Chapter 1263: Chapter 230: An Unexpected Encounter in the Holy Realm

At this moment, within an ancient city in the holy realm, a trading place for cultivators of generations past.

Gu Chen came here, and upon hearing the words "Blood Orchid Clan," he immediately recalled his early experiences in the Upper Realm when he first arrived, during his time in the Gray Domain.

Back then, after emerging from the secret realm of the Gray Domain, he was relentlessly pursued by the forces of the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan. Eventually, the Blood Orchid Clan, led by Blood Jade, drew the enemies away, giving Gu Chen the opportunity to step into the teleportation formation.

That was the closest the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty ever came to capturing him. The teleportation formation had been secretly modified, and had it not been for Yuding, Gu Chen truly would have met his end.

But because of this, he accidentally arrived in the East Profound Region and met Princess Xidie of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty’s spirit realm, sparking a series of subsequent events.

Unexpectedly, today in this place, within the vast holy realm, he encountered the Blood Orchid Clan once again. It could only be said that fate was indeed ineffable.

"Although the Blood Orchid Clan is one of the four major exotic tribes of the Gray Domain, their strength is actually not that outstanding when compared to the Upper Realm. If anyone from their clan was most likely to come to the holy realm, it could only be her." An image surfaced in Gu Chen’s mind.

Swiftly, his gaze shifted, looking towards a crowd where a dispute had arisen in the distance.

Sure enough, standing there was a woman with a slender figure and a valiant air, possessing a mane of blood-colored hair, beautiful features, and an appearance that was somewhat enchanting.

It was the young master of the Blood Orchid Clan—Blood Jade!

"Ten Thousand Stars Palace, it really is true that enemies often cross paths." Gu Chen’s gaze flickered slightly, and his expression turned slightly colder upon seeing several people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

He certainly had no fondness for this sect.

"Hand it over."

At this moment, a man from Ten Thousand Stars Palace stepped forward, looking at Blood Jade with a cold smirk. His gaze was somewhat feverish as he sized up her graceful body.

Blood Jade was indeed different from other women, with a strong character and a body far from soft, exuding a robust sense of beauty that was captivating, especially her blood-colored hair, which added significantly to her allure.

At this instant, the corner of her mouth was bloodied, as Blood Jade had not acquiesced without a fight and had engaged in a confrontation, only to be defeated. Had she not reacted swiftly, she might have been seized by the unscrupulous man from Ten Thousand Stars Palace.

"Why should I hand it over to you? That’s my property!" Blood Jade lifted her head; even faced with Ten Thousand Stars Palace, she did not yield.

The many cultivators watching the scene couldn’t help but sigh at the sight, noting that Blood Jade was indeed quite stubborn.

"This young lady, what’s wrong with showing some humility to the immortal-class sect Ten Thousand Stars Palace? It’s not disgraceful."

"That’s right; if I were her, I’d eagerly throw myself at them. To have a connection with Ten Thousand Stars Palace is a fortune that many years cannot bring!"

"Regrettably, I have no sister; otherwise, I might use this as an opportunity to get on good terms with the heroes of Ten Thousand Stars Palace."

A few shameless cultivators spoke up, eliciting eye-rolls from people around them.

Indeed, throughout the Upper Realm, countless individuals harbored such thoughts towards those immortal-class sects and the top ten tribes.

After all, forging ties with these most powerful forces was something many in the Upper Realm strived for over several lifetimes.

And indeed, the benefits to be gained were immeasurable.

Yet, many cultivators couldn’t stand the overbearing nature of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, feeling secretly angry, but they didn’t dare to speak out.

After all, that was an immortal-class sect, and no matter who you were, none could compete.

No matter how strong, could anyone be mightier than the chief of Ten Thousand Stars Palace?

"Who are those few people, they look somewhat unfamiliar?" At this moment, a young cultivator curiously asked.

Following his gaze, one could see two young men standing beside the four individuals from Ten Thousand Stars Palace, looking at Blood Jade with a mocking air.

"Those are the successors of the Unrestrained Sect, a hidden sect that is also very powerful, second only to the immortal-class sects. The inheritors of the Unrestrained Sect are said to be on good terms with the chief of Ten Thousand Stars Palace, and the two of them have joined forces to seek various divine materials to break through their own limitations," someone who knew explained.

"I see," the young cultivator who asked nodded. No wonder he hadn’t seen them; they were from a hidden sect.

Among these hidden sects were some with extraordinarily strong abilities, almost on par with the immortal-class sects and the top ten tribes. It was natural that their disciples were no less formidable.

Moreover, there were also pupils personally taught by powerful independent cultivators who had entered the holy realm and were not to be underestimated.

One could say that this conflict among the Ten Thousand Tribes was a gathering of heroes, unparalleled in splendor.

Upon hearing this, the four from Ten Thousand Stars Palace reacted with the leader giving a cold laugh, "Kid, you’ve got some nerve. There’s never been something that Ten Thousand Stars Palace has set its sights on that didn’t get handed over!"

"I also advise you, it’s best to hand over the treasure willingly and come with us to avoid some physical pain. This is a fortune you couldn’t cultivate in several lifetimes," the two from the Unrestrained Sect also spoke, their smiles odd.

Hearing that she should go with them, a look of disgust appeared on Blood Jade’s pretty face. She knew full well what these people were thinking and spat disdainfully, "Disgusting!"

"Don’t provoke us and bring a harsher retribution upon yourself. Do you have any idea what your fate would be if you angered Ten Thousand Stars Palace?" the people from Ten Thousand Stars Palace said coldly, issuing a threat.
