zheng Yong.
As such, the people interested in the Secret Realm started to observe every move and action of the Zheng Clan. At first these people were patient and cautious due to fear of Wang We intervening.
However, when they realized that no one said or investigated their actions, they became extremely bold. They tried every means to either infiltrate the Zheng Clan Manor or get any information about the token from the different family members.
However, recently, the actions of these people started to escalate. They kidnapped important family member of the Zheng Clan to torture information out of them or asking to exchange the Secret Realm Token with these captured people’s lives.
And last night, someone directly attacked the Zheng Clan Manor, resulting in Patriarch Zheng Yong’s injury.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yong secretly clenched his hand when he heard the question. Of course he knew that his majesty was aware of all the chaos that is happening in the capital. If he did not purposely allow it, how could these foreigners act so blatantly and arrogant?
"Hehe," said Wang Wei with an interesting smile on his face. "Even when the situation has aggravated to this level, you still want to quibble and play word choice with me." free𝑤ebnovel.com
