Chapter 91: You may enter now

How distinguished was the Third Princess of the Grand Zhou Imperial Dynasty?

Qin Xueyi thought that among the people present, there were few who could match the status of the Third Princess. Perhaps only the Crown Prince could compare.

After all, these two were competitors.

Although Li Xun's status was not low, it was still not as high as the Third Princess's. Just now, the Third Princess actually took the initiative to greet him, which was quite unimaginable.

Qin Xueyi looked at the back of the Third Princess in front of her, then turned her head to look at Li Xun, who was descending from the sky. There was an inexplicable doubt in her eyes.

Her intuition told her that there was something fishy between the two.

But what exactly it was, she couldn't guess.

Now, she was still just a lone cultivator, not the powerful expert who almost became the Immortal King in her previous life. She didn't have any forces under her command, so naturally, she didn't have any sources of information.

During this time, she had been staying in the Third Princess's mansion.

The Third Princess was not obligated to provide her with information about everything that happened in Zhentian City.

"I thought I had made great progress, but I didn't expect his progress to seem even more exaggerated than mine."

Qin Xueyi's beautiful eyes flickered as she carefully observed Li Xun. With her vision, she could only tell that Li Xun had broken through to the Profound Core Realm, but she couldn't determine his specific realm within the Profound Core Realm.

She was a bit puzzled.

Her gaze shifted past Li Xun and casually swept over the disciples of the Xuanyang Sect behind him.

However, when she saw a young man, her eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

"Has history changed again?"

Behind Li Xun, Ye Han followed cautiously, like a little follower, trailing behind Li Xun. At first glance, he didn't seem to have any special qualities.

But Qin Xueyi knew that Ye Han's future achievements were not low, at least not weaker than hers.

In her previous life, when she broke through to the Immortal King realm, Ye Han's cultivation at that time was similar to hers, and he also possessed the appearance of an Immortal King. Whether Ye Han had successfully broken through in the end, Qin Xueyi was not sure because she hadn't experienced the Immortal King Heavenly Tribulation and had been reborn directly.

In this life, when she saw Ye Han's figure, Qin Xueyi was stunned for a long time.

If she remembered correctly, at this time, Ye Han should have already betrayed the Xuanyang Sect and become a lone cultivator, not participating in the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm at all.

The first time Ye Han showed his talent should have been another event several months later.

At that time, Ye Han had already reached the peak of the Spirit Connection Realm. With just one move, he defeated three Profound Core Realm experts who had joined forces.

After that battle, Ye Han's reputation spread for tens of thousands of miles, and it also made the Xuanyang Sect deeply regretful.

But now—

Ye Han hadn't left the Xuanyang Sect at all. Instead, he followed behind Li Xun, showing a respectful demeanor.

This left Qin Xueyi puzzled for a long time.

What exactly happened?

Why did the timeline from her previous life become so chaotic in this life?

"Hmm?"

As Li Xun moved forward and arrived at the deepest part of the valley, standing side by side with disciples from other sects, he suddenly felt something and looked to the side.

At the end of his gaze was a figure shrouded in brilliance behind the Third Princess.

This person was very mysterious, completely enveloped in divine light, making it impossible to see his appearance. Moreover, the divine light surrounding him blocked the probing of spiritual sense, making it impossible to discern his details.

This made people unable to see through him.

‘Was this person just probing me?’

Li Xun frowned.

The intuition of cultivators was strong, and after Li Xun mastered the Great Yan Divine Technique, his spiritual sense had increased several times, reaching an extremely powerful level.

He easily sensed that someone seemed to be probing him, but when he turned his head, he only saw a figure enveloped in divine light.

This person was extremely mysterious, and the divine light around his body should be a treasure, possibly a spiritual treasure.

Li Xun couldn't figure out why this person would pay attention to him.

Could it be that this person considered him an enemy?

But this was also normal. After entering the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm, except for fellow sect brothers, almost everyone else was an enemy. Moreover, Li Xun had been quite prominent in the past few days, so it was normal for someone to regard him as an enemy.

After taking a deep look at the mysterious figure, Li Xun withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.

‘Has he discovered me?’

Qin Xueyi's heart skipped a beat, feeling like a startled rabbit. Li Xun's gaze was too profound, making her believe that she had been seen through.

Luckily, she had a low-grade spiritual treasure in her hand, blocking Li Xun's spiritual sense. Otherwise, she doubted she could continue hiding.

‘Although his strength has improved greatly, there's something I must remind him. The Third Princess cannot become the Grand Zhou Divine Emperor. By siding with the Third Princess now, he might face retaliation from the Crown Prince in the future.’

Qin Xueyi made up her mind secretly. After entering the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm, she would find an opportunity to speak with Li Xun alone.

In her view, the Third Princess's greeting to Li Xun just now was enough to indicate that Li Xun had sided with her. This wasn't a good choice...

Boom!

At this moment, a jade chariot appeared in the sky, with a majestic figure sitting inside. He raised his hand slowly and pressed down, causing countless rays of light to burst out.

Like a river in the sky, pouring down from the clouds, it struck the cliff in the valley.

This attack was extremely powerful, theoretically capable of flattening an area of hundreds of miles. However, when it landed on the cliff, instead of causing the heavens and earth to collapse, it only caused a crack to appear on the cliff. Within the crack was darkness, as if a spatial barrier had been torn open. Gale-like winds whistled from within, seemingly capable of tearing people to pieces.

"The Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm has been opened. You may enter," a faint voice emanated from the jade chariot.

Many people recognized the figure in the chariot—it was the Northern Guardian of the Grand Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

Upon hearing the words of the Northern Guardian, some people immediately rushed into the crack with their disciples.

With the first person taking the lead, others were unwilling to fall behind. Soon, more than half of the figures in the valley disappeared into the crack.

"You may also enter now. Don't forget our agreement," the Crown Prince said, his hands behind his back, standing on a large rock. He glanced at the three figures behind him and reiterated, "Don't use too much of your cultivation. Otherwise, even if you come out, you won't be able to leave the territory of the Grand Zhou!"

His words were cryptic, implying a warning to the three individuals not to recklessly attack disciples from other sects just because of their higher cultivation.

"Don't worry," replied the figure in the green robe behind the Crown Prince. He then led the two people behind him into the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm.

"Hmm?" Seeing the people behind the Crown Prince, Li Xun's pupils slightly contracted.

Although the Grand Zhou royal family had stated that there were only three hundred spots, in reality, there were far more than that. Both the Crown Prince and the Third Princess seemed to have arranged for their own people to enter.

"As expected, rules mean nothing in the face of strength," Li Xun thought to himself.

He turned back and looked at his disciples, then spoke gently, "Let's go in as well."

As the last person entered the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm, the entrance closed behind them.

The cracks on the mountain wall suddenly disappeared. The elders of various sects were not surprised to see this situation, as the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm would remain open for a month each time it was activated.

A month later, the Crown Prince from the Grand Zhou Imperial Dynasty would once again take action to open a spatial passage and guide numerous disciples out.
